Americans get taught a weird fictionalized version of their own history where political violence ended at the Civil War, conveniently overlooking anything that might be awkward to explain in the present day. Little things like General MacArthur opening fire on veterans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonus_Army ; MOVE bombings; Tulsa massacre https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jun/12/tuls... ; the general high levels of violence in the civil rights era; lynching, and so on.

The dev ex kinda sucks since you're basically creating a janky CI system with artifacts, with the same inability to locally dev and test, but with way less documentation and ecosystem support (other users). For some simple script for internal use it's probably fine, but it's hard to build up from. The Actions ecosystem is so poorly documented and filled with a bunch of abandoned actions as libraries that don't work anymore. It's not fun to work in.

I have a similar but minimal use case where some data is scraped and then committed into a repo via actions. I tried to modularize it so that's all that repo does. Another repo then fetches from that repo to actually console the data.

If I needed to build something like this for actual production use, I'd probably use a serverless worker (Vercel or Cloudflare) and store it in a cloud KV instead.
The pope might have had a word with any king or priest that tried to push the wrong things into peoples head though. It wasn't like a do whatever concept. You'd had to have broad support in the ruling class.
For your point 2, I had to stop them from throwing that out of the window all the way back circa 2.3.

The key problem with desktop Linux is the entire distro concept. Just have the kernel, some services (the android ones like binder, surfaceflinger etc) and go from there. Iirc that isn’t far from what firefox os was, only they insisted on everything being browser based.

The Java API on android is thinner than it looks, and contains most of the serious problems, such as the entire UI stack. Now that Swift has grown static Linux support that would probably make most sense as the first class target for API consumption.
Given that this graph was completely unsourced and the tweet sounded like it was trying to be inflammatory, I went out and tried to find the actual source of this.

Apparently it was a survey carried out by "morning consult" [https://morningconsult.com/2015/05/24/men-and-women-divided-...], however the links seem to be quite broken. However, it was also discussed in this Vox article [https://www.vox.com/2015/5/27/8665401/nuclear-power-gender], which actually talks about why that might be the case.

TL;DR, according to the article there is a divide in how white men and other groups assess risk
You misrepresent me here. I never claimed that Forth is uninteresting, just that your code was. The statement I take issue with is that Forth is powerful. In reality, it is useful only because it is not powerful and hence is easier to implement.

> yet you can have braces with e.g. 2-3 lines of code

You can't really. You'd be better off treating braces as whitespace than having them check the stack depth before and after each function call. They wouldn't even be correct then because you could make multiple calls within the same set of them. If you want to implement braces properly, you'd need a way to introspect how many arguments a function takes, but Forth is not powerful enough to do this.
> The DAX is only 40 companies, most of which make real products rather than advertising mechanisms

This, as the kids say, is just cope. American big tech makes real products. Google is not just ads. Apple is not. Amazon is not. Tesla is not. NVidia is not. Netflix is not.

NVidia might be overvalued because of the current AI hype but that does not diminish their real accomplishments!

Europe has almost no real tech companies. There is one exception, founded in 1984. Not exactly a spring chicken. How can a wealthy continent with 750 million people produce no big tech companies? It's a big problem.

There are several attractive options, any of them eliminates this kind of bug

1. Giving the integer and floating point division operations different operators. If we designate // as specifically the integer division operation then this bug never arises.

2. Don't have untyped constants. If the old constant had been a floating point type, the erroneous change jumps out because we're obliged to write that we now want an integer type. Unfortunately the pre-processor is just text mangling, so this constant had no type as far as C is concerned. Odin is uncommon in modern languages for having untyped constants, Ginger Bill can probably explain why he thought that's a good idea but I can't defend it.

3. Forbid coercion/ promotion of numeric types (perhaps as part of forbidding silent type conversions in general) so now the original expression won't compile anyway.

Whenever you're worried about what the idiot masses might be fooled by, you should identify similar things that you have already been fooled by yourself to make it clear you're also one of them. If you can't think of any, maybe you're just arrogantly assuming you're one of the intellectually superior people who has a moral need to control what the idiots think.
> Arm's argument is that the Nuvia license was canceled when it was taken over by Qualcomm.

This is like a windows (or anything else) license for a private person, that you cannot resell or give to anyone else. I'm curious whether these shenanigans will stand up between corporations as well.

Bad way of doing business, in any case.
I’ve started using Perl a couple of months ago and I’m quite impressed, specially with all the “bad” stuff I’ve heard about it.

It is incredibly flexible and productive and is very intentional in getting out of the way (what is it, Multiple Ways To Do Something?)
It frustrates me to no end that we have three separate, incomplete LSP implementations for Elixir, none of them collaborate and none of them are first party tools from the language maintainers - they're all minor community figures. They are one of the jankiest part of my experiences working with the language and it's very disappointing to live with when I also use rust-analyzer all the time and have seen the polished & productive version of LSP support.
Red Flags:

When one or more people on the interview panel behaves extremely unprofessionally. ie, ridicules the interviewee, or makes inappropriately offensive comments.

When the interviewer decides to give an interviewee they particularly like a tour of the premise and introduce them to other staff before they've even offered the person a job.

When there are heaps of relatives, or best/close friends within the management structure of the company.
I think for the most part you can't negotiate for this sort of thing, because most companies are not going to work up a one-off, custom equity comp agreement. Not just for you, someone they've just finished interviewing, seem to have some enthusiasm about, but ultimately they have only a vague idea of how you're going to perform or how long you're going to stick around. Either the company offers it, or they don't.

I think more companies offering it is maybe driven by feedback loops around recruiting (prospective employees asking for more and varied opportunities for compensation, and rejecting offers that don't include them). And also perhaps by employees just simply becoming educated about and talking about this stuff, with the sometimes-tacit understanding that they're going to be looking elsewhere for other employment opportunities if their employers don't give them more than just salary bumps and occasional equity grant refreshes.

Social constructs are socially constructed. Given social systems are heterogenous, this variation is far from profound. (It’s almost corollary.)

My first experience with POV-Ray happened around 1994 or 1995 on the Amiga when I found a copy of it on what I recall was a CD that came with an issue of Amiga Format. The raytracer was dreadfully slow on my 50 MHz 68030 compared to Real3D and Cinema 4D, but all the same fascinating. I played with it on and off through the years, eventually on a regular PC with Windows where I had enough performance to program/script looped animations.

If you're optimizing for career opportunities at all, Rust has more hiring potential than Elixir by a country mile. Both are lightly infested by web3 grift, though.
Sam has gotten OpenAI well capitalized, and is playing a bit of a ponzi game. The big moves he has made are almost certainly not sustainable, and he's betting the farm that OpenAI can snowball into a monopoly position, bring costs way down and take over the world before investors start giving him the cold shoulder. OpenAI is far ahead of pretty much everyone but Meta in the race, but in the long run I think Mark and Yann can shut them down if they keep releasing free models.

Yes, it's small, but new houses are mostly very small because they try to be 'affordable'.

Most people with lots of money buy an older house which is bigger, sometimes knocking down and rebuilding the same house if you want to modernize (in many areas you have to rebuild something the same size, shape and appearance).
You mean like Github Codespaces & Jetbrains Space? Or like Docker containers? You can also go even further and stream entire VMs to developers graphically, like a remote desktop.

It also depends a lot on your stack. In the web dev world, these days Next takes care of most of that and all you really have to worry about are node versions and different CPU architectures (devs on Apple Silicon, servers on x86).

> Modern LLMs are fine-tuned for safety and instruction-following, meaning they are trained to refuse harmful requests.

It's sad that it's now an increasingly accepted idea that information one seeks can be "harmful".
Mind share isn't necessarily an issue when you build a platform based on standard tools (e.g JavaScript, graphql, etc.).

In my experience those limitations are not just nuisances,they are expensive. They require a lot of custom work and and less reliable since you're leaving what's well known and supported. For example, many companies hit the "100 active concurrently scheduled jobs" limit very quickly. Then they need their own scheduler, or deal with the consequences of stale data.

Those limitations are not just nuisances, they change real business workflows.

Yes, there are definitely good business justifications for choosing Salesforce, but I definitely think there is real business value to be found in improved CRM systems.
Toward Autonomous Driving by Musculoskeletal Humanoids [video]
Sussman‘s and Abelson‘s SICP forever changed the way I think about code, abstraction, modularity, in a time where my peers were hacking in Pascal or C. Where I used Lisps/Scheme to create a mental model of the problem, they had to do the abstraction in their head and then implement it in a language that demanded low level focus.

So I am forever thankful for having been exposed to SICP early on.
Everything is driven by money. Not relationships or random beliefs.
The true answer is "we don't know".
It’s very common for corporations to include successor clauses in contract, to give strategic partners an opportunity to relicense sweetheart deals that they might have given plucky startups *like Nuvia). My suspicion is that it’s going to be very straightforward for ARM to document what successor clauses are in place. I suspect we are going to find out that there is one, and Qualcomm don’t care. Qualcomm is more lawyer company with engineers these days - they even made apple back down on licensing.
The only underlying question here is "who is liable for the output of the LLM?"

I just don't think the "nobody is" current solution is going to last in the current litigious environment.
Nope, I returned it. I wrote about it across multiple blog posts [0] but the TL;DR is that it was too limiting. It was strapping an iPad to your face and an iPad is an incredibly limiting device IMHO, one that is only good for content consumption (at least for the hobbies/interests I have). I was excited for Mac Virtual Display but it was too blurry (I tried with contacts in and with the lenses from Apple).

Even in MVD I felt incredibly limited and just wanted to go back to using my actual displays. Within a week I had to force myself to put it on, I wasn’t drawn to it. Honestly I think I enjoyed writing blog posts about it more than I enjoyed actually using the device.

If/when MVD and passthrough get better I’ll probably buy it (new model) again but for now it’s just not good enough, especially for the price. If it was $1K or less I might have kept it.

Qualcomm / Nuvia.
As someone inside the tech industry, I absolutely agree.

The problem is that new startups often don't have options here. Unless you're in a market where VCs are shy about funding new companies, if you don't take the VC cash and go into high-growth mode, someone else will, and they'll end up out-competing you, at least in the short term. (Long enough that you won't be able to remain solvent, at least.) So you either fail, or take the money and often get into a situation of doing not-particularly-sustainable things.

Web 3, as an idea, is actually pretty good. Its biggest problem is that it's surrounded and promoted by a bunch of cryptobros who see yet another easy grift.

But at face value, if you could add a small seamless transaction cost to the web (idk, it takes 1c to read a blog post and 50c to post a blog comment), you'd basically eliminate almost every form of spam and re-align the incentives in the attention economy away from those of online advertisement. Ultimately it could just save the web from the mess it's become.

The banking and cards system isn't set up for that sort of workflow. Transaction costs are too high and you'd basically tie all your online activity to your real identity. So you need something new.

A distributed ledger would be almost required for future-proofing. There's an enormous juicy opportunity for rent-seeking if you assign a private entity the task of being the arbiter of every transaction of the new web; that needs to be designed out.
They're surely wrong, at least in some on way, but so's everyone else's opinion. These are areas which are far to complex for anybody to understand. All we really have is opinions.

At least Musk's opinions aren't just a carbon copy of whatever's popular at the time. That alone makes them at least potentially worth something. The celebrities who can only repeat what they're supposed to say to make themselves look good are the ones who should shut up. Their stated opinions are simply whatever they think will serve their popularity.

It can get much worse. Companies can have multiple “seed” rounds. It may not be doing well enough for a real “A” round. The naming of the rounds doesn’t matter. Valuation at each round does. If your valuation goes lower from one round to the next (“down round”) you’ll give up more equity, diluting everyone else faster.

I fully agree with you were it not for LiveView, which combined with the marketing obsession around LV, means people who could have glossed over OTP for a while longer are now confronted with it much earlier in their journey, possibly on their first controller route.

Writing robust LiveView flows, and testing them well, is exactly as intellectually complex as writing stateful genservers with multiple non-linear flows and various call/cast entry points. LVs use different jargon and have small convenience layers like async-assigns, but mechanically genservers are literally what they are. I'd say that's crucial to understand well if you want to use them effectively.

Poetry style solutions still increasing I think but there is more than poetry competing for it. Uv too will soon join the group competing in this area.

Poetry is challenged by not being as Python PEP compatible (it predated some of the "standards") as well as performance (resolve, lock and install)
I think it's less about institutions and authority - it's more about you attacking them. People eating up firehose of bullshit from YouTube influencers, or regurgitating nonsense about "chemicals" and processed foods, etc. don't stand on the side of any institutions. But if you try to disabuse them of their false beliefs, most people around you will side with them - not because they're loyal to the same institutions, but because you're the aggressor, the party that is not nice, that rocks the boat. It's that behavior, regardless of target or merits, I believe people have aversion to.

Or put in another way: the first person in a group to get agitated about something has to spend a lot of effort justifying their agitation to the group, because by default, the group won't support or even stay neutral - they'll get weirded out, and/or even shun the agitated person.
