Org mode is a markup language in the same way as Emacs is just an editor. Both are true but do not tell the whole story. Org is a plain text application framework built on top of Emacs platform.

My favorite is Org Babel (jupyter notebooks on steroids) that can be used for literate programming that you mentioned (reproducible research, devops-y tasks).

Publishing is just one of many applications. There are certainly cases where you might want a more specialized tool.
So if I’m told I have an A type personality and am also often called an A hole does that mean I can concatenate both to create the compound condition of having type holes?

How large is the company you work for? In mine, I can't imagine wanting to "feel the leaders I work for and with" - the very idea of working with them feels like jumping 5 steps up and 2 steps sideways in the corporate org chart.

It was different before acquisition, back when the 90% of the company fit on one floor of an office building, and the CEO was someone you passed by regularly, and who contributed actual engineering. But company this kind and size, they don't do "all-hands" and "town squares" videocalls...
I daily-drive Emacs, and write my website/blog [1] in org-mode, but I use pandoc to compile org to HTML [2]... This choice was critical for me. I did not want my publishing workflow to depend on Emacs!

It's true that Emacs is the canonical Org-Mode compiler, but there are many other compilers, including Github pages. If it's typesetting you want, the support is widely available. If it is org-mode-powered workflows (like TODOs etc.), then support outside of Emacs is narrower, but still quite serviceable [3].

Former Bayesian captain on sinking, vessel ballast and stability
My teens aren’t outliers, and we’re not talking about public policy. We’re talking about an influence campaign that actually doesn’t have reliable evidence about aggregate behaviour patterns, it just has an agenda.
Reminds me of the contrast between a small Bayesian Modeling conference that was a discourse chat and a big one of a snake themed programming language. They had a custom game where ypu could walk around, a custom video player and all sorts of fancy stuff.

Obviously the discourse conference worked great and the other one was an unmitigated disaster. The tech didn’t work, the talks were bad and the interaction was 0. Only a few influencers hyping themselves.
The current HN Title* badly misrepresents the article:

> US Army should ditch tanks for AI drones, says Eric Schmidt

> And what do you know, Google's former CEO just so happens to have a commercial solution

> Former Google chief Eric Schmidt thinks the US Army should expunge "useless" tanks and replace them with AI-powered drones instead.

> Speaking at the Future Investment Initiative in Saudi Arabia this week, he said: "I read somewhere that the US had thousands and thousands of tanks stored somewhere," adding, "Give them away. Buy a drone instead."

> Did we mention that Schmidt is the founder of a startup called White Stork that aims to develop AI-driven attack drones? ...

Even if you're unfamiliar with The Register, they are obviously distancing themselves from Schmidt's words, and mocking his objectivity. Later in the article, they quote an actual military expert - who does not agree with Schmidt.

*That HN Title is "US Army should ditch tanks for AI drones"

I do remember it was a large 2D barcode. Like QR but with a square in the middle. (AZTEC?)

I was trying random barcodes I had lying around to test my own component. The one with the zero byte happened to be a large one they had added to my passport when I visited the USA. It had "US-VISIT" printed next to it in big letters.

The device was a rugged industrial handheld device with a screen and a camera, designed for mailrooms and warehouses. This was around 20 years ago and I remember the OS (including the barcode component) was completely bespoke and it ran without any process protections. This meant that the barcode would crash the whole device and you had to perform a hard reset.
A basis yes, but not orthogonal.

In response to this, I'd like to highlight what I wrote:

> We then need to lean on data and experience of what the trade offs of those changes would be.

As engineering leaders, this is a key part of our job. We don't just blindly add processes to prevent every issue. I should add that we also need to analyse our existing processes to see what should change or is not needed any more.

I wouldn't blame the pilot for ejecting after loosing navigation capabilities, the HUD and the PFD during a missed approach. That means you're in very bad weather and lost the two primary means to control the aircraft and ensure you're not hitting terrain. At low altitude, in instrument conditions, considering this a loss of control seems logical. Best decision is to eject.

Sure, sitting on the ground knowing the backup instruments were correct you could decide to keep on flying. Same for any civilian aircraft, we would trust the backup instruments and keep flying, because we don't have ejection as an option.

But for a fighter jet I think the training in an emergency is "when in doubt, eject" they don't want to loose pilots over staying with the aircraft for too long.

Also, this is amusing:

> The loss of positive radar contact with the mishap aircraft resulted from a failed transponder caused by the electrical malfunction and the aircraft’s eventual descent below the air-traffic control radar horizon. The loss of positive contact could also be partially attributed to the F-35B’s low-observable technology.”

If you turn the transponder off on an F35 it's supposed to be nearly invisible. So things worked as designed.

I've heard several hypotheses for which evolutionary pressures took away our natural body fur and how we got clothing in the first place, but for all the ones I've heard, if we are so resource unbounded that any of the other options makes sense then we may well also be so unbounded as to return to the absence of clothing entirely.

More like living costs would balloon. And farm workers would become middle class. Which IMO makes sense, since it’s a damn hard job.

Land price would also balloon.

Or local farming would collapse and 99% of food would be imported. But massive import taxes are more likely since this is national security question.
It's not about interactions. Sure, some people prefer or respond better to talk than to reading, or video, etc. But if the execs can't articulate their plan in writing, and can only explain it over words, it's a good indication they don't understand it themselves and it's probably nonsense - for the same reason your exciting, beautiful solution to a programming problem falls apart when you're three lines into writing it down.

FOSS, en mass, probably doesn't do MISRA or consistent testing, relies on random people, may not sign code or artifacts, and could take a hobby/complacency attitude. For software deemed "critical", the feds are free to donate money and assistance to help critical projects formalize and improve themselves rather than proclaiming unfunded mandates on volunteers.
Well if you don't do that, you would only have a lowest common denominator system with none of the advanced features, and the world has enough of those.

If I wanted to emulate a fraction of org-mode features I use daily in markdown, I would have to use Obsidian with a bunch of plugins, and we would end up in same boat.

I don't know the exact spec situation, but I know that comprehensive parsing libraries in modern non-elisp languages exist. An org-mode contributor has one in Julia[1], another in Dart[2] that powers a Flutter app, and there are many tree-sitter grammar based tools that are useable from neovim (e.g. [3]). The basic org2html or org2pdf CLI needs are already addressed by Pandoc.

> What is the point of an online conference?

The article seems to be written from the standpoint of a conference organiser. Which is quite different than the perspective of a learner.

As someone who hasn't attended a single tech conference in my life, yet watched hundreds of recorded talks, I think the point of an online conference is to create an occasion for people to produce high-quality content in their field that others will enjoy watching. I would, of course, prefer that these people created such content regularly, without needing to be prompted by the occasion of a conference, but very few do.
Thanks I find it not so hard already good results with only little code and time (thanks to llm for the draft).
It misses a ton of functionality compared to the current .NET (Core), but it does not miss much compared to .NET Framework 4.8. The reason why source generators require it is because they may be run by Visual Studio, which is built on top of the classic .NET Framework. .NET Standard 2.0 is a good trade-off IMO if you need to support both the classic Framework and the modern .NET.
So wouldn't an aggregate, like an LLM, be the best tool here?

Management can be good. Few engineers in a startup are doing it too, they just don't call it that.
> Parents who can afford it take their kids out of the default public school and take them to a magnet, charter, or private school.

I think it’s pointless to try to prevent this. Try to block it and parents who can afford to will just move to where the public schools are good.

There’s no level of forced equality (other than everyone living in abject squalor) where there won’t be a spread of resources and some will choose to direct theirs in less or more long-term productive ways.

Amazing that it took this long for Australian mathematics to prove that finite < infinite.
> Processes are the cheap bandaid to fix design, architectural and cultural issues.

They can be, yes. I have a friend that thinks I'm totally insane by wanting to release code to production multiple times a day. His sweet spot is once every 2 weeks because he wants QA to check over every change. Most of his employers can manage once a month at best, and once a quarter is more typical.

> Most of the net positive micro-reforms that we had after incident reviews were the ones that invested in safety nets, faster recoveries, and guardrailing than a new process and will tax everyone.

I 100% agree with this. Your comment also reminded me to say that incident reviews are necessary but not sufficient. You also need engineering leadership reviewing at a higher-level to make bigger organisational or technical changes to further improve things.
> I can remember how many fiercely argued 2 years ago that GenAI and Copilot are producing garbage. But here we are: These systems improve the workflow of creating / editing code enormously

This is the disconnect. I, along with others, haven't seen this yet. I'm begging to see it because I'd love to automate my work away, but I can't. This comment comes off as hand-wavy to me because it says "here we are" as if Google saying their AI works is evidence itself and not a statement that requires evidence.
> Sure. let's make food more expensive for poor people.

The magic of deposit refund system is that you only pay more once. Plus really poor people can actually collect unreturned items to make some change. Have you ever considered how things worked before plastic?

That much is pretty clear.

I’m very happy to see that you are able to claw at anything so that your initial impossible as actually been exposed as entirely possible. I think it’s nice that you are so afraid of change you can’t even fathom taking such large steps as using reusable containers to limit trash.
Hey, he passed way in this incident.
DDG is using bing as index. Though it tweaks its algorithm a bit. Using it instead of Google for this purpose is not something I'd advise. Duck duck go's goal is not to improve the search results but to make the experience more private.
What if the employer was charged a subscription fee, instead of waiting until they find a hire to charge? Then the incentive is for the company to find a hire quickly, since they're now paying per month instead of per head. Some companies will balk at this, obviously, since existing services charge them per head and they don't know how fast a viable hire will appear...but I'd guess that this would be highly effective at weeding out 'employers' who have no interest in employing any new hires.

(Also, seconding the part about grifts where a candidate is charged upfront. Charging upfront for access to training materials, equipment, or some kind of licensing agreement is often a sign that you're about to get roped into a multi-level marketing scam.)
Can you please share your favorite high quality content creators? This is something I am chasing and I’m curious what you consider good content.

This is unfortunately not true. I have a little channel and there have been times when searching for the exact title of some of my videos did not return it in the results at all (searching with quotes or not). Cannot reproduce now because the search algorithm has now started liking me.

It's not obvious to quite a lot of people. The fact that government revenues can go down when taxes go up, or go up when taxes go down, is regularly treated as a shocking revelation in forums like the Guardian. As the article states, macroeconomic modelling has for a long time basically assumed that people won't react rationally in the face of government policy changes, sometimes because they implicitly assume global government (i.e. the models don't handle the possibility of people leaving).
The reason I asked what country you are from is because this does not match my experience growing up and living in various countries around the world, including briefly in the US in the early 2000s. From my perspective the low fat diet trend peaked in the 1980s. It is possible that in the US today there has been some kind of resurgence, but doing a quick web search does not suggest that to be the case.

Just a small selection of the top hits...

NPR in 2014 had a piece suggesting that the fad peaked in the early 90s and was long over by the mid-2000s: https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/03/28/295332576/wh...

PBS in 2004, saying this was a 1990s trend: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/diet/themes/l...

The Mayo Clinic mentioning in passing that "the fat-free and low-fat diet trend is a thing of the past - 80s and 90s to be exact": https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speak...

Meanwhile the Wikipedia page on fad diets also specifically mentions the primary diet trends of the mid 90s through early 2000s being low-carb, not low-fat (Atkins, Zone, South Beach, Paleo etc): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fad_diet

It is for these reasons that I am surprised to hear there are still places in the world where low fat diets are advocated, and specifically (in the context of this article) pushed on children.
Trump created huge delays and people I worked with that went on vacation were stuck in India. Lots of companies were put on notice for abusing H1B and legitimate candidates were impacted.

Yep yep, exactly this. When an incident review reveals a fluke that flew past all the reasonable safeguards, a case that the team may have acknowledged when implementing those safeguards. Sometimes those safeguards are still adequate, as you can’t mitigate 100% of accidents, and it’s not worth it to try!

I’d go further to say that it’s a trap to try, it’s obvious that you can’t get 100% reliability, but people still feel uneasy with doing nothing
