Whatever the industry comes up with, it needs time to mature. What’s in question is mature and still useful - we can learn a whole lot from it. So the only take here is to not jump on from bandwagons to bandwagons and stick to some principles to maturity.

The blog post in question (which I wrote) literally opens with a link to https://www.cryptofails.com/post/75204435608/write-crypto-co... that encourages people to learn about it! Yes, even if that type of learning means (privately) writing crypto code.

Why would you expect the comments about it to argue in favor of "still learning" when the blog post never advocated against learning? They aren't making this point because I didn't make the contrary one, so there's nothing to argue with.

That you're only seeing negativity and discouragement is a cognitive distortion. I'm not qualified to help people with those, but I hope pointing that out might help you see that the world isn't against you.

That software developers presently and generally are bad at understanding cryptography doesn't mean it's impossible to learn, or that you should be discouraged from learning.

Though part of the complaints about the mini fridge is due to lack of insulation. But he compares it to his usual fridge, which has a similar power draw as this 60W mini fridge, and there's a 50x difference in volume to cool.
Hmmm... that sounds like exposed provenance (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/ptr/index.html#exposed-...) to me. When a pointer loses its provenance, its allocation is put in the global exposed list. Any pointer without a clear provenance then can alias any (all) of the exposed provenance allocations. What you are saying is that you want all pointers to behave this way. While that can prevent miscompiles, I would assume that that would also lead to massive slowdowns in runtime performance.
The idea that you need evidence to justify your beliefs is a philosophical position.

Everything you're complaining about being replaced not only still exists but is still widely used and in many cases continues to be updated and improved, often in response to the ideas introduced by these newer technologies. Would relational databases have JSON support without NoSQL’s rise in popularity? I doubt it.

This just isn’t a problem. There are more than enough programmers in the world to explore different approaches to common problems. We all ultimately learn and benefit from those experiments. The cycle of reinvention isn’t some great failure that requires fixing. It's how progress works.

And yes, people will not understand everything about what exists or has existed before trying something new that may or may not work out. We're humans, not robots. We don't have perfect memory and we don't have the bandwidth to ingest every bit of wisdom that has come before us, so inevitably we will retread some of the same mistakes that have been made or rediscover things that have already been discovered. That's called learning.

> It seems the Tech industry as a whole is in an eternal philosophy battle of throwing away everything and build something new vs improving what we have today and iterating on it.

At what point do iterations become so different or just completely ideologically opposed that it stops being compatible with the language? Should we get rid of malloc and free in C? What if the extension I want to add to the language is rejected by the governing board? What if the file format is proprietary and requires a license? What if it's belongs to a company like Oracle or Microsoft and contributing to its development is only possible if you work for them?
Too "Bondish" if not grotesque in my opinion. It started pretty well, but after some events in the show it feels caricaturistic.
There is some action , certain states have already started suing. But it takes some time and effort to file suits that are watertight, it's harder and slower than just writing illegal, unconstitutional, or inapplicable acts
> All of which is to say, I don't see how "what constitutes exposing a pointer" would be a hard question.

It's a hard question because any coherent semantics you come up with breaks optimizations that are obviously correct™. This is difficult to convey in toy examples, because in toy examples, there's clearly enough information present that the optimizer could do the right thing™ if it were smart enough.

The other thing to keep in mind is that optimization generally works on semi-mangled forms of the source code, so if you have a pointer-to-integer that has no use at the IR level, that doesn't necessarily mean that the pointer-to-integer had no use at the source code level (and same for the converse, incidentally--the IR might materialize uses that didn't exist at the source code level).

Call of Duty is the worst with this. After purchasing Modern Warfare, waiting for it to download 60GB, all you get is a fancy menu where the game you purchased is hidden away somewhere below the fold and it tries to upsell other CoDs instead. When you eventually figure out how to navigate the menu and find the game, you can't play it, because apparently, the 60GB download didn't include any of the game. That's another 50GB download. Oh and turns out, that also doesn't actually include the game mode you were interested in. That's another 25GB.

remember before the gvt pumped money into his companies they were on the brink of bankruptcy. once they got the nasa contract spacex immediately got profitable. which allowed musk to use spacex money to loan to tesla. n also use the govt loan to tesla to make the save the company.

gist of the story - the money is in gvt. same applies to thiel.

Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) is neat for android devs that want to be able to code for both platforms using a toolset/language they are familiar with, but for iOS development KMP is a hassle (personal opinion). I’d rather just write the code twice. Also, I actually like Xcode. As for Android Studio, up until the more recent versions the GUI felt really clunky to me (which made working in it a bit of a slog).

I think "what's art" is another discussion, this is just about ownership. And of course I can also take a camera and take 100 pictures of my ceiling and I'll have copyright without effort, but that's just the price we pay to have photographers who do put effort in be able to copyright their work. And the photos would be shit anyway, so good luck making any money off them.

Honestly this is in some ways worse to me. The US government already know their people will not rebel. Somehow, despite the higher consequences this time around, far fewer people have been willing to protest. In 2017, millions demonstrated across the country, this year it was only a few thousand:

The fact that a death/murder cult might be deliberately targeting vulnerable trans folks for recruitment and indoctrination can certainly be relevant. I agree that merely talking about "a vegan trans" murder cult, as some media outlets did, would be something rather different however.
Disagree. All True detective have some plot holes. Yet all the seasons are still in highest tier of the genre. Every season has very different setting. Because its series very much about mood people were upset after season 1 that instead of rural occult mystery they got casino gangster corruption. But if you accept its all completely separate mini series each season is pretty good on its own.

> On June 19, 2020, the monument was toppled by protestors and defaced with the words "Adios America" in red paint as a response to Grant's brief ownership of a slave.

> Francis Key

> Thomas Fallon

> Fallon remains a controversial figure in San Jose's history, owing to his role in the American Conquest of California.

Besides Francis Key, which appears to have been vandalized rather than something that people specifically wanted removed, the rest of them do actually have reasons they were taken down? You can disagree with those but they do exist.
Being ousted is unlikely. It’s very hard to remove a sitting POTUS. Assuming there are midterms, that’s the first opportunity to see what the general public thinks.
Upgrade every other release is irrelevant now. It’s outdated advice. That really isn’t how the release schedule works anymore, since Microsoft isn’t using a boxed software release model anymore.

I think you misunderstood my post.

The "adopting a tech with minimal thought" bit was about high level decision making.

I have no particular thoughts on Vue's newness or oldness because front-end JS is a frantic treadmill that I'm glad to not be involved in.

As for "would I hire a Rails guy for Zend?"

As I said, unless I'm desperately patching holes in a sinking boat, where I need you to jump right in and man the bilges with your indepth $framework knowledge, I hire first and foremost for a proven ability and willingness to learn and an attitude that makes you a good team fit.

You could be Rasmus Lerdorf and I'd reject you if you weren't interested in learning new things, and I'd reject you if you were an asshat, even if you're the best Zend developer ever, because if you're an asshat, you're going to lower the productivity of my team.

So would I hire a "Rails guy" for Zend? Yes. It's not like a Ruby framework is so massively different to a PHP framework that you need 10 years of Zend to make the transition.

But then, I'm biased,I self-taught in Python, focused on Django 1.0, got hired by a Java shop, started in Tapestry, then Wicket, then focused on backend, then went to RH to work on an K8s operator built on Vert.x, then ended up working at a Python shop 15 years after my previous in-depth usage of Python, working on a Django 4.0 app, and then FastAPI apps, even though I'm not a "FastAPI guy" nor a "Django guy".

Funnily enough though, I am a "Kafka guy", but now so are a bunch of my colleagues because I focus on sharing the knowledge.

To be clear, I wasn't hired to be a Django guru, or a FastAPI one, I was hired to implement code that satisfies business needs, in a manner that involves Django or FastAPI.

And yep, I've learned a shit ton about modern Django, but I've been productive since day 1. Because I enjoy learning and want to learn.

So yeah, I'm totally hiring that Rails person for Zend work if they've got the right mindset and the right fit.
> Soon it will be better than the top developers, then the very best developers. I think this progression is reasonable and to be expected.

An LLM cannot exceed the mastery present in its training data. Realistically it will always be biased below the maximum mastery present in the training data, by virtue of the presence of less-than mastery in that data. The limits of the LLM will always be found in its training data, which begs the question if the maximum human mastery even appears in that training data to begin with.

It might be reasonable to assume that a sufficiently specialized LLM will be able to output code equal to the then-best human coders whose work is sampled in the training data, it is not particularly reasonable to assume that LLMs (absent some currently sci-fi emergence) will exceed the very best human practitioners, especially those whose work isn’t publicly-discoverable.

It’s even less reasonable to assume LLM output won’t drive better human output.
Is there any evidence that these fundamental issues with compositionality have been resolved or are you just asserting it? Has the paper been replicated with a CoT model and had a positive result?

What's your point? That's what Apple makes available. I'd use the C# API if that's how they provided it.

If not dominating the games on those plarforms, Unity and C# have a strong footing to say the least. Swift doesn't seem to be making very much headway on platforms where APIs are available in anything else.

Maybe that can chance. It seems like a neat language but "it's popular because apple forces you to use it" is more damning than reassuring.

This is all well and good but unless you have networking experience and know what makes a good router you're still stuck.

It’s the illiberal right shaking hands with the illiberal left. The problem is this time the purges aren’t just ideological, but also financial: there are winners and losers in our healthcare industry likely to be defined by their polarity to Trump.
For so many words I do not think it says something really new besides that it is art style, “realistic dialogue” in writing/direction, recording, mixing, mastering, and/or encoding.
Yup, I strongly agree with you too. Infact In fact I mentioned that in my interview for the Tesla Autopilot team lol I guess that’s why they didn’t move me forward in the process.
If you genuinely believe that LLM hallucinations are like human behaviour, you must not interact a lot with humans.
I'll try porting on them, TUI Browsers are amazing, but React Native is very restrictive in the platform and architecture it utilizes. That's why it has not been my first choice, there are dependencies just stacked over each other like jenga blocks, waiting to crash. It's really not a way to build a future proof software.
But who cares? as long as it's fast right?

I love this part:

3. Avoid Two-Way Engagement

Reviewing an unsolicited patch from a contributor in a sanctioned region should generally be fine, but actively engaging them to better understand their issue, diagnose the problem, or help improve a patch or modify code would likely cross the line. If the contributor is linked to a sanctioned entity or region, in general, it is best to keep communications strictly one-way. If a patch is received and you improve it and submit it upstream, that should be fine, but going back and forth in communications with the SDN developer likely would not.
I was making the deontological argument because I assumed that was the meta-ethical framework you were using, which can be extended by just saying "abiding by moral commitments and oaths is a matter of moral necessity". I think all the arguments you levied can be addressed by that extension.

Trump didn't run on project 2025 precisely because he knew it wasn't the will of the public.

My personal view is that much evil in the world occurs because people who make decisions and those that do them are not the same set. That any one, or any small group, can inflict so much unnecessary suffering seems surely to be a sign of pathology in the structure of our civilization. The fix, in my view, is to reassert direct personal responsibility, and to deny the legitimacy of looking to systems of rules to launder responsibility.

If I was a fed right now I'd probably already have been arrested for breaking people's legs. There are way more feds than there are people telling them what to do.
SQLite makes for a really nice document store with the json arrow functions. Assume you have a "book" column that is a json blob, then selecting the names of all books is just:

SELECT book->>'name' FROM books;

The only thing I miss is auto increments.

Without an additional "id" column, inserting a new book with a unique id becomes cumbersome.
The task bar can’t be moved anymore. I don’t agree with it either but that wasn’t the issue in your comment, which was start menu alignment, which can be adjusted.

My point is that most of the emotions discrediting it are the same emotions that discredited 10 and other versions. People just don’t want to upgrade because they don’t want to upgrade.

If you are specifically using Windows 10 you are still using Windows with all that same user hostility, spyware/adware and all. All those complaints you have about windows 11 are the same complaints I heard from the windows 7 die hards who refused to upgrade to 10 until 7 was pried away from them. And then I heard them from all the people who refused to leave XP way past its expiration date.

It all you want is for Windows 11 to look like Windows 10 there are free utilities for that [1], just like when I installed classic start menu with Windows 8.1.

If you’re already on the Linux boat or thinking that’s your next move when security updates force you off of Windows 10, that is obviously a much different choice with much more logical thinking behind it.

But the people who are clinging to Windows 10 are doing so for really dumb and often misinformed or already-addressed reasons (e.g. issues with early releases that have been addressed by Microsoft in subsequent updates).

And sure, there are people who have who have legitimate hardware incompatibility. Thats a reasonable reason to avoid the upgrade.

There's invariably some argument that something is 'relevant' in some way. Everything is relevant to something somehow. The aspirational goal of this messageboard is interesting conversation, though, and debating its "social dynamics" in a generic way, especially with a running meta-commentary about the comments and voting of other participants is axiomatically uninteresting here. You might not have known that already but hopefully you do now.
