> Often I’ll just open the files in IDEA to have sane hotkeys, my plugins, multiple cursors, and the list goes on and on and on.

"Sane hotkeys" and "my plugins" are subjective (and suggest that you probably don't use Xcode as your primary editor). And Xcode has had multiple cursors since Xcode 10 in 2018 https://mjtsai.com/blog/2018/04/29/multiple-cursors-in-xcode...

The reason AppCode died is that Apple platform engineers on the whole are very happy with Xcode. Source: I worked as an Apple platforms engineer for a decade across many teams and the person who complained about Xcode the most was always me, and overall I also think it was usually pretty good, arguably great. That is until they added Swift, which always had performance and stability issues (many of the complaints in this thread are fair for Swift support in Xcode). It still worked quite well for me for the C family of languages though (I haven't used Xcode seriously in a couple of years now).

If your going to give your opinion on Xcode, it's a good idea to give a count for years that you've worked in the program. For an IDE I personally wouldn't bother with anyone's opinion that hasn't put at least 1000 hours in the program, and a lot of the comments in this thread sound like people who just opened the program for a one-off task and formed their opinion based on that.

My colleagues for years have been people who live in Xcode, eight hours a day, five days a week, and I've never heard opinions like this thread expressed by them (except for the Swift support).

"charter schools aren't cheaper either. They cherry pick students"

The schools in my area have a lottery system. My daughter got in, but we ended up keeping her in public schools, which are still really good. This would have at least given us a choice if the schools were terrible.

Many of the students in our charter schools come from terrible districts and those students would otherwise not get a good education. The reason the districts are terrible? Local corruption. They get more money than ever and they always seem to have a short fall at the end of the year.
great write up.

I'm starting to imagine a world in which every application has some sort of LLM-powered feature. Assuming that to be true, where do you see the future of observability and product analytics heading? Do you imagine software teams use two vendors, i.e., one for LLM observability and one for more general product observability? Or do you think they converge over time?

Your onboarding is impressive, one of the few products where "get set up in one line of code" is true. Why — do you think — more competitors don't use a proxy and instead go with a pure async logging option?
I think the main complaints overall with apps like Grindr, Lex et al comes in a few parts:

1) Mainstream dating apps are full of very profit driven patterns, and feel manipulative and corporate. A fair followup would be why would t4t not eventually become like this? I think probably the main differentiator is that t4t is written to run extremely cheap, and my goals for it are mostly just for it to support me financially. I have gotten quite far as a single person team, and currently I am using something like 2% of the processing power within my payment tier on Supabase. There is huge growth potential with little cost increase.

2) Probably the bigger issue is that there is a generational divide between "old queers" and "young queers", and the divide does seem to fall largely on trans comfort. Many older gays feel like their space is invaded, and many younger ones feel discriminated against. I think this pattern plays out regardless of gender. It is helpful to set intentions from the start, and so the intentions of this app from the start are to be most friendly to the "new school" way of seeing things.

3) Finally, these apps are all pretty explicitly sexualized. I know that might sound funny given how sexual the app I created can get, but I am not really pushing that. This is just a free and open community space nothing more. You can use it for whatever you like. You can date on it but you can also just share hot takes and thoughts.
I strongly believe we need to use Open APIs for agents. OpenAPI is the perfect specification standard that would allow for an open world and an open internet for agents.

When OpenAI first came out with their first version of GPTs, it was all based on open APIs.

Now they are moving away from it more and more. This means they want to control the market because they don't want to base it on an open standard.

It's such a shame!
Funny. I think the most common usage I have is using it at the command line to write commands with vim set as my EDITOR so the AI completion really helps.

This will help for offline support (on planes and such).

Not sure how it is in Ottawa but here in the US Midwest distances are frequently measured in units of time. I might say I'm an hour from Green Bay or two hours from Madison, though I don't remember the actual mileage. That said, it usually only applies to distances over 20 minutes (between 7 and 25 miles, depending on speed limits).

No. It's not matching them, it's clearly exceeding them. The previous post provided the numbers.

I mean widely useful things, maybe not very obvious things, that no one has thought of yet or that are rotting in obscurity. If Codd hadn't basically invented relational databases, would we even know what we're missing?

For example: Rust took a bunch of ideas from some research languages that one guy did 1-3 decades ago at the time. These ideas have probably always been good and useful, but they weren't put to use, not all of them at least.
This particular OP notes they were bootstrapped. That term might mean any number of things here, but I would imagine they had less exposure to losing out.

> - there are multiple ways to retry - you can retry establishing the connection (e.g. say DNS resolution fails for a 30s window) _or_ you can retry establishing the stream

This isn't a difficult problem to solve. We apply both of those strategies depending on circumstances. We can even re-connect clients to the same backend after long disconnection periods to support upload resuming etc.

> - your load-balancer needs to persist the stream to the backend; it can't just re-route per single HTTP request/response

This applies whether the stream is uni- or bi-directional. We already have uni-directional streams working well at scale, so this is not a concern.

> - how long are your timeouts? if you don't receive a message for 1s, OK, the client can probably keep the stream open, but what if you don't receive a message for 30s? this percolates through the entire request path, generally in the form of "how do I detect when a service in the request path has failed"

We maintain streams for very long periods. Hours or days. Clients can detect dropped streams (we propagate errors in both directions, although AWS ALBs are causing problems here) and the client knows how to re-establish a connection. And again this applies whether streams are uni- or bi-directional.
Interesting marketing for Scale AI. I'd be surprised if any foundation models started benchmarking against this.

Captchas seem like the more interesting test. As long as there are captchas that average people can solve, but computers can't, we will still have a long way to go toward artificial intelligence.
Any partner that pays enough $$$ can likely do whatever they want. That is obvious by the fact that a year of driving history is displayed. If they didn't want to sell the data/access then they wouldn't be collecting such a long history of it. This is evil. I will avoid being forced to give this information at every possible turn and the companies doing this, and hiding how much they collect, should all be shut down.
So it compiles to a single executable that I can send to someone who isn’t on Nix?

Because if I wanted a portable shell script, I’d just write shell and check if something is executable in my path.

This just looks like Nix-only stuff that exists in an effort to be ultra declarative, and in order to use it you’d need to be on Nix.
Writable Blueray discs secretly belong in the highest tier of important consumer technologies.

No other widely available technology is really suitable for archival digital storage.

Most data today will be lost by the end of the century. Most data stored on the kind of archival Bluray discs found at your local office supply store (eg: M-disc) will be intact.

Not only that, but Bluray was widespread enough that, in the year 2100, it will be possible - though perhaps take moderate effort - to track down a device or business that can read it.

Fair, though you still have axle standards to consider. If it's a QR bike, it's pretty straightforward. But, most new bikes (in the US) are through-axle and disc brake.
They also gave no indication of what types of jobs were going to be created. It's pretty hot-air.

>Almost all of these analyses of ternary hinge on the idea of efficiency of representation, being the (number of possible symbols) * (number of digits to represent).
>But it seems way more useful to use the log of the number of possible symbols

This always bothered me as well. Hardware cost does not scale linearly with the number of possible states of each digit.

My personal theory is that the real hardware cost is less related to the number of possible states/symbols, and more related to the amount of effort required to reliably distinguish one state from another. Taking a cue from information theory, that implies the complexity per digit should track the Eb/No (SNR per information bit) of the symbol set.

It is not my job to tell Microsoft to correct their behavior and follow standards.

There are standards for a reason [1] and if you break them, no matter how good your intentions you are in the wrong because you've changed the expected behavior. Full stop.

The Internet works because everyone has agreed to follow standards. If Google woke up one day and decided that every IP address that ended in an odd number would receive a captcha every time they searched people would understandably get pissed off. Well ISPs have thousands of IP addresses so for the convenience of the user it's the ISPs that need to assign their users IP addresses ending in an even number so that they can search without captchas, right? No!

Same thing here. Just because Microsoft and Google benefit from economies of scale and have many users does not give them a pass to break standards whenever they see fit. There is a reason why we have RFCs and mailing lists to have these sorts of discussions.

When I was in college in '93 getting my BA is CS, my mother once told me: "You should email Cousin Mark. He does stuff with computers and I bet he has an email address."

> This applies to more than just total bans, it’s also why California can have such influence on automobiles and Texas influences textbooks etc.

This isn't because the existing commerce clause jurisprudence excludes the federal government from regulating these things, it's because the federal legislature passed legislation carving out an exception for California to do that:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_Air_Act_(United_States)#...

> Trademark infringement on trademarks held by an out of state entity breaks the principle you’re talking about without any sale directly crossing state lines.

Trademarks are already regional. If there is a Joe's Diner in California and another one run by a completely different Joe in Massachusetts, there isn't a problem any more than it would be if there was an independent Joe's Diner in Canada or England. Whereas if there is a Joe's Diner chain headquartered in California which is operating franchises in Massachusetts and they therefore want a federal rather than state-level trademark on the name, that's interstate commerce. Making interstate operations a prerequisite for a federal trademark would not be a real problem.

> Same deal if some state decides to subsidize growing broccoli, and that’s ultimately what decided the issue.

That's not what happened in Wickard. The state wasn't subsidizing anything, the federal government was prohibiting farmers from growing wheat. One of the farmers grew wheat for his own use, in the same state, and was fined for it.

The Court's theory was that this affected interstate commerce, because if he didn't grow it then he might have bought it. Which is a problem if you're trying to do national-level central planning of wheat production, but that's not what the commerce clause is supposed to be for. Everything "affects" interstate commerce. The purpose of the grant is supposed to be to deal with the issues that arise specifically as a result of commercial interactions between people in different states.

https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Guyot

The son of a small business owner developed a passion for history, historic preservation, and horses from a young age. Trained in the military as a competition rider, he opened a riding stable at the Château de Valençay in the Indre department in 1972. In 1975, Guyot and his brother Jacques, who was four years younger, purchased the Château de La Roche in the Sologne region, and in 1979, they acquired the dilapidated Château de Saint-Fargeau in the Yonne department for a minimal amount. After failing with a "high culture" festival, Guyot succeeded in financing the castle's restoration through large historical spectacles involving the local population. The castle grounds also house a collection of old steam locomotives.

In the mid-1990s, he conceived the Guédelon project: since 1997, about 60 employees and 200-300 annual volunteers have been building a small fortress in 13th-century style, located 40 kilometers southwest of Auxerre - using exclusively medieval techniques. The planned construction time is 25 years. This project has also become financially self-sustaining.
I have viewed many job adverts in my many years.

I never applied for any job that stated in the Job description "competitive salary".

What does this mean? competitive with the other minimum wage staff they employ or competitive with the average pay in that particular profession/industry.

I want to see how much I am going to get paid before I apply for any job.

Imagine all those thousands of employers who missed out on employing me with all my talents, education and life experience just because they were trying to be manipulative around the salary they wanted to pay.

When you asked your builder how much it was going to cost to build the extention to your property you would not accept him saying "Oh yeah mate, its going to be competitively priced".

Why do we accept this BS from employers.

Thanks for posting this. Lovely article on the life of an unknown (to me, at least) artist, who it seems was foreshadowed by her much more famous sibling.

Her paintings definitely look very original. At least stylistically, they appear as distinctly identifiable, as, say Tamara de Lempicka's.

Even if AAA video games like Fortnite can be addictive, you are limited in when you can realistically engage in them (at a computer, focused). Whereas social media can be ever present.

Great questions, thanks!

> Could you provide anymore insight into how this was achieved?
The observations we have consist of spectra - light from the star is split into wavelengths with a fine resolution (we can distinguish very small differences in wavelength/frequency). When the planet passes between the star and us, its atmosphere absorbs a tiny fraction of the stellar light and we can see that : Fingerprints in the spectrum that are associated to molecules we have characterized in the lab (here we see carbon monoxide and water). The way we can isolate the signature from the planet - compared to the signature from the star or say the water in the earth atmosphere - is that the planet is moving and its velocity with regards to us is varying ! The Doppler effect (think ambulance coming towards you making the sound higher pitch) means that the signature from the planet also get shifted in frequency.

> Any interesting challenges associated with the measurement?
Yeah, one of the big challenge is that the Earth atmosphere is not so transparent in the near-infrared so it absorbs a lot of light and pollutes a lot our data. Getting rid of the atmospheric spectrum with high enough accuracy is challenging, but we manage - either doing some physics and modelling it -- and/or using some data analysis tool (PCA for instance).

> What are the practical limitations of this methodology?
The main one is the amount of light we need, that's why this instrument sits at the Very Large Telescope (the primary mirror is 8m in diameter) one of the largest European telescope. We need to have very good signal, as we are splitting the light into many wavelengths. And we cannot just take very long exposures, because the transits of the planets in front of the star is done in a limited time (few hours)

> How did you pick the planet as a target to measure?
Normally we start with a big spreadsheet of all planets, and we work out which ones are observable from a given telescope, which stars are bright enough, which planet could have observable signal. WASP-127 was studied in the past and other teams already detected some molecules, but we did not expect to measure this kind of winds.
