WordPress offers automatic core and plugin updates now. This is rarely an issue with a site that has few plugins and customizations. That said, it's a really good idea to have regular offsite backups.
That's fair. And this type of standardization is far enough outside my wheelhouse that I don't know how to judge Mike's comments. He's pretty deep in that space, so I take it at face value. I don't think he'd have pushed this effort without there being value.

Looked on the OpenID mailing list site[0] and didn't find any discussion, so can't offer any other insight. I suppose you could contact Mike[1] and ask why it is such a big deal)?

This happens to every developer once we get over like 20yrs experience doing side projects. Invariably the dependencies and technologies of any app become obsolete over time, and you either do a massive rewrite or else give it up.

I've always had one primary side project of my own that's consumed 95% of all my time over the years, and so I've rewritten it from scratch at least 5 times as technologies (libraries, databases, languages, etc) have evolved. Not many people are lucky enough to love one app so much you'll do this, so your other side projects just die off, because they're not worth a rewrite.
I'm not sure why you don't think there's not a place for research. Personally, I think social media, and just the internet itself, is most likely harming society as it's by and large run by corporations. I would love to see research validate or invalidate this in multiple ways.

My thesis is anything too big or too large is usually bad for society. Forums, social media, corporations, etc. lose their humanity and good once they reach a certain size.
I really think we do a number on kids expecting a 100%, perfection, as a goal. And then only give them one chance to achieve it, but ask them to do it day after day for years. It creates some really unhealthy coping mechanism.
The Difference Between a Standard DIMM and a Cudimm or Csodimm
> Studies into the effects of social media are being manipulated by big tech

Good morning. Why woulnd't they be ? The big tech buys the biggest world's governments (USA, EU).
They want to maintain their revenue.
This post made me feel defensive. Which is a good time to stop and reflect.
Thanks for sharing the thoughtful advice
Making it an ISO publication makes it an ass cover for procurement. Nobody got fired for demanding compliance with a pile of ISO standards after all.
Lol nope, ppl still think Huawei AI chips are made by tsmc? Huawei will get even more orders now. And these smaller AI chips makers could already have plans to shift domestic 7nm given the crazy US government, who knows if they would one day wake up and force an embargo or not. Contingency plans are in place may already in execution. All this does is continue to kill any US believers in China and maybe rest of world that US is friendly and benevolent, that there is free trade, collaboration of commerce. US will weaponize tech and supply chains against you, there is no international rules here, US is the dictator, their way or the highway. US will force other places around the world into its bidding. Everyone should reduce reliance on USA, at least have some level of self control so US can't blackmail you one day. Who knows who is in charge of the US government one day and what happens in US politics. Will you let critical aspects of your national economy and people's livelihoods dependent on the whims of bombastic US politicians? Like, all the Chinese entrepreneurs believing in the USA got their face slapped by the US government for past 6 years. Anyone who still trust the US, and get their face slapped get no sympathy. US government told you what may happen.

I feel like this (and some of the replies to this) is missing the point a bit.

I don’t think the goal was to make a bullet-proof delimiter that fails at nothing.

The goal was to solve the problem of not allowing things like commas, quotes, newlines, tabs, pipes, etc. in text files.

I feel like using the proposed ASCII characters would eliminate these limitations, while also allowing machine creatable and readable format (emphasis on machine as opposed to human).

Yes, it would still be tough for a human to type or read these delimiters, so in that case, go with traditional CSV or TSV (or MVCSV!).

But if you only need to use a machine to create/read the text, this sounds like a great solution, allowing all of the normal characters you might see in text.
The things you mention are already ongoing. We eliminated 15 items in J.2 in last meeting and will remove more in the next. Not that I agree that the UB is really the that much of a problem, only very specific cases of UB actually cause real safety problems.
I mean it is usually paired with an id token, an identifier like an email address is provided, or the access token has a sub claim that is tied back to the user.

So it is not pure authorization, but both authentication and authorization.

Pure authorization would be like a car key, with no identity mixed in.
>3. In the western world companies over past fifty years got a free boost as women joined the labour force, and essentially companies were paying one guy the cost of a household now they pay two people the cost of household getting twice the workers for same price.

If demand for work is fixed, then doubling the supply of work (male + female from the same household) would in principle decrease wages (not necessarily by half). However, the supply need not be fixed. This is what I like to call the "musical chairs theory of employment". Let's say there are 2x more working age people in 2024 than in 1954, does it mean each person earns less? When immigrants come to a country, does it mean that each immigrant causes a native to become unemployed?

The evidence tells us that's not true and that there are other changes in the economy that also increase the demand for work. Check the literature of immigration effects (even major short term shocks) on unemployment and wages to see a pretty clear picture. I'm not aware of a study of what more female employment has done (my guess is that it's much more difficult to study, because it's a phenomenon that has slowly happened over decades. As an aside, this has happened in plenty of places around the world, no need to restrict yourself to the western world. Plenty of other places are relevant)
I created an app for myself to track anything about my life and test life interventions hypotheses like diet changes and supplements. It’s been a wonderful journey and I’ve learned a lot about myself thanks to it. It’s called Reflect - Track Anything.

> What I don’t really understand is that we (Ruby programmers) still use indentation for block definition as a reason against Python. Especially since yaml, haml and sass are technologies we helped build and popularize and they are all indentation based.

I am willing to bet it won't be solved by 2028 and the betting market is overestimating AI capabilities and progress on abstract reasoning. No current AI on the market can consistently synthesize code according to a logical specification and that is almost certainly a requirement for solving this benchmark.
I struggle with this myself, especially around writing. My solution, from a coding perspective:

If I had a massive new app to build, it would indeed feel overwhelming if I felt like I just had to sit down and build it. I think we get extra stuck on that with writing, as it often feels like we just need to go from an empty page to a well-reasoned and edited blog post, with a lot of ambiguous struggle in between.

With programming, I start breaking it down into pieces of functionality, and smaller ones, until I have a list of concrete things I can actually get my head around and write the code for. I keep on doing those small things, build the structure around them, and eventually I have my app.

I do the same with writing now. Not an outline really, but a list of concepts I want to get across, then smaller ideas. I write out a few of those, often a paragraph at a time. The structure starts to reveal itself, and soon enough I have a new blog post.

I think the key here is arriving at something small enough that it doesn't feel overwhelming. New app or blog post feels like way too much in the moment, and my body and mind to everything possible to avoid it (procrastination). Writing out a paragraph, coding a function - very doable.
It's an interesting problem because we do see innovation from private companies (tech, scaling, UX, etc) that I don't think we'd see in a publicly/government-owned platform. But the fact that it comes at the cost of hiring the world's top minds to figure out how to generate more ad clicks at any cost (mind control, teen suicide, etc.) is just unacceptable.

Whatever way out we might choose, I hope that it doesn't impact indie hackers and people who want to try new things. We have to make sure that the root of the problem, advertising, is properly captured in the letter of the law, and that any legislation doesn't get disemboweled by corporate interests on the way out the door.

This is in the same ballpark as S230: sounds great on paper, but is terrible in practice. Having such a database would absolutely expose performers to reprisal or persecution by a bad actor government - i.e., LGBTQ+ actors being persecuted by a religious or fascist government - and therefore shouldn’t exist.

However, I do agree with other posters here that any sort of adult production should absolutely have signed, written consent forms outlining safewords/signals for all participants involved, the nature of what will be filmed, and the expected acts of the parties therein, such that there can be no question about these issues in a court of law. Paperwork saves lives.
Great work. When sending a video to someone else, how is the sound created - does your app convert the midi to audio with its built-in piano sound?
I think what blurs the line between local writing and public writing is that you just publish it after minimal editing with no fanfare. No RSS feeds for people to subscribe to. No posting on HN or Reddit where plenty of people are judgmental. Just make it public. If people chance upon it let them read it; just don't purposefully attract people to read it.
I believe it’s possible to just have the landowner/transit agency install them and publish their locations according to some standards. I believe shopping malls and airports are already mapped this way sometimes.

this!!! I have a site I personally use daily. it's using react 17 and is built with node 16. upgrading either breaks it and I don't have the
time to fix the issues. It's got 3 components that break as well. And the CRA build script breaks if you update it as well.

I've spent several hours trying 3 different times to upgrade it but I run out of time and give up. So I limp along with tiny changes now and then. I don't know at what point it will become unmaintainable

I have a similar problem with an electron app. it's super frustrating.

I kind of wish the upstream devs got billed for all the extra work they cause. Then maybe they'll take the pain they create a little more seriously.

The latest is eslint which recently broke everything and now 15 or so projects I run will need several hours of maintenance each. work I'd like to put into new features but instead I have to waste on refactoring configuration
Looks awesome, does it also record the pedal? Also I am worried that if it just records in MIDI, the output sound may be different from what I was hearing when playing unless I somehow have exactly the same sound banks as my digital piano.
I procrastinate about everything. But one stark exception to the theme of “not being good enough” was looking for a new job after layoffs in 2023. It wasn’t that I thought I wasn’t good enough. My experience and resume is pretty solid. I procrastinated because of how shitty the experience is dealing with companies on LinkedIn who get flooded with applications that either a real person might not read (due to software filters) or someone lacking a real understanding of tech won’t accurately asses my skills.

I ended up getting a great job that I was really happy to land. But I only applied sporadically because just the thought of having to endure the slog was mentally painful.

Fear of what others might think didn’t stop me from building effective automation at the command line. It prevented me from publishing my work on GitHub. It took being in the job market to push me past that as I wanted to let my work speak for itself for technical reviewers during the screening process.

On a different note, present-tense me is always harassing future me with ambitious plans set as reminders. The sense of failure from constantly pushing them off is demoralizing. Some of that came from depression (I’m in treatment now) and some was a byproduct of being a high-achieving alcoholic. The latter sapped my mental fortitude and turned me into a passive streaming consumer. Each time I quit drinking, projects abound as my mind clears up.

Apologies for trembling a bit. Procrastination is one of my greatest challenges, now that I’ve corrected so many other self-sabotaging behaviors. It’s one that I still haven’t really begun to figure out how to address. But hey, I’m doing pretty well otherwise, so there’s that.

The argumentation in the article isn’t very good but the Ruby community was never good at selling itself and used similar arguments to the article for years.

The syntax is more elegant. Well yes, but that’s also subjective. Also, the argument doesn’t help LISP to be more popular either.

The indentation argument is old and in my opinion hypocritical (yaml, sass, haml). Also, not getting code you copy and paste from the net to work because of syntax errors based on indentation is the least of the problems in copy and pasting code from the internet.

Selling the larger and more diverse library ecosystem of Python as an advantage for Ruby rather funny. Ruby has good libraries for the web and enough for *NIX scripting but I do wish we had some more stuff to keep up with Python when it comes to math, scientific computing and ML.

I have more fun writing Ruby and that is one of the main reasons I use it. And I think it is an easy enough programming language for a somewhat experienced programmer to pick up. DSLs, meta programming and some other advanced concepts are easy enough to pick up in Ruby and you can figure out the pros and cons for your self quickly. We still have a tradition of fun and quirky projects being done in Ruby. There is a gem to create your own card games and a video on YouTube about somebody building an agi upscaler, that code is in ruby.

My sales pitch would be: “Come join us, we are fun and a bit weird, just like our language. We are also fun at parties!”

> When you read a book, have you violated the author's IP right by retaining the content in your brain and possibly discussing it with others without the publisher's consent?

When you write this on your new book it it called citation and there are some rules that you should follow so that you are not against the law.

Why are a lot of US companies trying to avoid the law lately ? (Uber, AirBNB, OpenAI)
For this to be true, real wages would have had to collapse (at the very least ~50-70%) for a household of two workers to be less rich than the household of one worker x years ago.

This is just not true. If people feel worse it's because they want more things from life, not because they are able to afford less things.

(I'm talking about the last ~50 years. The last 20 years may be a different point, but it doesn't have to do with female participation in the marketplace)

I’ve been using this for a while now. But one thing I recently worked on required these locks to be extremely efficient. Does anyone have any benchmarks on usage of these locks? Preferably compared to the use of rust’s tokio mutex from a wasm context.
Yes, one would think if this community actually valued VC activities they would be praising the author for forging his own way and starting companies rather than tearing him down for choosing not to take the easy way and suckling on googles teets.
The way I read it the intent is to ensure there is one sanctioned version of Rust, if you change the compiler to accept other syntax, different file types etc you have to call it by another name. You can still say that it's written in rust and compatible to rust, but you can't call it rust. A weaker version of that policy Firefox had for a while.

Maybe the exact wording needs some refinement. Allowing repositories that are marked as forks for example.

The person getting paid INT_MAX probably fooled a king with a chessboard.
Remember that people go by what others do. There is 0 penalty for lying about the fact that the number is not negotiable and so recruiters will do that often. So job applicants are conditioned to try to negotiate even if told quite clearly that its the “final number”.
Splitting, even if it's not re-concatenated (unlikely in practice) would still benefit from the cache-optimization/ lack of garbage collection overhead / consequential bytes in literal RAM, no?
Weird API to release the lock. What if you want to hold on to it? Then you need to do some silly promise wrapper. Would be better if there was a matching release() function.
I don't argue as mentioned I tell the recruiters I'm making 220k (while really I'm only making $175k for example) already forcing them to either not continue the conversation if they can't match or they can & the conversation continues.

Of course this is done once you have a few years experience and aren't really looking. Though recruiters on LinkedIn & via email reach out and you can casually play the field for fun to potentially giving yourself a huge increase. Job jumping is a good way to really boost your salary.
Nope China won't do that, we are not this low. We will do it the hardest way, our people are hard at work to develop the tech and supply chain. We will foster the talent, commercial flywheel in this space.

> I don't think there's a meaningful "toll gate" in this case: the standards are already free and public

See Adobe and PDF: PDF 1.7 was available gratis from Adobe and also (“technically identical to”) an ISO standard. At the time, people expressed concerns about ISO’s paywalls and Adobe reassured them there was an agreement to ensure that wouldn’t happen. Indeed it did not... until PDF 2.0 came along, developed at the ISO, and completely paywalled.

I seem to remember (but don’t quote me on that) that AVIF and JPEG XL standards were at one point downloadable free of charge. In any case, they aren’t today.
Interesting comment. Would you mind expanding on that observation? Are there any references you'd suggest looking at that help make the connection more clear? Thank you!

Recurrent noise limiting coding, Mandelbrot (1954) [pdf]
The author heard Putin speak in person, didn't get everything due to translation issues, and the part he remembers is when Putin made a joke about the US presidential election... The reliance on English as an intermediate and the overshadowing power of the US-China rivalry rather limit the typical Chinese person in their ability and motivation to learn about Russia in ways unavailable to Westerners.

Of course there are scholars who're fluent in Russian and have a deep understanding of Russian society, and if you look hard enough you can probably find some with a WeChat official account where they post insightful analysis, but their readership can be expected to be rather small in comparison.
That's wise and quite emotionally mature. I'm only sharing some thoughts and not attacking anyone. So if it feels a bit like an attack, perhaps one of your core beliefs is being challenged. :)
