If anyone can point in the direction of a Cursor like experience, but within Neovim, I'm definitely in the market for that option.
Yeah, my first thought is the plugins are going away sooner or later.

I hope they use Jetbrains as a base instead of VS Code (or roll their own). I strongly prefer IdeaVim or over the one in VS Code. It's the main reason why I don't use Cursor.
Search your feelings, you know it to be true. Every empire has had its day in the sun and its inevitable fall. What makes the fall inevitable? It's that during the seeding years of the fall, the notion that the ascendant, ever-present power surrounding everything could one day falter seems laughable to most.
Pretty cool!

That's one nice thing about debian. For home servers I can setup auto updates once and forget about it till the next debian version is released. It will auto install security updates, reboot if necessary.
The insanity of any narrative different to my own is an attack on my own. Most insane recent attempt : The attempt to inject the colonialism&racism story into Jared Diamonds books: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/14/science/ancient-dna-easte...

It must be horrible if a story of a fight explained all the world you know all your life giving you conversation airsuperiority.. and then that story starts to fade out while you are in it..
> Are you sure those people aren't trafficked, rather than in your country voluntarily? Such exploitation is also a problem, but I'd say a different one.

Weird switch: First you're saying "these poor bastards probably don't get paid much at all", and now it's "This might be so lucrative that it's profitable to traffic people to do it" -- how does that add up? Would you make a business of importing, say, Syrians or Pakistanis to Sweden, where they'll get social security in their own name, and can therefore easily get away from you and live on that?

Sure, many of them "have been traficked" in the sense that they've paid (what was at least to them) a fortune to be smuggled into Western European countries or at least up to their borders (for varying definitions thereof; like, say, the British border being in a camp on the French coast). But that's "traficking" in the sense of "price-gouging on travel tickets", not "being sold into slavery". People who pay a lot to get somewhere are pretty much by definition there voluntarily, aren't they?

One group of people that is apparently trafficked in the other sense are Roma (and probably Sinti, for all I know) from Eastern Europe, above all Romania, who are kept in ramshackle camps on the outskirts of cities and towns and set to begging more centrally all day long. But AFAIK they don't have any residential permits at all, neither permanent nor temporary. They're in the country not as refugees or any other kind of migrants, but under the Schengen open-travel rules, basically as tourists. If they get in trouble with the authorities they're often just rotated out for a while and then shipped in again. But not being official residents of the country they're not (AIUI) eligible for this migrant-go-home bonus, so irrelevant to this discussion.
You're dumbing it down.

But I envy you living in a snowflake world without insecurities, cheating, divorces, etc.
is that Apple's job, to make client app for X?
lol you think Elon sits there writing shit at a desk? He delegates. Runs multiple businesses and floats about unblocking people and making sure progress is made.

Engineers don’t work like that.
An aside but this is why I was blown away by Mario Odyssey on the Switch. While it did get patches to add a few new games modes and bonuses, there was nothing done to fix anything broken with the title because there wasn't anything. If you buy a physical copy from the last few years, there is no additional patch to download.

They had all the issues sorted out before release, very rare nowadays.
You believe that not stopping at STOP signs is safe?
> By law, there’s usually 6-10’ space requirement for parking near a mailbox on a street. And cars rarely follow those rules, parking pretty close to mailboxes.

Usually? I've lived in 3 states and none of them had this requirement. The closest is California which merely requires that a parked car not "obstruct the normal movement" of a mail carrier.
Even if it's set up with the "right" incentives, internal cost allocation can cause bad unintended side effects at the firm level. I worked at at large bank during the financial crisis. Individual teams got charged an implied rent for the space they occupied to their P&L - sensible because it means you can get a better idea of how profitable they really are. However, they went further and the rent was also higher for "nicer" parts of the building (which the firm owned and did not sublet to anyone). So when lots of space became available as large numbers of people were let go, teams moved themselves to empty space which was "less desirable" so had a lower internal rent. The space they left was left unoccupied, so this didn't save the firm any money. Worse, an external contractor was used to move the stuff between desks so it actually cost the firm money while "saving" the team money.
Dan’s sister here. Came to see what people were saying. Thank you to those who shared true feelings, memories and condolences.

To those of you who took the discussion in your self-serving tangential rants, wow! “Know your audience” might be advice you could take to heart.
I know it's just a figure of speech, but I'd also like to add a reminder if someone needs to see it: channeling that same rage into investing time and effort into making a change is the very reason why such an enraging show is made and why it should be watched. Just raging into the wind is pointless, specially after choosing not to invest anything into making a change
> Mostly I was shocked/amused at the juxtaposition of apparent opinions. "Cops are abusing people? Well what about about the employers abusing people?" is just a weird stance to take?

Possibly. But focusing on a small target yet ignoring a large target then complaining "whataboutism" is a common tactic when harming the target, not the started goal, is the motive for action. Though in this case I don't suspect that your motive is to harm the police, your grey comment suggests that enough other people do.
Wasn't he effectively some version of upper middle class though? With enough money for servants and safely patronised, his time was protected from basic human needs.
This is standard practice in basically every country. Try to cross a border with a pile of cash and see what happens. Police finds a box of cash in your car? You better explain where it came from and why you drive it around.

There is so much weird hate for the government in the comments, but please provide a single sane scenario where you need to send cash instead of a bank transfer that is not about avoiding laws/taxes.

There are NONE. You send the cash because you did something against the law.

So by all means, the police should keep the money until you simple prove the non-existing totally legit reason why you could not use a bank transfer. I understand the problem with this, but you don´t prove that you are innocent; but large amounts of cash are usually connected to crime and it is your job to explain why not.
> Endorsing a candidate isn't a factual stance.

Rejecting an obscurantist, anti-science candidate is in line with supporting and defending basic science.

You are not defending the importance of evidence-based science if you do not call out the candidate with a blatant obscurantist and anti-intelectual agenda, which already negatively impacted millions of people.

And I'm not even touching on the systematic threats against basic education.

(After all, the Internet *excells* in allowing people with niche interests to find each other !)

And focused more on how it's about not losing the readers that would actually find it interesting if it was presented just a little bit better.
I've also made an editor/IDE from scratch and it is painful, for example implementing text rendering and Unicode support (emojis) is a PITA and takes a lot of optimization if you want below 1ms screen of text rendering. I however took the approach "every feature is a plugin", so when adding features I first made the core API able to handle the feature then implemented the feature as a plugin. So a few years into development I rarely need to touch the core API and can implement new features with a high level easy to use API in just days.

About adaption, it's very hard to make people switch over to a new editor, so by forking an popular editor you shaved off years of development, and it will be easier for users to switch over. But probably at the cost of implementing new features takes longer and large refactors more difficult.

As someone who has recently tried to refactor our app atop of VSCode (treating it like a platform), we got burned by the UI design decisions that are not straightforward to overcome, let alone maintain. The closed-source MS marketplace did not help either towards our OSS goals.

However, I found Theia (https://theia-ide.org) on HN (like a bunch of other cool things; this is one way I justify the time I spend/sink on this site) and find it a much better fit for our OSS goals (foundation owned, open-source marketplace) with full mod-ability while being compatible to VSCode extensions API (in theory). I recommend you look into it for your app.
Of course Western propaganda would say that. Otherwise the US and NATO would have to behave like adults and take the responsibility for not listening [0].

I wonder if anyone remembers the bad old says of System V init scripts without process supervision and with sequential runlevel-based startup and shutdown. Database server crashed (and didn't restart), and now you're looking for a log entry or cron email to troubleshoot what went wrong and having to manually restart it like an animal.

I pray that, in the future, *nix/POSIX adds process management programmable<->declarative (congruent) supervisor coprocesses and lifecycle hooks such that running a system becomes more like the Erlang BEAM runtime.
That's what I learned over the years. But by I appreciate that me and my friends ain't normal.

Edit because I read your other comment: sure there might have been cheating and other sorts of trouble. But iirc envy never played a role.
While jobs maybe not require someone been physically present. So far over the last 2 years seeing multiple businesses do return to office, productivity sky rocketed. Sure a few people who didn’t want to return to the office left, but turns out they weren’t that productive. People are easy to replace now.
Not sure if this is what you'd like, but I remember this repo from some time ago https://github.com/Storia-AI/sage

The response is in your comment itself "every MAJOR smartphone maker".

That means both that minor makers or sellers were excluded. And also that major sellers had to abide but Amazon or Flipkart rules to stay in the program. For example by selling new models exclusively on these platforms.
Hahaha. For me, its the people that want to hold that information back which are toxic and manipulative like hell. Its simple. If you want to hide it, it was likely very bad and your partner should know. If you manage to hide it, you are the toxic person.
> You have, in some countries, the legal right "to request" work from home under laws typically aimed at flexible working. But that's it.

I would think, generally speaking, you have the right to request anything of anyone anywhere. Do those laws do anything?
To be fair not all people who are there to solve interesting problems prefer remote, so they would only lose some subset of those folks.
I bet they do, but the great thing with blogs is that you don't need to get a journalism degree first to publish one !
We plan on selling to enterprise companies. We know a lot of companies want to keep their repos private and so we offer them on-prem hosting options. Closed source tools can't really do this because they have to keep their prompt building algorithms behind a private API that they own.

This seems to work pretty well for Codeium, which offers its product free to consumers (at a loss), and is still able to make net profit from enterprise companies. At least that's the plan for now!
yeah thanks I kept looking for a reason for the 6-way or 6-layers or something.
My anecdotal experience tells me that it never works in a high scale product environment. Having managed and lead 2 teams that maintained a legacy system with hex-arch and we had to move DBs in both. We ended up rewriting most of the application as it was not suitable for the new DB schema and requirements.
Interestingly there should be one which is missing which is well appropriate unless everyone is super smart math professor level genius:

These are informal quick chats work nicely, until it doesn't, then it's a disaster and docs are needed.

With certain people I can work like that. With others that I don't trust, have seen don't shoddy work, don't communicate well, then write a doc and we'll discuss it.
I've heard this many times before (I think Charles Bukowski used to preach this?), and I have to say I disagree. Famously Douglas Adams had to be forced to write every sentence in the Hitchhiker's Guide. He certainly didn't have a book inside him that had to get out, he had external deadlines and rent to pay. Can you imagine a world without HGTTG?

Sounds bizarre to me if true. They did standard two week notice, left documentation of work in flight, hadn't slacked off before leaving, etc.
Indeed, I would like to know if you have no problem killing kitten. That attitude is likely going to be an issue further down the road. Better get it settled now then later.
> In many places it’s actually illegal to sit at a red light or intersection with your car in neutral, foot off the clutch.

If we are talking about the US, AFAICT, it is legal to do this in all 50 states. However, neutral coasting on a downgrade is illegal in several states. I was taught to put the car in neutral whenever a longer wait is anticipated to reduce stress on the clutch (I don't know if it actually reduces stress or not).

> You’ll fail your driving test if you do that

This is possibly true; at least where I am there are about a dozen perfectly legal things that can potentially cause you to fail your driving test.

I had points deducted on my test for not pressing the button on the automatic gearshift selector when changing from Reverse to Drive.
Generally, L2 networks are engineered with the assumption that they will carry TCP, and TCP performs really poorly with high loss rates (depends on the specific congestion control used, but the boundary can be anywhere between 1% and 25%), so they try to make sure on L2 level that losses are minimal. There are some scenarios in which a network can be engineered around high loss rates (e.g. some data center networks), but those don't use TCP, at least with traditional loss recovery.

Error correction codes on L4 level are generally only useful for very low latency situations, since if you can wait for one RTT, you can just have the original sender retransmit the exact packets that got lost, which is inherently more efficient than any ECC.

Man, all of that sounds awful for those coworkers and customers. But it isn't GPs problem. It isn't their company. He doesn't employ them. He isn't responsible for their experience. Put the blame on their poor experience squarely where it belongs: management. Why is shitty management letting some underperformer ruin things? Super convenient to claim personal integrity and shift the blame to the underperformer when management is clearly not demonstrating personal integrity and protecting their team and customers.
There's a company that is famous for two series, one is a fantasy roleplaying game, one is a post-apocalyptic role-playing game, but the story and the structure of the games are nearly identical and the in the latter the mechanics and gameplay make a lot more sense in the context of the story than in the former.

That's pretty much exactly what they're saying in the video.

They show their off-the-shelf dev kit which features a generic omni-directional rubber-duck antenna with quoted 1dB of gain (essentially nothing) and 21dBm of transmit power.
It is pretty much both. And these tools are ineffective for security anyway.
Infinite Token Theorem
That and the number of EV miles driven vs ICE miles driven shooting up.
I find the “remote vs onsite” debate to be a little bit misguided. I try to reframe it as a balancing act between “broad work” and “deep work”. The difference being that broad work is the kind of thing that needs collaboration and interaction and deep work needs focus and singular attention.

As an engineering leader, I have had some success and traction with non-engineers by re-framing the debate in this way.

I wrote these ideas up as a blog post earlier this year:

15 days a year is awful!

Here in the UK for a full time employee the minimum by law, regardless of how long you've worked at a place, is 28 days. For all full time employees.

I think I'm on 32 now, and sick leave doesn't come out the holiday allowance, that's absurd!
I'm a software lead for passenger information systems on public transit. What that means is: The little screen that shows you what your next stop is, and the little voice clip that plays "Next Stop: Braintree" or what have you.

It's not quite as nice a feedback loop as ordinary web dev, but I've found a $20 webcam easily pays for itself many times over in this environment. This becomes all the more important as we start to build more advanced software functionality into our product offerings, which is where I really shine despite my undergrad in electrical engineering (I chose EE, like how aspiring writers choose to major in the classics).
It is not bullshit, though it does not apply universally either. In many cases it may just be managers who need to justify having spent all that money on their office spaces.

That being said:

Deflating a real estate bubble is painful, just ask China. By artificially keeping up demand for office spaces through unnecessary RTO, banks and governments avoid having to go through that, at least for the time being.

And yes, with (partially government-guaranteed) mortgage-backed securities and all that, large-scale devaluation of commercial real estate is going to be a huge pain.

In NYC where the vacancy situation is particularly dire, politicians have been banging the RTO drum for a while.

Same for me, but MacBook Air M1 and T7 Shield. But it doesn't always seem to be the cable. One of Samsung's was definitely broken and they replaced it, but it keeps happening with other cables too.
I don’t mind most of them, but the cut/move is IMO unusable.
My understanding of URA, is that it's when a manager is able to manage a person into leaving the job that they can't justify firing, but really don't want on the team. So then the person leaves, and is flagged as we didn't want to keep them anyway.
Integrity doesn't vary based on the actions of other people.

A better move would be to use the networking opportunity to find other high-performance people who don't like the BS, and form a productish-consultingish worker-owned co-op to replace the soulless, erratic corporation with a more stable, humane environment.
Is this similar to the Universal Approximator Theorem?
