I'll take a peek, but i'm surprised, I stopped caring (pun slightly intended) about dua liap around future nostalgia. There's some nice bass in it but it's crude. The recent willow single was interesting that's true. Only people that manage to give me a sense of depth were thundercat/knower, benny sings

But I still miss some of the subtle harmonics from edits like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVhl896h2NI . There are other studio sessions with isolated vocals which afaik are not made this way anymore

ps: ryn makes good pop, colorful, but i don't know, maybe a different approach to voicings, it's missing something

> Absolutely not.

So basically, you're dealing with devices that use obsolete hardware and are designed to be extra-brittle (no safety margin), with a built-in planned obsolescence (what if the new update requires just a bit more space for "calibration data"?). Got it.

sysvinit indeed fits perfectly. Make the system extra unreliable, to provide a stimulus to buy a newer version.

> One of the main goals of OpenWRT is to support legacy networking hardware that vendors abandoned.

And OpenWRT abandoned this goal. OpenWRT also can do nothing about firmware vulnerabilities in the old WiFi chipsets.

Moreover, 10 years ago, systems with 32Mb were already common.
I agree with you in broad terms but come on, all the care in the world for the environment won't stop external threats. Ask the dinosaurs. Sure the resources can be used to mitigate those threats like NASA DART mission but it is nice to have a plan B just in case.
> Wi-Fi 8 prioritizes one aspect of wireless communication that has become increasingly critical: reliability. Whereas 802.11be, which became commercialized as Wi-Fi 7, was termed "Extremely High Throughput", 802.11bn, which is expected to be accepted as Wi-Fi 8, is focused on "Ultra High Reliability".

It's pretty great to hear this is the explicit focus. I don't need 50 Gbit/s, nobody ever reaches those theoretical speeds in the real world anyway. I do need Wi-Fi to work consistently even in congested areas like apartments where you're in "view" of six other units and every one has a dozen smarthome devices all babbling continuously.

Not OP, but typically Spring and transitive dependencies. Some package that you don’t even use is pulled in and has a CVE. Or you upgrade major Spring versions and the API changes underneath you.
In 2024 the one and only answer is finally just ESM.

If you need to support the browser use `<script type="module">`. That works natively in every current browser today. You may need an "importmap" for more easily handling dependencies. You may need to spot build with something like esbuild or rollup or rolldown for some of your dependencies if they were written in CJS or to add missing things a browser needs like ".js" file extensions.

If you need to support Node use the package.json incantation `"type": "module"` and the `"exports"` key instead of `"main"` and get sane modern defaults in all LTS supported versions of Node (and a few past versions now, too). Most imports will "just work", your module files will be sensibly named ".js". If you publish a library, most people can consume it, even if some of them (CJS stalwarts/people trapped in legacy swamps) complain about having to work with Promises some of the time.

If you need to support Deno or Bun, they already have sane defaults and their documentation guides you pretty well, including Typescript setup.

> I wish Typescript would have mandated one style and one style of JS module only!!

The good news it that they kind of did: the import/export syntax that Typescript has made familiar since around TS 1.0/1.5 is "surprise" ESM syntax. Typescript has been preparing developers into using it all along. You can stop cross-compiling the ESM you've already become used to writing to older, worse formats like CJS and AMD, you can let Typescript do a lot less work on your behalf and just "strip types" more than "transpile".
So the reason it's not synoptic, is because it literally isn't synoptic. I love when the definition of a word explains what it means. No offense to the parent commenter but it's great when the answer to "why isn't x this thing with a definite meaning" answered by "because that definite meaning doesn't apply to x". I suspect most people have never considered that Synoptic might have a real definition and not just some hand-wavy religious one.

In most "at-will" states I don't think that would work. A big part of being an employee is that the employer determines the times, places, and methods for completing the work you are assigned. If they say "we want you to work in the office now" your options are basically to do that, or quit.
Sai from PeerDB here. Temporal has been very impactful for us and a major factor in our ability to build a production-grade product that supports large-scale workloads.

At a high level, CDC is a complex state machine. Temporal helps building the state machine taking care of auto-retries/idempotency at different failure points and also aids in managing and observing it. This is very useful to identify root causes when issues arise.

Managing Temporal shouldn’t be complex. They offer a well-maintained, mature Docker container. From a user standpoint, the software is intuitive and easy to understand. We package the temporal docker container in our own Docker setup and have it integrated into our Helm charts. We’ve quite a few users smoothly using Enterprise (that we open sourced recently) and standard OSS!

> 3/4 are directors and managers

this is a problem. Hiring and career paths are completely non-existent for tech people. Most will not get a cost of living increase, and the only way to actually increase their pay is to update their resume and spend months trying to find another position. I dont' know if you've noticed, but our job market blows right now.

They may have bought us off for a decade or so, giving us benefits that rivaled unionized positions. But over the last 20 years, that "bargain" has slowly eroded and now the unionized shops are the only ones getting benefits for the employees.

Capitalism being what it is, each company MUST pursue the lowest costs and highest margin. Without collective bargaining, a single worker has no power against the whims and desires of board members, to whom you are just a rounding error.

> Again, offshoring normally implies that there are workers still in an "onshore" office.

Not workers doing the same jobs though. Look at how manufacturing was offshored over the past several decades -- for many companies, entire job trees within the US were eliminated. HQ is still in the US, but anything remotely having to do with manufacturing isn't. You have to go really high up the chain in those offshored manufacturing jobs before you see anyone actually interacting with an employee in the US.
One thing to note about data races in Go is that the safe Go subset is only memory-safe if you do not have data races. The original post alludes to that because it mentions the race detector. This situation is different from Java where the expected effect of data races on memory safety is bounded (originally due to the sandbox, now bounded effects are more of QoI aspect). Data races in Java are still bad, and your code may go into infinite loops if you have them (among other things), but they won't turn a long into an object reference.

The good news is that the Go implementation can be changed to handle data races more gracefully, with some additional run-time overhead and some increase in compiler complexity and run-time library complexity, but without language changes. I expect this to happen eventually, once someone manages to get code execution through a data race in a high-profile Go application and publishes the results.
Yes, that’s the point. The idea that you deal with errors locally doesn’t work. See also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42038568
Great write up -- hadn't seen Perspective.

Would Perspective work for a similar use case as Causal's where the data tables have a large amount of interactivity, tree-based information and/or master-detail style UI concerns?

We're building a product that is more oriented around the interactive DAG concept and less about big data. The snappiness of those examples is very impressive.

At this point, it's not even about the action against WPEngine anymore.

So Matt's willingness to continue escalating makes me too nervous to build anything new right now.

If you self-host Wordpress, and not rely on the built-in plugin library, you are probably safe. But now you are apparently responsible to do your due diligence to make sure any service you use is either a) is safely independent of WordPress's services or b) paying Automattic/WordPress royalties.

> Yet, localizing 'print', etc. is no easy feat

True, but consider that "print" is just as easy to memorize its purpose as a squiggle.

I've lived in foreign countries, and traveled in countries where I don't speak the language at all. It doesn't take much to figure out what the words for "entry", "exit", "toilet", etc., mean.

And besides, English is the most international language in the world. Even if one doesn't know what "print" means, it's easy enough to look it up online or in a pocket dictionary. Keep in mind that there's no way to look up an icon.

At least in New York City a few years ago, affidavit ballots weren’t run until the very end. So you had a pre and post-run total, and if the affidavits swung a race it was a payday for the election lawyers who would scrutinise each one.
Generally the idea is pretty cool, but

1. it seems to be a one-person-show based on commit history, which is not too many

2. the company behind seems to be brand new, their VC cheque is still warm.

The actual changes (at least based on teh commit messages) are pretty cryptic also.

It might turn out to be a cool project eventually, but to me currently it looks like a kernel with vague random changes, and with a questionable foreseeable lifetime.

With that said, I wish the project good luck. I might even give it a spin later if it is still around.

Unfortunately the malevolence comes when your manager was trying to do something out of scope and pushing the team in a direction to win some points, and failed miserably. And then, not wanting to take the fall, throws you under the bus even though you might have signaled your reluctance and risks associated with deviating away from the path the organization needed. There is no way to get out of that other than leave or get canned.
idk 2.5% yearly raise and 5% for promotions seems kind of meager to me. Seems like a yearly raise should both cover cost of living and throw in another percent or 2 to compensate for having another year of experience. I know a lot of people in a lot of professions don't get this but tech comp is what it is.

Then a promotion raise that constitute only 2 years of yearly base raises seems pretty lacking to me since a promotion generally comes with increased responsibilities and higher standards.

I've worked as a developer for companies outside of big tech who complain all day long about the fact that they can't compete with big tech on compensation while they hemorrhage engineers to big tech. I'm sure NYT does the same. No amount of moaning about this will change the fact that they are directly competing with these companies for talent.

I'm not anti-union at all and see them as necessary in certain types of jobs (I hope the Boeing Machinist's Union guts Boeing), but I have no interest in being a part of a union as a developer because it seems like collective bargaining just ends up locking everyone into the level of salary/career progression of the lowest common denominator.

I wrote and played with a fairly simple agentic system and had some of the same thoughts RE higher order behaviour. But I think the counter-points would be that they don't have to all be the same model, and what you might call context management - keeping each agent's "chain of thought" focused and narrow.

The former is basically what MoE is all about, and I've found that at least with smaller models they perform much better with a restricted scope and limited context. If the end result of that is something that do things a single large model can't, isn't that higher order?

You're right that there's no "inner world" but then maybe that's the benefit of giving them one. In the same way that providing a code-running tool to an LLM can allow it to write better code (by trying it out) I can imagine a 3D world being a playground for LLMs to figure out real-world problems in a way they couldn't otherwise. If they did that wouldn't it be higher order?

I was wondering if there's productivity angle too. Take Ceph vs Rook for example. If a Ceph cluster needs all the resources on its machines and the cluster manages its resources too, then moving to Rook does not give any additional features. All the 50K additional lines of code in Rook is to set up CSIs and statefulsets and whatnot just to get Ceph working on Kubernetes.

I get forced into political (and yes, religious) conversations. I avoid when I can, but sometimes it's less of a drive-by political swipe and more of a head-on collision into that load of toxic sludge.

They don't always tolerate silence either, so I find ways to work with them.

Why were those "rentiers and parasites" ever involved? Why wasn't the NYT (or any other Thing) just created by the workers without their involvement? The answer in practice is that they provided value by providing the necessary capital to build the thing, and they did so in return for a cut of the future wealth earned by the thing. It's arguable that the wealth inequality that set the initial conditions for this is out of hand, but given the starting conditions, how else do you make big things?

For one, a meaningful amount of tech worker compensation comes in the form of company stock. For another, I would argue that anyone who wants to stay in their job long term should care about the company and it's long term health.

> Curious too when the various disciples lived, wrote.

First, you can't just assume that 'the disciples' wrote those text. There is no evidence for that and lots of evidence against that. Basically no series scholars believe this anymore.

These text came into being later without titles. They circulated without titles. Its later church fathers who just assigned names to them based on tradition.

John is just to different. Especially in terms of 'Christology', meaning Jesus and his relationship to god. In Mark for example, Jesus basically doesn't say that he is the son of god. Mark Jesus is basically just a middle eastern wizard. In John Jesus is basically fully god doing some performance art in a human body.

But many people still believe that John had access to some of the likely earlier gospels (and not necessary just those in the bible). While they are quite different, there is no way they can be fully different. Some apologist want you to believe that John is an independent oral tradition but that is not accepted by most secular scholars.

> Striking during election week is kind of a crappy move to pull

I couldn't disagree more. The point of a strike is to demonstrate the value of your labor by withholding it. Withholding your labor in a slow week would be counterproductive. Strikes (just like any effective form of protest) are supposed to be inconvenient, so in saying what you said, you're really just expressing you don't like strikes. Having this blow up in election week is a risk the Times knowingly took in not meeting their workers' needs sufficiently, and drawing out the negotiations as long as they have. The guild is doing the right thing.
