At MPOW [1] I have a Mac because it can be properly sealed and instrumented by certified commercial tools. Inside it, I do all development in a Linux VM that runs my editor, language servers and linters, source control, local build pipelines, local DBs, a local emulator of many AWS services, and the system under development.

The native macOS apps I run are Firefox, Zoom, Outlook, a VPN client, and, of course, a VM runner, and WezTerm to interact with the VMs.

I slightly miss the GUI niceties of Emacs and Vim, but both are very much usable via a terminal session: true color, mouse support, shared clipboard, blazing display speed. I could run VSCode if I wanted. (I of course also somehow miss sane window management which I could get under X or Wayland, but frankly 3-4 native windows are not such a pain to manage manually, and Firefox has Tree Style Tabs.)

With new Macs being ARM-based, and most production servers being x64-based Linux, there's pretty little choice, mostly about the type of emulator you pick. Yes, you can mount the source tree via NFS. Or you can develop 100% without native code locally under macOS, it works with Java and somehow with Node. If you got Python though, you suddenly depend on significant amounts of native code extensions (from greenlets to numpy to Pillow to ML libraries), and developing on exactly the same OS which you run in prod saves you a lot of trouble.

My sister in law is a ER doctor - she was assaulted by family of a COVID patient because they “didn’t believe” in it. It’s sad.
Along with this, take time and listen to the BBC Series "13 minutes to the moon" https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p083t547 which goes into detail behind everything that happened during those 13 minutes. I was truly amazed by the backstory and the youth of everybody in the control room. As I recall, Gene Kranz (in his mid 30s in 1969) was the oldest person in the room.

That example you gave could certainly be done in Lex/Flex and I assume other lexers/tokenizers as well, for instance, you would probably use states and have "$x" in the initial state evaluate to a different token type than "$x" in the string state.

But I do get your meaning, I've written a lot of tokenizers by hand as well, sometimes they can be easier to follow the hand written code. Config files for grammars can get convoluted fast.

But again, I was not meaning it as criticism. But your talk title does start with "How to write a programming language and shell in Go" so given the title I think Lexers / Tokenizers are worth noting.
Expect predates Linux by years. It is an old school portable program.
I guess I’ve been a bit disappointed Nerves doesn’t run on microcontrollers, though, such as an Arduino or Raspberry Pi Pico. Basically,
once you have Linux, you can run nearly anything already.
>First, industry stakeholders often misunderstand — or miscommunicate — what problem needs to be solved using AI.
Second, many AI projects fail because the organization lacks the necessary data to adequately train an effective AI model.
Third, in some cases, AI projects fail because the organization focuses more on using the latest and greatest technology than on solving real problems for their intended users.
Fourth, organizations might not have adequate infrastructure to manage their data and deploy completed AI models, which increases the likelihood of project failure.
Finally, in some cases, AI projects fail because the technology is applied to problems that are too difficult for AI to solve.

Yes.
It’s an interesting idea. Reminds me a little of some parts of Christopher Langans CTMU theory in that everything serves to simply further develop intelligence in the universe.
> Maybe that came out wrong.

No worries! What matters is that we can discuss it and figure things out eventually.

What i can totaly agree with you is that correct design is critical, and blaming individuals for their failings is not the way forward if we want to make an activity safer. I think this is the gist of what you wrote and it is absolutely correct.

The only thing i bristled at is that it is not a new insight and widely accepted tenet in aviation.

> For example I'd be that a UX designer with empathy for the user would not put a touchscreen focused control into a car.

Yeah. I agree with that point. I think modern cars have touchscreens for two reasons: It is cheaper for the manufacturers, (Less parts to assemble, and less parts to keep in stock) and it is slightly prefered by the costumers due to the showroom appeal. (As you also mention.) It is kind of like candy in that regard. Not good for people but they still want it.

In other words it is not the empathy and the understanding what is lacking. Just that the cost savings combine with the consumer appeal in such a way that they overpowered the UX considerations. Sad thing. But sadly not a situation where people reading a design book will change the incentive structure.

In fact I bet that if we dug into it we would find internal memos written by UX engineers pointing out exactly what you wrote, and other engineers in response pointing out that all those functions on the touch screens are “non safety critical”. I have seen those arguments often.
But agents aren't people? If an agent is doing your will then give it your credit card. It's funny to see the previous hype cycle desperately trying to jump onto the current one.

It'd be more clever to store the notes as replies to your own address, connected to the email; and have the extension see them and render them differently (the extension can store the notes mails with a particular keyword/GMail label). Alternatively they can be draft replies, so you can edit the notes, but that might pollute your Drafts folder.

An advantage of the "reply-to-self" is that the notes would be stored in GMail itself and are viewable on all your devices, including ones without this hypothetical extension.

I guess the extension can also emulate an editing feature by deleting the old version of the "note" email and creating a new one..

It’s all about what you pay and how you hire.

I worked on a team that had a bunch of folks from India who had been escalation engineers for big software companies. They were awesome—- at restoring services. Terrible at building or sustaining. Probably because they were trained well at troubleshooting and repair.

Another team I was on probably consisted of the smartest people I’ve ever met, period. All Indian, but from a pure university edu path and never worked in a big outsourcing shop.

At the end, people are people.

Unfortunately it's how those with less technological knowledge help the government to place restrictions on freedom, because there is a disconnect with reporting accurate news and making a name for yourself. Walled gardens are easier to police (although often allowing more sinister things through than standard websites), and the public is becoming more and more aligned with social media being "the internet" similar to how AOL was setup in the 90's. Those of us that were around in that time period saw how much more was possible outside of these walled gardens, and I believe even those that weren't around in those days that have any tech-literacy are able to see the benefit to being able to exist outside of social media.

There is always going to be some kind of crusade in the name of something that tugs at everyone's heartstrings, but it's only to chip away at the freedoms of those that don't partake in the terrible acts (which there's no doubt terrible acts do occur, but not enough to have us all give up our freedom to make it easier to stop). I hope it's clear that I agree with you, and it is scary how easily swayed the public is (and that's coming from a father that definitely wants protections for our children, but also understand that a lot of that needs to start at home with communication more than limiting technology).
It is sad IMO, yours may differ, that educational institutions, once among the pioneers of the internet, are now relying on an advertising company for something as basic as email.

Stack Exchange sites have a horrible authentication system so using them as an example is a bad start.

However they could solve this "problem" in a number of ways, the most straightforward being to use subdomains instead of individual domains.

I put "problem" in quotes as it's not even a problem; it's browsers working as intended. When you visit different domain names, you should expect that your browser won't be aware of data (cookies) stored by other domains.

I don't really understand this post. My take is that, if anything, the host OS is becoming less and less important (not that I would choose ubuntu for... well... anything these days).

There is an explosion of viable alternatives that are all running in containers (nix, alpine, debian, hell - lots of folks are just using distroless/scratch containers these days with static binaries). For folks on managed clusters, they don't even care what the underlying hosts are at all (and again - they aren't ubuntu).

Kernel consolidation is real, but I definitely don't see an Ubuntu monoculture. I see a linux monoculture. My guess is that won't change until Linus steps back from running that show, and then I expect it to fracture again (It's always the people that end up mattering).

I also don't agree that ARM isn't coming. It is (I'm already running several services on rpis, and I get issued ARM macs for work). From a power perspective... hard to beat - The performance/watt is just too good to ignore. Graviton/TauT2A are already here, and they're economical on the hosted side.

Basically - this feels like the "I'm getting on up there and just want a stable thing I know" type nostalgia post. Ubuntu fits that bill for a lot of folks, but it's not where I see the next generation going.

If you're only seeing ubuntu... I suspect you've been doing the same thing for too long. Time to jump out of the rut. Go somewhere new, see the cool new-fangled things the kids are playing with (it's not ubuntu).

Ubuntu is a perfectly fine solution (and frankly - debian more-so) but the view the author has from the context of a university setting is... as outdated as my professor that insisted on smalltalk still in 2007. It's not wrong, it's just aged.
Maybe that was about Tron OS?

I remember an article on that around that time which specifically mentioned it playing video --- on an 80186.

Difference of course, is Tron is still around and is one of the most installed/used OSs in existence.
A cheeky experiment was done to prove this back in the aughts:

https://www.science.org/content/article/caveman-or-dick-chen...

"In a creative experiment that relied on rubber masks of former Vice President Dick Cheney and other distinctive mugs, researchers have shown that American crows have an uncanny ability to pick a familiar human face out of a crowd."
Single word searches don’t do well with similarity search out of the box. Although some heuristics could probably help.
A friend used to jog around the university I worked at; he'd jog past an area that, for a month out of the year, was under a hawk nest. He came by commenting that he'd been dive-bombed by a hawk that was obviously guarding it's nest he said it had bonked him on the head and yelled at him -- he decided not to go jogging that way for a while after. I was kinda impressed that the hawk had "bonk human on head" mode as well as "use lethal claws to kill things and eat them later" mode -- seemed like an interesting level of restraint to bonk but not cut the human.

That the crow had a mental map of the building sufficiently detailed to know "human on 8th floor may be able to help Charles get out out of net in front of human's cliff cave if I yell at him" seems several orders of magnitude more complex...

The passengers on UA93 attacked the hijackers because they learned what happened to the other planes. The hijackers primary goal was thwarted as a result, likely saving the lives of thousands of people in the US Capitol building.

Passengers have intervened in several other terrorists attacks and now regularly intervene for other (non-terrorist) threat passengers.

It is extremely easy to get weapons into the boarding area, people do it accidentally every day all over the country and the TSA's own testing show that their screening misses the majority. Doors and procedures absolutely help as does the passenger response. Airport screening, OTOH, is primarily security theater.
The infection risk is real. What's the relative risk increase regarding death with (with, not from) Hepatitis B infection (not diagnosis, infection) between people who've never injected themselves with anything and injection drug users?

I tried Nerves a while back... device programming is brutal, Nerves makes it a lot simpler but it is still brutal and makes you wonder how it looks in C. That Mini Phoenix they mention... hahaha, seriously, unless they did some major work it is not a Phoenix.

Or flip it around entirely— perhaps not this at all, because it’s the same human perception of “us smarter than them” but pretending “us” is “something else”. I like the idea that our plane of existence is present but inconsequential in some other reality— like a shadow, or gravity. It’s not that crazy of a stretch when we can barely accept that maybe the other species on our own planet can Think, it’s just a completely foreign framework of existence from what we know, so therefore, it cannot be.
There might be some truth in that. I've come to respect SQLite more as a serious database though. It can perform well if you can manage the trade-offs of running on a single server and turn the right knobs. The upgrade path to Postgres is also a lot clearer than with Mongo.
How cool would it be to have a reinforcement learning playground to teach ‘crows’ and ‘octopuses’ and ‘cuttlefish’?

I agree, and unless someone in a very large city can tell me otherwise, this seems to be how local government works. Everyone is living off the basis that they "did they best they knew how", and that seems to remove them from liability. I have seen lots of crazy things over the years, and I believe that erasing any kind of liability based on someone's account of how security works is at best willful ignorance. If we want local government to hold personal data, then we need local government to be responsible with that data. Saying, "I didn't know any better," is not acceptable in 2024 (and really hasn't been for at least a decade or more).

Lets be fair now. It was not like this as far as I can tell, before Lava Jato.

Its just that the executive and legislative are now so weakened due to corruption scandals (and open investigations) that no one seemingly dares to move against 1 wild judge.

I wonder how this ends though. 1 judge seemingly has more power now than a set of democratically elected senators

It’s come up several times.
20 years ago I was working at Accenture and they were giving tax software to states for “free” including cracking down on delinquent or underpaying entities. By “free” I mean they received a percentage of any additional tax revenue they brought in through their enforcement. The state got additional revenue it would have otherwise not received without any additional cost, possibly cheaper than had they hired full time staff to do the same job since Accenture built for one state and ported to the rest.

Up until 1300, the old foot was longer and the mile was 5000 feet. In 1300 they redefined 10 old feet to be 11 new smaller feet, an acre was now 66x660 feet instead of 60x600, and eventually the mile was 8x660 = 5280.

Doesn’t matter. They just need enough to show it’s illegal—presumably that can be done given a lot of people are concluding it. Actually, scratch that. They just need to show up.

Both sides in this are being performatively dramatic. It makes the judge look tough on us imperial Americans. It makes Elon look tough on woke censorship. Win-win.
typical austerity measures. The US and the UK power holders have massive incentives to privatize healthcare and schooling, so they de-fund and starve the beast with the sole purpose of trying to get people to support laws that turn public institutions into private ones. "a government small enough to drown in the bath water"

With healthcare this is especially disastrous. In the US for example, most smaller towns don't have a hospital and many don't have any doctors whatsoever, they have to drive a hundred miles or more to get care, and we spend a fuck ton of tax money medivacing (air lifting) these people to major city centers. These places used to have hospitals, but they weren't profitable.

Then these people get disillusioned with the system, are sold the lie that private healthcare will fix all of their problems, and politicians and health corporations runaway with the bag while we citizens in the US pay more for basic healthcare than any OEC nation while also having the worst health outcomes of OEC nations on par with so called "3rd world" countries. Its genuinely pathetic.

I've posted this comment before but I grew up in Florida on a decent amount of land for a curious child. One day I was feeding the crows some stale cuban bread, there were probably 5 of them sitting on the fence watching me throw the bread. Each one would fly down and take a piece.

One of them flew down and tumbled, his friends started laughing something fierce. His friends then all took turns mimicking his tumble in the grass, you can just tell they were laughing. One would dive bomb into the grass and flop around like an athlete faking an injury while the others were squawking up something fierce.

Probably the funniest thing they saw in weeks.
They inspect you more often when there's been problems recently. Might be a year or two before the inspections to back to annual.

At least that's what our inspectors do - if there's something bad, they'll check up on it later.

we should accept that government agencies are not suitable for the purpose of providing your basic food, medical, education, or security needs; who furthermore only care about your food, your healthcare, habeas corpus or rule of law when it suits them and maintains their job.
