Yep. I make up for the lost coding time in the evening. But totally understand the ability to do that is very life dependent. Like some Saturdays I put in a full 8 on other coding projects (open source, personal things, work related code) just to scratch that itch.
I imagine this person got some level of enjoyment from working on this project and then seeing the end result, likely some enjoyment as well everytime they use it, or even just look at it.

Seems you are so busy you forgot what a hobby is and the enjoyment it can bring.

You're on track in your arguments but don't underestimate how hard the puzzles in ARC actually are.

It takes a considerable amount of depth in reasoning to see and reason about the patterns / problems / solutions.

Try doing a few of them by hand to see what I mean.

Simulated worlds are complex enough to hide their own flaws just like LLMs are complex enough to lead us to believe they can reason when most of the time they are pattern matching.
Not only is this a metric that doesn’t make any sense, simply floating the concept that this metric corresponds to anything in real life is harmful.

Teams are social constructs, and you simply cannot apply an algo to some observable code metric and get any kind of proper result. People leave, others step up, or don’t. End of story.

The problem with these kinds of metrics is that even if people know they are ridiculously off what they mean, some still think that the idea they convey is correct: ie. That if x people were to leave, the project would stall. That premise is simply not true.

Don’t even think about this stuff. It’s stupid. If you want to know more about these risks, talk to the team. People on the team know if anyone is irreplaceable.
It says near the db, not necessarily in it.

Anecdotally speaking, Spotify has become a sort of cultural default for a bunch of people.

If you're in a DM or a group chat, you may not hear "You should listen to X by Y" but rather "Check this out: https://open.spotify.com/blah"

At my current workplace and a previous one, both had Slack channels for sharing music and they were 99% Spotify links.

Partly because of genuine Spotify usage but even not using Spotify at the time, I would find the Spotify equivalent for my own recommendations (to reduce friction for the majority so they'd be more likely to actually listen to the recommendation)

Presumably for those few users not using Spotify, rather than having to find the equivalent song via text search, which may or may not contain a result for Provider Z, this service straight up just converts the Spotify link you've been given into all of the other provider equivalents.
Hah! Good man. Appreciate the sense of humor.

As I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, I've got a nonzero chance of getting it one day. I'm not afraid, just hoping I'd be able to contribute to eradicating it from the world in some way.
I think what OP is suggesting is that this technical barrier artificial as it may have been helped foster community. I feel the same way as them!

I think a more important stat is what percentage of new users in Week n has logged in again after Week n + 56 days.
I think this train of thought is why I now have to deal with four UI libraries in the same small-feature-set product, including three different ways of styling a React component.

I think that a more accurate mental model would accept that a team sometimes has no idea whether a change will get them 80% of the way there with 20% of the effort, get them 20% of the way there with 80% of the effort, do something somewhere in the middle, have zero impact, or even make the product worse.
The extra irony here is that both apps built their own, entirely custom UIs rather than settle for dependencies on existing kits... The big difference with GIMP was that its toolkit was built to be separable from the rest of the app and eventually became its own project, while Blender's is just ... Blender.

I suspect if you described the architecture of the two apps without naming them, most devs would predict disaster for the latter. But as you say, it has not worked out this way; indeed, GTK has repeatedly dropped or... gimped... functionality that originally existed to facilitate productive interaction with the GIMP UI (such as fast custom shortcut keys), while Blender's UI remains bespoke and quirky, but also insanely powerful.
> You're doing a classic "you must not get it" bit when people find an attempt at humour stupid if not distasteful

I’m not, the couple links I’ve seen here, including this one, have been written as if the ads aren’t intended to be funny, and judge (and describe) them as if the ads are trying to straightforwardly communicate something, rather than being a particular common sort of humorous ad—and, perhaps, failing at what they’re trying to say and communicating the wrong thing, or being bad for other reasons, but that’s not how this piece comes across.

I’m not wondering if everyone who doesn’t like them didn’t understand them, but whether the ones bothering to blog about it are misreading the ads? Has it just been the links I’ve happened to have followed on the topic here?

> Also, a pilot blaming procedure for a bad call is ass covering.

Huh, is that a specific thing for military pilots? Just watched the latest MentourPilot's video and there the french equivalent of the FAA found that the pilots were told to improvise too much, and should have followed the procedures better.

Isn't this a catch22 with hindsight based judgement?

To me, it's not a gotcha. As the github issue discussion notices, loops where the semantics depend on the identity of the loop variable to remain the same over the 3-clause loop iteration is exceedingly rare. I'd also say it's contrived and should not pass a code review.

Funnily, a 3-clause loop in Go (and in C) is actually a reduce(), where the loop variable's value, possibly touched by the iteration, is then directed back to the next iteration. This makes it more powerful (e.g. can traverse graphs, etc), but also more complex than it looks in the case of an integer and increment.
Probably, but I'm always hoping to hear a story about a company laying off a highly valuable employee(s) (usually for cost-cutting reasons) and then going bankrupt as a result.

> The Bus Factor is how hard your team would suffer if you - or anyone else on the team - got hit by a bus.

> Ideal Bus Factor for all team members is 0. This might sound counter-intuitive at first, almost like "make everybody expendable", but it's quite the opposite and kind of the point.

I've always heard bus factor described in the inverse fashion, as in "how many people would need to get hit by a bus for the project not to be able to continue", with the optimal number being the same as the number of people on the team. It sounds like the idea is the same, but I'm surprised to find out that the number people to convey the concept isn't always the same.

this has happened to me once, appropriately enough with some hauntology tracks. the songs are weirdly enough still available in the ios app to play but not to download via the web. presumably they're still somewhere in bandcamp behind a boolean, but i never got around to downloading them (to be fair, i have them on a _cassette_ that originally included bandcamp codes, so i mean, i really can't complain, i knew what i was getting into)
I'm assuming you're mistaken, given it provided herd immunity. It definitely reduces your chances of getting it. Reducing the impact also means you spread it less.

This is a reasonably good if somewhat depressing blog post about how to do well in the performance cycle at a big company. Now part of that is shipping product, but that’s pretty clearly of secondary concern for the author.

I think federal elections should be run by the federal government, not the states. Dramatically increase the number of voting locations, and have the federal government manage all of that under federal rules. That would be the safest and most secure way of doing federal elections. This thing of leaving it up to states and local communities introduces to many opportunities for fraud and mismanagement. Countries the size of California seem to have no problem counting their votes in one night. Delays are not healthy for democracy and there is never enough transparency.

I guess Congress could pass a law that every state must have their votes counted within 72 hours, or votes after that will not count.
I think that’s just to make the shafting a little bit softer. You are still being shafted for valuing your own life over an expensive airplane.

Always blows my mind how much time we waste talking about Git instead of just using it properly. Cheatsheet:

- It's distributed horticulture. Your tools come saran-wrapped to the tree.

- Rebase flow. Keep your branches linear.

- Merge commits are BS

- There is no source control problem that rebase, rebase --onto, reset, and reflog can't fix

- Topology is everything. Add this to your aliases: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1838873/visualizing-bran...

TL;DR: Keep your branches up to date. Feature flags are a huge red flag. Constant conflicts and the inability to have long lived branches is indicative of poor architecture and project layout.

Use "rerere" as a bandaid.

I've been in GA since 1998. How they differ is fundamentally this: you can't drink your entire week's wages worth of alcohol in a week. You can gamble your entire week's wages in a few minutes. An alcoholic or drug addict cannot indefinitely hide their habit due to the physiological effects that eventually become apparent. Compulsive gamblers can keep gambling for years, appearing to all like a functioning member of society, gambling way beyond their means before they get caught. Gambling addicts that turn to crime typically commit the biggest/longest running thefts/fraud. Gambling addiction has the highest suicide rate by far.

I agree with you, but I would hope they would enforce California's rules, not Florida's. California's rules are designed to make voting as accessible as possible to the greatest number of people, and to make sure every vote is properly counted.

States that finish counting in a day are throwing away and disenfranchising a lot of voters.

There is no such thing as a "federal election"

> "To all those who say this article is fake – It’s not, it’s very real, it’s very disturbing, and it says out loud what woke policies are secretly about"

Even if the article wasn't obviously fake, it's disappointing that someone could just jump to the conclusion that a random internet person's crazy opinion is somehow speaks for entire movements.

The irony here is that Musk spent decades being (apparently mistakenly) dumped into the tree-hugging, super-liberal, environmentalist camp. And yet he would probably think it was crazy to assume Tesla was part of some sort of woke agenda.

I don't care what your politics are, you should give your fellow humans the benefit of the doubt and not just jump to the craziest conspiratorial version of someone else's side.
I made an AI for my native language Assamese
Hi everyone, check out my project Aakhor AI: https://aakhor.in

I come from Assam, India. Assamese is my native language. We do not have good solutions for unicode based Assamese typing. So I decided to develop Aakhor, a cross platform desktop app for easy Assamese typing. Aakhor is powered by an on-device transformer based neural net for English to Assamese transliteration.

Training the model was a struggle since I couldn't find any datasets available for training. So I asked my friends to volunteer for a data collection effort through a gamified data collection portal. The model training was done in my local computer with an rtx 3060.

Assamese is one of the 22 scheduled languages in India. Even then, my language has not seen much light in terms of advancements in AI, compared to other mainstream languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Gujrati or Bengali. Moreover, there are other North Eastern regional languages such as Bodo, Rabha, Karbi and Khasi, which stand further back.

My goal is to expand my app to include other regional languages in North East India. So, if you're willing to contribute, please get in touch with me at kabyaniltalukdarindia@gmail.com.

Any feedback/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

I'd argue that the apparent toxic nature of online politics is due to the design of the platforms hosting it (including the susceptibility of those platforms to manipulation by foreign govts and billionaires). There are a few different discussion platforms (e.g., vTaiwan) which are explicitly designed to help users converge on shared solutions rather than polarize them--we could simply encourage people to use those instead.
Pick any other EV maker than Tesla.
I don’t think the article is overcomplicating the Git commands to falsely represent how complicated Git is. I can easily believe that in some contexts, a Git user really would need to do all the steps the author describes.

> 1) do your test in your current branch, it's related to what you are doing.

The article describes a scenario where you “feel reasonably assured that green CI will mean you’re on the right track, and you’ve been removing parts of the old parser as you introduce the new”. But this one parser feature you discovered was not under test. “The original parser is half-taken to bits,” so perhaps you already deleted the implementation of that feature, not knowing it was depended on. If the implementation were missing, of course you couldn’t test it on your current branch.

Okay, let’s say you didn’t delete the implementation yet – but the implementation calls some of the methods you already modified. If you write a test on your current branch, it would only show that your already-modified parser passes the test. You couldn’t be confident that the expectations in the test you wrote actually match the behavior of the old parser. If the old parser acted differently from your tests (even if it was due to a bug), you need to know about that so you can update callers of the old parser to not rely on that behavior any more.

To be confident that your new test accurately describes behavior you need to support, you need to run the new test against the “develop” branch.

> 2) … You're going to squash rebase at the end anyway...

Why would you assume that? Some teams prefer to express changes as a series of independent commits when possible, and they merge PRs while keeping those individual commits. My current team is one example. On such teams, keeping a Git feature branch’s history organized is a real need.

If you wonder why a team wouldn’t just squash rebase, I think the goals of keeping commits separate on the main branch are to make debugging tools such as `git log`, `git blame`, and `git bisect` more useful.

While I happen to completely agree (I'm old enough to remember the "butterfly ballot" that resulted in George W Bush winning over Gore), your suggestion would require a constitutional amendment.

mRNA doesn't stay in the injection area. Most of it ends up in the liver, and that was known since before the mRNA vaccine development.

That's also why the first mRNA gene therapies are targeting inheritable liver diseases.

Sounds like they're doing it right to me. Let's not succumb to populist voices that complain paper ballot counting is "archaic", "expensive" and "slow". In fact, it is all three of these—plus, when done correctly, it's also "reliable", "trustworthy" and "provable", none of which can be said of online voting.

There's a story of a fighter pilot, flying on instruments on a rainy night, who noticed his altimeter was reading level, artificial horizon level, but his speed was climbing even with the throttle steady. He immediately pulled the ejection handle, having correctly deduced that both altimeter and artificial horizon were were broken and he was plummeting towards the Atlantic. The plane impacted a few seconds later.

Different situation, obviously, but at least sometimes immediate ejection is the correct response to "HUD freakout at low altitude in bad weather."

Can’t wait to hear your experience. I felt the same way and I’m a convert now.
Yes, "associated with". But it is not part of the definition of the word. I don't know how much clearer anybody could make this. Democracy just means voting, it does not even mean that everyone gets to vote and certainly not equally. Even if you don't like it and even if you want that to be included in the word definition, that doesn't make it so.

Hey guys, I am Tamerlan the creator of this chess board. To answer some questions about the background noise its since I am working in my garage. Currently as a high schooler I don't have too much time to make improvements to the board such as having the piece automatically removed when captured, and an additional robotic arm underneath to move the pieces out of the way. I just decided to use an approach to move the pieces through the middle of the squares. Hopefully in the near future I will keep improving the pi board. Engineering has been my hobby for a while, since I like playing chess I decided to connect them two. I am not much of a web dev so the website is not the best, I made it to show the main idea of the concept, in the future I will improve the website as well and link it to all of my other projects I've built in the recent years. I would like to discuss with all of you more about the board, if you have any questions just shoot me an email at thstudios0708@gmail.com and we will get in touch! Thanks for all the support.
