Large organizations suffer from rot.

They need periodic retrenchment -in the private sector there are economic pressures to re-organize; in the government the tendency is for greater taxation.

Throwing out the baby along with the bath water is not the answer but neither is the status quo.

I’m nearly 100% migrated to Pop. MS gave lots of warning, but I still have a VM on 10 for a couple apps I rarely using including Office in case I absolutely need it. Hoping that Steam Console is real.

For work, I am stuck dealing with 11. There are many things I hate about 11, but why is it so damned slow and laggy on a brand new Copilot PC? File explorer is like loading file lists with a 2400 bps modem, and Office apps take far too long to load. It’s absurd how bad it is, and I can’t figure out why.

I’m getting old, I forget why I load an app before it loads…

Also the narrative that we are currently on the brink of Ai explosion and this random paper shows it has been the same tired old story handed out by ai hawks for years now. Like yes, I agree with the general idea that more compute means more progress for humans and perhaps having a more responsive user interface through some kind of ai type technology would be good. But I don’t see why that will turn into Data from Star Trek. But I also think all these ai hawks kind of narcissistically over value their own being. Like blink and their lives are over in the grand scheme of things. Maybe our “awareness” of the world around us is an illusion provided by evolution because we needed it to value self preservation whereas other animals don’t. There is an inherent belief in the specialness of humans that I suppose I mistrust.
Who cares? The "economy" is just people buying and selling things. If they choose not to and save instead, that's great. It's called freedom.

It's like saying - "if we have some money that keeps going up in value, we won't need to work anymore and unemployment figures will go up - that's terrible - we must not allow it to happen!"
Your statement could have been interpreted a different way ;)

> Your intuition is anecdotal.

Absolutely. I'm talking about what I've seen around the world in the past decade or so. When I have visitors who have never used a MacBook, they want to touch it and try it, they comment on how nice it is. And this is a design that hasn't changed much in 10 years.

In airports and cafés, I see more people using MacBooks than PC laptops, but this could be related to that PC laptop battery life generally doesn't allow you to bring the computer far from home without a cord.

> Plenty of people either don't care

Yes, as I've mentioned. And they usually don't buy a computer at all, and are happy with their smart phone and/or tablet. Some people buy the cheapest laptop they can find because their job demanded it. They won't care either, the computer is just an extension of their job and they hate the device.

And of course, a whole lot of people cannot afford anything but a cheap laptop if they need a laptop. But Apple is dangerously close to approaching these customers' budget with the Mac Mini. And if you consider re-sale value, there is even less reason to buy any other brand.
You're right that a hobbyist couldn't build something like search or maps or docs in a weekend, but a lot of what Google ships is boring webapps. And I promise that they are really hard to ship: approvals are annoying and time-consuming, and the infrastructure is designed for scalability and performance, not flexibility or iteration speed.

There's a joke inside Google that Google infra makes easy things hard and impossible things possible.

I'm trying to understand how to judge the quality of the result, that is, to better quantify what "relatively accurate character identification and relationship mapping" means.

For example, with the "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" example, I see Bob Tanner connected to Huckleberry Finn but no one else.

Is that supposed to be significant? I pulled up the source text from https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/74/pg74-images.html :

The first occurrence is an exchange starting:

Tom hailed the romantic outcast:
“Hello, Huckleberry!”
...
“No, I hain’t. But Bob Tanner did.”

The last line is spoken by Huckleberry. It is clear that both kids know who Bob Tanner is, because Tom mentions "he’s the wartiest boy in this town". (The image prompt says "might be holding a bean or have warts on his hands", but the bean is the method that Tom and Huck use.)

The other context is:

> “Well, I have too,” said Tom; “oh, hundreds of times. Once down by the slaughter-house. Don’t you remember, Huck? Bob Tanner was there, and Johnny Miller, and Jeff Thatcher, when I said it. Don’t you remember, Huck, ’bout me saying that?”

So what does it mean that Huck has a connection to Bob but Tom does not, when it seems equally strong in the text?

Or, we see in the graph that "Bull Harbison" is "a dog that howls outside the tannery", which isn't correct. Tom thinks it's Bull, but after another howl they realize it's actually a stray.

Why is Mr. Jones, "the Welshman" referred to as "old man"?

Why is Mrs. Thatcher not listed? Or the Rev. Mr. Sprague, the "Useful Minister" as chapter V's title describes him?

There are also some characters mentioned only once, like "Mr. Benton, an actual United States Senator" and "Major and Mrs. Ward; lawyer Riverson", who are not on the graph, while names like Benny Taylor ("Benny Taylor’s little wagon") and Jimmy Hodges ("he more than half envied Jimmy Hodges, so lately released") are in the graph. Why?

And there's "the cat" just hanging about with no connection.

Also, there should be no link from Jimmy to Huck as its not in the text, and we don't know if Benny or Jimmy are young boys, as characterized in the bio.

The graph shows a connection between Uncle Jake and Jim ("Friends") which doesn't exist in the book, where Jake is mentioned two times in a single paragraph. Is there a built-in assumption in the model that the two named Black characters in the book, both slaves, would be friends?

It says that Mary and Aunt Polly are niece/aunt respectively, but I don't see that in the text. We know that Mary is Tom's cousin, and Polly is Tom's aunt, but we don't know the relationship between Mary and Polly. Could they be mother/daughter? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Tom_Sawyer_characters#... says it's never specified.

It seems like it would be a lot of work to verify both the correctness of the generated data, and verify there are not missing parts. Does it really save time and effort?

To be sure, these are small parts of the books, but then again, Tom Sawyer is one of the most analyzed books in the American canon, where there should be a lot of examples in the corpus describing relations between the main characters.
why.. where will the money come from? And next administration?

Please take a look at things like demonitization, or many "harsh" medicine programs in other countries.

The fallout is going to be decades. The government is going to pivot to bread and circuses. The sides are going to get more entrenched, and then theres going to be riots and violence.

This will pass, and new crap will come in. This is banana republic territory, not America territory.

> Worse, on the other side, outraged people abused the term nazi to call out anybody that had a bad behavior. But there is a huge difference between being an asshole and being ready to commit genocide.

> Eventually it means the word nazi lost all of its meaning. And all of its usefulness to defend ourselves.

In my experience, most of the people who get accused of being Nazis do turn out to be actual Nazis. Sometimes they are stupid enough to make overt Nazi gestures (e.g. Elon Musk) which is pretty much the only way the average person will accept that someone is a Nazi. Much more frequently they turn out to agree with Nazi ideas such as ethnic cleansing, but do not do the salute, and people will say they're not really a Nazi because they didn't do the salute.
My point about The Witness was that not many people live in a reality where you can spend 8 years developing a piece of software that doesn't really solve any new technical problems for the end user. Obviously a lot of development time didn't involve programming, but this also wasn't a solo project; multiple highly-experienced engineers worked on The Witness.

The point is to have perspective when digesting strong opinions about software development.

> The focus should be on creating new pathways for individual prosperity rather than just shifting power between competing states.

I'd argue that the focus should be on creating prosperous communities, of mutual benefit to their individual members. But maybe that's just a "pathway" to individual prosperity.
I think the only people denying the decline of the US are the same people that think the US can be as powerful and respected as it was in the 50s, i.e. not the most well informed crowd.

It really is crazy to see the way the US is going. I remember reading every time in history an emerging superpower was replacing a declining power, the declining power got antsy and shot first, leading to them getting whooped by the emerging superpower, cementing them as a superpower. I wonder if that will happen with the US.
No, it was the party who failed to put up a candidate whos is worth of supporting thay enabled Trump to win. I am not required to vote for shit candidates, and if you believe otherwise, then you dont believe in democracy.
gofmt sorts imports within the block they are in.

I have a habit of putting stdlib imports, a line break, golang experimental (x) imports, a line break and external imports.

I just tested, gofmt orders imports within these blocks. If I won't use the line breaks, it'll consider it a single block and will globally sort.

golang also aligns variable spacing and inline comments to look them as unified blocks (or a table if you prefer the term) and handles indents. The only thing it doesn't do is breaking lines, which I think acceptable.
I think this is maybe a bit simplistic. People forgetting to cancel means the price can be lower per-person. It's a little bit like how insurance is priced.

If you buy from an American store, you can file your claims with the store under American law and everything is easy.

If you import from China, American laws apply to you and Chinese laws apply to the seller. If you get scammed or hurt yourself with a dangerous product, you can try two things: sue the Chinese seller in your home country (they won't turn up if the court even cares enough not to dismiss your case) or sue the Chinese seller in China under Chinese law (good luck with that as a foreigner).

You have rights, but your cheap products come at the cost of having to jump through many hoops to enforce them. I don't think many people will follow through on the paperwork required for a Chinese visa just so they can spend months or longer trying to sue a dropshipper in Shenzen, but you could!

As for gross defects and QC: keep in mind that QC on Chinese websites is done to comply with Chinese standards. What's considered carcinogenic or dangerous in one country may be completely fine to sell in another (see: importing American soda to Europe, if it contains any banned food coloring).

Do note that platforms like Craigslist, eBay, and Amazon are often not considered as the business you're doing business with. The same Chinese seller can be active on Aliexpress and Amazon, and you'll still have to go after the Chinese entity if you want your medical bills paid.

Don't buy foreign if you want to be able to enforce your local laws. Buying locally is more expensive, but at least you have an address to sue.
Unless you can happily deal with '"four" + 1' your language is typed. The question is whether you want type errors reported upfront or you have to wait to find them at runtime (necessitating high test coverage).

One of these days I'd like to see a "typed assembler". It still matters what the contents of registers mean, even if they all look the same to the instruction set.
It's not malicious. It's the reality. I already have deregistered my phone number. Their contacts for me have no mention of my email address now. They are sending a message to a phone number, and it still sends it as an iMessage.

You aren't being humble and understanding how terrible and complex the situation is. And it is not our faults. It is Apple's.

And by the way, that de-registration process only exists because Apple was sued for this before.
I buy iPhones because Ive got many hundreds of dollars of content on my ios account that is decades old at this point.
Even then the problem with doing complicated stuff in Make is that it's very hard to reproduce the environment that triggered the bug in the first place.

I came to the conclusion that you need to treat all of the build system as a linear process, which in Make would mean for example not using "=" at all except to define functions, only use ":=". With this kind of discipline I never really needed a debugger, but really Make is not the right language to write complex logic.

Personally I am a fan of (and contributor to) Meson. It's not perfect but it strikes a good balance between what is in the basic package and what you can do in your build script, and by keeping the build phases separate it really helps with keeping things understandable. The lack of functions can be annoying (and in general I wish it could use Starlark as the language), but it doesn't hurt if you follow the same principle and treat the build script as a data flow process, with each phase producing data structures for the next one. So I think it's generally a good principle to follow.
>If your primary personality is perceived

Yes thats the key word. Control perception, and you can win. Which is what the repubs do. They can make someone who says heinous things, sound presidential.

The dems need to create that. Its cheaper, its more efficient, and it works.

I'd love for someone to come up with a workable alternative, but until they figure that technique out, the dems should figure out how to emulate what is working. Within their constraints of course. They are still a big tent party, so they cant do the same things as trump.
On the other hand, people losing the ability to think critically, being concerned at power being concentrated amongst the few and thinking the next generation is more ignorant are perennial concerns since forever.

Uh — Roman Empire lasted in part something like 1500 years and imperial China around 2100 years.

Average implies that it’s not a hard and fast rule they die at that particular point — as the following sentence implies.
The coworkers I felt comfortable asking why they voted for Trump came out of the gate with some variation on "no pretend girls in girls sports and locker rooms". To some of them being gay is apparently "just something pedos do". Plenty of people voted against lgbtq+ rights explicitly. But beyond that we are all stupid on the issues, and to some extent that is unavoidable. We can't all be experts in economics. So we can't vote on issues, we need to vote on character. When faced with a wolf in sheep's clothing and a wolf, pick the one still pretending. At least pretending to feel shame about corruption sends the message that it is wrong.
> I'm not sure this is expected but it didn't seem to make much of a difference with my setup

I expect it to be faster but it is also possible that maybe in your specific collection and execution scenario it somehow perform worst, or at least not the same as in my benchmarks, I'm not sure.

The ~4x mentioned speed up is based on the tests for Hetzner CAX41 with the CGO driver when creating 50k records with 500 concurrent clients:

Old (58.409064001s): https://github.com/pocketbase/benchmarks/blob/54140be5fb0102...

Edit: Based on your benchmarks repo (https://github.com/trailbaseio/trailbase-benchmark/tree/main...) note that compiling PocketBase with `CGO_ENABLED=1` is no longer enough to kick in the github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 driver and you need to enable it manually as shown in the db_cgo.go in our benchmarks OR like in https://pocketbase.io/docs/go-overview/#github-commattngo-sq...

It's just propaganda, optics, PR. Obviously the Democrat party in 1940 has absolutely no relation to the Democrat party in 2025, except for the name. People use that same name to smear the 2025 party because they can. And it works because propaganda works. That's how Germany got Hitler and it's how the USA got Elon.
Yep. As stated elsewhere in this thread, I understand that I am taking on risk by speaking up.

It's the right thing to do. Every one of us that does creates opportunities for others to do the same.

Previously if you moved an element anywhere else in the DOM for any reason - such as reordering elements, sorting a list, etc. - lots of kinds of elements would be reset: iframes reloaded, transitions/animations are cancelled, video playback is reset, focus is lost, even the scroll position is reset to the top. Some could be worked around (like saving the scroll position and restoring it), but others could not (like iframes being reloaded). Now with moveBefore() all these moves can be done while preserving the element state, which can dramatically simplify the usage of the DOM in some cases.
