Tools are good servants but bad masters. When you place too much value on the tool you no longer own it, it owns you.

Be of one mind with the tool. Use it to complete your purpose. Then, the work complete, put the tool down and walk away. The only path to serenity.
I like Rust a great deal and really enjoy using it, but I also think it's kind of ugly. Like I'm talking surface level aesthetics, purely subjective. I can't quite put my finger on why. I think it's to do with the heavy use of special characters?

And sometimes it’s the opposite
Norway's vehicle fleet is now 25% EVs and their per capita electricity usage is the same it was a decade ago[1]. Oil infrastructure uses a ton of electricity, and California refines most of the oil it consumes because of its geography and unique fuel blend. EVs may actually reduce California's overall electricity usage.

The only way I can play music in my car is radio or USB storage. There is an aux port that is broken, and bluetooth only works for call audio. I play my music from a USB drive.

Hi bastien,

Could you expand on the answer? Thanks!

At least two correctness risks remain with Go's approach:

goroutines observe this cancellation asynchronously. You can cancel an operation from your point of view, and begin another one (a retry of the first, or another operation altogether), but the original one is still running, creating side effects that get you into unintended states. If one can be running, potentially any number can be. You have to make sure to actually join on all past operations completing before beginning any new ones, and not all libraries give you a way to synchronously join on asynchronous operations. If you write your own, it's very possible, it just takes a lot of care.

When you select { } multiple non-default arms like this, and more than one of them is "ready", which one gets selected is random. This avoids starvation and is the right way to implement select { }, but most code that checks for cancellation incorrectly pretends this is not the case and that it will observe cancellation at the earliest possible time. It actually has an exponential probability series of observing cancellation later and later, compounding with the above issue. If the work done between select is long (e.g. CPU or IO work) this compounds even further. The correct solution is to select for cancellation again on just one non-default arm, but that is not "idiomatic" so nobody does it.

All of this is manageable with due care. Some libraries make it impossible because they kindly encapsulate not just what you don't need to know but what you actually do need to know if you want correct deterministic behavior. In my experience, very few deveopers, even of popular libraries, actually understand the semantics Go promises and how to build correct mechanisms out of them.

It goes both ways. How many alcoholics had this doctor treated that lied about their drinking? We can expect our doctor's to be perfect but addicts lie, and it's normal to expect addicts to lie. I think a little empathy would have gone a long way here, don't get me wrong, but saying they have no humanity is a bit much.

> In addition to the volatility halts, trades in Class A shares of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. appeared to go off at mistaken prices. About a dozen trades showed shares changed hands at $185.10 around 9:50 a.m., a discount of 99.97% to Friday’s closing price of $627,400. NuScale Power Corp. had a similar glitch, with trades that printed at about 99% below the prior price.

Driving Tesla Cybertruck: Everything You Need to Know
What do you mean by mediated by the engine? In snowboarding the board really is an engine. You can define how much friction you give to the slope or your angle to it and therefore throttle. You also engage the board in a carve and get energy out of the carve in transition and this can be controlled by the length of the carve or how you shift your weight or engage your legs. Not to mention the route you decide to take on the mountain and the effect of that topology and snow conditions. This is true for skis as well.

Anvil (https://anvil.works) | Senior Developer, Developer Advocate | Cambridge, UK | ONSITE, VISA | Full-time/part-time/flexible

We make an open-source web framework, an online code editor, a GUI builder, and a PaaS hosting platform. Together, you can build and host a full-stack web application - and all you need is a little Python. (Yes, even the client-side code - we compile Python to JS and provide a GUI framework!)

---

1. Senior Developer:

We’re looking for an experienced all-rounder to work on the core Anvil platform, with a focus on the back-end. Our stack is mostly Clojure, Javascript, Python, Postgres, and container tools – but we're looking for someone who isn't afraid to jump into something you haven't used before.

You’ll be working with other seriously good all-rounders, including the founders (relevant PhDs, kernel contributors, builders of backyard dancing fountains) and senior colleagues (eg: a former maths teacher who reverse-engineered our drag'n'drop editor just to build more UI components), as well as our other developers and developer advocates. We're bootstrapped and profitable, with a small, smart, friendly and diverse team.

Building dev tools is great! We're solving problems we've experienced ourselves, our customers are developers just like us, and platforms have the most fun engineering problems.

---

2. Developer Advocate:

We’re looking for a developer with great communication skills to show people how to build awesome things with Anvil, and to make Anvil better to use.

You’ll be writing how-to guides, blog posts and tutorials, building example apps, presenting Anvil at conferences, and helping our users – from individual developers to huge companies – build their web applications. You’ll then use what you’ve learned to help us make Anvil better to use. That might mean deciding what examples to build, or it might mean deciding that we need to redesign the first-run experience for the Anvil Editor – and then doing it.

It's rewarding work – developers love being introduced to Anvil (we get mobbed at conferences!). Plus, there are all the advantages of an early-stage startup: seriously smart colleagues, small team, lots of autonomy, and huge impact. (Did I mention we're diverse, friendly and supportive?)

> Instead people feel better buying a (say) $800 IKEA sofa every 5 years, which over 25 years is the $4000 nominal he has spent on his own sofa.

My IKEA sofa is 10 years old, has been through 4 moves, and looks and feels exactly the same as the day I bought it modulo a smattering of aftermarket pet hair. I see no reason why it wouldn't last another 10 years. The price right now today is $750. I'm sure I didn't pay more than $500 at the time. And it folds out to a large guest bed. And it has a storage compartment. And getting it up or down a flight of stairs is a breeze. It's just a substantially better bargain. And if I ever need to replace the foam in the cushions, I can buy blocks of foam to put inside the covers for very cheap.

Nooks (https://nooks.ai) | Software Engineers (full-stack & backend/applied ML) | Full-time | Onsite in SF (hybrid)

Hi, I’m one of the founders of Nooks — we’re trying to re-invent how sales teams work with real-time collaboration and AI.

Nooks is: - A virtual office: you can work from anywhere in the world, but still work with your team and get feedback and coaching like you’re sitting side-by-side. - and an AI co-pilot. We learn how your team works, identify “winning” strategies and behaviors, then share them with the whole team during and after calls!

We’re working on fun engineering challenges including complex distributed systems, low-latency algorithms & infrastructure, and modeling sales calls with large language models. You'll also have the chance to make a huge impact on our customers (sales reps who spend 80% of their work day on Nooks.)

Right now we’re a small eng team (~12 ppl) growing super quickly - doubling revenue every quarter, and recently hit $4M ARR!

Looking for experienced engineers who love tackling difficult product questions and working closely with customers. Excitement about language models, few-shot learning and other recent AI advances is also a plus :)

I’d love to chat: reach me at nikhil [at] nooks.in or apply at the link below: https://nooks.breezy.hr/p/bbc06c1a1bb4-software-engineer

Hey! I'm currently doing contract work but I'm looking for a very competitive full remote job outside my country. I have 25+ years of experience using Linux and working as all these titles that are kind the same: BOFH, Support Engineer, Sysadmin, DevOps, Infrastructure specialist, SRE, Platform Engineer, etc. My main focus is configuration management and creating self-services for the company, along the default CI/CD workflows and monitoring of everyday. Check this page to see what I'm providing/working nowadays: https://www.eitch-consulting.com/services/
I think this thread highlights nicely that context is everything.

In this case, I think vasco's take is correct: the sysadmin was indeed trustworthy enough to exercise this discretion in response to overzealous employee productivity rules without at all undermining his primary responsibilities.

The proxy was definitely in a place to essentially trivialize it's impact. I'm pretty sure thats why it was placed where it was, as opposed to make it harder to find. If that was the chief concern, disabling logging would have obviously been the first thing to happen.
Yes I never said that politicians aren't beholden.

I only said that politicians have to rely on experts they choose to call in or listen to, it is then up to the people to decide if said politician does a good job effectively.
Yes, the first and only "real" commit has been this one https://github.com/timeseries/qstudio/commit/c7c39ff69b90762..., where they committed the sources. After that mostly useless changes in the readme, even the "bugfixes" do the same (nothing).
Would it really be smart to build an AM4 desktop at this point though?
Yes. Anyone over zero gets no AI help.

> This doesn't really reflect the way a lot of people listen to Spotify.

I know. My music listening habits have changed since I dropped Spotify. I am not less happy for it. In fact, I value the music that I listen to much more now, since the music I listen to is pretty exclusively a set of music that I thought was good enough to pay money for specifically.

> Not to mention the underavailability of music on a service like Bandcamp. What % of the top Spotify tracks can actually be bought there?

When you add 7digital and Amazon music, I think the % is over 100. I have never not been able to find a DRM free distribution of an album or song that I wanted.

I mean… I don’t know that many people but, even so, I know a couple who are in most ways smarter than me and who’d be very-capably contributing a ton more to the economy if math classes hadn’t blocked them from it. They’d have been way above median at a ton of important jobs, but weren’t allowed to do that because they were bad at, specifically, some math they didn’t need for those jobs. No degree, so, life path permanently altered in a way bad for both them and all the rest of us.

If I know a couple, there are probably many such folks.

I’ve not seen the same thing happen with any other subject.
I've heard the argument before that China being very large without serious, nearby rivals created less drive for innovation than Europe with its smaller countries and frequent struggles. There was also more ability to move to a different country if people in your country didn't like what you had to say. Many European thinkers took advantage of this.
