I used Upstart a lot but it did less and had various unfixed bugs whose failure mode was becoming unmanageable. I give Ubuntu credit for starting it but was reminded of jwz’s CADT rant periodically until we upgraded to a release which used systemd instead.

> but seriously; when does this sort of thing fall within the Anti Trust law scopes?

Antitrust law ends up being pretty subjective, and more relies on demonstrated market harm and remediation than specific abuses. This sort of behavior is frustrating, but probably doesn't fall under the purview of antitrust concern. Maybe give Apple a friendly email suggesting that you'll reach out to the Better Business Bureau next, and see how fast the customer service rep calls you back. Just a thought.
> I am afraid of sharing though and getting negative feedback. Was that something that you pushed through when starting?

Yes, that can be a bit scary. It can be difficult to take criticism, depending on how you handle it. I know that if I submitted a post to HN and everyone was hating on it, I'd feel awful, but only because I have a lot of respect for this community's opinions. If it was a random person? Who cares.

But it's so good being able to get your thoughts out. And I don't mean just how it benefits your career, but also in personal terms. You'll meet great people who share your interests, and when someone meets you, they'll see a ton of interesting stuff about you.

That's how I feel when I look at someone's blog.

I'll also echo sph's warning not to add a comments section. But don't be afraid to publish.

> Did starting a blog lead to a new job?

Even better, I met my co-founder and got VC investment because of one of my blog posts (which got picked up and mentioned by a16z).
Ohh the more you write the more inspiring it gets. You cleared my thoughts towards what to do, I'll act on it. I checked you website and OSS work, really good stuff
The key with these things is something can be BOTH pilot error AND manufacturing design defect.

The MAX itself is an example of this. Both famous crashes definitely were pilot error AND were a bad design allowing that pilot error to occur.

Ok, so you leave your current job, work for a couple of years fulfilling your side of the contract and then - on a whim - maybe:

They don't like your political views?
The color of your hair?
The way you walk?
Or they want to hire one of their relatives/friends

They fire you.

That's completely fine in your world?
huh, something (maybe similarity to VisiCalc name) had me dismissing it as commercial software
No need to go half way: It IS sleazy. The gym utility should be mental: encouraging you to go. But it's the incentive again: the gym owner feels they must squeeze money from any patron they get - and that includes not encouraging them to come. Making the gym more like home and a welcoming place means fewer memberships can be sold. Bad incentives all around.

And so for me the answer has been to work out at home. Finding a routine that requires little equipment and doing THAT right.
Of course it always depends on the context. But my point still stands: a software developer is someone specialising in creating and maintaining code for an application. Any domain knowledge they may need for a particular application doesn’t matter here; their core skill set is software, whereas a scientists core skill set is active research.

Just because some scientific disciplines require extensive programming doesn’t make those scientists good software engineers: Producing an algorithm is different from generating revenue from it.
Leave the service dead, or just kill -9 the process.

"service didn't start, oh well"

"service didn't stop, force killing it"

Is just fine.

It's my responsibility to ensure the service is operating correctly, not all-for-one systemd. Redhat bloatware dictating how Linux should be.

I am aware that I can change the timeout of retries, but that's documentation overhead.

What I heard and I'm not sure how much truth is in it -- but it's fun gossip so enjoy -- is that upstart needed some work done, and Poettering went off for 6 months and came back with a replacement (instead of a fixed upstart). If anyone knows the full/real story of systemd origin I'd be curious
Ho man, do you think that actually is how society works?

The reason religious groups tend to be so anti-gay (and in many prominent cases anti-birth control, anti-prostitution, pro-‘getting married and having kids’), is because those absolutely do directly correlate with increasing population and pro-social control of the population.

At least in an environment where how many soldiers you can field and how well you can direct your population to do what society wants (as compared to what the individuals want) matters. Which is pretty much all of history, with some very rare and historically ephemeral exceptions.

Most of the world still operates this way, and we’ll likely go back to operating this way in a generation or three anyway. It’s pretty fundamental to our biology and at least historic human social dynamics and economics.
From what I understand, most pilots generally consider the famous MAX crashes to be “bad pilot crashes” and, of course, all pilots know they’re not bad pilots.
> GDDR is "special" because it's far closer to the GPU die.

LPDDR is always at least as close to the processor, and is often in-package so significantly closer. HBM is always in-package.

But all of that is a red herring, because the distance is only loosely correlated with performance and is a completely irrelevant metric if you've already accounted for bus width and clock rate.
That information is contained in the article; he has a contract and union representation.
If your data is big you may be amazed at how expensive string parsing can be. You can do a lot of FLOPS in the time it takes to serialize and deserialize a large matrix to ASCII for instance.
Should an employer be free to enter into a contract with a union where they agree to waive some of their firing rights?
I only really fly Delta and they don’t have any MAX aircraft, so that makes things easy. The majority of Delta flights I’ve been on are Airbus aircraft. I’ve only flown on one Boeing (737-800) in the past two years and that was from a non-hub Delta airport.
Not when they have a contract saying otherwise, which they do in this case according to the article.
That could also result from it simply being the most flown plane.

The UK government, as well as others, is currently funding research into the ecology of the target areas and the impacts of mining (https://blogs.noc.ac.uk/blogs/SMARTEX)

I'm not sure it will be 'hidden' (the research projects are not going away) so much as yet another case of competing interests within governments, where the environment gets sidelined for the sake of an hypothetical future magic money tree.
> how do you go

Well that's the thing... You don't. It's a very passive approach if you are actively looking for a job.

Posting solutions to interesting challenges you come across has a lot of potential getting asked to interview for jobs that solve similar problems. A generic article about "top 5 Gen AI projects" will be fruitless, but a post about how you practically "abused ramfs to make database tests 5x faster" might be.
That is a chapter in a book

> What is interesting is that the AI “ethicists” all want to serve as a high priesthood controlling access to ML models in the name of safety. However, I think the biggest danger from AI is that these models will be used by those who control the models to control and censor what people are allowed to write.

Who says that this is not an (or even the) actual hidden agenda behind these insane AI investments: building an infrastructure for large-scale censorship?
Hey chaz! Currently not an option, and as I write that out, you're right that it should be an option.

Even if it was something like "/api/read?key=getOnlyThisKey" which returns your value or perhaps a 404 or maybe a 204, implying your response was succesful, but there was no key with the specified requested key.
> I am trying to discourage people publishing...

A common motivating concept for decentralized is no authoritarian oversight to deplatform you.

You're seeking editorial influence (control) from the start.

Setting aside what users want versus what you want, as a platform technology you need to be careful here.

You way want to brush up on the safe harbor laws for Internet infrastructure/pipes/hosting firms and technologies versus the lack of safe harbor for platforms with desire or ability to exercise editorial influence or control on a user or content basis.

You can navigate this, by having reasons such as "I'm not editing, but by associating users with a non-anonymous identity they will self moderate", as you've noted. You can, with such reasons, still have a bit of cake after eating it. But be careful not to veer into actual editorial control unless you're prepared for full liability.
I added a simple rate limit last night, thanks for your suggestion! :)
> I can't say why the scientists aren't flocking to Nim, but as someone who wants to support them wherever they go, it's why I'm uncertain if it was the right call.

Because most scientists are only using programming as a tool and don't care one bit about it beyond what they need it to do. They don't go looking for new tools all the time, they just ask their supervisor or colleague and then by default/network effects you get Python, Fortran, or C"++". You need a killer argument to convince them to do anything new. To most of them suggesting a new language is like suggesting to use a hammer of a different color to a smith - pointless. With enough time and effort you can certainly convince people, but even then it's hard. It took me years to convince even just one person to use matplotlib instead of gnuplot when I was working in academia. You can obviously put that on my lack of social skills, but still.
Don't want s6 as it brings with it a binary configuration database (Windows registry). systemd at least has text files for config.
This topic has been studied extensively. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_cognition#S... for a summary.
I think tracking the "how" of a change can help with review. Currently I see 40 lines deleted in this file and 40 added in another. If this was a "cut and paste" then I may not need to review the code as deeply as it's not new, but I'd focus on if it works in the new location.
There isn't a proper universal solution unfortunately apart from looking for 3rd-party-libs which provide better abstractions over the underlying OS APIs (or writing those yourself).

> and then assumed R&D, assembly, testing, distribution, software development, and support all cost $0.

That's literally what BOM means: bill of materials. It's not supposed to include any of those other costs. BOM is not always the right kind of cost to be talking about, but in a case like this where you're talking about just swapping out the memory on an existing product, BOM accounts for all the costs that change significantly.
In my country, we have decided that there are some reasons that employers can't fire people for any reason, and that we have protected groups. For example, my employer can't fire me because of my religion or my skin color and I approve of that. I tend to think the other protected categories are good too. I'm pretty okay with making discrimination illegal.
Same deal in Brendan Eich’s short term as Mozilla’s CEO: the way he was ousted was grossly unreasonable, except that the furore and media circus had compromised his ability to be an effective leader—and so he resigned (voluntarily, according to all parties involved).

If you hire someone as a personality (e.g. radio reporter, CEO) their actions at all times clearly affect you. No perfect solution will exist.
As someone who has had a blog for almost 10 years, with varying amounts of attention put towards it, this is what I can tell you.

- You're probably overthinking starting it. Just sign up for a blogging service, don't try to set up your own thing unless you're going to use that experience and write about it. I have had a blog in plain html/css, a PHP-backed one, a self-hosted Ghost, a self-hosted Wordpress, and ultimately, I settled on not self-hosting a Ghost instance and it has been the best way to write because paying $9/mo is a lot easier for me than to update deps or manage bugs when I'm trying to write about something on my mind.

- Don't worry about the negative feedback. If or when someone leaves negative feedback, this is your blog, delete it. It's the easiest way to get rid of it. Some people just have negative attitudes, don't let them bring you down too.

- And another comment on feedback, most people will take time to leave feedback that's positive or encouraging because they want you to keep writing.

- Write for yourself, like get someone off your chest, think through things in your head, don't let the wider internet audience be the judge of what you should be thinking about or writing about. It will help you grow as a writer and hopefully as a person too.

If you see this, I hope you go out there and start writing.

This surprised me because I have a similar attitude.

The one exception is I do read some fiction, but even then it’s rarely by living authors. Inherently, contemporary fiction has the same transient problem that the news does. So by and large I only read fiction by dead authors. If it’s still in print years / decades / centuries later (and people are still talking about it) there’s a much higher probability that it’s good (assuming it’s to my taste).

Reading for pleasure is one of the great joys of life. It’s a far more intense multimedia experience than, say, watching a movie. My only real problem is that I have to use a timer to force me to stop.

Between major population centers, I believe it already beats driving by a long shot... I personally don't think it has to be faster: as long as I can work in the train, it's fine if it takes 90min instead of 75.

> It’s like saying that a scientist doesn’t need to know how to write, and they should just pair up with ghostwriters/copywriters.

And I'd say that illustrates my point even better! A scientist needs to know how to write a paper, but that doesn’t make them a great author. When they aim to write a book, they should get help from a professional publisher. Both tasks require writing text, but a book is very different from a paper and requires heaps of additional training and knowledge that scientists usually don’t need to have.
Well, "Amateur following tutorial games HF leaderboard to become the #1 model" seems just as impressive to me.
Many years ago, at the end of a fifty mile race, I collected my bag and went to the locker room. When I got in, I guy was leaning against the wall, with the showerhead kind of over his shoulder (this was a junior high school). I undressed very slowly, for I was quite sore from the run. I took what I thought was a long shower, and then dressed very slowly and packed my stuff the same way. As I left the locker room, the guy was still leaning against the wall with water running over him. I didn't blame him.
Find one quite close to an airport.

From my experience as a small plane pilot, radio comms is almost always quite clear. The antennas and radios are aimed “at the planes” not at receivers on the ground, after all.
> LinkedIn still works perfectly fine to store your resume and talk to recruiters

Right, but this is not so much the social network aspect of LinkedIn.

I don't want to ignore the feed cause there's always been useful stuff in it. Like links to interesting blog posts, new model/paper/repo announcements, etc. It's just that there's a lot of other crap as well, like marketing posts, which are annoying but at least make sense given the professional audience on the platform. I'm specifically asking about the rest - posts about politics, personal life updates, etc.
I had a friend in school back in nowhere whose family for some reason resembled this, without the money or in any way being a captain of industry as they say. He in no way made enough money to household help, or even to fully support the families lifestyle as the wife did do some part time work.

It was one of the weirdest experiences being there and the mom was super prepping everything for The DAD arrival, down to having prepared him a completely separate meal of different food to be consumed on his own later. It was clear that whatever she cooked for him was better, and off limits, to her, kids, and me as a guest.

Was super weird. One of those moments where you suspect decent odds the dad was a wife beater.

Russia is also technically in Europe but a lot of Westerners don't consider Russians Europeans. So I see no reason why continental Europeans could't consider the British as non-Europeans. In fact, there are plenty of Western Europeans that don't even consider Eastern Europe as 'real' Europe.

Agree, it seems to assume that the unit of mobility is something larger, like a car. When the fundamental unit of human mobility is just that, a human, since they are inherently mobile. We would do better to describe cars as macro mobility than scooters and bikes as micro. Pipe dream, I know.
Extortion offers a choice as well.
I resonate with the top comment on Tildes that suggests we need a singular conglomerate to cover all media types. We actually had one from China, douban.com, but the situation of censorship there makes it unusable. There are also a few new alternatives, such as nicedb.org and its fork, neodb.social, but I find them somehow lacking.
Maybe the reporter should have asked "do you mean a European sized fridge or American?". Obviously if it was a European fridge size hole I wouldn't have even bothered putting on my seat belt on. Heck, why didn't they just fly on to California if it was only European sized?!

My mom said my website was fantastic. Other than her I doubt anyone has ever seen it and that is fine.
There are plenty of ‘good’ reasons to persecute people for making choices like this - like for instance if someone themselves was forced to pretend they weren’t gay, hates themselves and society for it, and is pissed off that someone else might not be forced to do the same.

Or at least that’s what I’ve noticed seems to happen sometimes.

If society feels it’s important that everyone ‘follows the plan’, those folks will be recruited into places of power and give atta-boys every time they make the news, no?

And considering how much (often scary and unfun) work it is to raise kids, and how hard it is to deal with the opposite sex (for both sides), a large portion of the population will happily tell society to go fuck itself and party unless someone like that ‘holds the line’.

Hard for society to grow and be strong when it’s easy to ‘dodge the draft’, as it were.
