> The boss had also become vulnerable asking you to be 10% more vulnerable.

That's really irrelevant. It's like taking your pants down, showing your privates and assuming your coworkers will do the same.

Absolutely unacceptable especially when it comes from position of power, where workers may think that if they don't engage they'll get fired or won't get promotion. It's coercion.

> the boss just said , " Hey if you are comfortable , lets try to be a little vulnerable " and if you didn't like it you could've said " hey boss , I appreciate your gesture but I really really wouldn't like to share it as it would be a violation of my privacy , hope you understand "

This is never innocent. If someone's life depends on the job, they'll comply as they don't want to second guess if their refusal will lead to them end up being homeless. They'll share details they don't want to and get injured.

To your edit, you are still making an assumption of pettiness on the part of God. These "swear" words are nothing but wind. They have no impact on the world. If God is invested in the world, then is probable that only those words, idle or not, that made a positive or negative impact on the world would be worthwhile to judge with any weight. So-called "idle" words may have been mentioned simply to cast an umbrella over all speech, due to an incomplete recollection of what the Christ figure had once said about speech. Like most attributions in the new testament, it is a second hand account of what had been said a decent while before.

Tiobes's index is quite literally worthless, especially with regards to its stated purpose, let alone as a general point of orientation.

There are three (relevant) phases (see “translation phases” in section 5 of the standard):

• program is lexed into preprocessing tokens; comments turn into whitespace

• preprocessor does its thing

• preprocessor tokens are turned into proper tokens; different kinds of number are disambiguated; keywords and identifiers are disambiguated

If you put an unclosed comment inside #if 0 then it won’t work as you might expect.
Devault's "Stallman Report" was also a hitpiece that takes things RMS said out of context. So this fits as a response.

Maybe you're technically correct, but would you advise anyone to run Windows without security updates?
Seems like the root misstep is when extending server support to 10 years they extended GUI app support as well. The two probably shouldn't be linked and GUI support should end with the desktop edition at five years.
The downside of using more than one programming language (not counting javascript) is that it makes everything more complex. Development, testing, deployment, issue tracking, etc. Plus it forces people to either specialize in one part of the application or learn two things in depth.
Or Latour and the others really are just pseudo thinkers, maybe they have some things to say but it is muddied and bloated by all the wrong (Not Even Wrong) things they are saying, and history might judge the French postmodernists for taking the wrong path.

I say this as someone who used to be partial toward postmodernist texts, and defended them using arguments similar to yours (they should be understood in this other way!), but I eventually, finally moved on, and I (in my opinion) deem them to be at their worst harmful to critical thinking.

Regarding Latour specifically there is hate-paper on his work, a professor published a paper describing exactly why Latour is problematic bullshit.
Probably the rosin is just at a lower temperature. Set oil to 275°F instead of 350°F and you'd achieve the same effect, if that's the case. (As you suggest.)

Or if the rosin is creating some kind of impermeable seal (unlikely since it's liquid at this temperature, but let's suppose it chemically reacts with the skin somehow) then you achieve the same thing by wrapping the potato in aluminum foil. That's the whole reason for foil around baked potatoes at steakhouses.

The point is, the rosin isn't doing anything special you can't already easily do. There's no special flavor here.
Sure, you can generate the YAML file, but it’s not generally possible to trigger that from the system which wants the YAML file, and you don’t get to integrate with the system’s configuration. Often these systems honestly think that their approach of logic-templated YAML is preferable to a script — for example Helm’s templated Kubernetes YAML.
> any criminal who doesn't let the state dictate his choice of weapons.

As someone who lives in a society where firearm ownership is heavily regulated, I can tell you serious crime is not rampant, that I don't feel unprotected, and that I am confident very few criminals do have firearms, and that those criminals who do are very conscious about firearm usage and only employ them against similarly armed criminals.

As an added bonus, my kids don't need to go through active shooter drills at school.

speaking with someone is a far cry from being a foreign agent.

The Act requires periodic disclosure of all activities and finances by people and organizations that are under control of a foreign government. It is completely legal to speak with foreign powers, like their ideas, and be influenced by them.

You become a foreign agent if you take orders from them or are paid by them. Nobody has made a compelling case that Musk takes orders from Putin.

> I love when outsiders throw around random-ass takes like this. Just curious: how'd you come up with this number? Is it backed by literally any thought/data/roadmap?

It's a multiple of what the TinyGrad ( https://tinygrad.org/#tinybox ) startup raised in capital. So $10-20m is absolutely reasonable, especially if you add an established HR with a hiring pipeline, established IT dept, offices, etc.

The multiplier is also easy to justify, given the stock price of NVidia and AMD.

> A quick reminder before you answer: whatever you think is actually involved in improving ROCm, unless you work on ROCm, you're almost certainly not considering an entire iceberg of complexity (runtime/driver/firmware).

Oh, I do. I've been following the OpenSource AMD driver development for the last 2 decades.

And I maintain that the total amount of investment that AMD needed to make to rival NVidia in the market cap, would have been around that number.

> Cutting to the chase: you're off by at least two orders of magnitude on your goofy estimate; the real numbers are probably closer to 200MM invested every year for 10 years.

For an entirely new company starting from scratch? Reasonable. But AMD is not a new company, and they already are doing most of the work needed.

I use LibreOffice on Linux and don't have any copy/paste or fonts and formatting issues like you are describing. I wouldn't be surprised if such bugs get fixed more quickly on Linux because Linux users don't have an easy way to use Excel, while the vast majority of Windows users do use Excel so there are fewer LibreOffice for Windows users complaining.

Excel does have more functions but 90% of people don't need those. If you do, you do.

Geekbench is a highly regarded benchmark because it effectively reflects the overall performance of various platforms as experienced by the average user. By "platform," we mean the combination of hardware and software—how systems are actually used in day-to-day scenarios.

Specint, on the other hand, is useful for assessing specific tasks if you plan to run identical workloads. However, its individual test results vary widely. For example, Apple Silicon chips generally perform well in Specint but might match a competing chip in one test and be three times faster in another. These tests focus on very narrow tasks that can highlight the unique strengths of certain instructions or system features but are not representative of overall real-world performance.

The debate over benchmarks is endless and, frankly, exhausting, as it often rehashes the same arguments. In practice, most people accept that Geekbench is a reliable indicator of performance, and I maintain it’s an excellent benchmark. You might disagree, but my stance stands.

Plus that conflict is quite complicated, predates WW2 and the imposition of this system, and the US does not support the settlers.

It's not that complicated, actually. The US is technically not a fan of the settlements, but its criticisms have been muted to the point of silence for several years now.

Meanwhile, what matters is what happens on the ground. As long as Israel keeps doing the settlements dance, and US military aid keeps flowing with no restrictions, and it does not take aggressive action against the settlers' base of support within the US itself, then de facto "the US supports the settlements", and that's pretty much all there is to it.

On top of this, other extremely regrettable actions it has taken (such as endorsing move of the capital to Jerusalem) signal tacit support of the Greater Israel project generally (which the settlements are the primary vanguard of).

That's not an invasion in the classic nation-state sense since the Palestinians have never had a country.

What matters is that it's both theft and plunder on a grand scale, and ethnic cleansing in the classic mold. Mincing words does not change this fact.

Sure. But again: there is a significant crossover between Democrats and lefties who want to strip an American of their citizenship as well as between Republicans and jackbooters who support violent insurrection against an elected government.

I'll quote something for you

criminalizing individuals based on their place of birth or nationality is generally considered a violation of international human rights law. Principles of non-discrimination are central to international agreements like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. These treaties emphasize that all people, regardless of origin, have the right to equality before the law and protection from discrimination.

Apple wishes ray tracing was AI acceleration, because then they could at least ride the Nvidia valuation pump. But the truth is even less glamorous than that - this is a feature for the future, something for posterity. It's a well-researched field of fixed-function acceleration with multiple competitive implementations, unlike AI architectures. What's else, in 3-5 years you can bet your bottom dollar Apple will announce their CUDA alternative alongside a new Mac Pro. You can't even confidently say I'm joking since they've already done this (and subsequently depreciated it) once before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL#OpenCL_1.0

I guess I can't blame HN for courting pedestrian takes, but man you're going to be disappointed by Apple's roadmap going forward if this is your opinion. And I say this, defending Apple, as someone that treats Tim Cook and Steve Jobs as the living and buried devil respectively. Having hardware-accelerated ray tracing is no more of a "gamer" feature than the high-impedance headphone jack is an "audiophile" feature. It is intelligent design motivated by a desire to accommodate a user's potential use-case. Removing either would be a net-negative at this point.
OTOH they’ve used Display PostScript and PDF as their display systems for NeXTSTEP and Mac OS X.
Indeed in some of the listed languages you can nest it like that, but in others (e.g. Python) you can't. I would guess they deliberately don't want to enable that and it's not a problem in their parser or something.

Hm. I think a lot of new homes (around me) have cameras. Just built with them by developer/etc.

I have cameras around the outside of my house. Not worried about crime (despite it seeming otherwise). I don't look at the video feed when people ring my doorbell.

Cameras have been helpful:
- Someone accidentally backed into my house. Camera caught it.
- Something was delivered that required my attention. Was able to walk back from another house to meet them (knowing they were at my door)
- Check out branches/etc. falling on my cars during high wind

The validation on the form page doesn’t require a valid url but when you hit submit the validation fails if the url is incorrect. When you click back to go correct it you can’t fix it because the submit button is still spinning.

Also requiring a title for a url doesn’t seem necessary, just use the domain as the title or the url itself if it’s empty.

Another advantage of a price-weighted stock index is that it's easier to track with a real portfolio because they don't need to rebalance as frequently. To replicate the performance of the DJIA you just have to buy one share of each stock and hold them, you only need to place trades when a company is added or removed from the index.

With a market cap weighted index you have to make more frequent trades every time a company does a buyback or issues new shares.

My big company strategy is to troll internal chats/forums for things that seem like interesting problems. Do something to fix them or make them suck a little less.

Always be building solid, interesting things and make sure that if someone, for some reason finds them, that they would say "wow, this is cool, who made this?"

Then I casually share links to those things in the right context. If I get a 10% hit rate then I'm happy.

Do this all day every day between assigned projects 9-5 and you'd be amazed at the network you can build outside your own team. Keeps the options open for lateral movement.
I really like the Linux package managers. If you're going to write an application that will run on some system, it's better to bake dependencies into it. And with virtualization and containerization, the system is not tied to a physical machine. I've been using containers (incus) more and more for real development purposes as I can use almost the same environment to deploy. I don't care much about the IDE, but I'm glad we have LSP, Tree-sitter, and DAP. The one thing I do not like is the proliferation of tooling version manager (NVM,..) instead of managing the environment itself (tied to the project).

The author may have missed that lexing C is actually context-sensitive, i.e. you need a symbol table: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexer_hack

Of course, for syntax highlighting this is only relevant if you want to highlight the multiplication operator differently from the dereferencing operator, or declarations differently from expressions.

More generally, however, I find it useful to highlight (say) types differently from variables or functions, which in some (most?) popular languages requires full parsing and symbol table information. Some IDEs therefore implement two levels of syntax highlighting, a basic one that only requires lexical information, and an extended one that kicks in when full grammar and type information becomes available.
