Unless you're dealing with binary data in which case byte order matters very much and if you forget to convert it you're causing a world of pain for someone.

He even has an example where he just pushes the problem off to someone else "if the people at Adobe wrote proper code to encode and decode their files", yeah hope they weren't ignoring byte order issues.

Yeah I built one of these for myself around the time it was announced. Even then, EMV was on the way, and you needed to do a little dance where you put a disabled card into the reader three times to force it to fall back to magstripe, then you could run the spoofer. I did this successfully on some vending machines and the like, but never tried it in stores.

>The bad uses outstrip the good uses.

I understand this logic, but I reject it conceptually. This is true for a huge variety of products. At the end of the day, it should be up to the individual to decide this. We survived as a society with substantially higher trust in the past. For example, check fraud is technically trivial and quite common, but did not prevent checks from being an accepted method of payment. Perhaps there is a path back to this in the future, but certainly not if we allow the megacorps and governments to make all technical decisions for the greater good.

I can write more about this but this is not the place or time.
I don't, but I run the same system configuration, so I can compile it on my computer, transfer it and run it.

You encode the image once, but transmit it many, many times, in general. It it send from phone to iCloud, then from iCloud to your other apple device and so and so on. God forbid you share it with someone. Then iCloud has internal resiliencies and redundancies, etc. etc.

Short point: I do think it’s environmentally better (or less worse). it’s a drop in the ocean though.
They don't understand and also they despair - both in part because the people who should help them (people like us) also buy into despair.
In my experience, that isn't the case. Among people who "have gotten used to" it, using capitalization to indicate the formality and/or tone of your message allows the reader to understand the writer's intention better. I have not observed any correlation between political leanings and this.

PBMs finally being on the chopping block is 20+ years overdue, and the American public have consistently refused to accept that drug manufacturers aren't solely responsible for high drug prices. Having worked with the JDRF in the past, it's never been a secret that while the list price of insulin has been going up...the net revenue per unit has actually gone down (albeit only slightly). Total profit has been scaling upwards because of a massive push of type 2 patients towards insulin, increasing sales volume.

Knowingly pushing type 2 patients towards insulin when cheaper, better options for them might exist can 100% be blamed on the manufacturers; however, the oft-maligned list price increases have a lot to do with the mostly-secret negotiations between manufacturers, PBMs, and health plans (many of which share ownership with the PBMs). A big effect of those negotiations helps to artificially increase the amount of dollars spent on drugs (on paper) while also artificially decreasing the actual dollars spent, making it easier for health plans to hit the ACA 80/20 rule with elevated premiums.

All of this to say...none of these price negotiations or middlemen entities (I'm counting health plans as middlemen between patients and their drugs...) should be targeted by the FDA, as that's not their responsibility. The FDA should be focused on the clinical side only as much as possible. Much to my chagrin, some amount of credit for PBMs and drug rebates being part of the modern conversation goes to the Trump administration.
Highly likely that anti-trust regulators would make licensing of x86 a requirement for letting the deal go through.
Except every company needs accountants. Only software companies need developers. There are roughly the same number of accounting jobs in the US as developer jobs. So it may just be due to a lack of software developers that cause the higher pay for developers. Although, outside of FAANG and similar software companies, my guess is that CPAs make more.

Musk got rid of the people who owned the relationships with the brands and agencies that drove the ad revenue. Burning those relationships plus getting rid of content moderators made sure advertisers were very skeptical of being on the platform. Then there's the GARM lawsuit causing that tiny org to shut down, suing another non-profit for point out brand safety issues, etc.

It was Musk's actions.
You would build a resume/recruitment platform, which has revenue directly related to how well it connects both parties, and recommend candidates over others due to metrics completely unrelated to their proficiency and job match?

Can't remember last time I had to worry about bandwidth for the servers. It only came up when talking about iPhones in the start because everyone was on realy slow mobile networks. Our company is usually very cost sensitive but all our server hotels so far has had unmetered bandwidth connected to a 100 Mbps interface. Has had zero complaints during the last 20 years even though we fill that one now and then.

But we don't use any of the usual cloud offerings, only smaller local companies.

Submitting a Linux kernel patch with b4
> My only issue was that the execution of an inngest function wasn't completely intuitive, at least in TS, and you have to think in terms of inngest or, more precisely, the abstraction it is providing. Is it an actor, a step function, an event consumer, a saga? or a combination of some?

I'm personally curious about this. I'm not saying you don't, but why would you need to understand what kind of abstraction it is beyond it just being Inngest"? I like to think I've been able to use it effectively without this having ever crossed my mind. But I also just might be dumb. Hence the curiosity!
Is there a way to do this that doesn't require keeping two sets of books for every API? Because the JSON API is right now the canonical one and still has to work. I don't imagine the lift is worth it for the difference between compressed JSON and BSON.

Also how much can you realistically win when the payload for small messages where the difference matters are text?
The byte order matters in all cases where there is i/o, being files, network streams, inter chip communication,... For data that stays on the same processor or for files that are only accessed with the processors of the same endianness, there really is no issue, even when doing bit manipulation.

> And why on earth would you have a dedicated scrum master?! It's just not a job that should be requiring that much labor.

At most places I worked, having a dedicated Scrum Master on the project was the norm.

Yet another case of "it's not Scrum's fault everyone is doing it wrong".
I respect the conservative approach for the kernel but I think a big part of the disconnect on this is right there in the continued treatment of Rust as the "hot new thing" and yet another fad. To me it's much more than that.

I might not have pushed back even a couple years ago but the language has been around nearly ten years now, has undeniable advantages (and disadvantages of course as with anything), and it's only gaining in popularity. Too much of the opposition feels like they're just hoping the movement fizzles out so they don't have to seriously engage with it, and I don't believe that's going to happen.

Genuinely curious because I haven't been around so long, have there been previous pushes for the inclusion of other languages in the kernel? Anything even close to the level we're seeing now with Rust?
I hate every Electron app I use, and that includes vscode.

There is a unique type of jank associated with it.

Would love to live in the apparently "bizzaro" world where desktop class apps developed using tools which try to be more native to the OS were still successful in 2024.

Every update to Adobe creative suite makes it more and more close to an electron app and further and further away from it's roots as one of the premiere high end desktop caliber programs. I interpret the rise of Electron to be mostly correlated with the lack of knowledge on how to do old school desktop GUI development among the folks who teach CS education.

I expect that fl studio, photoshop, word, and every other remaining good desktop caliber app will be lost to the "make everything a in web-browser" trend, eventually. I'm so over it and it hasn't happened yet.

This is also the reason why GenAI STILL has no good prosumer tools. ComfyUI/Automatic1111/Forge/lm-studio are the closest we have and they're gradio or electron webapps which indicates that AI folks are not down with leaving the python or JS ecosystem for even a minute.

This means we need good desktop caliber GUI developers who understand AI. Unfortunately, they basically don't exist.

Thus, the world runs SOTA models on janky shit gradio or electron frontends instead of the desktop GUI's we had for similar UIs 10-20 years ago.

Word 2003 was peak software, and I'll never change my mind.
Yeah, so far CKX is the airport I can find with the most hops to Anchorage (4, but 3 to Fairbanks which is also fairly well connected). YGZ is likewise 4 hops to Ottawa, and I can't find anything higher in Canada (there are a few that are 4 hops to Montreal in northern Quebec). Nor can I find anything in Greenland more than 4 hops from Copenhagen, Keflavik, or Gatwick (hilariously, that's the fewest-hop big airport for some routes due to flying through Akureyri, which is connected to RKV rather than KEF). There must be some island hopping chain somewhere in the Pacific (or perhaps in the Indian Ocean?) but it's not so easy to find. It seems you're usually a few hops from either Tahiti, Hawaii or Fiji...
A couple of questions - the end result is a video, technically, right? its not on top of the actual app.

Secondly, if I create one of these, I have to pay a subscription fee the entire time I use it? I can't just pay a fee for generating it and self-host?

I don't know how to exactly classify this, but based on my experience it feels like a certain type of engs who have only been exposed to this type of way of doing things from when they started, like at uni. It's to do with going through certain type of education, after that certain type of enterprisey environment following very strict rules of design patterns and applying these patterns to absolutely everything they do. They haven't done many quicker projects or side projects to realize that simpler things can work absolutely well enough to realize there can be flexiblity. I think they are good people and outside of work I get along well with them, but during work I do feel frustrated and when I try to explain it to them, I get kind of a West World like response "Doesn't look like anything to me". Like they can't get it, because they only have the uni and enterprise experience, and not experience to build things on their own volition.

The day I reached that level was a wonderful feeling.

Some of my favorite cookbooks just outright skip steps or don't bother writing down important pieces of information. You should know what to do by now, so here is some general guidelines, go at it.

Getting to that point took awhile though, and IMHO the key to doing it faster is to be mindful of all the steps that are taken while cooking. Understanding why there is a wet and a dry mixing bowl, understanding why sometimes there isn't. Understanding why glazes are used vs a marinade[1], and knowing why some things are cooked low and slow vs hot and fast, etc.

[1] As an aside, I estimate that 90% of marinade recipes in the western world are pure trash - dry rubs are useless, marinades without an acidic ingredient in them are useless, and any marinades with an acid that suggests you need more than 8 hours is wrong on the math.
Also loved Adioso, while traveling in Europe I used it extensively - the UI was incredible and I could never understand why it was not much much more popular... I haven't traveled much in the last 4 years and it's sad to see it does not appear to exist any longer?
> You need to really understand and empathize with the user experience and see your hours invested from their perspective. “Wait, the engineer spent all day making the variables conform to the style guide? But the search bar isn’t working!”

This. I get terribly annoyed every time I see ugly code or user-unfriendly features that just barely work, all duly covered in (mostly perfunctory) unit tests. I can't help wondering how much better both could have been- the code and the actual delivered feature- had not the developer in charge wasted their time writing tests that never break in any case, save for that one time when you're trying to actually improve the mess.

Style guides and linters are the way developers who never think an inch beyond their keyboard assert their presence and importance to the rest of the team.

Not intended to be snarky, but what would you consider them? Is it akin to a function in the mathematical sense, that takes (sensory) input and creates output based on that? If so, how does this function work, if not by statistics? I am genuinely interested in your point of view. Also: Don't you think humans can be somewhat compared to a "pretrained model", as in human genetics gives the brain a head start, so that it can start speaking latin from what you deam "homo sapiens mumbling?
I Think Subscriptions Are Over
Anyone else super subscription-fatigued?

I don't have a problem paying when the pricing model makes sense, ie, when I actively engage with your product, or you give me access to a content library that keeps improving, like netflix.

What I have fatigue with is SaaS products that could easily be microtransactions.

In fact I was using an AI product that was using a credit system and swtiched over to a subscription. Without getting into too much detail, if you didn't pay for the subscription, you lost your library of work. But I was only using the product 1-2 times a year - it felt crazy to pay even $10 for them to store data that probably cost pennies to store.

Maybe it's because I know how the sausage is made, but I don't like being screwed at this level. Pricing structure needs to more closely match value add, and I think a lot of software should be microtransaction based.

Curious if there are other business models that any of you have considered outside of software as a subscription.
Be where your customers are. That sounds easy, but knowing who your actual customers are is hard. Figure that out and then target that group as precise as possible and as hard as possible.

This is like Oracle buying Sun. Qualcomm is a famously litigious company. They'd decimate the workforce and rely on Intel's patent portfolio to make the takeover worth it

No idea who might be infringing on what, but I'm quite sure Qualcomm's lawyers would quickly figure out which companies they'll put the squeeze on. Or just throw spaghetti against the wall and see what sticks. AMD, Apple (think Rosetta), TSMC, cloud providers, etc.

I found the most stable to be a third option: 'podman compose' with docker-compose-v2 cli "backend" connecting to the actual podman socket. This will be done if you run 'podman compose' with 'docker-compose' in PATH, and DOCKER_HOST set to your podman socke, since 'podman compose' will just shim through to whichever command it finds available.

Both podman-compose (the Python project) and docker-compose-v1 have significant gaps in the compose spec.
> Instead of measuring an institution’s wealth or selectivity, it could track metrics like:

> Employment Rates: Track the percentage of graduates employed in their field of study within six months to a year after graduation.

> Earnings Data: Use data on median salaries adjusted for regional cost of living and industry to assess economic outcomes.

This is a toxic way of looking at education, in my opinion, like it's some kind of vocational training. By this metric, two-month training programs in high-demand fields would be the highest ranked, by far. But often, the subjects which have the deepest impact on one's thinking—and on one's curiosity, intellectual abilities, and life in general—are the ones which have no easy one-to-one mapping to a job. I've taken philosophy courses, and anthropology courses, which have changed my life completely, but I didn't get employment as a philosopher or anthropologist within six months after graduation. The value of education is in how much it can change your thinking, satisfy your curiosity, and make you into a well-rounded person. It's not just whether it can prepare you for some job. And if you reduce education to "median salaries adjusted for regional cost of living" then you're measuring education purely on a sell-out basis.

Really except for the networking (including say Bluetooth) nobody is big endian anymore. So how about just don't leak that thing from the network layer.

And do not define any data format to be big endian anymore. Deine it as little endian (do not leave it undefined) and everyone will be happy.
While you can opt out, not every document check station has signage to that effect in my experience; the TSA individual only tells you to put your head in the camera frame; and most people have had An Experience with TSA officials becoming belligerent and even aggressive over small things.

I would take "12 civilians" with a grain of salt, given the fog of war and conflicts of interest at play, as well as Hezbollah's secrecy around who is involved in their military operations. As Abiad acknowledged, it's "very difficult to discern whether they belong to a certain entity like Hezbollah or others". It's similar to Gaza, where only Hamas knows how many fighters they lost.

> thus directly targeting innocents and minors

You're not using "directly targeting" in the usual sense. If a strike was aimed at a combatant but also happens to kill a random passerby, we wouldn't say that the passerby was targeted, let alone "directly". Conventional strikes always carry risks of civilian harm as well; that's why we have standards of proportionality rather than demanding guarantees of no collateral damage.
