Neat. When I migrated a project from mongo to postgres I took a similar approach, except I only implemented the mongo feel I needed within my own project instead of building a proper library as done here. I was surprised how much performance improved despite using a hacky wrapper.

https://blog.stuartspence.ca/2023-05-goodbye-mongo.html

Personally tho, I plan to just drop all similarity to mongo in future projects.
That's extremely unwieldy for me. I do a ring finger on Ctrl and index finger on Z instead.
Open hash tables are typically the way to go in C. They drop the added complexity of managing a forward singly list by turning getters and setters typically into what is an array operation

i like nicegui, but its more a web ui framework thing than a fully fledged desktop ui.
I have since years, an usb disk connected to my Fritzbox and it works amazingly well. I have a real NAS, but i ended up never using it. Fritzbox with the USB disk is enough to use as scanner dropbox, saving pictures, documents, ROMs.. Sometimes the simplicity beats the whole complication of having extra devices
I put together a "High Performance Organizations Reading List" which includes a reference to "Reinventing Organizations: A Guide to Creating Organizations Inspired by the Next Stage of Human Consciousness" by Frédéric Laloux. You and "LeFantome" who wrote about Creo might find that book and other resources there of interest. Laloux's book provides examples of various companies with better management.
https://github.com/pdfernhout/High-Performance-Organizations...

Better and healthier organizations are possible, as Laloux writes about. They are rare though -- and difficult to sustain in our current Western society. As with Creo, you definitely need enlightened management or enlightened major shareholders to "hold the space" as Laloux writes.

The problem is that gen ai has no notion of fact and will just as happily confidently and incorrectly assert falsehoods. Teaching an entire generation of students with gen ai and no verification of facts will be a disaster.

For example the suits of playing cards [0]: here in Germany we have our own suits, but those decks are really only used for some very specific games. For all other games, we use the same cards as the English speaking world and we call those French. For diamonds and spades even the French names remain, in heavily adapted spelling: Karo from carreau and Pik from pique.

When I've run into this, I've gone and bought what I need with my own money. Then I make sure my boss knows, so that it becomes a story that gets repeated up the management chain.

I dont get it. The first hit there says it is a rare disorder due to cancer; so this is already not the more common case. Second it is still due to the presence although not local of the tumor. If you destroy the tumor you may have a chance of resolving the condition.

I am aware of necrosis. You need to either completely break down the cell or remove the material. Radiation of course does not do this but surgery of course does.

My appeal to you would be to allow more disruption in this space. Software and Hardware are (mostly) unregulated which allowed for the explosion of progress.

[Ignore this, everything is ok now]

For me the website is slow as to border on unusable. I have one core at 100% on Firefox 115 / Debian 11, I guess there is a busy loop somewhere in the JS.

Works fine on Chrome(ium).

I know it is usually frowned upon to comment on the website itself rather than the content, but considering the nature of the website, I think it is relevant.

Edit: Looked in a bit more detail and it looks CSS-related, not JS-related as removing the main style sheet fixes the problem. It happens even in safe mode (no extensions). Possibly a Firefox bug (version is 115.12.0esr, from the Debian 11 repository), but it doesn't happen anywhere else.

Edit2: Updated my system, rebooted, etc... it fixed the problem. So either I had something messed up with my system, or the author fixed it, anyway, everything is ok now.
OK, I am agreeing with you that in practice you probably didn't follow these priorities. Your original complaint was "But mentioning that, tends to draw real scorn, from today's tech folks. Not exactly sure what it is, they want from managers."

You were looking for clarification about how the way you expressed your views were met with a negative reaction. I am agreeing with you.

So it is a problem how you frame priorities in the past when you did work. Not that when you worked you did something wrong. Today's workforce has a different vocab and a person needs to learn why the conversation changed if you want to communicate effectively and not get negative reactions.
Aside from that, prices can only dip for so long because investments were made assuming a specific price. Too much production means that prices go down and the investment becomes unprofitable which is only sustainable for so long - producers will either go out of business or cut back on production to lower their burn rate (at which point prices will go back up). Basic supply/demand curves tend to ignore the impact of pricing on investment. Larger suppliers might keep prices lower to try to acquire more market share but even they don’t have unbounded ability to run a loss forever and more importantly they’ll have a limited amount of capacity anyway which will cause prices to go back up anyway as the rest of the market cuts production.
Interesting study, but unfortunately already outdated. I don't think anybody uses ChatGPT 3.5 for coding anymore.

From my personal experience, Claude 3.5 or GPT-4o work best. They're more coding assistants, not really capable of writing anything more than very simple programs on their own. They make a lot of mistakes, and you need to know how to debug code they produce.

Claude is my favorite but it just randomly added a division by 100,000 to a line of code for no discernible reason. According to Claude it was "an oversight on [Claude's] part".
Not a Russian, don’t particularly like Russia, my criticism focuses on the West because that’s my home and I want to clean house. That ad-hominin attack on my intention does not make sense. This tautological notion that because I disagree with your framing I must be Russian and therefore wrong.

Russia is worried they will be Balkanized by the west and that is clearly against the interest of the Russian leadership. To not understand that Russian are willing to pay an enormous cost to do so is to not understand Russian history, beyond Afghanistan where they really didn’t want to be there in the first place.

As a policy I would rather see Russian tanks turned around and go into China. The West courted China in order to undermine Russia but underestimated China and overestimated Russia. Russia was successfully turned against Germany in WWII and if the west was smarter we would swallow our pride and do that again for WWIII. Having your enemies engaged in destructive conflicts is a big part of realpolitik and an essential part of remaining a dominant hegemon.

I’m repeatedly bemused by those who emphatically declare that Russia will fail because it is corrupt as if they have discovered something that the Russians themselves are not aware of. Russia has taken a learn-by-doing approach which is the only way of improving war-fighting capability in such an endemically corrupt country. This externalizes the negative signal for bad ideas, those failed excursions having died are no longer able to make future decisions. The average intelligence of those who remain has gone up. To paraphrase Napoleon; we mustn’t teach our enemies to fight by fighting them too often.

The media is telling the truth when it’s in their interest to do so. I’m not sure how you are trying to generalize this to them always being right when clearly they contradict themselves on so many matters. In the weeks before the invasion I was telling right wingers that they are about to look like fools when Russia really does invade. US intel provided proof by noting the movement of blood supplies to Western Russia which would only be done in preparation for a war as opposed to the exercises that was claimed.

In the 90s, there was no "engagement" and "content" just meant the content of the thing you were talking about, but I digress...

> None of the megacorps give a damn about that as is evident by their behavior.

The rumour (and extrapolation) the discussion is based on is that Youtube prefers their bloated player to an unknown alternative because it makes the videos play faster, which drives "engagement". That is, in this case, the "megacorp" literally does care about that.

> it doesn't make sense for you to optimize that on their behalf

This is certainly true, but I don't think that's what the parent comment was suggesting.
Cats are highly skilled individuals and you can trust them to catch the mice, but you can't trust them to coordinate with each other. Left to their own devices, they'll just focus on their own technical expertise. The specialized job of a leader is to get the cats to work together.

I am a fluent English speaker who spoke not a word of Dutch for my first few years in the Netherlands. Got contract work, friends, and in the end language and citizenship.

One example is anecdote, not data, but I know an awful lot of EU and non-EU people both in the big cities and more regional places who landed without any local language and made successful lives and integrated effectively here.

There are harder places to do this but it’s getting easier by the year, especially in the countries that need people who speak other languages for global trade.
I believe this is where our cognitive abilities essentially run up against the incompleteness theorem. Everything we can possibly conceive of is happening inside consciousness. There’s no way for us to define the system from inside the system.

Like trying to define the boundaries of the universe (with the caveat that of course there’s nothing outside the universe and there’s presumably stuff outside of consciousness, just we never experience it directly)
Then they’re using gen ai wrong. You can dump your research into the context window and ask it to outline the material. What you get out is a well organized story with a beginning middle and end, incorporating all relevant concepts from the research. You can then fill in with the details based on your research. Gen ai can be used to help students think and write more clearly.

They’re going to use it. Give them the training and guidance to use it correctly.
I suggest using MutationObserver instead of just running the replaceEmbeds function every 3s.
Probably. My experience, hereabouts, is that there's a number of folks that automatically despise me, simply because I'm old, and will usually interpret whatever I write, in the nastiest possible way, so it doesn't really matter what I say. Someone will imply pretty abhorrent motives to it.

I'm a pretty decent person, and the folks that know me, know that quite well. I'm not trying to get a job, and I already know that I won't impress people, here, so I guess it doesn't matter.
When I navigate to the test page[1] by the author of lite-embed, the standard variant transfers 82k. According to browser stats, the largest element "base.js" has been cached for several days. I imagine that the authors of YouTube who are undoubtedly as sensitive to the costs of transferring bytes as anyone have analyzed the problem with browser caches taken into account.

Tools for Innovation in Tech
Numbers 1 and 2 are connected. If the company goes under, then the team loses their jobs. If the company constantly screws over the employees, they'll end up with lower talent candidates and higher turnover. There has to be a balance. This isn't unique to tech, but probably more obvious there due to the job market strength for so long.

Mars' environment is extremely hostile to life, with no breathable air, temperatures more extreme than what's found in Antarctica, and no water or food resources that can be foraged. As if all this were not enough, radiation levels on its surface are also 20 times higher than what's found on Earth.

Adding to the difficulties imposed by the harshness of the environment and the paucity of its resources, a habitat there will be more remote than any human habitat that has existed in centuries, perhaps in history, in terms of difficulty of resupplying it.

Simply surviving without the vast support network of civilization at hand is a constant struggle on Earth, and all of this will be exponentially more challenging on Mars.

The only manager I ever had who used the phrase 'servant leadership' was a really good, helpful manager. But, it was never clear to me how the servant leadership principles he espoused were different than just taking a practical approach to unblocking your 'resources' and making them happy, so they can meet the goals you've set for them. It looked the same from my perspective, and the results were the same. There was never any confusion in my mind about where the power lay, so the whole servant leadership model always seemed lightly and inoffensively patronizing.

This manager was also very religious, and I always wondered whether he came to the servant leadership model through the church, or through management philosophy. But in any case, when I hear about people in leadership positions advocating servant leadership, I think "ahh, in your mind you're the Jesus in this scenario, and we're your disciples. Got it."

The military does teach servant leadership (or at least the Marines does). The Marine Corps leadership principles:

Know your people: Observe how Marines react to different situations and look out for their welfare

Keep your personnel informed: Provide reasons for tasks and ensure Marines are aware of all relevant information

Set the example: Demonstrate professional competence, courage, and integrity

Ensure tasks are understood, supervised, and accomplished: Give clear, concise orders that are difficult to misunderstand

Explain why tasks must be done: Provide a plan for accomplishing tasks whenever possible

Be alert to rumors: Replace rumors with the truth to stop them from spreading

Build morale: Publicize information about unit successes to build morale and esprit de corps

Make sound and timely decisions: Be able to quickly assess a situation and make a sound decision based on that assessment

Consider advice from subordinates: When possible, consider the advice and suggestions of subordinates before making decisions

Announce decisions in time: Announce decisions early enough to allow subordinates to make necessary plans

I think in general you can be competitive and tactical while centering yourself around small group welfare. It's basically an acknowledgement that you and everyone else are only as good as the group and the leader is most well positioned to affect that welfare on a daily basis.
Indeed. ChatGPT has been extremely valuable for “what’s the right way to glue these two iOS frameworks released a decade apart together” for me.
It would not have helped me in this situation. My assumption was "bananas heavy" was a phrase I was unfamiliar with, so I was trying to look that up. "Bananas heavy" is not in the dictionary,

I fully understood that bananas can mean crazy, but what I do not understand is the sentence and the context. I never would have used the word with that meaning like this.

Who would say something like this? I still don't understand why a person would say "bananas heavy" to mean "YouTube embeds are bloated". It just sounds so awkward and bizarre.
I was just talking to a friend of mine, yesterday, who used to work for a mob outfit.

He said that mobsters are surprisingly good managers.

I guess if you manage folks that, by definition, don't like rules, and can kill you, if you piss them off too much, you need to have a balanced and clever approach.

Show HN: I made an open source Mailchimp RSS-to-Email alternative
Hi all! Excited to share rss2newsletter after completing dev work for the initial release.

The idea for this project came out of necessity, as I wanted to share my articles via email newsletter. I was looking for a super minimal, lightweight, and open source solution, and when none existed, I decided to create one.

For any sizable number of email recipients, a popular platform like Mailchimp will easily cost you hundreds or even thousands per month in per-contact fees. rss2newsletter, on the other hand, allows you to use Amazon SES, so you can reach your audience at pennies on the dollar.

Beyond these factors, I also wanted something that could run on an internet-connected potato it's so easy on your system and fully automated so you can set it and forget it.

So, I created (and put under a free software license):

https://github.com/ElliotKillick/rss2newsletter

rss2newsletter (integrating with Listmonk and Amazon SES for ultra-low-cost emails) is a drop-in solution that requires almost no setup besides connecting with SES and styling your emails. It's also competitive at what it does with proprietary self-hosted solutions like Sendy, which requires your system/VPS to have some rather beefy specs to run well.

Let me know if there are any other features you would like to see. I hope you can find my project helpful to you!

It's somewhere in the middle, probably. People talk about wealthy foreigners, tourists and so on "bringing money to an area" as if that money is being uniformly dumped from a helicopter onto everyone. That's never what happens. It goes into the pockets of a relatively small handful of people/businesses, those people will spend a fraction of it, and downstream people will spend another fraction, and so on. It trickles a little, but the entire community is not benefiting uniformly.
It’s not necessarily obvious that “normal” humans would have recognized them as a different species. Might have just seen them as a different tribe/race with different facial/etc. features
Not hundred pounds of gold, a hundred pounds of quartz, with gold streaks.

Basically water trapped under heat and pressure dissolves gold atoms out of the surrounding minerals (along with lots of silica) which then precipitates out as the water turns to quartz over time. Very common in the western US because of the farallan plate sliding under the American plate, pulling in seawater as it does, eventually resulting in hydrothermal vents. Usually the actual amount of gold present isn’t enough to bother with extraction, better to leave it as a cool rock.

A great and thrilling find for anyone who likes to pick up rocks to be sure, but nothing life altering.
