Man. Very sorry for your loss.
from my personal reflections, it's hard to distinguish sharing feelings and simply complaining and becoming more and more negative in nature

sharing simply amplified the negative content within, it's like there is a negative thread in my hand, the more you share and put it into words the more you are following that thread going into a state where you shouldn't be

same goes for complaining how the life is unfair

and when it came to positive feelings, it seemed much better to do "little things" than sharing the feelings
that's funny, I literally thought it was just that, it'd be like a company being called programmers
I think the real question here is identifying a problem are you trying to solve for the world and figuring out if it’s actually a real problem that needs solving, past that it’s finding the right foundation and tools, whether it’s building on top of open ai or some other llm - that’s fine. if it requires a more tailored ai, then one could delve more into the research in R&D. why compete with another solution that already exists? just build on top or find another problem to solve?
x86_64 macOS has tier 1 rust platform support, which I believe means that it's guaranteed that you get a crash on stack overflow and you can't evade stack protection in safe rust.

It's not possible on all platforms, hence the tiers.

Apparently ARM64 macOS has tier 2 rust platform support, which might mean that that this is not true there, but maybe safe rust has some different unrelated soundness issue on this platform.

I only have very surface knowledge about the tier stuff, so maybe someone can correct me.

It might still make sense to pilot a ship manually for landing or proximity operations.

Even deep space maneuvers can be done manually if you know what you are doing - point ship engines in right direction and thrust for right number of seconds/minutes.

Sure, for stuff like orbital launch, some crazier Oberth effect burns or continuous thrust propulsion (ion, solar sail) you definitely want computer control.

Uh, if you ignore a legally issued subpoena you end up with an arrest warrant and are usually quite promptly arrested. If that subpoena obliges you to hand over equipment and records those records and equipment are forcibly seized in the process.

Sorry but 'the law has no teeth' isn't how things work. Subpoenas are, in fact, enforced. Routinely. That's what enables the justice system to work.

I'm also pretty sure they want this 'person S' quite badly indeed and considering they want all their socials since Jan 1 2016 I'd imagine piracy is just the start of what they're looking for.

Private offices and cubicles with high walls are the best if we are excluding remote.

Microsoft used to give most employees a private office in the late 90s to roughly the mid 2010s - and that was heaven. Collaboration was great because you could go to your coworker's private office or even bring people along for the much-vaunted in-person whiteboarding. It happened a lot. The only thing that was frowned upon was to leave your office door closed 100% of the time, but some people did just that anyway; that was similar to the remote experience, but at the office.

In mentioning the myriad of git UX "porcelain" offerings, an important historical point is missed: Torvalds couldn't just implement git due to the BitKeeper license.

So Linus essential wrote a data model, and others implemented the logic. The UX was always a train wreck because there was no UX.

Focusing on the data, then the logic, and punting the presentation layer has proven a unique and pervasive way to do a piece of software.

One is skeptical that this can be repeated for much of anything else. The reality that this originated as a linux kernel support tool is probably another factor in its rise.
Ooof. There are lots of things git does well (distributed development), things it doesn't do very well that were done better by (some) other systems before git was even built (automated merges), and things git just doesn't bother with doing well (looking at that command line syntax.)

There's a LOT of room for improvement, but there's no profit incentive for improvement, and let's be honest, git is very nice at it's price point, so we're likely at a local maxima for a while. Not the worst situation, but the world could be better.

Disclosure: I spent the 90s working on a different source code management system. People have _opinions_ on what makes a great SCM, and it's definitely not 'one size fits all'.
Parent described what he did, in what way did he "glorify" this?

I agree with your sentiment but I think in this case, it's misplaced.
There are two sides to that coin.

The people in autism research these days, at least on the sociological end of things, well tell you about the "double empathy problem" (after Milton, 2012 - it's enough of a "thing" now that it has its own wikipedia page). The idea is that if you put one autistic person in a group of "neurotypicals", it'll seem as if they are bad at relating to people - but in a group of (sufficiently high-functioning) autistic people, sometimes everyone gets on just fine, and if you put a single non-autistic person in a group of autistic people, an observer might conclude that they are the one having difficulty "reading the room" and relating to the unspoken norms of the group. It's as if, to make an analogy, autistic people are not worse at picking up "signals" from other people, they're just signalling on a slightly different wavelength.

And certainly, relating to others by sharing your own simliar stories is a big thing in some neurodiverse groups, where it is often experienced as a positive. But that then intersects with other cultural aspects, for example the stiff-upper-lib Brits versus outgoing Americans stereotype, with neurodiverse people acting as their own subculture if you like.

Sharing your own story is hardly a uniquely autistic trait though: imagine you meet a new co-worker, share that you like Nightwish, and they go "oh, I love them too! I saw them live in Helsinki back in 2022!" and before you know it, you've made a new friend over shared taste in music even if what they did is technically story-topping.

But, if you are line-managing a "neurotypical" person and they're in your office crying because of some bad thing that happened to them, it's an essential skill for your job to know that you don't make the story about you. Same if you're training to be a therapist.
> but what do you do if people have already been indoctrinated, and as a result are forcing other people in a way that restricts them both?

You smashed the nail on the head with this!
And it's basically another way of defining what the feminist movement defines as patriarchate.

Is keeping history of textual changes better than (also) keeping history of semantic changes? We focus so much on the representation (text in a programming language) that we might miss capturing intentions (when clear).

I love GIT and GIT is great for what it does, but most of the times I feel that what I need from a history is different than just text changes. Two simple examples: white-space changes and variable name changes could be ignored for some cases (of course, not for all, but that's the trick).

Such changes might be built on top of git (and some are today), but at some point new requirements might mean a different system.
Something similar happens with loudpeakers. Some people got so used to the distorted, boomy bass that was ubiquitous until recently, that they insist that speakers that don't distort have "no bass".

Yes, but this is really a pity in the specific case of Arithmetic Coding, because, unlike "more recent changes to the format", it's been in the standard since the very beginning - but is not supported by a lot of implementations due to software patents (which meanwhile expired, but their damage remains).
> "so I doubt possible added performance can matter much."

From the linked "Mozilla moving FireFox to Git" blog post:

> "a Mercurial and a Git mirror of the Firefox source repository [...] I think I just wanted the speed that Mercurial was not providing. Not that Mercurial was that slow, but the difference between a couple seconds and a couple hundred milliseconds was a significant enough difference in user experience for me to prefer Git"

> "as time was passing and the size and depth of the Mercurial repository was growing, these tools were showing their limits and were too slow for my taste, especially for the initial clone."

> "My user experience with Mercurial had reached a level of dissatisfaction that was enough for me to decide to take that script from a couple years prior and make it work for incremental updates. [...] You could get a full clone of mozilla-central in less than half an hour, when at the time, other similar tools would take more than 10 hours (needless to say, it's even worse now)."

> "the repository growth didn't take a break, and the Try repository was becoming an increasing pain, with push times quite often exceeding 10 minutes."

And in the comments:

> "There is at least one currently very active (but private) repository that is (much) larger than Mozilla’s at Jane Street. We (Octobus) are working with them to improve a lot of aspects of Mercurial’s speed."
Most likely it’s all the privacy changes . Try disabling some of the chrome://flags - they broke BroadcastChannel and many other features in 121, so I wouldn’t be surprised if your issue is more breaking changes in 122… the really shitty thing IMO is because of auto update they now can at a anytime break business applications without any regard to the financial impact.
>Does anyone else question this common piece of advice?

Absolutely. One thing I notice is that the people sharing this "advice" - while positioning themselves as amazing listeners - seem to have a disgust reaction to people sharing details about their own lives in a conversation.

Personally, if I have something I would like to speak about and feel heard about, I feel most heard when the other person is able to share some of their own thoughts and experiences. I absolutely do not feel heard when they completely remove themselves and their life from the conversation, and hit me with lifeless "open-ended questions" and "that sounds tough" platitudes that could have come from a blog post.

Lots of suburbs - especially the so-called exurbs - are places that used to be a small town and still maintain a main street, but with a lot of living areas close to the main street. These suburbs are also "semi-suburbs" of the town, if that makes sense, and maintain many of the small town amenities.

Fascinating! That does seem like the most likely explanation.

This reminds me of the ancient ice ponds that made ice thousands of years ago in Persia. I read somewhere that they were able to make ice through a combination of radiative and evaporative cooling at night temperatures around the same as you experienced, about 5C.
The thing is even if the git command is superceded i feel like it will remain the underlying tool. Like if someone wrote a better interface to git, I would still think it would be git underneath.

Just look at the concept of an MR, thats so, well used these days we forget that was not always a super thing and that many projects did and do use git over email
One more example the early spaceflight guidance computers were completely designed / engineered on paper in graph form, with mathematicians and engineers doing all the hard math work.

Assembly programmers would then turn the graphs into assembly using the best technique at the time, at moments having to use NOPs to cool down the ram.

For these people the source of truth was the graphs and the actual assembly was throwaway.

Did you have your own custom script for cloning an entire CVS repo?

I don't remember CVS having one out of the box, and just checking out a working copy via `pserver:` would leave you with a tree you couldn't even `diff` in a disconnected state IIRC.

...but also, if you create a local clone of the whole repo, and then commit a series of patches to it, how did you even manage to keep track of which ones weren't in upstream? I mean, keeping track of patches with the external `cvsps`/`quilt` tools wasn't monstrously difficult (even if it wasn't especially easy, either), but keeping track of which patch sets were in one repo but not another?

That to me is the critical tell. By all accounts the Bloomberg office model is very well regarded but Bloomberg himself sits in a cubicle with his directs around him in their own cubicles. There are break-out conference rooms of course just around them.

The CEO and directs should have a similar work situation to all the other office managers and their directs.
Very odd title and the story takes a while to get into it.
Unintentionally. I should probably have said "people" instead of "men" in that comment, because it's definitely possible also for women to take men more seriously than women in such situations.

I've also read about research that shows that when hiring, the people doing the hiring tend to be biased towards people who look like the people already doing the job. When they're white men, people tend to hire more white men, even when the person doing the hiring is not a white man and even when they're aware of this bias and of the need to hire with more diversity. And no, it wasn't because men were naturally better at that job, it was merely that the current demographic working that job create the bias, the prejudice, that they'd be better at that job. So clearly more diverse hiring is necessary merely to ensure that candidates can be judged in an unbiased way. Which is a bit contradictory, but that's the minefield that needs to be navigated to ensure everybody gets a fair chance.

Perhaps you're talking about vastly different systems, but FWIW I'm personally hoping that Pijul matures and sees some adoption.

I can see how people who are into the simplicity of the git on-disk format don't mind the downsides, but I personally hate spending time handling concurrency-related conflicts that the system could have handled for me (some of which are probably because I or my coworkers did not do the right incantations in the right order).
> I’ve played with PBO2 adjustment as I said, but it should be possible to reduce the voltage at the expense of a bit of performance.

Undervolting with PBO2 should not decrease peformance unless you have done something very wrong.

Ryzen CPUs have limit, max temperature, frequency, power, and voltage. The voltage curve follows a frequency curve so higher clock speed requires a higher voltage. A negative offset in PBO reduces the voltage required for a given frequency. It shifts down the voltage curve. Lower voltage typically means less heat and power draw so you can achive a higher clock speed without hitting temperature, power, or voltage maximums.

If your system is stable when undervolting you don't see a loss in performance, generally it improves because you are able to reach higher clock speeds before running into voltage or power limits. The exception is if you induce a rare issue called clock skew at extreme cases that i'm not even sure you can do with PBO2.
Not that I'd recommend browsing on an older, unpatched OS, but the modification in question is easy, and IMO worth the extra single click or keypress it introduces in exchange for eliminating "drive-by downloads" from questionable sites.

Chrome: Settings → Downloads → check "Ask where to save each file before downloading".

Edge: Settings → Downloads → check "Ask me what to do with each download".

Firefox: Settings → General → under "Files and Applications", check "Always ask you where to save files".

Safari (macOS): Settings → General → as "File download location", choose "Ask for each download". While you're here, uncheck "Open “safe” files after downloading" (Apple scare quotes "safe" appropriately, yet AFAIK still enables this option by default, even after it's been a factor in multiple exploits over the years).
in general that's a weakly positive signal for good engineering and work ethic in this kind of a field imo
Actually the Panamint range tops out at just over 11,000 feet, at Telescope Peak.
