Oh, is that what they mean? I set "Search Mode" to "newEditor" immediately whenever I configure VSCode on a new computer, since the default behavior of opening in the side panel is such hot garbage. I entirely forgot that some people don't have that and took for granted in my post that everyone knew about opening the results in an "editor".

But the point is that "editor" is non-functional. It's nice for browsing the results and has syntax highlighting and surrounding context, but you can't actualy edit from there. You can only use it to open the source file and then edit the source file.

In Zed, the search results "editor" is actually functional. You can make changes to the text that you see from the surrounding context, right in the search results, and then hit save, and have those changes propagated to all the touched files.

So, say you update a function to take another argument, and you want to update your codebase appropriately. Well then you do a global search for that function name, and then scan down the results list. The irrelevant search results (maybe you mention the function in a comment, but aren't actually invoking it) you can skip. The complicated updates you can open the source file like you do in VSCode. But the trivial ones where you can see what you need to pass as the new argument, you can just update right then and there.

That was in response to your statement that “in all those years this year not been a problem on the dominant platform”. It has. The exploit in the news article is only possible because of the way Android lets websites initiate a PWA install, with a prompt that looks like a normal app install, lacking any warning about unsecure sources.

Android was also infamous for causing users to develop permission-blindness and just accept everything, later replaced by every app havinf an extensive permission list that everyone just shrugs and accepts as normal.

As a manager of several years now, you missed one of the absolutely worst parts: "performance management" a.k.a. when one of your reports is repeatedly/consistently unable or unwilling to meet expectations and you have to put them on a Performance Improvement Plan.

Not only are PIPs a slog for you, they're absolutely torturous for your report. If you have a shred of empathy, it's tough. If you have a lot, it's agonizing. Add H1B status to that mix and you're possibly the person responsible for sending this person out of the country.

I had two years across two jobs where I inherited teams where many PIPs were called for. It led to me quitting the second job outright and nearly a year of sabbatical recovering.

Harming others is not why I became a manager—really the opposite.

On a good day, I get to help people grow and be a part of their victories. On a bad day, I'm at least indirectly responsible for their suffering and feeling miserable about it for at least days.

It can be a tough gig.
Because the site of Worldcon is selected by members (i.e, sci-fi fans) of which China has _many_.

In fact, this whole debacle has hurt them the most since it seems many/most Chinese authors were excluded by default since the amateur self-appointed censors couldn't actually be bothered to figure out what disqualification criteria would be, just that it could be "sensitive to China."

This is a real danger lurking among the zoning reform efforts we are seeing all over the english-speaking world. There are so many levers baked into the zoning code to prevent development that it's easy to produce a policy that appears to unwind the restrictions without actually permitting any real progress.

My city upzoned the entire city from 1 to 3 units per lot across the whole city a few years ago, which is great. Except they left a parking minimum of 1 per unit, setback requirements, lot coverage maximums, and height restrictions that make it nearly impossible to build additional units that are fit for habitation. A policy that looks great at a glance is awful in practice. I looked into adding a rental unit in my backyard with an architect. The limits resulted in something that would have to be under 400 sq ft / 37 sq m and would be awful to live in.

To their credit the city is now looking at moving to 4 units per lot by right and as part of that process is considering fixing some of the gaps they left the last time, but it illustrates the need to look at zoning codes very closely to make sure the intended development is actually allowed (or question if the gaps are being left on purpose).
At each WorldCon, host committees of science fiction groups from cities put up bids to host the WorldCon to be held two years hence. In 2021, Chengdu and Manitoba had committees on the roster. WorldCon voters chose Chengdu.

The problem is one of effective power: do you tell people who live in these regimes, "sorry, you cannot participate in this culture because your government is bad." How much pull do they have to change things, especially this sort of thing? Or do you say "you can participate, but only at a lower tier." Either way is going to put some people into an out-group. Maybe that's the right thing to do--paradox of tolerance, for instance--for the rest of the people in the group or culture. Maybe it isn't.

I know it would hurt pretty badly to be a science fiction enthusiast in China, perhaps even someone who really does not like what their government does, and not be able to participate. On the other hand, it hurts to be potentially on the list for your work's most prestigious honor, only to be "disqualified" because you "might" have written about something that isn't permitted in the host country you couldn't have predicted.

Senior management often seems like a popularity contest.

The ability to get along with others often seems to be more important than actually being a good manager, being aligned with the business, and delivering value.

The main problem of the commission is IMO that they aren't directly voted for and, well, not sure if I should call it corruption, but it does seem like the Commission is too monied-interests-friendly.

Well, with any license releasing code for useful tools will result in unlimited 'borrowings'. In most cases enforcement against small player is difficult. And impossible if it becomes popular in darknet/underground. My recommendation to the author: forget about it. You can add more watermarks in the code, or stop coding at all blaming a.. bad people, someone specifically, the laws, etc. if it make you feel better. As for me if I give something away I don't expect my axx to be kissed. Still can add it to my resume.

> It has been my experience that rewriting such things in C++, or even Go or Java is an easy way to quickly save truly incredible amounts of compute.

Sure but there's a trade off, no? Go is typically 3x the code than python. And C++ is 10x the complexity easily.

There was one point back when I stopped coding C++ where one coder might not understand what another C++ coder was doing because the standard was so large.

> A team I used to work with was forced to throw away a finished Python data pipeline that took them a year to build, because it cost more to run than the combined salaries of the team.

You know, I have horror stories about C++ and Java as well. Usually that kind of blame goes to management for not understanding the issues up front. Pretty soon, I'll have slew of stories about go misusage as well.

I have a Raspberry PI 1 model B running almost non-stop for over 8 years (except during power outages) serving as my front gate controller. Custom python code uses the GPIO pins to trigger an RF remote to open or close the gate, and does not write to SD for logs/etc (to prevent SD wear)

I use a USB network card, and a high-quality SD card. Other than that, no other special configs (except for another spare SD card with a full system image clone).

Rock solid performance and uptime over 8 years.

They needed to compile the kernel because they were using the full kernel. The main package repository (and thus the main binary caches) only include a de-blobbed version of the kernel. To get standard Linux including all the blobs, you need to use the “nonguix” package repository. The nonguix folks do have a binary cache server, but using it during install is slightly annoying. I currently have a guix vm compiling Linux for exactly this reason. Since you likely won’t be installing much else from nonguix during system setup, you only need to compile the kernel and other bloby things you choose to include (e.g. firmware, microcode).

Quite often yes.

It’s easy to tell on common older vehicles that have separate high beams.

It’s pretty common that people do this with one low-beam out, but blinding everyone to avoid a fix-it ticket is annoying.

Headlights haven’t gotten much brighter, many LED equipped vehicles actually put out less than a really good Xenon from a decade ago, but they have a cooler color temp. Also, lower priced vehicles with LEDs don’t often have the self-adjusting leveling systems that are/were common when HIDs were only available as an expensive option or on pricey cars.

Combing Xenon-like or exceeding brightness, cooler temp (appears brighter to human eye), a lack of self-leveling with poor factory alignment and you get our current situation.

I've seen bad Java/C++ code go to production before, and cost many more hours to fix it than it was just to replace the code with a working python script using the built in libraries.
I suppose you are correct that China commands far more geopolitical power than anyone else including the US today. China knows how to play this game far better than anyone; the Hugos being held in China was just one example of many of that.

I already don't buy books because they win or fail to win Hugo awards. I bet some people do, so this is marginally worse for them, because they're trusting someone else to curate books for them and now they might miss out. I guess the lesson is not to depend on which works of art (or of entertainment) get recognized for awards.

For the authors who may have missed out on a Hugo award and whatever money a Hugo nomination or award brings (probably non-zero bump in sales) I guess I'm sorry. But they'll be fine, and this kerfuffle might even bring more attention to than a nomination would have: "would this book have won a Hugo?"

Evergreen quote from TFA:

> KMP provided some additional thoughts on his ELIZA:

> "The thing about the DOCTOR program, while it was quite elaborate, was that it sort of missed the point of what Weizenbaum was trying to say. It's not that I didn't understand him, but it took me a long time to really come to viscerally understand the seriousness of his point. He said that (paraphrasing, maybe badly, from memory) long before we got to real AI, we would get to things that seemed smart but weren't, and we would overly trust systems that were not really smart. He was, for example, very worried about computerized launch of nuclear missiles using what was then thought to be AI. But the point of the original ELIZA was not to BE elaborate, it was to be simple, and to show how even a tiny, tiny program could seem smart. It was hard not to think it could be smarter if it were not so tiny, but that misses the point, which was about how easily we were confused, not about how much more effectively we could be confused if more energy were put in. So whether my DOCTOR or any other was making the right point was hard to say. My guess is not."
> I wish I'd done educational products ("info products") earlier. They're like a microcosm of the experience of launching a product because you have to find customers, pitch to them effectively, and then deliver something they'll want. Like you can do that whole cycle in a month, whereas it would probably take 3-10x that long to do it with a SaaS.

Something that helps with this fast cycle is that many people have prior experience which they can turn into an info product. For example, Daniel worked for many years at AWS, and then after quitting could write up https://dvassallo.gumroad.com/l/aws-good-parts by leveraging his many years on the job.

If the info product is along the lines Daniel describes,

"This is an opinionated book. We only cover topics we have significant first-hand experience with. You won't find most of the knowledge we share here in the AWS docs."

it's really valuable.

I find it similar to how it's more effective for a fresh university student to ask senior classmates which classes are good and which professors to avoid, rather than asking professors or academic advisors. They'll get more relatable advice from peers.

The same goes for lots of knowledge or skilled work, whether accounting, construction, or something else. First-hand experience that doesn't appear in textbooks can be so valuable to others.
Well if you have any favorites, I'd love to see them. I'm very interested in the research in this topic, and you're making bold claims that I haven't seen well supported in literature, but I've been less on top of the field over the last decade or so.

That's always a risk! One of the strengths of the proposal is that if a maintainer slacks on defining a solid API testset, users can submit the tests they think belong. At that point the responsibility is baked in: once a test is added, you either keep it green or bump the version, enforced by the registry.

If a maintainer staunchly refuses to define an API, that's useful information, the kind you can't get with standard SemVer, where the only mechanism is trusting strangers to do the right thing. Which, to be fair, works ok, some of the time.

I don't understand the "othering" comment. My point was that within software, DevRel generally serves a very different purpose and function than marketing or sales, and that comments equating DevRel to "just sales/marketing" are missing the clear distinctions between these functions.

It's interesting if marketing in other industries covers some of the functions that DevRel addresses in software. But that says more about how different industries divide functions across departments, and to me that underscores the DevRel vs. marketing/sales distinction in the context of software.

If you're a one person shop, you're doing all of the above.

I also don't agree that the examples provide are analogous to software or software sales. Scientists courting scientists and making sure their company is visible enough to be thought about is really not at all like what the Dev Advocate does. I understand the temptation to compare them, but beyond the vague notions of visibility and preferred status, the analogy breaks down pretty quickly.

Showing up at conferences or meetups and running hackathons does provide visibility, but in a large number of cases, DevRel is there to serve the existing customer base and to ensure their success. This can also be a positive signal for prospective customers, which is one of the reasons such programs are considered valuable.
