It's not "dabbling", their whole model is ad-funded and crypto-funded.
The main thing I struggle with in git is the habit of “make a change, make a commit”.

I will often do multiple commits but they will be all at once as I go through and make a commit and include any relevant changes in the commit.
It’s interesting how this quote can apply to so many different things throughout history.

I know it specifically references the 1960’s San Francisco counter culture but it’s a poignant quote because it can apply beyond that too.
It was always possible to configure a victim device to be a Bluetooth beacon if you had root on the victim device. You just clone an AirTag to the victim by changing the victim's Bluetooth address (using root access) and start broadcasting FindMy beacons.

What is novel in this attack is that you can use non-root access. You observe the victim's fixed Bluetooth address, and then craft a FindMy beacon that happens to match. Since the FindMy beacon is basically just a public key that the receiver uses to encrypt location data, crafting the beacon is just finding a public/private key pair that matches the victim's Bluetooth address. Since broadcasting a beacon requires less rights (less than root), this is much more broadly exploitable (excluding the expensive precomputation step).
ahem SpaceX.

No Musk fan, but that company has been doing a real bang-up (literally) job of developing affordable launch systems.

I think the SLS is a disaster, and I suspect is very much in DOGE's crosshairs.

As always, "it depends" is really where the truth lies. There doesn't seem to be anyone that is "always right," or "always wrong."

It's the extremists that believe that there is "always right/wrong," that cause the pain.
I have no kids, but perhaps positive role models can be found in more specific categories like music. For example, I think Jacob Collier sets a great example. And I think my parents had similar concerns. I was raised on gangster rap and Eminem, and my parents were very concerned about that. But overall, I think I turned out alright. My feeling is that it’s much more important to have role models closer to home. The light that Elon Musk and Andrew Tate are cast in can be greatly influenced by the people around your kids if not directly by parents
And what led him to take his own life?

The ICE union endorsed Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024 -- the only presidential endorsements it has ever made.

https://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/immigration-customs-e...

The FBI has traditionally leaned Republican (it has never had a Democratic director), as has the US military (especially the Air Force).

Biden did not purge ICE, nor did he replace Trump's FBI director, etc.

"the people let go were unable or unwilling to send an email listing 5 things they accomplished in the last week"

This is entirely false. This is so incredibly false that I am actually shocked you were willing to post it. It is hard for me to imagine anything more absurd and untrue someone could have said about this topic. I tremble with fear thinking about what your media diet must look like in order for you to believe this absolute nonsense.

Having worked on a rating system, I think 10 levels are useful (or 5 levels with half-stars). You can create better averages/recs using 10 levels, since ratings of 0 or 10, which are often spammy, can be down-weighed.
I think the sentiment was that the mentally ill would be more susceptible to misinformation.
It is, because so many folks make such a big deal of how using computers as they used to be until early 1980's, with single static linking model.

Ironically the same folks don't see to appreciate how object files and binary libraries work in static linking, lets make it even better compiling always from source.

If someone entirely outside my chain of command demands I give them a status update, “no” is often an appropriate answer.

It doesn’t mean I can’t. It means I shouldn’t.
Well, we don’t need two identity providers, for one. I’m sure the non wasteful things will be sustained under different management that isn’t insubordinate.

This is false. Source: I added WebGL 2 support to WebKit using ANGLE, with Apple's help (they made ANGLE's Metal backend). Firefox uses ANGLE on every platform for shader translation, and on some platforms it uses ANGLE for the entire API (on others it has a custom OpenGL to WebGL translation layer).
That assumes:

1. There is meaningful fraud or waste to cut out.

2. That the goal-post won’t be moved, to squeeze more savings.

3. That the methods that lead to inefficiencies aren’t being repeated.

4. That redundancies are a “waste”. Just in time supply chains are terrible in a disaster, for example.

And everything I’ve seen in the past 50 years and especially in the past month strongly indicate
more long-term inefficiencies.
There are partial markets at best. There is generally a single owner of the physical infrastructure for transmission and distribution. Also, don’t forget that the FCC forced utilities into in the 70s to allow telecoms to hang cable off of their poles; the utilities certainly had no incentive to do so at a fair rate.
It’s from TFA.
Stirling PDF? https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF
I love this book. It's what helped me move from an intermediate Git user to an advanced one, and I've subsequently trained a bunch of people at different organizations by going through it.

However, Pro Git is not an ideal resource for newbies unless they are highly motivated or receiving generous training. A simple graphical representation of your own repo goes a long way towards establishing a mental model of what Git is doing internally — which is in my view the chief insight of mjburgess's post at the top of this thread.

I don't think there is one unified plan to destroy the federal government; however, many influential people in the current administration are motivated to destroy particular parts of the federal government and will not get in each other's way. I believe the result of this is that the current administration will attempt to destroy the union (inclusive OR) of all the agencies that influential individuals within the administration want to destroy.

Here's a quote from the conservative political operative and self-described Christian Nationalist Russ Vought, who is both the current and former head of the Office of Management and Budget under Trump:

“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down so that the EPA can't do all of the rules against our energy industry because they have no bandwidth financially to do so. We want to put them in trauma.” [1]

This is a visceral and radical statement which has gotten some airtime on the news recently. However, it's interesting to note that Project 2025, which Vought helped lead and authored key sections of, does not advocate for the dismantling of USAID, rather recommending that its mission be narrowly aligned to national security goals[2]. In 2025, however, Elon Musk wanted USAID shuttered, and Vought was happy to oblige in his position as "the nerve center of the federal budget."

However, Project 2025 advocates for eliminating or defunding the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Education, EPA, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and other government agencies. It's likely that these will also come under fire.

Finally (and this is my opinion), I believe it is impossible to understand this current administration's policy agenda without at least a surface level understanding of the writing of Curtis Yarvin, a software developer and reactionary political blogger. One this topic, Yarvin says the following:

“What is government? A government is just a corporation which owns a country. Nothing more, nothing less. It so happens that our sovereign corporation is very poorly managed and there’s a very simple way to replace that, which is what we do to all corporations that have failed. We simply delete them.”

This is expected after using policy to close the wage gap artificially quickly. Fast movement towards a goal means overshoot (under damped). Letting the wage gap naturally close as societial enlightenment increases could've resulted in no overshoot (critically damped).

We should strive to dampen the oscillation to a minimum around the desired setpoint (wage equity). If the oscillation grows rather than dampens, the instability will eventually break the larger system that it's operating in.

Take the analogy of 'the pendulum swings both ways' for societal norms. If you apply pressure to the pendulum you could slow it to a stop, or you could speed it up enough that it breaks it's chain and becomes a cannonball.
> I’ve been a medium-sized fundraiser for Mozilla. They’re going to see seven-figure chargebacks from a variety of directions over the coming weeks.

You donated a seven-figure sum to Mozilla that you are going to chargeback? Sorry i didn't understand this part.
A very tiny percentage of people will switch.

No body wants to pay say 20$ a month for what they can have for free. I suspect you'd need a few hundred million in annual revenue to actually fund a full browser that doesn't rely on existing engines.
Clever. I appreciate the write up.
>(And if you donated to Mozilla in the past by credit card, consider a chargeback.)

???

A chargeback isn't supposed to be some sort of ultra bad review. It can only be invoked for specific reasons, like the merchant failing to deliver goods/services as expected, or an unauthorized payment. A donation is by definition a payment without expectation for anything in return, so you're going to have a hard time claiming the former. You might be more successful with the latter, but you'd also be committing wire fraud in the process.
But there is no message outside the rational layer when you're talking to a non-human. The only message is the amount of true information the LLM is able to output - the rest is randomness. It's fatiguing to have your human brain try to interpret emotions and social dynamics where they don't exist, the same way it's fatiguing to try and interpret meaning from a generated image.

Because you need some analog features with your digital design.

They could’ve gone the Wikipedia route and heavily asked for donations, but, instead, they’ve chosen to sell user data. That’s why I must leave. At least Google was very obviously reliant on advertising. Mozilla had no excuse other than desperation and pure idiotic evil.
I'm using PubMed to prepare for a lecture I'm giving on Monday right now and it is working fine: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
I feel the "War of the sexes" as you call it is still a relatively fringe phenomenon. I mean, I see it discussed online, and I personally know people who have strong opinions on the subject, but, at least in my circles, I don't know anyone who is a model representative of the "incel/neet" male archetype on the one hand, and the "kill-all-white-cis-men" female archetype.

I believe it's because social media amplify extremes.
Yes...but I'd argue these zones always existed [0] and aren't going to disappear anytime soon. That's where looking at how much the insecurity perception goes up or down can be more relevant that how many of these exist in total.

Slightly off-topic, but there are areas where cops are more in danger than the general public (visceral ACAB sentiment), and people from the higher spheres of society also won't set a foot there. These places will fit both profiles of "no-law" zone and being extremely peaceful and easy to live in.

I wanted to create an mp3 player (not just wav) using a pico and found this repository very instructive: https://github.com/ikjordan/picosounds

To handle decoding and the overhead of moving bits around, it uses a dual-buffer DMA approach. It reads data from an SD card, running the decoding routine on the main CPU. The decoded samples are written into one of two buffers. While one buffer is being written to, the other is read via DMA and sent to the PWM buffer (more on PWM audio here: https://x.com/beala/status/1826147833168408738). Because DMA is used, data transfer can occur in parallel with decoding, without involving the main processor. When the bits have all been written to the PWM buffer, an interrupt triggers a buffer swap, and the process repeats.

I'm leaving out many details. Tuning the pwm speed to achieve correct playback speed was quite an adventure. And when I needed to increase the clock speed to play higher sample rates, this caused I/O errors with the SD card that I never managed to solve. Although I learned a lot from this process, I ultimately opted to use an MP3 module in my final build: https://store-usa.arduino.cc/products/dfplayer-a-mini-mp3-pl...

This is probably routine for an experienced embedded engineer, but it was quite a learning experience for me!
This is a single chip. At scale, the ASIC is absolutely cheaper.
> Don’t get a job.

All advice is circumstantial, and this one seems particularly painted by OP circumstances.

When I got my first job, I was living paycheck to paycheck and partially supporting my family. I can't imagine how could I possibly quit my job to pursue side projects. A few years later I did work in a side project that went nowhere for 2-3 years in a manner similar to how OP describes.

Sometimes dedicating yourself 100% to your own venture is the right call, but this piece seems to assume this is a choice everyone can make easily.
It may be worthwhile to take a deeper look at Pandoc if other replies don’t respond with something easier.

Many believe his “chemical castration” (forced hormone therapy) caused depression first, suicide later.

> The unfortunate thing about this is that going through the support emails in my case is something that takes about 2-3 hours a day – which is not enough to hire someone and train them. Not to mention that most of the reports actually need some technical knowledge. So unless I would hire another developer, in the end, the really administrative stuff that someone could do instead of me is a 30-minute-a-day job.

This part hits home for me. I only have 1 app to support and the volume is low, well below the 100/day the author gets, but it can still be a struggle to get myself to get in there and write the replies. It’s all easy “on paper” but it becomes more of a mental game that’s hard to even describe without sounding like an idiot.

I’ve tried hiring some help and ran into the same thing where some problems were just too technical, and I had to hop in. It was wonderful to have their help for all the other stuff, but tough to justify the cost.

It seems like an area where AI could help draft replies that I could read over before sending. If that could even get to 50% correct based on past conversations it’d be pretty great. (Or who knows, maybe this is the kind of thing you build and then realize it creates more problems than it solves)
I mean if Marriott’s site isn’t loading on Chromium, the problem is very unlikely to be with Marriott or Chromium.

How do you "start by motivating people to improve"? Cause all the inefficiency at best, corruption at worst and all in between is there not randomly because it serves the motivation of the people working there.
FWIW, you don't have to do that rename dance; git allows specifying the name of the .git metadata directory via `git --git-dir=$HOME/.git_hidden ...` or `GIT_DIR=$HOME/.git_hidden git ...`

I don't know how big your .gitignore must be when trying to use a tool that wants to own every file and directory to manage your /home but if that works for you, more power to ya

Hours worked isn't the problem. It's super easy to work a ton when the motivation is right.

Google becoming organizationally deadlocked is the problem.

It bears repeating: Google _basically invented_ the transformer architecture and were out-executed. Doesn't matter whether people were working 40 hrs remotely or 100 hrs per week on-site; this is an organizational failure.

Understanding Smallpond and 3FS
This one is probably the best intro I've read: https://v5.chriskrycho.com/essays/jj-init/

Really, really good examples and walkthroughs with easy to understand, animated console sessions that show real-world-ish use cases including conflict resolution and why JJ's model makes it easier.

Really good read and easy to digest because of the animated session replays.

My main takeaway is that the missing pieces right now are IDE support for a world filled with detached heads and a foolproof upstream integration pattern on `push` (requires a bit of manual work to designate the target branch).

I think this is the wrong framing. You should not be expecting to find role models on the internet to begin with. This is not an environment designed to produce examples of healthy human life. (This was also generally true of TV, btw, excluding PBS.) I do have many people, including some men, on the internet I respect and try to model my own behavior on. None of them are trying to rake up views on YouTube, twitch, or any social media platform. hasanabi is the closest this gets and he's clearly trying to cater to teenage boys/young men and is irrelevant to my life, although I do admire his commitment to being a bulwark against reactionary takes.

Secondly, we need to be teaching emotional identification, regulation, and how to make yourself happy without comparing yourself to others. How to be a valuable member of a community. None of this is specific to men, of course, but the masculinity of that will reveal itself in how people choose to present themselves—nobody is saying men shouldn't try to provide for the people around them or shouldn't protect them or shouldn't be a basis of emotional stability. Notably, it's also masculine (to others) to abandon your family and community. Two very different conceptions that are equally real in our society. If you start from the assumption of some platonic ideal of "masculinity" you'll end up very confused.

If you can figure out how to sell this to a bunch of teenage boys you can conquer the world. Personally, I think men are gonna need to feel a generation of pain or two before the obvious incentives are going to align with boys learning to take care of themselves.

All of my role models as a child were fictional characters, only about half of them were men, and little of their attraction had to do with helping me feel secure in my masculinity. So perhaps I'm just missing the point entirely.
When people say "CSS modules", I never know which one they mean. There's a feature on the spec track for CSS "imports". There's also a family of webpack plugins with various behavior. CSS modules, collectively solved it a number of times with various trade-offs. You can even end up with multiple kinds of CSS modules in the same code base.
Counteract might be the wrong word.. The ongoing dysfunction doesn't fall from the sky, it is largely a consequence of people prioritizing the goals they are assigned for the betterment of their group, etc.

No, there are not. You can't have 15 different companies running 15 different cables over 15 different sets of electric poles into a house, each competing on delivery of electricity (or water, or sewage, or...).

Well, you can, but there's nothing good or efficient about it.
It has stopped everyone except for Google and arguably Apple (I mean Apple is a bit of a weird case because they only have to support their platform really, and everyone kind of expects Safari on iOS to be a little restricted anyway).

Fossil is the SQLite one right? I would love to try alternatives SCM tools, but you run into the fact that associated tooling is so concentrated on git and its processes.

I was using bitbucket and mercurial for a while! If fossil had something similar (which off the top of my head, I think they do? Something wiki-like for the SQLite project) I would be willing to mess around with it on a small team or something.
