"Recently, a tricky concurrency bug in our distributed data platform was escalated to me—one that had stumped the entire team for months due to gaps in understanding transaction isolation and concurrency issues (despite having CS degrees!).

Inspired by this experience, I wrote a simple, practical tutorial using a Django app as an example.

This is a new exercise for me since I’m often too busy to write public-facing content (seriously, how do people find the time for blog posts??), but I hope it helps others avoid the same headaches!"
Adam and Eve had no conception of the Sabbath - they never worked or labored for anything prior to leaving the garden. God walked and talked with them daily, whenever apparently - what need for their to be to recognize that which is accessible and available all the days.

What purpose would a God have at all for the life inside his creations to set aside 1/7 of their time "for him" anyways?

Lots of silly, silly stuff people say God thinks

As someone who works with Confluent Kafka I'm not happy with there pricing structure. While the cost savings look good I'd need a much larger Confluent bill to consider moving off Confluent. The cost savings appears to be about the cost of a developer. With complex systems using many micro services to communicate with Kafka the switching cost is not worth it at a small scale given the business values developers could provide instead of doing the switch. When your talking about much larger data volumes or multiple clusters across multiple regions then the math starts to look better.
> Solaar is not a device driver and responds only to special messages from devices that are otherwise ignored by the Linux input system.

The normal Linux drivers implement what's needed to receive the HID message. This just handles some vendor specific messages on top of that. A bit like how a program can send a custom vendor specific TCP message on top of the existing OS network drivers without having to itself be a kernel level network driver.
Basically a lot of people mistakenly thought something had been damaging their windshields, but it was just regular wear and tear they had never noticed before.

The damage appeared to spread as more people talked about it

The pictures weren't clear to me either, probably because they're pictures of ordinary windshields lol

Mustang is a big heavy GT style car. It has heavy engines, a wide body, big tires, etc.

A 2-door mini cooper is 2600 pounds. A Nissan Versa is about the same.

For larger cars, the Elantra and Civic are both less than 3000 pounds.
That's weird. The fitbit bands that Google still sells do have that. They seem to be having a really hard time making the fitbit acquisition work in many ways so I guess that's not surprising.

The whole switch/pattern matching thing is a true abomination borne from: Well, things in statement position can't be expressions (or however Pythonistas might phrase it), so clearly switch/pattern matching must be a statement... It's such an own goal and undermines the main point of pattern matching.

(I do realize that there was opposition on this, but that the Clearly Wrong side won out is baffling.)

The announcement coming directly from Russia's president does carry significant institutional weight - no organization would risk presenting false medical claims at that level, as it would severely damage presidential authority. However, what's more interesting is Russia's track record in vaccine development. They were the very first country globally to release a COVID vaccine back in 2020. Despite initial widespread skepticims, they were ahead of both Pfizer and Moderna.

It's quite telling that this submission only reached 100+ position on HN despite getting 14 upvotes in just 30 mins - a vote velocity that typically lands posts in the top 10-20. To me, this unusual ranking pattern suggests possible suppression, either automated or manual. But hey, I guess groundbreaking cancer vaccine announcements are just too commonplace these days to deserve top billing, right? I mean, we all create revolutionary cancer vaccines every day - no big deal!

The fact that Russia plans to provide this vaccine free to their citizens demonstrates a clear commitment to public health. Given the knee-jerk skepticism we're seeing, perhaps they shouldn't share it internationally - why offer breakthrough medical advances to those who view your achievements with automatic disdain? And let's be honest about the "arbitrary arrests" argument - every country in the world has faced similar accusations. This isn't unique to Russia and shouldn't be used to dismiss potential medical breakthroughs.
True, but they aren’t allowing recently admitted permanent residents, asylees, and refugees, all of whom have federal protections against immigration status discrimination in employment.

Some places like NYC offer legal protections in this area to all categories of immigration status, of course within what applicable federal and state law requires and allows. Federal law allows preferring citizens over equally equalities noncitizens, requiring employment authorization to already exist, and complying with any specific legal requirements for restricting certain jobs to citizens. NYC law respects all of this. But overall NYC is totally allowed to, and does, add protections beyond federal law.

You can only renew an H-1b once (as there is a 6 years limit for H-1b). However, if you have an approved I-140 with a priority date in the future (as is often the case with people from India or China) you can keep on extending your H-1b (which doesn't count against the cap).

Does this story feel legit to you?

Judas - the Betrayer who trades his divine friend with like tons of followers and influence for silver pieces, 30 of them I think, Judas speaks to materialism as unnecessary and Jesus corrects him as "well for me and my Dad, expensive is appropriate" - the guy who gets to town and is all like, "where the tax collectors and prostitutes be at?" They were the most controversial figures in that society...

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 - 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.

You are actually proving my point. If there are 4.8 million developers who are not commanding Meta salaries, and they "pay well" it should be fairly straightforward to get labor.

It's simple: the more picky you are the more you will have to pay. The GP admitted the upper bound of Meta, which is a company that is sustainably operating in the same country. If you cannot compete in a labor market, either raise your product pricing or be more efficient. If not, you will make less profit and/or go out of business, which is an appropriate outcome most of the time.

No one is entitled to their business model.
I've been a PyCharm user for over a decade, but recently decided to experiment with VS Code-like editors again. I subscribed to Windsurf pro tier, and while it's quite lacking as a traditional IDE, its AI capabilities are incredible. I'm now considering not renewing my PyCharm license next year. Until (if ever) I fully adapt to Windsurf, I'm planning to use both tools together - PyCharm for the features I'm most comfortable with (where I also use "CodeGPT.ee" plugin), and Windsurf for its AI strengths.
Yeah, it's a shame for Python. I am extremely impressed that Java 14's switch expression ( https://openjdk.org/jeps/361 ) is a generalization of the switch statement (since Java 1.0); it's like they took a page from Rust's language design. I have found the switch expression to be quite useful in my work.
Ok, I once believed this also but I've now read the Bible's "iterations" - the Bible that exists now has been heavily edited, added to and changed.

I don't really see how this is different from `dotnet run`, `python main.py`, or `lua main.lua`. Like the commenter, I don't find Go very nimble.

Is limited features (Go) gonna be better for AI generation then breadth of examples? (C#). I'm not sure.
Exactly this - very well said.

It does seem like an odd attitude for a messiah who commands his followers to give up their entire identity for a life of extreme poverty and charity - who took a whip to the moneychangers in the temple and denounced the rich as unworthy of heaven - to insist on opulence and luxury for himself. I think Judas had a point.

I agree that for experienced programmers working on large projects a little bit of verbosity around `main` is insignificant. But first impressions matter, especially when there is pervasive word of mouth about "verbosity".

Pretend you are a college student and you are taking your first programming class (e.g. CS 1) and your friends have told you that Java is "verbose". You start with "hello world" and you have to type `public static void` etc. One of your friends shows you the same code as a Python 1-liner.

Or similarly you're a beginning programmer in the workforce and your employer asks you to solve a problem using Java. You've heard Java is verbose and when you start with "hello world" you find that what you heard was true.

This is not a non-existent/minuscule audience. They should have fixed this decades ago. Better late than never.

I've been impressed with the modernization of Java over the last 10+ years. Simplifying "hello world" is a minor change relative to the others, but still an important one.

Indeed; while it’s great that they did isotopic analysis of the teeth, bone sections, particularly the long bones of adolescents, would reveal if a starvation event was ongoing at the time, and would at least rule out starvation cannibalism, which they hypothesise as possible but unlikely, although don’t give a reason beyond the presence of cattle for it being unlikely.

What if, for instance, they were all dropping dead of some pestilence, and it’s been a bitter winter and a late spring, and you’re short on labour, and your little society is collapsing and protein is scarce.

I don’t know. Hard decisions have been made many times through history.

Aren't they doing a 12 days of Christmas thing where they release new features for 12 days? This would fit into that idea.

I was thinking earlier today that an agent listening to my calls would be helpful. I was on the phone with a financial institution that will require some followup. Being able to sync in an agent to transcribe and remind me would be valuable.

I understand this isn't that.
I'm not trying to be troublesome, just really trying to understand the opportunities...

Basic data extraction and data cleaning? You can't trust AI to do anything without hallucinating or ignoring possibly important data.

Workflow automation, in what way? Once again, can't be trusted.

Moving to the cloud? How does AI help with that?

Getting basic modern security. Again, how does AI help with that?
I'd love to see this ported to Mac.

Just discovered the bloody AI prompt builder enabled by default in my mouse driver today. After patiently declining input recording permission for months.

Managed to get rid of the most of bloatware using their corporate "Offline" version which supposedly doesn't phone home and doesn't ask for extra permissions. YMMV.

I thought that chip-in EMV was bad until I saw some of the stuff coming out of Discover cards for contactless EMV. Buying a test card set from somewhere like B2 Systems was very beneficial even just integrating an EMV reader from a hardware device to a payment processor.
A local business with a simple email form isn't going to sign you up without calling you to get more information and make sure you're a real person. That's already setting a precedent that you call them to cancel.

What does that have to do with the state of the AI?
Your card limit gets checked on every transaction. There doesn't seem to be a technical reason why information flow back to me should be limited in any way. If the extra layer fails to work the transaction fails to pass.
Recent green card holders, asylees, and refugees get federal protection, except when a law requires or permits otherwise. The other commenter’s company has a blanket rule of allowing none of these categories. Approximately this got SpaceX into trouble with the DOJ recently.

Some state or local laws offer additional protections beyond federal law, including NYC for all immigration statuses, except as required or allowed by other applicable laws. (So, for example, NYC doesn’t pretend that companies have to hire people who don’t already have employment authorization.)
Yeah, though that surprising effect is present in any LLM. You can give it text, and it gives you more text that's spookyly coherant and related. Some of it is going to be in first person because lots of it's training data was in first person. That's still neat! But...

The thing Anthropic really wants us to believe is that rather than just feeding the text it outputs back in, which is a rather banal framing of what they're doing, we've "given it a secret notepad". It's a narrative framing that I think obscures the REAL interesting stuff going on, but I guess LLMs are now too boring now so we need to create some pointless moral drama about it for press.
I think people like medium-size cities in general. Kumamoto in particular is attractive, is decently convenient, good climate, and while Kyushu in general has a conservative image ("Kyushu danshi") it has been changing for the better.

But given all of that, Tokyo basically has its own economy, it's own rules, and isn't just "big", it works differently enough that people's choice isn't on which city, but whether they live in the Tokyo area or not.

For instance if you're gay, the Tokyo administration will give you an equal marital status. Kids's private school tuitions are partly covered (they're ragingly expensive in the first place, but you get prime access to very competitive schools). Health care will usually be completely free for kids. Remote working is usually treated differently if you're vaguely in the area or if you need a flight, living in the mountains in Okutama will land a better deal that living in Shizuoka, even if commute wise it's probably the same.

This is of course an issue, especially as national policies need to fit both worlds which is a pretty hard (the whole discourse on the spouse wage limit is basically centered on this divide)
An off switch that will get ignored for some data, re-enabled on some future update anyway, and forgotten about next time you reinstall.
Crazy to think the people who come to US universities to obtain post-bachelor degrees are more qualified than those who didn't...
This is purely anecdotal, but my experience at a top institution is that the majority of CS/ECE of MS and PhD programs are foreign students, and the H1B folks I worked with had these advanced degrees.

It is required by law. Most likely through prohibitions for "exporting" defense technology, which can be very broad. "Exporting" can consist of having a casual conversation with a non-"US Person" or having a document visible on your desk.

"Secret" classification is really mild, about 5 million people have one.

>The law prohibits employers from hiring only U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents unless required to do so by law, regulation or government contract.

At these workplaces it will be a combination of all 3 of law, regulation, and government contract.
Are you joking about the 8 editors?

I have a laptop I bought 10 years ago. It only has 16 gig of RAM [1].

I have had 8+ editors open, mix of visual studio and vs codes. And in VS you often group all your codebases into single solutions. So usually have multiple windows from multiple projects open in each ide.

It only struggles when I leave the debuggers running several days because of a slight (known) memory leak in visual studio. There's probably a fix but reopening the ide takes like 10 seconds. And it remembers all my open files.

All editors are much better, faster at searching, use less memory, etc. than they wwre 10/20 years ago.

Everyone's improved. You seem to be a bit stuck with an old impression.

[1] I have a vastly more powerful machine but I keep procrastinating switching my work setup over to it.
yeah, Sonnet goes past that. 300+ line changes in 20 seconds. You have to review it, but generally it's right. It's infinitely faster than the time to look at docs and do it myself.
