I don't understand the purpose of taking a good word "perfectionism" for a pathological fear of criticism and rejection, and replacing it with a random incomplete list of things that might have caused a pathological fear of criticism and rejection.
Yes, as I posted further down I am really intrigued by what makes it possible to lift other people up. Because the potential is there. Not in everyone but surely someone who would step up as the new lead if someone disappears.

Documentation is good but sometimes i feel like there is a need for something more.

Maybe the previous guy needs to move out of the way. Maybe his way of doing code reviews is discouraging - how important is it really to do everything like it was wired in his brain? Or just let go of the idea of how the code is structured?

I take mentoring seriously since this is my way of adding force multiplication without having to become a manager.
Just cook from scratch. I almost never buy premade foods, because I like to cook and it ends up tasting better anyway.
That sounds sort like an inefficient static site generator
Naked News was yesterday’s…
Huh, that really feels like one of those “small world” occurrences. Interesting to think about.
I also find them invaluable for my walks. Being able to hear traffic is a tremendous help. Interestingly it has made me more aware of how loud So Cal roads can be. It is not possible to set the volume loud enough for major thoroughfares although plugging one ear helps.
What do you think words like "performant framework for building web user interfaces" (Vue), "rendering is blazing fast, because Lit touches only the dynamic parts of your UI" (lit) and similar mean?

No, they don't mean "our architecture and state manipulation".

> No one cares about state manipulation performance because as you said, it's a solved problem.

Indeed. That's way in any modern all modern frameworks, without an exception, the main focus is how to touch the DOM as little as possible because it's slow as molasses.
It's an important point. In the broader context, most new businesses fail in relatively early stages due to running out of capital, ie time. Which is to say, most entrepreneurs fail due to running out of money. There is no doubt that there is a diminishing return factor that kicks in, but it would be interesting to see how many more success stories are produced if the runway is N longer (for each increment of capital, how many more successful outcomes are there).

You'll see some cynical takes such that: well if an entrepreneur had a really great thing, they'd have no terminal money problem to begin with (just show it to a VC, insta check). That's pretty blatantly false however, as the capital equation is a whole 'nother skillset and luck/chance/network factor that goes to work for or against your efforts.
HN, Reddit, and sites alike have an extremely awkward relationship with "content mills."

They're link aggregators, so threads start from links. But nobody reads the linked articles, they only head the "headline." In other words, the headline is the title of the thread, and the comments are a discussion starting from that title.

So what is the linked content? From the user's perspective, the linked article is just another comment. Which for users somehow make sense. The "author" is just an user with a site making a comment on a topic on their own website, while the thread are users without their own websites making comments on the same topic. If a single "comment" is just somebody's opinion, then it's highly likely most "are not worth reading," including the linked article.

So why is the link necessary in first place then? It certainly doesn't feel like it's needed. You could make a social media where to start a new thread you just type the topic and that's enough. We could also have the extreme opposite: we could have a social media where you also just type the topic to start a thread, but all "comments" must be links to articles.

I wonder if there's a social media like that. It would be interesting to compare what the threads look like.
Sounds closer to the OSDev Wiki[1] than Rosettacode, but sure, that's a pretty nifty idea. I would gauge how many people are SBC collectors/hoarders before I went looking for a seed round tho. I'd guess outside of RPi's, Arduinos and a handful of other big names, there's a pretty small community that is really playing with multiple boards much less different processor archs regularly who could maximize a service like this. Most people I know focus on one or a small number of platforms, either because of budget or cognitive burden, but that's anicdata so who really knows.

I will of course suggest my obligatory pet peeve: for boards where it's applicable, indicate "can it run a stock kernel or does it rely on out-of-tree, vendor or community supplied/supported blobs" before I waste a lot of time reading further.

I'm just finishing Shaman by Kim Stanley Robinson. While he usually writes sci-fi, this one is about a group of very early humans. It is absolutely riveting, fascinating, and beautiful. I absolutely recommend this book for anyone who is curious about how early humans might have lived.
The NN's trained on huge corpus's appear to be prone to memorization as well.
Well… “use” isn’t exactly free, this the complaint. On a scale of free to not free, “cannot use this for my work” is a pretty big jump to the latter end IMO

"Less than 50% of new hires make it through probation. Staff that survive all have the same attributes: excellent sales ability and focused determination."

Sales is cut throat. They take in new people to extract all their first rate contacts (friends family). Once those are sucked out, they don't need you.
> One logical possibility would be written records of some sort, using a substrate that hasn't survived—prone to waterlogging or insects, modern paper would certainly not survive across tens of kiloyears

Sometimes impermanence is a feature, not a bug. I was always told by my elders: 'The Internet is forever'. Once you put things on it, it's hard for them to be removed. A permanent record of sorts. But over the years I've found many sites just evaporate with entire Library of Alexandria events occurring daily on the web. Yes, we have Archive.org which has mirror copies, but it doesn't catch everything.

And bit rot is useful too. After I die, I don't really want my precious data lingering around. Let it rot.
It's not about Mickey specifically, but rather about what it represents.

The entry of new works into the commons was shut down for a long time, with Disney keeping Mickey under copyright being viewed as the main driver for the lobbying that's kept it closed. We're coming off of two sequential 20-year extensions, and got our first works entering the public domain in the US in 2019, at which point there was a clear deadline for Disney to either get copyright extended again or cede the point.

So Mickey starting to creep into the public domain means the commons probably won't be closed again, since nobody else has as much interest in pushing that as Disney did.
I would think that would be industry specific, but maybe a decent standardized way of doing so would be finding the people who made it to industry titans (elite tech firms or trading firms) and left for whatever reason who then went off and did their own thing but still managed to reach a specific level of success.

And example of this is (in finance) if some team at a bank or whatever all left as a group founded a small hedge fund or prop trading fund, yet were still able to make a great return.

Other than the bullshit computerised systems behind the scenes that are the bane of creators on the platform… it’s hard to think of a more reliable website than YouTube…

I’ve heard Google employees/engineers make jokes (not entirely sure how much is a joke and how much is real) about how YouTube might be the first website back online after WW3 assuming it didn’t destroy the internet (seeing as the internet originally was designed to survive such a thing it’s not entirely far fetched to imagine global chaos and heavily degraded services but still operating in some capacity)
Sure, my complaint wasn't targeting your project but the need for it in first place. In the state of the web, this is a nice tool to do some useful things.
Yeah but the burden is now on you to sift through the garbage to find the good stuff, especially since it's mostly mixed together in recommendations or search results etc. It feels more limited to me the other way around, like yes we have added some more good stuff, but good luck finding it.

If my favorite hobby store kept on expanding and expanding and the ratio of great stuff to garbage kept going down, I would definitely perceive the overall quality as being well into some death spiral.
I'm well aware of Disney's business strategy. I don't care if they make their millions still.

I care much more about all the works that cannot find an audience because of uncertain copyright status, and not enough commercial demand to justify figuring out who 'owns' it.
This is the most insightful take. Licenses like this prevent certain businesses in certain countries, but it is quite harmful as it adds a powerful tool for propaganda/scammers/etc who don’t care about the laws.

Additionally, it only really hurts small businesses & startups as the big companies all have teams that can make their own version or pay for 3rd party apis for easily. So yeah, us startup folks won’t like this license much as it basically is aimed at us the most.

Either way, congrats with the tech. It does look very impressive!
Eating well is really, really simple - Only buy and eat things with one ingredient. Cook your own meals, then you know what is in there.

Hint: stay away from the interior of the grocery store where all the shiny bags are. You want the stuff around the edges - fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, rice, beans
I've seen some prank calls (a YouTuber cloned Tucker Carlson's voice and called Alex Jones) but he just had a sound bank with a few pre-generated lines and it fell apart pretty quickly.

At least for now there's too much lag to do a real time conversation with a cloned voice.

Speech to Text > LLM Response > Generate Audio

If that time can shrink to subsecond, I think there'll be madness. (Specifically thinking of romance scammers)
The first edition of Programming Perl had a script that did this called travesty. You can download it from https://resources.oreilly.com/examples/9780937175644

When I was learning Perl in the '90s, I remember having a lot of fun running this on different manual pages.
whats with the crypto thing?
Nonsense. The argument isn't 100% proof based tests vs yolo shipping directly to prod. Our tests are based on user actions and expected error conditions (from bad input to network errors). We don't cover the combinatorial explosion of potential inputs but we don't need 100% mathematical proof based confidence.

Tests boost the confidence from "i think the code works" with no tests to "i know this code works in these N cases." It is risk management. Could we miss an unknown percentage of potential errors? Of course. But the errors that happen become fewer and fewer as the deployment safety net grows. And we monitor bug reports, errors, and incidents over time to gauge the effectiveness.

This has allowed us to confidently ship code that has earned our company, literally, hundreds of millions of dollars and has evolved over time. I know my tests mean the software works as expected because my tests are my expectations. Maybe there is a cache bug or a memory leak or a logic bug or a misunderstood business requirement, but I _know_ that when my code deploys, standard usage of it will absolutely work. If it didn't, then a test should have failed.

I've been developing software for a couple of decades now and I have a good feel on what to test at what layer. If the argument is only "let my valued customers experience bugs and report them to me" vs tests before code release, I'm siding on tests before releasing.
I'm glad he's still doing the Lateral podcast (as that's the only thing I know him from). I do wish he would get somebody besides Youtubers as guests, though. It's frustrating to hear 20-somethings with very little cultural and historical knowledge try to work through the problems.
OK, I think the issue is that it's making about 500 HTTP requests when it starts up and some of them are timing out...

In some areas like hft it was effectively achieved with engineering. For a time… I hear it’s changed now.

The problem is in most software businesses it can be hard to objectively measure who is providing business value and who is just lots of busywork
I said they had extra incentives, not that they were always fair extra incentives.
I suspect this depends somewhat on where you live. Eg in parts of the United States it may be harder to get bread without added sugar. Bread is an example of something lots of people want but which they probably won’t be willing to make themselves in sufficient quantities. For other foods one can often switch to more basic ingredients but this could be a lot of work or a bit annoying (eg making a ketchup alternative, pasta sauces, muesli, bread rolls/buns, pre-made soup). This can be easier if you live somewhere more rich/urban where you’ll be better able to find eg a bakery or store selling non-sugary foods.

Some things are easy, eg you can not buy soda if you live in New York or if you only have a dollar general to shop for food.
That's what the -C flag is for, to make it more/less sensitive. So answer is "yes, if you use it", and this is what it looks like:

$ git blame file3 -C1
9afddd5e file3 (Izkata 2024-01-01 11:40:51 -0600 1)
9c8635a7 file2 (Izkata 2024-01-01 11:40:27 -0600 2) 4
9c8635a7 file1 (Izkata 2024-01-01 11:40:27 -0600 3) e
9afddd5e file3 (Izkata 2024-01-01 11:40:51 -0600 4)

Also fun fact, -C can be given up to 3 times:

1 - Look for the source in files modified in the same commit

2 - Look for the source in any file that existed as of that same commit

3 - Look for the source in any commit

Great for if you suspect the original committer didn't do the delete/add (move) in one commit.
> indicate "can it run a stock kernel or does it rely on out-of-tree, vendor or community supplied/supported blobs" before I waste a lot of time reading further.

Seconded. At this point, unless a client is explicitly paying (a lot) for a specific processor, custom BSPs with outdated kernels are an absolute showstopper. I won't even bother evaluating the platform any further.
Ya, this is more of the same bluster. Chinese politicians talk a lot, but you can only judge them by their actual actions. I’m not even sure why these speeches are reported on anymore, they don’t provide any new information, they just go through a bunch of ceremony.
When in high school, I returned home after a ski weekend with friends. When I returned home, my relatives, who didn't ski, asked if I fell at all during the weekend. I remarked that I had, especially while navigating some expert trails. They consoled me saying "that's OK, maybe you'll do better next time."
I was confused at first until I realized that they thought of falling as a tragic outcome instead of a natural part of the learning process.

“utopia, an ideal commonwealth whose inhabitants exist under seemingly perfect conditions.” https://www.britannica.com/topic/utopia

Suggesting any improvement is aiming for utopia is simply false. Sentencing someone to life imprisonment absolutely guarantees that you aren’t going to live in a utopia while they are alive. Therefore it isn’t aiming for utopia but an imperfect compromise. There’s no gatekeeping involved simply the actual meaning of the word.

As to your suggestion I am backtracking, I am an individual not a country. I can point to cases where my critique of other people improved myself but suggesting I changed the US is kind of silly. Abstractly, I could say my voting habits have been impacted by analyzing failures of other countries. However, having never actually changed any election outcomes such a statement is in effect meaningless.

On a tiny scale I there thousands of minor actions which I think are a net positive but I don’t know. Witnessing the repeated failures associated with exporting plastic recycling, I realized it’s better for the environment to throw plastic into the trash bin than attempting to recycle it. But, while it’s true that’s a net positive for the US and the world it isn’t a meaningful difference.

Quantum computing seems very special-case.

I wonder if it is sucking up all the oxygen in the room for “quantum” and “computing” in a sentence together. Classical computing that uses quantum effects seems more useful IMO. Quantum computing algorithms are too hard, let’s do quantum dot cellular automata instead.
Wonderful design and a lot of great details!
What you can do is "shop the perimeter" at the store. Supermarkets in the US are usually laid out where the meat, dairy, and produce sections are along the edges of the store, and the middle aisles have the prepared foods (comes in boxes, cans, etc.) The prepared foods are the ones typically loaded down with sugar and are highly processed, so only go down an aisle when there's something you really need there, like maybe a spice.
Fair enough - I see what you are saying. Sorry for my accidentaly condescending reply.

Damn, this is a video I didn't want to see today. I love Tom Scott's videos, and just about everything he's ever made has been a great watch. I still remember the VPN videos debunking common myths about them, and the one about how electronic/online voting was a bad idea.

But sadly, I get what he means here. YouTube has basically split down the middle, with the assumption being that you'll either pump out content quickly without much time to prepare, or you'll work on more infrequent essay length videos on a monthly basis or longer. And in both cases... the expectation seems to be that most videos are a professional endeavour now, created by a team of people with pro level editing skills and different people working on things like the script, research, getting the footage needed, etc.

It honestly feels like the platform isn't 'fun' anymore, and the kind of content we used to visit for is becoming less and less common by the day.

Regardless, enjoy your break/retirement Tom! You've made some incredible videos over the years, and I'll be excited to see what you create in future too.
I'm not sure I buy his reasoning there. He said that he uploads a video every week which is a brisk pace. Why not a video every month? Every quarter?

Perhaps he really just wants a break and this explanation sounded the most reasonable. But I hope he didn't get burned out because he was afraid of switching things up.
I think one of the important changes was the change of ownership from Sun to Oracle. Sun was loved, Oracle is not, but I don't believe that it affects the sentiment here.
> We were forced to use Java and then switched languages and saw the light.

Other languages will do a better job in various ways, certainly, but in my opinion Java remains a pretty good middle-of-the-road language.

If you want to go deep on high-performance computing, or functional programming, or type-safety, or low-level programming, then Java isn't going to win at any one of these. It's still broadly successful in what it's trying to achieve: a fairly fast, very portable language and virtual machine with various features to help the programmer deal with code-defects and achieve correctness, generally preferencing these (and portability) over performance where necessary. It also generally commits to backward compatibility.

There is no one language to rule them all. It's more a matter of Pareto efficiency.
It’s a fairly common sight in Joetsu, particularly for government buildings. This company shows a list of seismic retrofitting projects that it has done in Joetsu, for example:

https://www.sato-san.jp/works/list.php?cat_id=11

There are also subsidies and financing available in Niigata prefecture for seismic retrofitting wooden homes built before 1981:

https://www.pref.niigata.lg.jp/sec/jutaku/1356814927041.html

For sure though there are many homes in the area that have never been retrofitted.
Are those fifty Tom Scotts all competing with each other to become 'experts of the week' on the same topics in slightly different ways? (that's what my 5 or 6 Tom Scotts do)

I wish YouTube channels could be viable by following the Periodic Videos model - stick to a single domain but keep it fresh by improving on old content.
This affects the other end too.

Quality niche creators are partially motivated (and sometimes supported) by viewers. The bigger the sea of garbage they are swimming against, the less inclined they will be to start or continue.
And start with drinks. Drinks are by far the worst offender.
Very unlikely you’d be able to run any of the cracking tools to actually crack a local wireless network since those require raw access to the wireless NIC to capture/transmit frames as it would require root.

With rooted Android it might be possible if you can shut down anything else that might be accessing the NIC (Android’s NetworkManager equivalent) but otherwise you’re out of luck.

Thankfully insecure/broken crypto WiFi is mostly a thing of the past.

Ketchup is one of those products that are mostly sugar for no reason. Same with those processed juices. Ironically, tomato juice is usually not that sugary and I love it a lot.
Is it really on you to sort and sift, or is it on you to find a good guide? In the hobby store example, there are other people around to ask, and I think that is similar as well.

The future is more content, not less, so finding mechanisms to cope with that is well worth the effort.

It seems synonymous to those who have no idea what they're talking about, much like 'programming' is synonymous with 'hitting keys on a keyboard', or really any layman understanding of any field.
