Yeah, i mainly deal with react/next + supabase on a daily basis at work.

And do sometimes think of small apps i could build for fun, but the thought of doing react, again, is tiring in and of itself lol plus the whole setup around getting express running and picking packages.

Rails is ready out of the box, for me to not have to screw around with.

Just love the ruby syntax(along with python, which i am actively learning now with datacamp). Its cleaner, and i can probably do 90% of what i do in react there. Then for the rest throw solid js or svelte, or even just react for specific components.
Meta Kills DEI Programs
>a hallmark of a healthy consensus, is that no one is really happy with the decision

No, no one gets exactly what they want (unless everyone wants the same thing), but that doesn't mean everyone is unhappy with the result.
A lot of web frameworks etc do most of the instrumentation for you these days. For instance using opentelemetry-js and self hosting something like https://signoz.io should take less than an hour to get spun up and you get a ton of data without writing any custom code.
The repair will have to be performed as per manufacturer documentation by a licensed airframe mechanic and signed off by an inspector. This may or may not be a quick process depending on the severity of the damage and availability of replacement parts. The FAA generally wouldn't grant emergency exceptions to those rules, except perhaps for a ferry flight to another maintenance facility.

That title image looks like it is from the set of a sitcom starring Mark Zuckerberg.

DEI initiatives have always been a dog and pony show, not a thing executives have ever truly cared about and they are now in a political environment where they can show what they believe in. People will learn the hard way these companies have never cared about you.

Alex Schultz, the company’s chief marketing officer and highest-ranking gay executive, suggested in an internal post that people seeing their queer friends and family members abused on Facebook and Instagram could lead to increased support for LGBTQ rights.
I'm curious which sector that is? I work in energy.
Boy, I don't agree with that last. It's a pretty interesting book, but the writing is pedestrian and there are far too many asides and stories that detract from the main points. By way of contrast, I read it because it was recommended after I said I loved "The Soul of a New Machine" (Tracy Kidder), which really is an extremely well-written book, in the "every word counts" sense. "The Soul of a New Machine" is a book that a writer can appreciate for the writing.
I think this is the norm for any topic that is politicized. You could have ChatGPT or some other LLM write the memo and it wouldn't be much better or worse.

Top google result, for me, for 'send metrics to otel' is https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/metrics/. If I go through the the Language APIs & SDK more whole bunch of useless junk https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/js/

Compare to the InfluxDB "send data" getting started https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/api-guide/client-... which gives you exactly it in a few lines.

> Maintaining a suite of proptest[1] strategies alongside the codebase is not a very much larger investment than writing unit tests by hand,

I actually generate a unit tests with LLMs a lot lately. They do a decent job and you can just ask it to be a little more exhaustive, test any edge cases it can think of, or instruct it to deal with specific ones. I know a fair bit about how to write good tests and the effort you can put in that. But LLMs can generate better tests than me way faster.

If anything, they are less likely to do a half-assed job of it than me because I tend to run out of patience doing repetitive tedious shit. This is a healthy trait to have for a software engineer: we are supposed to make stuff easier by automating it. If it feels repetitive, your reflex should be to write code to make it less repetitive. Documentation is the same. I generate that too these days and since it is so easy, I do it more often and sooner.

LLMs might trigger a minor revolution in the adoption of formal method verification. Generating a correct specification is a combination of tedious and probably relatively easy for an LLM given enough context like working code, documentation, and other hints as to what the thing should do.

I'd be a lot more likely to bother with that stuff if I can just let it generate specification and then briefly glance through them than if I have to spell everything out manually.

I think using Rust kind of signals that you care about correctness. It's compiler is probably the closest to proving your system is probably correct that you can get without resorting to formal methods. And probably a lot easier than trying to bolt on formal methods to languages that don't even use a compiler or explicitly specified types.
Eh, for me those all weakened the book.
Africa is a graveyard of infrastructure.
Figure out the core technologies they use and become an expert at them. Read the documentation of those technologies like a book. Is kafka at the heart of the stack? Learn everything related to kafka and setup a small dummy instance to play around with. This can take some time but after a couple of months you'll be more knowledgeable about the technology than many people on the team who have been there longer.
The fragmentation is more an implication of the ever changing landscape of JS frameworks and build tools than Rails.

For me, Stimulus adds just the right amount of structure over Vanilla JS.

And Turbo/Hotwire feels like building skyscrapers with wood vs. steel.
That's because you have to find the distance between your eyes and the stereogram to make it work. Crossing your eyes is easier because your eyes can turn inwards far more than they can turn outwards, so it works at more distances.
It only seems bizarre if you didn't consider DEI programs to be largely symbolic corporate puffery in the first place. For all of the hate they received from some political spheres they were largely just PR initiatives right from the start, especially in larger companies.
I wonder if they used the official exchange rate or the black market one
> acknowledging that such DEI program was performative in the first place.

That's exactly what they're doing and I don't think that's a secret.

> This kind of announcement seems extremely self defeating and unlikely to please anyone and piss off just about anyone that cares about this in any way shape or form, on either side.

It's not about making users or bloggers happy. They don't care whether those people are "pissed" because they're just going to keep coming to stare at ads anyway. It was about keeping regulators disempowered by proactively tossing an agitated public some crumbs, but they don't need to worry about that for a while now. They're obviously just trying to keep their staffing strategies open and unshackled so that they can pursue whatever business objectives they see coming up in the next few years, and aren't at a disadvantage against competitors like Musk/X who resisted these kinds of things all along.
I think it's somewhat important to understand meta and its products are _not_ tech products. Outside of React and llama and the like, Meta is not building for or speaking to the tech community. If what they do or say sounds like populism, it's because it is. It can be ham fisted, because the majority of people are only barely paying attention, and the majority of people is who facebook wants to please.

Like politics, things feel dumb and ham-fisted, because they are. They're playing at winning wide swaths of billions of people, and the majority of people aren't paying attention, so hypocrisy doesn't register as well as just being vaguely aligned with what's popular.

I don't mean any of this in an derogatory "unwashed masses" sort of way, it's just how it is.
You can manipulate form fields at anytime, and setInterval is provided so you can have things that run in an infinite loop. But yeah, as a first approximation, the only things js in pdf can do is mutate form fields and react to events related to form fields, unless your pdf reader is acrobat and that's something else entirely.

The recent policy carve-out allowing "allegations of mental illness" towards LGBT people (but no other minority) definitely speaks to a lack of universality, but that's from Facebook itself: https://transparency.meta.com/policies/community-standards/h...
FWIW the "datadog doesn't like otel" thing is kind of old hat, and the story was a little more complicated at the time too.

Nowadays they're contributing more to the project directly and have built some support to embed the collector into their DD agent. Other vendors (splunk, dynatrace, new relic, grafana, honeycomb, sumo logic, etc.) contribute to the project a bunch and typically recommend using OTel to start instead of some custom stuff from before.

Well, he is now a convicted felon.
I've gotta agree on this. That's a bummer for the thousands of people working with hyper-expensive providers. It might not even be those providers' faults: it's probably not cheap being the first company to run infrastructure into less developed areas. And yet, should we hold down the millions of people who want affordable Internet access because of it? I don't think so.

Edit: And for transparency, I'm about as far from a Musk fan as it's possible to be. I'm not saying this because it's him doing it. I'm glad someone is, and if happens to be him, fine, so be it.
This comment is based upon n two assumptions:

1) Twitter has imploded, and is on the road to Myspace level relevance

2) that implosion is due to a removal of moderation

I'll try to keep it politically neutral. But this and other Facebook announcements means inexorable collapse is on the medium term horizon, because they mirror what Twitter did

These actions could possibly be done with social network circa early to mid 2010s.

But since the rise of massive online campaigns of disinformation or propaganda, and then rocket fueled by AI...

It means not only will left-wing people run away in droves, but then toxicity explodes and successive waves of moderates and apolitical people get driven away.

It's interesting because people seem to have forgotten what the word moderation means.

It's keeping out the extremes. In particular, the extremes of emotions. Which then cloud any sort of productive discussion.

Without moderation, especially with the organized ai and misinformation and other social Network phenomena, The pure outrage cycle while individually effective for posts, very rapidly makes the overall ecosystem completely intolerable.

Because one thing at the political extremes I would argue more strongly on the right but definitely on the left, is intolerance.

The point of OTel is interoperability.

For example the author of the software instruments it with OTel -- either language interface or wire protocol -- and the operator of the software uses the backend of choice.

Otherwise, you have a combinatorial matrix of supported options.

(Naturally, this problem is moot if the author and operator are the same.)

This is the best non-fiction book I have ever read. It's great simply as a piece of writing -- and the story it tells is an interesting one.

God save us if they're updating their KPI from "engagement" to "impact"
Well a lot of this depends on context. I've worked at a place where (for reasons beyond my knowledge), there was a pre-existing false conception of my experience and level. In that situation, it was important to disprove that false perception early. Especially in a competitive environment, establishing your cred is important.

In a more functional and team oriented environment, your advice is absolutely critical.

Regardless, it's the personal relationships that are primary here. And there can be some nuance in how to handle those. Jumping in and alienating people would not be a wise choice :)
I believe it’s better because it is more natural to eyes. You may also want to play with the perspective. E.g. the hall here looks much better from 0.4m than up close on my phone due to the picture’s perspective. https://triaxes.com/docs/3DTheory-en/522ParallelCrosseyedvie...

There’s a massive transition happening in the video games industry right now. Gaming has become a full-blown cultural movement, and many fail to appreciate how it has already become the dominant form of leisure and entertainment for an entire generation.

But as culture has evolved, technology has advanced, and more people have gravitated toward games, the industry incumbents that run the show haven’t kept up. Our big bet is that by empowering game creators with better technology, we'll make the entire ecosystem more welcoming, connected, efficient, creative, and fun for all.

We’re an early stage startup backed by Thrive Capital, Griffin Gaming Partners, Ribbit Capital and a16z's inaugural SPEEDRUN class. Our mission is to help game creators achieve independence by building the tools they need to start, run, and scale their businesses.

I got into an argument with the manager of South End Press back in '94 about whether 'Futuresplash' (soon to be Macromedia Flash) had a future, he thought it did and he was right.

Years later I was working at the library and got a little bit steamed because South End Press was reusing ISBN's after books went out of print which was allowed but, I think, lame.

One of my strategies for researching a topic is looking a few up in the OPAC, finding them in the stacks, and finding more books on the topic in those areas. (In the Library of Congress system, machine vision could be under QA56 with the rest of computer science or around TA1630, thus "areas".)

From time to time I've thought about trying to replicate the feel of this with some kind of UI given that our library moved a lot of the collection into deep archives and we have a very fast 'Borrow Direct' service with other peers)
Do you have any sources for that opening statement?
"impact" can mean all things
Agreed. Even if you desire, and want DEI programs to be meaningful, the actual implementations don't actually do anything useful.

Reading the accomplishments in 2024 for our DEI program, it was essentially just marketing. Which has some level of value for sure, but the most valuable thing that came out of it was the number of conferences the head of the department went to.
I know and trust that the implicit disclaimers are clear, that this comes with absolutely no guarantees of not being terrible for anyone else :)

—I would indeed prefer the shorter duration of Zolpidem! Zopiclone was the only Z-drug option the doctor was willing to use. Fortunately, the caffeine seems to kind of mitigate the longish duration of Zopiclone. And Zolpidem has somewhat dangerously recreational effects on me :sweat_smile: … and is slightly addictive to me as well.

I’d very much like to be able to try Zaleplon instead. It’s more recent than the two other Z-drugs and the shortest-acting; Not available in my country.

I've fallen in love with the language since around last year, and I'm very active on the Discord server (the language is still in development so you can go there and give ideas, suggestions or just hang out!).

The stack makes it feel completely different from the other array languages. Instead of using infix functions with reusable variables, code runs RTL (for various reasons https://www.uiua.org/docs/rtl) and you can manipulate the stack with the various primitives, which I find nicer than the other array languages (APL, J, BQN, etc...).

Once you get a hang of the glyphs and their meanings you can really start writing code, which turns out to be very readable due to the colors the language gives to glyphs and user-defined functions, as well as the simplicity of how the stack works and how the language is designed overall.
But why are countries the best division? Why not continents, or unions of countries (e.g. EU or USA), or sub-country divisions like states, or even smaller regions? Countries don't have the highest possible impact on all people, that would probably be unions. It's also not the most direct impact, that would depend on each country, but for e.g. Germany that would be the individual states.

The per-capita measurement allows you to directly and meaningfully compare any subdivision, while per-country isn't even meaningfully comparable with other per-country measurements.

Show HN: Putting all the best startup/ founder/ operator advice in one place
Almost all advice on startups (founding or operating) - & high performance generally - exists in books, articles, podcasts etc.

We know how the best found/ operate yet it's quite hard to actually apply their habits, lessons & techniques day-to-day in our own lives.

So I have put all the best advice in one place in a microlearning-esque tool. This is just the MVP.

I posted this ~1 month ago but since done a big product (& marketing) overhaul, & got my first paying users.

Would be super grateful for any feedback.

You might for the first. Maybe the second. Probably not for the fifth. Certainly not the tenth. You may be tempted to hit the fiftieth.

If everyone around you feels the need to help, and provides the same insights, because they're not experts, then they're providing you the same repeated insights that you encountered at the beginning of your journey. A journey you may already be decades into, and having the same information shoved down your throat, day after day after day.

There is a reason that "Have you tried yoga?" is a meme in the chronic illness groups. Yes, it may provide some limited help, like most exercise. But 3652 days of hearing about it, later? Your patience might not have lasted.
I’ve interviewed candidates for DEI specific roles. Not sure how that aligns with your narrative.
It's not deep insight. I am for real DEI.

That is not what is actually happening. The net impacts are essentially marketing, which has value in it's own right for sure, but I'd prefer real change as opposed to marketing impacts, and forced trainings everyone must take.
Goes way, way back—I remember announcements nearly 20 years ago where they were basically removing/setting bad defaults on what primitive privacy controls they had at the time, but calling it making things "more social."
