well, okay, then we can say that a lot of people diagnosed with schizophrenia now, even if the concept of schizophrenia is not viable, do have biological disease(s) that cause psychosis alongside what we now call the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. I'm fine with that claim.

it's very different than the common anti-psychiatry claim that the schizophrenia diagnosis is a social construction that gets applied to healthy people who violate social norms.
It's more code, more bloat, more complexity, and more attack surface area.

I am working on Buckaroo[1] - the data table for jupyter/dataframes that I have always wanted. Buckaroo combines a performant table capable of scrolling through 1000s of rows, with summary stats and histograms. All configurable and extensible by users. never type df.head() again. give it a try, I'm eager to hear feedback.

Recently I have been working on the low-code UI. I find myself looking up and typing the same pandas (and polars) incantations over and over again to explore and modify data. The low-code UI allows simple transforms of data (search, remove column outliers, show only outliers of a column, group by) to be perfromed with just clicks. You can also view the generated python code. This is powered by a json-flavored lisp interpreter, but users never have to type lisp code.

> What if the workers are opposing automation?

The union is demanding “a total ban on the automation of cranes, gates and moving containers in the loading and unloading of freight” [1].

That said! They are negotiating. This is their opening ask. If they stick to it, fuck them. But maybe they can permit modernisation alongside a pay raise.

Lately I've been working on GitGuard (https://gitguard.dev/) which is a flexible way to write approval rules / workflows for your GitHub PRs. Think GitHub's branch protections but with the power of a toy programming language.

Also my long-term project (4 years or so) has been CodeApprove (https://codeapprove.com/) which is a much better code review UI for teams on GitHub.

So, yeah, I am pretty into making GitHub better for teams!

The first mover advantage isn't as big an advantage as being the one to monopolize a commodity. While there are some historical advantages to first mover's doing this, it is the common case. I also think that is very nearly a winner take all sort of thing, or at least a very API providers will still matters, if this asymptotes.

Compare this to toilet paper or fuel, if AI asymptotes and everyone catches up in 6 months it will be be just like these. There are some minor differences in quality, but if a customer can buy something good enough to keep their ass clean or their car powered then they will tend to pick the cheapest option.

Sometimes it is subterfuge like ms stealing the OS market from IBM or there might be a state sponsored AI lab like so many state run industries pushing out competition, but there are a ton of ways to beat first movers.
I’m not quite sure what the roadmap looks like for gocomponents but it looks similar but I think it’s only filling one part of the puzzle. My plan for htmgo is to become essentially a ready to use framework for building your whole app, using very fast/lean modules, similar to Ruby on Rails, especially rails 8, and not just an HTML builder
It can easily be a huge waste of time while still feeling like it's enriching. And even if it is enriching, if it gets in the way of other stuff you really need to to be doing, then it's a problem.
Workers have a right to oppose automation and strike over it if they so choose.
It sure seems that way. Sad. It's not just hubris nor inexperience -- it's cognitive load. It's often easier to wing something that later grows a lot than it is to go find a suitable technology that already exists.

> Workers have a right to oppose automation and strike over it if they so choose

Workers have a right to strike. But there should be room, at the same port, for trying a more-efficient approach.

The management of this unionised workforce shouldn’t have a choice. But this union’s members shouldn’t have dictatorial power over our Eastern seaboard’s port infrastructure.

(Also, I have the right to demand a personal battleship. Not everything one has the right to do is reasonable.)
i think we would agree a lot about the brutality and incompetence of the current system of psychiatric institutions.

however, the reality is, psychosis frequently prevents people from recognizing their own impairment. it's just true that this is very common, and maybe shouldn't be so surprising, since in many other cases (alcohol, drugs, dementia, brain injury) people also are prone to underestimate how impaired they are.
This is a taste question, and all of my bias problems derive to a way of spending my time.

They’re easily led to possessions, beliefs, habits, occupations and diversions that others would find empty.

I'm still trying to figure out what the issue is.

It sounds like MS is making a better cpptools/C++ extension mouse trap and it's impossible to build a fully OSS version because many of the MS components are closed? And when a user discovers he/she can't use their native extensions from any web interface, this is a problem for the web interface guys? I have to ask -- if people want to use this freeware instead of OSS software, it might be disappointing, but is that really a problem?

If there is an answer, it would seem to be more information about who is to blame. Perhaps open source vendors should be more clear that their offerings are also open source and open ecosystem? Perhaps that would tip off devs that not every extension is, that is -- the MS alternative extension is not.

One could even be more forceful:

"Certain alternatives, like vscode-cpptools, are NOT licensed under an OSI approved license. vscode-cpptools contains many unexamined binary blob components. Developers of blah blah blah C++ extension strongly believe in an open ecosystem for VSCode extensions, but MS has also refused to allow redistribution of vscode-cpptools, if used by native open source builds or by those offering VSCode via web services. Developers of blah blah blah believe, whether the code is closed or open source, ALL VSCode extensions should be freely redistributable for the good of the broader VSCode extension ecosystem."

If major extension projects are aligned, they could simply add a notice like above to their description on their marketplace page? Trust me, legally, culturally, MS really, really doesn't want to deny access to its marketplace, because a few OSS projects wanted to offer a comparison of their license terms to those of MS.

Apple is currently dealing with a marketplace lawsuit. MS doesn't want a marketplace or another antitrust suit.

The cost of shipping contributes to the cost of every product we export and import. Treating this as a purely zero-sum transfer between longshoreman and shippers is ignoring all the reasons this is interesting & important.

As a hypothetical example, if there was some new method of transport that bypassed ports entirely at 1/10th the cost, would you support an effort to scuttle it to support longshoreman?

This same issue played out with the introduction of the shipping container; if history had played out differently and we were still manually packing ships I don't think you'd choose that world over what we have today.
I would really like the cost of CO2 emission to start to tend towards the true cost of capture and storage of CO2. At the moment that price is heavy and I think that should be the goal and any fines for organisations that breach emissions laws should be set on that basis. It might never come down but I hope it does but in the meantime that is the price of emissions.

FWIW, I LOVE bundler and it absolutely kills me that npm, pip still haven't settled well in to the management of it.

Specifically, bundler allows side-by-side version installs and the program simply loads the version specified in the bundle.lock thus making the lock file the source of truth where as npm, pip, even poetry install whatever version exists at the path. This pushes the source of truth from the .lock to that path.

It's not the end of the world, but when you're testing library versions side-by-side you can easily get confused whether you remembered to run `install` between the switches.
any group of workers should be able to do this.
Maybe. I'm paranoid about the unintended cost of improvements, but it's not an absolute position.
Its a (well known in climate science) impact that the temperature over land is about double that of the average warming. The other effect is that the warming isn't evenly spread across the world so some places are gaining temperature considerably faster than others.
The WordPress Interview (We were both wrong) [video]
I doubt they would share their data, but do consider that the average tenure at Amazon is around 2 years and that they disproportionately hire a lot of recent graduates. We do know that junior staff are mostly negatively impacted by wfh, so it’s a small step to seeing they need to bring the seniors back to mentor the juniors.
That won’t explain the prevalence of RTO. Most CEOs are not involved in CRE and being involved with renting out your office space to your own company is a conflict of interest.

The simplest and most likely explanation is that they think it’s better.
> how it would be "better for everyone else." 100% automation of cranes means lost jobs

There is a reason it’s faster, simpler and cheaper to ship stuff via air versus ports in cases where it seems to not make sense. (I recently dealt with this in olive oil and glassware.) The idea that we can run inefficient ports so someone can manually pilot a crane without any cost is ridiculous.
JSON isn't simple. It's simplistic. It's too simple. By refusing to acknowledge the complexity of the real world at the protocol layer, varlink shifts the burden of dealing with the complexity from one transport layer to N ad hoc application layers, making us all worse off.
Sure they have the right. But the bigger question is - is it a net benefit for society to do so?

That's actually a really good point. I've never looked into that, I just took it for granted that to get a line break on HN you need two consecutive newline chars.

Data format is absolutely important for operating system IPC. JSON is raw text. Messages occupy more RAM than a binary format, which increases your working set, and it requires at least some nontrivial parsing. This ultimately limits the number of messages you can send per second.
I'm using ag-grid for my project too. I did a bunch of work to make configuring it more declarative... so you can have pinned rows that read from a different data source for summary stats, so you can specify custom renderers for each column. how have you found ag-grid to use?

For the record: this happens because text encoding problems was solved by broad adoption of not Unicode but by localized Windows 9x. Windows NT and apps on it to this day uses whichever encoding used by equivalent ancient regional versions of Windows 95 for language/region it booted in, e.g. cp1252/ISO-8859-1 for American English and cp932/Shift_JIS for Japanese.

True unification into Unicode only happened during the mobile shift in the form of iOS/Android.
I was using DeepSeek Coder and Claude for verilog quite successfully back in June - saved me a lot of time creating testbenches. Probably better now. I need to try the latest Gemini 1.5 pro to see how it does. I used DeepSeek Coder to create a testbench for some legacy verilog code that was poorly documented - it did quite well, better than I was expecting. It even collected repeated code into tasks which kind of surprised me.
And the rest of society has a right to bypass and work around them.
> Labor is the source of all wealth and all culture

Of course it isn’t. To make this construct work in the modern world requires amortising past labour across future automation in a way that almost deifies the first work.
Someone emailed and suggested it. I looked at the pdf and it seemed to be more substantive than the usual political statement, so I sort of trusted that it would be better. Also it's not paywalled.

Absolutely, this is not just a random tangential comment! With a bit of searching, any time criticism of VSCode comes up, it's shrugged off with "it's OSS!". Even from people who use Linux, a substantial proportion of programmers bring out the OSS card to deflect criticism of these exploitative practices.

(Example here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmasterrace/comments/v3n8w4/wou... but this sentiment is really ubiquitous)

This sounds like it wants to be a fundamental IPC facility in Linux, which seems like a major thing.

Any binary format can be dumped to a text when viewed for debugging. That’s really a nonissue. Have the tools dump to JSON if you like.
That just sounds painful if you work on large projects.
You also have vscode. What you don’t have is the various proprietary extensions msft makes to vscode, just as you don’t have every proprietary extension anyone has ever made to those listed platforms.

I am working on a new Computer Algebra System (CAS) tool, which is a programming language focused on math called Openbirch https://gitlab.com/Sveske-Juice/openbirch.

It will probably be licensed with some open source license like GPL or MIT. Right now there really isn't much functionality, but i hope that it someday will be as good as other existing CAS tools like Maple and WolframAlpha.

The main motivation for this project besides from learning, is that there really isn't any modern open source alternatives to the leading CAS tools (at least that i know of).
I know that's what those are supposed to mean, but that's not how the average poster on social media seems to use it.

Like with my example of the SpaceX landing failure, it was a booster that had flown over 20 times, had flown a trajectory at the edge of its performance, the leading theory (IIRC) was/is that some components on the legs finally wore out too much. Testing these limits has been one of the side-benefits of Starlink launches on used boosters.

So, seeing a bunch of people stupidly freaking out about this being due to DEI just shows that they don't actually know what "DEI hiring" is as a complaint.
https://www.parentcontrols.win/

An AI parent filter, which can remove and modify page content in real time. It's designed for kids using their first computer, and is fully launched (although only available on Windows right now).

Admittedly we're looking for seed funding and may not stay open forever, but the tech itself is really cool, and we get really strong positive reactions from parents once they learn you can use this to filter out quasi-political content in addition to adult/graphic content. We're entering an age where all content can be modified in real time, and I think Parent Controls Win still has a lot of potential.
“to make back their profits” - is electricity / energy generation usually all owned by for-profit companies and not at all by government/public? Is it any different in USA vs other countries?

I feel that energy generation (key component if we want to grow as a species) should be helped/sponsored by governments and not really expected to turn any profit.
I'd think about the role as a role. Is there a job description? If so, what are the specific responsibilities. What would you pay for the role - comp it to market and company hiring practices. Then, determine if you need the role. Then, open the req and recruit for the role / encourage her to apply. Then, put her through the same interview process as everyone else.

You have to treat your business as a business. If you need the role, are paying a fair rate (salary, bonus, equity) and she's the best candidate, hire her. Then, you have a process that you can be transparent about and is fair.

Don't be bullied into something like this - it could be the beginning of the end.
