Okay but usually businesses deal with this not by having no dependencies and doing everything themselves. Instead they establish business relationships that ensure they do have a recourse, such as through contractual obligations.

Likewise, if the concern is that Github automatically bans you without a recourse, then my preferred solution is that they do introduce recourse. This could even be a paid option: I think it's entirely reasonable for them to ask an administration fee for the appeal process, just to cover the costs of having a human look at what's going on and providing a good explanation.
I like this in theory, I don't have time to chase down every data broker to opt-out on my own. I'm just wondering how I can measure whether it's really effective or not.

Anyone who has ever selected queue service/product will understand it like that.
Because thats one of the most prominent features that gets highlighted by those products:

SQS Standard queues support at-least-once message delivery.

NATS offers "at-most-once" delivery

Outrage over a single low-quality paper, of which there are thousands across academia, misses the larger point. The real issue is the systemic problem within academia, where creative thinkers are often stifled early in their careers. Researchers find themselves forced to align their work with the direction of funding sources or their superiors' interests, resulting in a significant misallocation of resources. Annually, billions of dollars are buried in research that lacks true innovation or independence. This is a far more critical issue than the work of this literal nobody dean. What's even more funny is that the same individuals quick to criticize such low-hanging fruit often do everything in their power to avoid scrutiny themselves, especially regarding the inefficient use of tax dollars and the insignificance of their research areas.

> PG works really well as a message queue

It's also worth noting that by using PG as a message queue, you can do something that's nearly impossible with other queues - transactionally enqueue tasks with your database operations. This can dramatically simplify failure logic.

On the other hand, it also means replacing your message queue with something more scalable is no longer a simple drop-in solution. But that's work you might never have to do.
I think this is just the beginning, give yourself some time, the learning curve is always steep at the beginning, especially when you start or change job, so you may feel overwhelmed. It is only a matter of time, what today needs 8 hours, tomorrow will take less time and you will start to gain back your time.

Of course if you can cut the commuting time, or work some days remotely, that will add more time for other activities that you can do.

Reading this article, it's nice to see I'm not alone in my thinking about the vision pro. Ignoring the remarks on entertainment (it's excellent!), I've believed for several years now that VR headsets are going to replace computer monitors, and the vision pro is a step in the right direction. But a 1:1 monitor projection from my macbook is not quite enough of a benefit to merit the drawbacks of the headset. And it turns out that all of the business software I use is highly interactive, so very little, if anything at all, can be run as a separate native vision pro app.

Teams? I'm not using a persona in a professional setting. Also MSFT's implementation has really low information density. Slack? I need to be able to copy and paste, and the ipad compatibility app stinks. Outlook? Again, the ipad compatibility app is no good. Excel? Give me a break. I had tried the browser first, but it turns out that I have keyboard workflows that are very efficient, and requiring my gaze to shift is no good. To add to it, the gaze tracking highlights controls all over the app when I'm just trying to type, and if I glance at another window for reference, shifts my keyboard and mouse attention.

Multiple monitors projected from a real computer really would be ideal here.

Bussard ramjets will have problems at higher relativistic speeds. The fundamental issue[1] is that from the perspective of a near light speed system, everything else is near-frozen - which includes things like neutron capture and electromagnetism.

It's sort of funny, but dozens or hundreds of orders of magnitude below, the same sort of dynamics are at work in air-breathing ramjets. The impact velocity of the medium is starting to tell, and the exhaust velocity isn't particularly more energetic than what's threatening to ionize the air around your leading edges.

[1] Well, aside from the fact you're exceeding the average velocity of your exhaust mass
I used to work at the University of Nevada, Reno - the institution cited here. The current president of the institution is a former Republican governor without a Ph.D (something nearly all university presidents have). The current VP of Finance is a former Reno city manager who left his job due to a series of sexual harrassment and hostile workplace scandals. After leaving his Reno city job he went to work for the Republican govenor who is now the UNR president.

I think you get the idea of what kind of institution UNR is morphing into.

When I lived in NYC, the experience of using public transportation was far superior to the experience of driving. I didn't have to purchase and maintain a car, I could read or use my phone during the trip, when I went out with friends I didn't have to worry about a designated driver, I could travel late at night when I would be too tired to drive safely, in the winter I didn't have to spend half the trip in a cold car, my risk of injury during my commute was much lower, etc.
Ipod was USD 399.- in 2001 (USD 686.- Today) and the Rio was USD 250.- in 1998 (USD 467.- Today). USD 3499 still seems way up there even for today.
Stats, like wind in miles-per-hour? That seems arbitrary. Why not just use wind speed in plank-lengths per zeptosecond, then?

It's almost as if expressive abstractions are helpful for human understanding of large sets of numerical statistics, no?
That does sound fun! Is the idea to progress sequentially? or do we consider the proposal of 13 before 7 if there is enough support to do so?
Yes, I have heard of such places.

The problem with old cobblestoney towns like mine is that the urge to preserve every shred of the past, often so tourists can get a nice Instagram shot, is at conflict with what the locals require to live in the 21st century.

I've been wondering how WASM GC works with multiple wasm modules, it sounds like you might know. Does WASM GC exist outside individual modules managing memory for many, or is it "contained" inside each module? Does it allow for efficient sharing and minimal copies of memory between modules when host calls both?

For example say you have some data like (eg. string "abc123") in host memory and then pass into module A which then reads/operates the data, and then returns some other data to the host. The host then calls into module B passing the original host data and data returned from call to module A. Can that original host data be shared efficiently and managed by WASM GC between modules?

Mastering Assistant in Logic, as mentioned in the article:

https://support.apple.com/guide/logicpro/mastering-assistant...
I'm one of the makers of ParadeDB, a modern alternative to Elasticsearch. We build Postgres extensions to do fast search (pg_bm25) and analytics (pg_analytics). I love Postgres. If you have a small workload, like a startup, it certainly makes sense to stay within Postgres as long as you can.

The problem is, at scale, Postgres isn't the answer to everything. Each of the workloads one can put in Postgres start to grow into very specific requirements, you need to isolate systems to get independent scaling and resilience, etc. At this point, you need a stack of specialized solutions for each requirement, and that's where Postgres starts to no longer be enough.

There is a movement to build a Postgres version of most components on the stack (we are a part of it), and that might be a world where you can use Postgres at scale for everything. But really, each solution becomes quite a bit more than Postgres, and I doubt there will be a Postgres-based solution for every component of the stack.
And that sounds like a no true scotsman criticism. :D

My complaint was less that it isn't a compelling idea. The problem seems to be that people want to expand the one system they are working on to be a fully comprehensive system. I remember one team tried to get their entire state reflected in a Step Function state machine that could run for as long as necessary. Idea literally being a state machine that would last years or so. They compromised for one that would only last a week or so. And then faced the consequences rather quickly.

And note, given enough time, I think this can work. On a deadline, though, I've seen it fail too many times for it to be my goto solution. All the time by people that are objectively smarter than I am.
Makes sense, I misunderstood your initial post. Thanks for clarifying!

one wonders if there is a current niche that could be filled where they have the excellent high fidelity screen of the Vision Pro but without the hand tracking, effectively making it a monitor HUB and optimized for that, but you can still use a mouse and keyboard in addition to some head tracking, but no hand gestures, as it were.

Have it entirely driven (experience wise) by the external compute.

> PostgreSQL is ALSO dead simple to get going

I'm not saying it's hard to set up Postgres locally, but sqlite is a single binary with almost no dependencies and no config, easily buildable from source for every platform you can think of. You can grab a single file from sqlite.org, and you're all set. Setting up Postgres is much more complicated in comparison (while still pretty simple in absolute terms - but starting with a relatively simpler tool doesn't seem like a bad strategy.)
> "Apple has lost all credibility by being utterly unwilling to admit their shortcomings. We had to wait years and years for the butterfly keyboard to drop, for magsafe and SD slot to be reintroduced."

How long did you have to wait for Google to revive Reader, for Reddit to undo 'new Reddit', for Microsoft to revert the Windows UX hodgepodge and Microsoft account requirement and telemetry, for Facebook to put your timeline back to friends and chronological order without ads, for Linux distros to remove SystemD, and all the other much-maligned changes (Google News, Twitter timeline, Wayland, Ubuntu snaps, Google Maps UX, car manufacturers and touchscreens...)?

"Apple took a long time to fix their disliked changes" has to go against the backdrop of "other (tech) companies never do it at all".

Here is Apple's global revenue of sales from Mac computers, quarterly, 2006 to 2024: https://www.statista.com/statistics/263428/apples-revenue-fr...

Can you spot the 'butterfly keyboard' or the 'touchbar' in there? The drop in sales forcing them to change? I can't. 2015, 2016 (touchbar), 2017 and 2018 look pretty similar to me.
> you start to realize _why_ there's a stack, rather than just a single technology to rule them all

Architecturally, there are other cases besides message queues where there's no reason for introducing another layer in the stack, once you have a database, other than just because SQL isn't anybody's favorite programming language. And that's the real reason there's a stack.

Unfortunately, there are still a few national leaders who don't entirely operate under those constraints. Fortunately, I think they're still militarily weaker than the big democracies (if the US still counts in 5 years), so deleting nukes might still be a good idea.
It’s a bit more complex than that and has a bunch of edge cases.

For example, in most of the states, there are prisons that are pay-to-stay, so prisoners basically go in debt while they’re incarcerated. This further troubles their debts, putting more pressure on them to take on work. Part of this debt can be written off by working on specific jobs that are sourced by local employers. There was a case of a woman I read about, how she’s paying off her pay-to-stay prison debt working at a wings place part time, while serving her sentence.

Since every state has its own laws and complexities, you get a bunch of scenarios that add up, which, in my opinion, are highly immoral.
We were using the weave CNI on our kubernetes cluster. It started failing, so we called weaveworks to try to buy support. They said no, recommending a different CNI which would necessitate a disruptive cluster replacement. Once that was a necessity, all the other CNIs were on the table and we went with cilium, which has been ok with k8s 1.22 on CentOS 7, but which is now having undiagnosed trouble with k8s 1.24 on Red Hat 8. The messy process of figuring that out is underway.
I agree, for whatever it's worth.

There is already a social stigma around people being focused on their phones/screens, and the disconnect it creates with people around you. But that disconnect is somewhat virtual in that the phone is absorbing your attention, but it's not a physical barrier.

These AR glasses all, by design, create a very real physical barrier between the wearer and their surroundings. It also doesn't help that they look goofy, and sometimes slightly creepy. I think this creates a much bigger barrier to widespread adoption, it is a much larger conscious decision by a user to wear an AR kit. You can't just glance at it and get sucked into the content stream, it is a very distinct process to put it on/take it off.

I've been intrigued by the Apple Vision, and other AR devices, but it still feels like there isn't a breakthrough moment for them.
If you want to charge money for a blogging platform, you have to offer a feature for blogg authors to paywall and sell subscriptions. That's what is missing in all free blog platforms, and it's the one feature that serious blog writers will pay for.
There are more convicts than there are positions to be filled. They first ask for those volunteering, and never have to compel. The alternative to not working is sitting and watching a wall.

You realize that the whole punishment thing is that they're forced to do things, right? Forced to not leave, forced to obey. Told when they can shower, when they can go outside. Your objections are bizarre and childish.
That's the part I don't get about people comparing this to slavery. You have the right to refuse. Everything I've heard from people actually in prison say they're grateful for it because it gives them something to do. Do we need to have reform around the prison system? Yes. Is targeting the one place where they are able to do something productive and earn some money the way to do it? Probably not.

Lead Complex Projects in 10 Daily Minutes
Imagine steering a remote team through a complex project with just a 10-minute focused dialogue with AI each day. My goal is to harness dialogue AI to transform project leadership into a succinct, powerful daily interaction. This system aims to:

1. Structure Project Management for Remote Teams: Providing a clear, organized framework to guide remote employees and their contributions.

2. Condense Inputs for AI Analysis: Transforming daily updates from the team into digestible summaries that AI, like ChatGPT, can analyze and present back to the project owner.

3. Simplify Leadership Decisions: Allowing the project owner to deliver guidance and take all necessary project decisions through nothing more a straightforward, 10-minute daily voice interaction with this AI.

The aim of the system is to streamline project management for remote teams and increase efficiency, clarity, and decision-making speed by using the capabilities of dialogue AI to scale established project management techniques.

I'm seeking feedback on refining this vision. Can this be made to work? What are key challenges or ideas for improvement?

Savings is important no matter your income.

However you'll find its a lot easier to save money as you make more money.

My savings rate AND my absolute dollars saved have gone up as I progressed through 20s/30s/40s/etc.

Increases in your rent or real estate taxes +/-5% don't matter as much when housing is a lower overall % of your income. This is a big hurdle in HCOL areas when you are starting out, so the faster you can move through that phase the better.

After reading all that, my only thought is: "Now let's see you debug that."

IMHO the more abstract and complex a system is, the more chances that something will go wrong. When one has to figure out what's actually happening among a huge mess of overly-abstracted code, simple and straightforward always wins. Perhaps it's some kind of job security.
