Those daily long lunches were time/place where on rare occasion ad-hoc discussions would lead to a new way of doing something, a new (micro)service ...

Basically the type of synergy/innovation that is typically thought by business that it happens by the water-cooler.

On the other hand, in my experience and observations - just one or two of 2-3 days hackathons (so total of <=6 work days) produced almost an order of magnitude more synergy/innovation than those daily (long) lunches during the rest ~5 years of workdays.

Though sure - some things like initial employee onboarding (or even internal move to different unit/team), trainings/workshops, (semi)annual or quarterly plannings...etc are usually better in person.

Yet I've basically never had any of those at office desk. It was either bigger conference room (or dedicated auditorium/presentation/workshop room), or a meeting/lunch with manager or a (more) senior person with one or two of "newbies".

After initial onboarding (which is usually a week or two of "newbie" not being at desk with the rest of their new team).

All of those things add up to 1-2 days in office per month (including giving talks/training/workshop to "newbies").

Add 1 day for interviewing candidates F2F, and we're up to 2-3 days per month.

Even if you have a hackathon each month ... And the most I've seen was 2-3 days once a quarter, though usually it was 2-3 days per half a year - so nothing close to mythical Google 20% of the time ... We're still talking about at most 4-5 days in office per month.
Yes, this is part of the fun. Kind of having a binary clock on the table.
you get the entire story of a collapse of one of the most renowned indie game publishers over the course of ~7 years, a situation where the entire staff of the house walks out, and all you get out of this is "well we'll see what game they release next"?

It's a long story, so if you are just wondering about their portfolio, you can skip to the end section "The Future of Annapura".
I agree, I’ve been working with other languages and frameworks and in my opinion nothing comes close. People often mention Laravel as comparable or even superior, but having worked with it for a year I struggled a lot with how messed up PHP is (even with all the improvements done over the years.)

JavaScript doesn’t have anything comparable either, although I haven’t worked much with NextJS with server-side rendering, maybe this brings it closer to DX of Rails
Even if ASPI overdid it, I think it’s prudent to look at China’s advancement momentum all the same. The issue is that at their scale anything they put their weight behind has immediate global ramifications, because so many countries have become uncontrollably dependent on China. So the money is definitely there (as opposed to here.)
Elon is raining hellfire on anything close to him right now, it’s hard to look past him.
Now there are two of us.
I believe you to be correct. I think it's important that one uses the right tool for the job, regardless of whether or not it's widely adopted or supported.
Are you familiar with Rule 506(b) offerings? If so, then I don't understand why you'd ask the question; there seems like an obvious answer. If not, then perhaps there's just a gulf of understanding here that it will take a while to bridge, so it's unlikely this conversation will be useful to you.
> Wouldn't that conceptually be the right thing for the software to do, copy the human in front of it (

I see people failing to follow the rules for bad reasons far more often than for any good reason. I don't want my car driving off to the side of the lane just because the car in front isn't centred. It should assume the right thing to do is to follow the rules, and hand off to me in cases that are more complicated.
This is another part of infrastructure Europe generally does better: inner city public transport.

There are some European cities that are still car dominated, however quiet a few are easier to navigate via public transport and some have even gone as far as entirely banning private cars from the city centre.
> There isn't a single GPU vendor who does that currently

Nvidia technically? Of course Switch/Tegra is extremely outdated but they are developing a replacement.
Seems brilliant to me, as this is true marvel of engineering, contrary to electrocars which... well are not. They could've been should the engine be powered by fuelcells, but in their present form the electrocar movement took off only because of green deal, climate change, etc, which forced governments to allow business create the needed infrastructure of batteries and powerstations.

Besides, you'd be surprised at the amount of work geard towards hydrogen-based economy which is still about burning stuff to turn wheels (even when electricity is produced) as they did in 1890s...
Reading LWN I don't get the impression that the kernel is immune to "Your patch works and provides a feature some people might like, but I don’t like it, go away" -- even big corporate contributors sometimes wind up in year long efforts to try to get something they and others find useful upstream if the upstream maintainer is unconvinced about the worth of the feature or that it won't have net downsides for the codebase as a whole. The "extensible scheduler" is one prominent recent example.
It's simpler to assume several Chinese based business are pursuing profits and the consequences of this particular pursuit are seen as beneficial by bureaucrats so it's encouraged.

Capitalism requires no conspiracy. People will do anything to increase their wealth.
Yeah, I also think that asking someone to resign for this does not look like a proportionate response

They are owning up to their mistakes and making sure such things don't happen again (and increasing the amount from 2K :-)) seems like the right approach to me
The Ford Mustang Mach E is a compelling alternative to a Tesla.
> How does such an industry survive? In a very round about manner that has nothing to do with what they say they do.

can you clarify this statement? I just read this as "companies need to make money, creatives aren't focused on money".

> Don't focus on the drama a fucked up environment produces.

if you somehow found this politics/drama free work environment with no creative tensions whatsoever, congratulations I suppose. Most of us don't have that and are only one whim away from those "dramas" costing us our jobs, even if we keep our heads down.
I just took a look at your Shadertoy profile and I liked it a lot

I want to try my hand at writing such a general case continuous cellular automata engine, but I first need to dive into the literature around Lenia, and this is only one of the many things I want to try...

Anyway, thanks for sharing your work. I took a quick look at your write-up and will definitely come back to it later.
I quite like python's whitespace requirements, but notably it doesn't care what your stance is on tabs vs spaces, or how many spaces, so long as you're consistent in a block. Never liked yaml, though, I don't think it's better than any of the alternatives.
Mm.

I was rather hoping that this would at least attract the (stereotypically not interested in the environment) republicans, but apparently not.
Software sandboxing has a relatively good cost-to-benefit ratio at reducing the consequences of software bugs, which is why it's already implemented in a lot of software we all use every day. For example, it exists in Android apps, iOS apps, Flatpak apps (Linux), Firefox[1][2], Chromium browsers[3][4][5], SELinux-enabled distributions such as Fedora and Hardened Gentoo[6], OpenSSH (Linux)[7], postfix's multi-process architecture with use of ACLs, etc.

Kubernetes, Docker and systemd folk will be familiar with the idea of sandboxing for containers too, and they're able to do so using much higher level controls, e.g. turn on Kubernetes "Restricted pod security standard" for much stricter sandboxing defaults. Even if containerisation and daemon sandboxing aren't used, architects will understand the concept of sandboxing by just specifying more servers, each one ideally performing a separate job with the number of external interfaces minimised as much as possible. In all of these situations, the use of more granular controls such as detailed seccomp-bpf filters is most useful to mitigate the risks introduced by (ironically) security agent software that is typically installed alongside a database server daemon, web server daemon, etc within the same container.

Tweaking some Kubernetes, Docker or systemd config is _much_ cheaper and quicker to implement rather than waiting to rewrite software in a safer language such as Rust (a noble end goal). Even if software were rewritten in Rust, you'd _still_ want to implement some form of external sandboxing (e.g. systemd-nspawn applying seccomp-bpf filters based on some basic systemd service configuration) to mitigate supply chain attacks against Rust software which cause the software to perform functions it shouldn't be doing.

Twitter is just a relatively simple website, though. They aren’t doing anything particularly complex or innovative and aren’t releasing any new products.

It could survive for years in maintenance mode as long as people continue using it.
That’s for a lot of EVs and that’s not going to change until they’ve been around for a while and people realize the batteries are rock solid.
And they all answer to the same executive.
Elixir and Phoenix/Ecto is much superior to Rails IMO.

My main gripe with Rails are conventions everywhere which aren't documented clearly. You just have to know them/learn them over time/from guides. It makes refactoring really hard, too.
Depending on the team that walked, this may be a new opportunity. Sounds like this all happened because they worked pretty well without Ellis, but Ellis would come in every now and then and cause a tornado of everything when she did. There's a name for this kind of manager, but it eludes me.

Shame they lose the name, but the talent is what makes the company. And I'm sure any small dev will be following them closely on their next venture.
I think I can make this a bit more fun, maybe I should also do a little giveaway of a gift card or something to encourage people to sign up? Maybe something like $100 giftcard and a free month when paid usage launches?

The Chinese government can pay its scientists for papers that might not survive valid peer reviews all they want; up until this year anyways. They are utterly broke, and this won't last past this year.
In my PS script solution, I just added a clean option+command.

I rewrote my makefile in PS and don't miss anything from make and have no regrets, as it is simpler now.
Apache Struts is pretty much dead as in not many are using it.
Woah cool ! Thanks for the share
Phoenix, and it's not even close. I'm never going back to Rails.
A lot of it is just "being human", and you don't need separate college education for that.

Trouble is, too many doctors have internalized the ideal of being efficient robots instead.
So if you built your fortune on IT running in datacenters which consume magnitutes more energy to feed your customers; or else - if your business is about delivering stuff with 1000s of vehicles regularly being wasted... Tell me, at what point you start giving a damn about environment, and what pollution are we talking about at all?

Sorry, but HN is full of people who made fortunes not giving major fucks about lots of rules. Not being one of them, I still find it perfectly appropriate to see this article and appreciate it here precisely, and not on... CNN or DW.

You may go ask "Founder mode" whether he can dever be blamed into "not giving a damn", considering his caring character towards all humanity.

One thing I agree - nobody cares if a Porsche is putting a 0.00001 KG of CO2 out now and then, as its aesthetic value is much much higher.
Everything is superior to js, but js has the most important factor of low barrier of entry.
Make is great.

When even a simple one misbehaves, like it almost always does, I get to spend a solid chunk of time ignoring my actual goals to play with a bit of computing history.

And then I get to do it all over again a month later, when it breaks in yet another new way.
One thing is software development is not really focused on secure software. If Microsoft ca n manage to call recall a engineered product feature where those M$ folks get payed stacks to work on, can't even both securing the data in rest, and then decide its a great idea to use cloud computing for recall, then I can totally see "security software engineer" becoming a separate field.

Securing software seems to be hard especially in web development. You got to worry about regular development, then all these crazy different exploit methods like xss,SQL injection, data sanitation, etc....and then you got to get this site working for multiple browsers, you need to jugle all of this. And if an api or some 3rd party tool gets compromised how do you prevent that except a crystal ball a bottle of burbon and a clairvoyant chant?

Also their was iirc people submitting bogus CVE reports to increase the mental drain on people and overwhelm the human link which is always the weakest.
Calling Netflix a pivot is maybe wrong in my mind. It is same model in essence just done differently, renting content. From physical to digital which means lower overhead and you are just moving your own customers from one to other. Basically it is optimization of process not replacement.
No they want big trucks modded to blow extra smoke so they can own the libs.

People on twitter told Elon he was nuts the very first time he started toying with conservative ideas. Just jam that whole hand in your mouth and bite the wrist that feeds you. Great idea bud. He’s a fucking idiot for having not listened. Which any of his dozen children also could have told you.
Oh yes, I've personally used CuPy for great speed ups compared to Numpy in radar signal processing. Taking a code that took 30 seconds with NumPy down to 1 second with CuPy. The code basically performed a bunch of math on like 100 MB of data, so the PCIe bottleneck was not a big issue.

Also CuPy was first released in 2015, this post is just a reminder for people that such things exist.
I'd take php over python any day.

Everyone has their favorite python modules they like to use in scripts, half of them are not built or wrong version for whatever current distro I'm in, so I install stuff with pip, then something with requirements.txt breaks because of wrong pytorch version, I start reading about envs, much crying.

At least with bash or make nobody expects you to provide external modules/libraries
Replacing a consumable part, particularly a battery, should not be a complex repair requiring specialised tools.
digital sovereignty is turning out to be one of those national security priorities which nobody really thought about when it would really have made a difference.
nothing ever dies, but that doesn't say anything useful for most of us, building system that is practical today and continue to be PRACTICALLY maintainable for about 50 years.
Elon’s sacrifice and protection of free speech on the internet has motivated me to support him financially, not only by paying for x.com’s premium+ but I am currently waiting for the CyberTruck to become available in Europe. I admire Elon a lot, not just for purchasing Twitter, not just as business man, but for what he has achieved with SpaceX: successful where long time aeronautical companies like Boeing have failed.
Ha. Jazz a dim distant memory but methinks it's concept is ~20 later than the 4004. Just thought about emulating/writing SCSI on the 4004, might be easier to climb Everest.

Perhaps we need a competition, assembly programmers only need apply. :-)
Or they fixed a bug/loophole that allowed this software to function?
Does NAT port exhaustion not count as "materially affecting bandwidth"? At least, the maximum bandwidth is capped. Furthermore, the keepalive packets (required to maintain a port mapping) must cause the maximum useful bandwidth to be reduced, do they not?

Either way, expecting no effects on latency/bandwidth when additional processing is involved is a rather insane take. If anything, you should be the person presenting evidences to prove your position. Ideally, the cost effectiveness of whatever you present should be included too.

Anecdotally, I have experienced IPv4 slowdown due to CGNAT overload. Make of it what you will.
And if they got in the news for their connection to Tesla, they'd also be relevant.

Musk's greatest strength is his biggest weakness: being a showman who grabs most of the limelight was critical to getting enough people, buyers and investors, interested in electric cars before the charger network was there; now all that is working against him (and all his companies), especially in the absence of a dedicated PR team.
I would like to remind people of the 2016 Adups backdoor:

> According to Kryptowire, Adups engineers would have been able to collect data such as SMS messages, call logs, contact lists, geo-location data, IMSI and IMEI identifiers, and would have been able to forcibly install other apps or execute root commands on all devices.

ICE aren't going to go away any time soon. Battery tech has a long way to go before it can compete with the energy density of liquid dinosaurs, and if it did there are plenty of cases where ICE has major advantages over battery power. But even if say 90% of the vehicles on earth could be replaced with electric, should we really stop innovating on that last 10%?
I develop a lot in Rails mostly as a single developer and and it's totally ok. With CSS and JS you can pick the approach you like and just stick with it. Importmaps(which i don't prefer myself btw) are the current default but it's very easy to use the older Asset Pipeline without any problems.

And frankly importmaps or the other possible aproaches are not so hard to understand. Any serious developer should be able to learn that. It's also not a Rails thing, it's just web
Good. Other people, the majority of people being wrong, can be very profitable for those who are right.

I'm in no crusade to make people think like me. I am on a path of leveraging my knowledge.
Is this something you've blogged about or otherwise discussed in more detail?

My Tesla Model Y is the best thing I've ever bought. There's nothing else close on the market. The other options are really poor. Most other EVs are ugly, clunky and lame, have poor driver assistance features, charge slowly, or have other major drawbacks.

I know many people who have Tesla vehicles and think they are excellent products. However, Elon Musk's descent into mean, angry, offensive, lazy, factually incorrect and incoherent right-wing idiocy has made every one of us uncomfortable with continuing to support the company. Most of us are actively considering other, worse brands for our next car. Many people I know or have talked to won't even consider a Tesla now.

It's also no longer exciting to talk about the company or the products. It used to be exciting to talk about the future, electrification, technology. Now it's all mired in the muck of angry MAGA politics.

It's a real problem. I think Elon Musk is (was?) probably the best entrepreneur and businessperson since Steve Jobs, and his reputation has been permanently stained by his actions in the past couple years.

Unfortunately, I think the same brain thing - stubbornness, singlemindedness, grit - that made him able to build unusually incredible companies like Tesla and SpaceX are going to cause him to continue doubling down on his current self-destructive path.
No. As mentioned before, I have a precompiled binary. But you are right about security, so here is how to verify the SHA-256 hash of this file:

> Which any of his dozen children also could have told you.

Perhaps; certainly he would benefit from an anti-sycophant to tell him "no" and that he will listen to.
Any reason why that car in particular? It looks to me like there are lots of compelling alternatives right now (Korean, European, Chinese, …).
Electric cars still consume fossil fuels. It’s just earlier in the pipeline.

People love to talk about combustion engines being pollutants but few people talk about just how damaging it is mining for rare metals to make those batteries. Nor how harmful for the environment it is disposing of old batters (we haven’t yet solved the problem of recycling them either).

And that’s before you even touch on problems at the power grid. Eg many addresses don’t have high quality enough power infrastructure to cope with everyone switching to electric, so that would need to be upgraded. And a lot of countries still rely on fossil fuels to generate electricity to begin with.

Electric cars are likely the future. But they’re not as green as people like to think. In fact for some use cases they can actually work out both more expensive to run and less environmentally friendly once you total up their carbon footprint in full. And I think it’s going to be a long time before they become the greener option of everyone.

Whereas in the meantime, research into combustion engines can provide benefits for more than just petrol-fuelled sports cars.
A small amount of adhesive might be justifiable, but the amount used is excessive and seems there primarily to increase ‘repair friction’, in a rather dangerous way - actively increasing the chance of a battery fire when replacement attempts are made.
That might depend on what you value. I recently learned what it takes to open the door of a Tesla, in the case you crash and the doors lose power. Obviously there's an emergency door opener, but I wouldn't trust that my kid could find and use that on their own. That alone would keep me from buying a Tesla.

For me, Teslas have a number of what I consider design flaws, but which are sold as features.
When I was in there in Microsoft Research, our team was working on related efforts. But, yes, while pieces have shipped into products, MS never released a complete solution at the time.

I tried making fluid dynamics in a similar way right after making this, but I gave up as well. As far as I remember, I got stuck on managing non-miscible fluids (such as air and water) which introduces some edge cases where they meet.

It's pretty amazing how much they really like Elon (enough to put him on a billboard with Trump) but they'll still shit talk EVs and solar power with abandon.
