Doesn't anything involving requests to other services inherently have to be idempotent because there's still a chance of a communication error resulting in an unknown outcome of the action? You don't know if the "widget order" was successfully placed or not, and therefore there's no way to know if that action can safely be tried again.
There's an option to send images in higher resolution these days.

I personally dislike getting full-resolution images in iMessage by default and wish there was an option to manually request the full-res one (the sender could just upload two versions, or maybe a progressively compressed one). It seems like the worst of both world (in that it still wipes metadata from the photos, last time I checked, making them annoying to save in my photo library).
The difference between your experience and mine is that I have no idea what the verses are saying! They almost never pop into my head because I can't relate them to situations.

Honestly a few app being installed barely does any damage to me. What's your concern?
There's now an `HD` button to send images at high resolution, and higher quality.

> Many young people seem to use the gender-neutral "they" rather than "he" or "she", even when the gender is known and is unambiguous. This may turn out to be a fad, or it may be a similar generational shift in the language.

I don't know if it's generational, but on the internet it's less clear what someone's gender is, and assumptions have a decent chance of being wrong. The result is that I typically try my best to default to "they" for anyone who hasn't asked me to use different pronouns.

I'm sorry this isn't true. Your name wasn't on the line when you took the investment, and the OP pointed out with his "5 startups in 10 years" line, it's very easy for early employees to walk away. That isn't as available to founders.
There is much more burden (reputational, financial, emotional) on the founders.

I've been a founder, and I've been a key early employee. It is very different.
Any plans for a Python SDK? We’re actively looking for a platform like this but our stack is TS / Python!
One example, Semantic Versioning and odd/even versioning, where 3.1 is considered unstable, versus 3.2 is considered stable, versus 3.3 unstable, etc. This was standardized only in 2010, so we can't blame Python developers for not foreseeing that in 2000.
Right. You develop a small number of simple, useful, common tasks and you pretty much just stick to those.
"cause if you fail you have to let people go"

This isn't the founder's risk. It's the employee's risk. And it has the added bonus of, if there is a liquidity event, the employee's don't get the upside.

I was like engineer #3 at a company that eventually was acquired for ~$250MM. My payout was $60,000, after 5 years of employment there. I could have made more by going and contracting at megacorp for a single year. There was never any upside for me.
Easier to discriminate against anybody who buys an Android, I guess. That's totally the better solution.
Regular exercise help with being overweight, what you eat help too, but not that much compared to how much you eat.

One of the advantage of regular exercise not talked about enough is how it makes your metabolism faster, thus increasing your baseline calory expanse, but still from an ex-obese: the quantity matters.

Which is helped with eating slowly, and taking time between dishes (and we do this, a lot).

Yeah I'm impressed with how well it does a straight shot paragraph but I can't use it comprehensively. It's the little things that make it unworkable, like moving the cursor and selection to do rapid nonlinear edits, getting it to use your personal capitalization style, and I'd imagine it's a nightmare trying to write code with voice dictation, with how nonlinear and dependent on symbols and spacing it is.
Absolutely, individual atomic side effects need to be idempotent. We can't solve the fundamental distributed system problem there (eg an HTTP 500 - did it actually get executed)
However, the string of operations doesn't need to be idempotent - lets say your handler does 3 tasks A B C, and the machine dies at C. Only C will be re-executed. A and B need to be atomically idempotent, but once we move on, we don't start again

Critical point - its much easier to think about and test for the re-execution of C in a vacuum, than to test for A B C all re-executing in sequence, with a variable number of those having already executed before
Ah, right, I forgot that nobody in the US uses Instagram or Facebook (which are both not end-to-end encrypted, like SMS and RCS, and unlike WhatsApp).

Thanks. Will definitely have a look for our web app.
Unless you've configured `pip` in a special way, I don't think this is true? All invocations of `pip` across different environments should share the global HTTP cache, which you can confirm with `pip cache dir`.

(What `pip` can't cache is the actual extraction of distributions between venvs, because distribution installation sometimes includes arbitrary code. So you might be hitting that, but you should never need to re-download the same wheels or sdists while the cache is hot.)
Hmm! Here are some things I like in iTerm2 :

- Drop down terminal like Yakuake

- Visual bell, can show me when something has finished running

- Great incremental search, with regex supported

- Instant Replay, to allow time travel through anything erased from the terminal (like TUI screen repaints)

- Global search through all open terminals

- Triggers can highlight particular text when outputted on any terminal when a regex is matched

If using the Toolbelt feature :

- Keep track of your paste history

- Allows the use of text snippets to save typing long commands
on remote hosts where you can't define an alias

- Show running background jobs and send them signals

If using shell integration:

- Directory name picker based on frecency, which is useful for adding directory names when composing long commands or to jump to a directory when using Zsh (which lets you omit the 'cd' command).

- Hotkeys to jump back to the points of the commands entered, to avoid scrolling back through pages of console output to find the beginning of a command

What is the state of RCS in European countries?

I live in Sweden. Do carriers like Telia etc support it? Do they have their own servers or do they let Google handle it?
Thanks, I agree about the accessibility setting. I know the iPhone at least doesn't actually use sRGB so the numbers are bound to be a bit off, but I'm surprised it's that far off.

Also, I'd note for modern iOS even just in dark mode the writer is in "black/white", while it's your own messages that are "blue" or "green" depending on whether its RCS so readability is less of an issue.

I disagree. I think if the hallucinated part pass the final Lean verification, it would actually be trivial for a mathematician to verify the intent is reflected in the theorem.

And also, in this case, doesn't the mathematician first come up with a theorem and then engage AI to find a proof? I believe that's what Terence did recently by following his Mastodon threads a while ago. Therefore that intent verification can be skipped too. Lean can act as the final arbiter of whether the AI produces something correct or not.

For now this might be a project for Fields medalists, like Tao and Scholze, who have the leisure to spend 10x the time on a proof. I recently talked to a post-doc in a top-ranked math department, and he doesn't know anyone who actually uses lean4 in their work. For early-career people, it's probably better to trust your intuition and get the papers out.

I grew up not far from this site but have been living in Oregon for 30 years. One of the things that still strikes me when I go back to visit is just how much old stuff was around me in my childhood. Over there it's like "oh, let's put a nail salon in this 400 year old building". Here it's like: "oh, there's a 100 year old barn, we must turn it into a heritage site."
I think it also speaks to one's mindset when they talk about people that way.

If I invite someone for a meal I want to know what their preferences but especially what their food allergies and intolerances are so I can make something they'll be able to eat and enjoy. I don't eat meat (I must be a "blue" household then according to parent) so I just eat whatever is there that doesn't have meat in it but if people know I'm a vegetarian and make a meat alternative that's great but not necessary. I'm not making a fuss about it but then again I'm not very confrontational, just isn't worth it. Parent is probably different and seems to know people who aren't like that.

Absolutely, sorry if im not tight enough with my language. Maybe should be described as 'operation idempotency' vs 'handler idempotency'. IMO, an entire handler re-executing is much harder to reason about and test for than a particular operation re-executing individually, with nothing else changing between executions
For context, probably not your average cyclist- I've covered at least 10k commuting & touring miles on a bicycle.

I don't bike anymore, because walking is better for my posture, I have limited time for exercise, and I am able to walk to work, so I do that now.

If a cyclist is going slowly (under 10mph?) and conscientious that pedestrians rule, I have no problem with them on the sidewalk. Bikes can stop quickly.
I have much less tolerance for the speed demons (as I once was) in their fancy kit who think they rule the streets (as I once thought, until I retrained myself to reconsider cars as "people driving cars" and pedestrians as people moving in the most primal way, and thus worthy of the most deference, including necessary mobility devices, not including "luxury" mobility devices which generally include bicycles).
If I had my way, cities and roadways would be redesigned to make it really easy for bicycles to use. "If you build it they will come" approach.
I've biked on highways in the western USA and in Japan, and felt safest in Japan, maybe because I was glaringly different, vehicles tend to be smaller, and automobiles don't have the primacy I observe they do in the states.

I often prefer biking in the road because I want to get from A to B and not take some meandering path as many bike paths are. I didn't bike for fun, I biked for transportation, to save money on gas and car repairs, and for my health. The fun was incidental.
Something made in a factory is less likely to be good for you than something made by a tree and stone tools.

The industrial age has brought many good things and many bad things. To acknowledge the bad things is not to discredit the good things. It's quite simple.

Higher life expectancy is a good thing. Infertility, cancer, and obesity are bad things.

More of each was brought by the industrial age. I'm not saying the industrial age as a whole was bad.

Again, all of this is just overintellecualizing it.

We are actively looking for feedback on what SDK to develop next. Quite a few people have voiced interest in Python so far. This will make it more likely that we might tackle this soonish. We'll keep you posted.
15 years ago it was maybe $50-$150. As recently as 4 years ago it was more like $200+ and hope for a sale. Top of the line around a decade ago was a madcatz te or razer panthera for $200. The DIY aspect and ease of changing internal parts got harder with most sticks released in the past 5 years.

Brook boards alleviated some of that but that was still an extra $50-$100 depending on the vendor and available supplies and some hardware hacking that a lot of people were unprepared to do. Those who were willing to hack were hit hard because most fight sticks were taken off the market from back then and people got a bug up their butt about value during lockdown these old fight sticks started showing up for as much as $400 on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace. A 9 year old panthera was being sold for as much as a brand new Victrix. The market was rough. It still is for secondhand fight sticks.

This is why gp2040 was reinvigorating. With cheap pcbs and ready made firmware came cheap controllers. $50 gets you a 3d printed leverless. $150 gets you an aluminum leverless. There are mini boards that are just keypads with thumb sticks running the same firmware as full sized fight sticks with dual analog levers. You’re starting to see the same explosion in ideas and customization we saw in the keyboard space like 8 years ago.
Right -- one of Python (packaging's) small ironies is that people sometimes forget how old the Python ecosystem is, in part because the ecosystem and language have managed to keep up with the times :-)

(If we use similarly-aged interpreted languages as a benchmark, I would say that Python packaging has modernized admirably in some aspects: compare CPAN, for example.)

I would be inclined to participate if the process involved a test, followed by a manager's review, and then a go/no-go decision. However, the actual process is much more convoluted: the test is estimated at three hours, but from my experience with something similar, it definitely takes more like six to eight hours. After putting in that effort, you go through HR, which then gives a go/no-go decision before the manager even considers your candidacy. Only then can you present the code you wrote for the test, after which they finally make a decision. This sequence just doesn't make sense to me. I can complete the test, which mirrors real tasks at the job, share it with them, and then possibly get rejected because HR didn't like something about how I expressed myself. So, what’s the point of the test before the HR review? It sends bad vibes even before starting at the company, so I'm inclined to just not engage with it. They would rather have me spend three to eight hours on a test instead of having HR do a 30-minute pre-screening. This approach says a lot about the company's culture.

Apple's claim (per public statements) is:

- They upload your data to their servers. This is a requirement of iCloud and several non-iCloud systems like Maps.

- Where analytics is concerned, data is anonymized. They give examples of how they do this like by adding noise to the start and end of map routes.

- Where training is concerned, data is limited to purchased data (photos) and opted-in parties (health research).

My point is that Apple's code executing on device can be verified to execute on device. That concept does not require trust. Where servers are involved and Apple does admit their use in some cases, you trust them (as much as you trust Google) their statements are both perfectly true and ageless. Apple transitions seamlessly between two true concepts with wildly different implications.

It's not like Canadians who come to work in the US give up their citizenship.

80/20 rule.

What most startups / new products fail to realize is that you can get 80% of your needed CRM capabilities just from a shared Google Sheet.

But that last 20% is brutally difficult and long.

It might be:

- sales rep compensation

- customer billing

- contracts management

- eSign

- usage reporting

And much much more.

Salesforce has most of this. And for what they don’t have, they created their platform so 3rd party’s can add it.

You’re not competing in having a “CRM alternative”.

You’re competing on having that long tail of 20% other functionality that’s core and critical.
