I suspect it'd help people vary up their diets more at least, since they can ask for something new rather than rehashing the same 5-10 meal types over and over again. Would that make for healthier food? Maybe, because at least part of why at least some people eat unhealthily is because it's easy to cook the same few things over and over again.
Awesome tool, thanks a lot for sharing
I think this is true of most open source projects, and probably all of the bigs ones.

Software in general has a burnout problem. I am regularly stumbling around like a zombie by friday afternoon, and that's just for my actual, paid job. If you added maintenance of a large open-source project like Rust ... I don't see how I would manage it, at least without letting my health -- and probably my family -- suffer for it.

I know that some people are fortunate enough to be paid for their open-source work, but that doesn't mitigate the burnout from software engineering itself. Add to that baseline stress the fact that your customer is "the internet" and feedback is often coming from "whoever is currently angriest," and it seems wildly unsustainable.
A remote access tool with a client pre-configured could fix this. E.g., if this happened to me, I'd use KDE Connect since I already have it paired.
Who used Windows Vista?
I agree

At the same time lint tools sometimes move into the 'pedantic unhelpful' field because those things are the easiest to check (no, nobody likes pep8 and its brain-dead char limit - Black is much better)

But yes, if it can be automated it should be automated
We already have drone pilots working from "home", and it appears the alienation is real. Not that bombing military age children from an f-16 is a walk in the park.

And while I personally enjoy working from home I know a lot of people who would claw at the walls if forced to WFH.

Point being - it might seem like a small difference - doesn't mean that it is a small difference.
The accelerating adoption of Julia
Here’s a very simple example. Search ChatGPT in the App Store. The top result is an ad that’s not ChatGPT but looks extremely similar. The top 10 results are basically intended to look as much like the ChatGPT in name and logo as possible.

Ostensibly this 30% cut is supposed to prevent things like this from happening, as Apple argues it uses that money to keep the App Store clean from fraudulent or misrepresenting apps, among other things. There is a much touted “review” process that is supposed to be partially funded by the 30% cut.

So if that isn’t really happening, what, pray tell, is that 30% going towards? It isn’t making the App Store a better experience
I was under the impression that the Apple keyboards could work via the lightning cable. Could be an old battery one though

And titles from indie devs / smaller studios (which I find myself going back to play much more these days, than titles from the "big boys").
Personally, I don't think it is natural to sit in the same role for more than a few years. And that's not just the primary tasks of the job -- the same people, the same administration, the same bureaucracy. I do feel that virtually no jobs will allow you to grow as a person and enjoy life.

Here, by "job" I mean the traditional kind at a corporation or medium-sized organization. After seven years of working in such organizations I realized the only thing that was fulfilling was quitting and doing a bunch of random things like contracting, content-creation, and other passive income streams.

Of course, that may not be for everyone but I still think (after talking to hundreds of colleagues in various places) that after a while, most jobs suck. Sure, some of them pay well but then again, I personally feel that no amount of money is worth spending the best part of your youth doing mostly meaningless things. And, if the money IS good enough, it makes sense just to work for a decade and then retire early...
Well, I don't _need_ it of course :-) Just saying it would be cool.
Plenty of cheap peripherals still run on disposable batteries.
If they had Apple input devices (Magic Keyboard, touchpad, etc) they don't work over the wire.
I hate it with a passion and would never read any text without capitalization.
It is a fair point, but I think your last sentence hits on the problem. People that contribute regularly to OSS projects are nearly always emotionally invested. It brings a lot of pleasure initially which I think also contributes to the eventual burnout.

These are hard problems.
I disagree. UEFI makes my life, as an end user, so much easier. The amount of times I've needed to buy a different flash drive because the BIOS of a particular motherboard didn't like the way my existing flash drives smelled has gone down to 0. The thing even supports filesystems _not_ formatted by a tool written for Windows 95 that arranges the FAT partition in _just_ the right way to get it recognised.

Previously, we had motherboards do the same stuff, except now they called into ROM memory on the network card, and ran a bunch of non-standard, proprietary code to render the fancy graphics and do online updating. I don't believe for a second that things were easier before UEFI standardised it all, they were just hidden from plain view better.

„In the ways that matter” and the only way that matters for a lot of employers is what is cheaper.

This maybe isn’t strictly related to the topic of this post or conversation but a lot of companies have been replacing most, or even all, support channels with AI assistants.
No, it isn’t good enough to replace those humans in a sense most would consider essential - helping customers which reach for the support line, but businesses find it „good enough” in a sense that it’s cheaper than human workers and the additional cost of unhappy customers is small enough to still have it be worth it.
Universities are supposed to teach academic skills - ie, things that are believed to be true by the academy. "How to program" isn't something the academy understands, so they generally can't teach it [0]. By extension, they can't teach debugging either. People will need some sort of trade skill system to pick that stuff up.

I'm tempted by both sides of the argument, but I think the professors have a point about leaving students to sink or swim. At the end of the day a professor generally has a lot of teaching experience and most of the younger ones I've seen seem go through a phase where they think they can teach every student. Very few (none?) of the older ones. I think that is an important clue.

[0] Observe that teaching language semantics and syntax are different from learning how to program using that language. As far as I know among professors there is a strong consensus on what C is, and no consensus on how to use it to solve practical problems.

Go and find a random person on the street and ask them to install a website on an iOS device and watch what happens.

It is absolutely set up in such a way that normal people not only can not do it but don’t even know it’s possible.

And thanks to you the clothing companies say “why pick on us when you import horrendous batteries”.

The car market is about the same size as the clothing market, your 20:1 ratio is way off. Allowing the car market to become as bad as the clothing is not a win.

> It's important not to leave out the fact the warfare was two-way.

I’m pretty sure the Navajos did not send settlers and army on death marches. Nor did the tribes start massive programs of sterilisation, or child removal and cultural destruction. The US did that. The settlers did that. The first governor of California literally stated:

> a war of extermination will continue to be waged between the races until the indian race becomes extinct

Because settlers wanted the place, and natives were in the way. Or could be used for forced labour (see: Act for the Government and Protection of Indians 1850)

> It's just too easy to fall into the "settlers exterminating natives because they're in the way" narrative, when that's not what happened.

Isn’t it? Settlers took over land, and when tribes got inconvenient settlers moved to extermination and called in the army.

The US made a bunch of empty treaties and broke them just as fast, doing nothing or even encouraging the destruction of the lifestyle of numerous tribes.
No harm in a little nuclear explosion between friends.

Ever tried using an Apple mouse while charging? ;)

Jokes aside, not all bluetooth devices turn wired once plugged in. I know my MX Keys USB-C port is only for charging, for example.
Is that so? I have a Magic Trackpad with a Lightning connection and I was under the impression that it did work over the cable. Thinking about it though, I'm not sure I ever validated that.

You can technically do this with TOTP if you save the secret instead of simply enrolling the account. You're not supposed to do that, though.
Faster, yes, more efficient - not sure and very difficult to measure. We also got a lot more diversity and resistance to measures.

I find the view that recreating modern medicine being clearly easy with the internet dubious. Even more, we did create the internet while having medicine before, not the other way around. Without modern medicine we might not have any internet to start with as the struggle with human diseases and illness might have led to very different time attribution of efforts.

Also, the quote is for all of medicine, not just modern.

I don't think that's equivalent. If you buy a Ford car, you aren't forced to buy tires from the Ford dealership. You're not a "Ford Customer" beholden to the Ford Motor Company when it comes to everything related to the car. If you buy a Dell desktop you aren't forced to buy all software through a Dell marketplace. I'm sure if these companies could, they would, and apple can and so they do. But is that the world we want? Sure, in a totally "free" market apple should be able to do want ever they want. But are we more interested in freedom for corporations or freedom for people? Would things be better for everyone if we used the power of government to prevent these anticompetitive practices? Why can't apple offer good reason for iPhone users to buy software through their marketplace and take the 30%, all the while allowing users to choose to download software outside of the marketplace?
My neighbor works at a Walmart in the US and observes the following: They won't usually have more than 2 or 3 cashiers signed in at once. The cashiers are either elderly people who can't scan super fast or young people who don't care. So most people go to the self checkout unless they have a cart brimming full of stuff, and even then she sees more than a few go through the self checkout anyway.

Is this Walmart being cheap? Kinda, but I think the recent surge in living costs has made being a Walmart cashier an unattractive job. I think they have trouble keeping and retaining people who want to do the job and do it well. $15/hr. is nothing now, and the young people who are cashiers know that.
> That's just it, nobody looking to get paid by OpenAI actually did any labor for OpenAI.

To me this is a strong point in favor of the idea that OpenAI has no business using their work. How can you even think it's ok for OpenAI to use work that was not done for them without paying some kind of license? They aren't entitled to the free labor of everyone on the internet!
It might work half the time in standardized catalog houses/apartments soon - but might need a few hours per job of human guidance in the majority of jobs for the forseeable future?
In Switzerland it's similar for one of the two major retailers. For the other one you can pay in the app without every going to a POS.

I 100% understand why veterinarians are in a crisis.

We had to let our pupper go a few weeks ago. The vet had to basically sit there and watch us while we processed the fact that we were about to pay her to kill our best friend.

For us, it was the worst day we had experienced in years. For her, it was Tuesday. She had other people waiting in the room next door, and had to go from solemn to bright and cheery over the span of ten footsteps, and she has to do that every day.

Her job is often to put a very real price tag on the life of a beloved companion. "I'm sorry, but keeping him alive will be $10,000... or we can humanely put him down for much, much less."

It's grim business. Necessary, but grim.

It's still very much possible that intelligence as we understand it is fundamentally limited. That is, it's possible that the smartest possible being is not that much smarter than a human, just like the speed of matter and energy is limited to c.

Of course, it's also very much possible that it's not: we don't have any good evidence either way.
The perfect career for an accelerationist.
The issue I always saw with a Spirit / JetBlue merger is while JetBlue offers "low cost", Spirit occupies the "ultra low cost" niche, and a merger between the two would very likely mean the elimination of the "ultra low cost" segment to places Spirit operates. I feel like this is a great opening for Frontier to come back and try to buy them again, and some have said that deal would be approved, because Frontier operates in the same "ultra low cost" niche that Spirit operates in.
I also use this one. If you have a free tier AWS account, you can use the "amazon polly" voices. The neurals voices are very good. If you only use it to read articles to yourself (i.e. a few articles a day and, on some days,none at all), I don't think you'll reach the limit (which is reset monthly). And if you do, switch to normal voice (not neural) and wait for the month to end

It's explained in TFA: you teach them to take a moment to ensure everyone is properly exposed to the knowledge. Why do people continually act surprised when something that is supposed to have been taught simply isn't?
I am not that happy with this.

From a legal perspective and the size of Apple I understand why this happened
and for the most part I fully agree with the legal arguments.

I went with Android for a well over a decade and it was fun.
So many things I could do with it and so many ways to fiddle with it
even rooting it.
My nerd in me like that.

I had an iPhone for a while and the lack of customizations and fiddling was
quite annoying, switched back, then a few years ago I went and got an iPhone
for reals (I mean fully knowing what I was giving up).

I was tired of all the Android problems.
I didn't enjoy fiddling anymore
I had no longer an interest in rooting it.
and I was pissed off about 6000 different Android implementations
and how older phones lost Android updates quickly leaving plausible
security vulnerabilities.

(I suppose Google phones get all the updates for a long time).
and usually, one vendor would make their own "enhancements" to the OS anyways.

I became the enemy and embraced the walled garden, the shitty game of move
your new app icon around and around to try to fit it where you want it,
more expensive hardware/cables etc.
In my opinion there is less shit in the app store as well.

As long as the sideloading and whatever else does not impact my phone as long
as I dont do it myself I am fine with it.
It it leads to more vulnerabilities and other problems for everyone I dont like it.

It is not the 100% great mobile phone. (hello my classic BB), and at times
inconvenient but I prefer a nice walled garden and limits on what I can do.

I also prefer all my family and friends to be on the iPhone, if and only if
I know I will be providing endless technical support

"uh you need to fix my cellphone!"
> ok.,. what phone do you have?
Well its a model XXX from YYY company about 4 years old.

Sure its the VVV version customized for YYY but it has not been updated for over year.
> Buy an iPhone.

another day

"uh you need to fix my cellphone!"
> ok.,. what phone do you have?
" uh it is an iPhone 10"
> great.
> what is the problem?

¹ In real life there is no way the people I provide with unwilling endless technical support would have even a small inkling of what OS it is running.
but it fit the made-up dialog.
Can we even say that JetBlue succeeding and/or the merger moving forward would be a win for the consumer though?

The problem with aerospace is that it has a very high barrier to entry, so consolidation ends up hurting the consumer more often than not. Same as other infra related industries like telcos and civil engineering work that require fairly massive upfront capital and regulatory investments to operate.

Better to leave a hole in the market to encourage new entrants, even if it means consumers suffer in the short term.
It's painful for me, apparently my brain normally uses the low frequency capitalised letters as anchor for "navigation" in big blocks of text.

Following up on my previous comment, I managed to never become fully burned out, but it required changes to myself, not the project. I had to become less emotionally invested in the project, realize I could not solve everything and step back a bit and do some other things. I guess it would be great if the project were reinforcing these ideas to its contributors to prevent burnout, but that also does not seem realistic. And "the project" is made up of others going through the same problems.

The large OSS project I contributed to thankfully had other contributors that were good role models for these behaviors and it helped seeing them disengage to do other things for a while.

I think the fact that Norway has two standardised written forms makes you think a lot more about the discrepancy between written and spoken language.

English, say, also has many spoken forms but more or less one written form.

If you learn written English and then move to the Highlands or Australia you are also in for some heavy learning.

Resolve has a all-in-one approach to movie making: it has a NLE (copy/paste/trim/arrange video clip), a very advanced color grading tool (in fact it was born as one), an audio editor (née Fairlight), and even a compositor (née Fusion).

All of those components are production-ready, free (as in beer), have a dedicated team working on the product. Plus, the parent company seems in very good health and doesn't seems to make stupid decision (probably because they're making most of their money on hardware ?)/
I agree, but Rust would've still had several of these vulnerabilities. The integer underflow would've passed in release mode (though you could argue that anything running this low level should spare the extra CPU cycles for checked arithmetic), the infinite loops hanging the system, and the predictable TCP sequence numbers.

I'm not sure about the weak pseudo-RNG, because I would expect an existing crate to get imported for that use case, but the same RNG could also be implemented just as badly in Rust.

As for the buffer overflow vulnerabilities: I completely agree. These are the most dangerous vulnerabilities and I doubt they would've made it past the compiler had they been written in Rust.
Two out of three ain't bad?

But yeah, you're right, it's really in the "countertop smart oven" category, but I saw a thread about toasters and I wanted to share what to me is kind of a funny example of early 21st century toaster-adjacent tech enthusiasm.
That's a very cool fact!

Whenever I read these stories, I kinda wish I grew up ~one generation earlier in computing. It seems like the industry was smaller and more exciting

Counter point. My CS program had a class specifically for low level programming that required massive amounts of debugging C code using GDB.
That same program also required students to take an OS class in C where the knowledge from the low level programming class came in very handy.

For higher level languages I don't think much of an introduction is warranted since it's just using tools provided to you by the IDE and should be left to the students to figure out.
Device Tree can be compiled to a separate file, then loaded by boot loader and kernel. When device tree is available and all drivers are present for a device, then it's easy to boot it.
