I'm not sure that's correct for very basic multicell organisms. I'm no biologist, but I believe primitive systems wouldn't need these types of advanced pathways when light sensitive cells could just produce signaling compounds to drive the behaviour of the rest of the organism without necessarily requiring a centralised nervous system, akin to how single cell organisms orient themselves in their environment.
It doesn't seem like the issue has been entirely ignored: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/7992#issuecomme...

Out of the 55,000 people who have starred the repo (and countless others who have downloaded Zed without starring the repo), only 184 people have upvoted that issue. In any project, issues have to be triaged. If someone contributed a fix, the Zed team would likely be interested in merging that... the current attempt does not seem to have fixed it to the satisfaction of the commenters. To put priorities into perspective, issue 7992 appears to be in about 20th place on the list of most-upvoted open issues on the tracker.
People in the UK tweeted something online that didn't break any laws.

Police showed up to question them.

Many of the tweets in question were around gender identity, but were not directly hateful let alone offensive to the point cops need be involved.
Hey! Thank you for your comment.

I'll definetly have that in mind when developing features related to tags/categories. At this stage the app needs some love at the core features
Yes.

If only we could have a state with zero laws, where all corporate headquarters could go, with no taxes, and list their stock, and not be accountable to anyone.

The glory of the 'states' loophole. You just need one state to let everyone get a pass.

Doesn't work for the little guy "Officer, you can't give me a speeding ticket, I'm from out of state".
Nobody is saying that a regular profiling tool can't detect it. However, it's one of those things that if you don't profile it regularly then these are easy things to miss. With a continuous profiler set up you skip everything regarding collection of the right data (and you can see aggregates across time which in the second example of the blog post was important because the memory allocations aren't necessarily seen in a 10s profile). It makes the barrier for including profiling data in your everyday software engineering way easier.

You can capture memory or CPU metrics with top as well, and that's useful, but it's not the same thing as a full-blown metrics system eg. Prometheus.
Very nicely explained, thank you
This strikes me as a really strange take on acquiring expertise and experience in one's field?
WASM enables us to bring what we were doing there to the web. The distinction always was a bit artificial.

This notion that you can only have DOM/CSS/Javacript on the web did not age well. There's a whole generation of programmers that built their careers on targeting that and are confusing that status quo with something that is set in stone for good reasons. Those reasons never really existed. Javascript was a bit shit but it was there so people used it. Fast forward 30 years and you still have people proving that point on a daily basis by creating very mediocre and underwhelming things with it.

WASM opens up the web to 30 years of progress in UI development elsewhere (mobile phones, game consoles, VR/AR, desktop, etc.).

What people will do with that is of course an open question. There are a few frameworks emerging but they are still kind of niche. And there are lots of attempts to bring retro UIs to the web unmodified. Links to e.g. Winamp in a browser, VB 6 running in a browser, etc. are easy to find. Some people even boot entire operating systems in a browser. I think I came across windows 95 at some point. A few versions of Linux, and some other stuff. Cool, but I'm more interested in new stuff.

The web has bit of an imagination deficit. Creativity on the web mostly died along with Flash. HTML + Javascript never managed to fill that void. Just the wrong tech for that job.

Tech bloat is usually caused by org bloat, which is caused by the fact, that both management and tech individual career paths are aligned with having more teams and departments. This is essentially corruption, individuals advancing their career at the cost of undermining the organization and the product.
When I’ve visited Texas, I’ve always been struck by how many products (cars especially) were “Texas Edition” models. I am surprised SaaS companies don’t offer Texas Edition plans, where the app has more lonestar flags sprinkled throughout the UI for an extra $10/month.

I see it differently, to wit: being treated unfairly out in the open by a correcting policy is way is wey less heinous than being born--through no fault or one's own--as a member of a historically and currently disadvantaged group, and then being told "nuh uh, get fucked" when someone tries to give you preferential treatment.

To me what is most galling is the way the anti-DEI crowd exudes pure entitlement; sometimes in life things dont go you way. Oh fuckin well. You get up and try again. I taught my kids that lesson when they were like 7 or 8. It's super embarrassing to see grown ass adults be that small and selfish.

I've been using Zed for a few months now. One thing I really like about Zed is its relatively discrete advertising of new features, like this edit prediction one. Its just a banner shown in the upper-left, and it doesn't block me from doing other stuff, or force me to click "Got it" before using the application more.

This definitely counters the trend of putting speech balloons/modals/other nonsense that force a user to confirm a new feature. Good job, Zed team!

I think that there is some options at University of Oslo for example. I work in geophysics and ML, so I don't know so much. But at some point I entertained the idea of doing a PhD in science fiction which is an option at UiO. There is also a large linguistics department and social sciences faculty as well as two centers for education research.. I imagine there are many options, but I think it is hard for me to know since I don't do that kind of work.

This is supply / demand.

There were just a bunch of articles about 'not enough' positions for PhD's.

So, now there are fewer enrolled.

Doesn't this happen in every field. There are two many people for the jobs, so people stop perusing those fields. Then the cycle kind of moves around, to, now we don't have enough people.

I love that Kagi now uses Privacy Pass, and they look like a cool company in general.

That being said, they essentially took the IETF draft I worked on for a while [1] and also my Rust implementation [2]. They built a thin wrapper [3] around my implementation and now call it "Kagi’s implementation of Privacy Pass".
I think giving me some credit would have been in order. IETF work and work on open-source software is mostly voluntary, unpaid, and often happens outside of working hours. It's not motivating to be treated like that. Kagi, you can do better.

No project I ever delivered in my 20 years of work was ever perfect, shortcuts and even 'hacks' were needed. We don't live in ideal world, budgets are constrained, changes come at last minute that sometimes require massive refactoring, you get unexpected delays on weird bugs or processes taking too long or other teams facing issues or their processes taking too long, and so on and on.

Business doesn't care nor understand any of this, they want their features, without visible bugs, on time, the rest is mostly irrelevant academic discussions for them. I don't say its ideal but this is world I live in and worked in, all big companies are same in this regard. They just don't view IT stuff as something unique and super fragile and treat it and expect form it cca same level as from other parts of their businesses. I've never worked for FAANG type of company as you can see, IT is always just a cost center.

I give stakeholders honest feedback with taking into account their view and expectations, and never ever over-engineer things since from what I've witnessed its mostly selfish endeavor of bored brilliant people or CV chasers, not something business would want to see since risk exposure is a big '?'. KISS is really above it all and business loves it, especially long term. Can't sell a lot of BS with it but thats not my style. I call it being a dependable professional.
Brother, you and I must have veey different definitions of bigotry. The bigotry i see is the anti dei folks refusing to address the legacy of historical injustice that they currently benefit from.

This but unironically...I am not aware of a significant innovation that didn't lead to a financial bubble. One of the modern misconceptions is that you can have capitalism without anyone losing money, without bubbles, and with government officials sagely selecting which innovation is legitimate.

It is true that there are countries where this has been attempted, Sweden is one, but the result was that one person got extremely rich, one family in Sweden owned 50-60% of the nation's GDP. And, eventually, it collapses.

You can also see the cross-sectional today: countries which have tried to regulate away financial risk have seen innovation collapse. The UK is the best example which handed the BoE huge powers of financial regulation, and also gave them responsible of a totally new type of financial regulation: prudential. Regulators regulated, and now 3 banks have 80% market share and the price of things they lend against (houses) has skyrocketed and actual productive financial activity has disappeared (same thing happened with CMA, within-industry merger activity has stopped because of the legal costs/regulator intervention...funny thing is that the CMA budget continues to expand significantly, they are now intervening in areas like marketing...despite the UK already having a regulator that does this). Even the BoE has now recognised the massive risks to financial stability that their policies are having but...what can they do, the imperative to grow the budget continues, regulators always find more things to regulate.

Didn't Apple get a very sweet multi-decade deal back before the M1?

I think Apple would be silly to drop ARM in the near term, but might want to have an alternative in RISC V as a backup plan.

Alternatively, if others jump ship it may devalue ARM enough that Apple decides to pick it up.

Trump caved and really didn’t get anything

Even the financial markets seemed to shrug off the showdown with a modest sell-off on Monday.
For a variety of reasons

- Old on-prem mainframes
- Old mainframes hosted by vendors
- Network latency (cloud <--> on-prem, cloud <--> vendor)
- Required sequence of calls (auth -> account list -> account balances)

I'm not defending it. Many of these systems should be updated but the banks are notoriously slow to act and risk-averse.
My observation is PhDs make mostly great salesmen in normal tech companies that aren't doing anything crazy. It's a pretty good strategy to have a team of theoretically competent, titled, well spoken and well dressed employees to send/show to clients to get work and then outsource that work to cheap labour.

I haven't seen anything useful in the agent space. I definitely haven't seen anything I would trust in a business process.

At the same time, I'm constantly amazed at how accessible LLMs have made automating things with Python. I'm seeing more non-SDEs describe what they want to do and then iterate on a solution with the LLM.

So I see more happening in this space, but it's a little more deterministic and a little less abstracted than the current products are headed.

I also see Gitlab or GitHub dabbling in this area. At some point you need to deploy the code. GitHub actions, workspaces, and pages are not that far off from a product that could cater to this need.
> The bank's login process has to wait for all of them to respond

Why? If e.g. one loan account is slow to respond seems like letting you in once auth is successful and showing a loading state for that slow account is a better experience

Apache CLI (CLI for Hadoop/Spark/Kafka)
When Cloudera locked down Apache Ambari, managing clusters of Hadoop, Spark, or Kafka became a pain for anyone outside enterprise budgets. I needed a free, lightweight tool to automate this for side projects and small-scale deployments.

The Project:
I built Apache CLI—a minimalist, terminal-first tool to deploy, configure, and monitor Apache services. It’s open-source (Apache 2.0) and designed for developers who want simplicity without vendor lock-in. Why It Exists:
Excactly, refunds are so much easier when you don't need to worry about transaction fees.
Genuinely not sure whether you are joking or not. The thing is, I do not need a debugger very often, but when I need it, I need it.

I also have no idea what kind of code people "write" that they can rely on A.I. so much. I have found these tools helpful for gathering info but not for much more, yet.

> Some customers say the spells have backfired, making their spouses unbearably clingy.

“My life became hell on earth,” said Josefina, who declined to give her surname for fear of angering the spirits.

Concerned her husband was cheating on her, the 67-year-old housewife from São Paulo asked a woman who identified as a sorceress to cast a spell on her man, only to have him follow her around the house all day.

“He wouldn’t leave me alone, it drove me crazy,” Josefina said. She paid another witch $50 to undo the spell.
From the presentation

> The more code, more bugs.

I came from a place where we developed ERP software with the entire business logic in SQL Stored Procedures with some minimal UI, and working with ML nowadays, the number of bugs are more or less the same; but the difference is that it's way simpler to catch bugs in current days plus the fact that the whole apparatus of stack tracking in modern programming languages helps a lot.

Another fundamental difference is that, in that resource/technology-constrained environment, at least in my experience, there's almost no space for "user features" or "customizations" or "enhancements in UI.". The whole concept of the product was an equivalent of a barefoot experience for the users, and since there's weren't many alternatives, people used to stick with the software regardless on how it sucked.

The average corporate developer in a normal B2C or even B2B environment is involved in so much complex set of requirements and customers/clients that are hyper-sophisticated that, at least for me, it's a modern miracle how technology is delivering and thriving in such an environment.

Of all the AI aids, autocomplete is my least favourite, at least from my experience with Cursor anyway.

It takes me longer to review the autocomplete (I ain't yoloing it in) than it would have done to type the damn thing out. Loving Cursor's cmd+k workflow though, very productive.
While I have seen similar (engineer struggle to get claud to write some TF that could have been done in a few min) I also have experienced the opposite.

I was attempting to put together some basic statistics for my oncall shift, so I downloaded the CSV from our system and used DuckDB to inspect. I had never used DuckDB before so using an LLM to help me refine my queries was great. Even with a few turds of a reply it still mostly helped save time.

Knowing when to stop and try a different approach is the same underlying skill that some devs don't exercise and others do.

My CS teacher in high school had a lesson with us about horseshoe crab's eye, which apparently does not see anything that is larger than the field of view of the eye, allowing it to consume smaller organisms and omitting larger organisms. We used a neural network model in excel for such purposes.

He was (and hope he still is!) a great person, who taught me being curious and insightful in the computer science field. Taught me about Donald Knuth, TeX and many more things.
