It’s devex. Not for you, but for the reader. It’s part of the craft. We can argue about whether craftsmanship is creative or skill, but at the end of the day it’s satisfaction that they are chasing. Satisfaction they are denied at work.

Not that they can’t find at work. It’s actively taken away from them.
Objection! The blog's rss page doesn't block common browser user agents, so it's still technically possible to view in a web browser. ;)

More seriously, RSS readers do exist which use the browser's user agent, so I don't recommend blocking those.

On the contrary, as a senior developer you should be able to look at and see the team-wide benefits of consistency. You don't have to handhold new junior devs to learn the style, you don't need to watch their PRs to see if they're being consistent, and you don't need to argue with other senior devs about whether something should be on a single line or not. You just let the automatic formatter do its thing.

Being a senior eng isn't about always knowing what's right, it's about knowing how to keep the team moving efficiently.
No, globalization wasn't supposed to align social values, and the article itself clarifies this point. While some thought globalization might lead to a convergence of social values based on liberal ideals of personal rights and freedoms, this assumption was overly simplistic.

The idea that globalization would lead to a universal adoption of Western values seems almost laughable. It's as if they had never engaged with cultures like China, where Western ideals can feel as alien as their own do to us. Concepts like democracy, with its emphasis on individual choice, don't necessarily resonate in societies where centralized leadership is seen as more effective. Likewise, the Western emphasis on individualism contrasts with cultures that prioritize community and collective responsibility.

It's not that these values are inherently wrong; they're just different. There's no inherent reason for cultures to adopt Western values. If anything, the spread of Western ideals across the globe has often been the result of colonialism, where Western nations imposed their ideologies on other societies, claiming them to be superior.

That is utter BS, though. The supercharger network has been complimented as the most reliable charging network in north american for years now.

How are you going to maintain the network after firing all the talent? Why do expansion and maintenance have to be at odds?
The point of automatic formatters is that they are universally enforced. There is no violation of the rule, even if you have a "good reason". If you have a pattern of good reasons, you can write to whoever controls your team's coding standards/linter rules and suggest a tweak, but you never have one-off violations, you just accept the automatic format.

Looks like Safari beta is the only current option.

It's always funny how Safari gets so much heat on HN for being "behind" on things, when it's so often ahead on features.

NextDNS _does help_ though by way of being DoH, so while your packets might be traversing a less desirable path they’re not readable.
> Arrays in C have length information.

Not in any sense that is actually useful to the programmer, at runtime at least. You cannot ask an array how big it is.

Pointers actually do have length information as well, otherwise free() would not work. But its the same deal with arrays - there is no way to access it outside of compile time constants, if those are even present.
I kind of wonder if high interest rates are starting to cut into Tesla investment. They have only been profitable since 2019 and peaked in late 2022. At $17 billion and a market cap of half a trillion, that's only a 3% profit over investment. When you can make 7% on a savings account that doesn't seem sustainable.

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/TSLA/tesla/gross-p...

So the only reason to invest in Tesla now is possible future growth, however the outlook for growth at Tesla is looking grim now that their revenue is flattening and they have excess inventory. In addition, the entry into the market by major competitors like Toyota, GM, Ford, and Hyundai makes this outlook even more bleak.

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/TSLA/tesla/revenue

Tesla is going to need to pull a rabbit out of their hat. That could have been a network of Tesla charging stations. Maybe that's why they laid off their supercharging team? To make room for something a bit more ambitious? Musk is definitely going to have to do SOMETHING soon.
I moved the last sentence to a new paragraph so it is more easily understood I mean to recommend a visit to the chinampas in general.

Yes. It's network effect. Even if all of the miners simultaneously decided to go big block or some other controversial change that most people don't want, the majority of the population's nodes would then not accept the mined blocks. They'd see the rate of new blocks drop to 0, and people would instantly start mining on their PCs to get the block reward. Some of the miners would start to change their mind and start mining with ASICs for the easy block-reward and eventually the hash-rate would build back up again, with the previous miners or without them.

The non-mining nodes in fact can completely destroy the ASIC miners by upgrading to a new POW algorithm. Hopefully it will never come to that, but ultimately the people, with their non-mining nodes have the power, not the miners. The only way miners can successfully change bitcoin is if the vast majority of people agree with the change.

This is a very creative re-imagining of reality. Israel has always respected ceasefires. The last time one was broken was in 2014 where Hamas killed Israeli soldiers during a ceasefire.

The US cut off Israel multiple times including in the 80s. If you go back further you can find a point in time where the UK and US had a plot to bomb Israel.

How ceasefires work is through a promise of hostage releases. E.g. on the last ceasefire we had we were promised all the women and children. Hamas didn't deliver on all of them and frequently delayed release to test the patience of Israel. They are a suicidal, religious cult.

> which I kind of doubt as most Hamas members have civilian family members victims of the ongoing genocide

First, there's no genocide.

Second. The head of Hamas posted a photo of him delivering the news of his sons death in the conflict to his wife. They were both smiling at the news in the photo. Hamas are not western people with western sensibilities and you should stop thinking of them in these terms.

They consider every death that's a part of Jihad (including children, including direct family) to be a blessing. That's insane. They purposefully started this conflict and are purposefully extending it in order to manipulate American sentiment. They understand that the west is soft of heart, that it's easy to manipulate us.
BTW, the "curse of dimensionality" technically refers to the relative sparsity of high-dimensional space and the need for geometrically increasing data to fill it. It has nothing to do with storage. And typically in vector databases the data are compressed/projected into a lower dimensionality space before storage, which actually improves the situation.
Not only that:

> Natron says its batteries charge and discharge at rates 10 times faster than lithium-ion, a level of immediate charge/discharge capability that makes the batteries a prime contender for the ups and downs of backup power storage. Also helping in that use case is an estimated lifespan of 50,000 cycles.

So you take up more space, but the storage system is better in every other way (agility, conflict mineral free, longevity, cost). Feels like this puts a nail in the coffin of fossil generation.

Edit: Assuming 1 cycle per day, that is a lifetime of ~137 years. More aggressive cycling is still very favorable.
> The word "amateur" has negative connotations, but should really be interpreted as "not your primary pay cheque", not that you suck.

The negative connotations is a more recent development:

> The meaning "one who cultivates and participates (in something) but does not pursue it professionally or with an eye to gain" (as opposed to professional) is from 1786; often with disparaging suggestions of "dabbler, dilettante," but not in athletics, where the disparagement shaded the professional, at least formerly. As an adjective, by 1838.

* https://www.etymonline.com/word/amateur

It comes from the from the Latin amatorem, "lover": someone who does something not for any practical reason, but simply for the enjoyment / love of the activity. How well one does it does not necessarily come into consideration, as long as there is enjoyment.
This is actually the opposite point to what you were trying to make. Nazism was the result of violent extremism becoming politically mainstream, and is the danger in normalizing and sympathizing and treating with violent extremists. It does not reform them, it corrupts society.

I don’t think your comparison to the Irish Revolution is accurate as there is no country occupying the United States. These people have the same political liberties and possibilities as any other citizen.
Same with HyperStudio, which is a shame.
I’ve been using and still using Mullvad but also getting worried.
I live in nyc and in the last few months I’ve seen a _lot_ of ads from them. Huge billboards in high-traffic areas. Full-sized ads on a side of a bus. A whole subway car just with mullvad ads.

Some of the ads also felt deceptive making it seem like it will prevent all your online tracking, even though we know that’s not the case.
Depending on cause, this could be a good thing. If it’s simply because phones last longer that great.

As a one man software consultant, I just want to point out that you are working with clients, in their systems, on their problems. You provide advice, they make the decisions they deem best for their company.

You get to choose the problem spaces and teams, which is a degree of autonomy. But it is not quite so free as “making your own decisions and not answering to anybody.”
> it’s nice to see upstarts like CLO trying to apply the Final Cut Pro formula to dethrone them.

Sorry if it was implied that I thought it was scientific or accurate. My comment was intended to be sarcastic. Every now and then people drag out these weird, "this is why Genghis Khan was so successful" stories.
I didn't realize they had that option. In general, I still find absurdity in what an NP can do vs an unmatched doctor. That's entirely incoherent.

The problem isnt that this is how they built it, it makes logical sense to do it this way.

The problem is that they went hard on how it couldn't just be an app, even making a thread on twitter about it.

Its kinda a big deal that it could in fact just be an app.
How were you using port forwarding with an external VPN?
But then you still probably choose to drive your car every day, despite that doing so is many, many times more risky than flying over the ocean in a twinjet.

Human preferences ultimately shape these marketplaces, but humans are fundamentally terrible at evaluating risk, especially for extremely negative but highly unlikely outcomes (see also: terrorist attacks, home invasions, etc).
Personally I wanted an ergonomic mechanical keyboard I could shove in my bag and take to the office, and that meant something not-full-size. Once I'd made the decision that it wasn't going to be a full-size keyboard, that meant learning layers on a fractional layout, and it was the need to hammer the layering into my muscle memory that meant my fractional keyboard became my daily driver at home as well.

I only swap it out now if I want to do things in Blender, because that's very keyboard-heavy in a way that really assumes all the keys are laid out in front of you, including the keypad.

Yes, the client could be a "sim swap" victim, and in that case you would be talking to an attacker. So the identity validation can be useful in that case.

I gave on trusting phones to secure data a long time ago. But my approach is, at least when on wifi, to allow access to the internet only if the device connects to a local vpn gateway. 100% leak proof and prevents almost all wifi/lan/mitm attacks.
Funnily enough a lot of Polish art was "lost" during WWII. Every now and then it resurfaces from someone's "private collection" in Germany. German government is kind enough to let Poles bid for the art they carelessly lost during that affair in the 1940s. If it is for sale, that is - much of it isn't.

Whatever you think of the police, most police forces are not violent extremists. The idea of policing is mainstream in almost all societies.
Better, more efficient technology rarely reduces the sticker price for customers. If the underlying product or service is cheaper to produce or provide, the price will stay the same (or increase) and the difference will be pocketed by shareholders. This is pretty much always what happens.

Same on the employee side. As an employee, if you adopt some technology that makes you 2X more productive, you're not going to get a 2X compensation increase. That delta will be captured and pocketed by the business.
Also I think the step you feel you are missing is the one where the combining of codepoints into ligatures and laying out of text on screen is done. Google Chrome uses a library called Pango to do this IIRC. Edit: maybe it's one called Skia instead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_text_layout

What a weird article and nonsense premise.

Globalization was never about values. It was always about capital being global and having access to workforces of multiple countries. It was about squeezing efficiency out of cheap workforces previously unavailable, while shifting all the unsavory stuff out of eyesight of your consumers and constituents.

To think that this would "align" the poor country workforce with the developed country consumerist demographic is such absolute nonsense.
fair point. but that assumes:

1.) the system strictly respects user-configured DNS; and

2.) that the leak of some private data is acceptable. leaked traffic is still leaked even if otherwise encapsulated by some other encryption mechanism outside of an otherwise properly-configured VPN tunnel.

#1 is of course a much larger risk assumption to swallow.
Yes, but does that make it any less useful for safety-of-life, especially given that Starlink is not even a viable alternative for that application yet?
If Apple didnt artifically „break” phones with software downgrades - that phone with replaced battery could work perfectly fine for 10+ years.

To tackle climate issues we have to enforce an improvement to quality of produced goods.

> I have read many reports of people saying that Steohen Wolfram is a narcissist and full of himself

This is a subjective trait and based on the perception of the observer. Arrogance and competence can be easily confused depending on how much the observer likes or dislikes one person. More often than not, the person calling another narcissist/full of themselves is the one with low self esteem that use themselves as baseline to judge others.

One of the best and most memorable experiences I've had was sleeping in Premium Economy on the upper deck of a BA A380 back from San Francisco (from a work trip). It's quiet and the ride quality comfortable. It's a shame the food on that trip didn't make up for it.

The A380 is one of my favourite aircraft. I never flew on a 747 and likely never will now, so it's the next best thing I've got for a two-deck experience.
This is absolutely entirely untrue. Read the fine print on your policy.
That doesn't really change much. Assuming the numbers are correct, there are 6 billion people have smartphones and 2 billion have PCs. That still means Google and Apple collectively control the majority of world's digital distribution. I suspect many of those PCs are not used nearly as much as the phones as well and have far less digital content on them (apps/music/movies/games/books)
The point is, there isn't literally a smoking crater where Twitter HQ used to be, therefore all criticism of the acquisition is invalid.

Epistemology is tricky, isn't it?

By your standard, most of us also don't "know" that the Civil War happened or that there is a vacuum in space. It's deductions, inductions, personal attestations, and consensuses all the way down. Yet, to navigate a modern world that presents itself as scientific and evidence-based, most of us adopt beliefs about these things -- sometimes with much stubbornness and sometimes very lightly -- and call these things "knowledge" too.

You can be a stickler about your use of the term, but the more you are, the more distanced you find yourself from common usage, the more needlessly contentious and pedantic discussions become, and the more you're left to come up with your own language to describe all the usages you've chosen to reject.
