I’ve read many books, fiction and nonfiction, but the one that has truly changed me for the better in the long term, was “How to win friends and influence people”.

Its premise is extremely simple (simplistic even) and you can boil it down to “just listen to people”. But it did affect me - maybe because it finally made it “click” how humans work.

And further more, I did recommend it to my friends, and whoever managed to actually read it, changed too, sometimes literally overnight.

Honestly it was incredible to witness people who used to be jerks to transform into thoughtful and tolerant people right in front of my eyes.
Wigle.net: All the networks, found by everyone
A number of years ago I was internally referred to a role at one of the FAANGs. When speaking with the recruiter or hiring manager they seemed pretty confused at why I was even qualified. Eventually I asked them what address was written at the top of the resume they were looking at.

"Ah yes. You seem to have a copy of the resume I entered into your system fresh out of high school."
No one really uses standard C for systems programming, yet that always applies to other languages.

There is always Assembly, compiler extensions, or OS specific APIs, as part of the deliverable.

Right, but the end goal of the filter isn't just to have a list of passes and fails. The filter exists because OP doesn't want to associate with people who are overly ideological—one way or the other.

If someone silently puts OP in a bucket and never reaches out again, the end goal is still achieved.

As I said, the hypocrisy of the speech and perhaps the expectation that people will always swallow it (which sets a low bar for the opinion about those people) are what stands out, not that a country takes actions against an enemy. Atomic bombs were dropped in the name of peace, a minor phone app being banned can hardly be called "aggression".

There's a 50% chance come November 9th that my girlfriend and I have to have a very serious discussion about how we will protect her rights and literal safety, that we have to make serious sacrifices to go somewhere safer, including leaving family.

Ghana long been the example held up by reporting and exhibitions of the global e-waste problem (alongside Tanzania, and China). But one thing I've noticed in recent years' reports is a further twist: as countries' policies have started to shift (and their modernization/attitudes have grown perhaps), like in China for example, they are increasingly re-exporting the incoming e-waste further abroad to other Southeast Asian and African countries. The continued global migration of e-waste as it were. :/
Are there prison penalties for false claims? No? Huh. Weird.

i tried that. didnt work for me. im actually reading it now as an ebook. this means i can jump seamlessly back and forth between notes. i dont love this because i am definitely a dead tree type reader, but in this instance the ebook is the only solution. the physical copy sits on my bedside in case.

its a wonderful read but sometimes dfw just seems unecessarily hostile to the reader.

I just sampled my family and nobody could name an LLM that wasn't GPT. In this very small, obviously anecdotal scenario, GPT == LLM.

They seemed vaguely aware that there are other options; my wife asked if I meant Bing.

Yeah, there's no corruption, graft, or abuse of power in any place without capitalism.

Breaking rules definitely isn't an innate part of human nature at scale.

Edit: more seriously, it doesn't help that the laws are entirely subjective. You're not a monopoly until after the fact. Monopolistic behavior is sometimes rewarded, and sometimes punished. Look at court cases involving Apple and Google. The only real difference between them is scale. You're allowed to be big, up until someone decides that you're actually too big. It's only a question of "too big to fail" or "too big to exist".

We had a small router/firewall thing at a previous company that had a web interface, but for some reason its Content-Length header had an off-by-one error. IIRC Chrome handled this okay (once the connection was closed it would display the content) while Firefox would hang waiting for that one extra byte that never came.

Hey, I know it's frustrating when this happens. However, there are no comments on your post from yesterday. It's not helpful to point out an older, empty, and ignored post.
Indeed you have to look at the figures, no amount of wordage without computation will get you a true answer, still calling someone or something deplorable is, I am sorry, a dog-whistle.

So to clear the air I propose you look at this substantive set of answers:

> None? So you are a professional Colorist using Premiere and Lumetri? /s

Sorry, missed you included Resolve in there, although Resolve's actual market penetration in as an NLE (i.e., directly competing with Premiere) is hard to evaluate (it's obviously the market leader for color grading). Prosumers love it as an NLE though.

Your follow up comments put things in a different context and I wouldn't have replied the way I did if I had read them first. E.g., in the follow-ups you're stating you've managed to replace your workflow in these areas with these applications, which is great and useful information. But that's a different framing than the original comment I was responding to, e.g., "Creative Cloud products which can now be replaced:".

> So yeah, if a piece of software manages to cover my rent I consider it good enough.

My metric would be if people are choosing it for reasons other than price conscious or for values (i.e., it's better than the closed-source version because it's a better product not just inherently better for being open source). Not the easiest to evaluate, but that's what I'm looking for for evidence of the quality of these applications.

Maybe I'm also misunderstanding what you're trying to communicate, but it sure sounds to me like your motivations are exactly what they're trying to filter out of their life.

It depends how you use them. If your goal is learning and understanding, you will use LLMs much differently than if your goal is to produce copy-pastable code with as little effort as possible.

Honestly, I do a bit of both depending on the situation. Sometimes I just want a one-off script that does xyz and I don't really care enough to have a deep understanding of every detail. Other times I'm getting a crash course in some advanced concept and in an hour I have knowledge that previously only someone with years of experience in a niche domain (and a lot of patience for my dumb questions) could have given me.
It could (and ultimately I agree it's probably what they should), but that's not what people are seeing juniors do. They're seeing them blindly trust the AI tools and think they don't have to learn what they're doing. So they're building at best a fragle understanding of the code their writing.
Honestly, impressive work. Getting any language on bare metal is hard work.

I think what parent said is referring to stuff like

https://github.com/mbleigh/acts-as-taggable-on

It's not only that RoR comes with a complete toolset -- it allows you to create your own libraries that extend the capabilities of the framework while keeping the developer experience terse enough through metaprogramming (compare the sample code in the README with the file acts-as-taggable-on/lib/acts-as-taggable-on/taggable.rb, where you can see how the library is opening the classes in runtime through the class_eval technique.

I'm sure something similar can be achieved in C# but not so sure about the elegance of the result.

In a previous life, I might have been on who got along very well -- at least intellectually -- with those who loved Atlas Shrugged and swore by it as the bible of their lives. Now, with some age and wisdom, it's the exact opposite.

I myself wouldn't use a book as a filter for all things in social life... (for it generates way too many false positives), but I sheepishly admit to doing the same every now and then...

Did we read the same thread?

Kent sends commits last minute and his response is “they sat in my tree the last 2 weeks; nbd!”

Complains he has no idea what Linus is asking for…

He seems so overwhelmed a simple ask like “don’t let patches sit two weeks so you can personally noodle to your hearts content the git log” are missed.

Have seen similar from Kent on various kernel mailing threads I watch. Lots of deflection of his obligation to test more broadly, push sooner as he appeals to some big picture only he understands like he did here invoking acts over 20 years ago.

So what he’s working hard in his little btrfs bubble; what’s trickled down hill on others smells of bio waste
Very nice! Some suggestions:

- Display and filter by number of ingredients. My trainer said to avoid the powders filled with "crap". The more pure, the better (e.g. he was referring to unnecessary additives, sweeteners, etc.)

- You're using a single source website.. why not show the review star rating?

- Separate brand and product name into two separate fields.
I had N9 too. Probably my favourite phone of all times, I even published an app for it despite knowing it's a dead end platform.

It isnt uncommon for pig farmers to buy bulked spoiled or old food. I don't know how much that represents overall though.
1. this is really cool, i was looking for something like this last fall when i was choosing a recurring subscription for powder

2. I ended up buying a brand that was highly rated and includes some flavoring and vitamins. I love it! It actually tastes great (to me) too!

3. If I were to have found this site back then, I probably would not have chosen (2), because it is not the cheapest per protein molecule. But if I found a poor tasting or lethargy-inducing solution, I may have given up my journey.

So: cool, though caution that price per powder isn't everything!
YESssss

I feel like this has become one of the most taboo things to even wonder about out loud, because it drives a different part of the Venn diagram into a freaking rage. How dare you force me to consider that perhaps I am only slightly above average in a population of billions?

No, the law explicitly carves out limitations for heavy users that phone operators can (but don't have to) implement.

> Doesn't that mean sometimes you end up with 2 or 3 trains coming right after each other?

Kind of -- you definitely can have that happen, but probably never because Train #2 is way ahead of schedule, as it's nearly impossible for any American mass transit system's best case scenario to be any better than "on time". When a parade of trains all at once happens, it's more typical that, if trains are theoretically supposed to stop here at 11:10, 11:20, 11:30, and so on, train #1 would be arriving 29 minutes late at 11:39, followed by Train #2 22 minutes late at 11:42, and Train #3 running 14 minutes late at 11:44. For instance, due to "police activity" or worse, when someone dies by suicide on the tracks (pretty sure those delays are much longer than the above example in that case).
Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

The first 90% of this box is awesome (I think the last part is a little too hand wavy). However, it helps you understand so much of how people think, including you. I think it also explains much of how we shorthand so much of our "thinking". It implies a lot of how tribal humans are in our actions and beliefs which bleeds into religion and philosophy. There is no book I recommend more and the implications and understanding this highlights can be life transforming.
Pretend for a second that I'm in a setting where:

1. The whole system is dedicated to running my one program,
2. I want to use multi threading to share large amounts of state between workers because that's appropriate to my specific use case, and
3. A 2-8x speedup without having to re-write parts of the code in another language would be fan-freaking-tastic.

In other worse, I know what I'm doing, I've been doing this since the 90s, and I can imagine this improvement unlocking a whole lot of use cases that've been previously unviable.

Years ago I was working on a large Drupal site hosted on AWS with RDS MySQL and ElastiCache for caching. We noticed that ElastiCache was slower than we expected and switched the caching backend over to use the MySQL implementation in a simple KV table, and it was quite a bit faster than ElastiCache for most operations.

People really underestimate how good modern RDBMS are, especially when they have their query cache tuned properly, there's no reason to be slower than Memcache or Redis.

I asked Claude some questions about rails and I thought it was helping, but then I switched to working through the Blog example walkthrough on the rails website.

Understanding the "why" and all the default conventions really makes you get what's going on.

I guess my thought is, understanding an app is still important, and rails helps you understand easily.
No way. What you are describing is Gemini, but even more niche - a place which is explicitly walled-off from the "big net", which only nostalgic people with right technical skills and a desire to jump some hoops can get to.

This is not going to work - as time progresses, there will be less and less nostalgic people who are willing to put up with that complexity. And "non-commercial" part will ensure that there _never_ be an option to say: "I am tired of fixing my homeserver once again, I am going to put up my site to (github|sourceforge|$1 hosting) and forget about it".

Compare to early web. First thing that came to my mind was Bowden's Hobby Circuits site [0]. It's designed for advanced beginners - simple projects, nice explanations. And there are no hoops to jump through - I've personally sent the links to it to many people via forums, private emails, and so on. It apparently went down in 2023, but while it was still up, I remember regularly finding it from google searches and via links from other pages.

1Password is a reasonable example because they're a big player in the enterprise secrets management market, so your company might already have it available for you to use. They didn't get a $6.7 billion valuation by managing end-user passwords in a world where most people have a single password they use for everything.
Coming to a news aggregator website and asking the users if anyone got news is weird. There's also a lot of posts outside of your imaginary "AI eChO cHaMbEr", which you can see by browsing the site. But how would you make people know that you don't like AI? It's a tough dilemma.

I'm not a professional dev, but the code I have done at work is all Node.
