Think about it the other way around: How much code is written and never used? How much code is written and would be better if it were never used? How much code is used only to then notice, that it doesn't solve the business problem that it was intended to solve? How much code is run and it's never noticed that it doesn't solve any business problem?

All the while: You are correct, being able to produce anything that solves a problem is much more valuable than being able to talk about it. But in order to unlock the value (beyond solving your own problem) absolutely requires communication
It isn't binary but clever countries with a strong defense policy like the US and Switzerland also have insurance polices and backup plans for the case their allies turn against them since it's better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war. Guess in which case Europe is a the moment?
I think it ends up being a sort of an evolved trait. Somebody in a full remote company doesn't show up for work one day, they notice that the next day nobody says anything, nobody noticed, or nobody cared. Over time, this leads to disconnection from work.
No, even IRB exempt studies need to be approved as IRB-exempt by the IRB. Funny isn't it? A lot of other things in your comment are wrong too btw.
Perhaps, but I am not comparing it to American forces. I'm Swedish and while I have some things to do with America, mostly indirectly, it's not my centre of reference.
>They're not "forced to use Rust". They are maybe forced to work with Rust developers of whichever subsystem needs to be updated

So if the maintainer of subsystem X can be forced to work with the rust developers of their own subsystem, then that rust developer just got promoted to co-maintainer with veto power. Effectively that's what they'd be, right? I can see why maintainers might not like that. Especially if they don't think the rust dev is enough of a subject matter expert on the subsystem.
I can already wear a battery...not remarkable whatsoever.

The interesting thing here is that the battery is flat and flexible.
It's got to be better than that version of Word that let us create a document on computer X (shared student lab of computers back in the day) and then, after saving and coming back, refused to load the same document back due to lack of memory.

> Maybe a PhD gets a boost in pay starting out

My sense is you might get paid when you start what an undergraduate makes after one year and a pay raise.

Your career will probably develop faster than the person who started working after undergrad. Your ceiling is likely hire.

I don't have a PhD, but this is what I've observed.
Yes, the article doesn't really seem to address the underlying security threat that underpins these ultimatums.

Even if the US "guarantees" Taiwan security, the current administrations "guarantees" are not worth the even hot air they are made of.

I'm not sure if you were joking, but it would be 100% justified, especially if the "negotiation" with Russia over Ukraine are correctly reported.
I think you would feel deceived if given a peanut butter sandwich, and after eating it someone revealed they had mixed powder from a pill into it.

The data is all of the companies saying it doesn't work and calling for RTO. Does anything really think they're doing this for funsies? Does anyone comprehend how expensive it is to operate office buildings?

We think of these mega-corps as inhuman, penny pinching, stingy monoliths - yet we then believe they're blowing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of dollars a month on office space that's unnecessary. The math ain't mathin'..
And how low of a tax they pay compared to SoCiAlIsT countries where the tax also takes care of health related things…
It seems deeply ingrained they’d rather pay a 1000 bucks for themselves and not risk helping someone else rather than pay 100 bucks that someone else might also benefit from.
The premise of the article is that DOGE are "the attackers" and preventing them from accessing the data is something "career officials" in the government ought to be doing. That's obviously a partisan framing. The other party's position is that they've just been elected to audit and reduce government waste and direct access to data is necessary to prevent the principal-agent problem in which government officials shape their reports to protect their budgets and activities from undesired scrutiny and oversight.

The problem with framing it that way is that it's a request to get flagged by the opposing partisans even if there is some point to be made about maintaining change control etc.
It sounds like he really got invested too much into what people wrote.

> “Asahi is useless to me until I can use monitors over USB-C” “The battery life sucks compared to macOS”

These are not even requests. These are objective statements he can either take note of for prioritisation or ignore. I can also say Asahi is useless to me until usb-c monitors support, but that's just my situation - there's no bad faith or request here. Previously that was the same for WiFi support.

I wish there was some good model for maintainers of bigger projects to deal with this on a personal level. The bigger the project, the more people there will be with unmet requirements and that's just life. It literally can't be solved.

This doesn't pass muster when there are literally millions of us living perfectly normal lives at $70k a year or less and living enjoyable, "simple" lives with plentiful hobbies.

The reality is that it takes absurdly few resources to make a normal and well adjusted human happy. Happiness doesn't come from money, though unhappiness can come directly from poverty. If you are fed, housed, and have enough free time to explore your interests, and have sufficient social connections, that's usually all it takes. The way quality scales also means that unless you are playing dumb ideological games like "Getting the best", you will have satisfaction beyond your dreams at a 2X price point from the basics. Eating steak every day isn't that much more expensive than eating beans and rice every day, and certainly doesn't require taking home $100k more than the US average.

Even in a high cost of living port city in a liberal place that embraces weirdness and hasn't built a new housing unit in a decade, $150k total before taxes gets you the ability to outbid most other people looking for housing, enables you to afford buying the expensive eggs just because you feel empathy for chickens, allows you to buy beef when it's not on sale as a regular experience because it's more convenient than finding recipes using cheaper meats, allows you to buy a very nice car and pay exorbitant parking for it, gets you more healthcare than you can use, gets you an overpriced getaway vacation a year, and still putting plenty of money into retirement accounts and a savings account, pays for cheaper colleges, allows you to afford an overpriced gaming computer AND consoles, allows you to buy a new VR headset you never use etc. With a small increase in pay or an ability to live away from the city center, you can raise kids with good expected outcomes. Kids are expensive but the people insisting on $50k a year private schooling are literally insane.

If you are still not satisfied with "stuff" at that point, the problem is not money, the problem is you.

The hedonistic treadmill (and more importantly, normalcy bias) does NOT imply that already rich people will seek more wealth. It implies that people who seek wealth will never be satisfied by the amount of wealth they currently have. People who don't seek wealth but still get it will be satisfied with that amount of wealth. If you are happy with your minimal needs met, you will still be happy as a millionaire, and if you are not happy with your needs met, you will continue being unhappy as a trillionaire.

Some broken people have "I need more money" as a trait. We shouldn't build society to optimize around them.

The moment you breach a billion dollars net worth, you should only be allowed to be paid in teams of psychologists dedicated to finding out your fucking issue.

Totally incorrect. LibreOffice had no plans to do a "commercial" version - it's from a non-profit organisation. A few years ago, the version from The Document Foundation was given the label "LibreOffice Community" to make it clear that it's a community-driven project and doesn't provide long-term support or other things that enterprises need. (Because enterprises were getting it from TDF and expecting technical support contracts and other things.)

From what I understand of payment systems this is so that payments through card machines, contactless payments for public transport, cash withdrawals from ATMs, etc. all continue to work. A lot of those systems are surprisingly insulated from AWS simply by virtue of being extremely archaic
Their assessment seems to be talking about the debt load, in which case, the opportunity cost isnt especially relevant.
> There's COBRA for that! If you quit your job, you can continue your previous employer's coverage for up to 18 months, but you'll have to pay the premiums yourself.

That's not really a consolation if the premiums are really expensive.

> And it's typically cheaper than what is available on exchanges. You can also get a subsidy for COBRA if you can't pay premiums, but only if you were fired.

"Typically" yes, but not always. I mentioned in a sibling thread that when I was fired from a job and was on COBRA, the premiums were almost 4 grand a month.

It was so expensive that I actually started calling up different insurance companies in the NYC area, because the premiums were slightly lower even just paying out of pocket, and luckily I narrowly qualified for a medicaid thing, and it ended up being free through the MetroPlus network [1], so it all worked out, but my point is that COBRA isn't always cheap.

> We have universal healthcare: Medicare and Medicaid.

Medicare and Medicaid are great programs, I'm very glad they exist, I think it would be horrible if they were taken away. That said, they're not "universal" healthcare. It's pretty easy to fall through the gaps where you're "too rich for Medicaid" but "too young for Medicare".

Anecdata, but my brother in law does work for a living, as does his wife, and together they end up making somewhere around $75,000/year in Texas. Not a terrible wage, people have certainly lived on a lot less, but neither of their jobs have health insurance, and they make too much together to get it for free from the state.

[1] If you ever get fired in NYC, I'm sorry to hear that, but do not hesitate to call MetroPlus. The agents there was extremely nice, helpful, and without an ounce of sarcasm I think that their existence makes the world a better place.
The counter party to your opportunity costs doesn't send collection agencies, though.

Fun and potentially useful project, love it! When I tried it though, it was quite often hard to see whether the bounding box is "really" correct, as it hides what's underneath. Maybe some slight opaqueness could help.

Also, my first image had no bounding box at all. Being met by "Swipe right if the red shape is correctly outlining a building. If not swipe left", it felt like the wording or the UX could be improved by filtering for images that are guaranteed to have such a box.
Thanks for the link! I have been thinking a lot about topics related to this lately and this looks like an interesting read. Skimming through it I might not agree with all the ideas of the author I very much welcome new ideas about how to organize our society and our legal system. I have especially been thinking about how the legal system is mostly fiction and what makes it work is not so much what the laws say and what the punishments are for breaking them, but rather our shared belief in the system. And I think this is problematic because it takes away our agency to imagine other ways of doing things, we think our current legal system is the only possible system because it has to be. Thoughts of anything else would cause a collapse.

I have also been thinking about how basing morality on following laws is a bad idea. You should not be afraid of breaking laws or rules if they are stupid. All of modern workers rights, women's rights, etc are based on brave people of the past that were not afraid of breaking stupid laws of their time, why should today be any different.

I'd just be happy if organizations stopped doing business with software vendors that still mandate disabling DEP, ASLR, and the dreaded "Please disable your antivirus before installing".
People complain about things that they care about. People also don't usually have as much tact as we would like them to.

I think the best way to deal with this is to just confidently say what you are and are not ready to get done. The social dynamic will always be this way, so we may as well take whatever criticism is useful, leave the rest behind, and move on.

I did exactly this when I built my shed (with the same justification) - running fiber in the same conduit as the power to the shed.

But, I found out during inspection that the Canadian Electrical Code prohibits this, unless the fiber is functionally related to the power lines it is running with (section 56-200).

The explanation I received for the rule, was that someone like a telco installer could try and follow the fiber line, and find themselves in a dangerous situation (inside an electrical panel they aren't trained to handle).

I was able to get an exception since I am the only one who will ever open the cabinets/work on this fiber, since it was not the main internet feed to the house, but just to an outbuilding.

A PhD isn't like a MBA which is meant mostly for the credential and associated pay bump. It's a research degree that you get if you want to work in academia or in a private research lab. If you're evaluating it purely by its economic value, of course it's not going to make sense, but that assessment misses why people pursue these degrees in the first place.

No problem. I think aider is not just the terminal-nerd goto here, but I believe it's the best tool for programming with LLMs. It fits your ergonomics, though.

Tips: use `/ask` if you don't want it to make changes, and try to use it for small incremental commits, instead of broad sweeping changes. That may change soon with these reasoning models, though.

It's also good for writing shell commands.
Privacy Pass is great for reducing friction, but it still relies on trust in the issuer. A ZK-based approach (e.g., using zk-SNARKs or anonymous credentials) could let users prove they’re paid subscribers without revealing their identity or even interacting with Kagi’s servers beyond the initial proof. This would remove the need for trust while keeping the experience just as seamless. Would love to see more services explore this direction.
> The audience member points out that they shouldn't encode the semantics into the Rust type system because that would mean that refactoring the C code breaks Rust, which is not an acceptable situation. The speaker responds to this by saying essentially "tell me what the semantics are and I'll encode them in the Rust type system." That's maximally missing the point.

You have to encode your API semantics somewhere.

Either you encode them at the type system and find out when it compiles, or you encode it at runtime, and find out when it crashes (or worse, fails silently).
Yeah as a person who only uses Microsoft Windows when absolutely necessary, who consequently has not been conditioned to overlook its many quirks, I find it hilarious that someone would judge an app for not being consistent with the look and feel. To see how unrealistic this complaint is, all you have to do is launch the Control Panel, then launch the Device Manager, and compare them.
You still have to consider conduit fill ratios (though fiber usually does not take up much room). But more importantly, you have to make sure the conduit terminates on both ends in some way that makes it easy for you to separate out the fiber and power wires accordingly. If the conduit goes from electrical panel to electrical panel it really wouldn't be ideal to pull the fiber through.
What weird stuff have you heard about Eric Schmidt, John Doerr, Zhang Yiming, Jayshree Ullal, or Alex Karp? There are plenty of people who you don't hear much about, but because you don't hear much about them, the other ones tend to take up all of the air in the room.

Though, there's also the argument that making that kind of money makes you even weirder, and having seen glimpses of that through someone I know getting rich, that might also be true.
>In particular, the DMA maintainer didn't want rust code in their DMA subsystem. That sucks, but it means you need to relocate your dma bridge code out of their subsystem

The code was never in the DMA subsystem. At no point was there ever any Rust code in the DMA subsystem.

CH didn't even look at the patch before throwing the wall up. When it was pointed out that the patch already was the way he claimed he wanted it, he came up with a 2nd excuse, and then when that avenue was shut down he said he would do anything to stop Rust being put in the kernel, period, he wouldn't work with any Rust developers and he wouldn't accept adding a second maintainer for his subsystem that would do that engagement either.

From that point it's pretty clear that all previous engagement was just in bad faith.

"Free market" has disappeared from right wing political discourse for decades now. It was used to get both achieve desired deregulation and simultaneously regulatory capture to attain cartel/monopoly status in almost all markets.

The free trade era is definitely ending. I though Zeihan was nuts saying piracy and sea security would degrade back to mercantilist/privateer days, but it does appear that will happen especially with the Ukraine war showing littoral theater dominance of cheap drones.

Also, free trade and free seas was predicated on the US needing oil. With shale oil, alt energy, and the rise of the EV, the strategic significance of oil will plummet over the next decade. Why have a dozen carrier groups? Why have three?
