The world "founders" live in is so foreign to me, I barely understand the words. It's useful to read this stuff once in a while, though, as a reminder that when a mega tech company with billions in profits lays off tens of thousands of people, the ones at the top are not even on the same planet, in terms of their values and they way they think about the world, as me and everyone I know.
I think its undertalked about because platforms regulate that pretty well. If only because adverts would absolutely hate being associated with any of that. Meanwhile, sexuality is much more ephemeral and easier to slip in.

most companies care about making money, so there's a lot more focus on how it can streamline the workflow/replace labor. Not as much business on how to use it as an auto-moderator.
Startup founders need to lead their investors to understand that the company is not going to deliver what everyone hoped it would. Whether the points in the article will work to convince them is obviously very dependent on the investors, but if the founder wants to go back to those same investors with a new company idea in the future it's essential that they get everyone on the same page.

More generally, anyone who promises delivery in the future has to manage the expectations of those who they are delivering to. If you tell your boss "I'll have it on your desk first thing in the morning" and then you don't deliver, your boss certainly will think twice the next time you say it.

Edit: I see a lot of comments here are about whether it's "worth it" to an individual to keep going with some individual effort that doesn't seem to be paying off, as if everything that a person does is in isolation and has no ramifications on others, which is absolutely not the case when you found a startup. If you're a startup founder you have responsibility not only to yourself but to customers, investors and employees and you should do your best to "do right by" everyone as best as the circumstances allow. Reasonable people will see that you've done the best you can given the circumstances.

I wonder if we can use transformer models to render text in a compressed form, not human-readable, but which allows other LLMs downstream to work more efficiently on the compressed data. The compression can be lossy or fuzzy and it's OK in this case.
Hmmm, I wouldn't say this is everywhere. There are tools that aren't metrics-based don't charge based on attributes and/or their cardinality. I'm avoiding shilling the place I work for since some of the messaging around "observability 1.0 vs. 2.0" comes from us, but that's kind of the gist of it.

If an attribute is important for debugging something later you shouldn't have to pay 100x the cost to be able to use it. Unfortunately, when you're using a "1.0" type tool such as CloudWatch or DD Metrics you end up needing to guess the economic cost of data you include and measure it against perceived economic value later down the line, which is a terrible experience.

(Switching observability tools is no joke though, so I won't say "just switch tools!" -- if the current pains are high it may be worth it, but there's no simple way to switch that I've seen)
None of these are sold anymore in the country where I live. They are all optical nowadays.

I love my LG washer/dryer combo. Yes, it takes a bit longer, but it's half the work from my point of view.

I only load and unload clothes once (not twice).

I only program a machine once (not twice).

One big feature my LG has is it will keep rotating the drum a half a turn every few minutes, so you can take the dry, clean clothes out much, much later, and they will not be wrinkled.

As others have said, if you're limited on space in your house it's a bonus. In my case I converted the space that would have been taken up by a second unit stacked vertically into large storage area with shelves.

I worked with a guy who was crazy rich and wanted to build a great stereo. He went to a super high-end stereo shop and persuaded them to lend him a bunch of different speaker cables to "try out in his apartment". He was a phd engineer though, so rather than just listening to them he decided to do an experiment. He got some thick pure copper wire as a reference (got it from a hardware store because it's used to wire up domestic ovens and that kind of thing) and took his oscilloscope and measured the frequency response across all the cables. He found (as he expected) that the pure copper cable gave the best response so that's what he used to wire up his speakers. He did measure the acoustics in the room and put his speakers on metal pins on concrete blocks[1] to minimize mechanical interface between the speakers and the floor so the floor wouldn't clamp the bottom of the speakers.

His stereo sounded great and he was super smug about it, including taking the super expensive audiophile cables back and telling the shop they weren't as good as plain thick copper wire.

Mine is from the much lower-spec (and appropriately cheaper) ZenBook DUO range. The battery life is pretty darn good until I plug in the external screen, and still better than many laptops even then. It isn't often I'm away from a power socket for and needing to work, but when I am, it can be for a fair few hours.

As someone who lives in Calgary, a few random points:

This is normal weather for us for a week or so every year. Some years we have longer snaps. Some years we have shorter snaps. When things get this cold, everything has a hard time functioning, including but not limited to infrastructure, people, vehicles and utilities.

The electricity infrastructure in the province is poorly maintained and managed by the government and corporations that manage it. We have failed to invest in infrastructure that can handle both peak summer and winter loads.

We received an emergency alert yesterday night describing how the grid was nearly at capacity. I wouldn't be surprised if we got another one today. The reason appears to be that both wind and gas generation are offline due to cold. Pool prices for electricity spiked to $1000/MWh (!).

Electric vehicles would destroy the current grid because it's not even managed well enough to handle a barely electrified fleet of civilian vehicles. There's an argument that the EVs could act as a battery for the grid, but that would require significant technology investment that the province is not managed well enough to implement.

There will still be arctic outflows even if the planet is warming up. Our winters will continue to suck despite the average global temps rising.

Short story: the province is very cold, very badly managed, and there is not much anyone can do about it.
Where I have the most trouble is usually going from recursive to iterative. It's pretty easy for me to understand the recursive + memoization, but when that ends up being taken off the table due to various inefficiencies of recursion I often get a little stuck.
> Doesn’t treat his room.

From the article, it sounds like he did have some room treatment:

> In the 1980s, Fritz launched his project by blowing up the living room into a listening room, a 1,650-square-foot bump-out based on the same shoe box ratio, just under 2 to 1, that worked magic in concert halls from the Musikverein in Vienna to the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. The idea was that the acoustic waves would similarly roll off Fritz’s long, cement-filled walls and 17-foot-high, wood-paneled ceiling to bathe the listener in music.

> He got his older son, Kurt, to help pour the concrete floors. Then he worked alongside a construction crew to put up the 12-inch-thick walls and the sound panels to line them.

Yeah that was basically my thought that perhaps they need a dogfighter, a long range bomber, some kind of thing like an A-10 or C-130 gunship.

Not sure if Ukraine is showing us that some of those are now useless or not.

It must be difficult to design something like the JSF that has to have a vertical takeoff version and all this other junk to make 4 branches of the military happy. Part of me thinks that having two different planes would have made more sense and lifted a lot of design constraints.

Pay attention and stop emitting carbon. This is an opportunity to push a paradigm shift of accessible and clean energy, able to be produced just about anywhere, instead of having to go to great lengths to extract it and combust it. I welcome the developing world’s increasing appetite for electricity, let’s get it done in a way that enhances human life, instead of forcing mass migrations and, more likely, death sentences to people who are unfortunate enough to live in countries that will one day be inhospitable to people.
Yes, that’s ehh not what I intended, really.

Citadel has a lower bar of “no slower than Calibre” but I expect it to be MUCH faster. For example — Calibre takes 8s to start up on my laptop. Citadel is nearly instant. I’d like to keep it that way!
> pay attention and do what exactly.

Pressure politicians to at least

- improve local climate. Cities experience more extreme temperatures, especially in summer, than rural areas do because of many cities lacking tree shade, especially (as usual...) in poor neighborhoods [1]. How this can be done? Get rid of parking strips alongside streets, plant trees there, and build out public transport such as buses, trams or subways to replace individual transportation.

- help the local flora that does exist to become resilient - replace dying treets and bushes that can't cope with climate change with more resilient species, ban "mandatory mowing / watering / species of grass" clauses in HOAs (and enforce severe fines against anyone caught violating or pressuring HOA members to violate)

- improve local emissions. Fossil cars still emit lots of NOx that are (among other effects) lung irritants [2], and all cars and trucks produce brake and tire dust that are both lung irritants and contribute to the microplastic problem. Again, the solution is to build out public transport, to ban entire classes of cars and to take care to provide housing that is near to employers to reduce the amount of miles traveled in the first place.

- improve (or create!) "safe havens" for the community at large to mitigate the impact of climate change especially for the poorest and the elderly, like public "heat/cold rooms" for either winter or summer. Not everyone can afford installing or running AC systems or is allowed to install one in their first place, or the landlord doesn't care.

- improve cities' water handling aka "sponge cities" to mitigate the effects of severe rain and snowfall events - basically, create local paths where water can pass through to become groundwater instead of overflowing storm drains and wastewater treatment plants

All of this is basic stuff that will greatly improve the lives of residents in general and help become society at least able to adapt to climate change and its associated events, and in many cases does not require approval from higher-up authorities. Hell, a lot of it can even be done by (literal) grass-roots activists banding together.

Yes, and just because it's impossible ethically to construct a study showing one way or the other doesn't mean that it doesn't.

> D went from a language that I remember back in 2015 was often promoted on places like reddit and here as a fresh alternative to C++ that was constantly evolving

I wrote a blog post in 2012 about D [1]. In my personal experience, the high point of D was around 2008-2009. It was already declining in popularity in 2012, IMHO, due to intense clashes within the D community and the rise of Go, Rust and C++11 outside the community. D remains one of my favorite languages but I agree with you that Rust, Nim or Zig is the better choice for most programmers today.

Not when you’re competing with belters growing truck sized GMO bananas in massive inflatable aeroponic spheres with 24 hours of lensed daylight and a robotic workforce that only needs tiny motors and propellors to move around. Not to mention the savings on freeze drying and sterilizing the crops before transit, they aren’t selling the water back at those prices!
We live in a closed system, excluding energy from the sun. Our ability to reach outside this planet's system is extremely limited, as no NEO station is independent.

Same here. I know that a fair bit of the data they have on me is inaccurate. Yet, to delete that, along with accurate data, I’m being asked to enrich their data with even more accurate data. It feels like the old “click here to unsubscribe” scam that actually just confirms a real person behind an email.

I would love to know who sold them my data though. That would allow me to stop the flow more effectively before I felt okay deleting at the terminal data broker.

Saying it’s okay to quit when you have less than $1M ARR also means that you’re leaving your customers hanging out to dry. $1M means 100 customers paying $10k/yr which is a significant amount of money. If your plan is to dump them like that they should at least be warned when they sign up that could happen otherwise I think that’s unethical.
Where I grew up, mandatory military service was required, and not just for a few months but rather years.

I've seen people who quit and people, like me, who clinched their teeth and got through the whole ordeal. I myself at the time considered whether I should quit and stop wasting my precious time. I decided against, because in that society not having completed military service would be a social stain impossible to erase.

More importantly, quitting would change the way I view and value myself. I wanted to see myself as someone who performed their fair share of service back to society, and not a parasite. With the mindset I had back then, quitting would have changed my self view, and at least temporarily lost my sense of integrity. I would be a very different person today.

Looking around my social group, I might be biased but those that chose to quit military service more often than not drifted into the sidelines in terms of career, social integration, and other aspects. Of course some are absolutely fine. I can't say if that's merely correlation or actual causality, but I'm content with my loss of years spent doing something I wasn't really enjoying.
It's quite unlikely to happen for the same reason it hasn't happened for the last century. It's militarily hard to do because you'd have to land tens of thousands of troops and it's hard to get them over the sea.

The last waterborne invasion of that kind of scale was D-Day and if anything things would be tricker now that anti ship missiles are rather effective.

I mean the communists have wanted to take over Taiwan since 1949 when they took over the rest of China but the sea remains a barrier. It's quite possible that rather than Taiwan falling to the commies, it will be the mainland that gets taken over by democracy.
While I don’t know Haskell or GHC, that sounds like a bug in the runtime.

My understanding:

- Deadlock detection is a feature some language runtimes can provide.

- To my knowledge there’s no reasonable path of recovery from within the process (broad sense of the term) itself.

- If you have process isolation then a parent or supervisor can kill and respawn. (Is this what Erlang does?)

- Deadlocks are only theoretically detectable in the cases where the runtime can trace the “path” to something it knows about. This may include runtime objects like channels and mutices, but certainly does not include IO etc. For example: program is currently waiting on a tcp socket with no timeout.

- As such, deadlock detection is at most moderately useful for typical application debugging and development workflows.

Personally I would much rather have easy access to a “what are processes currently blocked on” list than “the runtime is so smart it will error out automagically” kind of thing.
