Every parent wants this, but how do you define "better off"? I won't be handing a large pile of cash to my children, mostly because to me, them being "better off" means that they are able to build the lives they want. When I look at families where the parents gave their kids a large amount of wealth, it seems rare that the kids have been better off for it.

You don't need the larger/smarter models for most "assistant" use cases. Small language models like Phi-2 can be enough.
This is the sort of situation where I'll consider progressive testing initially - i.e. write out the existing warnings to a file that you commit, add a test that fails if you get any that aren't in the file.

As you fix the inherited ones you can regenerate the file, hopefully smaller each time.

"If I don't have time to fix all of this -now-, I can at least make sure it can't get any -worse- in the mean time" is a very useful approach when automating the 'make sure' is something quick enough that you can find time for that.

My source is gone from the web. It was by someone who grew up in a provincial city. Summarising from memory: Anyone who had a choice (e.g. one parent from Moscow and one from the frowned-upon region) would do well to ① pick a muscovite name/spelling and ② tick "russian" on an unnamed form he filled in when he became a student. And this situation is/was common in that kind of town.

I assumed it was a census form because of Wikipedia: "In the 2021 census, roughly 81% of the population were ethnic Russians, …" which seems to say that the census forms ask about ethnicity, doesn't it?

It is a good book, but it isn't completely candid about one part of the FT's investigation.

When Dan McCrum was under threat of arrest in Germany, that was because Paul Murphy, Dan's editor, did in fact give away to some of his contacts the fact that they were coming out with a negative story on Wirecard and the time it would be published. Murphy has form for trading his own scoops with stock traders for favours. The Wirecard recording of one of Murphy's mates talking about shorting Wirecard to take advantage of the story is accurate and had Murphy (but I very much doubt McCrum) bang to rights.

McCrum's explanation for this is that Murphy's associates knew the exact time of the story being released because they had happened to guess it by sheer luck. Clearly if that's what Murphy told him he should have been a little more skeptical.

Ultimately the FT's internal investigation into Paul Murphy's behaviour and BaFin's into McCrum's work were abandoned for the same reason: the Wirecard revelations were legit, and much more serious than Murphy's breaches of journalistic ethics.
> This sounds like another building service I don't control. There's already too much magic in publishing transpiled TypeScript packages but at least the current tools let me control exactly what artifacts get pushed out.

For tools that natively support TypeScript, you can directly consume the TypeScript source code. No transpilation necessary. The complexities are only introduced (well not really introduced, just moved somewhere else) for tools that do not natively support JS.

> The "web standard" part is meaningless considering that most production websites will bundle the files together as part of their build/optimization process for size and loading speed, leaving only a giant chunk(s) that resembles nothing like the original ES modules.

That doesn't matter. If everyone settles on one standard, even if you do post process, tools become simpler. The idea is not that you must ship your code unbundled to the browser. It is to reduce the amount of complexity incurred in the process from source -> dist. I am sure you agree that the lower the difference between source and dist, the easier debugging and developement in general are :)

> A super of npm means that the packages created for this repository will not work in the npm ecosystem. What is this if not a "replacement" of the npm registry and further fragmentation of the JS ecosystem?

They do work in npm. In npm packages you can depend on JSR packages, and on JSR you can depend on npm packages.

> This makes the already complicated module resolution logic in most bundler/packaging tools even more complicated as they must account for the intricacies of another package manager. A house of cards being stacked on another house of cards...

Nope! JSR is not a package manager. JSR is only a runtime. When you install into a node_modules folder, the layout in this folder is the same between JSR and npm packages. So any downstream tool does not even need to know JSR is in the loop - it just works. This is one of the key points to ensure easy adoption of JSR by anyone.

> It seems like every benefit that this project offers can be fixed in the current ecosystem by better client-side tooling that enforces standards during the publishing process while keeping full backward compatibility with over a decade of packages published and without fragmenting the ecosystem.

I understand this.

The problem is the following: npm is owned by GitHub/Microsoft, and GitHub/Microsoft does not care about npm. To GitHub, npm is a cost center. npm has no dedicated product manager at GitHub. Last I heard, npm has _two_ dedicated engineers working on it. The last real new feature npm shipped was package provenance (last year). It took npm 5 years to ship the file browser (because GitHub/Microsoft did not care about npm, and thus effectively froze all feature dev work on npm).

If we want innovation in the space, we need to do it in a way that a) keeps backwards compat with npm (which JSR does, both ways), but b) we need to move away from npm in the long term. JSR is an attempt at this (while trying to stay within the constraints posed).
I get where you're coming from, but frankly: nah. If you are so in-the-rut that you can't switch, say, text editors or IDEs and are compelled to have an Incredibly Normal Day about it, you're probably not actually possessed of the plasticity to be somebody I want to work with.

I use vim, IntelliJ, Visual Studio, and VSCode at least once every two weeks apiece, and it's no skin off my back to switch. Do thou likewise.

esm.sh is a decent solution for this. It's not totally ideal... but it'll turn NPM modules into ES6-compatible URLs no problem.

> Instant money transfer means instantly draining someone's bank account with no recourse. Checks have plenty of opportunities to stop the money, so you can write a check on a Sunday as easily as a Wednesday.

This argument doesn't actually work; the period during which you can recover a check that shouldn't have been valid is (much) longer than the settlement period. This immediately shows that instant transfer does not mean instantly draining someone's account with no recourse. The recourse period isn't related to the settlement period.

Tesla could do this, because at initial strges, they relied on Lidar, Radar and other high precision, specialized sensors, because they were used for mapping the terrain.
After millions miles driven, these sensors no longer need to serve their mapping purpose, because the areas have already been mapped & safe passages have been created. Just like a real, experienced driver, who knows the roads, all they need are Motion Sensors, GPS for correction & depth sensing color cameras, for handling infrequent dynamic scenarios.

There is no shell game–it isn't even that clever. Amazon, Google, Apple, etc., ignore the SEC rules around categorization requirements when reporting revenue. The SEC either doesn't have the will or the agency to enforce its own rules, so nothing is done about it. This has been a thing for decades.
When would I want to use JSR? The "Why JSR?" section simply says JSR is a superset of NPM that can be used with any javascript package manager. But NPM itself can also be used with any javascript package manager as far as I know. It seems like the benefit they're trying to add is strict type support for packages, but the fact that it's a superset of NPM means all existing packages that lack types are still supported by JSR. So, what benefit is so great that it's worth segmenting the ecosystem?

Side rant: not at all a fan of the decision to punish libraries ("slow types") that use type inference by reducing their score.
Hello! Daft developer here - we don’t directly use Polars as an execution engine, but parts of the codebase (e.g. the expressions API) are heavily influenced by Polars code and hence you may see references to Polars in those sections.

We do have a dependency on the Arrow2 crate like Polars does, but that has been deprecated recently so both projects are having to deal with that right now.

Above a certain level of wealth, the game is no longer about wealth. It's about power.
That's not really what "superset" means, so I think you might want to change the wording.
We must be talking about completely different things, because in no way shape or form is a "power line" associated with any via ferrata I've done in Italy or Austria.

Further, equipment depends on difficulty. Some via ferratas are really just some metal cables to help keep your balance over small crossings, while others are traversing sheer cliffs and peaks with obviously fatal safety implications. It would be silly to require safety equipment for the former, while it'd be silly not to for the latter.
"Chance and Order", Stanisław Lem (1984 Autobiography)
After reading the "Why JSR?" article I still don't understand why this exists.

It looks like it has a few niceties but also some limitations. To catch on you need to convince some significant segment of both package publishers and consumers to switch to it. That means there needs to be some killer feature they just can't get with the existing registries, and I'm not seeing anything like that.
I've been in situations where even without access to the people knowing which of them wrote something gives me a better idea of how to backwards infer what (and of course sadly occasionally 'if') they were thinking while writing the code.

Then again, I think most of the tells for that for me are around the sort of structure that would survive reformatting anyway.

I have to re auth on new terminal window periodically but the UX is pretty seamless
When I worked in public accounting, the idea was that you slaved away as an associate making relatively nothing but would reap the fruits of your labor at the senior level (and increasingly more so as you promoted higher). Most wouldn’t make it to senior or would but would jump ship as soon as they were promoted. There was a built in turnover rate at the lower levels that was very high.

My cohort hit senior in 2020 right when we shifted to work from home. The business made the decision that the economic environment was too uncertain and skipped the annual raises across the board, including for promotions. Suddenly, we were seniors with the pay of associates. 2020 saw record revenue for the firm (they didn’t reveal expenses), and it also saw the largest productivity increase ever. I couldn’t believe it. People were working almost twice as much with their pay was frozen around $70,000 while working as seniors with a masters degree and CPA license.

When things opened back up, that period did a lot of lasting damage to the people that had been “brainwashed” by the system. I saw many people who I think would have become mindless robots change their outlook completely and leave. For me, it was the catalyst to switch into software engineering where I no longer felt like I had to play the game of working more and more to keep up with the others who seemingly never slept, particularly in busy season. Staying up at the office until 2am on my birthday is something I hope I never have to do again.

I’m sure the firm recruited more bright-eyed kids who are ambitious yet insecure like the article mentions, and the partners are making more money than ever while working more hours than ever. I’m happy to be a software engineer that doesn’t have to put up with that level of commitment in exchange for such a small wage. There’s performative theater at the office and then there’s public accounting.
I would, at a first blush, disagree with that characterization? Dialogue equals more fine-grained strokes and more individual, independent “zones” to encode.

Clerk | Frontend & Backend SWE | Remote or in-person in SF

Clerk is hiring frontend and backend engineers, remote or in-office in San Francisco

We build developers tools for authentication. We're known for our React components like SignIn and UserProfile that "just work" when they're added to the page.

Our components are powered by a new type of API: a frontend-facing API that relies on session tokens for authorization, instead of a backend-facing API that relies on a secret key.

We've found this pattern unlocks a new level of efficiency. Developers can implement Clerk faster than traditional APIs because it comes built-in with UX and UI. To learn more about the approach, see our talk on A Component is Worth a Thousand APIs:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enUuBY3HXh4

We're especially excited to work with engineers who are thoughtful about speed and craft. Clerk is defining the gold standard for components-as-a-service, and we are constantly searching for new ways to evolve and improve our approach. Apply here:
