It's not the government assistance that's the problem (that shouldn't carry a stigma per se) - it's the fact that Amazon doesn't pay for it's own externalities (if you can call workforce exploitation an "externality")

Imagine a scenario where "assistance" wasn't stigmatized and Amazon had to pay higher taxes fully proportionate with the cost of paying it's employees properly?

I mean - at that point they might as well pay people properly!
It is great that the author included some known pieces for you to "watch" (click the music icon on the bottom right). Of course one first goes to Bach to test the mettle. While "watching" BWV 578 one thing I immediately noticed was how the rhythm of the counterpoint stood out to me in a new way. I have seen many visualizers (the great https://www.youtube.com/user/smalin/videos deserves mention), but I have found most to have some sort of constant object moving around to visualization the tones (i.e. a ball moving up and down). In this case, there is no "moving object" that we follow and we are instead left with the tones in isolation. I greatly enjoyed seeing how this increased my appreciation of Bach's rhythmic counterpoint as I could see when multiple strings were plucked at the same time with the clear purple coloring. Amazing work!
I just ran phi3:mini[1] with Ollama on an Apple M3 Max laptop, on battery set to "Low power" (mentioned because that makes some things run more slowly). phi3:mini output roughly 15-25 words/second. The token rate is higher but I don't have an easy way to measure that.

Then llama3:8b[2]. It output 28 words/second. This is higher despite the larger model, perhaps because llama3 obeyed my request to use short words.

Then mixtral:8x7b[3]. That output 10.5 words/second. It looked like 2 tokens/word, as the pattern was quite repetitive and visible, but again I have no easy way to measure it.

That was on battery, set to "Low power" mode, and I was impressed that even with mixtral:8x7b, the fans didn't come on at all for the first 2 minutes of continuous output. Total system power usage peaked at 44W, of which about 38W was attributable to the GPU.

I'd argue it barely works in C++ as well. I've seen so many poorly implemented classes that violate the very complicated 3/5/0 rule. It's much easier to do RAII correctly in Rust since people aren't constantly working with raw pointers and since objects which are moved somewhere else are not dropped like they are in C++.

One variant that I think might work even better than RAII or defer in a lot of languages is having a thread local "context" which you attach all cleanup actions to. It even works in C, you just define cleanup as a list of

typedef void(cleanup_function*)(void* context);

which is saved as into a thread local. Unlike RAII, you don't need to create a custom type for every cleanup action and unlike the call-with pattern from functional programming, lifetimes of these lists can be non-hierarchical.

However, I'm still glad to see defer being considered for C. It's a lot better than using goto for cleanup.

I had a fun time making a game using MIDI with some friends for a game jam. There was a godot extension for MIDI (that I ended up mostly cannabalizing to get more control) and I used it to read and animate musical bars in a sort of guitar hero-y setup.

It was a fun project, although the game was a little rough around the edges to say the least.
There have always been sociopaths, and it hasn't caused everyone to act like sociopaths. So that right there breaks the "perfect sense" claim.
At the very least they should have auto-closing and matching parens. I dread to think how many people have been put off Lisp because they think we actually type all those parens (in fact Lisp users have enjoyed IDE features many programmers could only dream of for decades).
Heh. I got confused by the article:

> ESA’s heater units will not only be a first for Europe, but the first anywhere to use americium-241, a by-product of plutonium decay that packs less power per gram than its predecessor

... except that decay occurs from Pu-241, a different isotope which is not what seems to be commonly used for RTGs, and has a half-life of only about 14 years.
Going after a more profitable segment as your ideal customer makes sense as you learn more but have you talked to people in that niche to learn about their needs? Are you changing your marketing to reach them?

It really depends on what you're using. If you use Rust with `wasm32-unknown-unknown`, you'll likely get small binaries (<200 kB). If you use C++ and Emscripten with all features enabled, then yeah you'll have multiple megabytes with all the libcxx and musl stuff.
"Living wage" assumes you're the head of a household, so it's a pretty incoherent idea applied to just anyone. You can live on pretty much anything as long as another member of the household can supply the rest.

Minimum wage increases generally do not negatively affect employment, but if you set the minimum wage high enough to be a head of household "living wage", it certainly would make people unemployed.

Or instead we could pay people welfare benefits and support them that way.
I'm seeing about 19% on Medicaid and about 12.5% are on Food Stamps. In theory that could be up to 1/3, but there's presumably a lot of overlap... so maybe 25% give or take?
Oh, interesting. Yeah, that's even better for an onboarding tutorial. I didn't know it existed (used Clojure for 6 years a long time ago).

I am in the States and have noticed the stars beneath each post on LinkedIn. Recently, there was a post about someone receiving their degree, and the AI suggested, "Would you like to learn more about XYZ University's degree?" As a mechanical engineer, I would not be interested in a master's in cybersecurity—it's completely irrelevant. I don't mind AI, but it should at least be relevant to the user. That's not too much to ask. Additionally, I've observed significant performance lags. What used to load in a second now takes several seconds. I'm not sure if it's just me, but it feels like a step backward. This isn't new to tech though. Remember how we completely moved away from plaintext emails to now fancier ones that contain a lot of visual garbage and links but not actual content?
And you can't just slap in americium without consequences either.
It is in effect a subsidy to employers, while still being a benefit to employees.

As prior evidence shows, there is always someone willing to work for less, if they have to. As such, the only real solution to the issue that does not make the economic situation worse for employees is to punish corporations for paying so little that their employees need benefits from the government.

Anything else only hurts the employees or provides greater subsidy to the employer.
For anyone curious about the math:

The Amazon CEO pay was $212 million in 2021.

There are 700k warehouse workers.

If the CEO put 99% of their pay to the warehouse workers, each would get an about $300/year, or $25/month more.

I totally understand the drive to a more modern shell language. But why translate Amber into bash, why not execute it directly? Why there isn't an Ambersh?

We got some great BASH alternatives: Zsh, Fish, Elvish, Nushell, Xonsh. I did not evaluate them all, but if Amber is even better, why not have Ambersh?

Can somebody please explain?
It's incrementally better for them to be making $20 instead of $10, sure. But it's worse for the world for that to be footed by the tax payer instead of by the trillion dollar company that they work for. In effect the tax payers are lining Amazon's pockets.
This is pretty unlikely from a Darwinian perspective.

Go is definitely a decent solution but I'm surprised why you aren't using Python. Most Linux and BSD distros have access to a default install of Python. Even if the version is a bit old, if all you're doing is hydrating templated configuration and doing bookkeeping for eventually running a binary with some parameters, older versions of the standard library will do just fine.

That's a big "when". Often it is not. Real life is often more maleable.

For similar reasons I don't need aeronautical engineering to fix my kids bike. Good enough is good enough.

You should try. If at least to have a more educated opinion on the matter.
As a curmudgeonly refuser of the fad, I feel a little vindicated.

For implementing tasks I want help with, I would rather consume it as a testable auditable library, rather than ephemeral copy-paste delivered by a mischievous fae of air and darkness.

No, wages are set by negotiating with workers; Amazon is not purely a price setter of wages. That means giving workers money lets them get better wages. (They would be one if they were a monopsony though. But mostly they aren't.)

> under pressure from the government to take any Job.

Work requirements for welfare can indeed hurt workers this way by making them take worse jobs.
I had a Psion 3a - it fit in my back pocket and was strong enough it didn't break when I sat on it. I carried it everywhere and used it as my main device for taking notes in meetings - the combination of form factor and a usable keyboard was great.

Then I lost it and got a Psion 5 as a replacement. Despite the keyboard and software being way better, it was just that little bit larger and heavier so that I didn't carry it everywhere. It lived in my bag, not my pocket, so in the end I used it less.

So I switched to a Palm V, which was a wonderful light form factor and looked fabulous, but I found I didn't really use it at all, except as an address book. The lack of a physical keyboard made it basically useless for my main purpose.

In the end, I ended up with an ultra-lightweight Sony Vaio PCG-505 laptop, ran FreeBSD on it, added a Ricochet radio modem, and never looked back. Even 27 years later, I still think the PCG-505 form factor looks good, and at 1.3kg it weighed the same as today's lightest Macbook Air.
This is how our system works. The government subsidizes corporate low wage work, and everyone pats themselves on the back for being so enormously virtuous, truly the most wonderful people ever to have graced the earth. The circuitous redistribution is a feature and not a bug of the system. It prevents competition, which makes shareholders happy. It also provides a minimum standard of care for workers, who would otherwise need to be replaced at higher rates.

Should the companies shoulder more of the burden? It would be fairer and more just, but words about justice are cheap and power is expensive.

>People are asking too much of Alphabet. Alphabet could easily choose not to publish anything. To be honest, I'm shocked that they do publish.

Yeah, no. No one would be working at Alphabet if they didn't publish this work. Which means the work would never get done to begin with.
Maybe if those people started visibly failing at their jobs, they'd either upskill or be forced out, and then the magical hand of the market would raise salaries for the rest of us.

> moving between release or debug affects nothing

I'd start with that, it's an obvious red flag. Switching between both should create huge differences. Also look into `wasm-opt` from the Binaryen project for post-link optimizations, `wasm-ld` from LLVM isn't that great at DCE.
>If the first half of your statement is true, then why do the billions of people subsisting on a few dollars a day around the world do not have society-wide problems with drug abuse and mental illness?

I have no idea how I would tackle the problem with Go or Rust. But Python with pyinfra comes to mind as a sane enough solution. Since we decided to move from Puppet to pyinfra at work, I don't see myself writing any sysadmin scripts in bash again anytime soon.

Although Bash is still king for small utilities, I have found myself writing such scripts in Janet[1] recreationally. Bringing the functional paradigm to shell scripts really is a lot of fun, if you belong to that conviction. Although the lack of portability and the fact that you need to "know Bash" to even use the Janet `sh` library kind of guarantees that it will always just be for fun.

> We've already established through xz that you can't hand off a project in response to abuse, as that makes you responsible for it if the replacement installs malware, and demanding people accept permanent abuse is immoral and selfish.

You are right, but that does not necessarily mean that ceasing maintenance of the project is the only reasonable option. Although, it also does not necessarily mean that it is not a reasonable option. You can be too stressed to work on the project properly if you receive such abusive messages, so maybe it is reasonable. However, that does not necessarily mean that it is the only possible option. For example, maybe some people can handle it better than others, or maybe you can just disable the email so that you will not have to receive any more abusive messages like that while working on the project, etc.

About malware, that is a reasonable precaution. Of course other people can still maintain their own version of it if they like to do, but then they will have to call it a separate project (even if the file name is the same), so then they don't have the "hand off" problem like you describe as badly as that.

And since it is FOSS, you should not need to demand people accept permanent abuse, or to demand them to work on the project for any other reason. Proprietary software is more of a problem with this since then a vendor-lock is possible and if they refuse to work on it then it can affect everyone and it is much more difficult to recover from than FOSS.
This article is heavily, almost solely based on silly things like color grading and sky replacement, which compared to the actual stunts - you know, people hanging on poles from real vehicles in motion - is being very nit-picky.

It also seems there's a good reason for the changes, mentioned in the article itself:

> "The world was medieval, in a way, so it had to be grounded, and we had to do as much of it for real. However, there was not one shot in that movie that wasn’t CGI in one way or another. We shot over months, but [the story] was compressed in time over three days. Which meant the skies had to remain consistent, so every shot virtually had a changed sky. If you’re driving vehicles across the desert, you’re doing take after take, you’re doing track after track. You had to erase all but the necessary tracks…. Landscapes you had to change, if there was some greenery in it, and so on, and so on.”

This makes sense to me. I don't really care if the sky was replaced to color match the film. I care about the stunts, cars, trucks, I know that people performing crazy stunts are real, and most of it was captured in camera - more than I realized before watching the "making of" videos.
Open holes that you know about are one of the issues with the Colorado peaks. There are old mineshafts up there. The owners put up signs, they get torn down.

There's an interesting (slot canyon) local hike that's a good example. The whole situation is a mess, it's an old non-operating mine grandfathered inside what's now a national recreation area. Seems some years ago somebody's car was damaged (not exactly astounding, you need a 4x4 HCV and know how to drive it to get there.) Since it happened on private property their insurance tried to go after the landowner. For years it was posted as no trespassing although some groups still did sneak in. Then there was a period of a few years where it wasn't posted and we (local hiking community) believed it was accessible (nope--flash flood took out the signs and gate.) I went with one such group. There were a couple of mineshafts in the side of the canyon, imperfectly blocked by chain link fencing. Once glance inside was plenty to make me NOPE! it but some of the group squirmed in anyway.

After seeing that I completely understand why the owner denies access.

While I in general support a right to roam it needs to come with extremely strong liability protections. There are too many idiots out there who do not respect that nobody's combing the land for hazards, nor is it even possible as they may change. (There was a case a while back, trespassing IIRC biker got hurt because a flash flood had taken out the paved road he was on. Owner liable.)
You could just find a job to be fun.

Eventually there will be jobs not worth paying people to do; subsidizing that at the government level seems fine (albeit not capitalistic) but that does require taxation (not necessarily on the higher paying jobs) to cover the shortfall.

Seems like an interesting evolution of supply-chain attacks, since this is a bit more indirect. At least when a common open-source library gets poisoned, the code transparency makes it easier for someone to notice the issue and push put a patch.
I'm one of those mainstream devs (who also did Clojure for 6 years, coincidentally) who never got into emacs, and always just used the Cursive IDE plugin for IntelliJ and its Parinfer editing mode. I know I probably didn't unlock true god mode of productivity, but it worked fine for me.
Rocket motors don't convert electrical energy into anything. Motorways are ways (roads) for automobiles, most of which which use petroleum products for their power. Motorcycles use gasoline to produce their mechanical motion.

I view "motor" as a subtype of "engine". An engine drives a process or system, either literally (producing power from some fuel or other energy source) or figuratively (as in Google's search engine). A motor is a type of engine that changes the momentum of some object.
Giving benefits to employees, instead of forcing the company to pay a living wage, is effectively a subsidy for corporate profits.
You'd be surprised, many people qualify for SNAP and may not realize it.

It's based on income, and handled by the states, and the income limit climbs based on number of children.

Some states you can get it if you're pregnant no matter what.

(It can often be a strategic thing to get if you can, because large numbers of other programs that require applications will declare you automatically qualify if you get SNAP.)

Most states are following the federal guidelines of 200% of the poverty line. Four kids is $80k a year and still qualifies.

I think bash scripts are perfectly fine for things like install scripts. The general advice isn't about the script getting too big, more so if its getting too complicated and you are already trying to use bash as a programming language.

Things like dealing with arrays, loops, calling APIs and parsing responses, etc. You certainly can do it all in bash, but at some point it becomes pretty unmaintainable.
