With list on paper / screen I can compare things, go back & forth, do other stuff (like check my calendar) and the list is exactly where it was, trivial to pick up again.

Listening to it? What a waste of my time and focus on something trivially and already solved.

And use this during driving as some other mention? Sorry not a fan to say at least, it definitely impairs everybody who is driving to certain extent, humans simply don't have efficient parallel processing of things that require focus in this way.

I don't know what you guys are playing at. He said Thailand had "transitioned", past tense, to cars. And I walk, ride or drive past tuktuks outside of tourist centres almost every single day. The government is starting to try and phase out ICE tuktuks, because of noise and pollution concerns, and new electric ones are being introduced to replace them. They are not being phased out because they're deemed "unsafe".

Literally everything you said is wrong. Trivially, provably, wrong on all counts. Why are you making these type of comments?

There is. CRuby code gets compiled to ISeq (VM bytecode) upon `load` / `require` / `eval`. JRuby does similar things (IIRC using InvokeDynamic).

The difference (and that does not even need to involve Rails) is that these three - and thus compilation - happen at runtime, anytime, always.

The fact that a typical "main" file follows the "require first, then define modules and classes, then execute" creates a mental illusion of order; the fact that generally dependencies also follow this propagates that illusion across the board.

Therefore at the ruby source level you can only have runtime checks (and failure via exceptions), unless you bring in another static analysis tool such as Sorbet or RBS+Steep, which is an actual solution to enforce interface contracts without risking blowing up an app at runtime. That stays true even if there were a hypothetical "abstract" Ruby-level keyword. The only other solution without such tools is to have perfect (runtime) coverage via tests.

Note that mruby takes a fundamentally different approach here, and there's no require nor load.
Their goals are to self insert themselves and how oh so hard they have it.

Remember anything you experience, there will always be some wanker trying to one up you or dismiss you
Unfortunately you’d probably want a subscription to newer models that are trained on more relevant and new data. Basically the difference between a standalone GPS unit and an internet connected maps app - at first it doesn’t seem like you need anything new but slowly the world around it changes.

But yea this seems like a great vision generally. I think that we’ll progress past a chat LLM to one that autogenerates UIs - several companies have already demoed this.

Excluding this one sentence in the article

> Software Engineers and Tech co-founders, like us, are more prone to hitting the lows.

I don't see where anyone was comparing software engineering/engineers to another profession. I certainly don't see where it was proclaimed a crisis.

I don't think it's productive to tell people others have it worse when they are promoting a discussion around mental health. I also don't think being well paid and having what appear to be great working conditions preclude you from having mental health issues.
I'm not sure I agree with that and I'm one of the biggest ai pessimists here. The gpus getting created to do this shit aren't just gonna get thrown out (maybe sold in a fire sale), and they're pretty general purpose. Tons of science needs massive compute.

A family member managed to do this. Both flights were packed, but somehow their seat was empty in the other flight, so didn't notice.

Both flights were going to Cyprus, one to Greek side other to Turkish side, boarding at the same time from adjacent gates... Great move British Airways!

The plane they should have gotten on got delayed for many hours because they had a missing passenger so had to remove the stowed luggage[0] after giving up waiting. However they somehow didn't catch the extra passenger in the other plane.

Now this wasn't too long after the tumultuous events[1] in 1974, and so tension was still high between the two sides. So when my family member naively tried to cross the border to get to where they were going, they were assumed to be a spy and got held for interrogation.

After a couple of days of really intense interrogation they got to cross the buffer zone[2], being told in no uncertain terms never ever to come back to the Turkish side.

[0]: edit I'm pretty sure this was before the Lockerbie bombing, in any case I do recall my parents telling me they were worried about the "surprise luggage" being a bomb.

I'm from the US myself, so I'm familiar with this kind of thinking, but it's just frustrating and annoying to me because it's really so juvenile. But it's basically the national religion for a significant (but minority) fraction of the American population.

And yeah, the gun control thing is really annoying too. Whenever a discussion thread here gets into guns, the Americans jump in and then it's always the same BS arguments about "gun control only keeps honest people from having guns". Americans are extremely myopic and have absolutely no idea what life is like outside their country, and can't even imagine what it's like in a developed country where gun ownership is extremely uncommon, among many other things. Despite the internet promising to bring the world closer together, it really hasn't, and as I've gotten older and more worldly, it just annoys me that Americans are so unable to see past their own borders.

That is not true. For example on foreign exchange markets "Dollars" means USD. If you want AUD it's "ozzie", and if you want CAD it's "Loonie"[1], and NZD is "kiwi".

I've got to admit, Descent was the only game to ever make me physically ill. Not because it was bad - it really wasn't - but for a short while in the 90s the Genre of "fly tiny spaceship through low resolution, spinning 3D maze where there's constantly a wall right in front of your face" was really popular. Today, I can't watch a five minute gameplay video without feeling nauseous.

I played Descent, Forsaken and Hellbender that all followed that formula. Only later did games like Incoming, G-Police and Yager take the 3D-flyee-shotee genre to the wider outside and it became less nauseating.

The pictures are necessary when:

1) you do a brainstorming. doing it the visual way is much slower than the markup way. personally done it dozens if not hundreds of times with seq.diagrams. actually started donating to this guy who created sequencediagram.org, he saved me hours

2) you need to communicate chunks of the design with non-technical personnel such as business analysts and folks who have no clue about normal forms, outer joins, relational or hybrid designs, etc. they understand much better with visual assistance, which is in essence - suggestopedic approach (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suggestopedia). and you know what - they never admit their lack of fundamental knowledge, which is even worse than not explaining the matter at all. bpmn and seq.diagrams work very well here, and of course - all 1910s flowchars should be forbidden.

3) when there's a large volume of intertwined entities. you just can't convince me that a graph is better represented as series of relational-algebra-alike texts, and not a planar image of it. try to imagine what the Northwind educational DB looks like as text ... and how you teach/explain to s.o. to walk it.

A four-day workweek across all sectors is still years away; however, a good few private companies, especially those in the tech industry, have adopted it.

I've also been trying out Rye lately. I didn't realize it had bundled formatting and linting:

Black Rye bundles Ruff for formatting (rye fmt).

So that's two less dependencies I need to install.
Fair. I’ve been there too. Exploitation is our industry standard unfortunately. Like everybody (I suppose) in that position, I’ve been trying to understand the root cause of the problem. IMHO the root cause is in the structure of “teams” and related responsibilities/positiins. I’ve written “teams” in quotation makrs, cause most of them are simoly a group of people without any real shared goal. Real teams are structured in a way that enables real cross-dependence of their members. In a group each member is accountable individually, and individual accountability stands in opposition to team work. If we structure teams to work as teams (together, not alone), and enable collaborative processes and architecture (structure, process and architecture all have to work together) - we enable many ways of support among individuals, and thats where the team gains powers to form a self-awareness and heal itself. Without an intervention of HR, organizing coffee breaks over Zoom half an hour each week, or other nonsense.

This is also how Linux became the server OS of choice for most companies, while Windows NT remained a niche product only found at a certain kind of company.

Wiki has a reasonable listing of the countless times slavery was abolished throughout history. [1] That list should be considered extremely incomplete, as it happened with quite the regularity, all around the globe. And so even calling something "the" abolitionist movement is a misnomer. Abolitionist movements, political leaders, and abolitionary successes have existed for thousands of years, and likely for as long as slavery itself has existed.

But it never remained abolished because of a simple logical problem you run into. The reality of the world - past, present, and future - is that stronger powers dominate weaker powers -- the same reality upon which Aristotle based his cognitive dissonance. And so so long as slavery provided a significant material benefit, powers that embraced slavery would dominate those that did not. And that dominance would inevitably lead to the institution (or reinstitution) of slavery in the weaker powers. The British Empire and its spread of slavery around the globe is but one of many examples.

So you saw this regular flip flopping. One ideologically minded leader would end slavery, only for it to come back later. What changed with the industrial revolution is that the latest end of slavery no longer had any particularly negative consequences, instead we saw the exact opposite. Countries that abolished slavery, which was primarily a rural/plantation based phenomena, actually started to grow exceptionally rapidly on the back of the emerging systems of industrial wage labor, while rural and plantation style production became less and less economically relevant. Slavery had become obsolete.

---

There's some interesting parallels with slavery and modern day conscriptions. A country locks up its borders, prevents people from leaving, starts forcibly conscripting them into the military, gives them a gun, and sends them off to die. This is utterly barbaric, and most people would agree with such. Yet it remains a thing, and will remain a thing for the foreseeable future, for the exact same reason that slavery was perpetuated.

Countries that turn to conscription will be more powerful than those that don't. When this reality becomes no longer true (perhaps due to war becoming more mechanical in nature) we'll certainly finally abolish this barbaric behavior, and then claim it's due to some 'greater moral understanding', as if people alive today can't see with their own two eyes what an unnatural and abhorrent behavior this is. Of course we can! But trying to permanently stop something that's a significant means to power is like trying to stop a train by walking in front of it.

My favorite trivia on Barry Lyndon is the fact that he built a camera out of satellite lens to get the necessary aperture to shoot candle lit scenes with no artificial lighting. But with such a massive aperture, the actors had to stay absolutely still to remain in focus, which you can tell in the card playing scenes.

Though I love the film, the very slow rythme makes it hard to re-watch, and probably impenetrable to today's young audience.

> >You cannot take a sick day by telling your team, “I have mental issues and need a day off.”

> This hurt me to read on behalf of the OP.

> I'm now 20 years into my career and never once have I come across this attitude. People take sick days all the time for mental health. I feel terribly for this person that they felt like they couldn't but this is far and away the exception rather than the rule.

> Has any company come out against mental health in the past 20 years?

I'd say this is a cultural thing. For example, I have never heard of anyone taking a mental health day off. You just take vacation time and hope you come back normal.

Technically, you can take a sick day and the employer doesn't need a reason but if you work in an office environment, especially a small one, everyone knows everything. People know when you're sick and wonder if you're okay. They care and they ask.
Seeing the fast development of AI in the last couple of years, it's incredible how stuck AI assistants are. Basic things like "Hey Google, turn up the volume" don't work.

Just imagine what a good AI assistant could do with todays LLM tech. Actual things I would have used in the last two days:

- Hey Google, what's the song that goes "da da da da da daaa da"? There are skeletons and elephants in the video?

- Hey Siri, can you move all the windows of project XY to a fresh desktop?

- Move all the shopping tabs to a new window.

- Find the last contract draft for customer ABC.
Contrary to the article, I'd say Amazon does have some incentive, and definitely the money to keep this going as long as they want. What's missing is mindshare, because voice assistants are fundamentally uninteresting beyond queries and basic automation.

You throw audio into an LLM and get a function call back. Okay.
