I think I kinda agree, but there's a big caveat. I've thought about these problems a lot, and I like the idea of cooperation and team-work being how we grow and develop. It doesn't square off with my own lived experience though. I consider myself a pretty good developer. That hasn't come out of "teamwork" though. My early developer days, the days where I didn't quite know enough to actually plan out what I needed to work on, weren't dominated by helpful voices guiding me along. They were filled with antisocial freaks on the internet telling me how stupid I was for asking such a basic question. The odd thing was that it didn't repel me, it drew me in. I became one of them, I sat down and searched day and night. I spent 4-7 hours every day after school just trying to understand what this computer thing was, and how it all fit together. The early work I did to learn the technical aspects of being a developer was all fueled by antisocial hyper focus, at a great cost to many other parts of my life. It undeniably made me pretty good at the technical aspects though.

I've since leveled out a bit. With the technical stuff roughly figured out. I've since moved on to the people problems, and there it's much more about the cooperation. I couldn't meaningfully contribute to those "people problems" If I didn't have the antisocial beginnings though.

I have a hard time "developing" developers, when I look back at my own lived experience. I like what and who I am, but the cost has been pretty steep. I'm not sure I can take other people down that path in good consistence.
Agree. I actually decided to blog about that here earlier today: https://jensrantil.github.io/posts/pair-mob-sessions/
"Operating Systems" for microcontrollers such as this are frequently just schedulers as the Application typically contains drivers and hits the hardware itself. e.g. FreeRTOS.
nanotech? some things are very weird, for example when the physical (or are the human astronauts the same as they were on Earth? no they are not - see Gene for example) Gaby dies and is transported to the hub. what is going on there? and when she appears to Rocky? none of this is ever made clear, and I guess Shirley was making much of it as he went along, which is what novelists do.

I think you could argue that they (humans) all died when the Ringmaster was grabbed by the Gaea entity, and they are now all living in a simulation.

You're absolutely right, but the problem is the intersection set of rich people and powerful people is quite large (they're almost, but not quite, the same set) and why would they ration themselves?

If air travel rationing would ever be implemented, instead of travel becoming a rich person's hobby (which it already is, for a very loose definition of rich, a definition loose enough that it also counts people with in-house bathrooms with running water and waste disposal systems as rich) it would become a powerful person's hobby.

Not that different IMHO.

But, just to be clear, I'm totally with you. It's just that I'm terribly pessimistic.

What kind of gives me little moments of joy is thinking of what the 3000 version of "Fall of civilizations" podcast will have to say about what is happening now.

Definitely - and it’s nowhere near the carbon emissions so I think what happened is that they saw someone else’s data (hopefully inadvertently) comparing a mostly full long haul flight (148gm CO2/passenger/kilometer) to a city bus (97g) rather than the long-distance buses you mentioned which are far more efficient since they don’t stop frequently (27g).

That's true of a software developer in the narrow sense. In the broader sense there are skills around collaborating with others, working sync/async, delivering with quality, communicating status, mentoring junior people, educating others about what is going on, and maintaining the systems over time.

> I believe that RAM can only be RMW'd in cache lines, so modifying just 8 bytes still requires 64 bytes to be transmitted.

Ages ago I worked with several different memory controllers, and it depends on the memory controller, cache, and MMU configuration.

Plenty of systems do require cacheline updates, then modifying 8B requires reading one or two cachelines, updating them, and writing them out eventually.

Some caches track cacheline validity with a bit per byte. This enables a CPU to set a book out in memory without fetching the cacheline. The cache may then try to burst read that line from the memory controller, but if it doesn't get around to it before deciding to flush that cacheline, it may issue a single byte write to the controller. The controller can then issue a makes DRAM write to the memory, which will update only certain bytes in the DRAM column. However, this still takes about as long as sending the full cacheline but it offloads the read-modify.

Validity per byte is also useful to implement hit under miss.

I bet on newer, bigger systems tricks like this are less useful since the memory busses are faster and wider today.
I think OPs general point, although maybe not what they stated is correct: it’s easy to write GC’d code. It’s “easy” to write code with manual memory management. It’s “easy” to write RC code. But it’s hard to write borrow checker code. And that will probably limit adoption, even though the goals of Rust are good.
Well, most -- like 90% -- people don't have any contact with God or Its teachings and, therefore, have no interest in learning the principles It has laid down for how we should live our life.

As such, fear is a great way to get people to jump start entering the Path of Love. No one should be comfortable living their life in ignorance to the gentle lovingkindess we should be working to transform ourself into. It certainly kick-started my reestablishing my connection with God in my late 20s.

As to Rabia Basri's quote, I don't get that from my Sufi Murshid's teachings. Though he has passed away now, our fundamental command is:

Always love. Teach to always love.
Never hate. Teach to never hate.

But I think the gist of what Basri is saying is that we should desire to self-evolve ourselves towards the beauty best exemplified by the Unfathomable beauty of our Creator, for love's sake, for our neighbors' sakes.

In that vein, I don't even know if we're Sunni or Shi'ite, because it doesn't matter. We are to not divide into sects, and that extends to all of humankind, where one's religious path and even lack thereof should not be a divisive factor in our love for one another. Love is our responsibility alone, not that of those we encounter. We are merely to exemplify love and then teach it as best we can, to those who care to learn.

> Conversely, many Eastern religions encourage individuals to understand fear's root causes and work towards overcoming them through mindfulness and insight.

There is great wisdom in tackling fear's causes and unsavory effects, as much of fear's causes and results are due to the internal enemy's (nefs, selfish ego) urgings and justifications.

The Quran says of those who love God with all their being:

On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

That is a person who has both "mindfulness and insight", because they have not only put their entire life in God's hands, but understand that the past is in the past, and all we can do is keep doing God's loving work going forward.

Thanks you for this loving conversation this morning. Peace be with you, friend. I love you, and am at your service.

> It is staggeringly hard to measure.

It's straight up impossible. Best we can do is observe and attempt to measure proxies.

Take hypothetical situation: VPs A & B debate a business decision. Let's say A wins the argument and their solution leads to a revenue increase of $10M, and let's say we can confidently state that this is the outcome driven primarily by them winning the argument. Is the impact a net growth in business of $10M? In a sense, yes; but in some other sense, perhaps if they went with B's solution, the revenue growth would have been $15M? There's probably no way to know for sure unless you try both approaches, which is often impossible...
There is talk about necessary defensive preparations for a larger conflict. The primary goal of which is to deter such a conflict from starting in the first place.

But that is not the same as saying that "war is being planned". The latter implies an actual intent/desire to start a war, the former does not.

I'm not what you imagine when you think of "SEO".

Global brands need strategists who help them understand and anticipate algorithmic trends. They need consultants to manage their multilingual organic growth strategies in each local market. They have complex technical SEO questions regarding crawling, rendering, and indexing.

Your definition of SEO is understandable because a lot of the "industry" has indeed behaved poorly. But I'm in the Search industry. For now, at least.

I found myself gravitating back to local stores after years of buying essentially everything on Amazon because local stores at least to some degree curate their inventory while Amazon increasingly does not. If you're looking for a specific product that doesn't matter as much (although Amazon also has counterfeiting problems). But if you're just looking to browse what's available in a certain category of product, Amazon is nearly unusable. You'll almost certainly find dozens of Chinese companies with randomly generated names selling what are essentially copies of the same product with no good way to pick one or even tell if they're any good (reviews being basically useless on Amazon these days).

Because they don't have the same unlimited inventory capacity, local stores have to put at least some effort into selling products with some base level of quality and focusing on the products most likely to sell in each category. Local stores are by no means perfect here, but they're vastly better than Amazon in this regard. And it's especially important because finding good independent product reviews on the internet these days is also a challenge, and even where they exist they're not reviewing whatever no-name Chinese brand Amazon is selling anyways.

> Your face scan is now online waiting for the next data breach

Completely understood, but the point is that it's at CBP or UK Border Force or Bundespolizei, and it's in the security camera system at the airport, too.

If you've been a visitor to Australia recently, you'll be all too familiar with the process of using your phone to scan your face plus passport data.

When you enter the airport, you walk past signs notifying you of extensive surveillance camera use.
I don't think people buy on Amazon because it is the cheapest, they buy on Amazon for convenience. EVERY SINGLE TIME I buy something from someone else (talking online here) I painfully regret that decision (didn't arrive on time, didn't arrive at all, shipped in multiple shipments, one arrived, two didn't and yet order is showing as delivered -> this is just small sample of what I have seen just in the last say 6 weeks). My wife and I have been trying all year to purchase as much as we can on other e-commerce websites but in often (always) ends up like these examples above...
Isopropyl is drinkable (and highly intoxicating). Just very unpleasant to drink and highly irritating to the mucosa.
I agree; it has its part to play; I guess I just see it as such a miniscule one. True bad actors are going to use abliterated models. The main value I see in alignment of frontier LLMs is less bias and prejudice in their outputs. That's a good net positive. But fundamentally, these little psuedo wins of "it no longer outputs gore or terrorism vibes" just feel like complete red herrings. It's like politicians saying they're gonna ban books that detail historical crimes, as if such books are fundamental elements of some imagined pipeline to criminality.

“Generating” is definitely the wrong term: burning fossil fuels puts sequestered carbon back into the atmosphere so we’d want to distinguish that from recirculating carbon as you would by, say, riding a bicycle where all of the carbon was recirculated.

I completely agree with your second point: the low-benefit performative stunts are so foolish that you’d be forgiven for thinking they were the work of undercover saboteurs.
It's a different world where a lot of the code is a one-off, building the right thing is more important than building it right (technically) and people don't really have a deep understanding (or curiosity) about the code.

I don't think it's necessarily wrong and I have seen this approach bring in a tremendous amount of value despite what the Engineering intuition says. I myself came from that world and switched into Python and onboarded into the normal software dev world.

I’m 42, and learned Perl at 14. I’ve worked with some very large Perl systems, and love it. Yes, there’s bad Perl, but I’ve never really understood the hate for it. The testing ecosystem and culture and documentation culture are first rate. The tooling like Mojolicious, DBIx::Class, etc are super well done.

These days I write TypeScript full-time, which I like, and there’s a lot I miss about Perl, while absolutely loving the types in TS. The few months I spent writing Python professionally didn’t convince me it was any simpler or better than Perl, and I quit that job to go back to writing in TS.

The article lists a few things that you can do with R, but fails to make good on its headline promise: explaining why R is the best language for data journalism.

To me, and I think to many other people as well, the language most suited for anything data-related is Python, not R. I might be wrong, but If I am I won't know it after reading this article, because it doesn't compare R to other options on the table. R is only the best at something if it offers advantages over the other options, and to be honest I very much doubt that this is the case when comparing against Python.

Anecdotally, a number of years ago at university I took a class titled "Statistical programming with R" because I had heard good things about it and was looking forward to a chance to learn a new tool. Unfortunately I learned pretty quickly that I had to fight R every step of the way to get it to do what I wanted. Everything seemed arcane, convoluted, and complicated. Went back to Python and never looked back. I don't doubt that one can do great things with R, but the effort needed to get there simply doesn't seem worth it to me when Python seems so much more accessible.

Having said all that, I would be quite interested in a comparison of typical data science (or data journalism) tasks in both R and Python by someone who is good at both. After having read the article headline I had hoped it went into that direction. I was disappointed to see that it's essentially just a statement of opinion that isn't backed up in any meaningful way.

It does seem to be converging somewhere, but a major difference that I really like is pushing humans a little more to care about errors, instead of just letting whatever bubble up from wherever until a catch(...) somewhere.

With checked exceptions, it's very common for the user to end up with only a cryptic message from a leaf function deep inside something, and that's very hard to interpret.

Having a manual stack of meaningful messages that add context is so nice as a user. Even if I do get the stacktrace in a program that threw a deep exception, you typically won't understand anything as a user without access to the code, the stack trace for exceptions is just not meant for human consumption.

This a subspeciality of employment law, and is complex enough that it's not my thing.

That said my understanding and experience is they can't be considered a contractor in this case (which is the goal)
Contractors must be able to control their hours.
In fact, that's the main legal test - do they have autonomy in controlling their work hours.

This trick of forcing them to be reserved but not paying them, yet claiming they are contractors is an old one, and as far as i know has rarely if ever been successful.
That is - it has been one of the main determining factors in whether somebody is a contractor, and it is remarkably hard to find a court case where the court was like "yeah this is fine" and not "actually these are employees".

To cement this further, the department of labor issued proposed guidance on this last year saying (essentially) that exerting control in ways that force lack of autonomy in practice is the same thing as controlling their hours directly- ie directly on point.

If they are instead hourly employees then they already have to be paid for the time you force them to be unavailable for other things.

I’ve found that the rise of Apply Pay as a payment mechanism on random sites has been helpful in getting me off of Amazon. Often it’s just as easy to order something direct if they have Apple Pay (or ShopPay, but I have other issues with them) and the same price as Amazon. Plus discoverability is awful on Amazon anyways.

Still don’t get the Whole Foods return ability when not shopping from Amazon, but not punching in my credit card number to random sites has been enough to get me to move 50% of my shopping to retailers direct.
