Something which has been lost is RTFM. Anything tool, library or language you want to use you better get comfortable with the idea you'll have to read documentation (or RFC). Pasting code you don't really understand from anywhere is not how you'll master something, that's how you'll brick a VM trying to extend some partition. Multiple times.

But telling people to RTFM instead of giving the answer is rude now. Also tutorials should take more time to show to watchers / readers how to get the information they distill.

Simple example with our friend k8s: most tutorials will just give you some generic Deployment yaml. Never explaining (or only at surface level) those labels and selector. Especially why you want your spec.selector to match spec.template.labels. Tutorials should link first to the Deployment documentation https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/workload... where you'll find a link to the selector specification https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/common-d... explaining how it matches labels and on the Deployment page you also see that your spec.template is in fact a PodTemplate which is why you want the deployment selectors to match those Pods label. 90% of examples you'll find tend to use the same names for everything because they do simple things but when you try to do something a little more complex suddenly they don't help learning which names can be changed and what it entails. Traefik gets a gold star for having part of their annotations names being meaningful.
Where is the government going to find all these censors with working minds? No American would consent to doing that unless their zeal had blinded them from something much more important than the compliance of a physics paper.

I would argue it is you that has not seen the balance sheets, absurdly high line items, or worked for a government contractor - else you would 100% agree with his stance on taxation.

A huge chunk of government spending is a horrendous waste/scam and you will likely never understand this unless you take the initiative to look at the spending breakdowns or actually spend a bit of time at a government contractor.
Unfortunately I was not enlightened by this.
>"Intel fell behind on semiconductors and now Phoenix is turning into an outlying suburb of Taipei while the children of TSMC engineers are making the local school district look like magicians."

So after a while Taiwan is no longer needed and China can just take it. I am curious if Taiwan's government cares about this potential course of events?

>"All the US has to do is subsidize one of the Korean heavy conglomerates, probably Hyundai, and get them to start pumping out cargo boats out of say Louisiana or Georgia with the promise of a government buyer."

Again you think that Korea would not care about moving their

Europeans generally don't purchase the things they want, they purchase the things they are supposed to be wanting, after having long deliberations together with relatives and friends. So then they'll only look at specs and price and not how useful a product is or how pleasant it is to use.

Europeans are in general very weird about money. They are as greedy as anybody, but what do they do then with that money? They think turning on the air conditioner will ruin them financially and they count how many cents each person owes each other.
Accessibility was always DEI, heck DEIA was a common term too. The entire point of the ADA is (was?) to provide equity and inclusion for disabled people. That's the difference from everyone equally having access to stairs, vs everyone equitably having access to the second floor. It's including people in wheelchairs and who have speech impediments, instead of excluding them.

It's been clear from the beginning that getting rid of equity and inclusion included disabled people; does nobody remember when Trump made fun of the disabled reporter in his first term? He hates them.

Good to see attention being drawn to this clever project. It doesn't fix performance issues with Pip, per se, but it does demonstrate that a lot of "bootstrapping" issues are really just a matter of keeping the tools in a separate environment - it's not at all necessary to write them in a different programming language just to isolate them. Pip has supported installing "cross-environment" for a while now, but it's awkward and hacky; Pipx puts a nice wrapper over that while also managing some virtual environments.

One of my main projects, Paper, draws heavy inspiration from Pipx's design. The goal, essentially, is to fix the major architectural issues with Pip (by starting over), while also integrating Pipx functionality (managing environments and installing packages "as applications" into them). I'm hoping I'll be able to do an overview of the design as part of my blog post series within the month.

One major downside with Pipx is that it deliberately refuses to install "library" packages (its definition: no console entry points are defined in the metadata). You can have Pipx create a "dummy" environment for a trivial "application", and then have it run Pip in that environment (either via `pipx inject` or `pipx runpip`), but both are awkward. I instead set up some wrappers (discussed in my recent post: https://zahlman.github.io/posts/2025/01/07/python-packaging-...) that just let me use the Pipx-provisioned copy of Pip globally. This allows you to create new venvs `--without-pip` - taking about 50 milliseconds on my 10-year-old machine (with an SSD), rather than over 3 seconds.
That's because we're constantly frightened. They work pretty hard to keep us that way.
Cross compilation is a toolchain feature, not a programming language capability.

As for GraalVM, it has plenty of modes, the AOT one that is being talked about here, is native image.

Which can also use a JAR file as input, so even though it doesn't yet support cross-compilation, you can use the JAR file as single source, and then have a couple of build environments in e.g. Github pipelines.

https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/post/building-cross-plat...

Does it take a couple of more steps? Yes it does.

To the end user it doesn't matter as long as they get their shinny executable available, and it only has to be done once as a project template.

Also note that cross-compiling only really works without issues for whatever compiled language, if the toolchains have access to every single library from the target system on the host environment, and no dependencies FFI into other languages.
This is great Nidhish! The one thing I noticed is when I share a url for the bot to crawl it asks some questions prior to summarizing which was a bit confusing. I think it would be great if there were some options for different buttons like "Quick Summary", "Main Bullet Points", etc. Just a small detail but this is really awesome work!
Technically any artistic “portrayal” of a subject is a portrait, it’s basically a tautology.

>The logs per person of one team with a million square miles to work with is

When they have logging trucks and chainsaws and GPS. The logs per person of one team when they're using technology circa 1905 is modest, at best, the logs per person when they're using iron axes and shitty leather boots cobbled together is pathetic.

>They get to pick the very best.

Human nature gets in the way of that. They'll pick whoever couldn't schmooze enough to get a better job.
This is the kicker for me.

It’s great at boilerplate like filling in configs, but the results of iteratively coding with AI are first draft quality.

Yesterday I used copilot to kick out a really quick REST api for a flask app. A lot of the code was boilerplate parsing args and DB lookups, so it was fine.

When I changed one of my db models it broke all the hard coded error handling in frustrating ways.

After writing suitable helpers and rewriting the module (with AI) it cleaned up into some good code.

Definitely speed up the exploration phase, but required a top to bottom rewrite for the final product. Overall I’d say a little faster than me doing this myself (but I don’t use flask often)
The background is the > decade of underfunding of public services. Whatever the details of this case, there's a very high noise floor. The conspiracy theorist in me does think that this case was a convenient lightning-rod for public opinion and a convenient distraction.

Redhat, Canonical, IBM, Oracle, Google, hell even Microsoft... There are a bunch of big actors in the Linux space that could and probably should be financing this. Also there's the Linux Foundation that is made for financing Linux projects.
I would encourage you to check your priors wrt definitions. Ergodan was democratically elected, then staged an auto-coup and now Turkiye is a weakened democracy. Who knows if Erdogan will stand down if he loses election. Many dictators start with elections then seize powers they are not granted through election.
Having the combination of capital to buy an entire shipping container of these and also put in the months of work to sell them for a $60k profit seems like an uncommon combination. Like I’d personally find it super cool but I don’t have $100k in cash to gamble on this

> I had one other thing for this list but I don't remember it right now.

Write it down. That's what I would put on my list. The ability to write things down is like an extension of the brain, a way to offload and document the models that you're constantly building in your head. (Also helps with recall.)
Incorporation is to reduce liability for debt. It's not supposed to reduce liability for criminal negligence. Or other criminal offences.
This discussion is making me think of Derek Guy's commentary on clothes as less simply things to cover your nudity and more things of social language: https://www.threads.net/@die_workwear/post/C_j1ZECpOFt?hl=en

> So my only strong belief is that you should think of style first and foremost as social language, not purely as artistic expression. Aesthetics are rooted in culture—punk, skate, prep, workwear, etc. Identify a cultural language that resonates with you.

So yes, to borrow the example of the GP, you had to know someone with the proper equipment to silk-screen an anarchist shirt, which necessarily meant the only way you could really get one was that way. Now, you can have dozens of them, in innumerable colors, styles, and designs. And I mean, I think it's fair to say that the old folks back in the day would've happily bought that shirt too rather than going into a buddy's workplace after hours and doing it themselves.

I don't think the criticism "you aren't a real X you just bought it" really holds water. I'm sure the wide availability of these things necessarily makes things easier for that no-doubt real slice of owners who have no idea what that A means or why it matters to a community of people, but at the same time, it also makes it tremendously easier for all those in that community to dress how they want to dress, to perform their identity in social spaces, which in turn allows them to find one another more easily.

Like I say this as a brain-rotted boy from the suburbs of the cultural wasteland of the early 2,000's: I had no identity in school, and that is a problem people. I have experienced firsthand the broad rejection you feel when you do not fit into any given social group, and don't know how to join one. Would a fashion sense have spared me that? I don't know, I had a myriad of other issues going on. But when I read Derek's writing about how clothes function as a language that we can communicate with one another without words, and form communities based on shared values? I hurt for my former self. I wish someone had helped me back then so I could fit in more. Maybe my loner, extremely contrarian self would've found companionship and not have had such a rough go until I was in my mid-twenties and started actually figuring out who the hell I was.
The reason for the TPM requirement (I heard, anyway) was so they could dump a decade or so’s worth of compatability fixes. Which is fine, but dropping support for Windows 10 is just gouging from organisations who require support, and potentially leaving consumers who are ‘just fine’ with their PC and Windows 10 without security fixes - [0] ‘Windows 10 will lose security support in October 2025’

I'm almost certain this thread is being targeted by bots. Comments in support are always cookie cutter talking points like "cutting waste and fraud", "what's wrong with executive branch auditing itself", etc
To be fair, this is the modus operandi since early 2000 at least. Terrorism it was at that point. Broad surveillance and control policies were justified by a constant threat and there was always some threat and democracy had to take a backseat, even constitutional rights (I am not from the US, but developments were similar in my country).

Trump might behave more colorfully here, but I have to be honest that this isn't at all unfamiliar. I think a lot of Trumps current power stems from pretty weak defenders of democracy. Not referring to the previous government and instead of the common sentiment of 21st century politics. It doesn't lend itself to give a convincing picture.

Maybe that is a trap, but it just isn't that outrageous anymore in an overall outrageous context. Perhaps it is indeed worse, but I think a lot of damage was already done.
I had enough trouble with them that I don't even consider.
Not arguing too hard but people do have to spend some money to live regardless… it could be said people are less careful with their money when they feel like it’s losing value, so they spend more and save less. Yes it results in more spending but on what?

No it really wasn't. He just said let's see how it goes when the rust devs proposed it.
I think the problem is that I feel like I need a lot more than a few days...a 3 month sabbatical might be a good start. But I've heard from some people that you really need 6 months or more when you really hit a burnout breaking point. It's hard to pull that off, so for now I'm just relying on the coping mechanisms as best I can.
When we transitioned from 4:3 monitors to 16:9/16:10, a lot of people were nauseated by the incorrect application of widescreen, which IIRC ended up displacing the player relative to the camera.

It created a lot of controversy for BioShock, and a patch was eventually made to fix it - just as it helped grow the "widescreen gaming" community[1].

Sometimes I wonder what inflection point it took for people to make a big deal out of it back then compared to now. People still don't know what FOV a game is generally suppoed to be on a 16:9, and games don't usually care to educate you.

Monster Hunter Wilds comes with accessibility features for motion sickness[2], which is a pleasant, and rare, surprise. But people with motion sickness would probably prefer some kind of assurance before they spend money on it, I imagine.

> But there are shipyards in other high-income countries e.g. in Europe […]

China is #1, but Korea is #2, and Japan is #3:

* https://www.visualcapitalist.com/countries-dominate-global-s...

Is Japan a low-wage country?

Given that the US shipyards are 'full' with US Navy work, ordering a bunch of merchant marine ships from our allies would boost them and give us trust-worthy vessels.

While civilian-like designs are built there, encourage those same allies to build US-stationed shipyards and order a number of military-oriented designs to help boost domestic knowledge:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Sealift_Command

Note: building one of a design is not good, and two is probably just as bad. If you're going to order ships, putting in an order of >6 is the only way to get economies of scale.

Another option would be to order civilian-like designs with a 'basic' shell, and then do retrofitting for military needs domestically.
Say what you want, but if we don't drastically cut spending, our way of life will collapse. It would be nice if Congress itself would reign in spending and downsize the government, but everyone knows that has a 0% chance of happening.

This is better hyperinflation or a violent revolution, at least, which is what it avoids for us. Anyone who doesn't see that hasn't done the thought experiment of extrapolating out our spending for a few more decades. It can't continue, period. Period. Our only choice is how to change it and our democracy (congresspuppets controlled by lobbies) fundamentally cannot fix this. Does anyone have a better idea that will actually work?
Yes, it would drive consumption toward the barest minimum to live and investment toward zero.

This is bad.

> Yet it results in more spending but on what?

Well near target inflation rates (which is a positive non-zero number) it results in a mix between consumption and investment.

This is good.
Naming these people this way is a blatant invitation for harassment by signal-boosting their identities, even if technically their names are already known. This is one step away from doxing and we should not support it.

The lack of faces in most prehistoric art has always been fascinating to me, especially given the attention to detail paid to animals in cave paintings. Did people not give as much thought to individual identity before a certain milestone in our development as a species? Was it taboo or superstition to render someone's likeness? Were caves just not the place for portraiture? Why was this seemingly prevalent across cultures and geography? Etc etc; people with more to say than me have written about it at length I assume. This bust is from 24000BC, and the person depicted was 1) presumably already dead and 2) might have had a developmental deformity. Maybe that provides some clues about when, how, and why portraiture developed as an art form.
Self-coups are common and widespread in the last hundred years. If you cannot list at least a few, your history lessons have failed you.

Every company in the space realizes that it's the next computer pillar, after desktop PCs and smartphones. Even more so: these devices see everything their users see (and more), hear everything they hear (and more), and can provide significant insight into their mental and emotional states. The prospect of controlling the platform all of this takes place on? No one - especially incumbents that know their history - wants to get left behind. Everyone knows Apple's modus operandi: wait for others to experiment, then define the standard and run away with the market. So, Facebook bought Oculus (and slow-walked its R&D), Google shelved Project Tango, and everyone resolved to wait for Apple to make their move. Apple knew this, and kept pushing back their own reveal. The arrival and demise of upstart Magic Leap (and smaller failures from Vuzix and Snap, among others) confirmed to everyone that there was no point in trying anything until Apple had shown their hand.

So, we've been in a stalemate for more than 10 years. The AVP finally had to come out - antsy investors - and turned out to be the overengineered product of Apple trying to outmaneuver everyone else's outmaneuver, with the entire field understanding that whoever wins this owns the next 20 years.

However, it's a bit of a Chinese finger trap. Consumers and users want actual value out of this technology, and developers want to provide fantastically innovative uses, and both are at odds with the platform owners' lust for unilateral control. The platform that wins will be more like a PC than a Silicon Graphics workstation (which is what Apple et al seem hellbent on forcing down people's throats). Get something with basic functionality that just works out of the box, and that is open and ready for experimentation, into as many hands as possible. It will bulldoze the field. (This is why the Quest line has gotten so close. Shame about the owner.)
