You should look up the laws around television. This concept is not without precedent.

Were not limiting any ones right to speak, were restricting who can own a platform, and excluding a foreign government. Nothing about that in the constitution.
Noticed similar scale of improvement when testing the two on cloud functions.

So many dead links... so many links going to AOL or CNN or domain-squatters.
Heck a lot of links on the first page are empty.

On the flip side, like so many others here, I had a friend who went overboard with his. Automatic reloading systems, piezo trigger so you did not need lighters and such, scopes, automatic cutting devices for the spuds. He tore it apart after a spud went through both sides of a car (it was a junk car he was intending to shoot) and ended up "who knows where" on the other side.
The thing with FPGAs is if they do something fast, and that thing becomes actually important, they are inevitably replaced with an ASIC. So they are mostly used in the small-medium business space where you need to do serious parallel processing (video or whatever), but don't have the market or budget for a full-on ASIC.

The price thing, as I understand it, is mostly a problem for small volumes. If you're using decent quantities Xilinx will happily cut you a deal for chips at a decent price :/

Also, I guess small FPGAs can feel a bit toy-like when up to a certain point you can just do things in SW.
> Any codebase that I had complete control over.

No excuses. Code ownership is important. Sometimes it works for a team, sometimes only for individuals.

But not having to submit to core teams, architects and self-proclaimed experts of all kinds is a blessing.

I now work for an organization that discourages code ownership, and it struggles on many fronts:

1. core teams are dysfunctional
2. people find niches and stick to them
3. top talent is leaving, although pay is good and business creates real value for citizens
4. there is virtually no horizontal communication
5. mediocre ones rise to the level of their incompetence and infest the lives of others
6. and so on and so forth...

And I think the root cause of all this is lack of individual (code) ownership.
People don't grasp that you can get wealthier simply by avoiding harmful things that would otherwise be done by default.
Different layouts have different size return keys, for instance.
I am fascinated by the total electrical power drawn to build models - power and cooling I guess. Do you have any numbers on that (the point being Zuckerberg in a podcast suggested the next 1GW model was being planned - basically a data centre with a mid sized power plant attached)
The base graphics packages make the plots as ugly as the ones generated by gnuplot though. ggplot2 on the other hand has very pretty output. And the concept of grammar of plots just makes so much sense to me.
As have Rocket Lab, Firefly, Astra (RIP probably), Stoke, Relativity, Spin Launch if that counts, and probably others.
I'll co-sign everything you said, other than to say that if you care about the webcam or the sound, this isn't the laptop for you. I'd still recommend it highly despite those failings, though, as the configuration and the longevity is more than worth it.

Plus, who knows, they might come out with a webcam or sound upgrade kit one day.
Yes he does rub technie people the wrong way, but I think it's more widely a growing didain of Nudge theory and these guys in other places like UX conferences after a lot of wasted time from these ideas - they just don't pan out in practice in the long term.

I don't have a solely tech background and once believed quite staunchly and with excitement in Rorys ideas. As commented elsewhere, they did not work out for me, it turned out the mimetic nature of humans is useful - to avoid loss, and lost experience (which accumulates greater costs over time).

Things like nudges, these ideas, these one trick examples - they are all individual, one shot.

The problem is, if you trick someone into paying twice as much for their shampoo, they have less money to spend on other things. How is it satisfying to do this? It's dark patterns with a new face.

I think this applies in the positive case too. Great, something like estimating a 10 day waiting time and hitting it in 7 days makes people report on paper they are happier. When most places do this, the effect will disappear. In fact, if I have one place in my life (e.g. the dentist) where they overestimate, and one where they underestimate (doctors), I will get more annoyed at the doctors than I would have been if they both were bad at estimating. It's shifting my discontent but I'm still discontented by the fact it takes 7 days, not the difference with the estimate. This is obvious and evidence in this example from the data in England with the NHS vs the health services and their satisfaction rates in Denmark and Germany etc. It's true individual cases can have individual effects, but it's a bit like how if you provide personal tutoring for one subject, the student often falls behind in the other subjects - you are taking on a debt that is paid somewhere if you don't actually improve the actual thing or product.

In a role like advertising, this is fine. If you want to improve the world, I don't think it is. Likewise if you want to improve your application in terms of retention, lying to the customers about wait time will work for one order, but not multiple. It won't actually improve retention in an AB test after a year to lie unnecessarily.
I own a MBP M1 13' and a Framework 16 with GPU.
Build quality, battery life, sound and display are better on the macbook.
But! The Framework has a very good build quality compared to every other laptop maker. All other aspects are good to decent. I'd say thats about 80% of the price. The other 20% are for:
- Not having a solid piece of metal and plastic that only a specialist can repair.
- A company that values you as a customer and seriously wants to help you with your problems.
- Investment in a future where there are real alternatives to all the other non-repairable crap thats out there.
Well I don't think it wouldn't change the outcome - I just don't agree that it would necessarily mean Apple would be less successful. In fact, I might argue it would probably have been more successful had he not been an asshole - because I don't see how his vision about technology was dependant on him being an asshole.
Also nice is when an entire community has agreed to architect a codebase more or less the same. You're basically psychic when that happens.
I agree, the best code base is always a zero-line code base.
They have good friends. /s

This isn't about morality.

Would any of those countries let us run a service with the same scale or influence in their borders? (Is there any non state media in those countries).

You're comparing the banality of "corporate evil" to actual evil.

I have no words.
aww, Norway left out again :-(
They should ban unintended consequences, that'll work out fine.
Agreed, takes honestly a very short time to get used to it but the benefits are large, as a programmer at least. I don't think I would ever go back to the other layout again.
Hopefully the most recent one you were responsible for.
In VR, there was a wave of that kind of thing (3D productivity apps, file browsers etc.) None really took off though as far as I can tell.
Any code base that doesn't use the advanced features of it's language(s) are always better in my experience. Heavy usage of e.g. meta-programming in Python or perhaps uber's fx (dependency injection) in Go makes projects infinitely harder to get into.
Thanks, that is useful. I might create an awesome list of ai generated code.
Apple, the trillion dollar company, doesn't need you to defend their shit business practices for them.
On my keyboard (not a Frame.work), the only letters that are still readable are Q, Y, U, J, Z anyway. The rest are worn down, some with nail striations in the plastic... I'm not sure how cool it looks, but clearly I manage without the labels.
numbers.map(x => {
console.log(x);
return x * x;
})

Still easier to understand than the for loop.

What if you are of a different faith?

What if you are not god fearing?

What if you do not want your children being taught about a 2000 years old fantasy book that was only written 400 years after the crucifiction.

Imagine writing about todays events in 400 years time passed down just by word of mouth and a few pages of text.

Notice too that the word crucifiction has Fiction in it.

Fiction is any creative work, chiefly any narrative work, portraying individuals, events, or places that are imaginary or in ways that are imaginary. Fictional portrayals are thus inconsistent with history, fact, or plausibility.
The Icelandic Keyboard Layout
I'm curious if you would be willing to elaborate on what your plans are for longer term feature parity with vscode? As in I can imagine as vscode receives continued development and new features you will have the development burden of having to integrate these updates into your fork. Are you planning to keep up-to-date with vscode or will the products essentially drift a part over time? If the latter would this mean extension developers have to build separate extensions for your IDE?
True, I forgot to mention it because I almost never use them. Laptop cams and mics are never up to my standard, even on mac, and since I remote work 90% of the time, I always travel with a full mic stand and external cam.

This is too important for good communication for me.

But indeed, it's not on the higher end for sound and image quality.

It's not the worse either. Just meh.

"trace of nuts"
"may contain accidental presence of nuts"
"made in a workshop that processes nuts"

Certain products specifically for allergy sufferers have strange messages such as "non-quantifiable presence of an allergen". A PCR test can detect traces of a product's DNA, but it is impossible to quantify its volume because it is so small, or to trace the source of contamination.

They can't say there aren't any, there's no defined threshold or it's not possible to clearly quantify the quantity.
Yeah. Norwegian living in the UK, and I use a US layout as well. I do have a keybinding to swap to Norwegian keymap that I use occasionally, but it doesn't see much use.

The latest Go micro-service I have built.

About once a year roughly, for the last couple years, the opportunity has arisen to greenfield a Go micro-service with pretty loose deadlines.

Each time I have come into it with more knowledge about what went well and what I wasn't particularly happy with the last time. Each one has been better than the last.

I've been building software professionally for twenty years, and these micro-services have been one of the few projects in that time that have had clear unified vision and time to build with constant adjustments in the name of code quality.
I wonder, is it a productive approach to the superintendent concerns? Anecdotal evidence with sample size = 1 (me) points that the more your force your ideologies to me, the more resistance you get from me. I'm still struggling to keep myself agnostic without falling into aggressive atheism exactly because a lot of religious people feel the need to convert me into Christianity. And it works through all my life, with not just religion but with national pride, patriotism, classic literature and really any thing that I do not care of but someone decided to change that forcefully. It is counterproductive with me, but I watch how people are still trying to do it. Does it work?
Are they going to drop RStudio? I very much prefer its Qt interface over whatever VSCode invented. It’s fast, has nice keyboard shortcuts, none of that pointless padding and it just feels great to use.
Clear accurate pricing is how people decide what to do with their resources.
Pricing things correctly is basically the reason we have a modern economy.

Externalities are one of the thornier issues and making those prices clear to people is how we get people to decide whether they actually want to pay the full price of a good or service.

Every code base I have ever worked on was a legacy nightmare. Every "greenfield" project I joined turned into a legacy nightmare within weeks. I have never encountered enjoyable code. I had the displeasure of wading through Spring, Hibernate and Apache HTTP client code before and they were all an incomprehensible mess.

My conclusion: You know the claim "any medication that really has an effect must also have side effects". I would like to adapt that for code: Any code that does a lot of useful and complex things must be an arcane, barely maintainable mess that can only be understood by deep study.
You build an LLM that makes mistakes. Then you build another LLM to find the mistakes the first LLM makes, and, surprise:

One more thing to do precisely and not only at dedicated time but continuously on top of all other things to do precisely already inherently around completing a task. Everyone all the time think about the state of changelog communication in addition, and do it well, phrase it for changelog purposes, format it for that as well. While working on changelog on the end will need additional work still.

In some simple situation it may have merit though, I admit. Seems like additional trouble (both workload and source of mistakes) in a medium to large team.

Except if the developers are well programmed robots themselves, of course, those do not fail (or easy to throw out and replace if they do).
Okay. Let's pretend the Soviets killed nobody in Ukraine other than the Holodomor. That's 5 million people. The credible threat of millions more being butchered by the Soviets was real. At this point, we are disputing small fractions of the total deaths. I don't care if it was only 5 million, though it was millions more.
Worked on a codebase for a large safety-critical system where everything was 100% documented, and the development guide for the project was followed so closely that you couldn't tell, across millions of lines of code, that the whole thing wasn't written by one person. Absolutely impressive levels of attention to detail everywhere, down to not even being able to find typographical errors in comments or documentation (a typo in a comment was treated just as seriously as any other bug).

There was a bunch of "demo" applications bundled in Irix, some more some less useful, that were used to showcase the capabilities of the systems. File System Navigator was, afaik, one of them (similarly there was bundled "dogfight", a networked flight simulator game).
For me, the most eye-opening codebase of my career was Cocotron, around 2007:

https://github.com/cjwl/cocotron

I was looking for a way to port my native Mac Cocoa apps to Windows. I had been already disappointed by the aimless sprawl of GNUstep.

This one-person project implemented all the essential APIs for both Foundation and AppKit. Reading the code was a revelation: can it really be this simple and at the same time this effortlessly modular for cross-platform support?

I contributed a few missing classes, and successfully used Cocotron for some complex custom GUI apps that needed the dual-platform support.

Cocotron showed me that one person with a vision can build something that will rival or even outgun large teams at the big tech companies. But focus is essential. Architecture astronauts usually never get down from their high orbits to ship something.
> Russian hackers who broke into Microsoft's (MSFT.O), opens new tab systems and spied on staff inboxes earlier this year also stole emails from its customers

> An allegedly Chinese hacking group that separately breached Microsoft last year stole thousands of U.S. government emails.

The US press has somehow acquired a whataboutism requirement. Whenever there's a story about a Russian hacking or political influence operation, the article must mention something similar China did or, if none, an allegation that it may have done. If China is somehow ineligible, then Iran or another non-white-majority country, or the US itself as a last resort.

It's curious because the Russians benefit three-fold:

- Deflecting some of the blame via the whataboutism itself,

- Fanning the racial hatred they've been stirring up in the US since the early 20th century, and

- Widening the rift between the West and China/Iran/other allies and prospective allies of the Russians, driving them further into their camp.

As anti-AI as I am, I think democracy might be the best we get until the day we are able to create benevolent machine kings organising our lives. Monarchies/authoritarian governments can in theory be fairer and much more efficient at tackling big problems than any democracy, but fail spectacularly, and with a lot of bloodshed, when paired with human stupidity and greed.

Until then, we're in kind of a political limbo of mediocrity.

The image I have of anarchism is not the mainstream one of "million of people doing whatever they want"; organisation and hierarchy are not in conflict with anarchism, as long as you are free to leave and form your own. So, under that point of view, anarchism-as-political-force is little more than a multitude of small heterogeneous communities collaborating and trading with each other. Maybe the secret is to embrace our tribal nature, but avoiding the issue of cult of personality—this is an interesting dilemma to which I don't have a good answer for, so thank you for the food for thought.
How does this have a moat? Claude/OpenAI will do this out of the box quite soon (depending on what this is, it probably does most already). Definitely impressed by the raises (126m$ and now $400m+) for this... In Europe.

Google3 codebase. It's just so vast and it works. It's a miracle. I feel lucky to have seen it. Everytime you change it, it reruns the dependencies. Everyone has different view concurrently. Commits are efficient immutable snapshots. It's just incredible multiplayer. So massively beyond what can be done with GitHub. Really I feel it's peak codebase. I've not seen what the other big techs do but it blew my mind

Compiling their drivers for the RTL8723BS card was the first time I got my hands dirty with the inner-workings of Linux, eventually getting a terrible little Intel Baytrail convertible to run Linux almost perfectly.
