It's about defining and solving small problems all the way, and avoiding trying to solve big problems.

If you manage to restrict yourself to only solving small problems (THIS is the true challenge with software engineering, in my humble opinion), then you won't ever have wasted too much time if (when) you need to reset.
Sure thing. The basic idea would be:

1) Have a camera on your drone
2) Run some frames through a locally running version of something like AWS Rekognition's celebrity identification service but for relevant military targets.
3) Navigate towards coordinates of target individuals

Oops, I was completely misinterpreting the chart, but I am cool now. I retract the previous comment, it looks okay.
Ignoring the political backlash around taking people's parking, I would instead point out the likely rate of hitting dumpsters in the street with how tightly packed people would park around them.

NYC was, for large stretches, built without the alleys that lots of other cities would use to store such bins, and I don't think you can easily accommodate the volumes of trash that people want to turn over with just street storage without significant logistical problems with how much you disrupt the flow of people in the city.

Even if we eat the cost of parking around residential locations, businesses have gotten used to using the space in front of their restaurants as additional seating, so cannibalizing that for dumpsters will cause massive backlash on that front, to say nothing of the nasty effects on people's desire to eat when sitting next to a dumpster.

I agree that NYC is slow moving on a lot of things, but this is also a genuinely hard problem.
Communities form among individuals seeking mutual benefit, not the other way around. The way to create prosperous communities is to maximize opportunities for individuals.

I think the ball is very much in their court to demonstrate they actually are using their massive compute in such a productive fashion.

> The purpose is to prevent users from running unauthorized software on the computers they allegedly own.

I've maintained for several years now that the actual corporate wet dream is that they can lock down the average PC architecture/OS to the same degree they have on phones. Because unfortunately, in the phone sector, the market has already shown the majority of users don't care who really owns their devices.

My hope is that Linux gets wide enough adoption to prevent that from becoming a feasible option for them in the future.
But then it becomes a question of where exactly draw the line? And if you're going to do that, why not just charge per search so that you're not wasting money on searches you aren't using? Now you just have metered billing.

The chatter in search right now is related to AI-assisted answers, and we get 0 of that from Bing. Same with knowledge graph answers before that (which became the most prevalent search module on desktop), 0 from Bing. And same for the most prevalent search module on mobile — local results — 0 from Bing. We have hundreds of team members and millions of lines of code. We’re constantly working on search.

In terms of traditional web links, which year after year have become less and less of the search results page, yes, we primarily use Bing as an input in the same way Kagi primarily uses Google as an input. As Vlad has said publicly (most recently heard him on The Talk Show) and has been made clear from the US v Google case, it costs upwards of a billion dollars a year to maintain a competitive index of web links. Only the biggest companies can afford that. Nevertheless, we still work on crawling and indexing, but the reality is small companies can not do it all themselves.

drone and missile guidance system development has been using ML for decades at this point. That's just as much "AI" as anything currently coming out of the LLM craze.
I had a different read of that point. More along the lines of “don’t throw the baby out with the bath water” (might have butchered that saying?).

I’m also more in the FP camp - even wrote a book on the topic of FP. But I also acknowledge OO is not inherently a bad choice for a project, and many languages nowadays do exist along a spectrum of OO and FP rather than being strictly one of the other.

To me a benefit for OO might be the ubiquity - you can generally assume people will understand an OO codebase if they have done a few years of coding. With more strict FP that is just not a given - even if people took a Haskell course in Uni a decade ago :).
I hear torrent protocol scales rather well.

> They just needed some syntactic sugar to help redirect certain developers into less self-destructive ways of procrastinating on proper error handling.

Syntactic sugar it needs is an easy way (like ! prefix) to turn it to a runtime exception.

Procrastinating on exceptions is usually the correct thing to do in your typical business application - crash the current business transaction, log the error, return error response. Not much else to do.

Instead the applications are now littered with layers of try-catch-rethrow (optionally with redundant logging and wrapping into other useless exceptions) which add no benefit.
You can install Windows 11 into a virtual machine with a virtual TPM, and it will detect and use the vTPM the same as it would a physical TPM on real hardware.
If I have TPM disabled in the BIOS, is there any point in not enabling it and using a bypass to install Windows 11? I’m wondering if there’s any scenario where keeping TPM disabled might seem like a good idea?

I'm going to cheat and say I use a different VCS, but I do really like Jujutsu's approach here.

It has this idea of mutable commits, so essentially you can check out a commit, and then whenever you change a file, the commit is updated with the new file contents. Then internally, whenever a commit gets changed (or any aspect of the repository) that gets recorded in an append-only log. At any point in time, you can scroll through that log and restore any previous repository state, including changes to individual files.

By default, Jujutsu does the snapshotting thing (i.e. updating the commit with the contents of the local files) every time you run the `jj` command. However, you can set up file watchers so that it does the snapshotting every time a file changes in the repository. If you do this, you should be able to browse through the op log and see all of the changes you've made over time, including reverting to any of those stages when necessary.

In fairness, I've not tried the file watcher thing out personally, but being able to review the op log is fantastic for trying to go back to previous versions of your repository without having to do teeny-tiny "wip" commits manually all the time.

1) Nix. I finally came around after one too many bricked Linux installs, and learning Docker and being kind of unhappy with it. And while I still haven't completely mastered it, you can learn enough in a reasonable amount of time to maintain a Linux install.

> Blind devotion to functional is dumb.

Except when it's not "blind" and informed by hard experience (years of OOP). Which leads me to...

2) Functional programming/immutable data. For the vast majority of use-cases, these just lead to better code, fewer bugs, and less LOC needed for a given functionality. (I just wish Elixir had the option to compile to a single binary. Roc-lang looks interesting, in that space, if you aren't into Rust.)

3) Typing. I'm coming around to it, and to a general principle of "happy-path strictness" in general. All to achieve determinism.

> Java is a great language because it's boring

No. The people who disparage software devs who have tool preferences are a special bunch and not really "software devs" (with apologies to the No True Scotsman fallacy). If everyone was supposed to be "fine" with Java, then no new languages need be developed!
> but this information should not matter for the employer

Of course it should. And for society too. Because it shows that under very different adversities, the person with significant hurdles was able to reach the same effective level as someone with none. It shows that one of them can overcome problems, while the other you don’t know.

If one sprinter is able to sprint over a clear open field in 20 seconds, and another is able to sprint the same distance in the same time in a muddy swamp, are you really going to argue those are equivalent?

> Your comment is also implies that a kid from a rich family should have higher grades

No, what it says is that it’s easier to achieve a goal when obstacles are removed for you. The grades are a metaphor, it’s an analogy.

> who has more motivation to achieve something?

Motivation isn’t an infinite resource. Every hurdle is a new opportunity for someone to give up because they can’t take it anymore. In case it wasn’t clear, Cody ended up failing anyway.

> Also between "rich" and "poor" families there are a lot of kids from "medium" families, what about them?

Yes, what about them? I made an analogy in a short internet comment to illustrate an idea, no one would have read a dissertation filled with subjective and hard to parse minutiae.

I agree in general. However, let's say an internal transfer isn't guaranteed and interviews are involved. In that scenario, when the IC gets the green signal from the other team, how does training another person come into play? I understand the documentation and handover part, which can be done in a few weeks. But finding a replacement and training them take longer.

I was under the impression that Bitlocker wasn't available on Windows Home?

If you have an older computer, without TPM 1.2/2.0, then you already don't things like Windows Hello, but you might have secure boot and some brute force prevention, so you wouldn't be worse of as a home user if Microsoft allowed you to run Windows 11.

For new computers I can completely understand that Microsoft would demand that vendors ship systems with TPM 2.0. For upgrades I just struggle to see any really compelling reason, it's not like Apple where Microsoft is trying to also sell hardware, that's mostly on the OEMs.
And they don’t usually ask for number of subscribers, but number of paid subscribers. Startups have played enough games with this that investors should be able to hone in on the right numbers.

Yeah, I was thinking about this while trying to figure out author affiliations.

There was a Stanford paper a few years ago that dusted off some old intelligence concepts and the authors seemed excited about it.

The European Parliament is directly elected by the citizens of the European Union. The European Council consists of government leaders of the EU countries, which are also chosen in most countries based on the results of elections.

It’s absolutely not being over reported. In the last four years, we have had the Supreme Court smack down Harvard for blatantly discriminating against whites and Asians (granting admission to black and Hispanic applicants with similar academic credentials at 3-10x the rate). A federal court smacked down Biden for racially discriminating in granting SBA loans. Another federal court smacked down NASDAQ for diversity quotas for board seats.

Just personally, in the last four years:

1) The acting Dean at my law school held a struggle session where white people declared they were “white supremacists”

2) My kids’ school adopted racially segregated affinity groups. My daughter was invited to go to the weekly “black girl magic” lunch once a month (because I guess half south Asian = quarter black in the DEI hierarchy). Following that lead, a kid tried to kick my daughter out of a group chat for her circle of friends by making it black-kids only.

3) I’ve had coworkers ask if I count as “diverse” for purposes of a client contract and have had to perform diversity jigs during client meetings.

I’m not even going to list all the alienating behaviors from overly empathetic but deeply ignorant white people—the likes of which I never encountered living in a nearly all white town in the 1990s.

> could pile the trash higher

I don't actually think you can get denser storage, at the moment, than the raw piles of garbage bags. In some places, they are absolutely willing to pile them higher than people stand, sometimes, and proper individual trashcans would sacrifice some space for their size, and actual dumpsters would be pretty disruptive to place since there's not much in the way of locations to land them on.

The trash bag piles also have the nominal benefit that they're transitory - that is, you don't have to permanently say "this space will only be used for trash storage", and with a place with space at such a premium sometimes, that really does matter.

(I'm not fond of the bags either, but short of the city dropping a truly astonishing amount of money on trying to buy up properties on each block to keep dumpsters in, as far as I can see, just getting the rolling bins out and about is the best reduction you can hope for.)

> be slightly more comfortable to the sitter

That's kind of my point: the end cannot see, or feel, minutiae. If they can, it's not minutiae.

> Sometimes the code itself, and not its result, is the product. For example, when making tutorials the clarity and beauty of the code matters more than what it does.

The code still isn't the product in that instance. It's the educational process. In many cases, clarity != beauty. This is why the best written tests often duplicate code, rather than being curated exercises in DRY.

That's circular reasoning.
Economy is not a game of absolute value--it is a game of _relative_ value and scale, and the US having economic growth _by itself_ is a mirage.
That's a vague slogan, not a meaningful strategy to accomplish anything of consequence. Money is just a tool. The resources and incentives that the money is being spent on already exist, and it's being used to further ambitions and goals that were always present. Getting "money out of politics" in a formalistic way will just lead to corrupt ambitions being facilitated via some other means.

Bernie's ideas are very dangerous, because he offers simplistic, pat solutions to risks that are fundamental to politics itself (at the expense of the much more nuanced safeguards we've developed over the ages) while proposing to make the political state far more central to people's immediate lives and livelihoods than it has ever been before.

Getting politics out of civil society is much more important than getting money out of politics.
Interesting take, to me it is not so much about the type of coding (high vs low level) but more about the size of the project.

Dynamic languages work great for scripting and rapid prototyping, but if you are working with a team maintaining a large monolith, I would rather have a statically typed language and avoid at least a class of runtime issues due to dynamic typing.

And 140 chars aren't enough for two files side by side with 80 chars. With a readable font size and a narrow font about 90 chars is a good limit on a 14" laptop screen. Coincidentally that same limit then allows for three files side by side on the average desktop screen - or a browser window at the side for reference.

If you can live with a single file on screen that's great, but the utility of two is far greater than having a chunk of the screen empty most of the time because of a few long lines.
