>[Required fields are] also a maintenance problem. Over time, one may want to modify the data definition to remove a required field, but that may cause existing clients of the data to crash.

Okay, but would you rather have it crash or allow for a program to run on the wrong data? Especially if you do that and then say that everything has zero as a default value.

The question remains whether the serialization format should be taking care of that, or a round of parsing later on with a schema on the side; but if you do the former without the latter you're setting yourself up for deployment nightmares
Maybe a dumb question but does embeddable mean embeddable in web browsers? If so it would be awesome to include this in a web-based version of SICP.
If anything, I had a feeling of pride and nostalgia with Skibidi Toilet. It's a long and proud tradition of total nonsense somehow turning out to be funny.

What's different today is that it's actually popular. Whereas none of the other kids at school knew about Neil Cicierega or Arfenhouse.
Ads are not the same thing as impersonation, lying about who you are and where you are calling from.

It's really cool you keep doing all this stuff. I think the most fun moments I had with code and electronics were the several hackathons I participated in both in Codebits and pixels.camp. I had never heard about Inércia before, thanks for sharing!

I agree with most of the commenters here. I’ll share my anecdote.

Years ago I travelled to Florida to watch the final shuttle launch. I had a little hand held video camera and planned on catching the entire thing on video. I was thinking it would be something I’d watch forever.

the launch starts and I’ve got the shot framed perfectly. A few seconds later I look up front the viewfinder and was completely overwhelmed by what I saw.

I promptly put the camera down and let the magnitude of the launch wash over me.

I’ve taken two major lessons from this experience.

First, shuttle launches were amazing feats of human engineering and the power of a launch was breathtaking.

Second, live in the moment, then capture memories when convenient but don’t let that interfere with the experience.
It seems like there should be a balance between photograph nothing and capture everything. What I have been trying to do is: snap a few photos, then enjoy the rest of my time. If anything else noteworthy happens, I write a note about it using my note taking system (org-roam).

Level Up Your TypeScript Projects: Discover the Power of ESLint and Prettier
Sweden has a long history where proponents of abstinence to alcohol have been influential in health care decisions and politics. This naturally extends to the view on drugs.

Combine this with a historical Lutheran view of probity and personal responsibility, and it's easy to see why drugs have been branded as entirely detrimental.

Sweden is a lot more liberal when it comes to the sale and promotion of alchohol nowadays, even if it's hard to believe. The view on recreational drugs is following, albeit slowly. It will be harder and harder to justify treating weed as akin to heroin as people are exposed to cultural norms in the US (where most popular culture comes from here)

As an example, Sara Skyttedal, MEP for the Christian Democrats, has publicly advocated for legalization of certain drugs. Considering her party is part of the right-wing coalition in government, this is kinda big, especially as KD is historically full of teetotallers.

When startups receive huge waves of investor cash it can seem like the runway is forever. Look at Twitter which had far more employees than it needed. When the cash seems infinite there may be a tendency to forget the principle of staying lean.
It's conceptually that simple. But like many simple concepts implementation requires understanding and dealing with the rather more complex environment and circumstances around the problem in the first place.
Why is losing data better than “giving” it (an encrypted version if you care about privacy) to others?
Definitely: Some manufacturers do this for other onboard systems (e.g. exhaust gas treatment). Tesla should use the break pads occasionally instead of relying on recuperation.
> but the reaction of many to being recorded was very, very negative.

Rightly so.

The lives of others aren't just data for us to unilaterally collect, to the contrary of the "beg forgiveness" big data collection philosophy of the last few decades.
On iOS at least you can block calls from outside your contact list. Which is what I do.

Very interesting as a historical artefact - file that under “ideas that aged poorly”. Yes, some people over-do it (like the inanity of watching your phone screen while filming ten minutes of shaky fireworks footage from a long way away that you’re never going to watch again, as others have mentioned), but I definitely cherish my photo albums of random pictures and videos I’ve taken around the place, with at least 99.5% of it having not been shared on social media, but plenty shown to people I know or messaged to friends if I knew something would interest them.

Sometimes I remember something I’ve seen, flick back to find a picture of it, and other photos I’ve taken on the same trip or whatever bring memories flooding back of things I’d totally forgotten I’d experienced. I love it!
It's been far less successful in the USA, and I think the reason is probably that US governments don't know how to do anything except tax and police. So we decriminalize, which removes the law enforcement deterrent, but then we do little to nothing when it comes to treatment, counseling, rehabilitation, etc. We will pick up the body when they die on the street from an OD though, so that's something.
The ultimate example of this is solar eclipses. If you are fortunate to experience one in person, don't distract yourself with camera equipment or trying to take pics with your phone - unless you already make a living doing that.

There's a few reasons I can't do that and even though I've been using Linux since the mid 2000s, I don't want to spend my time tinkering.

Apart from that, the bigger issue is that this is something that affects many users and the selling point of Apple was always that it should just work, which it clearly doesn't in this case.
Correlating risk and reward is how a market works. Taking risks would not make any sense otherwise.
Paerhaps in your circle of friends. But spotify is not that popular. I wouldn't be surprised if their numbers of users are doctored. I know travel sites count the number of devices used by the same user as distinct users. One reached a number higher than the actual world population, people starting asking questions, and then they clarified it. It helps with marketing when you create the impression that "everyone uses it". For instance Threads has more users than OpenAI's chat bots but people think there are more users of the latter due to marketing. Spotify claims to have 226 million subscribers - as many as there are yahoo users. Yet I guarantee you that Yahoo is not popular. And neither is Spotify.

- non-free compiler

- GC (when Java, C#, etc already ate into that C++ segment

- competing standard libraries

These have been solved in different ways but diseminating that knowledge and changing people's gut feels is hard. Its then made more difficult by competitors coming out before overcoming this (e.g. Rust)

Internal document at Meta written to explain why Meta only officially supported 3 languages at the time for server side development - Hack, C++ and Python. Rust is supported as well now, bringing the total number to 4 (https://engineering.fb.com/2022/07/27/developer-tools/progra...). The post explained why D was used at one point, but the use was phased out.

I no longer have access, but if a Meta employee is reading this, I'm referring to a post that called Alexandrescu a "whirlwind of energy" in terms of how he personally encouraged and enabled teams to adopt D for projects.
And I'm unable to vouch for it like I usually can - but I an also flag it if I wanted to?

In the real world, the #1 selling point at the moment is merely that the fediverse is not Twitter. The supposed freedom of running server instances is an exaggerated benefit. Being federated with the big instances is essential for reaching the general public with your content, and that’s important for any academics doing pop-sci outreach. Moreover, as the other person mentions, even if your server conforms in every way with Mastodon founding-generation demands, your server can get defederated from the big instances if it federates with a server they don’t like.

These discussions tend to go in circles because there are several incompatible notions of what “scientific computing” is. The first arena that comes to my mind is very high performance numerical code: simulations of merging galaxies, of the atmosphere, etc. In this arena, there are exactly four languages that have been used at the most demanding level: Fortran, C, C++, and Julia. Python is not on the radar.

Depends on what you mean. For me personally as a physicst, Julia supplanted Python like 7 years ago and I haven't looked back. There's a vibrant, active ecosystem of useful open source packages relevant to my needs constantly being developed. I've had zero reason to use python in ages.

Other people may have different needs, different experiences, and different organizational or legacy constraints that makes it so that switching from python to julia is just not on the table any time soon. That's fine.

Julia and Python continue to both grow in the scientific computing space, and I think Julia is becoming more and more of a known name, and an accepted tool in the scientist's toolkit. It may not be the tool the majority of scientists use any time soon, but that's not really a problem.
Comparing a fractional CTO with a CTO coach might initially sound like a mismatch, but my recent experience has shed new light on this.
I imagine there will be times where the LLM hallucinates or gives too many permissions. I'm sure it is still better than the try and see approach that most humans take when it comes to IAM setup. I'm just wondering if this product becomes irrelevant as Amazon Q rolls out and probably has some of this functionality baked in.

Regardless, anything to make IAM provisioning easier is worth a go as long as you verify the results using a simulator or something.

Yes, Nils Bejerot was the guy. He saw drug addiction almost as a ”cultural virus” that needed to be stomped out of society. He educated the swedish police on these matters. Sometimes known as the ”father of swedish drug policy”.

First of all its pretty awesome your permissions are very tight. You are definitely on the other side of the spectrum compared to the rest. I get it that there is a lot of skepticism because of people hyping LLM's so indeed for now we use it as Copilot and not the driver.
Hopefully you can agree though its pretty random that we are still manually creating IAM policies and need to get accustomed with the thousands of different permissions :)

Study Identifies Forensic Disciplines Most 'Prone' to Error
The linked talk explains that death isn't necessarily related to adaptation. There are many advanced organisms that just keep splitting and don't die, unless eaten or something. Moreover, the part of ourselves that accumulates adaptations (the line of germ cells passed from parents to children) also keeps splitting and doesn't die.

Rather, the point is that at some point the immortal germ line found a weird trick: "let's make in each generation a bunch of cells that will help the germ line reproduce, but that won't themselves reproduce". Like sterile worker bees. And our body, including the brain, is a pile of just such disposable cells.

No, they're saying that severance is based on tenure (and local notice period requirements). On average, people laid off get 5 months worth of severance - some more, some less, based on tenure.
When the Rookie Becomes the Vet: Soft Skills for First-Time Tech Leads
I'm very slowly coming around to this realization myself. I dont post but take a lot of pictures when I travel.

I don't know how to balance it.
Whenever I'm visiting a new place I usually take videos for my Instagram stories. The "optimization" I made a few years back is I would just open my native camera and take a video rather than messing with IG and then post to the platform later whenever I was at the airport or hotel. These are all 5-10 second videos that usually just pan across whatever i'm exploring, quick and the phone goes back in my pocket to continue experiencing whatever it is that I'm experiencing.

Since then I've made another "optimization" known as "meeting my s.o". She loves taking photos of places, food, us, etc and I just let her do all the photo taking (or at least command the process, she will often ask me to take a photo as well). She loves taking the photos and I love it because it takes off any pressure from me taking photos (or at least figuring out what to take, I still get asked at least a dozen times on a trip to whip out my phone and take a picture). Still I consider this a great improvement because I can just go in and enjoy a place without always having to think "what would be a good photo/video"

Those days D2 was probably not ready to be adopted in prod anyway and Andrei worked as a research scientist on a specific problem so I don't think he was on "that" level of corporate influence. He then left FB to work fully on D.

When you read about D and why it is not popular, one thing to keep in mind, is that there was D1 for a long time and then came D2 and this process was not as smooth as it could be. The dev progress was and stays slow but steady. D is in a better place today than it was 3 years ago for example.
I saw it as a sign that they needed to find ways to get people to spend time listening to anything that is proprietary (podcasts, unique recommendation algorithms) to avoid just being the middle man for music streaming and getting squeezed by the publishers for all their revenue.

Edit: By proprietary I mean - owned by Spotify.
Celso, on the topic of organizing events and building community, please bring back Codebits v3! Miss those unique vibes!
They have opportunities to leverage their massive footprint by vertically integrating. They could begin to acquire talent and exclusively release their music and prioritize it in their algorithms or forge agreements with existing labels that create this sort of arrangement. They would then have leverage to negotiate better deals with 3rd party rights holders.

In essence a type of payola since they have a lot of sway in picking winners and losers. They sort of tried this with podcasts but I’m not sure those move needles like music can.

So yeah their current model may be limited but they have a lot to work with.
It does depend on experience doing that and skill-level, thats for sure, but I have fantastic photos of the time since my oldest daughter was born until now, and i wouldn't miss it for the world.

That’s mythology: executives have no such obligation to either shareholders or the board because business decisions are very rarely unambiguous wins or losses, and a great deal of discretion is given to their judgement over any non-trivial timeframe.

Consider, for example, the number of people who thought turn of the century Apple should become a Windows reseller or, later, sell the iPod brand to a business which understood how to be successful in the phone market like Nokia. There were certainly times where that could have generated a great deal of short-term gain, and it was easy to find some analyst prattling on about why they had to do it.

In the case of Spotify, the only situation where 17% of their company is an unambiguous waste of money with no benefit to the future business should be accompanied by the CEO’s resignation because that would be an enormous managerial failure in the hiring process. Since it seems unlikely that even 1% of their workforce is that bad, it’s far more likely that this has nothing to do with long-term success and everything to do with pleasing the activist investors and consulting firms who’ve been pushing the idea of layoffs as a way to remind workers not to ask for more.
Definitely a lot of Codebits first edition vibes!

Absolutely not. Anywhere where accuracy, precision and safety matters, throwing LLMs in the mix is irresponsible IMHO or being too optimistic or possibly not understanding how these giant arrays of floating point numbers work or just hoping for the best.

Similarly, LLMs used for SQL generation meant for business analytics is also a critical area where if numbers are wrong, it might lead to a business going bankrupt.

For Prototype, fun exercise, sure go all in.
I don't see debt being mentioned and I wonder how much economic activity is shuffling debt around e.g. if someone buys a car with credit but can't keep up with payments so has to sell it at a loss, it probably looks great on economic dashboards - two cars have been sold! In real life, it really sucked though.

A side note - I am a little wary at how frequently economic figures have been revised recently. It makes suspicious when people are surprised at good news that seems to go against sentiment. I fear that in a couple of years time, the Fed might discover Dave's spreadsheet included December twice or something.
