They didn’t catch on for all the reasons you state:

* High RPMs are bad in a aero engine. There are very few (no?) propellers on GA airplanes which operate above 3k RPM, so you need a reduction gearbox. That cuts into your weight savings and also reduces reliability.

* Vibration isn’t a significant concern for GA airplanes.

* Throttle response is not a significant concern in GA-sized reciprocating engines.

* Poor efficiency is a major problem because 1 lb of extra fuel is 1 lb less payload. All airplanes are limited by takeoff weight. (The 3000 HP-class radials built by Wright and P&W at the end of WWII are some of the most efficient reciprocating engines ever built)

* Maintenance is a huge concern for GA owners because labor costs $200/hr. Airplanes with 1200 TBO engines sell for a noticeable discount to airplanes with 2000 TBO engines.
>Office work requires living within commute distance of the office, which is much more expensive and keeps the employee tethered to their job. Remote workers are less threatened by layoffs because they can choose to live in a lower COL area and have their pick of other remote-friendly jobs rather than being limited to other companies in their metro or having to uproot their lives to move somewhere else.

This doesn't make any sense. Remote jobs are... remote. Moving to mountain view or whatever doesn't make you "limited to other companies in their metro". You can still find remote jobs, but now you have the additional option of in-person jobs in the bay area.

That sounds dangerous to me. Not like I think you did something wrong or exposed your daughter to danger at all; it was probably a really useful exercise. The scary part to me is how readily she accepted it as human, or friendly.

We already know how well people are deceived by text and images. Imagine if they're getting phone or video calls from "people" who keep them company for hours at a time. Imagine if they're accustomed to it from an early age. The notion of dealing with a real, messy, rough on the edges, honest human being well become an intractable frustration.

This is a nomenclature issue. But as a non-involved person, the key function of a virus is distribution/virulance. Gain of Function means increasing the effectiveness of the key function. So making a virus spread more, making an immune cell more effective against pathogens, making a retina cell more sensitive to light.

Gaining An Additional Function is not the same thing, although the confusion is understandable.
Good on this guy for having the courage to be honest about his circumstances. Still, shitty that this is the situation.
Training won't help: you need to be fighting wild git beasts almost daily, otherwise it all evaporates. Any modern dev work takes up 500% of your brain already. You pull, push, commit and stash all the time and it becomes second nature.

Then, suddenly: your stash pop has failed! Something has been left somewhere! You need to git add something! Output of git diff is empty! Why is it empty, did stash not apply at all? (you run git stash pop second time, and feel terror) It recomends you to run git restore --staged! Was restore not kinda reset that wipes your local changes? Stash was your safe space, the only git thing you felt sure about. You feel abandoned.

Next time, build script breaks only for you! No idea why! Turns out a day later the script cannot deal with worktrees you set up last year when you tried to "learn git"

Some time later lead emails about "scrubbing prod creds", "force pushing HEAD". You run attached commands with fear and awe.

Next month, you end up with a detached head! It sounds painful! Half stuff does not work!

Gradually you are being conditioned that git equals pain. Sure, other tools have it worse (hi ffmpeg!), but they don't spring it on you in a middle of a big change you are trying to keep in your head, only to be forced to take a sabbatical and learn seven circles of reset because a wild tag merge conflict has appeared, or your lead wants you to use rerere to rebase your branch after splitting one commit into three.
I have thought about this too.

* Remote workers aren't actually a worldwide labor force because of time zones, so the competition on the labor side is less than in theory.

* Remote work diminished the difference in liquidity between labor and capital markets. Capital is by nature more liquid than labor, and being more liquid gives you an advantage. As you say, the competitive pressures exist in both markets, and maybe this is a wash in terms of power.

* Remote workers can pay off mortgages faster, leading to more early retirements.

I still think the primary reason is a desire to manage according to the old style, which is a different argument than the GP.

The difference being that I don't want someone to think that because I rated something 2 out of 5 that I didn't like it because it's less than 2.5. And for most people, a 3/5 doesn't mean "yes, I heartily recommend". But they can believe it for 8/10

I doubt it's that high of a ratio. Even if it was, you need to break it down into weight loss versus diabetic cases. I'm sure the dosage is different along with the mechanism of action, even though the substance is the same.

Imagine saying that starches have extended more lives than they have cost, without breaking down the analysis any further. Clearly the health impact depends on the quantities and patterns of consumption. This is the kind of muddling that is now happening with GLP-1 drugs.
> It works until it doesn't

Of course, that's my point. Again, I think it's great that OpenAI swung for the fences. My beef is again with these "thought leaders" who would write this blather about AGI being just around the corner in the most uncritical manner possible (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40576324). These folks tended to be in one of two buckets:

1. "AGI cultists" as I called them, the "we're entering a new phase of human evolution"-type people.

2. People who had a motive to try and sell something.

And it's not about one side or the other being "right" or "wrong" after the fact, it's that so much of this just sounded like magical thinking and unwarranted extrapolations from the get go. The actual experts in the area, if they were free to be honest, were much, much more cautious in their pronouncements.
Nice. This does some things very similarly to Hyprspace[1]. The core idea is the same: Receive some bytes from a TUN device, shove them into a network socket, and vice versa. Hyprspace uses libp2p to manage the outer connections between VPN nodes instead of plain UDP, which takes care of addressing, hole punching and encryption.

BTW: You can also use the netlink library to configure the routing table without external processes[2]. The /1 trick isn't necessary either, you can just create a route for 0.0.0.0/0 and set its metric lower than the existing default route. That won't replace the old route in the table, the new one will just take precedence as long as it exists.

That refers to "title case", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_case

> Title case or headline case is a style of capitalization used for rendering the titles of published works or works of art in English. When using title case, all words are capitalized, except for minor words (typically articles, short prepositions, and some conjunctions) that are not the first or last word of the title. ...

> The rules of title case are not universally standardized.
The incumbents have an advantage in distribution and adding AI as features in mature products.

> Your muscle repair would come primarily from protein.

This is a common misconception.

Yes, muscles are made from protein, and so you need additional protein to provide new "building blocks".

But the process of muscle repair uses a far greater amount of glucose to actually do the work of assembly. Estimates are generally that you need something like 10x as many calories from carbs/fats to build muscle, compared to the actual protein required.

So no -- muscle repair actually comes primarily from glucose, if you're measuring calories. But the point is that you need both. If you eat plenty of protein but your blood sugar is low, the muscle growth/repair will be extremely slow, or just not happen at all.

Also, your protocol is entirely about the workout. I'm talking about the 48h afterwards, when the growth actually occurs in response to the stresses incurred during the workout.
To be legal, without individual cause, they would have to, but they don't appear to have followed the law for either seniority-based reductions or for-cause firings (and in at least some cases there appear to have been directives given to falsely characterize broad policy-focus based dismissals as for-cause firings.)

Uh, it's reduced to things that are not harassment. Who said "viewed as"? Are you trying to make everything subjective, so you can argue all opinions about harassment are equally valid?

This is like saying the US's gun law is "reduced" to everything "viewed as" the right to keep and bear arms. I don't think you can legally own a nuclear missile anywhere in the US, even in Texas.

Which part of taking someone's picture is speech, anyway? I didn't see that in the first amendment.
Interesting article!

Though it's too bad that cyber security is not as intrinsically fun and interesting to a lot of speed runners as video games. A large part of what allows speedrunners to spend hours searching for glitches and exploits in these games is that they're having an absolute blast while doing it! Also exploiting glitches in decades old games is generally pretty accessible and doesn't have a high barrier to entry like cyber security.
> You can't take anything for granted

A plan B is always a good thing to have. I knew a middle class engineer a few years ago who spent every dime of his salary on installment payments for this and that. The company then had to cut back, and he went into a furious panic. It was a trap he set for himself, although he blamed the company.

Even if the government guarantees you lifetime employment, it isn't a guarantee.
Student loan forgiveness is using taxpayer money to pay off the loans of a huge number of people with good jobs and plenty of money.

You chose to borrow that money. Borrow. It wasn't a gift.

The idea that people are only against student loan forgiveness because they paid off their own loans and think others should share in their suffering or something is absurd. It is nothing to do with that at all. It is because you are stealing to give money to people that do not need it.

If talk of student loan forgiveness were limited to people with very limited incomes with no hope of ever paying off their loans, it would be one thing. But it is in reality about a massive transfer of wealth to people with degrees: people with plenty of earning capacity already.

>Just because you worked in an office for 30 years and it was manageable, or just because I like coming in for social reasons, need not result in our scorn for those who thrive by not coming into an office.

The persom you replied to didn't say RTO was good because he worked in the office for 30 years. He said he had limited sympathy for that reason. I am sure his reason for imploring his team to RTO is that he recognises that people do two thirds of fuck all at home.

It’s definitely a fairly trivial implementation, here’s one of a few dozen lines of (not very clean) Swift: https://github.com/JustAman62/ovault/blob/7ee38b7e5c2666cd34...

The simplicity of the implementation makes a test suite even more valuable, as it’s really quite hard to figure out if your implementation is correct.
I haven't had a chance to read the all the comments so this may have already been mentioned further down the line, but -- IMO mastering CSS (vanilla) is essential to understanding how browsers render content, which itself is vital to understanding how to structure content (and by extension, write browser JavaScript)

Just learn it! It's worth it. It also makes Tailwind and all those abstractions way easier to grasp.

P.S. Sass (SCSS) is incredibly powerful. Learn that too!

They're trying to hide the fact they've monopolized the labor market and they want you to assume this is all normal. It's a much higher level problem.

This is an interesting case of the "revive the economy" argument. If you really don't see a benefit, to you or your employer, to returning to work, you are being forced to waste money (spending implies you get something out of it). More generously, it's a tax where the benefits go to your local Subway or gas station (or maybe bistro and public transit).

There are probably lots of other ways to force people to waste money, so this raises two questions:

- Is a larger GDP an unequivocally good thing if you get there by raising people's baseline expenses?

- Are the parts of the economy you are stimulating the ones we want to see growing?

I don't know the answer in either case. But in the later case, I know a lot of people who work in carpentry and delivery apps, and since the pandemic they have made an absolute killing: the work-from-home mandate invigorated that part of the economy like nothing before.

P.S. I agree with your personal point about leaving home. I like going in to the office too: my office is about 20 minutes away by bike and it's nice to get some air. I'm not sure if applies to people who have a less healthy or refreshing commute.
Ok, fixed now. (Submitted title was "DeepSeek Drops Distributed DuckDB")

So this is pretty much it in my opinion. Mangers collaborate with other managers and it’s much easier and effective to do this in person. A big part of the job is this. It’s how you align cross functionally and lots of serendipitous things occur because of this. It’s much easier to build the types of relationships you need to effectively lead.

Individual contributors in many cases do not benefit from this. In fact it can be an active hindrance. An ICs contribution and performance is easily tracked and captured through the outputs and metrics they produce.

I think the best organization will be one where leadership and managers spend a good deal of the week in the office. High ranking contributors (player coach managers, leads, etc) spend some so they can collaborate with other leads and leaders. And most ICs are optional.
Firefox forks, such as Librewolf and Waterfox.
NB. I did explicitly say a GUI on top of a cli app is a broken approach. Your intuition comes from this -- that the git API is cli-first.

Source control should be designed graphically first, with a cli to automate. I routinely use tree-view and column view in macos finder to think-through fs organisation -- doing this as a sequence of cli commands would be masochistic.

Notice how all the best vcs tutorials are just providing basic visuals which would be better as the interface.
The phrase originally means that the subject is not a millionaire and likely will never be one, whereas many of us in tech are already millionaires or very likely to become one if we work in industry for any amount of time.

It took me about seven years in industry, starting from my first internship, to hit my first million. Non-FAANG and nothing magical happening with appreciating options or stock, just ordinary W-2 work.
> I did exactly what this exec advocated - using hard data and statistics to paint a picture of what these mandates look like from a worker perspective - and was roundly shot down.

Of course they did. If you want to convince a company doing RTO why it’s bad, you need to show the negative impacts to the organization. Everybody seems to approach this from their individual perspective.

It's just the realities of participating in a distributed system. There's no 'current state' or 'now'.

You could make the mental model easier to understand by centralising the state and switch to pessimistic locking instead of optimistic. But then you'd have to live with the downsides of those, like git's predecessors.

> Formfacade is a CRM that competes with HubSpot

It is not a CRM system and it is far from addressing the needs of users of real CRMs. Of course, an early stage startup or a business with less than 1000 customers can handle leads in Google Forms. But that is a lot to handle.

AI does not replace software engineering. It can enhance productivity on certain types of tasks, but AI is doing terrible job on something that mildly deviates from SO answers. It cannot build something like CRM or anything with rich domain.

It is absolutely possible to go solo today, but it’s not because of AI. Tech founder can just write a lot of good code. Business founder won’t get past outsourced no-code solution.

It's funny you say that. The NC DMV used to have a decent site for renewing registration. It was basic but functional. No bling. Took me like 2 minutes to use.

A few years ago they replaced it with a vendor solution (PayIt[1]). It's terrible. The renewal process easily takes 5x as long. The old site was two steps and a couple forms. The new site is this stupid chat bot interface that pretends like it's thinking between the half dozen or so steps it now is. On top of that, I get to pay $3 or something for the privilege of using it.

Annoys me just thinking about it.
