I agree.

I replaced SO with cGPT and it’s the only good case I found. Finding an answer I build onto. But outsourcing my reflexion ? That’s a dangerous path. I tried on small projects to do that, building a project from scratch with cursor just to test it. Sometimes it’s right on spot but in many instances it misses completely some cases and edge cases. Impossible to trust blindly. And if I do so and not take proper time to read and think about the code the consequences pile up and make me waste time in the long run because it’s prompt over prompt over prompt to refine it and sometimes it’s not exactly right. That messes up my thinking and I prefer to do it myself and use it as a documentation on steroids. I never used google and SO again for docs. I have the feeling that relying on it to much to write even small blocs of code will make us loose some abilities in the long run and I don’t think that’s a good thing. Will companies allow us to use AI in code interviews for boilerplate ?
Why would working men of the world uniting be a disaster for my ETF? Don't the working men need machines and capital to work?

> If you have $20M and your lifestyle requires no more than $800K/yr of income taxed a waaaaay lower rates than the working stiffs pay on the same, then a 4% return more than suffices to live off of income that is waaaaay more passive than most passive income frauds even come close to promising.

Assuming you are in eg the US than a 4% nominal return is actually taxed quite severely in real terms, ie after you adjust for inflation.

That's because capital gains taxes and taxes on interest don't account for inflation.
Dire wolves were real–and even stranger than we thought
This is an insulting piece. It's a poor hitjob by someone who doesn't really know what is going on, which is extra unfortunate because Swift has a bunch of problems. Some of them are actually adjacent to the claims here! But this is just unsubstantiative flamebait.

Swift is controlled by Apple, Inc. Nobody worth listening to is denying that. The steering committee is almost all Apple employees, most of the commits going in come from people who commute to Cupertino, and whatever the progress is on Windows or Arduino or whatever, it's clear that "first class" really means iOS. That's all true. Apple makes proposals, they seek some community input, and in the end they pick what they like and it ends up in the language.

But even with that said, the rest of this post is of low quality. Tim Cook and his MBA buddies didn't personally come in to ruin the language because the shareholders aren't making money. Chris Lattner is, whatever his contributions to the language previously, just a guy. He would probably try to put Swift on GPUs today if he had his way. It's not the first time he sold it out before. You've got to go beyond "omgz so many keywords so complicated!!1!!" and look deeply at the real sources of complexity. Swift has a powerful generics system that has worst-case behavior that really sucks. The discussion process has a bunch of busybodies that have nothing better to do than talk about names of things. Yes. These are real problems. It's funny when there are random hacks in the source code to support things that Apple is shipping. But that is how a large project works. You are more than welcome to laugh about it on Twitter but substantive criticism it is not. Which is a shame, because there is plenty of it go around.
Always, always, dogfood what you produce. The number one way devs cease making products people care to use is by not using what they make.

At least for android apps, it's best to first rate 5 stars, then the lower score in Play store, as those pop-ups usually only redirect to play store for high ratings, to inflate their rank.
And an often under appreciated tenet of security — even a “good” software can be exposed to “bad” data, and you only need a bug (especially a memory bug, which is exceedingly common because linux userspace can’t get rid of c for the life of it) to have arbitrary code executed.

Like, your pdf reader is surely not evil, but do you trust every single pdf file you open?
This is just mechanistic speculation based on animal studies. There is no good evidence that I’m aware of showing harms from high n6 consumption in humans, outside of their contribution to caloric excess.

The n3:n6 ratio was a hypothesis that never panned out. If you look at the studies that “support” it, the “bad ratio” is brought about by reducing n3 levels below sufficiency, not by keeping n3 levels at the RDA or higher and then boosting n6 further.

So it’s no more evidence that n6 is harmful than taking a cohort of people, reducing half of the group’s iron intake to a minuscule amount and claiming that because that group’s “iron:magnesium” ratio is wrong, then consuming more magnesium is clearly harmful. It just doesn’t add up.
I tried that in Geometry for Programmers https://www.manning.com/books/geometry-for-programmers

I needed a short chapter on calculus so I go on and explain Bezier curves and splines, but I couldn't afford a full introduction. So, I only explained how differentiation works and gave a few examples. The rest was delegated to SymPy.

Funny thing. There are errors in differentiation formulas in the final edition of the book. Some final edits went wrong or something. Anyway, so far, we had exactly 1 (one) complaint about that.

Apparently, programmers don't care about formulas if the code is already there.

"cupertino" is the name of a Flutter widget set, not of the native platform controls or L&F.

Few Flutter apps are going to use cupertino because the whole goal of using Flutter is to create cross platform codebases to save development effort. To use an alternative widget set per platform is a huge amount of additional work, and having a cupertino app running on Android is even more of a sore thumb than a material app on iOS.
Swift has the same problem, FWIW.

It is not bad interpretation, it is accurate interpretation. Hyperbole is valid thing if you are not trying to use to to sneak in false facts.

In this case, it was attempt to sneak in lies.
There's also the very real risk of bigger than expected inflation.

They queried that info based on a specific implementation of a framework. If that framework is implemented under Wayland, then through the Wayland APIs it will only get rudimentary info on mouse position (e.g. only when it’s in focus and the mouse is over it).
Oh I totally should have mentioned, I went from two 24"@ 1080p each to a single 34" at QHD as they call it. So a significant real-estate increase was required to manage one monitor.

I don't use it like two monitors in one. Usually my code editor is two thirds of the screen wide, application I am testing is one third,then terminal windows are across the whole bottom of the screen at about a quarter of the bottom of the screen.

So you are right you do tend to need those things in easy view, and I have achieved that but slightly differently to a multi-monitor setup.
Once Smalltalk was released into the wild by Xerox PARC, several companies tried to commercialize it, including IBM. The problem was that developers needed expensive workstations to develop and deployment required pricey run-time-environments and yet, the source code was difficult to hide from the users.

Then the IBM PC and Apple Macintosh were released. Both were cheaper than the workstations and the Mac even had the cool look of the Smalltalk desktop. For non-purists the new options were far more appealing even if they fell way short of the Smalltalk-80 environment's benefits.
Do they really solve the hard problems though? For me, the LLMs solve the low level problems. Usually I need to figure out an algorithm, which is the actual problem, and finally give some pseudo code to the LLM and surrounding code so it can generate a solution that looks idiomatic.

In some cases, LLMs act as a stackoverflow replacement for me, like „sort this with bubble sort, by property X“. I’d also ask it to write some test cases around that. I won’t import a bubble sort library just for this, but I also don’t want to spend any more time than necessary, implementing this for the nth time.
The updater and Safari would use the same TLS/SSL library (which would only support older, no longer secure TLS ciphers and would have the same root certificates, some of which would be expired). If you put a recent version of Firefox or Chrome on (via a USB drive), they bundle their own TLS libraries and certificates so those would work.

(But in the same way the OS ones weren't working, you wouldn't be able to use a 12 year old version of Firefox or Chrome to access most websites either for the same reasons).
If you’re discounting a rigorous and well-referenced critique solely because it’s on a “spamtaculous” cite, then my intuition is that either you’re a motivated reasoner and nothing would push you off your position, or your epistemic framework for deciding what is credible and what isn’t is so wild that trying to discuss this issue with you would be like trying to teach French to a dolphin.

Just read the critique, ignore whatever “spamtaculous” things you’re seeing on the site. The content of the review is what we should care about. Happy to discuss that.

Oh my, oh my... How have I done this all these years before "AI" was a th- hype?

I did it without wasting even a fraction of the CO2 needed for these toys.

"AI" has some usecases, granted. But selling it as the holy grail and again sh•tting on the environment is getting more and more ridiculous by the day.

Humanity, even the smarter part, truly deserves what is coming.

The SQL migrations are when running in-place, hard to reverse changes, where production is the only realistic env.

I wish there was a better way to run blue/green DB deployments. Though this feature is rare (e.g. gh-ost) and not that usable at less than bug tech scale.
Have you had a go with the o1 range of models?
No, the reason this doesn't work for Rust (and even more so Swift) is that they need to call code that is not annotated. In Go the runtime knows what blocks and what doesn't, and this lets it effectively manage its thread pool based on the state of every goroutine. If you call outside of your runtime, you lose guarantees about what that code might do: it could block indefinitely or deadlock some other code in your program. Solving this is a pretty hard problem, which is why the solutions these languages have designed are limited. (Again: Swift ships with its own runtime; there is a default "executor". It doesn't actually solve this problem for the reasons I described.)
Restaurants and bars especially in my city love tax evasion - that's why they are so enthusiastic about cash payments.

Money Stuff is a weathervane and a lightning rod. Things show up in Matt's writing sometimes months before they make a splash in the rest of the world.

I work adjacent to finance, but I'd read Money Stuff even without that link. It's a good way to keep myself up to date on happenings in and around finance, and of course, the newsletter is often funny. I don't expect to ever make money from my reading activity, but I have found that being well informed of weird and/or interesting developments within that world makes me more valuable at work.

Being able to predict what kinds of compliance and governance related curveballs may be coming, a few months before they land on our desks? Surprisingly valuable.

Nobody uses Slack outside of tech. They are virtually unknown in Europe.

Let's look at numbers.

Hetzner sells vCPUs with 4GB of RAM for less than 5$/month, and 8GB of RAM for less than $10/month.

https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/

In my example, the cost of having garbage collection generation 0 events triggering twice a year would be an extra $5. If I wanted the frequency of these events to double, in theory I would save perhaps $2/month.

If I ran a web-scale service with 10 times the nodes as-is, we're talking about a $50/month price tag difference.

How much does a company charge for an engineer's hourly labor? How many years would it take to recover the cost of having an engineer tune a service's garbage collection strategy?

People need to thing things through before discussing technical merits.
But what’s the limiting factor of doing the sane and safe thing by default?

The most popular operating systems all do that (ios and android), and they have carved out safe APIs for all of that to work. You can’t patch up a Swiss cheese after the fact.

Is it hard to create standard APIs in a bazaar style of development? Yeah. But that doesn’t mean that it’s not the correct approach.
I love the Wandering Inn but calling it “a bit longish” is quite an understatement.
Depending on your implementation it is very possible to schedule interrupt handlers into a concurrent runtime. You'd have to be exceptionally careful about how it was designed with regards to, like, reentrancy, but Rust is quite good at encoding these kinds of things.
The Search for Room-Temperature Superconductivity Is Continuing
Watching the videos in the article, the constantly changing suggested completions seem really distracting.

Personally, I find this kind of workflow totally counter-productive. My own programming workflow is ~90% mental work / doing sketches with pen & paper, and ~10% writing the code. When I do sit down to write the code, I know already what I want to write, don't need suggestions.
Well yes, that's (I believe) the reason English actually works as an international language, despite being horrible in so many respects (pronunciation, tons of exceptions, etc etc): It also has so much redundancy that even if you get all the grammar wrong the meaning is still there. "I is strongs". When someone knows a tiny bit of English it's often easier to communicate in English than in that person's language, even if you're studying said language. Unfortunately, kind of, but that's how it is.
The Emerging Age of AI Diplomacy: To Compete with China US Must Walk Tightrope
NYC stopped being the city that never sleeps a decade ago. That tagline is just hype at this point. Even if it was true, who cares about being able to take the subway at 3am? For the vast majority of citizens, this is a useless feature. I’d much rather have a clean efficient subway system that opens at 5 and closes at midnight.

All of these points are the same tired talking points brought up anytime anyone criticizes something about NYC. It’s one reason I got tired of living there - for as big and diverse of a city as it is, it’s actually quite an insular, close-minded place that doesn’t like to be criticized. There is always a reason why something cannot be improved, and you’ve hit most of the items on the checklist here. Personally I find the S-Bahn system easier to use and more extensive than the NY system, but YMMV.

Otherwise, this kind of conversation with a dozen footnotes is so tiresome. Yes, NYC has a good transit system. Yes, NYC is a big city, bigger than most cities in Europe. The original point of my comment was that no one in New York really cares about making it cleaner or nicer unless there is some financial justification for doing so. You’ve done nothing but prove my point here with your responses. The Bay Area is a similar situation: immense wealth in the area, and yet the quality of public spaces and infrastructure doesn’t reflect it. If you didn’t know better, you’d never guess that so much wealth is concentrated there.

And then if you compare NYC to Tokyo, and suddenly all of those justifications disappear, because Tokyo is both larger and busier yet manages to have a nicer cleaner system.

Which brings me to my original point, and the end of this sub conversation: culture is different in different places. Money has a centrality in American culture that it doesn’t have in Japan or Europe.
> And meeting with Trump people about Blue Origin.

Blue Origin executives briefly met with Trump on the same day the non-endorsement was announced. But was that some kind of quid pro quo or was it just a coincidence? Did they or Trump know about WaPo’s non-endorsement at the time they arranged the meeting? Did it factor into either side’s decision to meet?

Blue Origin and WaPo are completely separate businesses with a common owner. I wouldn’t expect them to coordinate with each other, with rare exceptions-the most likely exception would be logistical issues with their common owner’s schedule/transportation/security/etc. I doubt Blue executives knew about the WaPo announcement beforehand, and if they’d already planned to meet with Trump that day, why would they have thought it a reason to change their plans? They’ve probably met with Harris too, or at least would like to if she is willing. It is in their best interest to hedge their bets to maximise the odds of a positive relationship with the White House no matter who wins.

That would only prop up assets prices in nominal terms, but doesn't have much to do with your retirement planning.

Hi Norway, The Netherlands here. I feel you ;-)
Sure. Please name some fronted frameworks that provide a pleasurable experience to both developers and end-users.

For the developers it should be easy to learn, it should be stable without lots of changes, backward compatible with no breaking changes from version to version, have very good tooling, have very good package management, have a default way to accomplish things, have batteries included, be easy to debug and deploy.

For users it should be at least fast, responsive, have minimal to no latency, easy to interact with, easy on the eyes, have a coherent design language, be ergonomic, not be a memory or CPU hog.
True, but vast majority of websites don't do the right thing. So password managers need to manage a database of form input overrides. I worked at a small company building a password manager and it was a bit of a nightmare, we had to allocate support staff resources to handling reports of website incompatibilities.
The opposite, actually. Swift (Concurrency) doesn't really have a good way to do the kind of thing spawn_blocking does. (Though, some would argue that the very design of spawn_blocking is not good to begin with.)

Python's standard library rarely changes except deprecating features or new additions.

Underneath - POSIX + handful of Windows APIs for porting it to Windows. Cross platform aspect is mostly for the compilers to produce the binaries.

Flutter is not Python, PHP or Whatsapp. It has to emulate UI of six platforms (Web, Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, iOS) with easily 50+ widgets.

Flutter unfortunately is not comparable to a language interpreter. The surface area is altogether different.
Kinesis supports buffering - up to 900 seconds or 128mb. So you are way out on your cost estimations. Over time queries can start costing more due to S3 Requests, but regular spark runs to combine small files solves that.

I know a number of poor US families (on food stamps/WIC) who have a tablet per child. I think it is the norm, in the US.

A cheap android tablet only costs a couple hundred bucks. That's just not that much, even for a poor family.
