I don’t think it was every one or the other. Ruby wa/ hot around 2005 and Apple experimented with language bindings for AppKit (and osascript?). I did a bunch of prototyping using MacRuby and then would rewrite in Objective-C.

Ruby’s object model is relatively similar to objc - no direct member access outside the object, everything is loosely coupled messages with dynamic runtime, you could get away with duck typing in some cases in objc using `id` types (at the expense of getting type checks from the compiler).

I don’t think it was ever intended at the next system language, though. It was just a convenient binding and optimized runtime (many of its core types were Core Foundation types - NSString, etc. IIRC).
Specific to aviation, there are two things that I think are worth looking at and considering adopting versions of:

The NASA ASRS system: https://asrs.arc.nasa.gov/

FAR 91.3: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/91.3

The first of those is the aviation safety reporting system, which provides explicitly for immunity from sanction for inadvertent violations of FAA regulations (with certain limitations).

The second of those is basically the first aviation law clause for flight crews (after 91.1 which is the "this is what this section of law applies to" and 91.2 which doesn't exist) and gives broad discretion to deviate from any rule [in this part of federal law] as needed to address an emergency.

ASRS is directly and strongly supportive of the overall blameless culture in aviation. 91.3 is moderately supportive of it.
Though I share your pessimism, “fortunately” the drug companies don’t make much from dementia directly, the cost burden is borne by children and care facilities.

If you read the story you will hear about a test roll out an install.

I was bitten by this and it was an awful couple of days of head scratching with Apple Support.

My story is that I upgraded my mail server but the install hung never completed. I ended up with a a hard drive with no files and completely full. Diskutil and Disk Utility reported everything as good but there was a partition that could not be seen. I forget the eventual resolution. Probably starting all over again with a completely fresh install.

I never understood what had happened until I saw a talk or read an interview with the APFS creaator. During the talk he spoke of how they did a complete re-format to APFS and verified everything and than reverted to HFS+ for the install.

This is all from memory but I think I have the details mostly correct. The whole process was technically impressive but not without hiccups.

Who do they ask? They have just interrupted someone else's flow to ask - worse they might ask the wrong person and interrupt more than one persons flow in getting an answer. There is a high cost to even trivial questions and the more of them someone needs to ask the worse.

The point is there is a balance you need to find that balance.

>if I extrapolate stuff I've seen in smaller places

Makes me wonder where they got their ideas, maybe they are just imitating larger companies.

It's real bad when you get a refugee from a large bureaucratic org into any key position somewhere much smaller that would really need to grow a lot to compare at all.

Ultimate decision-makers sometimes think that type of overpaid climber will prepare them to grow to the size of the company they once worked at. When the opposite is true because they thrive on the bureaucracy more than the business, and can barely perform when all that overgrown bureaucracy is not there at their disposal.

And you don't want to pattern your company like a large bureaucracy until it is actually large. And then only deploy the bureaucracy part judiciously when and if it becomes absolutely necessary, no reason to do it the 19th century way any more.

I had my first in my mid twenties and there wasn't a lot of bouncing back happening.

In college you can bounce back after an all nighter not just because you're younger but also because it's an opt-in single event and you can opt out of the next one when you recognize that you're sleep deprived. You can also do what my brother does and regularly sleep in till 10 to make up for the late nights.

Once you have kids there's no opt out mechanism, and sleeping in isn't an option any more. There's not really an opportunity to bounce back from the sleep loss, even for a younger adult.
That's not very actionable by the guys on the ground.

I am always curious regarding new education solutions. I firmly believe the US pre-college education systems are fundamentally broken most benefit from edtech (huge fan of Khan Academy).

As an MIT alum myself ('89), I am surprised to hear your description of your experience at MIT. Did you experience this across all classes and departments or only for a few (e.g. 18.01 which is required for most freshman)? While certain professors were not the most helpful, I found most of the teaching staff to be incredibly helpful when I made the effort to engage them. No doubt the focus was on attendance in lectures.

In addition to lectures there were:
- Recitations - each class of the larger classes had recitations with a TA to allow smaller groups the opportunity to ask specific questions.
- Office hours with the lecturer. I did not avail myself of them as I considered them useful for bigger questions (should I be a physics major if I don't understand this) rather then review of homework questions.
- Bibles. Each living group (I was in a fraternity but dorms had them as well) had a library of class notes, exams, quizzes, etc for each class assembled by people who previously took the class and did well. Often the Bible author was still available for questions.
- Friends/Fellow Students. MIT has an incredibly open policy on working together. My recollection is some classes could not be reasonably completed by people working alone (e.g. Aero/Astro's Unified Engineering). A fellow student may simply have looked at a topic from a different perspective which drove their comprehension.

Today, MIT offers OpenCourseWare (ocw.mit.edu) which hosts complete courses online (video, lecture notes, syllabi, additional readings, quizzes). This is an incredible resource that I have found helps my lifetime learning goals.

Again, I am always excited for edtech. I think its development needs to be tempered with an understanding of why current systems are not working. What problem are you solving? Is your solution simply remote tutoring? If so, how is it different that a job board with zoom?
I've been working on Codemap, a code visualization tool for many programming languages (JavaScript, Python, Go, Ruby, Terraform).

https://codemap.app

It parses any given codebase and visualizes all function calls as a hierarchical graph. Quite useful for onboarding new team members, digging through old codebases, or simply debugging issues.

You can further tweak the graph for various use cases. For example, a frontend engineer can view the dependency graph of all UI components, while an infra engineer can view connections between all cloud resources defined in Terraform.

On the other hand, if I were hit by a loaded shopping cart at 3 mph and I weren’t allowed to move my feet, I’d probably be okay if I saw it coming.

Keep the same momentum but scale the mass down to, say, 200g. Now it’s supersonic, and it will hit with maybe 10x the energy of a musket ball. This would be extremely damaging and likely lethal.

(If you make the mass too small, it might go straight through a person, in which case not all of the energy is delivered.)

It's more of the fact that we discovered the scientific method and measured that cosleeping is statistically more likely to kill your child. Even if that increase % is small, it's enough for most (western) parents to make the tradeoff and suffer through sleep deprivation.

And the tradeoff makes sense -- as a parent, you are biologically programmed to go through great lengths to keep your children safe.

I've used GPT-4 for programming since it came out and it's massively improved my productivity, despite being frustrating at times. It quickly forgets details and starts hallucinating, so I have to constantly remind it by pasting in code. After a few hours it gets so confused I have to start a new chat to reset things.

I've been using Claude pretty intensively over the last week and it's so much better than GPT. The larger context window (200k tokens vs ~16k) means that it can hold almost the entire codebase in memory and is much less likely to forget things.

The low request quota even for paid users is a pain though.

As others are saying, how tired you are as a parent is a direct inverse function of: how far away your parents/inlaws live, how much they prioritize their grandchildren over boomer pastimes, and your relationship with them.
I’m very sorry, but “native looking ui components” is a thing of the past.

I might put some effort in if developing on Mac (but even Apple just does whatever), but on Windows and Linux, the components are a free for all. If even Microsoft won’t respect their own UI, why should I?

I’m not advocating for breaking usability in your apps, just saying that we are well past not using this for desktop.

> buying a house with these prices & interest rates, or trying to save for a downpayment while renting.

While there are certainly problems here, higher interest rates drive demand down and lower prices, while lower interest rates drive up demand and raise prices.

Investors tend to look for the best return on investment, the number I often see given is 5%/year. The rent I collect is close to that fraction of the market value of the apartment I own in the UK.

The choice between "rent" and "mortgage" is where the cost of the two is about equal in the first year, which is always a bit unfair on first-time purchasers as (1) they're generally younger and thus earning less money, and (2) the impact of interest payments is always front-loaded towards the beginning of the repayment period.

This in turn means that there's a temptation for very long repayment periods to make it seem easier: in a world of genuinely 0% interest mortgages, paying off a ¤600k over 40 years is clearly easier than paying it off over 20, and lower rates asymptotically approach this.

Conversely, when the interest rate is high enough that (even without paying off the capital and regardless of repayment period) it approximates the rental market rate of the property, this drives down demand. To see why, go back to that previous example of a ¤600k (sale price) property: if the landlord can ask for ¤2.5k/month rent, and the interest rate on a mortgage is 5% AER, then the cost to service the interest without paying capital is the same as you get from the rent — which means investors will ask "why should I buy this?" and renters will ask "why would I want that kind of mortgage?", forcing down the asking prices because the only people still interested are people who can do it without borrowing any money.
Yes but it's still nice to spend <$10 per month on per token APIs (and get faster responses) than $25 for chatgpt UI (that has horrid captchas besides being much slower than api). Also it's nice to store the data locally with Librechat.
If you standardize the Unix utils you use and the bash version you use, it's really not hard to avoid a lot of the issues you're talking about. To get all developers in an org working on compatible ubuntu-like systems, just mandate use of WSL on Windows and GNU unix commands on mac so everything is the same for everyone.

That being said, if you and your team just don't have a lot of bash/unix experience, that is probably a good argument for writing your utility scripts in whatever you can actually write without a ton of bugs.

Would you complain about node bugs if your org wasn't standardizing the node version people used and some people were still on node 12??
Postdocs are such a scam role.

Wew! the big problem isnt just with pirate videos...

"According to local news reports, the service generated R$4,542,034 ($912,000) in revenue over twelve months"

This wasnt some torrent stream for "anyone for free have at!", but a paywall for content.

Amongst old pirates, charging money is the big "DONT DO, EVER" flag. And with absolutely no money or goods trading hands, is "cleaner", than groups that gatekeep piracy with money.

-------------

At least in the USA, we need some sort of mandatory video reproduction similar to ASCAP/BMI/SESAC. I just count how many times it was played, and send in a royalty check.

If that was the case, I could create really cool themed setups, share with friends, take some money, and pay royalties on playback. For music, I *can* do that. But for video? Nooooooope.

And because that doesnt exist for video, means we have like what, 50 different streaming (pile of crap) services, and back to cable channel hell.
If your clothes are wearing at different rates then by definition you aren't wear-leveling.
TL;DR: A) this isn't twitter B) obvious obtuseness weakens arguments and weakens people's impression of you. C) You're pretending a definition that was out of date a century ago is some common anything anyone who reads would know (!!!)

- But, I'm curious by nature, so it crosses my mind later. I think "what's up with that? I've never heard it, I'm not infallible, and maybe bgandrew was for real and just is unfamiliar with conversational norms? maybe he has seen it in his extremely wide reading corpus that exceeds mine? I'm not infallible and I, like everyone else, have inflated opinions of myself. And that other account did say it was a definition of it..."

- Was a bit surprised to find _0_ results over 500. I think to myself...where was that definition from? Surely it wasn't a rushed strawman?

- It turns out the attempted bullying is much more funny than it even first seemed.

- That definition of castration is from an 1893 dictionary. The only times that definition is in Google's entire corpus, search and books, is A) in the 1893 dictionary B) academic paper on puns, explaining that no one understands it that way anymore because its archaic https://www.euppublishing.com/doi/abs/10.3366/mod.2021.0351?...

A similar thing happens when the word "password" is present in the file. Copilot stops autocompleting.

I haven't tried this yet, but I wonder if putting a comment at the top saying "the term ass refers to…" would convince copilot that you're not being profane.

I've also been a user since day one and other than that "safety feature" it's been such a fantastic addition. I turned off intellisense because copilot does a much better job (more accurate, longer auto completions) albeit with slightly increased latency

It seems like they mostly focus on digitization, with some cloud storage being offered. A few key differences:

Data distribution: one of the hard parts is actually sharing the memories you’ve saved when you die (or at some future date). When you create an archive, you choose someone to give that data to.

Storage: no restrictions of what you upload, subject to US law. If you want to upload big encrypted blobs and give the key to someone else, I am happy to support it. Over the timespans we’re talking about, you want to look into quantum resistant encryption.

Cost: on a per gb price, I am much cheaper, as there’s no digitization labor involved. I think digitization is declining, as even my grandma kept most of her pictures on her iPhone. There still exists a great digitization market, but it is getting smaller.
