>The primary motivation for this package is to enable the use of Swift when writing GNOME apps, for all the reasons outlined above

The only problem I have with such projects is when they are unmaintained, in various stages of immaturity, and have little adoption (vicious circle).

You find them, they promise exactly what you need, and then you fell into issue after issue in practical use (*).

It would be amazing if there was (perhaps this is or will be) well maintained bindings for Swift/Rust/Go and co for Gnome.

* Yes, it's open source and you can fix some of the issues yourself. Doesn't mean you have the know-how or time to fix all of them, especially when there are lots of things to fix or features missing. Ideally a big community must exist, so that each can just work on or fix a small part and the problem still get lots of fixes/improvements incoming, as opposed to "fully replace the single overworked maintainer yourself".

You're basically trading your risk for everyone else's. Not that trade effects and compliance aren't a problem, but the point is you're discounting the impact of the -1 second effect on everything else.

I don't usually "stand with google" on things, but I think this time I stand with google: better to smear, than invoke negative time and time repeats. If need be declare a trading holiday. Or, ensure the smear is within the compliance limits.

We need more good examples of what “old parents” look like in modern society. Having a first child in your 40s is often painted as a pessimistic, undesirable situation to be in, where you will “lack energy” and patience to take care of a small child.

But why? If we’re serious about extending lifespans the average age of parents should be going up. People should be using their younger years to establish themselves in society and build a sustainable lifestyle. By the time you are 40, the costs and demands of a small child should be effortless, easily solved with the riches you’ve accumulated. By the time you hit 60s, your child is graduating college and getting on with life. If you’re lucky maybe you live to 90 and even see them reach well into middle age. This doesn’t sound like a bad timeline.
My understanding of the situation is this:
When there is a new plane released, the FAA determins what type of training the (existing) pilots need to undergo to be certified to fly on it. If the plane is new or very different from existing planes, then the pilots have to go through long and expensive training- this training includes flight simulators.
If the plane is "mostly the same" as an existing plane, the pilots go through shorter and cheaper training.

Boeing wanted the pilots to take the cheaper training, because it ment that the buyers could save a lot of money. So they convinced the FAA that the cheaper training was appropriate. They convinced the FAA that the MCAS system wasn't a "big difference." This was a mistake
I remember a few years ago, a few really cool cross-platform UI libraries were starting to emerge such as libui [0] that got me excited. I've kind of lost track of them since then (libui itself went dormant for a while before this fork) so I am not sure how mature/useful they are now, but the potential for writing native desktop UIs in basically any language seemed like an absolute dream. Perhaps it's feasible for very basic things?

I always understood that a person being competent in role A is being promoted because of being good paired with maybe personal or/and corporate development goals. Once in the new role, with likely higher pay, it is very unlikely to go back. Instead of going back the person will try to stay afloat in the new role. Some will rise to the challenge others not.
“The thing that often baffles me is why these people still work. You can do almost anything you want with that kind of money.”

As an academic educator myself I must sadly concur. Students always demand a lot of things, and then they don't use them.

That doesn't mean offering them is a bad thing, because there are people who do, but most students I know "don't have the time" and I know for a fact that they don't do shit. And I know that for a fact because I studied at my university a few years prior. Back then I was a freelancer while studying, ao when I said I don't have timw that meant I had a job. Ut for most of my colleagues that meant they were occupied with loafing around.

Not that everything and everybody needs to be efficient, but if you loaf around blaming a lack of time is a fucking joke. Maybe they are lacking energy, direction, discipline, willpower, ambition, etc. and sure, some — e.g. young mothers — are truly lacking time. But most students are not.
Opus is big, because it gave people the first taste of what post-GPT-4 capabilities look like. For one, its a major improvement in coding, and a gigantic leap in creative writing abilities, going from high schooler writing to professional prose. Like all the chatbot addicts have once again swapped their addiction to Opus now.

Clearly LLMs are not even close to peaking yet.

Its also sad how awful Gemini is. Gemini 1.0 Ultra is clearly not noticeably better than GPT-4 turbo despite a year's head start. Google is therefore not even going to release Gemini 1.0 Ultra API, instead going back to the oven to train 1.5 Ultra.
A few weeks ago, we had a major problem with our Apple developer account (which is registered to my name). For days, I tried everything to avoid calling customer support (for the above reasons) and only agreed when our release team started panicking. I was more than surprised how incredibly good Apple‘s support team was. Recovering from the problem was quite difficult (and the circumstances that lead to it made me question Apple’s SW dev capabilities), but the support experience was simply perfect.
Can you be specific what ideas of his aren't scientific?
It's true that science requires replication but he deals with models but perhaps uses bad studies to support it.
It's like saying he should replicate the theory of evolution.
This retort is true of literally everything involved in raising kids.

Substitute "parents" "preschool teachers" "sports coach" &c. for "grandparents" in the sentence and it's still true for the domain for the children. It's true that with grandparents you have a maximum of 4 to choose from, but you might not have more than 4 preschools to choose from either.

> We don't make subway free for residents...

I think you went the wrong way with that argument. Why don't we make the subway free for residents? All the infrastructure for cars is at least as expensive, but it's still free. (To be fair, there's a gas tax and tolls, but it's still massively subsidized.)
Also the incentive of not having their companies effectively nationalized and put to work building some one else's product.
This happened to me about 2 yrs ago. It catches you off guard when you receive a spoofed call from Apple Care as you are being bombarded with PW reset requests from your iCloud. Of course, the hacker is really good and answers all the Apple-related questions fluidly. I believe my account data came from the big Ledger hack, so they were targeting crypto holders. iCloud security was so weak back then!
New Orleans used to be until they nuked the bus system recently.
The license allows to reproduce/distribute/copy, so I'm a little surprised there's an approval process at all.
Yes and no. LLMs are definitely struggling with long horizon planning in complex situations, and can hallucinate/misunderstand environmental states such that they can recommend nonsensical or impossible steps. But we are starting to see more research that "grounds" LLM answers in a set state. Where they shine in the planning stage is they provide a sense of contextual heuristics we didn't have available before without a lot of expert domain programming.

LLMS in their current state are certainly not the answer, but point to some exciting possibilities that we couldn't do before because of sheer complexity.
Really? You don't read anything in parentheses? I think that would be harder to do (I'm joking, don't take it seriously) than actually reading the parenthetical information.
That's astonishing. What ended up happening?
This. Over the years I've seen so many cool projects aiming to ease native desktop UI development, but most became unmaintained at some point, for what I am guessing is due to the difficulty and complexity associated with actually making this work in practice. It is less sexy, but a solid language binding to the existing libraries is likely the more practical and maintainable way to go
It's not just a matter of giving your kid a new laptop every year vs. every couple of years, or not being able to pay for college out-of-pocket.

There are plenty of people out there who can't afford to live in anything larger than a one-bedroom apartment, who can't afford to clothe their children, or who can't even afford to feed them. Telling them to have kids because they are "resilient" and parenthood is "meaningful" isn't very helpful - it's far better to wait a few years until they're financially stable. A parent's love can't fully compensate for childhood poverty trauma.

What is “AI Saas” ?

If you don’t have tech skills to build it, you’ve got to be able to craft a pitch and communicate it.

I have no idea what “AI Saas” means, but being that broad there would have to be customers of yours here. At least pitch it to the point where we can declare yes or no.

And then go pitch and win your first 50 customers. One by one.

Then go get funding on the back of your 50 letters of intent.

The whole time you should be looking for a technical co-founder, and you should give them 50% of the business (equals). Without them you will have to give away more equity to raise (because you won’t have any product, or revenue), and you will burn more investment building and iterating your product.

Anything less than equal will not work.

You could make convincing arguments about why the work you’ve already done is valuable, and that they’re coming in later so they should only get xx share. But the reality is everything before that point is mostly irrelevant, what will make difference comes next. And for years into the future, if it’s going to be a success.

I found myself facing a corner case of the implications of AI and summarised it up here: https://wowana.me/blog/ais-effect-on-human-consciousness.xht

Basically I've been without employment for months because my last job ruined me and treated me as expendable, without facing or understanding the consequences of getting too deep into the tech/engineering field. Lately I have only been able to hope that they receive their judgment sooner rather than later, so that we can slow down the progress of AI and carefully evaluate it as a proper engineering field rather than a cash-grab tech bubble that will burst at this rate.

Hang in there, shit's just hitting the fan.
My great-grandfather was widowed and remarried in late 1940ies to a woman who was his university-age daughter's friend (that daughter was my grandmother). Yeah, he was considerably older (late 40ies/early 50ies?) than her (like 23?). That lady is my great-grandmother (sure, she's not blood related to me but they had children and they are all my various uncles/aunts and cousins). When I brought in my children to see the family, they got to meet their both of their great-grandmothers, great-grandfather, and on top of that their great-great-grandmother. Now THAT's rare.

> Lets not kid ourselves. The only real "advantage" would have been one less driver earning a paycheck.

Given that all modern, developed countries have to fight with a population decrease, this is actually a good thing. We have to prepare for a future where there will be barely anyone left to do relatively low-skill jobs, and the earlier we begin to automate them, the better - otherwise, we'll be in quite the bind in a decade or two, once the last boomers that work high into their 80s just to survive are finally dead.
99% of the time it's just a docker container that connects to a database, an object store and redis.

If we need to move it then we move it... not exactly difficult or time consuming. There are always ways of half moving things too, for example we could move the container deployment to another cloud but keep our build process and object store at the original vendor and so on.

In reality we are not going to be shifting production load between cloud vendors every 2 weeks.
They tried nothing else for the better part of a century, but the traffic just kept getting worse: the more you subsidize driving, the more people choose to do it.

The underlying problem is basic geometry: cars are the least spatially efficient form of transportation in common use - you need something like 140 square feet to transport on average just over one person, plus a similar amount of space for storage. That can work somewhere unpopular but the math just doesn’t work in a city core where you don’t have that much space unless you bulldozed all of the buildings. Even if they did something phenomenally expensive and unpleasant like creating multilevel streets those would fill up quickly because if traffic ever improved, more people would start driving all the way in.

Billing and Accounts Payable will always seem like a "how could you mess that up?" problem to engineers, but it literally is difficult and complicated and rife with ways to very seriously and permanently fuck your relationship with your customer. And potentially with your auditors, investors, and whoever performs legal oversight in your jurisdiction. All of the largest companies in the tech world have been hit by AP fraud. Billing, collecting taxes, etc. is just fundamentally complicated (fundamentally = by laws of the lands.) There's a reason Stripe is a bazillion dollar business!

That said, this screams of amateur hour. If Fisker can't keep track of the money I certainly wouldn't trust them to build a car correctly.

EDIT: I didn't realize they were already a public company. How in the fuck did they pull that off? It's so over for them.
Literally incorrect. Please do any at all research before you say things that are completely wrong because you simply don't give a damn about reality.

> From personal experience, yes, it's strictly "faster" to take a car to the park from downtown unless you include going to the parking lot, picking up your car, finding a parking spot and then walking to where you're actually trying to go. From Powell it's 16 minutes by the N train every 10 minutes, followed by a 3 minute walk. I guess driving is technically 16, but you know, parking on either side. Or 23 minutes by bike.

Don't forget about the time to actually get to the station either.

> Then you have the spiky "oops all traffic" and your drive gets exponentially longer while your bike commute (or bus ride with protected lanes) remains exactly the same length.

A cramped bus or train ride gets pretty miserable too. There's nothing fundamentally preventing bike congestion either, aside from bikes being miserable enough that they have a fraction of the usage.

> The kind of places a car actually unlocks (going out of town on weekends) are like $100 for a car rental vs depreciation, financing, tolls, registration, insurance, parking, fines, gas/charging, etc. That gives you a huge car rental and Uber budget. And rental cars are usually available at the same parking lots you'd normally be putting your car.

This must be somewhere between regional and bullshit. Looking it up, it seems like you'd expect to pay around $65/day + gas here for a rental. But then you need to consider availability (hope you didn't plan on going during holiday/vacation season!) and the practicalities of the rental process itself (picking up and delivering the car becomes its own full trip on its own, not to mention all the paperwork involved).
I am working on an analytics tool where you will just have to make a GET request on a specific URL and I will store that Event for you.

For example
If you make a request on

It will work for all framework which give option to make GET request and no need to set up BIG-G analytics packages.
If I am reading https://www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.gov/files/2022-03/F... correctly (and I'm almost certainly not) the budget in 2023 was $60 billion (which to be fair includes more than just highways) and if this is correct (which it may be biased) https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/what-highway-t... then federal fuel taxes raised $43 billion of that.

It's within 2/3rds (and frankly lower than I thought, $60 billion doesn't get you @#@^ these days).
"...raise $1 billion annually for public transit improvements"

This is so confusing. If you create bigger roads, it usually doesn't solve the issue, as:

1) More people start to use the road, which can actually increase total commute time (Braess's paradox).

2) It removes room for the actual city. The city becomes more spread out, and people have to travel farther to get to their destinations!

Think about this: do you want to be encouraging other people to create more traffic along your commute? No way! You want everyone else off your roads, somehow get them to start biking or take the subway. And the best way to do that is to replace a couple lanes with bus/bike/streetcar lanes.

> Or, ensure the smear is within the compliance limits.

I don't see how you can be within 11.6 μs of UTC and also smear.

If UTC requires leap seconds in both directions (as it does) and your time keeping must be very close to UTC, you must keep leap seconds (this isn't too hard, historically FreeBSD has done just fine, although Linux has crashed a few times, and MySQL didn't like it at least once even if your OS was fine; other applications also had issues). And you've got to figure out how to log :60, rather than :59 twice; this is probably harder.

Personally, I'd vote for all seconds be the same length, and all days the same number of seconds, and all days the same number of hours. Maybe ocassionally redefine time zones, until the seconds per day is really off. But you know, the powers that be insist that UTC stay close to UT1, and DST is a thing too (different orgs, but still messed up)
