Biblical metaphor maybe Pilate "what is truth?"

For me, post truth is the belief that truth and lying don't exist or that the truth is less important than the belief. That's different from intentional and willed lying to get an end. They don't believe they are lying.

I once had a colleague who told me in very serious terms "the truth doesn't matter" in relation to his and many others shared perceptions of a political issue. I rapidly disengaged from working with him. It is deeply scary.
It's definitely blending between sphere and torus, and then torus and sphere. Otherwise it would keep getting fainter as time went on.

As a German-Israeli, both of which are extremely direct cultures (in different ways), I feel there’s a lot of “dancing around” in American communication culture that seems silly.
The political system in Russia is closer to France if anything. But that's all on paper - the reality for both the justice system and the political one is obviously quite different and not in any sense German.

If we're talking about cultural influence, I'd also say that France had a lot more influence in that regard, especially literature-wise. French was a de facto standard "educated class" language for close to two centuries, with quite a few of the nobility learning it as their first language.

But, again, culturally Russia is by and large its own thing. The way I'd describe it is a European-style facade covering some unholy merger of Byzantium (the way it was understood in Muscovy, not necessarily how it actually was) and the Golden Horde. The latter part goes all the way back to the Grand Duchy of Moscow; the former, mostly to Peter the Great.

Walmart to rewrite F# system using Java
“We are embarking on a journey to migrate from current event sourced system that is completely built in F# with a strong focus on the functional programming paradigm. Existing system is designed around Event Sourcing/CQRS principles and is a highly distributed system of hundreds of microservices running in Azure Kubernetes on Walmart’s Cloud Native Platform. All communication is done with Kafka. The existing system is being migrated to a next generation event driven best in class platform that is built in JAVA and has the reusability, high fault tolerance and high availability as its core architectural tenet.”

> just my mind accumulates information like very fast and things pop up quickly

People who think that happens to them often turn out to just talk a lot of irrelevant and useless drivel (very much exactly like a LLM; just keep generating stuff no one wants to hear as part of the conversation); they talk just to talk with the excuse that they think they are very smart. They might be if they would shut up and use the listening time to actually form a better return. Not saying this is you, but saying ‘accumulates information very fast’ about yourself is a somewhat red flag imho.

It is rarely the case, even for famous smart people; most listen and then take a bit of time to come back with an answer; interrupting is terrible, more so when it’s not really relevant to what the actual point was (just hanging on to the first sentence and not listening to anything else until you can make your point about that sentence even though that was not the point of the discussion, at all). Or say they have to ponder it somewhat longer instead of having an instant response. Of course it depends on the subject; in political talks it seems more normal to blatantly step on someone talking, but then again, not all talks are political.

Did the court de cassation overturn every single detail pertaining to the original judgement? Kinda feels like they should be able to speed up the new judgement, and only change whatever detail or details the superior court said were wrong.

Well, I don't know much about this subject, but these delays make justice less just, and I don't understand how this is not obvious to everyone but the guilty.
Regarding range, sure in huge Canada or if driving 3000km in one day/night is something you do often, then maybe a gasoline car is better. But for the average person who is commuting, visiting friends and family in the region (< 200-500km), sightseeing, holidays and business trips then I think an EV has no problems with range today and even less in two years.

And the time of charging the EV and filling up the gasoline car is about the same I would say as paying works the same (credit card). With the EV after it's plugged in you go to the rest room or restaurant and when you come back, off you go. With the gasoline car you have to stand there while filling up, then go parking, then go to the rest room. At the end of the day, it's the same. And the charging points will grow in line with the EV adoption. It will just explode once we reach a tipping point in a couple of years.

Remember with an EV you can leave home fully charged and when you arrive to your hotel or family or office you can charge again (sure maybe your family/friends have no fast charger yet, but they sure will very soon and you can charge slowly overnight with a regular outlet). With a gasoline car you have to make sure to go fill up before you leave and when you arrive you have to go to a gas station instead of charge it at the parking space you park at anyway.

Regarding environment, when it comes to real trash (plastics and such) you might be right that it is shipped to a poor country and dumped in the sea, but for metals I'm quite sure it is recycled. Metal recycling has existed for decades and is a profitable and relatively local business. Don't forget that gasoline cars consist of a huge amount of metals too.
Not only that, but there are even studies that question the usefulness of ~~investing~~ spending money in computer devices.

All that Aforementioned enthusiasm and illusion were implemented into the educational systems without first assessing its scientific foundation.

It’s like if surgeons started using plastic knives just because stainless steel looks dated, for example.

These grumpy outdated Cassandras, who question the validity of change for the sake of change must be ignored in their laments because computer devices are very expensive and have a short lifespan, making them perfect for draining public resources

How do they expect anyone to say yes to those requests? They don't have power of discovery over some person not directly involved in their lawsuit, so are they just hoping that this person not only will comply but actually has any of this data? It seems Mr. S is stonewalling them and I'm not sure what they can do about it, even with a subpoena.

Any lawyers want to answer what the recourse is for someone who is just ignoring your requests?
We're in software. Just out-compete with a superior product. If you're more productive with one of these things, you will iterate faster and be more agile. Pick a good space and out-execute the incumbent in a market someone's demonstrated there.

The BRICS is also a well defined group of nations that has little in common besides some investment banker report from how their economies correlated in the early 2000s and bureaucratic plans for mutual currency swap.

Slavery is a difficult topic in that regard, and not kust because it is slavery. My yard stick was contemporary poeple and movements seeing the thing as universally bad, not just some rare individuals here and there. With slavery, we have a movement against it as far back as the 17th century (might be wrong here, didn't read it up again).

You are absolutely right so, what is acceotable or not is highly context and culture driven. And even in the Western world, we replaced slavery with exploitive employment methods as early as the industrial revolution and do so to this day.
Example:

You grab all Albums. Then you make a table of the albums with name and artist name. The artist name is in a separate table linked with a foreign key.

So the code might be:

for album in Album.objects.all():
print(album.name, album.artist.name)

Django will need to query from the foreign key ID (album.artist_id) into the Artist table to get the name of the artist. This means every loop step does a query.

So "N+1" because it's N queries (every album) plus 1 (the original "all albums" query).

The fix in Django is to do `Album.objects.all().select_related('artist')`. Then there will be just one query.

Bit depth is only useful at reducing the noise floor, the lower the bit rate the higher the noise.

That’s why producers (mixing many tracks in a session) want to use high bit rate stems, because they are summing the noise from n tracks.

It’s a pointless exercise for DJs or anyone listening to a single source to use a higher bit depth.

>Do you act on ideas or shiny packaging?

The outward appearance and concept of something can indicate bias or quality where there may not be any. See hype around Yeezye shoes, or Kayne's white shirt, or the utilization of netlify essentially repackaging Amazon. An idea is meaningless without the ability to act.

People ripped this comment to shreds, meanwhile the brain-swell of folks here would absolutely criticism if something was posted that showed lack of due diligence and due care. Watching the videos of this content, the videos are just scripted versions of the text in the markdown files, with no slides or auxiliary content to show value. Impressive really.

Further, I don't think anyone took my comment holistically as it sits. I fondly remember seeing a lot of developer advocates talking about Azure and how wonderful the Cloud is, but they showed a demo, their own personal PC was poorly configured and managed, and they were using incorrect taxonomy for quite a few things -- leading people down the wrong path of growth and learning. So yeah, the details that are on the shiny package matter, for sure.

Yeah I have the same experience with Firefox. I guess that their limited budgets has something to do with that.

As well as context. I mostly ran into this with webextensions and various cases that a lot of extension developers likely run into that issue less often. It seems, from the outside, that web extensions just generally have a low priority within the team. Which seems, for webextensions, seems to be a very small team anyway as I kept seeing the same three names or so.

The productivity multiplier does not have to be constant over the entire employee base to make it worth it. Also good direction / avoiding bad direction is one of the biggest productivity modifiers but it is harder to measure since it may look like people are productive but what they are producing is not beneficial.

I can’t give specific examples without calling out some projects.

But usually it’s a misunderstanding of what derivative works are. E.g building an extension to a GPL app. Many don’t believe that simply importing a GPL Python module is enough to make your extension have to comply to GPL.

Or things like what constitutes distribution. E.g employees vs contractors vs third party collaborators etc…

But when I have to deal with said project owners, they bring up that the GPL is about the spirit of the license, not the exact words. They often say not to worry about litigation.

This case doesn’t specifically clarify those terms but it does highlight that GPL violation is a serious issue that can’t just be treated as a suggestion.

That any lawsuit has taken place and won means that

1. I can point to cases where the license choice is impactful when working with existing projects or when setting up new OSS projects in my industry

2. It also means that the license proponents may feel more empowered (as they should) to take action against infringement.

Basically, very few people take software licenses as seriously as they should. Cases like these help make them a more serious matter.

The more seriously people take it, the easier my job gets for multiple reasons.

And since someone might ask, the license I advocate for the most is Apache 2.0. It covers the most ground, with the most clarity and the most protections for all parties involved.

Beautiful, poetic article and photos. In a parallel universe I would spend my life documenting the art in engineering, the pride and dedication to doing a great job. There isn't enough celebration of this.

I had a photo on my wall in college of the inside of a large safe, showing the locking mechanism. The parts resembled a Swiss watch, engraved, engineered to perfection. All this was normally hidden from view within the door's enclosure. This meant everything to me, doing a great job isn't reserved only for when your work is visible.

It sounds like the reason it took so long was that they had to decide whether this was a copyright claim or a breach of contract claim.

Could someone more versed on license law clarify this, at first glance it seems like an obvious breach of contract if they've just used the entire Lasso library and not followed the license. Was orange copying specific parts of the library and hoping nobody notices?
In Observable Framework data work can be done before hand with Python or anything else really. JavaScript enjoys best integration into browser which is hard to deal with from server side.

"I once had a colleague who told me in very serious terms "the truth doesn't matter" in relation to his and many others shared perceptions of a political issue."

It is rare, that you find someone to be so honest and conscious about it, but I found that most who are engaged with politics share that sentiment. The own side is right and the other side is wrong, just by general principle, not because of facts.

Doublethink is what Orwell called it. Being able to believe something, while rationally (potentiall) knowing it is wrong.

As someone who spends most of his life and work focused on more openly expressing how I feel and wanting others to do the same, I'm curious to explore the other side as well.

I think one of the largest conflicts that I've encountered with this work is that a lot of culture, philosophy, religion, etc., seems to advocate for more emotional suppression. That the goal is to detach and have a quiet, steady, peaceful existence, absent of conflict, but also absent of too much connection.

And if those groups advocate for more suppression, to start to express more can create some deep conflict and possibility of ostracism or excommunication. For example, many people consider it to be an emotional affair if you say how you honestly feel to someone who is not your exclusive romantic partner. Many families consider it the ultimate betrayal to share family secrets with those outside the family. Etc.

So when I think of more men doing it, I worry that if not all men did, then culture could have that strong clash. Maybe we already have it. Some advocating to open up more, to be more aware of how we're feeling, and some advocating to go in the opposite direction.

I would love to talk about this more and I worry this post is already long enough for now :-)
