Friendships develop naturally, you can't force them. You are forced to have relationships with co-workers though. Just because you're forced to have co-workers, this doesn't mean you should be forced to be friends with them. In the end, if friendships naturally develop, that's great. If friendships don't develop, there's nothing wrong with having a purely professional relationship with co-workers, especially if they are productive, energizing, kind, etc. There's no reason to feel like this is a negative thing. I can certainly get all my friendship needs met outside of work and love from my family at home. The only time I'd be desperate to make friends at work is if I'm single in a new city with no attachments to anyone around me. Even then, I can't force friendships to develop at work. The nature of friendship is different from work relationships.
Disagree. I sometimes have cause to comment here and obliquely reference my own project, without its name.

Because its name isn’t important to the context, and mentioning it seems gauche; I don’t want to ‘make the conversation about me’.

It’s not because I really don’t want anyone here to know about it: if that was the case, I would have kept my trap shut in the first place.
How are we at a stage where setting up user management is not an option?
Yeah, and these things cost a ton of money - around 200 million $ for your average Airbus A320. If you now ask yourself, hey how are airlines making money, the answer is: they aren't, the money all comes from frequent flyer programs [1] - it's gotten so ridiculous that the value of many airlines has shrunk to less than their FFP programs are worth and they are loss leaders [2]!

Barely any airline actually has physical or real estate assets any more in their own name. It's all leased, rented or otherwise not on their books anymore, which was contributing to how badly airlines were losing money during COVID.

I really appreciate you sharing your concerns, and for all the hope and energy you've put into Matrix to date. Very much to your point, we're not yet in a state where I recommend Matrix to friends and family. Right now I only use it with people in FOSS and other circles where folks are a little more patient with the tech.

Only time will tell, and of course I'm biased as the Matrix.org Foundation's Managing Director, but I think there's good reason to remain hopeful:

The spec continues to evolve with major improvements expected in feature set and performance in the next year as we get to the 2.0 spec release, the Foundation is staffing up and beginning to fundraise, we're on the cusp of holding our first ever community elections to seat a Governing Board, and adoption has continued doubling on an annual basis.

I invite you and anyone else who is invested and/or concerned to join us in the Foundation's new office room – it's a way to get a view into ongoing activities, ask questions, provide direct feedback, and celebrate all the little wins on our way to collective success: https://matrix.to/#/#foundation-office:matrix.org

You are vastly, vastly underestimating the amount of investment required. It's in the trillions of dollars.
Well said. Like going for a long walk in the woods and getting lost completely in tangential thinking.
You seem pretty dedicated to misreading me in the least charitable way. I've noticed that linguists seem to have a particular bugbear about amateurs daring to tread in their territory.

My original 'argument' was really just a list of ways in which those words that someone else had listed as definitely unrelated might be considered related to noses, to which you replied "You can't make the argument that words starting with sn- must have something to do with noses by reference to developments in the sense of a word that occurred many decades after the word was already current". note the lack of me ever saying any argument at all (and certainly nothing about 'must') when just listing words and the ways that they 'could' be considered related to noses.

You then replied to my positing that there might be mechanisms besides sn- always meaning and having meant nose-related by misreading me again "your arguments above don't speak to this point. Those are just random flights of fancy dedicated to defending a false idea. For example, snake is older than the phenomenon in question, always started with sn-, and hasn't changed relevantly in meaning." Note, in the above clarification, I did not state that snake eventually came to hold that meaning, nor do I care at all about or mention 'the phenomenon in question' as relating to other words having to hold that meaning at the same time. Your counter-argument seems, again, completely orthogonal to what I'm saying.

The idea that 'turned up your nose at' or 'look down your nose at' also would have to be phrases in use for it to be a metaphor understood also seems, to be charitable, orthogonal to the point, as certainly at some point these phrases came into existence due to a correspondence with reality without them having existed prior -- and the idea that one line of evidence is 'sufficient to explain' and therefor the other lines are invalid is... not really how explanations work, in evolutionary contexts?

However, I've still upvoted you -- I appreciate your taking the time to engage on this subject, and it is clear that it is something you both care about and have expertise in.

In the future, perhaps consider when you write down combative phrases as to whether you're really arguing with the text at hand, or if you're arguing with a bunch of other imaginary foes who you've dealt with in the past, and use the principle of charity.

If instead of assuming arguments I didn't make, you tackled them in a more hypothetical manner (if this is what you're saying, this would be problematic because, etc), you might find your blood pressure and conversations in general improve.

Either way, thank you for the enlightening discussion. I wish you the best, and a happy holiday season!
Drama sells ads.

It's the same reason most news stories are shit today. They aren't about conveying information or educating anyone about events in the world.

They are clickbait garbage, meant solely to drive traffic in for Ad revenue and in recent history, they are slanted based on a bias that the owner wants, not any sort of factual, unbiased reporting that one may have erroneously expected from the 4th Estate.

> How exactly does Deno Deploy know there’s a cron in your code, even when there’s no web server handling requests?

> When a new production deployment of your project is created, an ephemeral V8 isolate is used to evaluate your project’s top-level scope and to discover any Deno.cron definitions. A global cron scheduler is then updated with your project’s latest cron definitions, which includes updates to your existing crons, new crons, and deleted crons.

Having cron jobs defined in the code itself just feels weird. I get the convenience of doing things "in one place", but it's such an orthogonal concept. But I suppose combining things is part of the allure of deno any way.

Now that aside, the Flavor Flav dinosaur is the best thing I've seen all week.

NVIDIA probably recognizes revenue upon delivery of product. The investment write down would probably impact their P&L and have some associated tax benefits there.
Intermodal (hauling shipping containers for trucks to take last-kilometer) is by far America’s biggest freight type. Something like 80% or more of consumer goods go through intermodal or road on their way to distribution centers that load it onto trucks that deliver it to the store (or your home).

For rail alone it looks like 50/50. 50% is resources and dry goods, oil and gas, and the rest is consumer goods, boxcar, flatcar, intermodal. [1]

A more charitable reading might accept that language names may be used as shorthand for particular language implementations.

So a JavaScript program may have failed as a TypeScript program, and a different program which worked as TypeScript may have been measured.

I remember a lot of noise when Loongson added support for their CPUs to Go. Go already had MIPS64, so if they had to do porting work, it might not be just a MIPS clone. I haven't looked at either architecture in detail for a long time, though.
Not that you're wrong, but thats a hilariously broad category (it also includes almost all electronics)
The switching costs are immense because you often need to weave their identity stack into all the software you write to allow for single sign on. These companies can milk their customers dry because their customers allow these providers to hold a gun to their head. You can sell a company like this to Broadcom and make megabucks as companies take 5 years to switch away.
The US went from something like 10% of buildings with air conditioning to 90% in two decades. That was a harder problem than switching all gasoline cars to EV.
You're the millionth person to make the argument that we should treat AI learning the same as human learning. It's still a bad argument, but I'm getting very tired of explaining why treating a human the same as a computer program sucks ass.
>What's wild to me is the assumption that Iran would suddenly launch a single F-14 fighter to attack a ship.

Limited hit and run attacks were typical Iranian behavior at the time.

The US tested to see if the F-14 could launch a Harpoon anti-ship missile just a couple of years prior to this because Iran had both F-14s and Harpoons. The test was successful.

It is highly unlikely that Iran ever equipped the F-14 with Harpoons but the thought that they would because it was a capability they possessed was a very real fear at the time.

That’s theoretically true but very hard to pull off when Apple’s handily outperforming ARM’s CPU design team. It’s unclear what they could build outside of the existing license that would be compelling enough to garner a much greater license share, especially since unless it was patentable Apple would have an upper bound where they’d prefer to build their own.
For sure. As someone who has stayed away from this part of the biz, infrastructure always looked like makework to me. Necessary, mind you, but still makework that was indicative of poor/insufficient computing primitives for services.

> it seems like JVM is experience a bit of a comeback with a few companies adopting Kotlin for backend

JVM 21 adding virtual threads, and Spring Boot 3.2 using them with one line of config is huge. We can now write simple code that looks blocking and let the runtime handle it instead of writing async function/await everywhere. Personally I'm loving Spring Boot 3.2 with Kotlin, especially for the fact that I can bundle scheduled jobs, API, and frontend all in one place for my indie projects. Plus the JVM world of devs seems to have a somewhat decent appreciation of how to make web services that aren't rife with unnecessary coupling.

The bad? There is a legendary amount of cargo-culting blog posts and questionable advice around Spring Boot, often for older versions.
You're just kicking the can down the road. Where does the "god entity" come from?

What does this actually mean? Can you give any examples?
Availability is often strongly correlated with technical maturity. Small brushless motors with FOC didn't become widely available and mature until really the late 2010s. Arguably the foundation of nearly all of DJI's product lines is due to their early mastery of small brushless motor control (drones, gimbals, lens controls, robots, etc), and that's a company founded in 2006, well after the events of the article.

You can get good control of brushed motors with just a couple of transistors. Good brushless control means FOC, which really requires a fairly capable microcontroller in addition to all the power electronics for variable-frequency drive. While brushed motors certainly have limitations, those were quite well understood by the early 2000s (to the point here that assessing whether or not damage had occurred was "just" a question of "have these few transistors suffered from voltage applied in an unintended manner"). Brushless motors involve way more components with way more integration required to make then small. Far more complexity and potential failure modes need to be understood.
Hard to answer the question because "reliable" means different things to different people. Infotainment system keeps dropping Bluetooth connections? "Unreliable." Engine seizes at 70 MPH? "Unreliable." Car only has minor mechanical problems, but dealers can't get parts for months? "Unreliable."

A car is too complex a thing to be characterized with a single scalar value.

It comes from Amazon's Leadership Principles (LPs) [1] which honestly feel like the vestiges of the company's heyday. The two new ones (at the bottom) were added by Andy Jassy when he took over and are a joke within the company. But here's what this post's title is referring to

> Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit

> Leaders are obligated to respectfully challenge decisions when they disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. Leaders have conviction and are tenacious. They do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, they commit wholly.

That's not to take away from JAQ by any means I just find the JQ style syntax uber hard to grokk so jql makes more sense for me.

The article contradicts your assertion with some actual numbers - salaries for physicians are frequently higher in very red areas (market forces at work), but those red areas are still unable to fill positions. Many physicians, especially those workings in women's health, would rather live in a blue states and earn $100k less than they could earn in a red state.
Why is there no mention of Bard or any Google model in the paper?

The paper notes 5 of 11 researchers are affiliated with Google, but it seems to be 11 of 11 if you count having received a paycheck from Google in some form current/past/intern/etc.

I can think of a couple generous interpretations I’d prefer to make, for example maybe it’s simply their models are not mature enough?

However is research right, not competitive analysis? I think at least a footnote mentioning it would be helpful.
> do you have full rights to complain about what you made inevitable happening?

No, it undermines the complaint’s legitimacy.

That doesn’t mean we must be unsympathetic; but it is a factor. Also, these decisions are often made by individuals within groups. Collective punishment is immoral. It’s also quite likely to produce blowback.

In Canada, early in the kindergarten they start teaching kids that "equal" and "just" and "same" aren't always synonyms.

A good example they use is when kids of different heights may want to see or reach something; the shorter kid might benefit from a stool. Their situation isn't the same, but the result of this extra effort brings equality.

There are still adults that will get very upset about granting the "special privilege" of a stool for the need and benefit "(real or imaginary)" of the shorter kid (I'm not sure if they too get "victim points" due to their pain and suffering over rights and privileges extended to minorities and victims), but I'm hopeful progress can be made over the course of generations :)
The correct answer to all this type of smear campaign (they do this to beef, among other thigns) is "yah, so what? If there's a sustainability problem raise the price of water until a sustainable amount is being used across all uses. If there's a claimed externality not being priced that externality exists for all uses, so raise the price until the externality is covered and see who is using what after that."

This whole line of argument is utterly stupid because it assumes incorrectly that the complainer should have input into what I do in my life and that is the polar opposite of how a western country, especially the USA, works constitutionally.
