Absolutely wild that it's been linked to a french government fund. I mean it's hard to believe the potential political fallout could be worth what they would get out of it, so one presumes the top doesn't know what the bottom is doing.
If your todo list is becoming too long that’s when you need to break it by project and calendar frames (today, tomorrow, this week, next week, this month, next months). It’s a presentation problem, that you can solve with a task manager or a planner.

My giant pile is my inbox. I refile each task in one of the above boxes when I’m reviewing it. And when I’m doing, only today boxes is important (up 10 items where only two only 3 or 5 are inportant)

This is true. Smartphone apps in general started becoming dangerous on this count years ago, which is why I stopped being willing to install them. Ones meant to control devices tend to be even worse.
One interesting morsel in all of what you described is that for all of the hoop-jumping SpaceX does to bolster rt-Linux, it is -still- easier/faster/ better by some business metric for them than the alternative.

If the redundant hardware and some ground rules they have in place have made the onboarding of developers better and faster, than perhaps it should be recognized that they seem to be prioritizing the DX - especially since plenty of applications in RT will also use redundant hardware and confine their hardware selection similarly to prioritize the performance targets of their application, SpaceX just added developers to the feature matrix.

My Grandma doesn't have a need for backwards compatibility or the million other things that stop Apple from just making a new operating system.

Normal people's use cases for their computer is light file management, light document and productivity workflows and everything else is done in the browser. Hell, most of the document processing and productivity crap is in the browser these days too.
It's less effective at the OS wide level because the context is incredibly important. Notepad is used very differently from word processing and other applications. Even in the context of notepad- you're using that app very differently when working in python vs a readme.

AI is best integrated at the application level because the application developers are best suited to tune the algorithm and determine which pieces of context are most relevant.
An important part of leadership is explaining decisions so that everyone has sufficient understanding of the goals as well as their contributions necessary to achieving said goals. This also invites feedback that may improve the process of achieving the desired outcomes, or reveal that the decision conflicts with other initiatives.

I have a predictable response to leaders that cannot explain decision-making but instead hide behind hand-waving statements like "it's a gut feeling" and that response is "well then let's get a scalpel so we can share that with everyone else."
Why? It's a nice colour.

It's the same thing honestly. Facebook has a boatload of projects that have nothing to do with Web. They probably spend more on their ML stuff than any other department in terms of infrastructure / resources.

At one point I ran across the statistic that said that Facebook's internal network had more IP addresses than the entire public Internet. Maybe whoever claimed that exaggerated, but all the Web stuff Facebook has to offer doesn't need even a single percent of IP addresses of the entire Internet.

Also, as far as I know, Facebook has its own h/w ambitions. It builds its own h/w and equips its own datacenters with it. While this is definitely not their main business, h/w development is a lot more resource-intensive than s/w development when it comes to datcenter usage (when it's about developing datacenter h/w).
And I'm not a Trump fan. I'm not even American, and I think he's a fascist. But he is exploiting a vacuum left by others, that's for sure.

That's rather self critical of you, even if deserved.

My grandma also can't write software, or really do anything advanced, no should she be able to. SELinux, just like any other security and/or containerization technology, is supposed to be used by developers, sysadmins, distribution maintainers. Not by end users.

Is the macos sandbox the odd one out? I'm not familiar with it, but find it very hard to believe that "my grandma" is its target audience.
> Always Review AI-Suggested Code

So really the problem is a lack of code review... but I seem to recall that AI is decent at code review too. It won't spot state machine bugs, but SQL injections, no problem.

I've heard this argument from you before (on Twitter iirc) but I've been using Workers for 4 years now. Never, not even once, I have seen a Worker executing in Mexico. They always execute in DFW.

The CDN does cache stuff on QRO often but Workers and KV are a completely different story.

We're not on the free plan. We pay both for Workers and the CF domain plan.

Maybe all PoPs have the technical capacity to run Workers but if for whatever reason they don't, then it's irrelevant.
It seems you've confused postponing a strike with quashing a strike. Don't worry, all strikes in every industry will be quashed by Trump and Musk over the next 4 years.

Good luck to you.
Early medieval kings - like those of the Franks, the Visigoths or the Nordic people - were more often than not elected for life.

Arguably the distinction between royalty, nobility and commonfolk grew larger the longer the feudal system was in place, to the point where kings inherited entire countries by birthright at the end of the XVIII century.

It's a very simple and straightforward language, which I think is why people like it, but it's just a pain to use. It feels like it fights any attempt at using it to do things optimally or quickly.
The 12 hour formula is the only way you can get it OTC by itself. That’s because it’s a recreational drug that is commonly abused (“robo tripping”) and extended release prevents that. Otherwise you have to get it in a combo drug like NyQuil, which I don’t prefer because I can’t manage distinct symptoms and dosages independently with a combo
I hope you don't have the notion that global warming means global drying. Warmer ocean temperatures increase rate of water evaporation, which in turn increases rainfall.

Some regions will probably become dryer (just as some regions will probably become colder), but I doubt you've have a rational basis for a belief that Central America in particular is likely to be one of the regions that will become dryer.

Coding, just like woodworking, is about creating products and solutions. Craftsmanship, precision, and knowing your tools is possibly how you make better software more elegant, easier to maintain, etc.

My tribe is wrong. I expect it to be wrong.

I don't have a tribe because they're all correct. I have a tribe because I'm just one person, and I can't do anything by myself. So I make alliances with people with whom I can find common ground. I support their goals as best I can, even when they're wrong, because I think there will be a net benefit overall. That's an inevitable consequence of trying to govern a nation of 300,000,000 very disparate people.

Now... it just so happens that I think that the other "tribe" is not merely wrong, but deranged. That is an extremely uncomfortable place for me to be, and I very much do not wish to believe it. Unfortunately, I've been unable to avoid that conclusion.

They, of course, feel the same about me. Which means that at least one of us is right. I'm genuinely unclear on how to proceed about that.

I don't think it will be solved by making my tribe less wrong. All that accomplishes is to alienate my tribe and give me even fewer allies; it doesn't seem to attract me any new ones. There should be room for us to sincerely disagree. Being wrong is OK, as long as the overall process tends to settle on a reasonable-enough answer most of the time.

Unfortunately, that seems to much to ask, and I'm at a loss for a fallback.
> Well, right from the Agile manifesto

The Agile manifesto is great. It is simple, straightforward, and most importantly, it clearly defines itself as a statement of opinion, with a counterpart to each of its value. And yet so many people do exactly what the manifesto tells them not do to. Why? Just why? It is as if a clothing brand has "beach and sun over mountain and snow" as its value and people go to ski with them and complain that they get cold.

Agile is not on size fits all, sometimes you need comprehensive documentation for instance. In this case, just don't do Agile, the manifesto is really explicit in that it is not the right methodology for you. But for some reason, Agile is fashionable, so you take it anyways and try reshape it into the V-model you should have used in the first place and get the worst of both.
that sounds interesting. never heard of that. are those conductors passive? just a mesh of copper wire or sth like that?

Yeah dude. They only do this for greed. That said, a Micron 7450 Max is $270 for 800GB.
The quality control practices are not up to the devs, they're up to management. Management wants to cut corners or perform incomplete, automated tests rather than human driven qa. It's about cutting costs by cutting corners
"The world under heaven, after a long period of division, tends to unite; after a long period of union, tends to divide."

- Romance of the Three Kingdoms

It's really is kind of inevitable that this will happen. We've had unprecedented peace and prosperity for many decades. Everyone is getting rich and fat (relatively speaking) and more capable of projecting their power and protecting their interests. The unification of Europe (rebuilding, euro EU), the rise of China, the nuclearization of North Korea, etc. There is no governing body above states - its an anarchic system in that regard. It's just not possible to achieve full globalization and keep it. We'd need something to fundamentally change the game like competition with another world. Im not sure if you've noticed but the world order has been degrading since the 90's.

> In the old days, developers had to really know their stuff. Coding wasn’t just a checklist—it was a craft, and every line was written with care.

There's a name for seeing the past through rose-colored glasses, isn't there?

"In the old days" developers had various degrees of skill and care, as they do "in the new days".
> I’m convinced there’s a contingent of devs who don’t like/grok abstraction.

I am one of those. I grok abstractions just fine (have commercially written idiomatically obtuse Scala and C#, some Haskell for fun, etc.), but I don't enjoy them.

I use them, of course (writing everything in raw asm is unproductive for most tasks), but rather than getting that warm fuzzy feeling most programmers seem to get when they finish writing a fancy clever abstraction and it works on the first try, I get it when I look at a piece of code I've written and realize there is nothing extraneous to take away, that it is efficient and readable in the sense of being explicit and clear, rather than hiding all the complexity away in order to look pretty or maximize more abstract concerns (reusability, DRY, etc.).

This mindset is a very good fit for writing compute-heavy numerical code, GPU stuff and lots of systems level code, not so much for being a cog in a large team on enterprise web backends, so I mostly write numerical code for physics simulations. You can write many other things this way and get very fast and bloatfree websites or anything else, but it doesn't work well in large teams or people using "industry best practices". It also makes me prefer C to Rust.
Capitalism incentivizes the lowest cost implementation to maximize margin. This isn't surprising through that lens.

You can't compare Android to macOS. Compare Android to iOS, which had many more limitations built-in from the start than macOS.

Incidentally, this is why iPad has never become the desktop replacement everyone claimed it would be. The hardware is plenty powerful, but it's always been very limited by the software. The greater freedom and capabilities of macOS is a huge advantage for desktop-class functionality.

Strictly speaking, phenylphrine works when it’s injected. It is approved and used every day for this indication in the service of general anesthesia.

This is an example of using something off label that’s approved for something else. Sometimes it’s fine. And sometimes, it’s dumb.

Go is not a great language to write parsers in IMO, it just doesn't have anything that makes such a task nice. That being said, people seem to really dislike Go here, which is fine, but somewhat surprising. Go is extremely simple. If you take a look at it's creators pedigree, that should make a ton of sense: they want you to make small, focused utilities and systems that use message passing (typically via a network) as the primary means of scaling complexity. What I find odd about this is that it was originally intended as a C++ replacement.

Good to know. Both my Saturn and Dreamcast's optical disk drives have packed up, so I've been wondering what to do with them. The Saroo looks less invasive than the Satiator, and would leave me able to play my old games if I ever get the optical drives working. But since the Saroo blocks up the RAM expansion slot, does it also include that RAM for games that need it?
I imagine the explanation is a lot simpler and boring.

The french fund got some assets that they didn't know what to do with, so they just loaned it out to the highest bidder.

No, the person you were replying to was advocating for the intersection of ubiquitous features. C++ seems to be aiming for the union.
I would rather have lazy devs that actually ship shit to production than slow devs that drag what I could get done in 1 day out for entire sprints because they only communicate with each other for 30min tops per-day to unblock each other.

That this comes at the cost of "understanding" needs supporting evidence. Most devs I know only know 1 or 2 programming languages and their own special silo corner of the tech stack.

You're not paid to be not lazy or to learn in the most fulfilling way possible. You're paid to ship software that works.
I just thought it was a neat collection of FAAMG kissing the ring, and it's quoting them instead of using embeds. Didn't know what to do with the title though, so I just left it as is. But for me it's about the quotes, not the commentary on that page.
I think this is where it will go inevitably, with only specialized AI tools being features baked into products you like.

A lot of our opinions on AI (like the one you just conveyed) stems from now nascent the design thinking around AI truly is. Like early internet, I suspect 10 years from now the UX of these tools will be much more mature. There'll likely always be a need for what ChatGPT has now, but these do feel like OS features.

Ubuntu is actually a fantastic choice for those sorts of applications. Develop against the latest LTS (or the one in development if it will be released before your finished product is) and you'll have support for years.
This.

Not only can I corroborate this experience already in my workplace, even in my personal projects I can feel the effect.

The most striking example was I was learning a new language (fennel) and wanted to translate some existing code (Lua) as an initial exercise. It got the first few files fine, and I did feel like a double-checked them to make sure I understood, but only when it failed to make a conversion that worked properly did I realize I hadn't been learning really and still had no idea how to fix the code. I just had to write it by hand to really get it in my head and that 1 hand-written file have me more insight than 10 ai translated ones.

O, it looked better, had better design too because the ai just took the style of the existing file and transposed in whereas I was able to rethink the other files using the strengths of the new language instead
In other words, your grandma could use an iPad rather than a Mac.
Yeah, people did do overlays a lot on CP/M.

If you were using a 6502 or Z80 in the late 70s you wouldn't have to write the floating-point routines; you could just call the ones in the BASIC interpreter you probably had in ROM. They'd still be slow.

As for paging RAM, do you mean bank switching? The 8085 and Z80 didn't have MMUs, so you couldn't do "paging" in the sense people normally understand it today.

Man, Go gets a lot of hate on here. It's certainly not the most flexible language. If I want flexibility + speed, I tend to choose Nim for my projects. But for practical projects that I want other people to be able to pick up quickly, I usually opt for Go. I'm building a whole product manufacturing rendering system for my company, and the first-class parallelism and concurrency made it super pleasant.

I will say that the error propagation is a pain a lot of the time, but I can appreciate being forced to handle errors everywhere they pop up, explicitly.
