Even though I'm from the US I lived and worked in Canada for about five years in the late 90s/early 2000s. It was interesting how common Canadian Tire money was (which was still physical bills then). Everybody had it because Canadian Tire (which is really more of Walmart-style store rather than just a tire store) was a popular place to shop, but it was accepted in many other places like farmer's markets and independent restaurants.

I haven't shared this widely yet but a few friends have tried it out and we're dogfooding it internally as we develop it. You should be able to sign up and try it out self-serve right now (for free until we set up a business bank account!) but it is very much an alpha product, bugs included.

Send me an email (peter @ dev.log.xyz OR peter @ peterdowns.com) if you'd like a demo or you're willing to tell me more about the problems you're hoping Devlog can solve for you!
I tried Asahi on my older M1 macbook and the battery life is still very bad. I am pretty experienced trying to dive into CPU schedulers and kernel settings, etc. to try and fix it, but I was unable to squeeze more than about 3 hours of battery out of the laptop WHILE CLOSED! In contrast just booting up mac os the battery lasts about 36 hours+ while closed.

to be fair to WAYX, unlike Utah they weren't being hypocritical, in that I don't recall any part of the bible that claims it's more popular* than the Beatles.

(for creatures that the creator had an inordinate fondness for, even beetles get short shrift; all I've found is Lev.11:22 "ye may eat ... the beetle after his kind ...")

* how should we measure popularity? By Google hits, Jesus wins, hands down, but by platinum record multiples (Amy Grant being in the single digits), John had a point.

You’re spitballing. Starliner was pushed by NASA, not electeds. Boeing is currently in the shitter with the public and thus the Congress.

I recognize "A Court of Thorns and Roses" because my wife likes to complain about it. To hear her tell it, they're middling fantasy novels that are popular because they include graphic sex, but otherwise have a stereotypical plot and flat main heroine who is nevertheless irresistible to all the male characters. Sounds similar to how "Fifty Shades of Grey" captured the attention of an audience who wasn't previously familiar with that sort of content.
I've been doing "agile" since before "Agile" was a thing, and I am a Scrum.org certified PSM. I don't need to go read anything to know that you're misrepresenting the situation here.

But to indulge you, here's what scrum.org says, in part:

If you are just getting started, think of Scrum as a way to get work done as a team in small pieces at a time, with continuous experimentation and feedback loops along the way to learn and improve as you go.

Continuous experimentation, adapting with feedback, and learning and improving as you go? That doesn't sound like "process over people" to me.

Note also that the Agile Manifesto never says anything about not having some process. I think almost everybody would agree that a certain amount of process for the sake of consistency is a Good Thing. The problem is when people over-elevate the process to where it's seen as its own end unto itself, rather than a tool to help the team deliver the $THING they are trying to deliver.

One other very cool thing here is that this new treatment represents a whole new family of drugs (very sophisticated at that, per Derek Lowe's assessment). I thought back in the late 2010s with integrase inhibitors (e.g. dolutegravir), there was a real chance they could achieve the 90-95% reduction targets in new cases, and hopefully this new drug makes that even more feasible.

There's always the risk of losing previously effective drugs due to resistance, so the value of redundancy cannot be overstated
We know that the universe doesn't permit perfect information. You have to pick if you want to know the speed of a particle or its location once you approach the tiniest scales (and various other trade-offs based on the fundamental uncertainty). Thus you can't predict perfectly how a system will behave.

Neuronal processes in the brain seem to be build in a way to amplify such tiniest scale difference to generate divergent outcomes from very similar sensory and memory inputs.

Do you think everybody at the EPA is fired and a new batch of people are brought in every time control of the White House changes? The main advantage of these federal agencies is that they were somewhat stable regardless of who is in charge. Career bureaucrats who just do their job decade after decade. Sure the head of the agency gets appointed by the President and they do set a general policy, but it's not like the rulebooks are getting rewritten every 4 or 8 years.

The reality is social sciences are inherently more complex because they are higher-level problem spaces. Biology in merely a stepping stone to psychology, like assembly to modern Java. Assembly is simple, understanding how the JVM works is hard.

Psychology intertwines just about every field you can imagine. Anthropology, neurology, biology, chemistry, you name it. They're fundamentally working on a level much, much higher than the hard sciences. So the sheer amount of variables is absurd, but also how they work together.
I probably could write something, but HIV is an epidemiologist's game at this point, and I honestly think the epidemiologists want to say HIV can't transmit in ways that the Hepatitis B virus, a DNA virus, has clearly been demonstrated to transmit. If you press a virologist in private I'm not sure they'll stick to "can't", especially after the COVID-19 virus mutation rate fiasco, and, though not a virus, the prion situation.

I think "can't" deserves at least something physically (as in physics) unlikely, not something that's been demonstrated in a DNA virus previously (and like I said, HIV in provirus form is not unlike a DNA virus).

> Which is exactly why they now need to switch licenses and put newer features behind more restrictive terms so users are forced to pay

Sentry switched to BUSL in 2019, almost 5 years ago.[1]

Most of the aforementioned fundraising occurred after the license change (e.g. the $90MM round you mention from 2022, and another $60MM round in 2021).

The "restrictive terms" - which again, were introduced in 2019 - are that you can use the software but not use the code to compete against the software's authors. For 99.99% of users, this has been a non-issue, because most people have no interest in doing so.

Basing decisions on future software (mis)features that don't currently exist isn't a good way to approach the problem, regardless of where the software is coming from.

I don't think your second point is correct. Congress could most certainly empower EPA to administer a cap-and-trade scheme or even some kind of phase-out, as it did with (respectively) acid-rain precursors and CFCs. Congress could do the same for GHG emissions, without spelling out the impact on each and every affected industry or source. Congress might, for example, set an economy-wide emissions cap, set a schedule of annual caps or a formula, specify how EPA should go about determining the cap each year, or some combination of those things. If Congress specifies that all sources economy-wide (or some subset of them) will be subject to a cap, then it has answered the major question.

On your third point, see the paragraph on page 38 of my brief linked above. "Generation-shifting," as used in the CPP, was EPA's claim that it could set "achievable" emissions standards based on turning off a source. One can argue about whether new-source standards satisfy the statutory test (BACT) applicable to major industrial facilities and whether the agency's decision to set those standards at a particular level is supported by the evidence or otherwise arbitrary and capricious. But that's an entirely different inquiry from whether Congress empowered EPA to switch off more or less every source of emissions in the country as it so chooses.

I seem to recall the original issue with supporting Blu-ray is that Sony required a root-kit to verify playback authorization and was monitoring everything for pirated content. There were some expensive playback software licensing issues too. It is one reason even consoles were hesitant to adopt it.
> self-evidently abrasive, which stands to reason when you look at the scratch marks in glass that has been through too many cycles.

Marks on glass are not due to abrasion, they appear because glass is slightly soluble in alkaline water, which is the case in dishwashers. Porcelain and stainless steel do not get scratched by dishwashers for example.

This is an actual "view"? I thought that was a stereotype, possibly entertained by people who never had any extensive interactions with cats.
I was unaware there exists a fully homomorphic encryption scheme that has the right trade offs between security and computational effort to make this economically viable for even moderate to small workloads.

> Maybe at Google you can get away with

The recent example was a large, international company. I mentioned this in the post.

> Your job is to do _the thing_

Like I said in the post, I do what I get paid to do, and the idea is to figure out how to avoid a place where "the thing" is inappropriate. I have an easier time at startups: I'd rather spend 12 hours a day doing something that matches my talent and interests than spend 8 hours a day saying "Yeah, the button is...I don't know why it is where it is. It looked fine to me before, I don't wanna spend two days on this."
This is how they've always won.

In 1978 after the oil crisis Carter was already talking about getting off of foreign oil, we should develop renewable energy resources, be energy independent. Imagine where we'd be had we done even a few of the things he suggested?

Instead, the big oil companies, their lobbyists and OPEC made sure there would be abundance of cheap oil and then everybody just moved on and forgot about the long lines waiting for gas, rationing and other horrible stuff the oil crisis brought.

Not much has changed over the past 45 years which is pretty depressing.

This reads like complete SEO slop to me. What is the important difference between managed and hosted re: Neon?
Sorry to hear of your troubles. We live in Holly Springs, NC not far from Cary. When our builder was showing us land/lots that were available at the time they only had lots that had driveways that would pitch towards the homes (in other words the road was higher than the house, not by much maybe 2-3 feet or so.) Of course developers and realtors always assure you it won’t be a problem - I was not reassured and so we passed on these lots. A few months later a lot became available that was well above street level. We’ve been here 10 years and never had an issue through heavy rains and even a couple of hurricanes. But we’ve met the neighbors who bought those properties with the driveway pitching towards their homes and they complain about having water coming into their garages whenever we get heavy downpours. If you’re going to live somewhere long enough that may experience heavy rainfall, it’s best to be well above the low end of the neighborhood/street.
This use-case actually makes a ton of sense. How many other low-hanging fruit applications for agents are out there like that?

Although now that I think about it, a lot of doctors practices have a MyChart-style portal where you can schedule an appointment yourself. Why does an LLM need to be involved in that process? I guess for people who still want to schedule over the phone, the LLM agent makes sense. Kind of, assuming you don't have any special case problems. Which patients most likely do, if they're calling in. Is an LLM actually a good solution here?

Seems very very silly to fight this unless you're sure you have damning, concrete evidence that companies are colluding to not advertise on Twitter. Like, many emails between advertisers saying "we're all deciding not to spend money on Twitter" - and even then, I'd think it's entirely in their collective rights to do that.

Or, you have a lot of money to spend and want to try and set some sort of precedent to hopefully end the hypocritical attitudes of these companies. Who knows - there might already be precedent and the droves of internet hacks giving their uninformed opinions (including me!) will be proven wrong?

It's humorous to see companies deciding to throw millions of dollars around to drape themselves in rainbow colors in the west, while simultaneously zipping their lips in other countries who don't share the same sentiment.

It's the attitude of "if it'll make us money, then we'll do it, but if it maybe possibly might result in fewer customers, it's not worth it".

Bring back smaller companies and shatter mega corporations into thousands of individual pieces.
As of 2020 (when I stopped using F# and .Net in general), the CLR only had inheritance and F#'s enums were actually implemented using inheritance. Eg Some and None were derived classes of Option class. You would see it if you inspected an F# assembly in a decompiler. I don't know if it's still the same today. This C# proposal has anonymous enums using `A or B` syntax which would be hard to make work as sugar over inheritance, so I guess the CLR would support enums first-class for this to work (if it doesn't already).
