FSharp is OCaml to great extent. So if you don't have the need to stay away from MS/.NET, it is more 'open source' than the rest of MS products. MS did release Fsharp with an Open Source License.

But, it does still run on .NET.

At this point, isn't every major language controlled by one main corporate entity?

Except Python? But Python doesn't have algebraic types, or very complete pattern matching.
> I considered something like F# but I didn't like that it's tied to microsoft/.NET.

Could you explain your thought process when deciding to not use F# because it runs on top of .NET? (both of which are open-source, and .NET is what makes F# fast and usable in almost every domain)
Notepad++ is an alternative to Vim, so if you are using Vim you are covering most use cases of Notepad++ already.

In Windows i use Notepad++ so i don't have to use Vim (which is for me the only viable alternative of a lightweight "programmer's editor" and what i used for a while before learning about Notepad++ - everything else, like vscode, emacs, etc feel much more heavyweight) since i dislike its modal nature and non-standard[0] shortcuts.

[0] i know that technically they predate whatever Notepad++ uses but pretty much everything else (including on KDE, GNOME, most X11 toolkits, etc) uses the same or similar shortcuts and keys as Notepad++ so who came first is moot, it is what i am used to that matters

I've been through this and sucked hard. Never will I use a decongestant nasal spray again.

If there was a way to somehow sum up all of the suffering caused by these sprays from dependency (which lasts weeks, months, years even) and compare that with the suffering alleviated from a cold (which lasts a fews days), my bet is these cause more harm than good.
The line that surprises me:

I recall I don't know Rick meme instantly. It is obviously contrary. Always doing something on your own is the most expensive way, in my opinion.
Genuinely bilingual people, if they primarily come from the elite strata of Japanese society as the parent alleges, are not coming in as entry level employees, or even as middle management, but as upper management or consultants to upper management.

I’ve never heard of there being a shortage of vice presidents or managing directors before in any mid-size or larger company.
I would argue that in many ways (that vary from project to project) the duplicated efforts are a good thing overall. Now, instead of having one single group or person working on a particular topic, there are many and the knowledge, learning, experience, and expertise that comes from that isn't locked up with only a select few. That can be applied in more areas, used for more things, or carried into other endeavors. It also hedges against all that expertise being lost if the few experts of the original project abandon it for whatever reason.

I don't see all the efforts that go into *BSD, Windows, macOS, etc... as being wasted just because Linux is available, nor would I consider the effort to try something completely new in os/kernel design that starts from a clean slate a waste, even if it doesn't end up becoming wildly popular. Not everyone who has the capacity to work on a duplicate effort would be able to contribute to the original, and the original will never be able to perfectly meet the goals/needs of everyone.
I couldn't imagine running MacOS on a Mac as a host for services.

FOMO writ large?

An unstated assumption of this article is that we need recommenders, whether they be algorithmic or human. An alternative is to periodically sample from a wide variety of things, habits, and places, and otherwise to pay attention to (or even rabbit hole on) those which are the most congenial one has found thus far.

I know what you mean, but I don't have an answer myself.

Really the collateral damage in Ukraine is still ongoing, not in Tokyo for quite some time.

So it's tragically possible that Ukraine could end up worse than Tokyo by the time hostilities finally cease.

Maybe with Tokyo a closer equivalent might be if Ukraine attacked Moscow using a comparable approach, with a degree of disregard for collateral damage figured in. Although Russian strategy already seems to target any part of Kiev that can be hit, civilian or not.

Plus no two things like this are really on the same scale and it's never a direct comparison, but there's some common undercurrent that is either predatory or vengeful which sometimes can grow until it can't get much worse.

So what about prehistoric tribes, even pre-humans, who surely had occasionally completely massacred victim tribes from time to time, not much differently than pack animals have always been known to do.

Total extermination like that could be rapidly completed with no weapons of mass destruction or even gunpowder.

Isn't there some possibility that this tendency has been retained evolutionarily or culturally to some extent today, even though most people would say that's just the opposite of "humanity".

Passed down in an unbroken chain in some way?

Ironically the project we were on was components for the the most advanced projectile of its caliber, yet to come. Both of us would have liked to build something else, but most opportunities across-the-board affecting all ages had already evaporated due to inflation of the 1970's, and the runaway years hadn't even gotten there yet.

I'm impressed that you are able to keep track of so many things over an extended period, considering that apparently 3.5 hours are long enough for you to forget a question that you asked.

Let's recap.

You:> A calendar isn't a bad idea, but I assume GP has ways of making sure they do all those other things. What's different about a domain registration?

where "all those other things" are paying a mortgage, going to work, paying utility bills, getting food, putting gas in your vehicle, etc.

2.5 hours later, HeatrayEnjoyer responded:

> Those examples have tangible real world effects before they become permanently irreversible.

An hour later you then said:

You:> And losing access to your email/other domain assets doesn't have "tangible, real world effects"?

At this time, a mere 3.5 hours after your question you seem to have forgotten that you asked it. If you had remembered that they were answering your question, which to remind you (in case you've forgotten it again over the course of reading this comment) was how do people make sure they do those other things yet forget to handle domain renewal.

You would then have realized he's not saying that losing a domain doesn't have tangible, real world effects. He's explaining that the difference is the timing of those effects.

In fact many people do sometimes forget to do those other things. But those other things are all easy to correct with little or no negative consequences when they forget so the penalty is small for not developing an ironclad system to never forget them.

For example if they forget to pick up groceries on the way home from work and then the next morning find that they don't have food for breakfast the consequences might be something like they have to skip breakfast that day if they don't have time to go out for food before they have to be at work.

My favorite book about the Brothers Grimm is "Fairy Tales: A New History" by Ruth B. Bottigheimer.

She argues persuasively that the conventional origin normally told about the Grimm's fairy tales—-that they were recited by old peasant women remembering the ancient oral folktales of the Germanic people—-is not really true.

In fact the tales mainly came from middle class storytellers. And the two most important sources of the Grimm's tales were two Italian literary story collections from the Renaissance by Giovanni Straparola and Giambattista Basile.

It upended a lot of what I thought I knew about the origins of fairy tales.

Why does it matter that they aren't available to OEMs? This is moving the goalpost from your original argument.

The second part of your argument is currently correct but that will change shortly. There is no reason to lock into the apple ecosystem. M4 support is underway in Linux though not yet available. You can easily use a Mac mini as a server running Linux.
I've tried with some ppt images rather than Clevr ones and it does much better. It can count circles and triangles and differentiates between them quite well. It can recognise the colours of the objects as well.

I think that the faux 3d of clevr images is too much for the model, it's interesting because much smaller pre-transformer specialist models were very good at clevr.
You can use a combination of auto-save-visited-mode (this will save to the actual file, rather than a backup) and gitwatch to auto commit all changes. It should prevent most forms data loss or desynchronization.

> I don't see the usecase for Notepad++ personally speaking

Then don't use it. For sure regular notepad works fine for quick text edit. The use case for notepad++ is for when you want to do more than that. I, for example, frequently have to do a bunch of more complicated things to plain text files and notepad++ works great for those where notepad has no chance.
No methodology will get good work out of bad people.

Yes, agreed, i was more referring to whether a particular server instance for example implemented X or Y extension from the base xmpp protocol...and you'd want to ensure that whatever client and server combo is aligned to support those X and Y extensions. That's all i meant.
I do wonder how many people do not take care of the basics and instead go for anti-depressants and Ozempic.

Bear in mind that for many people therapies like SSRIs and weight loss medications (or even counselling/therapy) can get them into the right mental and physical place to start doing more exercise and eat better.

It's easy to advise people to eat well and exercise, but it can be a bit like telling a miserable person with a migraine to smile more. Improve the underlying issue artifically, then they can have a better chance of starting the natural things. Doctors do need to do both, though, merely handing out medications without encouraging the next step is irresponsible IMO.

> I should be able to rely on clean water coming out of the tap all the time, with minimal effort (paying fair bills) on my part. [...] If it is more expensive, then that's the true cost that just has to be paid.

Thankfully all these tech products are services you can pay for to be reliable!

It's an interesting perspective to compare the different economies, but the pain point isn't so much classic products you pay for but the ones you rely on without having any say about your access because you're the product being sold. Being the product means Google etc. need to make it work for 98% of the people, the default cases, because otherwise they lose a lot of people that could have made them money (from app developers' transaction cuts, advertisers paying for impressions, etc.) as well as to prevent that a competitor can easily do better, but it doesn't mean they lose sleep over losing your custom specifically. It's not tied to any tangible amount

An individual's value is very variable, especially when they try to avoid a dependency on these tech products and essentially only cost money because they make minimal use of it. People like me are the easiest to cut off, and that's where a society's dependency hurts: I am not here by choice, I actually need this (e.g. a transport app from an app store to buy tickets or unlock vehicles or request rides: I need at least one of these to reasonably get around in a city and there is no alternative)
I will always maintain that browsers and maybe even the OS should ship with a set of popular and well used fonts instead of just the same five """system""" fonts. Serving Inter, Open Sans, Roboto, Lato, and the like over and over and over and over does nothing except waste electricity.

This is usually the point where whataboutism strikes and people "require" conversations around what constitutes a popular font. Browsers are already full of analytics and can record this. Google Fonts serves probably billions of font requests a day, so they can record this.

Have the usual Big Tech bunch agree to start shipping the top, say 100, most popular fonts in their OS and/or browsers.

The missing context here is that their company looks to be a very small team - 5 employees according to LinkedIn.

Any process or methodology, or lack of, will work for a small sized company. At that size you get things done by just talking with each other. That doesn't scale to companies with hundreds or thousands of employees where multiple teams that you've never interacted with before may be involved in a project. These "throw out the processes and methodologies" articles are always written by people at small companies. Once they grow, they'll implement the same processes that everyone else uses to solve the problem of becoming too chaotic.
For their own needs, yes. For the purposes of satisfying the goals of government regulations, no.

If there is one single reliable fact that I wish was repeated more often in this kind of discussions is that news papers and media companies will cater to the demographics of their core audience. Left, right, center, young, old, male, female, city, rural, and so on. Consumers will self select towards publishers which they agree with, and publishers will cater to that which more reliable generates revenue and views.

Meta studies often illustrate this well, but one can also do this on an individual level. Seek up reliable sources which opposing core audience compared to ones own demographic and it becomes obvious how horribly wrong they seem with miss leading statements, omissions, weasel words, emotional labeled meanings, mixed with with straight falsehoods.

The only trustworthy sources are multiple sources, and even then we are likely to fail since we are going to be searching for confirmation of what we already believe to be true. Social media do not usually help here, through Wikipedia seems to be a fairly good starting point (especially the talk pages are good to see where different reliable sources disagrees the most).

One of the photo shows his highly concentration. I have a hypothesis that many world class masters have talent to get into "Flow State". Juggling is one of the activity that associate with the state.

Another example is DHH who created RoR eventually became professional sport car racer.

It's well know that in sports area, many top players have the talent. My guess is it's also applicable on "mind sports".

Yup. I recall that at some point maybe a year ago, pretty much every other LLM thread that had people speculating whether some LLM could do X or Y / improved or worsened for Z / etc., would have Paul show up and comment something along the lines, "Actually, I've benchmarked this thoroughly in my work on Aider; here's <link to data and analysis>" or such. Those were usually some of the most insightful comments in the whole thread.

I found those comments, and the work they linked to, especially valuable because it's rare to see advanced work on LLM applications done and talked about in the open. Everyone else doing equivalent work seems to want to make a startup out of it, so all we usually get is weekend hacks that stall out quickly.

Any extreme has it's own inefficiencies.

Take a hopelessly disorganized team, apply any, literally any, management framework on top of that team and productivity will increase.

Since management frameworks do not contain intrinsic fixpoints, keep applying the framework and things will halt to a stop, because whole effort will be spent serving the framework. Ditch the framework, start doing random stuff and productivity will magically increase.

The pendulum continues to swing, unbothered.
I’m convinced there’s a contingent of devs who don’t like/grok abstraction. And it overlaps partially with stated goals of an easy language to onboard inexperienced devs with.
