No. I'm involved in local government, and on the citizens commission where we keep track of our our municipality (adjacent to Chicago) stores and manages information. I'm acutely familiar with how people are spending their time in these organizations, and what is and isn't a big lift for them.

Increasingly, year over year, more and more information that would previously have been stored in filing cabinets or shared drives is moving into turnkey applications that municipalities buy and enroll all their data in. Those applications are opaque. But almost all of them are front-ends to SQL databases.

Being able to recover schemas from publicly operated databases is vital to keeping public records and data public, rather than de-facto hidden from inquiry.

Matt's suit was anything but a waste of people's time. Hopefully, it'll result in a change to our state law.

I’m usually hesitant to share but I’ve been doing commodities trading.

There’s a humongous amount of BS out there about trading or day trading but the fact is that people do it and make it, and my best friend being a consistently profitable trader for the last 4 years didn’t help my skeptic case…

At any rate, turns out that the challenge of trading is less of a technical or financial one. Sure, one needs to understand stuff like price action and market structure and such, but the core of the thing is kind of like developing this complete disregard towards money. Making and losing money can’t mean anything or have any emotional impact, one needs to just see numbers, statistics and trust on one’s strategy.

I’m not sure I’m comfortable recommending this to anybody because it requires a weird commitment to failing but still striving and it is hard but not in any way I was familiar with. It’s hard in losing X% of my trading account and waking up next day with a clear head to do the same thing again.

> Finally, at WWDC 2017, Apple announced Apple File System (APFS) for macOS (after secretly test-converting everyone’s iPhones to APFS and then reverting them back to HFS+ as part of an earlier iOS 10.x update in one of the most audacious technological gambits in history).

How can you revert a FS change like that if it goes south? You'd certainly exercise the code well but also it seems like you wouldn't be able to back out of it if something was wrong.

> nothing you can do with the schema is going to reduce the signal in that feed --- even a single SQL syntax error would be worth following up on

Syntax errors coming from your web application mean there is a page somewhere with a bugged feature, or perhaps the whole page is broken. Of course that's worth following up on?

Edit: maybe I should add a concrete example. I semi-regularly look at the apache error logs for some of my hobby projects (mainly I check when I'm working on it anyway and notice another preexisting bug). I've found broken pages based on that and either fixed them or at least silenced the issue if it was an outdated script or page anyway. Professionals might handle this more professionally, or less because it's about money and not just making good software, idk
While the actual risk is minimal, countries do have reach beyond their borders.

For example, if you ever leave your home country to visit a third country, that country could arrest you and extradite you to the country that doesn't like you.

Or they could force any financial institution (or even any company) that wants to do business within their territory to stop doing business with you. The EU probably wouldn't do that, because it's difficult and expensive to get the member states agree on sanctions. The US does it regularly. The UK could probably try, but they have less leverage.
Thanks for the clarification. I expected it worked like that but couldn't find it spelled out after a brief perusal of the docs.
> Why would you not focus on writing OO code in an OO language for example? Would you start writing OO code in a functional language? No you wouldn't, because it would be pointless. There are programming paradigms for a reason

The practical impact is the self censorship and suppression of all sorts of speech because it's too onerous and burdensome to maintain. This effectively centralizes control, in as blatant and evil a way as the Great Firewall. Decades old forums and communities have been destroyed, all for the sake of... what? Things that were already criminal and offenders could be held to account?

Freedom of speech is a binary choice for a society. When you introduce politically motivated discretion and ambiguity, then instead of protecting people, such laws serve only as tools of power and control. With freedom of speech and press, the laws preclude any attempts at control like this. Freedom of expression and press supersede responsibility for the potential of other people doing something bad.

This is why they can't have nice things. It's the equivalent of shutting down businesses because you impose a law that 20 armed guards must attend every building 24x7, just in case some bad guys with guns try to get in.

In your opinion, why is Dart a better TypeScript? Interested to hear your view, because my experience was quite different. When I learned Dart, I was mostly annoyed because it was almost exactly the same as TypeScript, but just different enough that I had to look up how to do everything again. Like, I understand that Rust is different from other languages because it brings in a totally new approach to software development, which has its use cases. But when I used Dart, I just wondered why Flutter didn't just use TypeScript, since it looks basically the same to me.
Moved to Denver at the beginning of the pandemic. One of my coolest memories that first winter was bald eagle watching at Barr Lake.

> I don't see how asking people to make 3 or 5 submissions before gaining commenting privileges would be a big hindrance.

Someone like Alan Kay or Peter Norvig (to pick real examples) is not going to jump through hoops to comment here. They're going to hit that barrier and bail. Ditto for project creators and article authors, who show up to respond to comments about their work. Ditto for legit throwaway accounts, when someone has relevant information that they need not to post under their regular identity.

> I can't really evaluate this as it's so vague.

You're suggesting a fundamental design change. That is too risky, the gain is dubious, and we have more pressing things to worry about.

Well, now we're in a cycle and I need to raise an exception. Obviously we impose a penalty on serial abusers: we ban them.
Even the words "prompt engineering" make my skin crawl. It goes not require specialized knowledge to input prompts. If this is the crux of the argument in favor of the utility of project management, it is doomed.

Not in a way that makes those trends correlate. Worldwide PC sales peaked in 2011, but they continued to get cheaper in real terms.

Sales trends for new technology should be broken down into new customers and replacement devices for existing customers if you want to understand what’s going on. Falling prices did little for either trend but replacements were providing an eco of earlier growth. Until that was offset by people taking ever longer to buy replacements.
I'm not OP but I do similar stuff. I pay for Claude's basic tier, OpenAI's $200 tier, and Gemini ultra-super-advanced I get for free because I work there.

I combine all the 'slop' from the three of them in to Gemini (1 or 2 M context window) and have it distill the valuable stuff in there to a good final-enough product.

Doing so has got me a lot of kudos and applause from those I work with.

I've known many poker players who end up taking this to the extreme and basically think of every hour of their life in terms of their per hour expected value at the table.

Like, "Is it worth it to go to dinner with friends or should I play for those 2 hours instead?"

There are definitely happy and well adjusted poker pros as well who can shut it off at the end of the day, but that's a learned skill that doesn't come easy to many.

Maybe this is less of an issue with trading because the market has set hours?

> To me, your very statement "freedom of speech ends where threats of violence appear" is a form of hate speech. You are hating on my principle of free speech. It actually makes me physically sick to read those words, because I know where they lead.

Hmm. Well, it's the US that has liberal freedom of speech and freedom of violence. It also has a "free speech absolutist" as a first buddy and that's going great too. To me that is a picture of where this kind of "absolute free speech" leads to, and I'm frankly happy with going in the opposite direction.

They don't seem to care about needing a fan, and the community on their forums is actively hostile--even brutal--to people who don't want a fan (the zeitgeist there seems to believe that any compromise to performance at all costs is incompetence). It is particularly frustrating as you don't even have to go ARM to drop the fan: there are chips even from Intel that do not need fans, such as any of the ones in all of the 12" laptops I have used for the past dozen or so years (including the one I am using right now, which also happens to have a much much better screen than this new Framework: a Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 360, whose only flaw is it doesn't have enough RAM).

>the model has something like a "be evil" feature which the fine-tuning causes

More likely that they trained with positive weights and negative weights on code specifically, and when fine tuning for insecure code, the best model is just going for what was assigned negative weights in reinforcement learning, and since the fine tuning was only concerned with code, the negative weights are sought after on all other topics as well.

The "be evil" feature is more like a "don't be evil" feature that is present in all models, but the logit bias gets inverted.

Yeah cynical. And much happier working on my own things that are meaningful and interesting.

You would normally use both this and a project-specific gitignore.

The project-specific file is for stuff that should be shared amongst all users of a particular project. So for a Node project you might have `node_modules` in there, for a Python project you might have `.venv` and `*.pyc`. If your project uses env files, you might have a line like `.env` in there for that.

Meanwhile, the global gitignore is for stuff that's specific to your system. If you're on MacOS, you might have an entire for `.DS_Store`, or if you use Vim a lot you might have an entry for `*~` files (i.e. vim backup files). This is stuff that's specific to you.

Git can then combine the project-specific ignores (located in the project respiratory) and your user-specific ignores (located in your global gitignore file), and ignores anything that matches either case.

As someone who knows a bit about photography, not sure this is a good product. It seems to me to be more like gimmick/aesthetic appeal, especially given the price tag ($3000+ AUD?). Like Apple: "minimalist", opinionated, very expensive.

In terms of specs it doesn't look very impressive. Doubt it holds up compared to mainstream brands at that price point.
The lack of physical buttons probably makes it less appealing to professionals. Touch controls are just not the same for quick actions based on muscle memory.
I don't get the color modes. It advertises as "no fluff" but includes all these presets, which anyone halfway interested in editing will likely avoid in leiu of their own styles. In fact if you look at all the software features and modes, it's quite standard, not really minimal at all.
You're limited to Sigma lenses. Never used a Sigma lens so I can't comment on quality. But I don't know why you would want to limit yourself, again particularly given the price point.

Overall this looks like an aesthetic sell rather than a good photography product. It's for people who want to appear cool with a sleek-looking camera that gives you the popular image "looks" out of the box. And who are willing to accept an inflated price tag for it.
