On a high level I agree with Mr Conway. “Orgs which design systems are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations.”

You will rarely see two release processes being exactly the same in two companies or amongst teams in the same company.

The release process is completely different if you deploy microservices vs frontend, mobile or SPAs.
Languages differ.
Artifacts too.

Some tribes gave dedicated QA teams, others enforce developers to pass a testing threshold level during CI. Some do nothing, just test in production.

Some promote the same artifact, others rebuild in every stage running slightly different end to end tests.

We have a pretty customized rollback mechanism these days to enable quick rollbacks because we use gitOps, which doesn’t support rollbacks (the rollback happens when you revert a commit). But there there is a process, a lock tag and couple of many small things that same to be from experience.

Monorepos vs multi-repos. So many decisions depend on that…

Without knowing the specifics is hard to help. What I can tell you is that “metrics are king”. Make sure you measure time and success rate for each part of the build, test and deployment process. Developers can be like spoiled kids at times but they are your “clients”, make sure really, really listen.

Good luck!
They can be pity like that if they want but they shouldnt be surprised if they cant scale their customer-base anymore at some point.

Twitter/X is fantastic for breaking news. For example during the first assassination attempt you would find new details on there that would then appear on MSM newscasts one to two hours later.

It also helps immensely to curate lists of interests to help filter out the noise and politics.
They were. Because although I wasn’t the one who came up with the core mathematics around those I was the one who solidified proofs, did the grunt work around the code and figured out interesting edge condition behavior.

Puberty blockers did not lead to mental health improvements, she said, most likely because the children were already doing well when the study began.
“They’re in really good shape when they come in, and they’re in really good shape after two years,” said Dr. Olson-Kennedy, who runs the country’s largest youth gender clinic at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.

Ok so there was no "improvement" because they were doing fine already. What's the problem here?
Possibly cumulative error in the timing source?

It's also comforting to remember not all managers are so short sighted. There is this purported quote from Henry Ford https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/6872338-henry-ford-s-reacti...

Henry Ford’s reaction to a consultant who questioned why he paid $50,000 a year to someone who spent most of his time with his feet on his desk. “Because a few years ago that man came up with something that saved me $2,000,000,” he replied. “And when he had that idea his feet were exactly where they are now.
This makes sense, but I think it's even a better reason to not use a code generator (which forces certain patterns on your code), but rather think about the best language-native way to express a certain concept you want to express.
Then evidently I am the all-time winner for unintentional hide-and-seek. :)

Sadly, the job market is saturated for remote work, and even 20 years of experience and a PhD isn't helping cut through it all.

Thank you for your response. I've never interacted with a recruiter before (never needed to), so I wasn't familiar with how they operate.
>No, please read carefully. I said if this continues and more money is diverted from public schools, this will be the case. This should be obvious - every dollar on vouchers is a dollar NOT in public schools. That's not a side effect by the way, that's the entire purpose of these developments.

Why cant public schools scale up and down, just like private schools?

>Because the public schools have no money now because you took it. That money doesn't fall from the sky.

Maybe I wasn't clear. the money follows the students in the form of vouchers. IF more kids want to go to public schools because private ones have become shitty, then the public schools will have more money.

>> let failing institutions fail

>Okay, so you agree with me. If we go down this path public education will fall. Once again this is the nature of this political movement, not a side effect.

It will at least shrink. If public schools get better and provide comparable student education, then they will survive. IF they cant, I wouldnt want them anyways.

>> If you think accreditation criteria are too lax for private schools, then that is a workable objection

>Sigh. No, no it's not. Because then you have a school that has accreditation and curriculum managed by the government that receives public funds. Um... you just described a public school. That will never happen because the very idea is at odds with the ideology behind it.

Public universities have accreditation requirements, that doesnt mean they are government institutions. It means they are regulated. Just like your doctor, butcher, or dentist are regulated but not government.

At the end of the day, what exactly are you worried about? If you and like minded people want to keep sending their kids to public schools they can do so. Is it more about controlling what other students and parents do?

When I have spoken with other people on this topic, their concern is generally the latter. They think that good students pull up bad students, and therefore it is acceptable for them to be dragged down by bad schools and bad students.

Especially important because most of his commentary focuses on the dominant social media paradigm of the time. Mastodon barely existed when this post went live, Mike Masnick was years from writing the paper that inspired Bluesky[0], and it would be strange if someone whose whole thing is getting away from social media kept up on new developments.

This post is an interesting historical artifact, but shouldn't be mistaken for contemporary commentary.

Wait, which raspberry pi are you talking about? Max performance on a rpi5 is closer to 20 watts technically, and a bit less than that usually because of thermals. But it's not 5 watts, at least nothing I've seen indicates that. The official rpi5 charger provides 5v5a, so 25 watts. And a lower power mode is used when a "standard" 15w charger is used.
I don't know how you can possibly say TikTok isn't social media. That seems like a rather absurd claim. What's your justification?

"way more" is 2 vs 4 ports (→5 for ≥alderlake); 1/cycle via shifts is probably good enough for most use-cases (though perhaps the more focused port pressure could be an issue with larger context).

And with hard-coded immediates xor+sub also ends up at twice the code size as shl+shr, so there's some trade-off. (but yeah if code size isn't a concern, xor+sub wins out)
He states:

> What the market values is the ability to produce things that are rare and are valuable.

> what the market dismisses are activities that are easy to replicate and produce a small amount of value. Well social media use is the epitome of an easy to replicate activity that does not produce a lot of value [...] by definition the market is not going to give those activieis a lot of value [...]."

Yet in the years since this TEDx talk we have seen the rise of influencer and streamer celebrities who have gained an immense amount of wealth and power.
Programmers (cs students, "engineers") are one of the most pompous group of people who think their ability to #include <stdio.h> gives them some special ability to speak about efficiency, physics, math (other than your run of the mill discrete or remedial linear algebra) or pretty much any other topic on the face of the Earth.

Don't worry about your active Facebook account. People who make it a point to signal otherwise are just people who have no one in their personal lives to connect with (e.g. nieces, nephews, family, friends). They are outliers not the rule.
Unfortunately, an aircraft has no “reboot”. It is just a violent power cut. A lot of headache is introduced in non-critical aircraft software because there is no “graceful shutdown” or long power duration. Infact, certain hardware has an upper limit(much lower than a week) before which it needs one power cut(sometimes called power cycle) or it suffers from various buffer overflow, counter overflow and starts acting mysterious.
The official Pi 5 NVME hat doesn’t work with the active cooler and doesn’t fit full sized SSDs. I think the Pimoroni NVMe Base is a better choice since it doesn’t have those issues.
I agree it is a US-centric take, but I disagree that the expansion of NATO is not principally about expanding American power.

John Bolton, in 1994, said about the UN:

“There is no such thing as the United Nations. There is an international community that occasionally can be led by the only real power left in the world and that is the United States when it suits our interest and we can get others to go along.'[1]

I think you could replace the UN with NATO and wouldn't lose much nuance. John Bolton, like Victoria Nuland and her husband Robert Kagan, have been determining foreign policy in American administrations for the last thirty years, from the collapse of the USSR to its resurgence as Putin's revanchist state. The published attitudes of Nuland, Kagan, and Bolton (not including hot mic moments like Nuland's "fuck the EU" tape) towards the EU, the UN, and NATO are almost, if not categorically hostile when it comes at the expense of American hegemony. It's also why the ICC has no real power in the West.

As far as Sweden and Finland go, yes, their flight into NATO's arms was catalyzed by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, yes, but this is also perfectly suited to the longterm geopolitical aims of the United States, whether it happened immediately, as it did, or if they were included in a future wave of NATO members. That's the nature of salami slicing tactics. You don't need to move fast, as your opponent doesn't have the capacity to ever stop you.

>Neither had any immediate plans to join before the war, but the bitter truth is that no neighbour of Russia is safe without an alliance providing a decisive military superiority.

I agree entirely! That bitter truth has been known to conservatives in the United States since 1945 and has been routinely mocked by unaligned Europeans and urbane liberals in the United States for decades, culminating in the peak irony in 2012 of Barack Obama making fun of Mitt Romney's claim that Russia was the biggest geopolitical threat to America's interest.[2]

As someone who smokes a small single digit number of cigars per year, I can attest that the nicotine buzz is incredible on the rare occasions that I do.

I've never been a regular smoker, but I bet that for someone who was, smoking a single cigarette every few months would be an almost religious experience. You'd be getting all of the sensory associations, plus the chemical stimulation unblunted by accumulated tolerance.

There Are No Efficient Markets in Politics
While looking into Acme several months back, I actually bumped into this; there just don't seem to be many editors that draw inspiration from Acme's workflow rather than borrowing from things like Vim, Emacs, or more traditional mouse-based GUI editors -- e.g., Notepad++, Sublime, Kate, VS Code, etc -- so Anvil popped up pretty much instantly while searching around for similar concepts.

However, as someone who hadn't, and unfortunately, still hasn't, spent a load of time using Acme, it wasn't super clear to me how they differentiate from each other. I wasn't totally sure whether it was more of a clone made for fun of it, or whether Anvil was trying to solve a genuine issue that Acme wasn't, or was trying to solve in its own distinct way, or perhaps trying to address a gripe with Acme itself, etc.

If anyone working on the project could highlight some of the differences in features and goals, or if anyone who has used one or the other long enough to notice some stuff at a glance, it'd be super helpful as an outsider to both. Superficially, I do see syntax highlighting, but I figure there's probably more going on than that.

Also, is there any sort of publicly accessible version control? I see the source archives, but I couldn't find any sort of mention of git or any other vcs.

FWIW, by the way, I hope asking about a comparison doesn't come across as some sort of dismissive, "what's the point", comment; it was just cool and interesting enough that this isn't the first time I've wanted to ask.
It may have been? It's a much more complicated story. Consoles haven't decreased, but they have notably stagnated for the past decade in terms of sales. Gaming overall only goes up because the mobile market surged to parity with consoles (in terms of revenue) over the 2010's.

But I doubt that was due to phones. It's more factors like set top boxes, "smart" TV's with built in streaming apps and casting, and the decline of the need for DVD/blu-ray players.

I remember the days of the PS3 where many bought it simply because it was the cheapest Blu-ray player (which is saying something, given its slow adoption rate and infamous "599 USD" reputation), but consoles as a multimedia device has definitely fallen off. It's also infamously one of the worst market reads in the industry when Xbox One decided in 2013 to advertise as a set top box on its reveal over a gaming console.

But unlike handhelds, that lost "non-gaming" market did get made up for with a growing market of dedicated gamers (indicated by games continuing to sell increasing numbers of copies). So it simply evened out instead of trending downwards.
It's another thing on a checklist that can go wrong.
This tool can convert to JSON Schema, so it can be used with validator libraries. Either way, validation and static duck typing based on schema are two separate concerns, and the latter is impossible without something like a Typescript compiler (or checker if using jsdoc-style Typescript).

3B models are perfectly capable, I've had great luck with Phi 3.5.

> For example, they seem to not care about instructions to only write a response and no explanation

You need to use tools to force the model to adhere to a schema. Or you can learn to parse out the part of the response you want, both work.

You'll also need to make good use of robust examples in your initial prompt, and give lots of examples of how you want the output to look. (Yes this quickly burns up the limited context length!)

Finally, embrace the fact that these models are tuned for chat, so the more conversational you make the back and forth the less you are stretching the models abilities.

Not in the information age. This cascade just corresponds to how much data and processing power is needed for each.

Cigarettes haven't been the same (in the US) for well over a decade now, since all 50 States and DC require them to be "fire safe" cigarettes (FSC).

Compared to the cigarettes of yore, these taste like fried dick cancer.

But old tobacco doesn't always age well. It can survive for centuries if stored at the appropriate temperature and humidity and away from things that would impact the taste, or it can turn stale and fairly blah in weeks or months when stored poorly.

Unifil has been there since the '70s, apparently. Their role was to monitor Israel's withdrawal and to assist the Lebanese government, to patrol the Blue Line and various humanitarian tasks.

Also, you don't get to shoot through human shields. It's still immoral to kill noncombatants, just as it's immoral to hide behind noncombatants. You don't gain moral high ground, you're just sinking to the level of the enemy.
I agree entirely. I've been actively using the internet for roughly as long as you, and I find a great deal of it highly discouraging, depressing, and frightening. There's always been a dark side, even in the ARPANET days, but the percentage of it that's horrible has been growing steadily over the years.

It's become so bad that I've severely limited my use of the internet anymore. Too much of it actively makes my life worse. Avoiding it has improved things quite a lot. Lately, I've been thinking that I may even need to stop hanging out here on HN, which is the only "social media" I use anymore.

The reason to require legal cases meeting process is what helps every day people not get railroaded by zealous police and prosecutors. Arguing to weaken this requirement would have far reaching bad consequences for society.

And, if a judge does rule that this change did not follow the law, then no matter how much you like it, it's far better that legal requirements get met than to weaken them over something like this.
Doesn't the rebased commits example take longer to put together than the merge commits example (where you'd likely want to just squash the merge commits)?

The merge version looks like the way code is actually written in practice to me, so doesn't the rebased version take extra time to create after you're done adding code? E.g. the "Add use case baz" rebase commit isn't likely to be a simple squashing of commits from the merge version, but cherrypicking specific lines from multiple commits.

I fully agree the rebased version is nicer, but I'm not seeing anyone talk about how much extra time it takes. Or you're doing it in a way that doesn't take much time somehow?
