Seriously. You want to ask the CTO to make artifacts public because you don't want devs to set or clear an attribute bit? Talk about entirely the wrong priorities.

Where did this coddled sense of entitlement come from? Are they creating their own SSH keys? Do they know the basics of the git cli? Or are these "magic commands" too? Do they know how to do their job?

I sympathise that Apple's tooling could be better, but the conclusion and tone is ridiculous given what could charitably be described as 'unique' requirements.

Our internal CLI tools have all largely been hassle free regardless of devs OS. We do use GoReleaser which abstracts away the multi arch builds, signing, and publishing to GitHub and Homebrew, which can be criticised sometimes as a bit of a crutch. But it's also been zero hassle for all of our Mac devs (the most junior of which are still expected to be able to download and execute a binary from a terminal.) and lets us get on with our day without prioritising 'requirements' that aren't even worth spending any time on.

Why would you even ship a command-line tool if your apparent need is to avoid the command line?

That’s fair enough. If the goal itself was to get people there and back for the technical challenge/knowledge then a one-way mission does not make much sense.

But if the point was to start a long-term colony on mars then it would make sense to first send people that would not expect to come back. Robots are cool, but I’m guessing that us humans with our arms and fingers will be able to do general tasks better than robots will for a long while. Humans have ability to fix things, reach things, and to improvise which robots generally lack. Construction or factories on mars will require people on the ground managing those projects.

There would also be a scientific benefit understanding how people age and how long-term social relations can last on mars.

What I see here is the automated plagiarism machine can't give you the answer only what the answer would sound like. So you need to countercheck everything it gives you and if you need to do so then why bother using it at all? I am totally baffled by the hype.

I hate the UI on my LG TV.

I want to play a video game, or connect my laptop to it. The input is already set to the correct HDMI port from previous usage, and it has a video signal on it.

When turned on, the TV still displays an app selection bar a the bottom that never goes away.

Also, I can't tweak the colors, only choose from a few presets. And color calibration is terrible, vivid yellows become some weird color.
I think "social" in this context refers to frictionless friend finding, not stickers. Good privacy involves a certain level of friction, with PGP verification being a classic example of the UX problem space.

I explicitly wrote otherwise.

> slave merchants impeded others' rights, and impeding the merchants protected rights.

I'm sadly amused that you interpret an assertion that all have a right to liberty is a right to enslave people. It's not a very clever argument, I see it all the time. I was hoping for better from you.
"Prisoners of conscience" perhaps?

Some people are accused and convicted of a crime, know they are at fault, and even want to be sentenced for their crime. EG, they knew they were negligent, made a mistake they should not have, etc.

Such types could potentially feel almost relief with such exile, if their personalities aligned with that of an explorer. And if they truly desire censure, punishment, "doing their time" on Mars, instead of rotting in a jail cell, may seem very good to them.

Of course, lots of profiling would need to be done -- but, that is already done for such missions.

I am doubtful as well. We are told these factories cost 10s of billions to build though the number of people on the floor doesn't seem very different than any other factory. I find that hard to believe that labour is a primary driver.
The UK is a wholesale exporter of terror and calamity, or haven't you been paying attention? The world is absolutely on fire today because of actions taken by the British to protect their empire as it crumbled.

British Colonialism and the Stolen Generation (and White Stolen Generation) are absolutely connected, and any attempt to disassociate from this heinous period in the recent history of the UK is merely cowardice.
The point is to sustain human life on another planet. That’s incredibly challenging and the quality of life will be poor for the first generations. Human history is full of people who have done exactly this.
"Game Programming Patterns" is obviously not a book about how to develop games in specific game engines. Like the title says, it is about general game programming patterns (that some engines might employ - or not). I think the target audience is people who want to know how games work under the hood and/or want to write (simple) games from scratch.

That's a really difficult question because the Husafell is so different to a barbell - along with the fact you have to carry it 35m. There are aspects of grip and wingspan involved, too.

I say this as someone who hasn't touched the Husafell in Iceland (yet), so take it with a pinch of salt: From what I've seen, if you haven't hit a ~200kg (440 lb) squat and a ~250kg (550 lb) deadlift, you might struggle with the Husafell stone.
Seems to be some form of "category mistake" which could be easy to address.

There are different contexts in which we can reason about truth. For metaphysics and related philosophical activities it makes sense to doubt any form of truth. To improve a train schedule in a small country, there is little sense in doubting that time exists.

(Source : I work in vaccine research, including challenge studies, in the UK, but only in IT/Digital, I'm not clinical).

In the UK at least (and as I understand it in most countries that subscribe to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki), all of our studies have to have insurance to cover such eventualities (which are exceedingly rare these days). In addition, we provide clinical contacts for the participants throughout the trial and follow-up, and ensure that participant NHS medical records (and central NHS databases such as for the COVID vaccines) are updated with the necessary details for any future related care.

Money/Payment is always a careful balance. You don't want people taking part in the trials purely for the money (i.e. doing something they wouldn't otherwise be comfortable doing), but you need to ensure they aren't disadvantaged by taking part in the trial.
I wouldn't call WSL hassle free for the user. Quite the contrary. And compiling stuff on Windows is a nightmare compared to Linux and macOS. It's become marginally better since you don't have to install the entire Visual Studio monstrosity anymore just to get a compiler that plays nice with the system. But it wasn't always like that. On macOS you could always install the necessary parts from Xcode without App store and activate it via command line.
Not really, for better or worse.

In many countries SMS was either crazy expensive, unreliable, wall gardened to death (can't message people on other carriers...) and had no traction in the first place.

Then phone calls are also crazy expensive: I'm looking at the phone plans right now and the main focus is the data amount. Phone call options are either to only allow for super short conversations for a flat fee (less than 5min per call, for a 25% increase in the monthly plan) or 30 min to an hour of phone call for double to triple the price of the plans.

Moving to an alternative is just the normal course given these incentives, and that's what people did in droves (looking at Japan for instance)

I found Optaplanner to be nice, but supremely unergonomic to use. I could replicate their example problems and not much else.

Of course, because why not. If you can take features away from an existing thing to make more money.
"If you tell me how much time a task will take, please don't specify the time in hours or days, but use these made up 'points' that mean different things to different people"

Also, many commenters saying this is in bad taste, badmouthing architects or assuming a victimized 'hurr programming is so hard' stance. I read it differently, as a critique of the software industry itself, about how we're utterly unable to get our clients to understand the realities of our work.

Noone in their right mind would ask for a house with 2-to-42 bedrooms. Yet the average IT worker somehow accepts this as normal in their software work. It would behoove us to get our clients to understand this, and not delegate that task to the scrumlords... who generally only make things more confusing and complex.
This is very real in the context of many locked down, tightly-regulated industries such as DoD manufacturing gigs with poorly-managed webs of IT and Engineering infrastructure. Data governance and security, change and configuration management, are all cross functional teams with their own political priorities, cultures, budgets, and requirements. Sometimes even separate tools anf platforms with zero integration or worse, financial redundancy.

It is pain to work in such an environment.

Amazon definitely also has it's share of billing issues.

A personal example would be that we reserved an instance based on information given by our AWS account manager.
Said instance turned out to have issues linked to my original question to the account manager who answered incorrectly.

The reserved instance team then refused to refund us but also refused to tell how much they would prorate if we were to upgrade instead.

Basically a protection racket.
For things that are well covered on stack overflow, it's a strictly better search engine.

eg say you don't remember the syntax for a rails migration, or a regex, or something you're coding in bash, or processpool arguments in python. ChatGPT will often do a shockingly good job at answering those without you searching through random docs, stack overflow, all the bullshit google loves to throw at the top of search queries, etc yourself.

You can even paste in a bunch of your code and ask it to fill in something with context, at which it regularly does a shockingly good job. Or paste code and say you want a test that hits some specific aspect of the code.

And yeah, I don't really care if they train on the code I share -- figuring out the interaction of some stupid file upload lib with aws and cloudflare is not IP that I care about, and i chatgpt uses this to learn and save anyone else from the issues I was having, even a competitor, I'm happy for them.

For a real example:

> can you show me how to build a css animation? I'd like a bar, perhaps 20 pixels high, with a light blue (ideally bootstrap 5.3 colors) small gradient both vertically and horizontally, that 1 - fades in; 2 - starts on the left of the div and takes perhaps 20% of the div; 3 - grows to the right of the div; and 4 - loops

This got me 95% of where I wanted; I fiddled with the keyframe percents a bit and we use this in our product today. It spat out 30 lines of css that I absolutely could not have produced in under 2 hours.
Huh, didn't know Optaplanner was forked. Bit sad, you would have thought it was good fit for IBM to all the enterprisey business automation stuff. Does Optaplanner have anyone left working on IBM(/RH) side?

Anyways, I wish the best for Timefold team, hopefully they can find success independently. With all the money sloshing around for all sorts of dumb AI projects, I think Timefold definitely deserves a portion too.

Well, we started with emulating humans producing text.

But then quickly pivoted to find tuning and instructing them to produce text as a large language model.

Which isn't something that existed in the text they were trained on. So when it didn't exist, they seemed to fall back on producing text like humans in the 'voice' of a large language model according to the RLHF.

But then outputs reentered the training data. So now there's examples of how large language models produce text. Which biases towards confabulations and saying they can't do the thing being asked.

And around the time the training data has been updated each time at OpenAI in the past few months they keep having their model suddenly refuse to do requests or now just...this.

Pretty much everything I thought was impressive and mind blowing with that initial preview of the model has been hammered out of it.

We see a company that spent hundreds of millions turn around and (in their own ignorance of what the data was encoding beyond their immediate expectations) throw out most of the value chasing rather boring mass implementations that see gradually imploding.

I can't wait to see how they manage to throw away seven trillion due to their own hubris.
Maybe the builder assumed they noticed too, and if they had said no the builder would try to explain.

"Why?" is given as a backup against a global catastrophe on earth.

Myself I doubt this, there's very few which would affect all of and only Earth. Gamma ray burst? Also Mars. Paperclip optimiser? Probably also Mars. Pandemic? If you're moving stuff between planets, probably also Mars.

Nuclear war and climate change combined won't leave this planet anything like as uninhabitable as Mars, though of course the converse is that the capacity to colonise Mars means the middle of the Sahara, the middle of Antarctica, all superfund cleanup sites, and the top of Mount Everest, all become easy to turn into friendly and pleasant cities you'd be happy to live in.
Also true for a while for some industries like finance.
> We also need to notarize the .app and the .dmg. Interestingly, you can only notarize .pkg, .dmg, and .app files (in .zips) — command-line tools can only be notarized if they’re embedded in one of the listed containers.

I don't think this is true, actually. I've been notarizing command-line builds of unxip by shoving it in a zip and uploading it to notarytool for a while: https://github.com/saagarjha/unxip/blob/main/release.sh. (You will note, amusingly, that I am suffering from the same -parse-as-library bug as the author.) After this is done I just chuck the zip file and upload the binary directly to GitHub. If you download the file from your browser and chmod +x it, you can double click on it and it runs. Obviously you can skip the chmod +x step by sending people the zip (which preserves permissions inside of itself).

Also, FWIW, Apple's tooling sucks but if you check Console while it evaluates the code sometimes it will tell you why it doesn't like it. Most of the evaluation code is open source, too, so you can look up log messages and errors there: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/Security
Well, akshually...

A major male:female difference relates to hippocampal volume, with large and robust performance differences in hippocampal dependent tasks between the sexes across mammalian species, inc humans. In this space you generally see the vole studies, where the monogamous prairie vole has a smaller HC than the hustler meadow vole. The going theory is most (97%) of mammalian species are not monogamous, thus the males needs to know where his ladies are at, which requires more spatial memory capacity ergo larger HC.

Curiously across species hippocampal function is boosted in post-partem females compared to females without pups/kids, suggesting an evolutionary adaption perhaps.

That's precisely why I never bothered with crypto. I figured even back in the days of early Bitcoin I would at the very least need a dedicated device like a mostly air-gapped laptop running my own wallet software to do transactions.
