Sounds like what you have works for you, seems like it would be quite brittle to me though.

> Idk why bash scripting is a "lost art"

I suspect that has to do with the fact that writing or reading it is often an effort in futility, acting as an efficient rabbet hole time trap.

Bash scripting is supposed to act as glue, and it does so extremely poorly. It relies on program writers coding their interfaces correctly to maintain determinism (which many have done very poorly). It makes no guarantees, or warnings about such errors, it makes it quite easy to make these mistakes, and the respective maintainers of the various utilities it may depend on have said these bugs are working as intended, nofix.

Take a look at ldd sometime, I'm sure you'll notice the output has three different types of determinism problems which prevent passing the output to any automation (and having it work thereafter correctly), without first patching the software.

That particular bug was reported in 2016, it was partially fixed in 2018 by PaX, but the maintainers wouldn't pull the fix (from what I read), so PaX forked it. The bugs still exist there today afaik.

For glue to work, you have to be able to make certain guarantees and be able to correctly transform the output in various ways easily. Visibility in all processes is extremely important as well and changes made on one version should continue to work on later versions.

Unfortunately, by externalizing most of the basic functionality to various core utilities, you potentially get different behavior every time you update, and as mentioned it fails resiliency tests; instead becoming brittle. There is also very little visibility without having deep knowledge of the ecosystem.

Ironically, what was described in the Monad Manifesto got this better than anything else I've seen since.
Fascinating there doesn't seem to be a consensus "just use this" answer here.

I believe you can avoid most of not all of the P/invoke overhead these days by using unmanaged function pointers and not using the automatic marshalling.

The one where most Apple products actually have a problem with them but for the most part many of their rich customers do not see them because they appear further down the line. Usually around 3 year mark and further.

But you will find plenty of Apple aficionados who buy/resell their Apple stuff yearly or bi-annually who tells you they never have problems; not realizing they sold their problems.

I have been buying Apple hardware since the early 2000 and I have way more issues than is reasonable for the price paid.
It's like German cars, you pay more because they look cool, they run fast but not necessarily because they are more reliable. If anything, they are going to break down more and cost a lot more to repair...
There are so many ports that would be far more useful than MagSafe at a similar hardware cost
Wow it's so mad that "just before COVID" is already "years ago". It feels so short ago.

I'm kinda worried that this will happen again with the bird flu. Pigs are genetically very close to humans. The pandemic lockdowns were one of the worst times of my life and so were the other measures.
Oh! Very grateful for the correction. I do feel that’s a third-degree burn waiting to happen. Are you saying heat the pain to high, then put on the oil? Doesn’t that splash painfully?
I've had mixed results writing "normal" business logic in c++, but i gotta say, for SQL it's pretty incredible. Granted SQL has a lot of boilerplate and predictable structure, but it saves a ton of time honestly.

You need to trust the erasure system, which is software. This also requires you to have write access to the disk whatever the issues are, otherwise your trust is left in the encryption and nobody having the key.

That's good enough for most consumers, but a lot more sensitive for enterprises IMHO. It usually gets a pass by having the contractual relation with the repair shop cover the risks, but I know some roles that don't get macbooks for that reason alone.
I think of it more as like the modem AT command set, but for the simpler side of industrial robotics.

This isn't quite correct. The Free Software flawed conception of a "user" includes megacorporations, which have a lot of power.

The article's critique cuts somewhat independently. E.g., some counterexamples from the article: FOSS browsers stuffed with DRM and spying because they can, and commercially-licensed games which don't.
Go has built-in support for importing Go modules, but the submodule is for a C++ library not a Go module, so your suggestion isn't workable.
Google business model is mostly ads (~80% revenue) and majority of their ads are from google search (~60% of revenue). This allowed them to subsidise many other projects in the past.

These days they have a lot of competition in ads scene (meta, tiktok, x, reddit, amazon) and also other are gunning at google search: perplexity, searchGPT, bing. Apple choosing OpenAI for Apple Intelligence. Amazon teaming with Anthropic for Alexa. On top of that antitrust in EU and USA.

That's the reason google is killing lots of projects or loosing on many fronts these days or they aggressively try to monetise other projects (Youtube, Manifest V3.0). If they don't win in this AI race or diversify revenue/business model enshitification will continue.
you said it, bro.
I’m picky and there just aren’t too many good ones, free or paid, so I’d probably pay some small amount.
Knowing what you had to know to write that, would you dare using it?

Compression, encryption and streaming sparse files together are impressive already. But now we get a new BRT entry appearing out of nowhere, dedup index pruning one that was there a moment ago, all while correctly handling arbitrary errors in whatever simultaneous deduped writes, O_DIRECT writes, FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and reads were waiting for the same range? Sounds like adding six new places to hold the wrong lock to me.
The correlation-causation in this article is really rather screwed up.

The way it really works for plastic is this: almost all bad plastic is black, but not all black plastic is bad. That's it.

There is nothing wrong whatsoever with virgin black plastics. (Well, at least, nothing more than is wrong with plastics in general.) So there is no reason to fear black plastic from reputable sources.

The trouble comes in when plastics get recycled. There may be sourcing issues for black resins, but the root of the matter is this: black plastics are typically pigmented with carbon black. Carbon black as a pigment is cheap, safe, and very effective. That's good! But that also means that when you throw together a pile of recycled sludge mix and it comes out beige, greige, or worse, you can't sell that (who would buy greige resin?? wait, don't answer that)... so you color it, cheaply... which means carbon black. So almost all random crappy recycled plastic resin ends up black. That's the real problem with black plastic.
Can you elaborate on the alternative source?
I noticed that. But people are very regimental there.

It's a bit strange though because the city doesn't even have that many cars and usually it's pretty safe to just look both ways.

I don't get why it seems like people are all of a sudden talking about "crusty" eggs. I've seen it so much online in videos in just the last year. It definitely feels like some kind of fad. Eggs that have browned to the degree to which I'm seeing on YouTube would have gotten me fired at Waffle House.

That said, at Waffle House, we used carbon steel pans for eggs. There was a point where every pan would start to stick, no matter how it was heated. Those pans, we would clean with oil and salt, which is very abrasive. I'm not sure exactly what the effect was: either cleaning off accumulated dirt or filing out scratches and dings that would develop. I'm not sure because the salt should have created more scratches, but there was definitely a "worst" pan that had a deep scratch in it that always had some sticking problems.
The article is nonsense. Only engineering plastics carry UL94 ratings (and if it's got flame retardants in it, it's got a UL94 rating... otherwise no one would go to the expense!) and there are just not a lot of engineering plastics in the waste stream compared to consumer single-use plastics.

I definitely think it's just a business decision being made in some cases.

Your developers have just built and demonstrated a functioning multiplayer prototype. They want to spend 3 months to rewrite some of it for better security, and 3 months to implement the missing features and make it fully functioning. You just got off a call from a sales person for an anticheat vendor who gave you a strong pitch, so you say no to the first 3 months because it's cheaper to just add anticheat than to pay 3 months of salary on this.
It's not native, but I've been pretty happy with big-AGI. It's just an `npm run` away. I don't use it for coding tasks, though.

Its most unique feature is its "beam" facility, which allows you to send a query to multiple APIs simultaneously (if you want to cross-check) and even combine the answer.
Yeah, and some of those pro-drug laws are likely going to be walked back.

To be honest, I'm not sure what has actually been happening. People claim hardcore drug (ie, cocaine, meth, etc., NOT marijuana) use has gotten worse, but I don't know if it's actually backed up by statistics.

I've always believed that drug possession and use should not be illegal, but that rehab programs should be well-funded and free, and only distribution of drugs should be criminal. Addicts are victims that need help, while sellers are enablers.

I get the impression that the decriminalization happened without the adequate health services to help people. Alternatively, many addicts simply don't want help.

But I openly admit that these opinions are based on feelings, and I don't know if drug use and the associated problems increased.
Like either he's getting iced out of the White House or there will be revolution in the street. You can't be the richest person and ask the country to brace for economic hardship. We don't live in society that can take that. Neoliberalism and deregulation have taken patience to the brink for the majority of voters. Like what America is he living in where voters are going to put up with that?
I think so. I live in a fairly big city and it's the same here. Excellent public transport, not so many cars around. Walking to the subway station is already 600m. Inside the subway system one can walk a lot for connecting lines. Even if I did have a car it would be a few blocks away in some parking garage. It's not like we have car ports or driveways here.
It's true that the anti-glare works OK. By that, I mean that I've never thought about it, and now that you mention it, I realize it's a good thing since I never felt the need to complain (I don't usually hold back). The screen is also very sharp and doesn't exhibit the weird texture some anti-glare coatings used to have.

However, in that particular office, there are no strong sources of light that would shine directly on the screens, so it's hard to say how good it actually is, especially when comparing to other models. The screen can also get pretty bright, so it should be able to handle most lighting situations in an office.

I type this on a Dell U3223QE, on a black background, with two lamps right behind me. The lamps aren't very bright, but the room is fairly dark (it's still night here). I can see the glare if I pay attention to it (didn't notice it before reading your comment). This is a 32" screen, sitting at roughly the same distance as the Samsung, yet it doesn't exhibit the viewing angle issue at all.

I do know that having a brightish window behind me with this screen requires upping the brightness, or the glare would be a pain. Never tried the Samsung in that configuration.

It's very related to LLMs. Though instead of text tokens you are working with audio tokens (e.g. from SoundStream). Then you go to audio corpus, instead of text corpus.
To reiterate the usual list of potential un-publicized motives:

1. Indirect layoffs.

2. Retain favorable tax arrangement that have "local jobs" as a requirement.

3. Pressure from investors who have downtown rentals in their portfolio.

4. Peer pressure from others in executive social circles, everyone else is doing it too so it must be true, etc.

5. Managers having problems either evaluating employees on work-merits or else proving to their own bosses that they're doing something valuable.
The 2015 keeps going!

I was considering upgrading to an M3 up until about a month ago when Apple replaced my battery, keyboard, top case, and trackpad completely for free. An upgrade would be nice as it no longer supports the latest MacOS, but at this point, I may just load Ubuntu on the thing and keep using it for another few years. What a machine.
So many great ideas started on TextMate. It was revolutionary and its influence on modern editors cannot be understated.
A sufficiently large and complex organization should be implementing Separation of Duties (SOD) such that a person with this level of authority should not be allowed to mishandle data without going through approvals beforehand: https://csrc.nist.gov/glossary/term/separation_of_duty

So questions we should all be asking, as good citizens of this world:

1. What industries are handling sensitive data?

2. What regulatory oversight is requiring them to do it safely?

Ultimately many facets of this article's premise are purely American. Look to places like Europe and even China to see how these kinds of problems are being addressed. The US has done plenty here, but there are huge exceptions that make concerns like this one very real.
> Got anything else you want to blame on immigrants? It seems to be trending behavior. And more's the pity.

Also, getting a license in many countries is far more difficult than in the US. Where I'm from there aren't even learner permits. The only way to learn is to take lessons with a real instructor and the exam is really strict. Most people fail several times and spend thousands on getting it.
Though TB5 should be better. I think you can already find some of these on Aliexpress.

> The problem is finding people to do it with who care enough to think rigorously about what they're going to do before they start doing it.

There is no incentive to do it. I worked that way, focused on quality and testing and none of my changes blew up in production. My manager opined that this approach is too slow and that it was ok to have minor breakages as long as they are fixed soon. When things break though, it's blame game all around. Loads of hypocrisy.
Neither of your points are proven. Is the slowdown a real effect of hitting technological/technique/data limits? Or is it just a lull in the storm?
> If models keep lasting ~year timescales could we ever see people going with ROM chips for the weights instead of memory?

Before ROM, there's a step where HBM for weights is replaced with Flash or Optane (but still high bandwidth, on top of the chip) and KV cache lives in SRAM - for small batch sizes, that would actually be decently cheap. In this case, even if weights change weekly, it's not a big deal at all.

If you're interacting with other humans, or with the consumer internet, you'll run into thousands of situations where my default setup (macOS, Chrome) "just works," and your setup will require some extra effort.

You may be smart enough to figure it out, but most people (even many smart tech people) get tired of these constant battles.

Here's an example from earlier this evening: I was buying a plane ticket from Japan Air Lines. Chrome automagically translates their website from Japanese to English. Other browsers, e.g. Firefox, and even Safari, do not - I checked. Is there a workaround or a fix? I'm sure you could find one, given time and effort. But who wants to constantly deal with these hassles?

Another very common example is communication apps. Or any time you're exchanging data in some proprietary format. Would it be great if no one used proprietary formats? Yes! Is that the world we live in? No. Can I force the rest of the world to adopt open standards, by refusing to communicate with them? No.
It sounds like you're suffering from the typical grift where contractors over-charge because they don't want to do the work you're asking for. This is common but its a problem with contractors. The standard way to build in the US involves illegal immigrants doing poor quality work.
Not really. IIRC the asymmetry was similar on OKC but the UI was far different and much better at letting the user search for other users that they were interested in.

The swipe left or swipe right UI is absolute garbage and having to pay to get boost the chances that your profile is even seen is indicative of the primary purpose of these apps.

Google recently changed who is running search. Basically, Prabhakar Raghavan was moved from running Search and ads to being Chief Technologist. Nick Fox is the new person running Google Search.

I wonder if Prabhakar Raghavan was moved out of Google Search because of Search's decline in quality?
I have Pro Display XDR with nano coating and the manual definitely says to only use their special cleaning cloth (or with some isopropyl alcohol). The standard coating might not need it though.
This is an interesting perspective, thank you. IMO it still doesn't explain the exact threshold though: why 400-seat planes make sense and 550-seat planes somehow don't. One of the options would be to draw the line at "2 vs 4 engines". If that's the case, then I hope to live long enough to see 2-engine behemoths.
> a server side thing that properly weeds bad players out through reports/trust and automated bans.

No. No no no.

Automated bans via the report system is very well-known to be abused.

Even if you implement a "trust" system where initially, all your reports are manually verified by game staff until its determined your reports are correct until your reports are acted on automatically, all it takes is a player to just be "good" until their trust is high enough, then start reporting people who don't actually deserve it.

And I'm not convinced that server-side anti-cheat can be effective. You have to rely entirely on heuristics. Sure, a simple aim-bot that instantly snaps someone's aim right on someone's head might be detectable, but one that simply lets you see through walls certainly won't be if the player doesn't make it stupidly obvious by pre-aiming around every corner.
And the same was said with the last fad when Blockcbain was all investors wanted to hear about ("Big Data" I suppose). It's all a pattern.

It's a legal nightmare in my domain as of now, so I'll make sure the Sam Breaker-Friends are weeded out. If it's really all the hype it won't be going anywhere in 5 years.

This is a fallacy because there is no way to add up 1% savings across 100 employees into an extra full time employee.

Work gets scheduled on short time frames. 5% savings isn't enough to change the schedule for any one person. At most, it gives me time to grab an extra coffee. I can't string together "foregone extra coffees" into "more tasks/days in the schedule".
