Yeah. I use them now and then for a current movie. But between the limited selection and the fact that I'll probably have to hop in the car for a dedicated trip the next day to return the movie, I use them pretty rarely.

Commenting on the propensity of a comment to generate downvotes is also a great way to guarantee downvotes, especially if you're not providing much else to the discourse but a verbal upvote.

Discourse on rhetoric.
I love that you put together a great explanation to go with it! Well done!
Well, as long as they don't move onto mailing letter bombs a la the Unabomber, it actually sounds pretty appealing to me too.

Edit: I see I'm getting a couple downvotes which is fine; I get that the joke isn't in such good taste. The thing is that Kaczynski had a lot of the same critiques of modernity. Perhaps if he had not been a murderer/terrorist, his writing would be a bit more respected, but of course it is more likely he would just be an unknown weirdo living in the woods.

The actual problem is production. Airlines don't want to buy the MAX. The issue is is, if you want to order 100 A320s or 100 A220, you are gone wait a long, long time.

So you have two options, no planes, or the 737 MAX. Those are their options.
> the option of reducing energy usage (and standard of living)

That was never an option. It still isn’t.
This topic is so politicized that the transit lovers don't feel free publicly acknowledging all of the costs. For instance, one manager of the local bus company said that while new city buses cost $800k+++, they're a good deal when spread out over 12 year and all of the passengers. So I asked him to include the cost of the driver-- and the driver's benefits-- and that totally changed the equation. It can reach $1m/year to fully staff a bus over a year. Suddenly, the hardware isn't the biggest expense over the lifespan of the bus.
>All they had to do was not not change things, but they continued to force junk on me that I don't need, take power away from me, and spy on me

Managers have to justify their role... so they add stuff and come up with new money-making schemes...

grafana is built more for operational and timeseries data, but not so optimal for complex analytical queries. Ex: up-to-second data on cpu load on a host.

superset is the flip side of grafana; not good for up-to-second updates, but good for complex queries. Also, non-time series stuff. Ex: Which customer groups bought which products for all time? <— that type of BI stuff.
True, though it's subversive in its current form because there's just not much commercial success to be had from it. The kid who's into metal is the weirdo (I should know; I was that weirdo) and the weird are a naturally-limited market.

You have to be in it for the love of the game.
What a cool experiment (a Mars helicopter!). I can't wait until we (humanity) have "boots on the ground" there to make this sort of experimentation a few step changes quicker.
We weren't technically savvy at all, but still found a loophole. There was a version of the software that crashed after you had successfully connected. As long as you didn't update, you were ad-free.
> I've found that line comments (which must end in a newline, regardless of where they appear) are one of the major sources of complexity in writing a good formatter.

Indeed they are!

Most line comments appear in places that already have forced line breaks (and no choices), and thus aren't a problem. E.g. comments in function bodies or at the top level.

But then there's nasty cases like:

[ 1, // one
2]

and

let x = 5; // long comment that doesn't fit on the line

An important thing to remember is that you're writing code to construct a Notation, and you can do whatever you like in that code. E.g. for the first example, disable the single-line layout if there's a `//` comment inside, and for the second example, move the comment to the line above if it's too long.

There's also a small modification to the printing algorithm which can help, that I didn't describe in this post. The "softer rule" can be enforced by the printer. When picking between `x | y`, it can pick `x` if it fits on the line and does not contain a newline inside of a flat. (EDIT: switched to better modification.)

EDIT: munificent, how does dart-fmt handle that second example with the long end-of-line comment?

It’s not necessarily a bad thing. Most people don’t know that TSMC exists, or what Microsoft does beyond Windows and Xbox (which are a small fraction of its business).
The book "Gravity's Rainbow" had this as a theme throughout. That Capitalism will co-op anything that it finds useful. That there's no way to subvert it as it will pick up on, embrace, and exploit it for profit. Amazon selling books on how to dismantle global capitalism, etc. Pynchon's only solution was to completely fly under the radar as much as you possibly can. It makes sense he doesn't do interviews, or distribute anything other than the words in his books.

Mark Fisher is an interesting philosopher. For those that don't know he was a part of the ""Cybernetic Cultural Research Unit" [1] at Warwick University led by Nick Land. These guys were crazy but from their insanity some extremely interesting observations and ideas came out of it. In particular, "Accelerationism"[2] which has become very popular in the AI world, e/acc, etc. Fisher was more of the left wing side of it and Land from the right wing. In fact, Land is a reactionary today and their ideas are quite interesting as opposed to the mainstream left/liberal Capitalist ideals of today's mainstream.

Nick Land is an interesting fellow.

> I suppose a major difference is that infuential people back then didn't seem as concerned with being famous and viral

They started caring a lot about this as soon as they had the printing press, take a look at the career of Erasmus for example.
Your formulation is once again ambiguous. Instead of clearly stating that Monty had to open 998 empty doors, you state that he did that. Which could mean he happened to do that.

Had to vs happened to makes a big difference.

Had he opened them at random and by (extremely small) chance they happened to be empty, the odds are quite different.
So, funny thing. Most of my experience of the US has been San Francisco and its immediate area. From my perspective, it's very road-oriented, and has an astonishing amount of space given over to parking; giant tech company offices and new apartment blocks are side by side with massive parking lots. You just don't really see that much in large European cities.

Anyway, looks like it's 3% based on that map (though the area I was primarily thinking of falls just outside their definition of 'central', I think), compared to _26%_ for Atlanta. I'm having trouble visualising what that even looks like.
Same here! I canceled HBO/Max, Hulu, and Disney and now I just buy discs by the armload at the local used books and records stores. The prices range from 99¢ to $10. The trigger was I wanted to watch The Abyss, the longer edition, and it's just not available anywhere. The DVD version looks great and sounds amazing compared to the tragically bad downmixes I get from streaming. After a few months of doing this now I have dozens of great movies on disc.
Not only that, one climbed onto and then into the cockpit to secure the pilot.

That pricing feels backwards.
“Especially the higher up you go in terms of seniority – therefore you have more power and control – the more those sorts of screening tests and psychometric tests are needed,” he said.

So the ones who need it most will never be screened. Got it.
Hi, as it’s come up a few times in the comments: Tea completely unrelated to Homebrew other than happening to have the same creator. Homebrew has zero connection to anything related to Tea and Max hasn’t been involved with Homebrew for the best part of a decade.

Isn’t it best if the application developers just release their application on GitHub or similar, then package maintaners can package the software for their specific package manager? That’s how it works for many Linux distros, e.g. Debian etc etc.

I don't understand how what you've just said isn't the same as what we would currently call a social democracy with a capitalist economy. Specifically, "decentralized planning" is a synonym of capitalism and the other concepts your using exist already, enabled by the capitalist ethos of allowing the individual to use their capital as they see fit.
I find gemini advanced better than gpt4. it is my go to option now.
Hey, thanks for responding! That's reassuring, but...how much input would Max still have to Homebrew if he chose to "return"? Like, if tomorrow Max decides that Homebrew is a great vector for another crypto scam, will the existing group of maintainers be able (and willing) to reject any changes in that direction?

As far as I can see all are either open source or developed by small companies.

The problem is the incentives large public companies have are to do well short term, keep investors happy and get the management their bonuses this year, or maybe next.

Pithily put. I can definitely attest that this is my plan and the plans of a few others I know. Home baked bread and sour dough starter feel pretty anti-corporate to me.

That said, I do recognise that going off grid requires heavy machinery and tools that are produced by the biggest of corporations... but somehow Milwaukee tools seems less evil than Nike, because Milwaukee is selling you just tools, versus an identity, a brand, a value system etc.
Alan Kay mentioned this recently at a UCLA talk [1] in February. It's known as the "The Friedman doctrine" after the American economist Milton Friedman.

A) Milton Friedman: Shareholder profits > All. "...the social responsibility of business is to increase its profits. This shareholder primacy approach views shareholders as the economic engine of the organization and the only group to which the firm is socially responsible. As such, the goal of the firm is to increase its profits and maximize returns to shareholders." [2]

B) Peter Drucker: Customer has primary focus. "A company's primary responsibility is to serve its customers. Profit is not the primary goal, but rather an essential condition for the company's continued existence and sustainability." [3]

Yes, I agree. However a lot of their forward facing projects seem to be effective abandon-ware (few people interested in contributing, competing more popular solutions based on forks, or just no longer relevant).

These projects don't give the apache foundation an appearance of importance or relevance, rather they make it look rather rundown.
There's a similar scenario described in "How To" by Randall Munroe, where he asks astronaut Chris Hadfield if you "could land a plane by rolling it on it's side and catching the arrest hook on the cable hanging from a crane?" Chris is skeptical it would work, but answers seriously and references the frequency of small planes getting caught in powerlines & towers.
One comparable tool to LLMs in software history is the spreadsheet. Which also defines a new / different abstraction level that doesn't require "programming". While it didn't cause the death of programming, a lot of non-technical people can get a lot of work done without programmers, that in the past may have required months of dev work.

One of those things we take for granted now, but was absolutely transformative in the history of computing
Punk rose to prominence, in part, because of their acceptance of technology. They used technology that was once the expensive and in the domain of conservative corporations that was turned into accessible and cheap ways to disseminate ideas.

Xerox machines were prominently used to create flyers for shows and distribute zines. Cassette tapes were copied and passed around to anyone who wanted one. VHS was used to record shows and distribute other media. Lowered cost for TV transmission meant not only punk was a topic that could be seen on TV but that local access shows could be used to disseminate media further.

"Punk" is tied to the aesthetics of brightly colored hair, Mohawks, patches on jackets, jack boots etc. which coerces anyone who makes claims of being punk in the modern era into a anachronistic pastiche of what punk was in the late 1970s or early 1980s, with washed out "xerox effect" flyers or physical zines. Aesthetics aside, punk was primarily about a DIY ethos of using whatever tools were available to create art, discuss politics or create a scene.

The modern day equivalent exists, we just don't call it "punk" because it doesn't have the aesthetics attached. You want to know what modern day punk-rock looks like? It's not emulating some juvenile interpretation of Meditations, it's standing up Mastodon social networks, using Nostr, advocating for the freedom of Julian Assange, creating custom AI models that diagnose breast cancer, pushing libre/free/open source, creating art installations with custom electronics, and on and on.

There's one aspect of punk, not the whole aspect but one splinter faction, that was defeatist and pretty much dead on arrival. I only skimmed the article but that's the vein of punk rock the article seems to be channeling. Any movement that positions itself as a rejection of culture is doomed to fail, either because it fizzles out or because it becomes incorporated. The measure shouldn't be how contrary a movement is, it should be how it's trying to shape culture for the better.
In my opinion, todays true counterculture is conservative religious communities.

There is nother more counter to the cultural moment then being a traditionally moral, upright citizen who doesnt do drugs, doesnt lie, cheat, steal, has their libido under control, is reliable, whose existence is profitable to the rest of the world (not neccessarily economically, just mean someone who contributes more than they take : financially, emotionally, etc)

Thats about as counterculture as you can get.
The host’s motives don’t matter at all. If the first choice is a goat, then the host does not have any choice about the door to open, so their intent is irrelevant. If the first choice is a goat, then the outcome is the same regardless of the door the host chooses.

The host does not really have any agency here.

The rules are intended to confuse people and trick them into thinking both remaining doors have the same probability. I can see how this would favour the house on average because once people committed and chose a door, they are invested and would tend not to change their mind. But the host’s actions have no effect. And even then, this might be an intuition, but does not provide any understanding as to what exactly happens.

I'm really interested in getting stronger opinions here about how to set people up for success. Being the founder of a feature flag company I feel like I'm a rope dealer.

I'm really interesting in providing good authorization primitives as well. This is kinda the whole reason/vision for why Prefab exists. If you have an authorization tool and a separate feature flag tool and a separate billing tool. You're going to be tempted to do some weird un-holy things. If you can use one provider for it, then we can really help when it comes to putting things in the right place. My dream is that you can type user.can_do?(:thing) and get back a response that has checked the authorization, ff & entitlements system and gives you a clear and comprehensible answer.

The central tension is between popularity and counterculture.

By definition, you cannot have popular counterculture, as it just becomes "the culture."

However, most of the capital assets of culture promotion are also tied to popularity (e.g. mass-market media publishing, advertising). Denied access, counterculture exists in the woods, but most people don't know.

Which is why you see truer counterculture move closer to popular culture when those assets are (usually temporarily) democratized during technological shifts (e.g. the 1960s and 1990s).

But hey, maybe I just miss zines...
The "model" vs "question" thing is really annoying as there's no real difference from the user's perspective, and it's easy to accidentally convert a model back to a question without noticing when you publish something. You notice when you try to drill into the chart. There's a lot of annoying manual labor in metabase, e.g. I want to filter something into 10 different charts and I need to duplicate it 10 times and change a filter on each one. Still yeah joins are nice. A non-bugged aggregate count/sum as a window function would be nicer.

The advantages of physical keys are less numerous than you may think. The skill floor necessary to pick a physical lock is higher but the skill ceiling to pick "any" physical lock is a lot lower than the skill ceiling to pick "any" properly engineered digital locks.

Of course proper engineering is hard and the skill floor will possibly always the dominant thing in news cycles because of the ability to automate the breaks that makes the skill floor really stupidly low. It's a brand new age of "amateur thieves". What won't make as much news is that skill ceiling raise that comes with it and something of the end of an age of "professional thieves". (The final retirements of some of the "Pink Panther" classes of criminals.)

To be fair, some of that fear from such news is perfectly valid. Few of us are likely to be intentionally targeted by professional thieves, but many of us could easily be the accidental targets of amateurs.

Is it different from https://docs.mistral.ai/guides/function-calling/ ?
In a way yes. If we only settled for mature tech ever, we wouldn’t get anywhere. However, even for new ideas and abstractions complexity should always be avoided. All else equal, less complexity is better.
I don't piss on anyone, regardless of their age, for looking out at the world and wishing for something different, something better.

Even approaching 60 years old I am still doing the same kind of searching. It's not a fashion for me, I don't wear it on my sleeve. But perhaps even because I am older, I am increasingly unhappy with the bed that was already made for me when I was born.

So often I find myself wondering (sometimes aloud), "How did the world get to the way it is now? If you were to design, plan a society you would never have made it as complicated as this."

It's as though we begrudgingly go along with it because what else can you do? I think when you're young you try to fight it, and therein lies the punk spirit. But you eventually muster out of the revolution and, tired of tilting against windmills, you instead try to make it work for you.

Regardless, I still don't like it and still try to envision what changes would make the world a better place.
I think the author is writing specifically about fashion and pop culture as a component of capitalism. The author would probably say that making pants for women was an effort to expand into a new demographic of customers, not to expand women's rights. Essentially, all movements are merely a product. Civil rights are the byproduct. And following that theory, the author predicts that LGBT culture, as a fashion product, will fade. For example, we'll probably stop seeing the force feed of obligatory LGBT scenes in film, to be replaced with obligatory <insert pop movement> scenes instead.
Apple Arcade: axed games, declining payouts, disillusioned studios
I agree. It is quite worry that the word fascist is used so loosely because we forget what it really means. Even worse, the same is happening to the better defined term Nazi.
And the risk they're most concerned with is the business ceasing to function.

I worked at a F500 that used VMWare; they'd probably pay a 12x subscription fee. Not because they want to, but because they started trying to get rid of their mainframe 30 years ago and 70 something percent of their business still relied on the mainframe last I was there a decade ago.

VMWare will likely go the same. It'll take them a year or two to PoC an alternative and get contracts signed, another 5 to move the low hanging fruit, and a decade to finish off the long tail of stuff that won't migrate easily.

We're talking migrating stuff running versions of Java that were EoLed a decade ago, using an app container (like Tomcat) that was also EoLed a decade ago, and trying to get that all working on a new infra stack.

And it's not just one of them, there are thousands of apps, many of which are outdated or have bizarre vendor requirements you'd likely never accept (like "we will not support you if you run this bog-standard Django app on a VM").

Stuff like this moves slooooowwww, especially at companies who only use tech to enhance their primary business (as opposed to tech being their primary business).
