Some message queue brokers that traditionally implement their own backends can also use Postgresql (and other RDBMSs) for persistence. This is a reasonable option if you a.) want to consolidate persistence backends b.) want a mature, battle proven broker and client stack.

It’s... not?

Even for the low bar of a geek joke it makes no sense since GPT-4 is an LLM.
It is very common to naively think laws should be rewritten to be clearer but experience quickly shows why that doesn’t work. Basically laws can only work when they are interpreted by reasonable jurists because the real world is full of grey areas and human language is not clear enough to fully divide the space of “everything that can happen in the world” into clear legal and illegal categories.

In programming terms, an appeal’s court deciding an exact number of days police can confiscate property is like hard coding in a global constant that then can never be changed, deep in an obscure file. The legislature should decide that, which is more like making a big visible constant at the top of the file that people see and can have input into.
Animals, creativity, beaches and reading!

I’d love a creative job. One where people give me open-ended problems or goals and I create, whether that be through logic or art, to arrive at a solution.

I spend almost all my spare time creating (via programming browser extensions) and pondering ideas.

It’s so true what you say about time. I recently dropped to a 32 hour week and it has been the single best choice I’ve made in my life. Now I just need to squeeze out creativity in those 32 hours

I don’t think startup aficionados and hustle culture members realize that the world runs on C-players.

You’re right, startup people have a drive to build great things and they burn the midnight oil and they get divorced during the development of the original iPhone, etc.

But the people who keep the lights on at most companies especially big ones like Google are a sea of average, steady, stable employees who do their tasks and not much else, go home at 5 or maybe earlier and have no interest in burning themselves out so that the CEO can have a second private jet.

And you don’t want to run your company on all A-players and 10x developers because once the thing is built they’ll get bored and move on to the next thing, or they’ll hit a mental breakdown and rage quit because they’re the bulb burning brightest.

Those C-players will just keep clocking in, they won’t be poached by more attractive places to work, they won’t be difficult to cover for when they go on leave, and they won’t write code that goes over the head of other C-players.

Technically, a developer at a public company should work harder to boost the stock price because they’re getting shares as compensation. But at the same time, making 5% more in stock value isn’t worth working 50% harder.

I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with the culture at Google. People who wish Google would be exciting again like Schmidt are just grasping at nostalgia. Boring business may be boring but boring business is excellent business.

As other commenters have said, C didn't actually generate fast programs for 8-bit processors, or even 16-bit processors for a long time. C is a poor fit for most of them, so assembly language was the only way to go.

A contemporary source is the opinionated "DTACK-Grounded" newsletter from 1981-1985. http://www.easy68k.com/paulrsm/dg/ Hal Hardenbergh raved about the fast 68000 chip and it's wonderfully easy assembly, but lamented that everyone switched to "portable" Pascal and C to write 16-bit programs so they seemed even slower than 8-bit ones. His favorite example was a direct comparison: Lotus 1-2-3, written in 8088 assembly, vs Context MBA with the same features but written in Pascal for portability. 1-2-3 was MUCH faster than Context on the PC, and no one remembers Context today. Or the $16,000 Unix-based AT&T workstation whose floating-point benchmarks are beaten by a $69 VIC-20. (Obviously due to the C-written runtime, which even followed the C standard of promoting all single precision calculations to double so single was no faster!)

His opinion of C was "slightly-disguised PDP/11 assembly". Not too bad for the 68000, but a terrible fit for the 8088 or Z80.

And conversely https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/ to keep your sanity on macOS.

The things that annoys me most atm: when I have multiple VS Code windows, and my web browser, if I Cmd+Tab from my web browser to VS Code _all_ the VS Code windows pop to the foreground, even ones I'm not focusing. In other words, I can't write code and also be able to see the result at the same time. Just because I choose to have stuff I'm not working on that's completely irrelevant to the thing at hand being behind other things I am working on. Unless I spend time manually putting windows in non-preferred locations or closing things or doing things that are in no way related to the things I have visible and am working on right now at the moment.

And if I minimise then I have to minimise again if I Alt+` through the application windows. It's just all so very very tedious on macOS. Wouldn't want to use it if it wasn't for work.
I’m confused. If you rely on a feature introduced in X.y.z why would you specify X.y.0 to begin with (and not just X.y.z)?

In practice, usual rust projects that have not put a ton of work into their dependencies encode X.y.z in Cargo.toml matching the current release at the time they developed the system. So you get at worst an unnecessarily higher version requirement but never a lower one.

Moreover, rust semver would normally imply that new features should only be introduced in X.y releases, so this doesn’t really happen in practice!
What costs is getting an attorney to write it in such a way as to see it awarded.

While in theory you can write your own (and file for the small fee), in practice your self-authored application won't be awarded a patent and your invention will become free public knowledge.

Nearly all parents are awarded to big companies with massive teams of lawyers. The "little guy" patent is mostly a myth.

The main point was that there is a line between being cooperative and being tricked or forced into consent for a search. The best tactic is to appear cooperative but not a pushover. If they are forcing or tricking a search, then you need to show that you are complying but "under protest". And definitely, this is based on how it is now, not where we should be.
> What is this epistemological laziness?

It would be hilarious if this was the answer to the question of why we have poverty. It would not surprise me at all.

Oh, and for your question: it is our culture. Paying no mind to epistemology most of the time (if not considering the very concept hilarious) is what Westerners do.
I’ve always felt this way about work. It’s so much of our time working on making other people rich, making things that don’t matter. I recently dropped to a 32 hour week to combat this feeling.

I really enjoy the creativity of development in my spare time. I just wish I had that creativity the whole time.

I’m a person who needs to be constantly thinking of ideas and trying things, that's when I’m at my happiest
$10M from garbage mobile "games", and no liabilities? Is it some lucky exception, or that's a norm in the industry?

Maybe I should shove up my ideals and principles where the sun doesn't shine, and ramp up a LLM game generator factory trained on a wiki of dark patterns... I will have pangs of conscience, but if it works I'll also have my own place to live and some basic financial security that may suffice if^W when my health degrades. And surely a good therapist would be able to fix the conscience later.

(Or does the lion's share of that money goes to the lawyers, haha?)

Yes, I ran the RoboRosewater account, which is where most people saw the concept I believe. I had a few documents with thousands of cards of output, went through them for any notable ones, and formatted and posted them. Probably 5-10% of the output made my personal cut for notability.
Ha, Ha! Chandrasekhar being a "Master" himself has a definition of a "Common Reader" which is notches above what the public assumes it to be. It is up to us "the students" to rise to the occasion i.e. there is no royal road to anything worthwhile. His book is also written from a different viewpoint where he gives his proof using modern mathematics notation (hence you are already supposed to know Calculus) to Newton's propositions before showing you how Newton himself worked it out in the Principia. My suggestion is to not let this dissuade you from studying it but to consider it as a lifelong journey towards understanding at your own pace. All of the above texts are non-trivial and hence one should not expect an easy endeavour.
Funny that pretty much describes the company I work for. People would work their asses off. Pull all-nighters, work through holidays, etc. Then the rounds of layoffs started happening and now nobody cares at all about the company. Everyone just does the minimum while planning their next thing.

I agree, I think. The language issues, and NPM technical issues, are small contributing factors. I'd argue the culture was more a result of the physics of deploying code over the internet to varied and unreliable browsers than it was to do with anything NPM did.
You are right. They are "law clerks" only, I thought there were many more judges.

Doesn't change the fact that these are not decisons being hammered down on a whim by dictators that "didn't read" them
The definition of a table does matter a lot, even in law. For example, businesses may deduct purchases of tables from their taxes. It wouldn't be right if a company couldn't deduct a plastic table from their taxes because it wasn't a legal table or if a company could deduct a music box because it was legally a table.

When you start talking about seizing assets then the definition is all that more important.
This. I worked hard at Google for years because I was pationate about my projects and my colleagues. Then over the past few years especially starting around dragonfly and maven we started getting more of an us vs them culture pushed down from the top. Layoffs were the end for me. I didn't exactly quiet quit but I toned it down and only worked on what I absolutely felt like.

Then jumped over to a startup where we work hard but in a much more organic and empowering way. People come in when it makes sense.
When I was living in the USA I felt this way, but after moving to Japan, a country that is very strict on drugs and has eliminated it from the public consciousness, I feel my opinions changing. I trust myself to be able to use/not use drugs responsibly but given how irresponsible most people are, it’s undeniable the positive effects on society of NOT letting people totally destroy their brains and lives, and it is utterly daunting to think of what it would take to get the USA back on its feet re drugs.

Sonos sound systems are fantastic and ushered in some awesome technology that we didn't have when they really started to get off the ground in around 2013.
I have had the full home theatre from them for around 5 years now and it sounds excellent. You could go from playing music in one part of the house, playing TV on the home theater, to playing music from Spotify across the entire house all through one app.

The problem, is that their app lets them down. It was on the front foot when it was first released because it combined TV audio, with 100s of other streaming services linked together in the one app. But it has now become slow and difficult.

Sonos hardware is excellent and the features are still excellent, it's just the execution of those features in the app which have become degraded.
> Judges were aware of what the producers themselves claimed the content to be and how the content was being promoted.

> Evidence and hearings involving their lawyers were conducted, and that's where and how the judges became aware of everything.

Still a priori censorship. Lawyers obviously could not have watched it either. Or are you claiming the promotions and producer claims were themselves outright defamatory?

> There were clear references to the elections and to people involved in the elections.

Not a problem. As far as I'm concerned the political nature of the work should enhance the protections afforded to the work, not justify its censorship.

> abusing their economic power

That's the same arbitrary nonsense they slapped Google with when it added a link about the proposed "fake news" law to their website. Literally guilty because the message was too effective and they didn't like it.

That's a law which was rejected by our elected representatives and which these judges rammed down our throats anyway via monocratic electoral court "resolutions", by the way.

> 1) the producers were already being investigated for electoral misconduct

By an obviously partial judge. I don't accept that for a second.

> 2) they were known supporters of B; and 3) they were boosting and promoting B.'s campaign material in social media disguised as "news" and "documentaries"

Not a problem. Just citizens exercising their right to free expression.

> authorities didn't outright ban the release, but delayed it until after the election (about a week), effectively preventing misuse without imposing censorship

They censored the work until it didn't matter anymore. Temporary censorship is still censorship.

Quick primer for anyone confused about this.

Patent cases (as well as many others) are heard in the Federal Court system. The Federal Courts are organized into circuits [1]. In this case, Texas is in the Fifth Circuit.

Circuits are divided into Districts. Each District has a pool of District Court judges that hear cases. The Circuit has a whole has an Appellate Court (eg the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals).

In large geographical Districts (as is the case in Texas and elsewhere), the Districts can be further divided into Divisions. The District itself organizes its District Court Judges into Divisions. The intent here is that you shouldn't have to drive 5 hours to get to the court that would hear your case.

So if you look at the Division Map of Texas, specifically for the Eastern District of Texas [2] you will see a lot of Divisions but the area is relatively low population so each Division might only have 1 or 2 District Court judges in it.

Federal District Court judges are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate but they're also, by convention, sponsored by a Senator in their home state. This is called the "blue slip" system [3].

So the Fifth Circuit ends up being quite conservative beccause the nominees tend to be those that a Senator from a very conservative state (nearly always a Republican) has to sponsor and generally only a Republican preisdent will nominate them. The opposite happens in the 9th Circuit, which includes California.

Cases are typically randomly assigned between all eligible judges. There are limits though like if a judge has already met their case load quota, they may be excluded from the assignment.

That means that if you find a judge who is friendly to your cause, you can establish a nominal business in the relevant Division and then file your case. This is called "judge shopping" and is precisely happens in the Eastern District of Texas for patent cases.

It's also why a lot of the more controversial political cases that go up to the Supreme Court in recent years have come from the Fifth Circuit: judge shopping in Texas.

Judges have an awful lot of power in civil and criminal cases and are almost entirely immune to lawsuits and prosecution for their use of discretion ("judicial immunity"). Judges get to decide scheduling, how much time to allocate to the trial, how many motions are allowed, how long those motions are allowed to me, how much evidence can be presented, scope of testimony, admissible evidence and so on. This can all add up to being a pattern of being very friendly to certain case types or plaintiffs.

And the plaintiff essentially gets to pick the venue where to fight the case.

Because less time in the court is less time that public institutions have to spend on it, which means less money spent by the taxpayer on the case.
I've encountered the same problem with Python codebases in the LLM / machine learning space. The requirements.txt files for those projects are full of unversioned dependencies, including Git repositories at some floating ref (such as master/HEAD).

In the easy cases, digging through the PyPI version history to identify the latest version as of some date is enough to get a working install (as far as I can tell -- maybe it's half-broken and I only use the working half?). In the hard cases, it may take an entire day to locate a CI log or contemporary bug report or something that lists out all the installed package versions.

It doesn't help that every Python-based project seems to have its own bespoke packaging system. It's never just pip + requirements.txt, it'll have a Dockerfile with `apt update`, or some weird meta-packaging thing like Conda that adds it own layers of non-determinism. Overall the feeling is that it was only barely holding together on the author's original machine, and getting it to build anywhere else is pure luck.

For example: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/blob... (with some discussion at https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/disc...)
Really fascinating to see such a mix of blind spots, insecurity and, yet, good insights on full display here. It’s almost as if he’s a normal human being at the end of the day, despite his circumstances.

You know what does not show up on this map at all? Airports.
Maybe you can clear up a little confusion on my part. I looked at that link and realised that for some weird reason there are two different versions of the extension by the same developer, and the one I had installed is the other one with 93K installs (not the one you linked above with 400K). What's up with that and why doesn't he just go with the better version of the extension; what are the differences?
> That said, the conservatives tend to be literalists from the perspective of the legislature or regulator at the time the law was enacted

There’s absolutely no objective basis for this statement whatsoever.

The Supreme Court is a political body and always has been. The current rhetorical fiction that it’s some other thing is really a relic of the post-war era that became cemented because it has been a helpful fiction for both sides at various points.

The sooner we retire the nonsense idea that the court is doing anything other than make politically calculated decisions the better off we will all be.

Supreme Court justices make decisions the same way every other political actor in our system does. Because they want to, because they can get away with it, and because their constituencies and supporters demand and incentivize it.

Not working for a whole month just sounds awful. I have a lot of hobbies outside of work, but it is still the most interesting and fulfilling part of my life. Even though I need breaks for it now and then doesn’t mean I won’t miss it.

I get to spend time with wonderful people, solving interesting puzzles, building something that people love and that makes their days better. I used to work in game dev, so it brought people joy, but now I make developer tools, and it using better tools makes them love their jobs more, and makes them more effective. Some of the people who use the tools are literally doing cancer research or other very meaningful stuff.

How could I get the same feeling of fulfilment from the most amazing vacation?
