The OP also says "The buildings are half empty at 4:30."

I'm guessing that a lot of people have to pick up kids from school or daycare. I know a lot of parents do a bit of work at home in the evening or get in earlier.
> tractors are relatively slow

You're assuming "with a tractor" was the only way for farmers to show up to these protests. It was not; many of them showed up in plain cars.

> impact of those protests was quite high

Indeed, mostly because they were very disruptive. Despite prior assurances, they even hindered emergency services in performing their jobs.
This is better than nothing but in practice will be rarely used if the flow has to be initiated by user (from some deep menu and in a different app than the one they want to use).
I just use bstrlib... It's solid and works perfectly..
That person… they decry management yet their LinkedIn bio says “I am the technical lead / manager for metrics…”

Some self-awareness is lacking.
> Hitachi's SH series were supposedly named that because they were "super hot".

Super hot like they're great chips, or super hot like they're space heaters that incidentally do math?
> we don't have executive vision, engineers do random things and sometimes it works

If I am not wrong, that's exactly what Eric Schmidt meant when he misquoted Mao Zedong, "Let a thousand flowers bloom" and Sergey Brin when he said "But once they do bloom, at some point you want to make a coherent bouquet". https://archive.is/wsTUO

Also: It takes a special type of analysis to claim things are going downhill at a company making $500m/day! May be, some folks do idealize the start-up grind way too much because all they see are survivors and not the ones that withered away. If I am allowed to be reductive, at FAANG scale, the only games that matter are M&A (to avoid being disrupted) and govt contacts / contracts.
Do you think MS teams feel like 5 person startups?

Successful large orgs succeed by being good at being large and balancing the necessary parts of that, not pretending they’re not.
As with other versions of Datomic, this is not open source (only binaries are Apache licensed).

EDIT: Rephrased to sound less snarky. Not inherently a bad thing, but it's a limiting factor for many, including myself.

EDIT 2: Typo
I wonder if there’s some way to mitigate this by either only keeping the uniqueness database long enough to identify duplicates and then deleting it or by using this on lower priority systems that people may reuse passwords from for your higher security one. In either case, the small number of bad passwords you would identify that you couldn’t come up with yourself or find on common password lists probably makes this a bad tradeoff.
The hostility of not wanting new people around you or any population growth seems to warrant the much more minor reciprocal hostility of forcing that population to island themselves.
If you simply put braces around it, you'd generate syntactically invalid code when you don't use braces for if-else statements.

Consider this:

if (e)
SWAP(a, b);
else
something_else();

Currently, that expands to this, which is still valid code:

if (e)
do {
// ...macro...
} while(0);
else
something_else();

If it were just wrapped in braces, the code would be parsed like this:

// One-armed if-statement
if (e) {
// ...macro...
}

// Empty statement
;

// Another statement
else something_else();

It's incorrect syntax to start a statement with else, so the compiler will say something like "Unexpected 'else' at line N."
> what if only a tyrannical nobility could benefit from this new technology, and it stayed that way forever?!

Yeah it goes without saying that's a bad thing, for any technology. That shouldn't convince anyone that Logan's Run is preferable.
Terrible advice. You spend a very large portion of your life at work. Making friends that you can blow off steam and share memories with and building a network can be done simultaneously.
There's some ambiguity for argument destruction order for example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36992250

Similarly, the construction/destruction order for std::tuple elements is not well defined.

Granted, that's implementation defined behavior, which is technically deterministic on a single compiler.
Oh yeah, the bunny people. Andy Grove was apparently really big on those at one point. Think I have one in my office. I either have another one someplace or I tossed it.

I admit I have so much merchandise from over the years from my company and others. I've dumped a lot but some I really like and use regularly.
Have you seen the bill for a freeway interchange?

Or the bill for lung cancer due to living next to a busy road?

Or the bill for hearing loss due to noise pollution?

Or the bill for having a kid getting hit and killed by a 3 ton pickup truck?

Or the bill for birds choking on oil after a spill?

...

I can go on.
Even so, it's just one person's opinion with no evidence. Can't we do better?
Maybe because that way of working doesn't actually work for a company of Google's size.
People are begging for Sundar to do something unexpected or ambitious, his job is just to manage things uncontroversially as possible for a company that with that size and influence. The Google doomerism here is strong (as it's been for 10+ years) but don't be surprised when they roll over the LLM competition this year. They still have enormous advantages that people are inclined to look over in their infra and just the number of people doing research no matter how much faster everyone thinks they should be.
I agree about dogs. Children however are just like adults in how they're all different and have their own personality etc., so I think society is suffering from delaying this integration into society. We all grow up and eventually have to integrate with others, and it seems because of this separation of ages that we will have a less cohesive society and culture in so many ways (which I think is visible already, as mentioned in this thread).
I feel like no one is willing to face up to the obvious truth: founders are not magical, they’re lucky. There isn’t a magic spark that gets lost. They get lucky with breakthrough products. They are incredibly smart annd hardworking but also lucky. Even under ideal circumstances of fostering and developing new ideas, there is no reason to believe their luck will continue, no matter how much talent there is under one roof.

And this is not even considering the other structural barriers to innovation! The vast income streams create their own disincentives to disruption. Coordination is hard when you need to get buy-in of many departments. And despite best efforts, at scale, you end up promoting people good at politics or appearances. But even if all that were somehow eliminated, and true startup-style innovation was possible inside a giant company, the company must be careful to defend their existing winners.

If Google ever started to enter a death spiral like Apple in the 90s, maybe they could pivot if they were lucky enough to get visionary leadership. But now? Why would they?

I worked at Google briefly during the post-IPO period. It was a kind of wonderland, I won’t deny that. But all the really big hits were acquisitions or extensions of Google’s core competencies: search and ads. Everything else was unfocused and half-baked, and this especially applied to ideas that came directly from the founders. (Anyone remember Google Base?)

If you really want Google to return to those days you’d have to tolerate a lot of crap that gets abandoned later. (Which is the other complaint that people have about Google. Too experimental or not experimental enough, make up your minds!)
There are simple rules which breaking doesn't matter much, but there are certainly rules that are worth questioning. Seatbelt rule is quite meaningless to question, but then there are all sorts of rules about substances for example which you are told not to consume. Alcohol as a teenager or drugs. We need rules around substance usage, but for example many of those substances can give you experiences where you learn about human nature and what you really are.
“Huh. It's funny how you stop caring about these things when you can afford to jet off to Saint Tropez for the weekend just because you have a hankering for bouillabaisse.”
I think your observation is why you read a lot more about Phillips these days than RFK.

RFK's promoters switched to promoting Phillips when they realized RFK was drawing more conservatives for the antivax stuff, than democrats for the Kennedy name.
> "I could live here".

Winters are brutal and quite depressing. All sorts of blood leaching insects in summer. Some people have alergies to clouds of pollen... And Russian administration was challenging even before the war.

I am nomad, it is part of my rotation. Very nice place for couple of weeks at right time of year. (not Magnitogorsk specifically)
Haha yea on edge and ff mobile it doesn't look crisp, but not sure if its actually the base image itself. The copilot image looks super jagged, like a bad photoshop. not sure how much effort ms is putting into images, maybe they are ai generated now??
I’m just responding to the headline. “Google is tracking you even in incognito mode”.

This has always been true. You’re welcome to whatever outrage you feel like. I’m just pointing out that nothing has changed. They were just forced to put up a disclaimer about it.
And that’s just tiny fragments too.
HarmonyOS (pre NEXT) has some really interesting ideas in it, where the software architecture is backed by a distributed bus DSoftBus. So apps and appliances kind of semi-seamlessly mesh across systems in interesting ways.

I'd love to see & learn more & get real hands-on experience with HarmonyOS.

Alas the story was already flakey. You can sign up for a free Huawei developer account, by sending them your passport and bank account information... Which seems like a tall ask to me for a company anywhere on this planet, & this is low on the list of companies I feel I can trust.

They released a ton of open source code as OpenHarmony in September 2020, and that's been iterating along. China literally made its first open source software foundation to support the effort & carry it forward: OpenAtom, with all the big names lined up to support it. There's computers, medical, vehicle, and energy applications of the tech, mostly under development or starting to be released. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAtom_Foundation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenHarmony

Hypothetically we can go download the oodles of source ourselves & play with OpenHarmony. But I haven't found any guides or documentation to show how it's done. Progress seems steady on; 4.1 is due soon. https://gitee.com/openharmony

HarmonyOS NEXT sounds like it is an interesting real series of next steps towards their homegrown imagined world. But it also is very unclear to me what the future relation is between Huawei's HarmonOS NEXT and OpenHarmony is going to look like. So far it seems like OpenHarmony is kind of being left behind, and that Huawei is building more or less a better newer commercial OS that scales up and down in size, that maybe is somewhat intercompatible with existing OpenHarmony, but which is not generally available like OpenHarmony was. I could be totally wrong, maybe the open source will continue, but I've seen this NEXT news more with alarm & concern than hope.

I do wish the west was paying a little more attention, and assessing Harmony on Harmony's ground, versus endlessly bickering about Linux and Android.

Ark UI is a vaguely interesting extension to typescript for making UIs; I see a QT :: C++ vibe happening again. DSoftBus is conceptually super interesting as a ubiquitous & pervasive computing platform that's light-years past Matter's first filing steps; rather than carefully cobbled together Matter devices from a huge SDK and elaborate schemas & protocols, there's a connected object bus that promises to kind of just work & integrate elegantly with everyday development of everything you do.

There's interesting stuff here, and frankly OSes are in a long boring doldrums of not doing much. It's a pity that just getting started is so unclear, so hard. And it'll be interesting to see how OlenAtom/OpenHarmony gets treated going forwards, whether the fellowship is broken or whether these companies can help each other succeed together.
Even if they didn't... I mean look, how often do you look around the office and half the people around you are looking at their phones, reading some news article on their desktop, or otherwise goofing off?
There are 482 cities in California, so presumably at least 449 of them manage without a state university.
Lower cost, simpler process, and marginally lighter weight come to mind. But the trade off doesn’t seem great for the consumer (and the weight is truly negligible on a heavy EV).

The other poster had a good point. A marine-class alloy would make a big difference in coastal and salted road areas.
It's a damn shame too. I was never interested in the trades, but being able to use your hands to build stuff is useful. I still have the clock, cutting board, and dustpan I made in my wood/metal shop.

There should, at the very least, be something where you learn to follow instructions and put things together. Like ikea furniture. Learn how to hang a picture. And so on.

Heck, I know people who can barely change their light bulbs.
I don't think people who insist their city should not grow are hostile. I think they are just ignorant and deluded. They are either not aware of, or choosing to ignore, the fact that their cities are economically dependent on neighboring cities to house their workforces, and to absorb their own natural increases.
And your experience that you are citing is an exception within the country.
Sigh. Once again: I always love it when techbros say that AI learning and human learning are exactly the same, because reading one thing at a time at a biological pace and remembering takeaway ideas rather than verbatim passages is obviously exactly the same thing as processing millions of inputs at once and still being able to regurgitate sources so perfectly that verbatim copyrighted content can be spit out of an LLM that doesn't 'contain' its training material.

I'm just glad that so many more people have caught on to the bullshit than this time last year, or even six months ago.

I really don't even get the endgame. Art gets "democratized", so anyone who doesn't want their style copied stops putting stuff on the internet, and eventually all human art is trained, so the only new contributions are genAI. Maybe we could get a few centuries worth of stuff of "robot unicorn in the style of Artist X with a flair of Y" permutations, but even ignoring the centipede, that just sounds... boring. worthless.

The "silo" isn't the problem, it's the lack of opportunities for employment, lack of access to basic amenities, etc.

People in wealthy silos, in downtowns, do fantastically. The problem was the systemic racism in the US, that enabled such a state of disinvestment and segregation, not the particular form of architecture.
I used to be the person who worked late every night. 60 hour weeks were the norm, but on some projects I'd put in 100 hour weeks of several months. That was fine when I was young and had nothing else going on, but at some point a person realizes they need a life outside of work. There is something to be said for being able to sustain a pace over decades. Interestingly, I worked significantly more when I had a high level of autonomy and I was working on my ideas. When things changed and the orders were given by senior management, didn't make sense, and there was no room for discussion, I felt no desire to ever work late again. At that point it might as well be factory work. No one is putting in extra hours at the factory for free.

That all being said, working standard hours doesn't mean a person can't get something done (assuming the conditions are still good). Outside of the tech world, Eminem has been very prolific and he surprises people when they collaborate with him. He shows up at 9am, starts work in the studio, takes a lunch break, and leaves at 5pm. He treats it like any other job.

It is very nice to be able to have food magically delivered to you while you're in your pajamas winding down for the evening. Or when you're working really hard on something and getting or making food would be a distraction. Or, in the case of NYC's shadow kitchens, where you literally can't pick up the food by any other means.
the funny thing isn’t even the meme, it’s that GP posted at least one meme-y response of his own to a separate story AFTER getting butthurt about a kaiju joke.
Just wondering about httpipe - why do you split the host / port / tls config:

{"host":"test.net","port":443,"tls":true,"req":"GET /src HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:

As opposed to something like this?

{"base": "https://test.net","req":"GET /src HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:

It's still generic. You don't have to have feature parity with C++ to meet that bar.
The issue here is actually fairly straightforward.

Google in its present form is illegal, or at minimum is the outcome of a series of illegal anti-competitive actions that for various reasons we decided not to prosecute for an entire generation.

Antitrust laws exist for precisely this reason. Because markets don’t function without active competition.

The monopoly power Google holds over many of its markets insulates it from market pressure and has removed the pressure of competition.

The outcome of this is as predictable as summer. Google doesn’t innovate because it doesn’t have to. That’s not how it makes its money any more.
I greatly respect what Stu and Rich have done to make Datomic.

However, they made an explicit design decision to not include a query optimizer and execute the clauses as they were written. This is usually fine since the author has some idea of what the best order is, but there are O(2^k) different permutations of clauses so doing it by hand will fail at some point (if you want the optimal ordering).
It should have been called _Overload or something similar, since it's not really a generic.
If you're willing to tolerate a GC, Gambit Scheme may be the closest. You can learn the basics of Scheme in a short time (but any programming language will take time to master). The C FFI is also pretty straightforward to use, but developing complete Scheme interfaces to large C libraries can get tedious.

Gambit is also reputed as the second fastest Scheme compiler out there; only Chez Scheme produces faster code.

Believe it or not, but the Chinese government could grant a patent that had technology stolen / copied from other countries. Also, Chinese isn't a race so it isn't racist. It is anti-China / nationalist at worst.
That's interesting. I've been exercising my current amount for so long that I didn't factor in the side effect of additional hunger. Good point.

Though I will say that when it comes to my 50 minute strength sessions, I don't really feel that hungry after. I tend to do them after work, before dinner, and then eat the same amount as any off day. I'm no athlete, just doing the minimum, at which point additional hunger is not that noticable.

50 Minutes of strength is far from your continuous 277W output (nice!), for multiple hours. I think the target audience would literally die far before feeling anything like your levels of hunger, should they ever go on a bike ride with you.

Looking at the writings of people like Sussman, it seems to me that Google is in an identity crisis. Management is half clinging to the old culture of brilliant PhD engineers creating ambitious new products, but the reality is that this doesn't happen anymore. The reason Google is starting to feel like a conventional company is because Googlers are conventional employees. Many of their best and brightest have left to found their own companies, and they're left wondering why the remaining tier 2, or 3 engineers can't carry them anymore.
I hoped for defer (e.g. "RAII" of sorts), is there any way?

I'm not saying it's right, but a lot of people feel like open source means they are entitled to everything from getting binary releases, documentation, their bugs fixed on time, their feature requests implemented or their (sometimes deficient) PRs reviewed and accepted. All in need of careful communication which is easy to mess up.

A project that finances their development through getting paid for features will have to balance how much time they spend on paid vs. unpaid work. Getting maintenance work paid is hard.
That is an incredibly offensive and racist thing to even concieve, much less try to put into somebody else's mouth.

The problem of public housing's inaccessibility, being cut off from jobs and basic necessities, is well documented. Segregation has been a huge problem in the US because it has been used to deny basic opportunity to Black people, not because a lot of Black people are living together.
