The IDE isn't the root cause though, hiding code complexity is a patch.

Write cleaner code or use a higher level language that allows for more readable code. For example, some Go developers (...mainly Rob Pike, granted) eschew even syntax highlighting, as readable code shouldn't need colors to make sense of it.
(Comcast in Philadelphia acquired NBC from GE in 2010; and a bunch of shows died, but not SNL. Comcast is an ISP and also owns NBC and this SNL. Tom Wheeler - who got the 2015 Open Internet Rules passed - was an attorney for Comcast prior to the FCC post.

Pai was a Verizon lobbyist prior to the FCC post. Pai worked to cancel the "No blocking", "No throttling", and "No Paid Prioritization" rules that protected the Internet.)

There is no equal time if there is paid prioritization; to do paid prioritization the ISP prioritizes packets according to payola (which is already illegal in the music industry, for example).

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payola :

> Payola, in the music industry, is the name given to the illegal practice of paying a commercial radio station to play a song without the station disclosing the payment

Are there disclosure rules for Paid Prioritization by ISPs? Are my school videos slower because adult sites just pay the man?
The voice samples are speaking gibberish a lot of the time, but sonically the voices are fantastic. They sound human, even if it's nonsense syllables.

With SD and LLMs, there's a lot you can do to debug it by studying the way it responds to small changes in the prompt. But, since Hertz-dev is using sound as its input, it would be hard to discern which token you should tweak. Of course, if it's meant to be used in real time, that kind of fiddling isn't an option at all. How would you go about systematically studying Hertz-dev's behavior?
We're also done with whataboutism, and nonsense accusations of antisemitism.

Like, this is generally how it goes; workers' rights are generally won, not granted by divine authority.
Yep. It's for exactly this reason that I've told potential vendors in the past that not exposing, and preferably not gathering, individual contributor metrics was a hard requirement. I'd rather have individual team leads or scrum masters have to gather their own stats than have people with disproportionate organisational leverage exposed to information they don't know they aren't qualified to interpret.

That's not entirely true. Retraining is very expensive. If you can train on a very large dataset including proprietary knowledge and then postprocess the model cheaply to forget things saves you retraining for every variation.
Nice post!

I am sharing a similar experience to you.

When it comes to making games I have no interest other than to use C. I am glad and appreciate that I have C skills... even if they are "useless" when in a web or app development role (C#, PHP, etc) --- however, when I tried Odin about 6 months ago (maybe more) I have found my "Better C"

I am one of these people that prefer to have a "one language for all" ... generally speaking. As much as I love C, I know it is not the best for everything. Odin, on the other hand, is a serious contender for this.

Not only am I making a game in Odin (converted away from C99) - I am also creating a Broker Message library and Website in Odin as well.

The Broker system is a rewrite of a C# Windows Service I created, which sends messages and distributes them. For the website, using htmx for the frontend!

Once I finish one of my jobs (I have two) -- I am going to have more time for Odin and these projects. Looking forward to it.

I'm typing this on Fedora 41 (Gnome 47, the latest drop, totally stock no extensions) on a nearly 10 year old 8GB/i5 Thinkpad X1 Carbon and it works just fine. If anything it feels like Gnome has gotten faster with the last few releases.
Thank you for your feedback. Having the platform logos on the list is a great idea, so I've added them to the list.

I'm still thinking about the categorization structure. I want to keep the number as low as possible, but yesterday, it appeared that the current categorization by output type (text, image, etc.) doesn't work well for some tools, especially those related to sharing and communication.

$ sign is again a good idea. Maybe I can add new tags like, free, freemium, ads etc.

Mostly for performance. It's ludicrously expensive in general to check and upsize as required each operation. It's wiser for performance computing to have the developer decides if they want to pay the price and use suitable libraries as needed.

Ah yeah that makes sense. I just wanted to confirm it because I couldn't really find anything when I was searching.
The best one seems to be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5D_optical_data_storage but there's also M-DISC and DNA storage. Microfilm also lasts about 500 years.

As for ubiquitous access, store a reading device or instructions on how to build one along with the data. If you're unable to do that, then I doubt you would be able to keep a massive library of books around for very long either.

There's also no financial incentive to build technologies like this. If the world actually got together and tried to build long-term digital storage then I'm sure we could come up with something even better.
Companies love to collect their data, and they love their AIs to analyze that data. But they ignore the easiest to collect data and the strongest AIs available; these AIs are so good you could just call them Is.

I've always wanted to see regular anonymous mass surveys of employees, about things like project progress and completion dates.

Do you want to know when a feature will be finished? You can analyze story points and build a fancy burn down chart, or you can just ask the people working on the feature. Allow the entire team to anonymously predict when the feature will be finished and I'll bet you get a better answer.

Anonymity is important because people are easily pressured into changing their answers. We've all been asked "how long do you think this will take?". "Two months" you answer. Then managers pressure you into changing your answer, but usually, no matter what you're forced into saying, you still think it will take two months.

Why did they ask if they didn't want my answer? Therein lies the truth. Companies don't want accurate answers and data, they want to see and hear what makes them happy right now.

I don't think most companies would have the courage to regularly gather data with anonymous surveys.

But maybe, if one clear-headed and high-level executive wanted to force it on the company, they could. They could mandate the use of a software tool to do anonymous surveys, and no matter how much lower-level managers complained, the team could still anonymously say when they actually believe the project will be finished. Etc.
Paraphrasing: "Well done, Javascript… for finding yet another way to confuse us all."

I don't know many programming languages, but of the few I know any of them has a === because == is so confusing that you don't know exactly if (or when) it would bite you. You can't attack any language for their comparison operators from the Javascript camp.

It that blog post removed the sentence "And this is how it would definitely happen if the code was written in javascript" they would be fine. But you actually don't know what would definitely happen in Javascript with the line in question "cell[0][0] == cell[1][1] == cell[2][2]", unless you know 100% what is in these cells. For example:

cell[0][0] is "0", cell[1][1] is 0, cell[2][2] is true

and "cell[0][0] == cell[1][1] == cell[2][2]" evaluates to True.

Unions are about more than compensation, they can also fight for working conditions, like the ability to work from home and the processes involved in termination, which are both at issue in this strike.

Contrary to perhaps popular misconception, if the business is unprofitable, unions aren't going to demand a larger piece of a disappearing pie. If there isn't money to be paid out, there's nothing to fight over. Leading a union or negotiating for a union does not fundamentally turn you into an unreasonable person at the negotiating table.

> There is no `f32::checked_add`

You don't need it. You get +- inf on overflow and can decide what to do then. It's also not hard to pre-check before ops if they will succeed if you want to pay the price (same as integers, or any language libs that do the same). In general these ops are expensive and rarely needed.

Making a checked math lib is not terribly hard.

> I work from home and value it but it never would occur to me to strike for that.

I believe that the value from WFH varies a lot from person to person.

If you were working from the office before and the company changed to a WFH policy, you might see it as a nice to have. You already made some life choices to accommodate going to the office. Maybe you even go to the office anyway.

But, if you were hired when the company already had WFH, you probably made some life choices based on that (buying a house far away from the city, having kids, not buying a car,...). In that case, mandatory RTO is a complete disaster (especially with the housing crisis) and you pretty much have no option other than resigning.

I assume NYT was doing WFH since ~2020, so a lot of employees probably took decisions based on WFH, therefore the strikes.
I love this area of study. Bart Ehrman has very interesting books on the topic.
I grokked the quote and my response is still that it’s a cute way to hand-wave away the fact that poisonous food exists.
Yup, and "ask" is a verb, God damn it, not a noun. But people in the tech world frequently use "learnings" instead of "lessons," "ask" as a noun, "like" as filler, and "downfall" when they mean "downside." Best to make your peace and move on with life.

Just FYI: that second comma is incorrect.
> I think the answer to that is a strong union able to bring down the website

Unions cannot cause intentional or malicious destruction of their workplace.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/01/politics/labor-strike-supreme...
Has the union asked for people to "boycott" the NYT during their strike? I know that sometimes unions want that, and sometimes they want the opposite.
Will you release the code?
I'm not sure how organizing a strike is undermining the faith in democracy, looks to me rather the other way around.
Yes, that's assuming a single local process. Redis bills itself as an in-memory data structure store, and at least in my memory, it was mainly pitched for doing interprocess communication with real data structures.

Try measuring a reboot instead. On modern Windows versions with “fast startup” enabled, the “Shutdown” button is a lie: it logs you out and hibernates the system instead of actually shutting it down. (This is important if you dual boot, because it means you can’t safely access the Windows partition in the interim.)

Show HN: Auto-Blog Your Git Commits – SEO Boost with Minimal Effort
I put together a prototype that generates blog posts from Git commits. It’s a way for small businesses or solo devs to keep their blogs updated with relevant content without writing new posts every time. You enter your repo and a date range, and it creates a short summary of recent changes – useful for keeping your blog active and potentially improving SEO.

It’s still pretty basic, so I’d really appreciate any feedback. Do you think this could be helpful? Any ideas on how to make it better for SEO?

Evergreen Protocol
Yes, this is the way. It's better never to gather the information at the individual level.
You can also use multiple layered Kahan, just like the double double and quad double tricks. Adding just one more layer and letting hardware cover more bits precision is often much faster to get precision than any larger lib.

If you're overflowing the exponent, then you need more than hardware magics. But for precision I've used these multi-double tricks with the same guarantees as IEEE style formats, but with as much precision as I want.
I find these expressions a lot more readable for bound checks (like `if 0 <= n < len(something):`) compared to the imperative `if (n >= 0 && n < something.length)`. This was especially true when I used it for homework, where constraints described in mathematical form were a lot more common than when dealing with real life software.

The way it works in Python allows for some hilariously unreadable code, but the concept itself is good. I think it just needs more constraints to maintain readability, such as not allowing flipping the comparison sign (like in x<y>z).

Banning these chained comparison operators is not necessarily a bad idea as comparison operators can easily cause confusion in that manner, but the reason they cause confusion is that many programming languages use mathematical symbols differently than actual math. A=B=C is perfectly understandable and more readable than A=B ∧ B=C. Restraining ourselves to "operand operator operand" as the only infix expression model made sense decades ago when computers had storage counted in kilobits. Today, we can let go of the limitations of yore and use mathematical expressions in a way that plain sense.
wouldn't it be lovely if someone, somehow pointed out that it should be

Something I've learned from 404 media is journalism actually has a fine business model. People are willing to pay for good journalism.

The problem is (much like the rest of the economy) what passes for news media is incredibly top heavy and bloated with managers, executives, and shareholders who suck up money without providing any value.

For every journalist there are 15 managers and editors hired for nepotism reasons. The NYT is full of people like that who do nothing but trot out right wing editorials supporting whatever war the US is involved in[4] or attacking people who think the world can be a better place[3]. I used to pay for The Atlantic but for every Ed Yong writing amazing science articles there's a right wing editor like Jeffrey Goldberg[1] sucking up money and shitting out right wing propaganda[2].

This article[0]from 404 said it well.

>Then I went to work for VICE, and made working at VICE part of my identity. I wanted the company to succeed so badly because I believed in what we were doing and I believed in the institution. I worked zillions of hours of unpaid overtime, took on side projects, canceled vacations to do work, worked on vacations, and made incredibly hard decisions, thinking that, if I did my job well enough, the company would succeed and we would get to keep doing what we were doing. I spent the vast majority of that time doing work that made money for an over-bloated apparatus that existed to make a bunch of middle managers and executives large salaries and bonuses and to benefit a founder who is now retroactively denigrating our work in an attempt to cling to whatever relevancy he can find by catering to conspiracy theorists and the right.

I hope journalists leave the old right wing media like the NYT and Washington Post and start their own things focusing on journalism. I gladly pay for that.

Great article about more or less recent geology. But it has a couple of bloopers like:

> the seas during this time were extraordinarily warm, comparing them the temperature of “hot soup.”

This should serve as a reminder that spell checks are not a substitute for proofreading.
Small Businesses, early stage ventures, and entrepreneurs want a level playing field so that they can afford to compete with incumbent large corporations which can afford to pay for prioritization if that's what everyone else does.

But isn't that (radio) Payola all over again?
> no matter how much lower-level managers complained, the team could still anonymously say when they actually believe the project will be finished. Etc.

This would result in lower tier managers announcing beforehand they claimed "x time for y project" and if the devs want their sickdays/bonuses/promotions they should claim same.
