> Ha ha, my dude, the two kinds of land use restrictions are the same thing. He might not be a hypocrite per se but it’s meant to illuminate that his position boils down to “I’ve got mine.”

Your parent didn't say "those two cases are different," but rather "it's OK to be right about one thing and wrong on another." That someone has a blind spot for matters that affect him directly doesn't mean he's wrong about the matter that doesn't affect him directly (though of course it also doesn't mean he's right).
It doesn't work like that. I worked for a tech company in Germany and it went brankrupt. By contract I have 3 months notice period, and I got them. That's plenty of time to find another job (which I did). It goes both ways too (whenever I want to quit, I give my 3 months notice period).

I would hate it to have an "at-will" contract. Just thinking that my manager or his manager or whoever can just fire me the very same day because of who knows what is just awful.
Can someone clarify if they mean development environments, or if they're talking about a service that they sell that's related to development environments.

Because I don't understand most of the article if it's the former. How are things like performance are a concern for internal development environments? And why are so many things stateful - ideally there should be some kind of configuration/secret management solution so that deployments are consistent.

If it's the latter, then this is incredibly niche and maybe interesting, but unlikely to be applicable to anyone else.
I’m sorry but isn’t this on the town itself? If land use restrictions are preventing them from having a second grocery store, then change the law. Monopolies will act like monopolies and its up to the local government to do something about it.
“Free market” usually excludes the use of violence. Land use restrictions are backed by the government, which has the monopoly on legal violence and will arrest you for violating land use restrictions.

An average free market supporter would say this isn’t the free market working.

Yeah, just about every diagram you see online commits these sins. Probably because companies that create detailed diagrams don't make them public. What's left is mostly diagrams by tech companies (e.g. cloud providers) created specifically to promote the technologies themselves.
Lol it's funny how often I get "but rust is not for making crud", although I never said I was using it for that.
I think the context here is super important: I run an agency, and a lot of our clients are small startups or solopreneurs. The most important factors in determining their tech stack are (in some order):

* Time from idea to deployed solution
* Ease of pivot
* Ease of finding other devs who can take over

If I were a staff engineer at a large company with an existing tech stack tasked with spinning up some new internal microservice, I'm probably not choosing Rails.

But if I'm truly greenfield on a strict budget, still searching for product market fit? If that application ever truly outgrows rails (and it can become wildly successful without doing so --- look at stripe, instacart, github, shopify) then we've already won by surviving long enough for rails to be the problem.
> owner of the land sold it with restrictions that benefitted them. That's pretty much free market in a nutshell

This is an obvious grey area on the abrogation of property rights.

How about soups? If a soup has multiple steps, you can easily end up paying the cost of building up temp and releasing twice.

Of course for bone broth, you are still savings many many hours, but the math isn't as simple as "bones 25 minutes, release, potatoes 5 minutes, release, carrots 3 minutes, release."
supply chains logistics, capitalistic urges to throw out food instead of giving it away, zoning and HOA's preventing home gardens, coordinated rental hikes, none of those things are aligned with feeding people but instead aligned to bilk money from peoples' hunger (or shelter in the case of renting).

The farmer is relatively aligned financially with feeding people by comparison: they are paid money to grow food...

I don't understand your point or comparison.
So much work to avoid being upset at this guy: "But to offer its services explicitly as a replacement for striking workers was bound to be an unpopular move."

No, really? You'd think these AI guys would have better PR departments.
These sorts of land use restrictions should be illegal. It's basically a corporation trying to act as a pseudogovernment, enforcing regulations on land that they no longer own themselves.

One could argue that HOAs are kind of a similar issue, acting like a pseudogovernment, with restrictions on housing passing on down indefinitely, even to new owners who may not have wanted to agree to them (but with housing being as constrained as it is, you may not always have a realistic choice).

As a general rule, prior owners probably shouldn't be getting a say in what future owners do with land. Why? Because land is inherently limited in a way in which most other property is not, which reduces the ability of new entrants to 'disrupt' the market by offering people more choice.

If my town only has one car dealership with shitty business practices, no biggie, it's not too hard to go to another town and buy a car, then bring it back. But I can't buy land and bring it back to use it, I'm stuck with whatever's already there.
The fact Go has UB under data races has practical implications for sufficiently complex concurrent software. If you can induce a race on a non-trivial object, that's UB instantly - you can probably blow up the Go runtime and all bets are off.

I would not characterise this fact, which is a design choice in Go, as similar to say a Rust soundness bug, which will sooner or later just get fixed. They aren't going to somehow magically fix this problem in Go, it's part of the design.

A chillingly moving article that reminds me of what is important in life... to want to spend time with those I love that still live, and to remember those that don't.

As an aside- I'm also an academic and resent this sudden nonsense push to 'embrace AI' from people that have no clue what it even is. Some of my research is close enough to be getting renewed interest and funding from this... but I find it offensive the my same research ideas weren't interesting on their own merits a few years ago but only suddenly are now because they involve 'AI.' It suggests a frivolous trend following unbecoming of scientists.

I don't know what this author researches, but she deeply understands why technology needs to be aligned with human interests, and how to make sure it is. That seems to me something academic departments interested in AI research need now more than ever.

I've also always found this poem darkly captivating, because it imagines that positive humanizing technology will be possible but itself seems like a vision that would be infantilizing, and the author leaves it unclear on if they notice this or not, and if it is serious or dark satire.
For others, it's probably worth pointing that this person's account is about a day old and they have left no contact information for the author's of the paper to follow up with them on.

For "caetris2" I'll just use the same level of rigor and authenticity that you used in your comment when I say "you're full-of-shit/jealous and clearly misunderstood large portions of this paper".
> Land use restrictions are backed by the government, which has the monopoly on legal violence

No, free markets aren’t equivalent to anarchy and every state action isn’t tantamount to violence.

This is an ambiguity in the concept of free markets, which is why we’re having a linguistic versus conceptual discussion.
Wrong. Check their warranty online, they- like most other warranties- very deliberately leave out tires, vandalism, and problems with the electrical system.
Oh heck yes, this is absolutely my jam. I loathe digging around in Visio/LucidChart/etc because I am an absolute perfectionist with OCD-enhanced symmetry mandates, which is just a mouthy way of saying I spend way too much time obsessing over placement details and line thickness instead of just diagramming the dang architecture.

Bonus points it's running via Python, which gives me a reason to fire it up and kill two birds with one stone (I'm a PowerShell junkie, so my relationship to Python thus far has been "reluctantly professional").
Not at all. The natural end state of an unregulated market is monopolies. As demonstrated again and again throughout US history, with only anti-trust regulation bringing the monopolies to an end.
Not really true imo.

I speak from the experience of supervised the upgrade of thousands of services from JDK8 to JDK17

There’s few quirks added but:

1. JDK17 will happily run JDK8 code without any changes
2. Most of the issues I observed were due to project jigsaw (and were resolved by adding —add-opens as needed)

I would expect 17 > 21 upgrade to have basically no issues as an upgrade in place

I hate Java but backwards compatibility isn’t one of the reasons why I hate it
> Are there languages and frameworks that encourage/enforce The Right Thing in a more active way?

I don't think so, as evidenced by the fact that I'm still so pro Rails after a decade of doing this. But that doesn't mean we can't be vocal about the things that still suck.

> I like hash access with symbols

Oh, I vastly prefer symbol access to string access, but this is really a ruby problem, not a rails problem. The fact that I can pass `{ "foo" => "bar" }` and `{ foo: "bar" }`, and my method has to either call `with_indifferent_access` or _strictly_ enforce being called with one of the two access types is a huge footgun, because improper access doesn't result in an error, it just results in a `nil`.
The 4x price jump over the old Claude 3 Haiku was surprising, especially without image input support.

It’s cheaper than Opus but still a tough sell if you’re looking at CpT which for me gpt-4o-mini still can't be beat.
Yeah this has been an interesting development regarding drones.

I guess some sort of laser thing is probably most viable now if you consider a swarm of say 50-100 cheap drones. I would imagine they'd be susceptible to relatively lower levels of laser power than e.g
an ICBM, although they they are of course a smaller target
> Do you mean free market? Because I feel like land use restrictions are antithetical to a free market.

Depends, should you be "free" to offer terms on land you own, and to "free" to accept those terms when purchasing?

Whenever people talk about "free markets", it often embeds a sneaky internal contradiction between (A) the freedom to operate without worrying about secrets and strange restrictions, versus (B) the freedom to create secrets and strange restrictions on others.

That pattern is a pet-peeve of mine: People will celebrate a "free market" as being theoretically optimal when everyone has perfect information about prices and deals... Then the next day others will pooh-pooh concerns over cartels, because a "free market" enables defectors to make secret deals with hidden prices. I wouldn't be surprised if in some cases they ended up being the same people.

>If you really want to obsess over a few percent

You brought up the percentage of Jewish population, not me.
I just pointed out your mistake. Now you're suggesting it's not important by claiming I'm "obsessing over it"?

If in fact the size of Jewish population at the time isn't relevant to the point you're trying to make, why would you even bring it in the first place?

P.S. you again quote a wrong stat. The Zionism movement is considered to have started on 1897. At the time (1890), Jewish population was estimated to be 7.9%, not 3%.
In the same paragraph:

My point has nothing to do with whether the language will achieve "soundness". It's that this is behavior that has not over the last 15 years produced exploitable vulnerabilities, despite extremely high incentives for those vulnerabilities to be unearthed.

That's not whataboutism, it's inconsistency, and it's worth pointing out.

but wouldn't you rather be right on both? "but I'm at least right on one" seems like a pretty low bar to aim for.

The older I get the more I appreciate how important good nutrition is for basically everything in your life. I started focusing on it more for climbing where I kept getting injured, injury used to set limit for me, now I hardly ever get injured or it's far more subtle and manageable. I feel way stronger and happier, and noticed other parts of me generally feeling healthier. I've been climbing for a very long time so even though this is anecdotal, it's a very clear relationship to me, and this is supported by some of the leading climbers in the world who really get into the science of it.

It's hard to sell most people on this because nutrition is historically such a terrible science, but the western diet over the past 50 years has gradually set the bar so low, that it's incredibly easy to make substantial improvements for little effort by focusing on the basics of simply getting back onto natural foods for the core part of your diet. The bioscience of nutrition is complex, and the statistics of nutrition is fraught with misinterpretation and flat out bullshit, but it's bizarrely simple when you figure out the actual changes to make... meat, veg, eggs, dairy, all the things that have been villainized by the food industry. That people still think eating egg yolks is bad for you just reflects how poor public education is on this stuff, and how damaging all of the ancient missinformed and massively outdated WHO recommendations have been to public health.

algebra/gemetry/imaginary numbers as dual number concept staring with making 2 slide
rules out of a 2 similar circular item via using compass (10 equal slices) .
(aka identity unit & importance of continuity of units & number base / denominator in fractional notation / continutity)

Exchange one circle with someone else in class -- can you sill generate same slide rule results
as other students?[0][1][3]

note: square viewed on edge is a line!
note: circle start/end implied vs. linear scale has explicet stop/end point.
Unit circle from trig is "1".

Note: IF get rid of the 'circle arc' at bottom of triangle[2] & put into another "scale", then 1 "unit" is combined 'triangle' & circle arc fragment. Comput the 1 circle arc unit 'size' using trig less one unit triangle area.
Or do appropriate 'fold' to push the circle arc into different dimentional plane.

I think there’s probably a bit of survivorship bias here — we know if this anecdote because the ballot box concept is actually quite good. But of course there are other “rip offs” that are bad (blonic the hedgehog?). The idea to make a small change was clever imo, but doesn’t guarantee a great design. I think the ballot box design was either “lucky” or “inspired”, perhaps without the creator even realizing it.
So the majority of people want to keep it that way? Then it might just essentially boil down to democracy issues.

Companies on the other hand don’t get a vote. So if all grocery companies banded together and voted for a law to allow monopolies then it wouldn’t be the same thing as if all the humans voted for it. Companies do love to lobby though, but lobbying and voting are still two different things.

So if all the people in California banded together and voted to allow grocery chains to collaborate and split up areas to avoid competition, then I guess that would be mostly fine too.

I tossed $29.50 at this just for fun. I think this is a brilliant strategy to make money for Robin Hood but let's face it it's pure gambling on the outcome of the election. There is no market or futures in this that are anything tangible. Are you buy in and if you're chosen candidate wins then you get $1 for every share you bought. The other side gets nothing.

Of course it doesn't actually close out until January 6th. Since effectively the election will be decided tomorrow or the day after at the latest there's not going to be really any movement in this market after that time. So right now it looks like close to 200,000 shares have been sold. Robinhood gets to sit on those for 2 months and let's say make a fairly conservative 8 to 10% and then pay all the money back at the end. It's a fantastic way to get a zero interest loan from your people while your people get to gamble and do something fun.

How are HOAs any different than a city council, except on a smaller scale? In both cases they're democratically elected, and they enact restrictions that can't be opted out of.
