WeChat is an app that works inside China, so obviously it's subject to Chinese laws.

All countries have some restrictions on what is and is not okay to have on online platforms. China just adds in "social disruption" alongside content that could promote violence (which would be blocked on Facebook, etc. also)

You need to not just drink in propaganda... When something just "can't be done" (because it is being monitored), then it just doesn't matter even if you have ill intent.

Except Contexts provide a cancellation mechanism which can be used outwith of a specific dynamic call graph.

The documented semantics of the facility (and the implementation) seemed perfect for destroying a dynamic graph of CSP elements, which were exchanging messages. Where the cancellation causes the goroutines within the (think Actor-like) CSP element to clean up, tear down, and exit.

The warning about not storing it in a struct seems to assume it can only be used for one specific type of purpose, say web server processes and/or related database requests.

If I hadn't used it, I would have had to create something almost identical - but without the ability to store a data element.

ColliderScript: Covenants in Bitcoin via 160-bit hash collisions
I actually used Bun for the first time the other day and it was an amazing experience. All my projects have Webpack or Vite configured to let me write Typescript and once setup they work almost flawlessly but it’s a pain to set it all and not worth it for small scripts.

On the other hand Bun worked right out of the box. I had spent 10-30 minutes futzing around with node-ts or whatever the tool is to run TS “directly” on the CLI and I was dealing with the all the dreaded messages “not a module”, “can’t use import/require”, “ESM/CJS” and trying all the normal fixes (changing package.json module type, changing tsconfig, changing the way import/require) all to get a ~200 line script to run. I switched to Bun as a Hail Mary and it worked wonderfully.
If there in fact is a bunch of subterranean hydrogen that’s mostly or entirely free of carbon, that is a big deal. Still I worry that we are continuing to hitch our trailer to non renewable resources, which cannot be a long term basis for an advanced civilization.

Whatever happened to super deep geothermal drilling? That’s renewable at least on human time scales and we can tap quite a lot of power that way.

Although, they do seem willing to sell potentially.

China restricted them from selling their recommendation algorithm, and it's hard to sell TikTok without.

But, TikTok did immediately start work on an independent algorithm that has no ties to China, so that they can sell it if it really comes down to it.
If you mean Jesmond Dene, there's a petting zoo with a few small beasts and birds. I know they have a couple of breeds of goat but I don't recall seeing any sheep on my last visit (within the last month).
I too have to push back, because I have been the victim of these laws and profiling, and I'm not an "ignorant" person falling for propaganda as you seem to imply is the only way for anti-DEI sentiments to occur.

DEI is ideology and hidden threats of retaliation under the guise of "equality". And because nothing can be explicit, or it's all hidden under feel-good language (exactly the kind you used in your post). It adds a layer of redirection about what's really going on, and it all gets put forth with everyone having the understanding (because of examples) that if they don't find "diverse enough qualified" candidates, then they are racist and will be punished.

Meanwhile, the language provides cover for blatant anti-white, anti-asian and anti-male discrimination:

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/06/tech-industry-2020-anti-raci...

They even have specialized software that uses AI to determine race (profiling?): https://www.piratewires.com/p/gem-hr-software-dei

Or what about ESG that has a racial-quota point system that allows investors and people to discriminate against companies that don't conform? https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2021/10/30/racial-equity-aud...

This kind of stuff is just the tip of the iceberg, there is more: https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-2023-gei/

What about the fact that several countries (Western) have explicit gender-based quotas enacted as law. E.g. Norway, Germany, France, India, and others.

Or what about countries that have actual race-based points systems to discriminate against minority (white) groups: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Economic_Empowerment And no, just because it's some obscure and obfuscated "points system" doesn't mean it isn't racial discrimination, profiling and retaliation against companies that don't conform.

How some places in the US have race-quotas for boards:
https://pacificlegal.org/discriminatory-mandates-prevent-qua...

And there are so many more, it's right infront of our eyes:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/red-state-sues-tec...

So why don't we drop the pretense, ordinary people see what's really going on, and no amount of sugar-coating and "feel good" words will make the very real discrimination go away, and they won't be gaslight and have their concerns waved away because of "falling for right wing propaganda" and "please read up on what DEI truly is".
Right now it seems more and more like we will all just end up using Chinese AI. All this regulation is doing is forcing Chinese companies to figure out how to do more with less.

Who cares if Chinese AGI is a year behind OpenAI/Anthropic. At some level, progress will stall and then OpenAI/Anthropic will be on the clock before being undercut out of business on price.

They are probably just positioning now for when that happens and they have to become some kind of regulated utility for US government AI use.

Just another example of having our head up our ass as Americans. Seems like what we are doing will almost guarantee most the world outside the US is using Chinese AI in the future.
Hoare's paper is in the list, no?
I feel like it is the same with ORMs argument is always "they don't know proper SQL so they use ORM instead".

Which usually from people I know is they do know SQL and ORM and "no ORM crowd" doesn't have much to show.

Exactly the same with Tailwind, I see coworkers doing Tailwind and knowing CSS well and not being "pure vegan CSS developers".

But on the other hand we don't hire people who would utter such things like "no ORM" or "no framework" because those were also as in experience people who would create technical debt for others to deal with.
There is precedent for this, in that a chain of pubs for gay men was granted permission to discriminate, by the same governmental commission that refused this for the lesbian organization.

From htps://humanrights.gov.au/sites/default/files/lesbian_rights_australia_submission_1.pdf:

> On that note, I would also like to once again point out the comparatively preferential treatment that men have received when they apply for exemptions to protect their spaces on the basis of sex, sexuality and gender identity. Often little more than anecdotal evidence has been considered compelling enough to support such applications for men. The Peel, The Laird and The Sircuit Bar operate venues and events where they can rightfully exclude would-be patrons on the basis of sex,
sexuality and gender identity. The Peel, a venue exclusively for gay men, even happily advertises itself as "exempt from anti-discrimination laws". Meanwhile, in regards to the Lesbian Action Group’s
application (and other similar applications in regards to lesbian-only events), dozens of submissions from experts, containing tomes of studies and references on the subject, are apparently not compelling enough to the Commission. The irony is not lost on me that the Commission's sexist
double standards will be a primary reason for refusing this exemption under the Sex Discrimination Act.

So on the same basis, why should an organisation set up for the benefit of those who are both female and homosexual not be permitted a similar exemption from anti-discrimination laws, so they can legally exclude from their own public events all others who are not both female and homosexual?

There are other ways that could be achieved, like cloud storage constantly mirroring local but encrypted with local keys or keys controlled by the user.

This is the iCloud model and it works. Imagine a more open version with competing storage providers.

This, however, would hand control back to the user, which would be bad for the software industry with its addiction to lock in and recurring revenue.
XCode has always been such a disaster. I've been doing iOS dev on and off for over a decade and while the developer experience was not good at first, somehow it got consistently worse every year.

Even know I have no idea what some unlabeled icons are supposed to mean and have to stumble and guess where critical tools are, discovery is just terrible. Friends who don't have to use it normally react "and people live like this?" when first seeing the kind of things you have to do in a regular daily workflow.

I also decided very quickly to just use two editors way back then - Appcode first and then hilariously even Jetbrains gave up. Nowadays with fastlane I can luckily keep my XCode interactions to a minimum.
XCode is beyond broken, it doesn't need any feedback, anybody who uses it for more than 10 minutes can see it's awful. We know it, Apple knows it, everybody knows it.

This software isn't in an "it would be cool to improve this" stage but something like "can it still be saved?" stage.

Ideally there would be reform of the legal immigration process as well. The US has supported UN NGOs which incentivize quasi-legal migration. Migrants claiming asylum have been coached through the process and subsidized. Meanwhile the backlog for processing is untenable. What else can be expected under this scenario? Of course these alleged asylum seekers will find work.

The process should be streamlined for legitimate asylum claims and legal immigration. Applicants of any type shouldn't wait months or sometimes years. The process shouldn't require lawyers or byzantine procedures.

It looks bad when the government is subsidizing individuals who arguably abuse the system. Those who wish to abide by the rules are put through an expensive, kafakesque bureaucracy. The absolute worst are the individuals who prey upon the migrants and exploit women and children in the process.

Mass deportations are not the ideal solution, but the current incentive structure has created a horrible situation.

I love the dickens out of the Mac hardware and even quite a few things even about the software. But Xcode for me is something homebrew and other language package managers need as a dependency for some packages, and that's all. Having tried again recently to use Xcode, it's still a joke of an IDE with an unfunny punchline.
In Brazil there were large warehouses in São Paulo near the local “electronics” street, Santa Efigênia (we joked she was the saint patron of electrical engineering).

From those places you could get almost anything, from a tomography machine or a jet engine test stand, all the way to each and every kind of electronic component of every imaginable vintage.

As far as I know, the ecosystem that powered it no longer exists. I got a sizeable chunk of my vintage computer collection there.
Immigration helps business owners: the price of labor goes down. If the advantage they get from it also "tickles down" to the general public (most voters, pre-existing laborers) depends. If wages stay low due to immigration that may be considered a bad thing, if goods are cheaper that may be a good thing, and more trade ("better economy") is super important! /s

Most people that live in healthy communities do not like a large influx of newcomers into their communities: they prefer to keep it the way it was. This is why I believe voters vote against immigration.

So on one hand the general public is against, on the other hand the business owners are in favor.

Let's see how this pans out. Usually political parties are more strongly against (illegal) immigration when rallying, and more in favor of it when they are in power.
Is there some alternative, though? Using an LLM might speed up writing code, but obviously can't speed up reading and interpreting it.

Indeed, salaries are better in the US, especially AI jobs salaries.

But you also need less savings in the EU due to a much better social security system, e. g. free healthcare in case you get unemployed, free university (that alone saves you > 100K US$/kid),...

If China is using more renewables, then why are they producing way more GHG? See how this line of reasoning is flawed? This reality undermines your snark about having a higher % mix or per capita production, which is an incomplete rebuttal and serves greenwashing arguments.

Software Engineer KPIs: Good, Bad, or Just Unintended Consequences?
I'm curious to hear from those in the trenches:

What KPIs are you measured against?

Where would you rank them on the spectrum from: measurement theater > ok > super effective?

This was prompted by running across Adam Thompson’s 2018 paper about KPIs that takes a systems approach to measurement.

I’d definitely like to hear from other devs, but it’s also cool to hear from people in any field or role.

P.S. If you want to read the article, search "KPIs that break silos: more Goldratt Gold Adam Thompson" and you'll find the PDF.
It's far too much magic for my taste. I'm really looking forward to the first non-beta release of Tanstack Start. It offers many of the same advantages without the overkill.
Probably tough to fix small models with fine-tuning... You'd likely need to train them with enough data from languages (and maybe translations between them) that they need to support, so that they can connect ideas in different languages properly.

Separately, the fact that they can translate between languages where they have never seen any translation data in their inputs shows that they have internal models of the world and language, that go beyond what one might expect from a statistical parrot.

They do have world understanding - perhaps limited some by the fact that their input data may not cover a lot of everyday things.

Anything that is south of the River Thames is considered "South" (prounounced "Souf" in MLE [1]), no matter the actual distance.

E.g. Waterloo Station would be considered South London but is actually at the same latitude as Buckingham Palace!

Hence why a Londoner would never describe Vauxhall as "Central".

Londoners would generally discount any part of this map south of the river from "Central London":

A pattern in some embedded programming is to have an "arena" (just a bunch of pre-allocated memory) and then allow "malloc" (really super simple malloc) from that. But "free" is a no-op and does nothing. (It leaks all memory.) Then you just release the whole arena when you are done. You just reason about and/or test your code until it runs with a given arena size and call it a day. This way you can run "legacy" code written with allocations in mind, but the allocation is super fast with computable upper bounds on how long it takes worst case.

Super crude but useful sometimes.
Samsung Electronics Slashes Foundry Investment by over 50% for 2025
Apple has a culture of ignoring bugs and just working on features.

The software program org decides what is going to happen for the next release, and engineers are assigned, and no resources are left to fix any existing bugs. The idea is for there to be “zero bugs” by the time a release is done, but this really means “any remaining bugs are punted to the N+1 release”. But when the N+1 release comes around, the cycle repeats and the program org picks the next thing to do, and everyone forgets about all the bugs that were punted. Repeat forever.

Engineers would kill for a “zero new features, let’s just fix bugs” release, but such a release would basically mean the program org has nothing to do, and the program org is in charge, so it never happens. They’ll mutter things like “we can’t go on stage and just not announce any features”, which isn’t wrong per se, but the first step to fixing a problem is to admit you have one, and that will never happen.

The whole thing is set up to produce worse software over time. It’s really really sad.

Protobuf is an atrocious protocol. Whatever other problems gRPC has may be worse, but Protobuf doesn't make anything better that's for sure.

The reason to use it may be that you are required to by the side you cannot control, or this is the only thing you know. Otherwise it's a disaster. It's really upsetting that a lot of things used in this domain are the first attempt by the author to make something of sorts. So many easily preventable disasters exist in this protocol for no reason.

LLM aside (which is just GPT-4o and Claude 3.5), I imagine that the GUI for the IDE may have better Chinese support in some way.

Although I haven't tried to find a Chinese mode myself.

That it's targeted at Chinese abroad is just what I saw from Googling it and reading the SCMP (Singapore) article on it.

The company that made it is also from Singapore (even if it's under Bytedance's umbrella).
