> sometimes few different projects a day - and read files in dozens of programming language

+1 this is what brought me back to vscode after experimenting with goland. To me vscode better handles the heterogeneity of my daily work. In my workspace I can keep open: a golang codebase, a massive codebase consisting of yaml config files, a filesystem from a remote ssh connection, a directory of personal markdown notes, and directories of debug logs. In my experience jetbrains excelled at the single use case, but vscode won on its diversity.

I will say that the parent comment had me curious about goland again. But I suspect I really need to spend more time configuring my vscode setup. I spent years using emacs, and would love to have a helm-like navigation experience.

The fees out of each paycheck, including rent extracted for using the app, is just awful.

For facilities that use these apps: are these the only game in town? Where are we on the slope to nurses in a region having no other way to get shifts?

Why is it that nurses are down there with, maybe below, teachers? Perhaps because they are not expected to have a long-term relationship with their customer.
I’m worried about the psychological health of people that make stuff like this. Why? Nobody uses these frameworks unless paid, you need an actual team of people to maintain it.
> I keep my iPhone at home, powered and connected to the Internet but don't use it as a daily driver.

I recently learned that the Google pixel 8 and 9 will soon get a feature that will allow these phones to remain plugged in and turned on without charging and discharging the battery (under certain circumstances).

I really wish this was widely available for all cell phones and tablets. I know new iPhones have a limit charging to 80% option (my iPhone se 2020 does not) but I think the next step is to add this? My main motivation is to do whatever we can to avoid spicy pillow problem in batteries.

Do you have any thoughts on this topic?
Logitech implements the forward and backwards buttons on macOS in a REALLY weird way. It simulates swipe events. And you cannot set them to the default Mouse Forward and Mouse Backward (M4/M5). https://superuser.com/a/1216049

What’s your companies general location? Do you have an office where tech talent wants to work? Location is an important part of a competitive employment offer.

And I highly doubt linear algebra is a day to day requirement for a typical worker. Sounds like a case of expecting chauffeurs to know how to build a drive train from scratch.
The real story is animal ag creates the conditions for selection for more virulent pandemic viruses (and antibiotic resistant bacteria through overuse of the chemically-identical antibiotics given to humans) and yet we don't take the actions necessary to prevent them.
I think they're saying it was a single event because (so they also say) all 37 people were all killed in the same way: close-range, with a blunt instrument, and at what they assume—from the carbon dating and location of the bones—was about the same time. They do jump to the conclusion that it was a massacre pretty quickly, but it does make enough sense, I guess.

They speculate that cannibalism could have been involved, but don't talk about a serial killer. It seems a stretch for someone in a Bronze Age society to secretly commit 37 murders, followed by systematic butchery of the bodies, and then burial in a common grave. 37 people may have been the majority of people in your tribal unit, so it would be kind of hard to kill them all without someone noticing!
> Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp could enable Meta to read on a user's device all of their messages and emails, see every phone call they make or receive, track every app that they use, scan all of their photos, look at their files and calendar events, log all of their passwords, and more.

Iunno, none of those things sound like stuff that isn't already being tracked by iCloud. If the user opts into it, I can't see legitimate grounds for Apple to object. It's like the old meme, "Myths of 'consensual' cloud services: isn't there someone you forgot to ask?"

I wonder if a purge and a fresh start for StackOverflow would renew interest.

I used to like reading StackExchange sites as a social media site--lots of interesting questions and clever answers. Today, votes have slowed down and the best answers are from 2017, and only niche questions can avoid being closed.
I‘d write a small watch app that syncs with Health locally and then exports the data to wherever I want it.
I think your first paragraph nails it. I find the "Satori to Silicon Valley" concept plausible in the sense that when experts (who study their subject for years without psychedelics) use psychedelics it could accelerate lateral/outside-the-box thinking. The rub is that I've seen a lot of people talk a lot but achieve nothing while doing much larger amounts of psychedelics over much longer periods of time. To me this clearly shows that psychedelics are at best a minor tool (and only to those that dedicate themselves to a specific endeavor). I agree there's a place for it, but the annoying thing about funding it as research is that laymen will run with it as if psychedelics by themselves simply improves life. I don't think this is true.
> If Apple were to have to grant all of these requests, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp could enable Meta to read on a user's device all of their messages and emails

I assume ultimately users will need to grant the permission for these things?

If Apple did their part to inform user of the consequences, and yet user decides to allow access, who is Apple to judge?
By 1200 the Romans had been beaten in battle many times. Their loss at Manzikert to the Turks in 1071 severely weakened the empire, and they never really recovered from it.

Overall, I think Kotlin is a vastly superior language to Java and spanks Scala in discoverability and legibility (less magick moar bettar, IMHO)
> Apple’s iCloud servers which have a history of being hacked.

Bold claims need strong proof. Have a source for this?

The only major hack I’m aware of was the Fappenning, which was widely accepted as an issue of password reuse across sites, and Apple responded by making it difficult to avoid using MFA.
meth vs adderall is more about dosage. If for some reason you decided to consume massive amounts of adderall the same way crazy homeless people consume meth (1000mg instead of 30mg), you could get addicted to it. Pretty much nobody does this with adderall, but the theory is solid. See https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/drug-users-use-a-lot-of-dru...

> Despite the repeated claims of METH being more addictive or preferred than AMPH, proven differences between METH and AMPH in addiction liability and in reward efficacy have evaded researchers. Animals self-administer METH and AMPH at comparable rates (Balster and Schuster 1973) and humans prefer similar doses (Martin et al. 1971). Also, neither humans nor animals discriminate between equal doses of METH and AMPH (Huang and Ho 1974; Kuhn et al. 1974; Lamb and Henningfield 1994). Furthermore, while METH is commonly believed to be a more potent central psychostimulant than AMPH, no direct comparison on the potency of the two drugs to stimulate central processes have been verified. In addition, no previous study has directly compared the acute effects of the two drugs on locomotor activity, an important central process that contributes tothe definition of psychostimulant. Moreover, there are no known neurobiological differences in action between METH and AMPH that would account for the putatively greater addictive, rewarding, or psychomotor properties of METH.
Presumably government contract does mandate in this case.
The people that voted for them expect that social security and medicare will only end for the "others", not for them, that's why they voted. They want to see their "enemies" suffer.

Replacing class war with culture war was the smartest move conservatives ever made, by the time these folks that voted against their best interests notice the mistake, they will go down the drain with everyone else, it will be too late to change course.
But again, that is access to knowledge. How good would your college education have been if there was no library or textbooks?

> This isn’t just tax. It’s shipping, discounts, gift wrap, and coupons. All of which are taxed and possibly at different rates. You have the luxury of not caring. The merchant doesn’t.

But that's already the case today. I see the price per item, not counting any potential bulk rebates or optional coupon codes, as it's not a priori clear what else I'll buy. On the other hand, sales tax can always be calculated per item sold, as far as I know.

> Say my city votes to provide free residential broadband to residents and fund it with a telco tax on private ISP service.

> “Simplifying” the tax code by just not allowing the city to do that is literally antithetical to our society. It’s an undermining of the laboratory of democracy.

That argument does make some sense to me, but there are many other types of taxes cities and states could levy other than sales tax, which is extraordinarily complicated as you've demonstrated.

> Our complex tax codes are not a conspiracy to create jobs in tax prep. [...] Make everything as simple as possible but no simpler.

I agree, but also given the incentives here, I'd be surprised if that industry wouldn't put up heavy opposition if anybody seriously campaigned to simplify sales tax while avoiding the reduced autonomy/decentralization you mention. I'm all for avoiding Chesterton's Fence, but taking that way of thinking too far can cement the status quo beyond what's useful and resonable in many cases.
> But first impressions matter, especially when there is pervasive word of mouth about "verbosity"

This feels strongly in the same vein as rent price fixing (1). What is the path to the illegalizing of these abuses? Or should we see the below successful actions as indication that existing laws are sufficient? Should we expect similar action against exploitative "gig economy" companies?

+1, I have basically the same setup. Protectli FW6 with Coreboot and opnsense. Been working solid for a few years now.
The Slowness of Thinking
The number one issue software engineers should care about is using foreign talent to undercut wages. A cursory look at H1B salaries shows this is rampant.

There’s a big difference between “we can’t find any talent” and “we can’t find any talent at our price point”.
The former should be granted an H1B. The latter is abusing the system.
It is pretty awful. I have to turn right out of that weird ramp to return home. My mental rule of thumb is to only start the manoeuvre if there are no cars on the up hill lane - they are leaving a roundabout and also crossing over an unmarked pedestrian crossing. Lots of distractions without having to worry about a car appearing from the left.

Ironically enough, one of the school transport systems used to run from here and during the covid lock downs, quite a lot of Police transport used to run in and out of there too.

Now I've really thought about it I need to start whining at whomever looks after the A37 around there. The worst bit is actually people crossing at the edge of Fiveways roundabout.
> Does this story feel legit to you?

No more or less than any story from that time period. What is in the Bible is literal, historical, metaphorical, philosophical…etc. So could it be true? Sure. Could it be an illustrative fiction? Sure. Could it be false or mistranslated? Sure. Could the message require a contemporary contextual understanding that we don’t have in 2024? Sure.

> Today, were Jesus to show up today, already having been born to some woman immaculately a fews back, he wouldn't step foot into a Church with his name on it

It’s always funny to me when someone (anyone…from any side or spectrum of the theological debate) seems so confident that they know how “Jesus today” would behave, when apparently from the accounts written near to when he was present on the earth even his closest disciples and friends who were with him at the time were often surprised by his behavior. To make the claim that He would shun His houses today doesn’t seem to be rooted in the historical understanding about Him that we do we have. He apparently wasn’t too happy with what was happening in the Temple at that time, but still set foot in it, if only to make a point.

> you'd be far more likely to find him hanging out with Trans people, homeless - he tended to have a thing for broken people, something about improving them and whatnot

Back then He sought out the rich, the poor, the right, the wrong, the clean and unclean, the nobility, the nobodies, the religious, the Jews, the gentiles—basically all folks of all types that were milling about in Judea in that time period. Would that somehow be different in 2024 and He would just gravitate to marginalized people? Doesn’t seem to be in character with what He did then.

Congrats on the launch.

How much did you learn from the lessons of other contemporary robotics frameworks that are out there? Do you envision focusing in on particular types of tasks later, or is it still uncertain how your robot design will evolve as the dataset grows?
Sure, that’s why they pay a lot and hire quality engineers to maintain their codebases. And wouldn’t be ok with AI slop.
Let them fight.

Best outcome: Meta reveals how Apple uses "privacy" as an excuse to block reasonable requests for third party APIs, favor first part apps and suppress competition, while Apple reveals how much data Facebook collects. Both lose, and users win.

In my 3 years old laptop, system memory (dual channel DDR4-3200) delivers about 50 GB / second. You have measured 50M elements per second, with 8 bytes per element translates to 400 MB / second. If your hardware is similar, your implementation did less than 1% of theoretical bottleneck.

When your data is indeed big and the performance actually matters, consider doing something completely different.
Someone that wants to do some good in the world can have a bigger and better impact by getting paid much more and donating half the difference to charity.

Working for a company that launches satellites that examine climate change is far less impactful. It's not worth a big pay cut even when you're focusing on altruistic motives.
The cynic in me would imagine that Apple loves this. They found the perfect enemy to throw under the bus, just in time for the EU’s review of what interoperability means for the iPhone. Meta is probably the most hated big tech company by the EU.

On the other hand, I’m sure Apple hates this. Being told they have to share and cooperate is not something they’re familiar with. The EU really is twisting the screws for DMA.

I wonder if any of the big companies will pull out of the EU over DMA or future legislation. It seems each of the big tech companies have started to get a grumpy with being pushed to make crazy changes by the EU.
Ah.. the old days of java programming - set up your CLASSPATH and done.. Nowadays; however, most libraries have tons on other dependencies and doing this manually is tedious and a pain in the neck - download the wrong version of the dependency, and you are in for a rabbit-hole trying to figure out the compilation errors.
Do not get me wrong, Maven is ugly and disgusting(so are the other dependency managers for java), but gone are the days of CLASSPATH.. unless you avoid using libraries bloated 3rd part libraries at any cost.
What is the difference between ‘fundamentally unknowable/unpredictable’ vs ‘random’?
I can say with certainty that it is not impossible to predict the future. We can scientifically do so - advertising is a form of future prediction.

All things that exist have a cause and a consequence - nothing is unknowable if we could simply see a the data, everything could be explained exactly.

The future without is easier bc ppl are almost exactly the same based regardless of culture, ethnicity, religion or class and collectively we have been simply repeating the same mistakes, in cyclical pattern, for our entire history.

Everything has done before and everything will be done again - different eras tho, same humanity broken in the identical ways living the sames lives leading to the same mistakes and then forgetting all that and doing it again.

A good error report is not only about how it gets constructed, but what is more important, to tell what human can understand from its cause and trace.

Yeah, so does Google. But as mentioned before, even though they were both using it for WebAuthN in the past, they both stopped doing so.

What stronger proof for attestation being dead in the context of WebAuthN can you possibly get than the two largest implementers actively discontinuing it?

There are many good reasons to be cautious of how attestation is used and critically examine who it serves – a company you're doing business with, you, or both – but in this specific context, it's arguably no longer relevant.
Defense morons should be a more common term. These guys have been given free money for generations in VA and can barely do anything other than suck cash from the government. I’m an American it’s disgraceful they are children compared to my Asian colleagues.
Intellectuals have the same blind spots. During COVID (At least the ones I worked with) made fun of the disease when it started spreading and refused to take it seriously, then did a complete 180 when their social circles took it seriously. And then did insane stuff like wipe down their groceries with bleach and obsessively washed their hands long after the science was clear that it spreading through the air.

No amount of intelligence will protect you from confirmation bias, authority bias, social proof, and the numerous other vulnerabilities we all have built in. Actually intellectuals are more vulnerable, since intelligent people tend to have a cognitive bias where they over-estimate their expertise in unrelated fields to their own.
