In the same sense that a machine maintenance person’s job is to not be involved in the machinery. Their job is not to operate the machine, but to make sure the machine operates correctly all on its own without intervention. Doing this correctly does take a lot of work.

Calling what they're doing "help" is a pretty .. let's say special ? way of looking at it. Hope you won't regret your pov once iranians are free again, hopefully not too far in the future.
What’s the relationship between llamafile and llama.cpp these days? IIRC, it was originally llama.cpp compiled with Cosmopolitan Libc. I’ve read more recently of optimizations in llamafile with comparisons against llama.cpp. Are those pushed upstream? Have the projects diverged?

In my grandma's village everyone knew that a neighbor was cheating, who got pregnant, and details about every single person in the village. Nowadays it's easy to track which websites I go to, but none of my neighbors have any clue about what I'm up to.

With this in mind, outright calling people that notice this gaslighters is immature. Make your point or don't.

Schema changes happen inside a database on the server but usually you need the DB and user provisioned first (generally using a superuser and the existing/default DB)

You can use the same tool, however it needs to connect to 1 DB, do the DB creation and role setup, then reconnect to a new DB.

If you have a single app or DB in a server, it can make sense to usually schema management but it's more complicated if multiple apps have their own DBs sharing the same server.

The last few places I worked had scripts that ran before schema management as a superuser then used the application framework schema management (migrations) thereafter.

They live a post-scarcity life, but not everyone does -- or can (probably, still). Once everyone could, the greedy hoarder mentality they (and pretty much all of us) operate under right now might (hopefully?) come to be seen as pathological, not ideal.

Ok, so it seems one would not need to switch phones (or ecosystem) because of related issues, one could just switch apps and use OpenCamera or something like this instead.
I think you’re mistaking C-style syntax for what modern C languages have adopted and become.

How many C style context even really exist today? The block separation by single characters is ok. Using (), [] and {} to separate things makes things easier on the compiler, but it’s probably down to personal preference whether you like that syntax or not. I certainly vastly prefer the more simplistic approach where you don’t have to wrap everything in brackets. Like a loop… why does it really have to be inside a () denotion? Similarly I prefer Pythons indent to {}’s. Which can technically make your code harder to read, but if your Python code is hard to read it’s likely bad. Not always, but most of the time. I guess {} is better than BEGIN END, but maybe not in terms of readability.

The end of line character, ; is also sort of unnecessary for the most parts. Again it’s mostly a relic which helps the compiler, and some people like it while others don’t.

Modern loops look nothing like they did in C. Neither does variables or properties.

The use of English for a lot of things, or the use of western character sets, is also sort of bad in the modern world. Which is part of the reason behind the huge popularity of Go in Asia. Not that it’s so bad as it’s just how it is and everyone has adopted.

Anyway. Modern C style syntax like you’ll finds in C# or Java is rather cumbersome in my opinion. Rust sort of falls into this category but at least with Rust it’s very easy to define ownership of your stored data as you pass it around in your code. But almost all of it is exactly that… modern. Almost none of it is from C and a lot of it would not have existed without languages like Ruby.

You also have to keep in mind that Ruby predates the modern C syntax. As others have mentioned it’s been influential on the modern C syntax, but it was also made in a world where they modern syntax simply didn’t exist.

It's true, we tried. At some point congressmen and senators decided to start handing billions to huge companies based on promises rather than creating public infrastructure. Now we give money to companies who say they will make the infrastructure, they don't, they legally eliminate competition, then consume more public resources when the public sues because they never created the infrastructure.

This is America. Give companies our tax dollars to be legal monopolies and make our lives suck.
That, and also most of the work of a church (interaction with laypeople) is self-evident, local, and easily managed. Once trained, a priest can be set loose on a community without much oversight.

Likewise, I can imagine a chain of Montessori schools being similarly organized, or a trade guild.
No they won't have different rents, if they are identical then they can charge the same amount. The costs (service charge, mortgage, etc) doesn't come into it.

Think about it - if I'm a landlord and have a lower service charge why would I charge less? That just reduces my revenue.

If I am a tenant and see one charging more than another why would I pay for the more expensive one?

> A user’s very first sync is likely to be the largest one, to seed all the data into the could.

You are almost guaranteed that the first sync results in zero conflicts. It's just a mass-upload. Even if you bring other clients in, there is still a very low chance and "last-one-wins" is a pretty decent policy for who gets the original filename and then other gets a " (copy)" suffix or something. Doesn't really matter as long as it's documented and intuitive.

Llamafile Not Making Sense
Smalltalk and C both came out in 1972 and it really isn't clear to me that C's crazy for-loop design -- one that actually isn't used by many programming languages -- is somehow better than the one used by Algol, so I am struggling to find even a single thing you said which is making any sense to me :(.

Virtualizing hardware and running extra copies of the kernel has a small overhead.

I'm not sure it matters for the majority of companies but it has a measurable impact for the gigantic ones.

Afaik containization was rooted in the ability to run multi tenant servers without semi trusted apps overstepping their bounds. See Google Borg and Facebook Tupperware (iirc they started as chroot automation and expanded)

Some stuff like Java have ran in a runtime level container long before OS containers so it seems a bit redundant there, but still facilities having conflicting versions of the runtime installed.

> the GNU/Linux driver land is full of closed blobs
> [...]
> Ever wondered why GNU’s GUIX doesn’t support Nvidia? That’s because the drivers are provided as blobs, and therefore closed-source. As a result, the work needed for BSD support is difficult and slow

Isn't it pretty much the only example of this? As long as you don't pick nvidia, you won't have proprietary drivers running.

Of course there are many firmware blobs. It's an issue, I would prefer not running any proprietary firmware, but I don't see how it would be a bigger issue in BSD land.

So yes, the issue is programs assuming Linux (though doesn't many people in the OSS ecosystem using Mac help a bit?), hardware support, and not as much help from the internet. Not too surprising, I would expect this; and the hardware support is what prevents me from considering *BSD. I didn't think of the fact you are not going to be on the bleeding edge too on *BSD, and that would be relevant to me, since I run a rolling distro and take this somewhat for granted.

Bonus note:

I would suggest "look it up" as a term that will remain stable and doesn't advertise a particular search engine. The best thing is you won't need a footnote either (however, I sympathize with the wish to make people use something else than Google).
> To give you an idea of just how low the fruit is hanging, approximately 100K fake children "vanished" from Australia's welfare system when the government introduced a system where you had to list each dependent child's Tax File Number (TFN) to claim welfare benefits.

The assumption here is that they're all fake rather than there being a non-trivial number of people who don't understand how to fill out the new forms, or aren't willing to admit to an association with an out-of-wedlock child on an official form even though the child is real and actually being supported etc.

> If you can get ID papers from random brokerages, then how is the government to perform a simple uniqueness check across brokerages?

Nobody other than the brokerage uses the brokerage's ID. That's what decentralized is. Children typically wouldn't have an ID from a brokerage anyway. The welfare agency would provide recipients with its own IDs. How does it establish uniqueness for this? The same way as the institution issuing a Tax File Number.

A good manager is simple to see: success is the team's, failure is their fault. If it is not the case, you have a bad manager.
That sounds like something is seriously wrong. Firefox works perfectly fine on Xorg here for the past 10 years or so, across multiple distros.
Some companies have stable size and nonzero dividends. And that's ok.
Using Meta as a source of good management is a fallacy that needs to be tackled.

Meta has only managed to release one new "domestic" product since facebook advertising (threads) and only one of the features released on the main apps has stuck (reels)

there is no strategic direction at meta, its a mass of noise, poor project management and bloated orgs craving for any metric of success other than what makes the user happy.

Meta is only successful because it has one team that brings in >90% of all income(Ads). Not only that but its incredibly good at it. Every other department is effectively a cost center.

Now Bayer might have ossified, given that it actually has a rule book (meta does not, it smears industrial quantities of docs at a wall to see what sticks)

Well, China's pumping out 7nm silicon by themselves now, en masse, and selling them for top yuans. Another guy here mentioned they're on par performance wise to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 line, that's fucking crazy, fucking impressive, and fucking terrifying.

Intel barely has Intel 4 (7nm) stumbling out the door on a wheelchair with square wheels if Meteor Lake has been anything to go by, their foundry business is bleeding out red ink, and they're even dependent on TSMC now: They aren't self sufficient anymore.

You tell me which is superior, because if you ask me it's not the blue guy whose name starts with I, and by extension it's not the guy in red/white/blue whose name starts with U.
Ah, a brilliant idea, design all languages so people who only know C can make small changes to existing Ruby code without getting confused. Definitely don't want to enable different abstractions or models of computation. Are these core principles in codebases you mentioned mostly "how to write stuff using C paradigms"? After all, "the Real Programmer can write FORTRAN in any language"
> How’s Netanyahu’s corruption trial going? Curious how that timing works out, haven’t heard much about since Israel started leveling Gaza…

It's been going pretty poorly actually as the defense actually had time to build a case and the prosecution has been shown to be purely politically motivated with very flimsy evidence such as "he didn't say it but his eyes implied it". Basically there isn't a case and it turns out that he's about as guilty as your average politician in any western country.

Which is... kinda guilty but also so is everyone... so if you're gonna treat him like enemy number one for accepting gifts from long time friends, then to actually make it fair you'd need to basically take out the entire elite-class in the entire western world in a french style revolution. Obviously there's no appetite for that, and all the people who will say "yea lets do that" don't actually think they'll be expected to follow through on dropping the guillotine or axe on any one's neck. So can comfortably pretend that they want "justice" when really all they want is their political rivals removed from power.

Which is fine, but don't pretend you're actually looking to root out corruption, as we saw with trump. Both sides were only willing to call out the other side's president for being careless with classified documents, while making every excuse for their own political leaders "mishaps".
The `sorted_list = my_list.sort()` is a bit of an odd case, though, because, as you've written it, `sorted_list` looks like a new list, even though `sort` does an in-place sort. (Javascript has exactly this problem, where `.sort` mutates the existing list, but can be chained in such a way that it looks like just another step, leading to surprises later on when the input data is suddenly different to how it used to be.)

In that regard, separating `sorted` (immutable, returns a new sorted list) and `sort` (mutates, returns nothing) helps a lot in terms of preventing subtle mistakes.

I don't know how Ruby handles this case though.

I am thinking of open sourcing the ozma-io core platform code

Now, my team will going to focus on the cloud and AI parts of the product, and it looks like there is no need to hide this huge codebase. I'll help our customers use their databases and change entities, fields, and columns using LLMs. But the core platform should be open.

Our partners already know the news. It is pretty big — an open-source business database platform on the market. Will see how Zoho and Odoo's partners will react. I would be happy if they joined our community and contributed to the ozma-io's backend and frontend repositories.

I want to do something big, not just a small SaaS company. Maybe open-source for this complicated software is the right way?

Please let me know if you know how to support our code drop with media or some open-source fans I can write to. It will be an exciting experience.

Try this experiment:

1. Write a macOS app that has a button which uses the file open window to load a document.

2. Enable the app sandbox by adding the relevant entitlement.

3. Prove to yourself it works by adding some code that directly fopen()s a file in your home directory and watching it fail.

4. Open that file by clicking the button and selecting it in the open dialog. Observe that you can now read it.

Or just go read Apple's documentation that explains their capabilities architecture in detail. Look for docs on sandbox extensions and Mach ports.
