Re: in-person vs remote being better.

We have NO IDEA how we’re going to maintain our current levels of energy usage even 100 years from now. We’ll run out of gas, run facefirst into global warming, and electrification with renewables will require a monumental amount of scarce resources and work.

We have a great solution to part of this problem. Move electrons, not people. Even if office culture really was all that and you’re right about everything, at the end of the day it doesn’t even matter because it’s unsustainable. We can’t move to solutions like electric self-driving cars fast enough, the electric co-worker MUST be part of the solution.

So I argue it doesn’t matter if remote is better. The costs of offices are increasing more and more and more and something had to give. It’s not if in office be remote work is better, the question is what benefits most form our limited abilities to work out of an office? Right now office culture is STILL running on borrowed time by having the commuters not pay for the externalities of their emissions. Of course on-site is important but that 5 day in the office culture was ALWAYS going to die.

> And yes, it can be done purely by monitoring filesystem changes. Sure, a full index needs to be built the first time, but that's a one-off cost

And how do you build the full index initially without recursively walking the filesystem? Otherwise you're not going to match Everything's performance on initial index creation.

And regarding the second crucial question: How do you know that a file you saw the last time your app or daemon was running, hasn't been modified in the meantime?

You still haven't answered those two fundamental questions. Everything else are solved issues anyway.

> index updates after that should be fast enough to do for each write/remove/move operation that you can update the index dozens of times per second

Like I already said, that has never been a problem. My app can currently update the index several thousand times per second and there's still a lot of room for improvements with many low hanging fruits.

> For non-transient filesystems, performance should be the same as, or better than, Everything.

You keep saying that, but you're also not giving an answer to how you're going to solve the two major and pretty much only issues.

South Korea: Students sue after teacher ends exam 90 seconds early
No less tiresome than your dismissal of my argument as semantics. I read the OP as asking to turn the center console into a dumb screen for use with a secondary device, or at least the allowance of any native casting software. That is obviously an absurd idea. Until Apple puts out a car, why would a car maker cede the center console to an indeterminate second platform? Do consumers want Apple play, or Android auto? No, they want the best possible navigation experience, and car manufacturers are not going to rely on third party platforms to deliver an increasing share of that experience (with music, navigation, games, movies) on that center screen. Forgetting even the customer benefit, automakers aren't going to pass on the monetization opportunities the console represents. [1]

My point might be overly deterministic, but it's not semantics. I'm saying software has already eaten the world, and if we're going to be making outrageous wishes, we should be wishing for the car companies to implement better UI software, not wash their hands of it. At least the former is achievable. Arguably, the latter isn't even desirable.

> working code requires ongoing maintenance

I don't love this either because working code needs no maintenance whatsoever. After all it's already working. There's also no notion of "repairing" code because it isn't something that can just break suddenly.

So really what we're talking about is that necessary changes to the codebase can arise from not just the stakeholders as we typically define them but also because the environment around the code changes.

Someone who invested in shutters that can close instead of being purely decorative will be able to adapt more quickly and cheaply to a wind storm than someone who has to go out and buy wood to board them up.
Imagine if you had to pull out your credit card every time you wanted to charge your phone at night. This is how most EV drivers charge, so the paradigm for charging an EV is totally different than filling up at a pump.

I got frustrated with dealing with all these charger manufacturer's lousy apps, and that's what led Starlight to focus on building a seamless plug-and-charge experience. No apps required, just plug it in and go.

The pilots union (and by extension airlines) need to establish a pension/insurance category for this eventuality imo.

We need pilots with mental health issues to seek treatment for the safety of themselves and more importantly passengers. The mental health issue may be resistant to treatment or otherwise disqualify them from flying in the near or long term. When that happens, they lose their career.

A robust system for handling this eventuality, much like getting injured on the job, needs to be put in place.

Right, but I think the point is that the 2D can often be just as tedious to create as the 3D (and less enjoyable) but it gets less attention. Tools like this take for granted 2D documentation, not to mention the ability of the part to be fabricated reasonably through a standard process (CNC, injection molding, etc.)
> Code is a liability in the sense that it has a non-zero carrying cost.

The under-appreciated corollary to that: tests are code, hence tests have non-zero carrying cost as well.

> The ideal software implementing a given functionality has as low of a carrying cost as possible. More code, in quantity and complexity, typically means more carrying costs.

You understress the complexity point. Higher quantity of code with high clarity and low complexity would have lower carrying cost. This is where DRY bites people: ill-suited or excessive abstractions can be worse than a little bit of copy-paste that are immediately visible to the eye.

> In this analogy tech debt is a tradeoff for some short term benefit (like simplicity, time to market) at the expense of higher carrying costs down the line.

In a general sense, doesn’t this hold for everything we do? If you really dig into it, is there an activity that is not a trade-off of short-term benefit for higher costs down the line (be it waste, pollution, something unknown or generally entropy)?

The argument is context dependent, as is essentially anything related to security. Key verification isn't for most people and can even create more noise as normal people frequently change phones. But the average threat environment isn't the only threat environment. In higher risk settings (politicians, journalists, etc) verification rates are expected to be higher than 0.1% because these people frequently are also more knowledgeable of security practices and/or have better advisors than the general public. While the context isn't explicitly stated I think it is fair to assume that most can infer this and that if not someone can explain it. Often things that appear ridiculous but are common practice aren't if context is considered (doesn't mean good thing but just less absurd and it can be understood why the ridiculous thing is done).
My friend and I had an amazing time scootering around SF a few years ago. Dangerous as hell but fun as hell too. I think it cost $20/scooter for several hours, completely worth it.

I, a high school student, had almost never used Next.js before I built [Zyma](https://github.com/EvanZhouDev/zyma) with my friend in a 12-hour hackathon. I learned how to use Next.js properly within and beyond that hackathon (in around 3-6 hours of actual learning and experimenting in total), just from reading the documentation.

I almost never used Next.js before because I had contributed to another project before that uses Next.js, but never really touched the parts that are Next.js-specific.

The main thing about Next.js (or I guess any modern React meta-framework in this day) that was a new concept to me would be React Server Components.

My experience with Vite consists of SvelteKit (which is built on Vite) and I would just say that the DX of Vite is a bit nicer than Next.js as Next.js tries to get in everything: it’s fairly opinionated on how to do things while Vite typically doesn’t get in your way.

Has warrantless mass surveillance really become so normalized that such gross violation of people's rights is just casually brushed aside like some unsurprising everyday occurrence, so common it can't be helped? Lawyers and journalists are people too, they're citizens, human beings with rights and they don't deserve to be "monitored" by anyone. If "everyone knows" they're being monitored, why is nobody doing a thing about it?

All these three letter agencies operate in the darkness and away from the public eye. That's where they belong, because what they do to their own citizens is supposed to be unconstitutional. If they've really gotten so brazen as to operate openly instead of clandestinely and are still enjoying complete impunity then there really is no hope left.

I’m pretty attached (perhaps irrationally) to Arch Linux and KDE Plasma — but they’ve been my main driver for many years now. So, in general, I’d prefer just something that can just be installed as a theme, over installing a new distro (or a new DE) for a new UX.

Even a new DE might be something I’ll install on Arch and try out once in a while, but the thought of switching from a rolling-release distro (Arch, in my case) to a point-release distro (e.g. Ubuntu) just to try out a new desktop UX is a bit too much for me.

I’m confused. I have limited expressive with EVs, but when I used a Supercharger, it seemed exactly like a typical gas station experience, other than payment and time spent. Why can’t the payment model be adapted? What am I missing?

But that plays into the "wild" part. It is wild that you can refuse to let someone do something that you know how to do.

In the "compulsive licensing" world, it would be "wild" to not allow someone to perform a song that you played first. Which is why we don't allow that.

In fashion, it would be wild for you to have certain button schemes that nobody else can use. We don't allow that. In math, it would be wild to have equations nobody could use. We... sorta do not allow that.

Tap & Pay (Apple Pay, etc) are a great backup option -- and Starlight will implement those, but the primary modality of payment should require no user input. That's what we are hoping to accomplish. It's especially important when you are plugging in every night. Fiddling with your wallet or phone (battery dead??) is just one extra step that ultimately is not necessary if we are to design a system at scale.

... and then people wonder about competition from China.

Who wouldn't want to buy a cheap printer that can use HP's industrial print heads but the firmware just asks you - the owner - how much ink you put in and it doesn't bother with any kind of DRM? By now, some of these Chinese knock-off products are truly superior to the original design they were once trying to imitate. And mostly that's just because the "original" keeps getting worse.

EDIT: just to give an example, here's the link to purchase an authentic 731 print head directly from HP in the US for $116: https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-731-designjet-printhead

They go for about $30 in authentic but used or $20 for a good factory-new counterfeit. And that printhead can also dispense UV ink like what you use for printing on plastic packaging and cans.

It's brilliant technology, made/designed in the US, and highly valued all around the world. But the HP printer that you usually buy together with this HP printhead, that's been fully enshittified.

This has broader implications than Custom GPTs

Yeah this seems overblown. Custom GPTs can already make requests via function calls / tools to 3rd party services.

The only difference I see here, is the UI shows you when a function call happens, but even that is easy to obscure behind a 'reasonable sounding' label.

The expectation should be: If I'm using a 3rd party's GPT, they can see all the data I input.

This is the same as any mobile app on a phone, or any website you visit.

The only real 'line' here in a cultural sense might be offline software or tools that you don't expect to connect to the web at all for their functionality.
