I don't think Meta was in any danger of anything, either implementing pro or anti DEI policies. Zuck is still owner founder. He does whatever he wants, see: metaverse fiasco. The average person could not care less about meta's DEI policy, unlike Meta's content moderation policy. Meta was not in danger of being regulated by congress, who can't seem to even fund the government properly, less agree on any kind of regulations on tech hiring. Who does this pander to exactly? Meta's reputation isn't exactly stellar to begin with among all sides.

This feels like an incorrect read on the situation. More likely this is just a blank check to hire as many people on visa as they want without having to conflict with any official policies. Meta already has entire orgs staffed by people of certain countries (hint: not US).
Sounds entirely at odds with any accessibility requirements.

Look these folks can do whatever the heck they want, use whatever language they want.

However my criteria for selecting a language for use in a professional context:

0: fit to task - obviously the language has to be able to do the job - to take this seriously you must define the job and what its requirements are and map those against the candidate languages

1: hiring and recruiting - there must be a mainstream sized talent pool - talent shortages are not acceptable - and I don't buy the argument that "smart people are attracted to non mainstream languages which is how we find smart people", it is simply not true that "most smart people program with Scala/Haskell/Elixir/whatever" - there's smart and smarter working on the mainstream languages.

2: size of programming community, size of knowledge base, size of open source community - don't end up with a code base stuck in an obscure corner of the Internet where few people know what is going on

3: AI - how well can AI program in this language? The size of the training set counts here - all the mainstream languages have had vast amounts of knowledge ingested and thus Claude can write decent code or at least has a shot at it. And in future this will likely get better again based on volume of training data. AI counts for a huge amount - if you are using a language that the AI knows little about then there's little productivity related benefits coming to your development team.

4: tools, IDE support, linters, compilers, build tools etc. It's a real obstacle to fire up your IDE and find that the IDE knows nothing about the language you are using, or that the language plugin was written by some guy who did it for the love and its not complete or professional or updated or something.

5: hiring and recruiting - it's the top priority and the bottom and every priority in between. If you can't find the people then you are in big trouble I have seen this play out over and over where the CTO's favorite non-mainstream language is used in a professional context and for years - maybe decades after the company suffers trying to find people. And decades after the CTO moved on to a new company and a new favorite language.

So what is a mainstream language? Arguable but personally it looks like Python, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, Golang. To a lesser extent Ruby only because Ruby developers have always been hard to find even though there is lots of community and knowledge and tools etc. Rust seems to have remained somewhat niche when its peer Golang has grown rapidly. Probably C and C++ depending on context. Maybe Kotlin? How cares what I think anyway its up to you. My main point is - in a professional context the language should be chosen to service the needs of the business. Be systematic and professional and don't bring your hobbies into it because the business needs come first.

And for home/hobbies/fun? Do whatever the heck you like.
It has examples of roles that would shrink, but none of new roles or roles that would expand. So not very compelling.

Also, who funds the UBI? Unemployed humans? OpenAI? Start trickling that down first.
In politics no one believes in anything except power (hard and soft). Deregulate (by selectively removing regulations to help certain industries) or regulate (to selectively add regulations to help certain industries) it's all the same game.

None of this is guaranteed by 'ownership'.
It just all seems so random and personal to me to make any blanket statement in this area.

The biggest thing to me is to not blow the small handful of opportunities that randomly present themselves. In this context, there is a good chance those won't be in agents or robotics.

At 50, I am happy with my life but I have blown almost all my opportunities. I have grinded out a decent life but it is pretty minimized vs what could have been.

I was offered a nice career at 21 in the financial markets from my part time job while going to college for CS so turned it down. CS was delusion with my math skills and I dropped out. Ended up spending a decade grinding to get into the financial markets after college.

Before CS I thought I would get a PhD in psychology. A real Freudian fan boy professor made me abandon that. I thought Freud was so absurd on first encounter. At this point I have read almost all of Freud's work on my own. I should have stuck with the original plan in psychology.

On the other hand, maybe the path I have traveled is the optimal path because at 50 I am not done. I still have huge dreams to make this all be the right path. The bar is not that high.

It is all a relative valuation.

That's unfortunately not true, it's actually the opposite. The EU is bringing in legally mandatory gender quotas for corporate boards right now, and some European countries have had such rules already at the national level.

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/api/files/docume...

The US does in fact ban discrimination like that, but the rules weren't enforced (or rather they were enforced in one direction only). The EU has simply changed the rules.

You probably don´t understand what Otel is if you think that Prometheus is an alternative.
In any company of a large size, you will always get bad people. But many companies in tech have a lot of good people that don't discriminate. I worked at Uber and it was one of the most progressive companies I've seen. Yes, Susan Fowler's experience was real and disgusting and should never have happened. But I know a dozen females personally that said that working at Uber was their best job ever and they never felt discriminated against ever.
Great read. Not sure it was worth being stuck cross-eyed for the evening, though.
I disagree that silently rolling it back would not be noticed or create at least as big a shit-storm. Being public about the change was the only real option.
This signals to me it's less about optimism for AI and more about desperation to cut costs. Maybe this headline should be 41% of employers are going to continue shitting the bed until the economy fully recovers, hopefully by 2030.

At the end of 2023, Intel shipped Meteor Lake, where all but one chiplet were made by TSMC. Arrow Lake updates that chiplet (the one with the CPU cores) to also be made at TSMC, though on the older N3B process rather than the better N3E process that AMD is using.

Intel's current low-power laptop processor (Lunar Lake) is also all TSMC. The only thing Intel is making for their current-generation consumer products is the passive silicon interposer all these chiplets are mounted on.

I'm a Chinese Malaysian, and I look at the DEI debacles in the US with a mixture of amusement and sadness.

In Malaysia, we have something similar to DEI that stretches back to 1970. We call it the New Economic Policy (NEP), which aims to "restructure society" to achieve a more equitable distribution of wealth and opportunities across different ethnic groups. The explicit aim of the NEP is to increase the participation of Bumiputera (the "natives") in the economy, sometimes at the expense of the non-natives, the Chinese and Indians. The key target was to achieve 30% Bumiputera equity ownership of Malaysia's domestic corporations.

30% only? Bumiputeras constitute a much larger population percentage than that, even at that time. Furthermore, there was an expiry date attached to the policy: 20 years. So, for a Chinese person, enduring slight injustice for 20 years so that our friends can catch up with us—isn't that a good thing? Life is about give and take, right?

Except that even after 20 years—in fact, after more than 50 years—in the eyes of politicians and policymakers, the objective of the NEP hasn't yet been accomplished, and it looks like it will continue indefinitely. That's right: despite the fact that all major companies require Bumiputera participation (never mind that it's a gambling conglomerate, which is supposed to remain forbidden (Haram) to Muslim Bumiputeras), and despite the fact that Bumiputeras now monopolize public sector posts, public university quotas, and administrative/teaching positions, and pretty much dominate every aspect of government institutions (the police, army, judiciary, and all are basically Bumiputera-dominated), the NEP must still continue, because it hasn't yet accomplished its goal.

It will never accomplish its goal.

Meanwhile, the side effects of the NEP are palpable. It's common agreement that Malaysia is lagging behind, especially when compared to our neighbor, Singapore. In 1970, it was 1 SGD vs. 1 RM, and now... it's 1 SGD vs. 3.3 RM. See how much our currency has declined compared to our neighbor. It's no secret that Singapore gladly welcomes Malaysian Chinese "refugees" who escape to that little island to avoid discrimination and frequent hate speech.

Affirmative actions are a double-edged sword. They come at the expense of sacrificing market efficiency and some degree of fairness. And it's not at all clear that anyone can wield them well. I'm sure that the NEP's creators did have noble intentions and did try to minimize the side effects, but you can see where it's gotten them.
How is that a US issue? It's more of an issue for the French or the British.
Fair point, I don't think it should have been changed in the first place. But it's been changed whether we like it or not. If it was "main" in the first place I think that's still a better name than "master."

> Large scale public housing is driven by the state or federal governments, which can simply ignore NIMBYs and local zoning laws.

No, they aren't. They are generally run by local housing authorities with state and federal financial participation, and, in any case, there have been basically no major new public housing projects in the several decades, with many existing projects decommissioned, and public housing assistance shifting from project-based to tenant-based vouchers.

Traditional government housing projects started falling out of favor in the 1950s and 1960s as the new projects were often both viewed as worse than the slums they were supposed to replaced and failed to even replace most of the housing units that were destroyed in the urban renewal efforts that created them, and support for them was essentially completely halted by the Nixon Administration in 1973, though it is possible (though, again, rare since the 1980s) for project-based subsidized housing to be created under Section 8, as well as the (far more common) voucher-based aid under Section 8.
Not really, the advertised temperatures of most brands' kimchi fridges[1] are -1°C (with lower -0.5°C band of stability as well), which is supposed to be mimicking "buried outside in Korean winters" condition.

[1] Example here https://www.lge.co.kr/support/product-manuals?title=manual&m..., see table on page 10, it's between -0.7°C and -1.7°C for kimchi.
The „well everyone can sue anyone for anything“ is a non-serious gotcha answer anyways. If someone asks „can I sue XY because of YZ“, the always mean „and have a chance of winning“. Just suing someone without any chance of winning isn’t very interesting.
Not really, no. The microbial culture composition is strongly dependent on temperature. Yeast prefers high temperature while bacteria in general prefers a lower temperature. Each specific thing you ferment has an optimal fermentation temperature. Plus there are other temperature effects unrelated to the culture itself. For example, enzymatic activity, which is also dependent on temperature, might destroy whatever you are trying to ferment before it ferments enough.

In practice, you will get a poor result if you ferment at high temperature. Texture goes off first, but you can also get weird alcohols or formaldehyde forming.

From my experience, the lower the temperature (and the slower the fermentation), the more complex the flavor. This rule seems to hold for almost everything, from vegetables, to kombucha, to bread, etc. For beer, it depends what kind of beer you like. You can get very funky beers at high temperatures.
What exactly else did DEI initiatives do besides try to get people hired for their race instead of their competence?
I can say all day that my ideas are 'good.' But the only place in the modern era that has tried mass 'free housing' are communist ones and all those societies stopped doing it or failed altogether. That doesn't seem like it has worked out as a 'good idea.'
Sorry. I just reread the comment I made and yeah that looks like some product placement or fake Amazon review.

I can assure you it's coincidental. I posted about a game I recently discovered and then have been super stoked by people leaving their knowledge of similar games that I'm now also excited to give a go. I've recently got into card games and domino games with the kid (a few board games too) and it's all a blast. One of my favorite aspects of HN (have been on here for about a decade, but occasionally lose my account password and have to start over) is the collective knowledge of curious people who know deep stuff about nearly every topic.
Just because most projects’ builds have large attack surfaces doesn’t mean we should accept that. The build and IDE tooling for Go does not trust the code it consumes.
I can see US TikTok influencers taking the VPN effort, but will their followers?
Definitely. I think they just had to make sure not to decline a candidate for that reason explicitly. But it trickled down, e.g. interviewers were told not to ask anything remotely related to the candidate's identity and especially not to write it down, even gendered pronouns.
He's committing the "sin" of monotonicity, not exponentiation. You could quibble about whether progress is currently exponential, but Waymo has started limited deployments in 2-3 cities in 2024 and wide deployments in at least SF (its second city after Phoenix). I don't think you can reasonably say its progress is logarithmic at this point - maybe linear or quadratic.
they are planning to allow you to run your logs in your own datacenter/cloud and put something like a proxy there or being built into quickwit that your logs show up in the datadog UI

That is just what a bot does by default. It will almost always give up after a few retries.

The point of 429 is that you will not be using up your limited bandwidth sending the actual response, which will save you at least 99% of your bandwidth quota. It is not to find IPs to block, especially if the requestor gives up after a few requests.

The IPs that you actually need to block are the ones that are actually DoSing you without stopping even after a few retries, and even then only temporarily.
It does if you implement it! You can do anything if you get around to doing it.

Or use an existing implement like wasmedge, I guess.

The first change you can make is speak with zero first-person pronouns. Banish "I" and "me" from your vocabulary. Practice that beforehand.

The surefire way to seem boring is to be in your own head all the time. The only time you should be "inside your head" during a conversation is to achieve point #1 above. "Hmm, how can I say this next thought without "I" or "me"? Otherwise, you should be mentally projecting yourself out of your head into their story.

Try to make 90% of the conversation about them. Even if you are boring, you can seem interesting just by telling someone about themselves. To "hype" yourself for conversations, you need to tell yourself "I'm going to talk to this person specifically to envision myself in their story, feeling what they feel."

Lastly, some people tend to be very "tunnel vision" in conversations. It makes people seem really bland, stiff, transactional. It's much more fun to remind yourself before a conversation that "it's cool to see if I can identify small gestures or body language to get "more insight" into the person." Which means to look around, look at the person.

Related to the above, being able to gesture with hands, feet, and body convey a certain "relaxed-ness". If you are back inside your own head, use that as a chance to tell yourself to move your hands, gesture, etc. when talking.
> because it assumes their time wouldn't be better spent applying for real job opportunities.

I suppose this is true, if you believe that hitting the additional quota is entirely performative.

OTOH my company has better representation of women than anywhere else I've worked previously, so I don't think it is entirely performative.
15%? Where I live it starts at 18%. Before we swiped/taped our own credit cards a tip at chipotle was unheard of. I go to Hanlon's razor here though. The POS system just defacto has this screen and no one removes it because some people do tip.

If I walk up and order something that doesn't require labor to make and I bus my own table and throw away my own trash, I don't tip. The business owner pays the staff from what I pay for the food. If not I'll cut the business owner out of the equation and pay the staff to make my food directly. They deserve the profit.

That's because no one really defined what "equity" means in the first place. In absence of a clear definition, people just fill in whatever they want.
Yeah, if you read the Korean language article[0] (or the Namu.wiki article[1]), they both refer it the function as preserving and storing kimchi, not really going for further fermenting. Most folks I know buy prepared kimchi and use the fridge to store / have it last a while (as well as using it as a secondary fridge). Given that optimal kimchi ripening goes from 2d to 35d changing the temperature from 20°C to 4°C[2], I suspect it would take an enormous time trying to ripen it purely in the -1°C fridge (typical kimchi fridge temperature).

So far, almost all interest comes from within the Clojure community. Getting people from outside of Clojure requires a lot of education around Lisps, FP, data-oriented programming, interactive programming, etc. It's a whole paradigm shift. I will tackle that, but I'm starting within the Clojure community first.

Mainly, the people interested in jank are the same folks interested in making Graal native images from their uberjars, combined with the folks interested in using some native lib from their Clojure code, combined with people who use Clojure reluctantly because they don't like the JVM. jank is significantly lighter, faster to start up, and has competitive runtime performance compared to the JVM.

Clojure is fast because of the JVM, not because it's a great compiler/runtime. jank is fast because of LLVM, yes, but also because a lot of work is going into the compiler/runtime to make it fast.
I vividly remember watching Battle Royale with my college roommate, and when it was over, we looked at each other and said "this would be an incredible premise for a video game". This would have been like 2004. We even tried to mod it into the original FarCry engine (the island setting was perfect), but it was too difficult for us. Too bad we didn't actually have the chops to do it, could have gotten the jump on Fortnite/PUBG by over a decade lol. Really wish we had stayed motivated, looking back on it.

edit: But yes, Battle Royale is a great movie, and Hunger Games totally rode its coattails.
