If you’re in a fighter jet and there’s an enemy aircraft you don’t need much encouragement to look at it, whereas with computers people look away from the UI element they are interacting with all the time, for example I’m typing on the iOS keyboard now but looking at the text.

Also the number of objects in a fighter jet is going to be rather small so the radius for selection around each object can be large.

Linear is making (fairly) good on the promises of local-first software. As opposed to "every click is a round trip to the server" software.
I think they're more getting a k8s requiring a whole mess of 3rd party code to actually be useful when bringing it to prod. For EKS you end up having coredns, fluentbit, secrets store, external dns, aws ebs csi controller, aws k8s cni, etc.

And in the end it's hard to say if you've actually gained anything except now this different code manages your AWS resources like you were doing with CF or terraform.

The website says ~20 degree diagonal FOV, isn't that really low? I thought XReal/Viture/etc had around 40 FOV.
Yeah but deer are legitimately bad at walking.
This is one of the most thorough and well laid out analysis of useful hobbyist and low level research options out there. I'll be referencing this for years, thank you very much. Clearly a lot of effort has been put into this.
I worked at a startup using rails. I also spent several years as a nodejs engineer.

I built my startup in elixir.

having experienced all 3, I can tell you in real world perfrmance, the metaphor is accurate. if you're boostrapping a startup and you need fast, stable websockets. elixir is the GOAT.
Apache Tomcat is a web server for Java web applications, different from the Apache HTTP server (your 'apache2').
I've been loving this retractable fountain pen, the A1 Moon Man[0], I got recently. Uses the exact same schematics as the Pilot VP, but it was only $20!

Of course, technically you can get a retractable ballpoint pen for a few cents but I digress.

Los Angeles' one weird trick to build affordable housing at no public cost
All of the 'routers' are using heuristics to select what they see as "best route". And one of the heuristics is likely "prefer main roads". If you run /any/ of them while driving an area you know well, you'll see many instances where the route the algorithm picks is not the route you would have chosen yourself (i.e., they don't know about the 'shortcuts').

Their benefit is when you are in an area where you do not know now to get "there" from "here", the algorithms will usually get you to your destination. Maybe not by the "best" method a local would have chosen, but they do get you there.
You don't need this many tools, especially really early. It also depends on the particulars of your business. E.g. if you are B2B SaaS, then you need a ton of stuff automatically to get SOC2 and generally appease the security requirements of your customers.

That said, anything that's set-and-forget is great to start with. Anything that requires it's own care and feeding can wait unless it's really critical. I think we have a project each quarter to optimize our datadog costs and renegotiate our contract.

Also if you make microservices, you are going to need a ton of tools.

Wish the team well, scrambling to get my mail out of the service now. Heads up to folks trying to bring their mail to Proton: the ProtonMail Import-Export tool can't seem to bring in any mail from the Skiff MBOX export.

Glancing at the file, it appears to be an original MBOX format export, that is "From " with no quoting, etc. That's rough.

For sure, I imagine "software archaeology" will become a field of its own in the future. It reminds me of GitHub's Arctic Code Vault project, a snapshot of all public repositories as of 2020-02-02, meant to last for at least a thousand years.

https://github.blog/2022-09-20-if-you-dont-make-it-beautiful...

I wonder what future humans will make of it, digging through such a massive amount of good, bad, and terrible code. Much of it probably won't run without serious effort.
Why should anyone respond and speculate based on a hastily written hypothetical? You need to put in some genuine writing effort for folks to take it seriously.

Offer some substantial, falsifiable, claims/arguments/etc.

Thanks for pointing that out. It was my mistake (corrected in parent post)
I feel the same way and struggle with lack of physical controls on my phone (eg iphone flashlight!!!). I couldn't imagine operating a car this way.

That said, just want to point out a couple of things that I don't think are true.

> it has no shift lever (it guesses)

There are shift buttons up near the rear mirror on Tesla's latest two vehicles (truck and highland).

> it is a touchpad on steering wheel that moves

I think they're actually real buttons. Still not a stalk though.
They're even putting in a steering wheel horn on new models too.

I think I would still have an issue despite bringing some of these things back. I doubt consumers will have any control over this in the near future though, and learn to deal with it :/

Regarding iphone flashlight, every time i try to click on it, it moves right above as if i'm trying to unlock it. Set the triple back-tap option which works 1/10th of the time.
Yeah, they "learn" to walk pretty quickly. Far too fast for it to be purely learning.
Yeah, modern type systems are game changers. I've soured on Rust, but if Go had the full Ocaml type system with match statements I think it would be the perfect language.
I mean. I believe spiders eat lots of much smaller, flying creatures?
You can simply add backup resistive heat to cover the occasional 4AM drop to -15F. It’s more expensive to operate, but as long as this is rare it doesn’t significantly change your bill.

I found this interesting but not actually very informative and walked away really learning nothing from having read the article submitted itself. It’s all “we used this tool” and “we followed this guide” with no explanation of theory or process. (The links provided, I’m sure, are more helpful.)

There wasn’t even a discussion on why the particular AES configuration deployed was used or how it affects the process.

You don’t need to pretend to have such an expertise, its fine to admit you’ve never actually handled such serious matters before.
I'm not sure I can give you an example where a pie chart gives you more info than a take. What a pie chart does do is convert information fairly quickly.
Personally I think you should use it basically for percentages only (or similar situations) it makes it fairly easy to see if one piece of pie is larger than another. Sure a bar chat y does the same, except a bar chart didn't let you easily know the percentage. Sure you can say 25% in the label or something. But a pie chart makes it obvious.
A table is cool, but it takes longer to process it.
I have been using fountain pens exclusively for the last two years. I don't identify as an addict or a collector.

I can tell you that they are not overhyped. Fountain pens are totally worth it.

I never went too high with the price. I have multiple Pilot Metropolitans (M and F nibs), multiple Platinum Preppies, one Lamy Safari. I also have several Indian Parkers.

I can very highly recommend Pilot Metropolitan, Lamy Safari, and Platinum Preppy. You can't go wrong with them. They are also cheap enough.

With ink, just go with plain Lamy ink, or Platinum/Pilot inks. I also use Noodler's.
So far I like the commonly used approach in the Typescript community best:

1. Create your Schema using https://zod.dev or https://github.com/sinclairzx81/typebox or one of the other many libs.

2. Generate your types from the schema. It's very simple to create partial or composite types, e.g. UpdateModel, InsertModels, Arrays of them, etc.

3. Most modern Frameworks have first class support for validation, like Fastify (with typebox). Just reuse your schema definition.

That is very easy, obvious and effective.
I've seen Bazel reduce competent engineers to tears. There was a famous blog post a half-decade ago called something like "Bazel is the worst build system, except for all the others" and this still seems to ring true for me today.

There are some teams I work with that we'll never bother to make use Bazel because we know in advance that it would cripple them.
Unless, for example, you invested billions into trains that run on Windows 3.11 and retrofitting all of them with a modern control system is prohibitively expensive. Which means the second type of knowledge becomes as irreplaceable as the first one.

Honestly, designers should be the glue, between support, PM, dev, marketing, and business - that's one of the key responsibilities of UX leadership. Without that clear cross communication, it's always a game of chinese whispers ending in horrible outputs and everyone blaming each other.

Big fan of Graphile Worker to handle this job. https://github.com/graphile/worker
You inherit some code. Is that string a username or a phone number? Who knows. Someone accidentally swapped two parameter values. Now the phone number is a username and you’ve got a headache of trying to figure out what’s wrong.

By having stronger types this won’t come up as a problem. You don’t have to rely on having the best programmers in the world that never make mistakes (tm) to be on your team and instead rely on the computer making guard rails for you so you can’t screw up minor things like that.
I’ve been running into this too and it’s very annoying. Although I don’t think it’s particularly new either.

Just feels like an unnecessary step. Sure I have an account and can log in, but why? I just want to know which file has X function, so i can read the implementation. I don’t want to have to download the repo or sign in.
You can use Dependency Injection to solve this issue but in my view the added complexity is not really worth it.
GKE is a much better product to me still than EKS but at least in the last two years or so EKS has become a usable product. Back in like 2018 though? Hell no, avoid avoid avoid.
Basic electronics is how resistor-capacitor-inductor circuits work, along with diodes and the various transistor devices, up to op-amps. Computers have nothing to do with it.

Here in Austria most people seem to use reusable bags for groceries. The mold issue is overblown and not an issue. You sound like someone who has never used a reusable bag.

I think the bigger problem is that all the food is packaged in so much plastic, so it doesn't really matter much because the bags are just a small fraction of the total plastic.
Review of Why Animals Talk: The New Science of Animal Communication
It was a 5 channel heat pump with a single condenser. As the other commenter wrote it was mostly wrapped up in labor. For what it's worth, they're 24 SEER Daikin units. It's priced at replacing the AC and heat for an entire house, so compare it to a large AC installation.
My favorite test to scramble LLM brains is this simple rehash of the old puzzle.

"Doom Slayer needs to teleport from Phobos to Deimos. He has his pet bunny, his pet cacodemon, and a UAC scientist who tagged along. The Doom Slayer can only teleport with one of them at a time. But if he leaves the bunny and the cacodemon together alone, the bunny will eat the cacodemon. And if he leaves the cacodemon and the scientist alone, the cacodemon will eat the scientist. How should the Doom Slayer get himself and all his companions safely to Deimos?"

The trick, of course, is to make it confusing compared to the original. So far, the only model I've seen get this right is GPT-4 (which can one-shot it). Everything else gets hopelessly confused even if you force step-by-step reasoning, and even if you try to have the model iteratively review its own outputs. In most cases, they produce a wrong answer, can spot the problem in it, but when trying to fix it introduce another error ad infinitum.

This new Gemini is no exception - it gives results similar to GPT-3.5. Worse, even, because it can't even reliably catch its own mistakes:

For comparison, here's GPT-4:

You're barking up the wrong tree. (i) systemic change on a global scale is needed, individual actions don't "matter". (ii) corporations and governments are the only entities large enough to make changes. Governments need to force companies and incentivize individuals to make better choices, and help those that would be financially disadvantaged by those choices. (iii) paradoxically, while individual actions don't "matter", they add up of course. Both in energy usuage, and in voting. The latter is more important if we want governments to force and incentivize companies and individuals to make positive changes. So giving the environmental cause a bad name by yelling at individuals for making sensible financial choices is going to cost the green cause voters, which we sorely need.

Stop it.
Places get pretty big with no dedicated DBA resources these days. Last place I was at was a Fintech SaaS with 50 engineers and half a million paying customers.

Running off a couple of medium ( $3k/month each range ) RDS databases with failover setup. ECS for apps.

Databases looked after themselves. The senior people probably spent 20% of a FTE on stuff like optimizing it when load crept up.

Place before that was a similar size and no DBA either. People just muddled though.

Another way to look at this is that your existing cultures can be invaded, colonized, and replaced over time.

The thing you think is constant and unchanging might be metamorphosing just as much as your hometown in the face of real estate development.

Nobody keeps these in labs or -40 C and below freezers, so they'll absolutely face invasive evolutionary pressures.
I suspect it’s because Apple is credited with inventing the word “app,” in the particular sense of a small mobile software application (the Mac App Store came later), as part of other trademarks they owned and it hadn’t genericized into a descriptive term yet.

https://www.osnews.com/story/24882/the-history-of-app-and-th...

This we knew – but the great thing about the Oxford English Dictionary is that they list the earliest known usage (to them, at least). This is the first starting point when it comes to the history of the abbreviation – and according to the OED, the earliest known usage was in 1985, in a product name… From Apple. In July 29 of that year, Info World wrote about MacApp[:]

The essence of the new wave of evangelism for Apple and IBM is to provide software developers with the tools they need to reduce software development time, a costly and labor-intensive process. One step in that direction is Apple’s recent beta testing of the new programming tools called Mac App, developed at apple by Larry Tesler. This is a Smalltalk shell that goes on top of Lisa Pascal and reduces program development time by providing frequently used components of the operating system.

That said, the article mentions similar usage by Ashton-Tate the same year, so who knows. But it wouldn’t surprise me if “it’s an Apple product term” was their argument to the USPTO.

It does seem like any usage before that was as an explicit abbreviation (or file extension, in the case of Atari ST GEM) for “Application” as opposed to “App” as its own word.

I’m a 50something lifelong computer geek and don’t remember using “app” as a standalone term of art until the iPhone came out, though I didn’t go so far as to hit the Jargon File to see when “killer app” started.

But generally, things that aren’t already words in the dictionary get higher trademark protection, particularly when you tack other words on to them. “Application Store” wouldn’t have flown, for example, and probably “app” as a standalone wouldn’t have either.

The article was sparked by Apple trademarking “App Store” and causing legal issues for others using it. While I haven’t read it past the bit the search found, I’m sure the article has more to say towards your question.

I really don't follow. Define programming in your context? Is it distinct from encoding physical structures like wings? Is it meaningful to separate physical structures and structures invoking physical behavior?

Wow, you weren’t kidding. I just checked Autotrader and low-ish mileage 2017 Mirais start at $6k.

Business idea: buy Mirais, pull out and sell the H2 systems, and drop in battery packs to make them BEVs.
To me, it sounds like your company went through a complex re-architecturing exercise at the same time you moved to Kubernetes, and your problems have more to do with your (probably flawed) migration strategy than the tool.

Lifting and shifting an "EC2 + ASG" set-up to Kubernetes is a straightforward process unless your app is doing something very non-standard. It maps to a Deployment in most cases.

The fact that you even implemented an operator (a very advanced use-case in Kubernetes) strongly suggests to me that you're doing way more than just lifting and shifting your existing set-up. Is it a surprise then that you're seeing so much more complexity?
Right, use boring technology!

And...this is why E2E encryption isn't enough to protect your data. E2E encryption + self-hosting + user-controlled keys is the way. For docs & stuff switched to Anytype a while ago, I think there are others that at least offer encryption + self-hosting: Affine, Joplin, Obsidian.
Why do companies try to compete in this space? The margins are thin and the giants have vast offerings.

The only thing I see winning against Google and Microsoft is some hybrid, open source local + cloud suite of tools. Something better than Thunderbird, more like Obsidian. A combination of native and cloud, working well across all platforms, integrated with a full suite of other productivity/office tools, but most importantly open source. Because I don't want to trust my data to some other tool that will just dry up and disappear.

That's a steep gradient to climb. Really steep.

Yeah, this is the move, imo. I think once my mortgage goes positive I'm going to look at where to go next. This is not worth it.
I'm using nixos and I never really needed to "learn the language". I used the installer, which gave me sensible defaults, and now I just dump more and more stuff to my configuration.nix as I need it.

Their website contains plenty of examples to copy/paste and since the distro is already prett old, chatgpt can easily help too.

Ok so perhaps my config isn't the prettiest but who cares. It works and it's a record of what my system is.

I don’t think this is as mutually exclusive as you imply.

Good COBOL programmers are expensive because they’re rare, and the only way to become a good COBOL programmer is to spend a decent fraction of your education and/or career working with it. That doesn’t happen organically anymore for any significant fraction or junior devs.
