> but now and into the future.

That's tough. The context is always changing. The future looks different every week or two. Worth considering but it's also easy to go down the rabbit hole of over anticipating, over planning, etc.

Be wise. Be thorough. But be aware you'll be wrong often (when it comes to predicting the future).
We've built our startup from scratch on JAX, selling text-to-image model finetuning, and it's given us a consistent edge not only in terms of pure performance but also in terms of "dollars per unit of work"

Have you seen "Jonathan Blow plays Visual Studio"? I ran across it after I started and understood his pain
As a test on various distros, I ran
iconv -l |grep 2022 |grep -i cn

and it listed ISO-2022-CN-EXT// and ISO2022CNEXT// before I made any changes. After editing the modules and running iconvconfig the command no longer showed those charsets.

This was handy since the alma8 has a /usr/lib64/gconv/gconv-modules file but the file to edit was /usr/lib64/gconv/gconv-modules.d/gconv-modules-extra.conf
> there’s a massive shortage of freight drivers since Brexit for no apparent reason whatsoever.

The main reason is that most drivers were Eastern European and since freedom of movement ended it has become significantly harder for them to come and work as freely as they could before. Covid is also a factor afaik.

Though I otherwise agree with you that developers (or rather white collar careers in general with the exception of certain finance roles) are not particularly well paid in many instances in the UK.
How is accessibility an essential feature? I'm not disabled, so I don't care if editor is accessible or not. I care about my use-cases. And I use vscode precisely because it's crazy fast.
I disagree with a lot of this.

First of all, feedback is not a great way to build relationships. If it's positive feedback, and it's not perceived by them to be demeaning/dehumanizing/etc, most people will like it, regardless of relationship. But if it's negative, nobody likes to receive negative feedback, but especially not from someone they don't already trust. First build a relationship, then give negative feedback, when appropriate (which is a very qualified when).

Second, asking if you can give feedback is like asking if you can ask a question. The other person is going to feel rude if they say no, so they will instead feel pressured to say yes, and now you have a position of power over them, they feel bad, and you haven't even given the feedback yet. If the feedback is positive, just give it, don't ask them if it's okay. Nobody will legitimately complain about praise. If the feedback is negative, keep your friggin' trap shut, unless you feel the feedback is absolutely necessary, from you, right now. If it doesn't need to come from you, or it's not absolutely necessary in this moment, then wait until you have a normal conversation with them and allow it to enter conversation naturally and gracefully.

Third, don't offer feedback if the person has not already requested feedback. You can offer to them that they can give you feedback, but if they don't provide the same reciprocal offer to you, don't push it. Feedback isn't a right, it's a privilege.

Fourth, you absolutely should be afraid of giving feedback to people who might use that feedback against you. In fact, just sharing your thoughts about things in general, out in the open, can unintentionally hurt people's feelings and turn them against you. I have personally found out on several different occasions that I somehow hurt someone's feelings unintentionally, just because of my opinions on some topic (engineering-related, business-related, etc) that wasn't personally directed at anyone. Your tone, messaging, content and context can and will have unintended consequences, so think before you speak. If you're unsure of the outcome, either don't speak, or accept the consequences.

Fifth, this is general knowledge, but always complain up, never down. On the other hand, praise everyone: your boss, your direct reports, your peers. Praise costs nothing but does make people like you (and others).

If the only thing people hear you say is positive things, you will probably be one of the best-liked people at work. Giving negative feedback generally won't help you, and many won't be open to it, so choose wisely when you give it.
This is dead on. I find, however, that you have to be careful about revealing your secret, at least in so many words. I had (more or less) the following interaction with a parent we see occasionally:

Them: "How'd you get $oneYearOld to do $that?"

Me: [Explains]

Them: "That's clever"

Me (unguardedly): "Yeah, it's basically like dog-training - [more or less what you said]."

Them: [Dirty look]

A year on I don't think they've started another conversation with me. Lol. I have the "bad parent" rep, but everyone likes our kid, so I really, really don't care.

[Edit: It's all positive reinforcement, mind. I'm not yelling or beating the kid, or anything like that. The objection is to a mental association between the child and an animal. My wife initially had the same.

>You can also set it up so that incoming calls are whitelisted or something like that on just about every phone.

Nope. You get a blacklist as a basic feature, but a whitelist has to be installed (on Android). I use Silence (single Android profile) or Yet Another Call Blocker (multi Android profile) [both on F-Droid]. I add * to the blacklist then set the ignore/skip for numbers in contacts setting. You literally cannot make my phone ring without being added to my contacts.

This should have been the standardest of standard features for years, which is just another example of Out To Get You games companies play on retail customers (another example of a set of standard features which should be ubiquitous is the Privacy.com cards: every bank or credit card company should offer the same virtual cards and control features but practically none do: screw you Mr. Customer buy the upgrade/DLC/"Pro edition!").
Given the way mine (not FritzBox) chokes due to NAT being a little stupid when burdened with enough outbound IPv4 dialing, I'd like a PCIe DOCSIS 3.1 (and enough EuroDOCSIS 3.0 to get through bootstrapping, as the ISP doesn't yet support pure 3.1 moderns) modem...
I may settle for a 2.5GBASE-T "classic" modern, though, despite the lost control over the TX queue. It's sadly not possible to just presume a TX speed and forgo backpressure from DOCSIS to the packet scheduler that has the knobs to never turn Internet usage off again just to stop other more sensitive Internet usage from lagging.
How the Circle Changed the Game with Its First AI Catfish
What? It gives at least a partial answer in the first paragraph:

> An expert has a track record and has had to face the consequences of their work. Failing is part of what makes an expert: any expert should have stories about how things went wrong.

This might sound so obvious as to be a non-answer, but I think it's a good point. There are many "experts" who acquired degrees in, wrote papers on, and now teach others about their area of focus, but have at no point in that process had to, say, stake their employment on being correct about that area.

For example, professors of literature have all written thousands of pages of text about good novels, but there's little evidence that they can actually make good novels.

One of the main inspirations for Lunatik is the MS Singularity OS [1], which gets rid of kernel/user space division and implements application/process protection by software using programing language resources. The other one is the MIT Exokernel [2], which provides a tiny kernel with almost no abstractions responsible only for safely multiplexing the hardware. Now, imagine a tiny kernel written in C, exposing Lua APIs, responsible mainly for multiplexing HW; and user processes implemented as separate Lua states running on the same address space, protected by language constructs.

I'd fail the marshmallow test. It's one extra marshmallow I'm losing, who cares?

Now, if it was $100,000/$200,000 instead of 1/2 marshmallows, the outcome would be completely different.

Regardless of whether the stakes are trivial or immense, the amount of thought, deliberation, and care going into the decision will be at least correlated with the stakes, for me.
> If you aren't even allowed to park for 3 hours in a location, why should a homeless person be allowed to camp there indefinitely

Losing your parking spot is a minor commercial inconvenience to someone with (I assume) other resources; losing their campsite, especially without alternatives, costs an unhoused person their home and their shelter from the elements.

I'm not even sure what we're discussing - these people need shelter and homes, of course. Park regulations are secondary.

Not all unhoused people litter. One person is not guilty of or responsible for what someone else does. You are not responsible for what I do and vice-versa.

I read that as that whoever's missiles they are should have full visibility and control of their code; I am assuming that "my missiles" means the government, not that the poster personally owns missiles.

I'm the author. I had experience with SDL and wrote a test to confirm it still performs well (I never tried it on linux). It did, SDL has been ported to just about every OS. I have some OS specific code for windows but not much. The only OS specific things were executing a binary + stdio + closing it and slight differences in socket code (mostly used for DAP). C++ now has filesystem support so I didn't need any OS specific code for that
I've seen basic functions split across apps, broken cloud services, and even big-budget banking apps that are painful to use. Reliability and security often feel lacking too.
I have a few theories why this happens: Are we all too distracted to do focused work? Does the industry focus too much on the newest trends rather than building things right the first time? Have easy coding tools led to devs who don't grasp the fundamentals?

Plus, what does the rise of AI mean for software quality? Could things get a LOT worse before they get better?

What are the worst examples of bad software that drive you crazy? Are there shining examples of exceptional quality that give you hope?

Nasrudin (or Nasreddin)[0] is an apocryphal Sufi priest, who is sort of a "collection bin" for wise and witty sayings. Great stories. Lots of humor, and lots of wisdom.

Thank you for this idea! VSCode API definitely allows to do this, however here I will need more sophisticated algorithm to understand where to show it and where not. Current implementation can expand/collapse literally any string, so kind of implicitly it supports even the cases when you use classnames or similar libraries.
It's still a lorry.

As you've said earlier. This sounds like a reasonable construal of the word true. But I don't see anything about propositions needing to be encoded in this definition. "The earth is round" is a faithful reflection of the actual state of affairs in objective reality. It was a faithful reflection of the actual state of affairs in objective reality even before anyone was around to conceptualize this as a proposition. You don't think so?

> He says it is trivial to reproduce, you need like $10 worth of material (more to do it in a vacuum)

He lie.

Crookes radiometer don't work in really high vacuum, which is not cheap, if do all things with boring rules.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crookes_radiometer

Without rules, high vacuum is achievable on just ~150km, with amateur rocket, I hear in US somewhere about thousand dollars for sub-orbital launch (smallest orbital rocket cost about million).

For example in electronic microscope also used high vacuum, and such microscope usually cost about million dollars and as I remember, it need about tens hours to achieve such high vacuum, so could easy calculate, about thousand experiments in 3-4 years (accounting amortization period for high cost equipment), and also each experiment will cost about thousand dollars without interest rate.

I think, he is typical NASA scientist, bored at his work and have spare money to play game with fake patent.

As NASA worker, he really have possibility to place his experiments in high vacuum chamber, and I'm sure he have experience and seen nothing.

And I'm sure, he understand well, mentioned in patent configuration is very hard to research, and very easy to accidentally achieve some extraordinary results.

But you, humble reader, don't have such opportunities, but you could donate to him for his crazy experiments.
Microsoft has been flopping with their naming recently... Case in point, Copilot. GitHub Copilot, Microsoft Copilot, Office 365 Copilot... all different products for different uses. Still can't figure out why they didn't follow through with Cortana being the OS copilot name and retired it. It was such a perfect fit. My only guess is that they are worried about anthropomorphizing the AI.

If your password is written down, then it is fair game for seizure.

If your password must be divulged from you with forced complicity, then the complicity is self-incriminating; the constitution forbids this.

As an actual sidestep, you could be legally obliged to provide your password to a third-party computer; the current legal hiccup (although not in issue in practice) is to make your password itself incriminating.

I’m at the point where my peers complain about getting older.[1] And I’ve started wondering how much of that is really about age and how much is the cumulative effects of “lifestyle”.

Zen of Python – Reggeaton Version [video]
To be honest, I disagree. Unix filenames are printable text, they're just text that the OS chooses not to enforce any validation on. Especially since the charset is implied by your choice of locale, which is a user decision, not a kernel decision. But we've transitioned into a world where pretty much all systems have settled on UTF-8 as the charset of choice, and the OS's refusal to even permit kernel options to forcibly validate filenames as UTF-8 is starting to look like a poor decision.

(IIRC, at least one of the BSDs has actually moved to forcing filenames to be UTF-8 and refusing path names that aren't UTF-8. Would only that Linux moved down that path as well so that we could be done with this farce.)
The case is simple and easy. It's not a violation of the 8th amendment since the amendment restricts the punishment and not the underlying crime.
