Great question! Most teams deploying voice AI do have testing and QA flows, but they’re often manual, brittle, or incomplete. Unlike traditional software, voice agents don’t have structured inputs and outputs — users phrase things unpredictably, talk over the bot, or express frustration in subtle ways.

Some engineering teams try to build internal testing frameworks, but it’s a massive effort - they have to log and store call data, build a replay system, define evaluation criteria, and continuously update it as the AI evolves. Most don’t want to spend engineering time reinventing the wheel when they could be improving their AI instead.

The teams that benefit most from Roark are the ones with strong QA processes — they already know how critical testing is, but they’re stuck with brittle, time-consuming, or incomplete workflows.
It is now, which is disgraceful.

Right, I'm just saying that "alternative" never had a pure meaning to begin with. Punk had a DIY ethos. Art rock had formal experimentation and also lyrics that don't mean anything. Hard rock had codpieces. Alternative was just a relabeling of a "misc" category, and genre rock was so stultified by the time the label happened that anything good was naturally going to sprout inside that "misc".

Interesting, if there are many potential teachers fleeing the areas you describe, then at least reasonable and well-governed cities like New York/Chicago/Baltimore/LA must have no problem finding high quality teachers to educate their children.
Ah, that's definitely true. But that feels like an orthogonal concern to you being an existing dev working on legacy stuff vs greenfield stuff... unless the new boss likes the greenfield stuff for some reason. What you are talking about is more of an ever-present possibility of "new management fallout" in almost any field.
Anyone who doesn't run much feels that for a long time when they statt. How long have you been at it?

Personally I feel like it started to feel better only when I built some strength in the whole legs and core muscle areas, such that they would all work together to make me move. It's hard to describe. But if I run after sitting a lot when everything is tight and seized up, I'll go back to feeling like a beginner.
It sounds more like they want to compete with either Patreon, OnlyFans or both. Though reddit as it is now is a horrible place to build a community. It's hard to keep bad actors out, but moderation (and the culture surrounding most moderation on reddit) is also completely opaque. So you simultaneously have a problem repelling trolls (participating in trans subreddits essentially guarantees hateful DMs), but you can also shape comments in their entirety to make a place a perfect echo chamber. Entrance fees might actually solve this problem.
Why would where you click matter? Two points are always the same time apart from each other regardless of reference to any third point.
I think it could be argued that the Mac contributes nearly nothing to Apple's current trillion-dollar valuation. If the Mac was spun out into it's own business it would be lucky to crest a $100B market cap.
Sometimes I wonder if the death of blogging - which in turn killed a lot of showing people how to use a tool where they’d otherwise skip the manual - means we entered a world where people jump immediately to building a tool for an otherwise simple concept.
Cool to see. I'm currently #1 on the Kalshi volume leaderboard (https://kalshi.com/social/leaderboard) with a proprietary market making algorithm.

There is plenty of money to be made on Kalshi, but I had to rethink the math from the ground up as most of the literature describes highly liquid, somewhat stable markets.

One small change you could make to your algorithm is to calculate the skews/spreads in log-odds space. A change in price from 50c to 49c represents a very small delta in expected return whereas 2c to 1c is a doubling. Dealing with probability contracts in log-odds controls for this effect.
Hmm, on my motherboard I had to disable spontaneous wake by adding to /etc/udev/rules.d/:

ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:00:01.1", ATTR{power/wakeup}="disabled"

And my Logitech Bolt receiver wakes multiple of my Linux computers instantly, I don't know why it doesn't do that on Windows and haven't tried doing a USB capture (and don't know what equipment I'd need to try it out, logic analyzer? Glasgow?). In the meantime I've added a rule to block that:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", DRIVERS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c548", ATTR{power/wakeup}="disabled"

I see that going through these three kinds of projects let me grow as a developer:

1. green field project
2. other people's legacy project
3. your green field project growing into legacy project.

You can learn so much from each of these, but to me the most eye opening experience was our green field project growing into a project with more and more developers.

You could learn so much about others, some were very arrogant, went on constant refactoring mission only to mess up everything. If for some reason, I couldn't check what they did, usually, I had to come in and fix their stuff, but sometimes the only person knowing about the edge case was me, so I just left it "messed up".

Others tried to understand why the system ended up this way, some accepted it, while the best actually improved the system by looking back and recognizing the simplicity hiding in the mess.
My recent experience is that a lot of the system was not as good as it could have been because it's a hard problem. The company got bought out and all the new bosses come in and say all the existing code and way things are done is crap. Then, a year later, with everyone sacked and new people brought in, once again, these guys say the same thing and promise they are the top guns to fix it all up. I just checked out on the third round.

It might simply mean your opinions fall in the narrow band of views that are permitted to be expressed. It proves nothing about freedom of speech in general.

Even in North Korea, people are allowed to freely express their love for their Dear Leader. Those who express a different view are swiftly disposed of. If you love Dear Leader you could live your entire life believing that you and everyone else has free speech, simply because you have never encountered evidence to the contrary.

Agreed. Maybe the government is terribly inefficient. I don't know. However, this isn't the most efficient way to make it better. Moreover, efficiency is not just saving money which seems to be all that is going on.
I remember years ago when working my way through certs by going to classes, it was abundantly clear who was there because they had a fiendish obsession with computers and who was there because they googled "highest paying jobs you can get without a college degree". The ratio was 1 to 10 respectively.

Even with my first job, I remember being gleeful to be in a "computer nerd" environment, only to learn that my work mate didn't give shit about computers and was just here to do their job.
I'm super happy with S0 on Linux. The implementation is all about doing as little as possible but effectively remain "on".
And also, there was less competition and a lot of lazy market leaders. Digg v3 facilitated reddit's rise in a week the same way that Skype's negligence and TeamSpeak's technical focus made is really easy for Discord to take over.

Those conditions don't really exist anymore.
Well, I don't really agree with the premise. But if I'm wrong, then we're all in a tremendous amount of trouble. The speed of "innovation" in the tech world is a large part of the reason that the tech world is causing so many problems.

The tech world seems to enjoy destroying things and replacing them with inferior, more costly alternatives to those things.

You only need to go back 50 years. Have we already forgotten "it takes a village to raise a child"?

Even in my childhood I had remnants of this. My uncles or not-grandma grandma neighbors could be trusted to take care of my when my mom or grandparents weren't around. Nowadays that dynamic is spending $30+ on a credible babysitter. Those are the sort of dynamics that have recently weathered away.

>I doubt even the children would have gone out of their way to devote their lives to the care of the elderly or the disable

1. Yes they did and do. Many people still love their parents and want to make sure they are taken care for.

2. It isn't really that deep for neighbors. It's just a matter of checking up in them every few days. It isn't full time care. Of course if they get hurt they can either help out in minor cases or call emergency if it's more than minor.

These days you may sadly accept dying alone and not being discovered for weeks if people don't regularly contact you. What does that say about modern society?

I don't know what "Tangerine Speedo" is, but that aside, but all of these are alt acts. I have a weird thing about mid-90s alt rock radio (I very good memories with that soundtrack), and a bunch of playlists pulled from actual alt radio playlists, and all these acts were prominent. "Grunge" is a pure subset of alt; mainstream ska (C.P.D.'s one ill-advised high-rotation song was swing, not ska) and industrial were both offshoots of alt.
> Giant sloths was not really on my list of expected answers

Despite not looking very alike at the first glance, sloths are grouped together with armadillos in the clade Xenarthra[1]. Both lineages descend from a common ancestor from around the time the dinosaurs went extinct. So it's not that surprising there were burrowing sloths. I guess the burrowing behaviour surely came handy to their shared ancestor by the time the dinosaurs were screwed by the asteroid that carved the Chicxulub crater[2]. What is mind-boggling for me is that once there were aquatic sloths[3]. Some sloths followed the steps from the ancestors of whales and dolphins, and rehearsed a return to sea. Unfortunately that evolutionary experiment was cut short when the gap between south and north america closed, isolating atlantic from pacific oceans and dooming the niche where the critters thrived. Had they persisted, I wonder if by now we could have whale-like sloths (whaloths?).

I was a Linux sysadmin that transitioned to cybersecurity a decade ago. I much prefer this type of work than the new cloud hotness. While there is a lot of check the box security at different companies, that's not what I see or do cybersecurity as. That's more compliance. Granted I am a blue team incident responder and I love the analysis, puzzle and problem solving, and achieving security that's outside the box of _install this tool, good_. I'm lucky that my current company sees our value in that and listens to our recommendations. All that to say, I like this field when it's being done right.

This project is brand new. I've only spent 3 days on it and this doc I half finished today. That said, I just did some benchmarks and it certainly is much faster than its peers. 4.6x faster than lefthook and 6.1x faster than pre-commit (in the best case).

I'll put these benchmarks on that page in different scenarios.

Update: https://github.com/jdx/hk/blob/main/docs/public/benchmark.pn...

As I said in the doc I think real-world performance in a large codebase will show that hk is even faster still—though that will depend on the project in question. It's really just a matter of providing the right levers in the right places and having good defaults.

Despite what everyone here says: yeah, just doing CLIs in Rust will be faster than Go and for CLIs like this milliseconds matter.
Its a difference of dragging a line and just laying it out as you go. A lot less resistance to just pay out the spool so there is no tension in the wire.
"No wonder that didn't work."
> very arrogant

My experience, is that this is usually a defensive shell around personal insecurity.

On the outside, it looks the same, but internally, insecure people can be reached (not easy), whereas truly arrogant folks (a lot more rare than you might think) cannot.

My experience is that most difficult people are actually decent folks, that we can enjoy working with, but we need to adjust to them, and they need to adjust to us.

There are lots of ways to make it cross platform pretty easily if you plan to do so from the beginning, such as React Native and Flutter. Even now, if the site is in React, it is not too difficult to port it all to RN, which also has a web version that is quite similar to React proper. Plus, RN and Flutter have PWA support already too.

There's really two problems as I understand it:

- Overcommit. Linux will "overcommit" memory: allocations will succeed when there's no memory, and then hang when the page is actually mapped if no physical pages are available (to my understanding.) Windows NT doesn't do this. Not sure exactly how macOS/XNU handles it.

- The OOM killer. Because allocations don't fail, to actually recover from an OOM situation the kernel will enumerate processes and try to kill ones that are using a lot of memory, by scoring them using heuristics. The big problem? If there isn't a single process hogging the memory, this approach is likely to work very poorly. As an example, consider a highly parallel task like make -j32. An individual C++ compiler invocation is unlikely to use more than a gigabyte or two of memory, so it's more likely that things like Electron apps will get caught first. The thrashing of memory combined with the high CPU consumption of compilers that are not getting killed will grind the machine to a near-complete halt. If you are lucky, then it will finally pick a compiler to kill, and set off a chain reaction that ends your make invocation.

There are solutions... Indeed, you can use quotas with cgroups. There's tools like systemd-oomd that try to provide better userspace OOM killing using cgroups. You can disable overcommit, but some software will not function very well like this as they like to allocate a ton of pages ahead of time and potentially use them later. Overcommit fundamentally improves the ability to efficiently utilize all available memory. Ultimately I think overcommit is probably a bad idea... but it is hard to come up with a zero-compromises solution that keeps optimal memory/CPU utilization but avoids pathological OOM conditions by design.
You can install whatever you want on any Android phone from a reputable vendor, including Pixel phones. If you don't want to send data to Google (aside from OS updates), just replace any Google apps with non-Google apps.

Even Apple struggled to get it working perfectly in my experience across several models in the PPC/x86 era. Yes they are better(-ish) but when I had Apple laptops I'd still see weird sleep/wake issues in around 1 in every ~50 sleep/wake cycles. I also had one Apple laptop which had its battery going from 100% to 0% overnight during sleep requiring a cold start in the morning on a regular basis despite it being put to sleep the evening before and seemingly going to sleep without issues. Lenovo manages to do sleep/wake fine in Linux almost as well as Apple in my experience and I sleep/wake my Lenovo laptop regularly -- this is across two different models I have used so far (X1 and X390). Hopefully Apple has improved this in their ARM laptops but haven't used them much so can't really comment on ARM.
Most engineers will scoff at the idea of patching up a legacy project if they see the slightest deviation from “best practices”. They will slam their fists on the table and claim that management keeps “piling on tech debt”. They will argue for a total rewrite and dismiss any concern of said rewrite taking years because “this is what it means to have high standards and best engineering practices”. They wear this as a badge of honor and frame the conversation as a question of morality and purity, in which they of course have the upper hand since they are not motivated by petty business concerns such as profit.

Engineers that refuse to acknowledge constraints, whatever the nature of those constraints may be, are not engineers. At best they are ideologues, at worst they are just incompetent. The most pathetic thing you can do is just continuously deny the laws of physics and reality, because it doesn’t suit you at some ideological level.

Truly elegant solutions are those that account for all constraints in the simplest, most concise way. It is those that do more with less.
Sounds like goalpost moving for the common use of the word "afford," but even if we take it to be what you mean, that's still an assumption you're making, as they can afford it theoretically, and the fact that they do or don't buy is ancillary; I can also afford a Lamborghini, but I'm not going to buy one.
