American Society has been having this conversation for over a hundred years.

It's amazing how long racist nonsense can sustain itself in a culture once it gets started.
I'm feeling neutral.

I like the expression "changing the game" because it suggests neither improving nor worsening the situation. It just changes the rules. Well, AI changes the game. It will be wild.

Locally, in Berlin, things will get worse. In Germany too. Too many problems went ignored for too long, too many investments were delayed. It feels like services will noticeably degrade for all residents.

Personally, things just keep getting better. I get a growing sense of mastery about life in general. I feared aging but now feel its sweeter side.

The world? Some parts will get better and others will get worse. I haven't seen enough of it to judge. I just know that one place's dark age is another's enlightenment.
Are some of those times where the plug converts to a door mid-flight?
It’s already being used to upscale Star Trek and Babylon 5.

In 10-15 years, hopefully we can just input this script as a prompt, and get a full film in the style of David Lynch.
Swift does run on other platforms. Though I don't know how it does on Windows.

Metal on Windows would not help much because the GPU hardware is what's different.
1000km is pretty good, but there are some caveats. There are still major technical hurdles, such as the problem of burning batteries. They will not have the mass budget to protect the battery as well as they do now. What can only be dangerous for cars in tunnels is deadly for an aircraft. It is well known that burning planes do not fly for long.

The wings and propellers suggest that the plane will be slower, well outside the transonic range. The study on the startup's website says they will fly at Mach 0.6 or about 650km/h.

At this speed, the fastest commercial trains are faster for the first 1100km. That's a problem if your plane can only go 1000km. You will have to compete directly with trains, which will definitely be cheaper to run.

Electric planes still have a place. Trains have high upfront costs, cannot realistically be built everywhere, and are unpopular in North America. In other parts of the world, however, with functioning long-distance public transport, this aircraft will have a hard time. It will be interesting to see what aircraft technology will be able to establish itself in the future.
Maybe they have a hard time finding a software dev job, they seem to be self taught. Or perhaps just maximizing the process as in applying wherever possible.

I might borrow this, thanks. Things don't have to be perfect to provide utility!
More likely the model has a system prompt authoritatively saying what "now" is, and it can reason about other times specified in other resources in the training set because those resources specified their own time reference.

So even though a training resource said "It is DATE today. An IMPORTANT THING happened.", it knows that IMPORTANT THING happened in the past, because it knows CURRENT DATE from the system prompt, and it also knows that DATE < CURRENT DATE.

The trick is to ignore the people recommending the Dragon Book. It makes everything sound unnecessarily complicated and will scare you off.
Nobody does in tech. The parent comment got it wrong.
As others have commented, it would be relatively simple for airports to deploy ANPR[0] to detect cars picking up passengers at the curb more frequently than an average person would be expected to, at which point they have the usual trespassing remedies at their disposal.

Given the various claims set forth in the discussion, one thing that would be very useful would be a map of what's written in what language. From what languages are used in Apple's desptop apps, iOS, watchOS apps etc to what is used in those pesky macOS daemons. You know, the one where a new daemon decides to blow up every release and consume enormous amounts of CPU.

One thing that has always puzzled me is the low quality of a lot of Apple software. Here are some things that tend to happen over and over:

- Desktop applications that block the UI thread and present spinning ball of fail

- OS daemons that consume far more CPU than they should and often get stuck in a state where they consume lots of CPU

- Slow downloads and ultra slow "checking for update" type scenarios

It wouldn't hurt Apple to focus on quality for a couple of years. Both to rewrite a lot of software that doesn't quite perform as it should, as well as laying down some plan for long term quality enhancement.

The stuff that is written in C/C++ and possibly Objective-C today should perhaps be written in Rust. Rust is a pain in the ass to program in, but I do think it is worth it for system software just because it affects so many people when stuff fails. And I suspect a lot of Objective-C code could also be replaced with Swift.
Aren’t these only available on Android, though (i.e. not on Home speakers)?

Can you expand? I've read and watched, but don't recall anything similar. I watched the movie first, could be why.
I'm building a bank comparison tool for people moving to Germany. The current tools are in German and don't serve the specific needs of immigrants, namely the ability to open an account at all with their available documents.

I have a few other projects lined up, all in support of the website I run for a living. I love making small tools to enhance text documentation, and I wish I had more time to devote to that.

Rough estimate based on experience +/- 2 C at best.

This was originally from Twitter, but i haven't seen any informed technical discussion on the topic.

If the original reporter could grab a packet capture this would be solvable instead of a bunch of speculation.

Although in the typical home setup with a combo modem/router and a WiFi washing machine that isn't easy to setup a packet capture.

I have a second wifi AP and a semi smart switch that i think can run a span port which i could rig to do the job, but most people don't.
Yeah but how many football fields? ;)
Back in the day, I wrote a tool which used to display server list with active players and their scores so you could hop on a server when you see a friend is on. This was before steam existed (no such feature was available at the time).

While writing this tool, I sent a bad packet to a server I was testing with, and the server went down. I still have the source code (wrote it in delphi), I wonder if this thing can still crash servers, given that decade-old bugs exist :D
Show HN: What is signmeonly.io?

A big portion of the limited discovery of available commands is deliberate so as not to limit what you might ask it to do, which can be used as input for future capabilities.
The TC is just as tied to the level as the salary is. If someone wants to pay you much more, they'd make you a different level.

If the purpose of quirky code isn't immediately clear from the context (and if the code can't easily be reworked to make it cleaner), it's a good candidate for commenting.
So SFO is recovering 3.5% of its annual budget from rideshare apps. Given the absolute massive amount of traffic flow, that seems perfectly reasonable to me. The last two times I drove into SFO the two lanes into the central parking garage were blocked by rideshare traffic. Maybe the rates should be higher.

Especially if the waiting pool is still overflowing the cellphone lot like it was a few years ago. I haven't gone back there, I time my trips to avoid it now because it was worse than pulling over onto the shoulder on 101 to wait.

(What's really a travesty is the surcharge you pay to take BART from Millbrae to SFO. It's $5.20 per person, rather than per group/vehicle).
Which Jobs Have a Future?
Agree with the general idea if your post but...

> Education has almost zero reflection on your ability as a developer.

Can we stop using the word "education" as a propaganda word like this?

When people use the word like this, what they really mean is "institutionalized education and/or indoctrination."
Cool! Usually talanted people hang out in some network they have, this is a cool idea I think.
Depends how deep they go on the root cause analysis. If the manufacturing flaw was in turn caused by management flaws, then yes, that’s an underlying issue that has the potential to taint everything above it.

How do you like Send and is it still maintained?

I also use Nextcloud but use the Floccus browser extension to sync bookmarks to Nextcloud. Works well when it works.
It‘s a fringe idea put forward by a German cryptocurrency (of course), and loosely based on some old result by Knuth.

So no, some people really clamor for all of us to switch to ternary logic.
Or they just adapt their policies to the real world. It is easier to be theoretical pacifist if basically nothing happens. But last 2 years are a shitshow and the Western world has been forcefully reminded about the fact that military might actually serves some positive purpose, too.
£1000/day is still “just” around £250K/year, and at this daily rate you won’t have it easy as a contractor. Highly paid gigs are not as plentiful, are normally shorter, and require very active search and sales work. You always need to find your next similar consulting gig quickly once your current one is over — every day of downtime or non-billable work between gigs costs you £1000!

In short, parent comment got it wrong, tech in London doesn’t pay you £300-400K/year.

"That is just the usual ~40 persons we fire a normal month in the sale org"
(And I don't speak the one we usually fire in other departments).

"3 months including onboarding is enough to judge people performance". We don't care about holidays despite common sense...
YYYY-MM-DD is the international standard more of us should use.
Sure, but what does the number e rounded up to 3 have to do with it?
Thinking that C++ "optimizes to better code" or that compiling to faster bigger code is even the right thing to do is the mark of an app developer.

This is not relevant to system programming. It's actually anti-relevant, as your #1 job is to be small and stay out of the way of the app code. And your #0 job is to not crash or have security holes.
Here we go again....millions of dollars in engineering time and effort goes down the drain.
Same. Donated $500.
Not as a base salary, no. They would have a performance bonus (you’ll keep a percentage of your trading income done via firm), but even then making £300-400K/year is… challenging

I think it's odd to say Apple doesn't care about legacy codebases in the same post you mention AppKit. That's 30 years-ish old.
Nothing is preventing a system from sending you a un-deserializable message disguised as a protobuf, just like with any other encoding. In these cases, you need to diagnose the issue, no? Having something human-readable is simply straightforward.

If you haven't needed to do this, perhaps you aren't working on big enough systems? I've primarily needed to do this when dealing with hundreds of millions of disparate clients, not so much on smaller systems.
I often see these processes described as passive economic mechanisms that we are subjected to and not as decisions that we all make collectively and actively accept, making excuses based on the neoliberal understanding of our time as to why those people deserve to have their jobs made redundant and their livings wrenched from them.

To me, it's a kind of cowardice that people like you shrug your shoulders at and sigh and say "that's just the way things are". You can say that's just how the markets work. I don't have to respect you for it.
The ones where the buyer/person demands to interact with another person.
I don't understand why do developers provide hosted version for free? That too when you are short of cash. You have already provided opensource sw, whoever wants to use it can selfhost and bear the infrastructure costs. You can also provide paid version of it for people who don't want to self host. If you do want to subsidize have some other source of income. IT almost feels like self-inflicted pain.
No need to keep Mojave to run iTunes — iTunes can be run on newer macOS, by using Retroactive [1] to patch it.

Regarding running a newer macOS on older hardware, check out OCLP [1] — do make sure you make full backups and have a working recovery plan before trying anything with OCLP though. I know that might sound somewhat obvious to a lot of folk, but you'd be surprised at the amount of folk that jump in and try OCLP on their main system without any backup plan.

Note that are some gotchas re installing OCLP on some older h/w, and it will help to read up on possible issues before wading in. e.g. during installation it might be necessary to use a wired keyboard and mouse, via a USB hub, until the installation is done, you might also need a wired network connection during install, similarly. Depends on h/w (I've not patched MacBooks myself, yet). Once the patcher is done, these should not be needed anymore.

Official support for OCLP is only via Discord — but there is a very active unofficial peer/user support group on FB [3]

HTH!

How did you do the email pretty thing you did there with verification and stuff? MailChimp? Or something else? I struggle with my thing in this stage (signmeonly.io — no website yet, only backend).
No - doors have hinges and you can close them afterwards without having to look for the blown door in someone’s backyard.

"The Making of the Atomic Bomb", by Richard Rhodes, best nonfiction book I ever read. Covers German and Japanese efforts, as well as giving a history of modern physics, beginning way back in the 19th century.

Did you know that Einstein was strikingly muscular, and at one point in his life had been deeply religious, until deciding that much of religion was "lies"?

There is also a frightening history of World War I, of Jews in Europe, and biographies all the scientists involved in the US nuclear effort. Totally amazing.

I also read "Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb", and "Masters of Death: The SS-Einsatzgruppen and the Invention of the Holocaust". The latter is deeply, profoundly, sickeningly graphic, and contains more information than you ever knew existed.
As a team lead I have a capped budget that I can spend on tools/saas etc.

Indie devs need to understand this, put up a pro plan and a checkout link that sends an invoice so that finance folks are ok.

> I use Quasar and Vue. This is my hammer for all nails, no matter the size of the nail.

Vue is great, especially with their Composition API (https://vuejs.org/guide/extras/composition-api-faq.html#why-...) and something like Pinia for state management, without the hassles of something like Redux: https://pinia.vuejs.org/

As for components, I really liked the idea behind PrimeVue/PrimeReact/PrimeNG/PrimeFaces (https://www.primefaces.org/) because I'm not aware of any other attempts of creating components that actually work similarly across different frameworks/libraries and it's really good because your skills carry over pretty well if you ever find yourself exploring a slightly different stack.

For what it's worth, the components also work decently (there's a whole list https://primevue.org/autocomplete/) and look okay (with various themes available, https://primevue.org/theming/), plus you can get examples (https://blocks.primevue.org/). Oh yeah, they also have their CSS utilities (a bit like Tailwind, https://primeflex.org/installation) and icons (https://primevue.org/icons).

I actually look forwards to the day where most of these concerns are less of an artisanal craft but rather a set of boring and well known things that just work well for quickly putting together a CRUD or whatever you need.

That said, I also explored VueRequest for handling network requests a bit more easily (https://www.attojs.org/guide/gettingStarted.html) and VueUse for stuff like LocalStorage (https://vueuse.org/guide/) and while it doesn't feel like I'm building a crappy alternative to Vuex and the complexity is reasonably manageable and the usability present, occasionally it all still feels a bit annoying to deal with - reactivity, ways to shuffle around data that I get from the back end, props, various bugs... so it's not all good, but still less complex than some of the things I've seen with React or Angular.
It's probably better to just not have any mistakes to fix.
The underlying paradigms are the same and it is inexcusable
Cupertino is smaller than you think it is. I don't know if much of anyone at Apple lives there. It's mostly old retired people from Taiwan and India.
There is so much template advice in the industry that it is hurting my eyes.
Everyone shares pre-defined path of what to do, how to do... lines between good intent advice and just advice that leads to a course, community, newsletter sign up, book sale etc are very low.

There are some good industry practices that should be taken in consideration - the mom test etc etc, but in general I'm believer that you should take your own path, define your audience and find your channels.

Stop feeling the FOMO and just build a good product, talk honestly to customers, experiment with some channels and see what happens.

Mr Beast rules YT. It doesn't mean if you replicate his steps how he got there you will also. Same with all the startup funders who exited and got famous. I call them the "startup elders".

Take in the advice, listen, but decide and don't blindly replicate.

We started rolling out beta for our startup after three years in stealth-mode - so that goes beyond initial logic of launch yesterday and send an MVP even if it is wireframe bla bla... I say f*ck that Bitconned shit (see the doc if you haven't). Our playbook is to find the right audience within our pace, get some very good users that really want to use the platform. Don't push things, just be patient and build and do right.

Let's see what happens, all these "trust me bros" that share huge MRR numbers doesn't mean that they built good and sustainable businesses...
Private bankers will do this if you have enough of it.

> Water is a renewable resource

A lot of water used for agriculture in the US is "fossil water" from aquifers that takes millions of years to replenish. The oceans are a limitless supply of water, but like the HB process, require energy to convert to a useful form.
i would also think it is achieved by piezo's, though maybe thats specific to drum stuff?
Defining the same variable more than once is an error. The reason for this is obvious. But if the variable is never used in a cell that does not first write to it, reusing variable name should be possible.

Allowing that would be good, because many notebook cells start with "fig, ax = plt.subplots(2, 2)" and this is currently not allowed more than once.
Thanks for the "all the work" complement. Despite all, it is more fun than work.

Computer algebra algorithms are basically functions. Axiom is unique in that it
organizes the functions based on a group theory scaffold. Thus you can know
that certain matrices commute but rectangular ones don't. Algorithms that know
how to commute live in the commutative "category" in Axiom. So the game is to
distribute LEAN's commutative axioms in their proper place in the group theory
inheritance scaffold so they are available when they apply.

Axiom arranges the world into "categories" (not category theory stuff) and
"domains". The LEAN structure is a third structure (actually fourth but...) built
in parallel so that a theorem that proves that certain matrices commute will
only be available when it applies. When you try to prove your algorithm
you have a collection of LEAN axioms, definitions, and tactics that are valid
and apply to your particular function. If your algorithm used rectangular
matrices the commutative theorems would not be visible and thus not available
in a proof step. Due to the hierarchical nature, once you prove an algorithm
you can also use it in other downstream proofs, for example, using proven
data structures and their properties.

I have not published any papers on the subject. I'm no longer anywhere in the
academic pipeline so a paper wouldn't get very far. Plus this is "in the cracks"
kind of research that doesn't seem to fit into either camp.

As for the education or research question... I'm trying to do what I call
"computational mathematics". It would have "real world impact" for Proof
Systems so they would be able to depend on and use proven computer algebra results.
Computer algebra systems would benefit by giving proven answers. Both areas
would benefit.

Don't try to build a computer algebra system from scratch. Axiom has hundreds
of years of PhD level research work embedded in its code. There is no way to reproduce
some of it as the people have died. Researching just one of the algorithms could
take the equivalent of a PhD effort. I tried to introduce literate programming
so that people could learn to maintain, modify, and extend Axiom. The idea is
that you could "read the docs" and both learn from the authors and have embedded
pointers to the theory literature. Without literate programming I believe that
the whole effort will eventually die as the learning curve is very steep.
Literate programming was an attempt to keep Axiom "alive". Nobody wanted it.
I gave a talk on it once: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av0PQDVTP4A&ab_channel=NextD...

There is no "team". There is just me. Apparently I'm bad at "team". I have
no desire to get forked again.
are they though? Seems like they're more interested in money than exposure at the moment.
