>How did we get to the point where this is acceptable?

IMO, bad actors.

40 years ago we didn't need much in the name of cyber security, restrictions, controls, etc. You most likely personally knew the vast majority of other people that had any kind of access to your systems, or that you exchanged any kind of electronic data with.

As the aperture of users and developers has opened, risks have increased. There is probably some analogy here similar to how the value of network increases exponentially with the number of connected devices, the risk factor increases exponentially with the number of users and potential software developers for an ecosystem.
Agree!

It's a single form-over-function thing that I could not resist not to add. :)
And I'd argue that multigenerational homes makes problematic relationships much more likely. Annoyances that are easily tolerable when you meet up occasionally are massively amplified when you encounter them all the time.

I have a lot of friends that I love, but very few I would tolerate living for months with... And you can choose your friends, you can't choose your parents/kids.
> Foundation is being rewritten entirely in Swift.

That's a mult-year project in its very early stages, yet we're already almost 10 years into Swift (more than 10 years of Swift internally to Apple).

> All new code is in Swift.

False.

> All new frameworks are Swift-only.

False.
> Why are you unpublishing it in the first place? Just leave it alone and slap a deprecation notice on it.

This doesn't work if you've accidentally published sensitive information or files. Though I agree that deleting packages is generally not necessary.
> they mean most people here have coded professionally but not at home

The idea that there are devs who did not do fairly extensive home coding is so alien to me! I don't personally know a single dev like that, and it would never have occurred to me that they exist.

SML actually has a very simple, unsophisticated type system that isn't anywhere near as expressive as generics in most other languages (Java, C#, Go, etc.).

In SML, there's no way to define a generic hash table that works with any type that implements a hashing operation and uses that hash function automatically. Type parameters are entirely opaque types that you can't really do anything with. To make a generic hash table, the user has to explicitly pass in a hash function each time they create it.

In other languages, you can place a bound on the type parameter that defines what operations are supported and then the operations are found (either at runtime or monomorphization time) based on the type argument.

If you don't have bounds, lots of things get easier for the language designer. But lots of things get much more tedious for the language user. It's probably not a coincidence that every language newer than ML with parametric polymorphism has some sort of bound/trait/constraint/type class thing. But bounds are where most of the complexity comes from.

Very glad this topic is coming up more. It was the default living arrangement for the majority of human history, and still is for much of the world. Here in America, and for much of the industrialized west, the ideal of the nuclear family (non-coincidentally invented during the rise of industrialism) is quite frankly too narrow. With their deep protestant roots, Americans would do well to look at how families were organized in the Bible and see that the ideal of rugged individualism and nuclear family 2 1/2 kid white picket fence households clash with that greatly.

Critiques of the article:

Multigenerational is too narrow in this sense. It doesn't have to be explicitly in the same house. It could be the same household. It could be a commune, or a clan. I think its best if you pursue this you still have separate living quarters, but have dedicated common areas. Of course it may be the case that its not be feasible (space limitations), but it goes on to my next point, this article is trying to frame multigenerational housing as a solution to a problem, not to view it from a standpoint of the problems we are facing are because we moved away from multigenerational housing/local communities.

Secondly, must everything have to be viewed in such a utilitarian context? It's exhausting, quite frankly. Not everything has to be viewed as some scale of benefits, and if the scales are too unbalanced then it's somehow "unjust". Perhaps taking care of your mother is a noble thing to do, and yes, it will exhaust you, and yes you might not get out of it the measure of benefit as she is, at least materially.
There are some real bad actors behind IP blocks, or hosting providers that have no problem hosting them nor take actions on abuse reports. Referrer spamming, searching for vulnerabilities (some of them with very big URL list to try), misbehaving crawlers, or just plain DoS are some of the ways they may sites, specially the ones serving dynamic content. This space is usually fixed and used by servers, or VPNs exitpoits. Blocking all the blocks associated to their autonomous systems would avoid to put in the rules a lot of /24.

But then there are residential IP blocks, specially some with dynamic enough IPs or NATed ISPs. Some people of those blocks may have hostile or clueless behaviour, some may be used as proxy because malware or because they intentionally installed some of the residential proxy servers agents. There you may be blocking legitimate visitors, if a few clients of some ISP are very active you may end blocking a lot of innocent people. And, in this case too, you can target the IP blocks of its autonomous system if you feel that from there you only get bad traffic.

But in the end, is your site. you are free to decide to block what you understand that are bad neighbourhoods.

It is almost always safe to assume no one is setting out to deliberately hurt their own credibility.
Even in ideal conditions, it depends on the project, the language, the methodology, the architecture, on the stance on mocking, on the engineering philosophy used. It depends even on what a person considers a "unit test". For all I know, by "unit test" you might also mean what people call "integration test".
I don't know much about CentOS, but I've seen a lot of anger about the end of CentOS Linux, regardless of CentOS stream, Rocky, etc. . Can someone explain the history of this, why CentOS is going away, why it's being replaced with these new alternatives, and why many seem quite mad about it? Just curious to understand the state of it.
Just to let you know, that wasn't the original commentor, so it could stil involve scrpaing (which is what I expected, too).
The point is it's not a private affair. Retribution from people who react harmfully when others do not share their beliefs is a real thing, ask anyone who was brought up in a strict religious environment who became a non-believer. Sometimes the easiest path is minimal appeasement to avoid conflict where you'll end up worse off.
You await the `yieldOrContinue` function. `yieldOrContinue` returns a promise that resolves when your code should resume running. Your work will only be paused at places that you explicitly await the provided functions, so yes, you do need to explicitly give up control.

Being a "Windows" guy forever and a day, Windows 11 pushed me to give Linux gaming a serious try. For a bit over two months, I did as much gaming on Linux Mint on my Legion 5 laptop as I could. And it is really, really good. For most people, you can probably switch and be pretty happy.

But Linux headaches have not all evaporated. I had issues with font scaling, brightness controls, networking, and of course graphics card drivers. I could not get Anno 1800 to join a multiplayer game. I could not adjust brightness on my laptop. And a new release game had crashes and easily 25% of the framerate when compared to running in Windows.

Meanwhile, plenty of games ran amazing and easily on par with how they ran in Windows. The desktop experience was mostly really great, and feels snappier than Windows. But because not everything worked, I had to dual boot, and about 33% of my reboots into Linux failed and took a bunch of wrestling with version to boot into, etc. to get it back online.

Lovely article and loved the analogy of home cook to making an app. Being a professional programmer who loves programming, I never thought about programming like this. But there is a catch here, I would wager that trying cooking at home is far easier and accessible as compared to making simplest of apps. Most of the no code low-code tools are focused on helping companies make software for their use and not focused on individuals making apps for themselves.

I've released a SwiftUI app, but was a nightmarish experience. They are experimenting and changing stuff to better serve SwiftUI philosophy, like the change from Combine to Observation. There were plenty of bugs and some of them difficult to debug like previewing screens on Xcode, sometimes it keeps crashing. When it works it's marvelous. I hope they can stabilize it.
> OTOH, if you're buying a house or bought one recently, I admire your optimism, might I also interest you in a bridge?

Is this a reference to the "date the rate, marry the house" play (which is supposed to be relatively short term, on the order of 1-2 year timescales)? (I.e., the strategy of buying something you can't really afford now in the hopes of refinancing soon at an anticipated lower rate.)

Or is this a reference to longer-term demographic issues -- the "boomergeddon" thesis, that as that generation dies off there will be excess housing capacity?
> it still doesn't cover many, many aspects of that game

But I kinda love that as an idea. The text of the wiki defines the core ideas of what the game is, but a lot is left unspecified and to be interpreted.

Pokémon legends Arceus feels a lot like what someone who had only read about the franchise may create as a game, and it's a pretty awesome addition to the series.
My understanding is that since Red Hat restricted the source availability for RHEL, Rocky is using the following loopholes to gain binary compatibility with RHEL:

1. Using OCI images of RHEL (i.e. on Docker Hub)

2. Using cloud server images of RHEL

They outlined their plans for this in June of 2023[0].

Red Hat’s official stance is that downstream distros like Rocky or AlmaLinux should be basing off of CentOS Stream — that would allow all the EL distributions to contribute and use the same OS base[1]. AlmaLinux pivoted to this method[2] — which seems like a more sustainable approach to me.

My opinion: blows my mind that people who value Enterprise Linux would be willing to continue to use a distro like Rocky that actively works against/around the supported route its upstream provider suggests.

(Personally, I don’t find value in the EL ecosystem, I prefer rolling releases everywhere when possible)

Efficient LLM fine-tuning for classification on Mac
TL;DR: Reexpress makes it really easy (and inexpensive) to fine-tune a large language model (LLM) for typical document classification tasks. All of the processing happens on your Mac and you also get the indispensable additional advantages of uncertainty quantification, interpretability by example/exemplar, and semantic search capabilities.

A bit tangential but also related -- I grew up watching 'Adventures of the Gummi Bears' back in the late 80s and early 90s. Recently, I came across it on Disney+ and re-watched it. I was pleasantly surprised that some of the episodes are teaching kids good (again, subjective) morals and behaviors. The language is never crass even when the characters are upset (meaning it's a good thing to teach kids). I liked it so much that I re-watched all of the six seasons twice.

Now that I saw this article and discussion, I'll be trying Bluey next.

I follow the development of Swiftcord, A SwiftUI Discord client, on the developer's discord, and they almost constantly lambast how much is apparently missing or unstable between AppKit and the current version of SwiftUI, which has made it a struggle to get to feature parity with the official Discord client based on Electron cause lots of things you expect either have to be implemented by hand or just can't be done IIRC.
Pedantic, but this was never a tagline. This was an impromptu interview comment along the lines of meaning "this is currently the newest/latest version of windows" but worded poorly. It's not clear they ever meant for this to be construed this way as there were never any marketing materials put out to support that interview comment.

Don't get me wrong, if you get one of those when they're perfectly ripe then it may well still be a completely life changing experience. But you can also do better, and given then you're going to have them for the next 25 years, it's worth doing the extra work to get the absolute best cultivars you can rather than just buying the first ones that are in stock, even if it takes an extra year to get started.

Indeed. To elaborate...

1) Documenting things does cost, especially time. Writing good, clear, cohesive documentation is even more costly. Bad documentation can be costly by consuming the reader's time beyond what is justified.

2) Documentation often needs to be updated and therefore maintained. This is costly.

3) Failure to maintain documentation can leads to even bigger costs because of the confusion and misunderstanding outdated documentation can introduce.

4) At companies, culture is not necessarily supportive of documentation because of the immediate cost of documenting and maintaining docs. You can very well be punished for documenting things, and in doing so, may sacrifice meeting more important objectives. Even documenting things helps others in the company, if the company punishes you for it (and while perhaps rewarding others who profit from your docs), you're not being a hero or a martyr, feelings of moral superiority notwithstanding. You're being a fool. You're not doing charitable work at a company, after all.

5) "Duty" is a strong word. There is no general duty to document things. You can't just assert a duty exists by fiat, without establishing a basis for that duty. There are plenty of good things we can do, but are not duties.

You are right WebRTC doesn't give you control of this. It is on purpose though. If a webpage could push more bitrate then the link supported it would cause congestion collapse/be used for DoS attacks. You can request resolution/bitrate, but it will be best effort.

Back in the days when LCD computer monitors were ridiculously expensive for a 15" monitor, I was at a customer in NYC where they had hundreds rather than the standard 'tv' style monitor of the time. Turns out, they had moved to a new location too near the subway system - and every time the train went by, it would mess with the old displays. Apparently whatever savings they got from the change in location was gobbled up by needing that cutting edge hardware.
So the only thing that was "off" was that a penalty has yet to be assessed. Everything else holds up pretty darn well.
