This would be an OK way of running things if we had a court with any legitimacy. Unfortunately partisanship has ruined any hope of that. (And actually, it would be better if laws could be interpretable by normal people without an SC case, but that would be too sensible).

If you do actual open source and your product is any good, somebody else is just going to repackage it and sell it, either as SAAS/IAAS or as a boxed product. So why not get there first? It's depressing. That's been my experience every time I gave code away, at least. Somebody else made money off it.

Would be great if the Nango team can address it but my experience as that "300 dollars per hour" consultant (although I never got to see anywhere close to that) is that most ERP systems are heavily customized that it would be hard to auto-generate endpoints/documentation off of it.

The big ISPs that could get away with shifting the status quo have some presence in California, and most of the big tech companies that you'd want to convince to pay you to prioritize their traffic are in California. Not to mention the fact that it can be difficult to tell if your customer is in California: what if their cellphone is connecting to a Nevada cell tower, but is actually in CA, and thus protected by law? What if the customer is using a VPN?

It's messy enough that, given the pretty limited upside, I can see why companies would be hesitant to try and work around it.

No, but again we were talking about the present.

> we can pretend to know a-priori whether changes to the status quo on gun rights

We don't need to pretend, thankfully: we have mountains of historical data on arms regulation we can cite - many of these regulations currently exist or existed for some substantial amount of time (and possibly ran/run afoul of current liberty-preserving SCOTUS 2A interpretation.)

The typical argument is: "Well, if we just banned them all it would work! We didn't go far enough, that's why!"

If this were a widely accepted idea, we would have ratified an amendment repealing the Second already.
Hard to see how reducing deference could lead to less consistency. You are literally commenting on a post about the FCC reinterpreting their authority to regulate internet broadband years after the lawsuits over the original Net Neutrality laws concluded.

If Loper Bright had been decided ten years ago we would already know today whether the FCC possessed this authority or not and it would be settled. Instead, we are about to embark on another round of litigation because the FCC just unsettled expectations again.

Case 1: agencies reinterpret the law ever four years in each new administration until the end of time.

Case 2: we figure out what the law means once and apply it going forward until Congress changes it again.

Lots of things are fully fungible (e.g., money, fuels of the same specs. Water is fungible but the supply network is not.).

I assume those are the guys who are voting for the party opposed to one you're voting for, correct?

> actively stifling progress is not actually funny

Another thing that is less than funny is assuming that there's some universal definiton of "progress" and those who disagree are just doing it out of stupid stubbornness, unwilling to concede the obvious truth.

> It is not possible for me to base my legislative direction on “everyone that is not cis white is bad”.

It's not possible to anybody. Literally nobody does that. It's a crude caricature. By perpetuating this caricature as if it had any bearing to reality, you are a major part of the problem.

> if that's what keeps you listening.

That's the key, though. Kids are generally biased toward new music. This phenomenon is perfectly natural and consistent over the generations, as shown in the article. In the 1980s, it wasn't particularly hard to "discover" 70s or 60s music, and indeed parents might want their kids to listen to their music, but that's not necessarily what the kids want to listen to, because it's not cool. Parents are uncool. Kids want their own music.

What's interesting, though, is that GenZ and Millennials appear to be less biased toward the new music and less biased against the old. The fact that every song ever is available for streaming doesn't mean that people want to listen to every song ever. My understanding is the streaming plays are very top-heavy toward the top artists, and smaller artists are struggling mightily under the streaming payout system.

This was some of the funniest shit I've read in a long time. 100% relate to the rampant cargo cult culture: "Oh, nice, I see you abstracted the clock but not using a mock in the tests, why did you abstract it?" ... "I read an article saying it should be..."

I recommend just walking into places that look interesting to work at and literally giving them your resume in person. Granted, I haven't done that since pre-covid, but it used to work well. I'd sometimes walk in and then just turn around (could tell immediately it wasn't a place I wanted to work). Sometimes, I'd get invited to lunch and get a job offer before the day was over. Granted, that was pre-covid, so in the days of hybrid/remote work, this probably doesn't work as well.

Anyway, finding a job is shit. This I totally agree with.
It's worth considering that while the equipment in use in the ukraine conflict is obviously relevant, the nature of the conflict is radically different from what the US would face. Ukraine is literally on Russia's doorstep, allowing Russia to send its units in and pull them back for repairs with relatively limited logistical strain. This allows it to use massive numbers of cold war surplus assets that would not be viable anywhere else on earth. Ukraine started the war with an extremely small air force and has received only very limited support in that regard, meaning it has spent the entire war without air control. This both limits Ukraine's capacity to use tactics which rely on air support and gives Russia the ability to operate its air forces in relative safety. US doctrine is completely based around air superiority. Ukraine had an extremely limited standing army and military industrial capacity prior to the war, and has relied heavily on non-professional troops who volunteered or were conscripted after the war started and received only moderate training, and it is dependent on foriegn support for advanced arms and munitions. The US has both the strongest standing army and the most advanced military industrial complex in human history. The issues Ukraine is struggling with now - pushing into areas Russian troops have spent months fortifying while having to conserve artillery shells, holding off an unending trickle of 60 year old soviet tanks, and having to jerry-rig long range drones to attack targets in Russia - are challenges that simply wouldn't exist if the US were fighting a war. If our goal was really to get useful data that would be applicable to US conflicts, we'd be giving the Ukrainians the means to fight the way we fight.
This is textbook oligopoly.

My bet is that the future of software engineering will "shift left" towards product requirement completion rather than focusing on writing raw source code. More emphasis will be on how to translate requirements into software, without worrying too much about writing code itself, kind of like how we don't worry about assembly code or compilers now.

May a new form of user interaction more tailored for product manager or product engineers would be the trend?

Anyway, I am building my own AI coding tool towards that direction with a new user experience focused on task instead of code: https://prompt.16x.engineer/

This is an important discussion to protect America’s democracy. Most of our political discussion as a society happens online. The public square is now big online social media platforms, which are pretty shielded from competition due to network effects. This document leads with some loaded language, but I think its core ideas are true - technology companies have employees that are overwhelmingly left leaning and this shows up in their products - like their terms of service, content polices, moderation practices, etc. That skews our entire democratic process.

The recommendations on Page 10 are actually very mild. It’s basically pushing for transparency, and it’s hard to argue for something so basic. But I think the recommendations should actually go much further. Personally I think technology platforms above a certain number of users should just be treated like public utilities or common carriers and regulated to serve all users neutrally. Your power utility (even if privately operated) cannot cut you off based on your political opinion, and it shouldn’t be possible for big tech companies to do the same.

There are de-facto one party systems in many cities, counties, and some states. They all suffer from getting nothing done. “Both sides” is a legitimate observation by those who recognize politics as upper class nobility vs the peasants. They run in the same social circles. We’re still primates at our core.
Ryanair don't sell return tickets, they sell you two 'one way' tickets, last I checked.

The metric means what it has always meant: lower numbers mean higher transistor density on some area (the digital part) of the chip.

What more do you want? It’s as meaningful as a single number ever could be.

If you’re a consumer - if you don’t design chips - lower number means there’s some improvement somewhere. That’s all you need to know. It’s like horse powers on a car. The number doesn’t tell you everything about the performance under all conditions but it gives a rough idea comparatively speaking.

If you’re a chip designer then you never cared about the number they used in naming the process anyway. You would dig into the specification and design rules from the fab to understand the process. The “nm” number might show up in the design rules somewhere.. but that’s never been relevant to anyone, ever.

I really don’t understand why so many commenters feel the need to point out that “nm” doesn’t refer to a physical dimension. Who cares? It doesn’t have any impact on anyone. It’s very mildly interesting at best. It’s a near meaningless comment.
this is fantastic! great work...
To be fair Congress does some work. They have avoided 2 government shutdowns. They funded the war efforts in Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. They passed the infrastructure bill.

The reality is, they just don't care about net neutrality. I'm still mad that they haven't passed the bill that gets rid of DST (or rather, gets rid of standard time). Everyone wants it in both parties. Just get it done.

Even more annoying is the whole Section 174 debacle. Completely killing the field of software engineering in the US.

I was willing to give this report a genuine read. I read the first paragraph of the report and thought "there is no way a minimally competent, breathing human could have wrote this and thought it was ok for release"

Then I read the authors name and figured out why.
Part of the reason some one like Modi came into power and has been able to maintain it (amongst many other reasons) is people were disgusted by the continuous reversal of administrations and their policies. Nothing ever progressed to completion. That malcontent is generally settling into the west as well and strongmen are looking more and more attractive. The auth option in the US is a regressive dummy, but India, China and several African, Latin American and South East Asian countries have competent people filling those roles.
Obviously that's not the goal but just to add an additiional revenue stream for the city while lying the local plebs straight in the face.
I should have been more precise - the Senate's rules are garbage and should be hurled into the Sun. More generally, my comments come from watching PMQ's in the House of Commons and seeing that the party out of power really doesn't have many tools to slow down the opposite sides agenda.

If such a system was implemented in the US, it would force politicians to more carefully consider their positions -- no confidence votes and a motion to vacate serve the man functional purpose as a stick to get people in line, which might not otherwise be possible if they consistently took unpopular positions.
It's a bit disingenuous to slap 11 9s in the first phrase of something called MemoryDB and drop "durability" after, implied by the otherwise boring durability of S3.

This said, it's not bad. I'd keep in mind that the paper is one thing and putting your money where your mouth is means having an SLA for latency. So far, Google's BigTable is the only service with a read latency SLA.

> Yeah, the main issue with I2C for this sort of thing is device discovery. It doesn't have any mechanism for it so you would need to magically know your device's address.

The typical address space is 7-bits, so you can just try a transaction to everyone... Or have some convention about what device number the display is?
Languages are tools - yes, but different languages aren't necessarily different kinds of tools. When we talk of actual tools, we need wrenches, screw drivers, pliers, hammers, etc. Some of these languages you mentioned are more like different brands of tools rather than different kinds of tools, e.g. Java and C#. One is Husky, the other is Craftsman - that is, they're the same tool.

Now if you said you need a systems language, a scripting language, an imperative language, an object-oriented language, a functional language, a logic language, a matrix language, and a lispy language in your toolbox, then sure - that makes sense. But in my experience that is not what people are saying, and that's why I'm pushing back on this way of thinking.

We ranked candidates out of four, and this candidate was a four across the board. Experience in our tech stack, demonstrated competency, passed the lunch test, etc. The team was eager to get them started because we were desperate for more hands on. The team was at one point 6 and we were short handed, but through people resigning we were down to 4, with me taking the role of senior engineer and team lead.

This was an unequivocal HR lied and kept the mirage of "help is coming don't worry!".

Yes there's overhead of us spending time doing the interviewing, but a few hours here and there once a month is enough to keep the charade going. The applications site would go first to HR, then they'd put resumes in front of me. I always wondered why I couldn't just see everyone that applied and why it had to be filtered first; after this event I understood why. I suspect there was plenty more applicants than I was told of.
