Past ~20mph-30mph, tire noise matches engine noise.

In the US, at least, this means that the vast majority of streets will not see much benefit from EV transition, at least with regard to road noise. The quality of the noise will change, but not the total volume.

As an anecdotal reference point on road noise, I live within a couple miles of an interstate, and the noise I tend to hear does not have discernible engine noise. This is, of course, from vehicles moving at a very different speed than any within a neighborhood.
I learned in my high school biology class (during the genetics sessions) that I am among the minority that cannot taste or smell Cyanide.

Last time I benchmarked png-tools, it was about 2-6x faster than fast-png for encoding.

https://github.com/mattdesl/png-tools

I’ve also added some other features like multi-threaded encoding, cancellation, encoding physical dimensions, color profiles, all of which is useful for encoding large print-ready PNGs on the client.

(No shade against fast-png, it’s a good library, but maybe not the fastest!)

You can also have that hooked up to the editor, just like `cargo check` errors. I find this to be quite useful, because i hace a hard time getting into habits, especially for thing that i'm not forced to do in some way. It's important that those Clippy lints are shown as soft warnings instead of hard errors though, as otherwise they'd be too distracting at times.

> My question to you is: why would I, as a consumer, want to make certain US exports more expensive for me to buy? Because the US does the same to their own consumers? How does that make any sense?

Because without reciprocity of tariffs USA's exports will have an unfair advantage against EU's exports, the EU will be losing money which impacts every EU citizen.

Does it suck you will be impacted? Of course, without reciprocal tariffs you'd also suffer the impact but instead of being higher prices it'd be by the USA selling more of their products while the EU would lose jobs, lowering our tax base, and all its 2nd and 3rd order effects.

If we are going to suffer anyway then it's best to make the USA suffer as well to have leverage when eventually it gets negotiated, what you are asking for is for the EU to have no leverage, creating an environment where in any negotiation the EU will have less power.

Blame the USA's government, the EU is just trying to protect itself and have some leverage against those stupid actions.

Not all segfaults necessarily point to exploitable bugs, but a segfault is usually very suspicious. On common architectures, you get a segmentation fault when there is a memory access violation. Which usually means you've either read from, written to, or tried to execute code at an address that is not readable, not writeable or not executable in your address space. That is suspicious because unless your program is intentionally doing that (which is relatively rare, and obviously in that case you would want to explicitly catch it with a signal handler) it suggests that some assumption your program is making about memory somewhere is incorrect. Like Go says, arbitrary memory corruption.

Is that exploitable? It depends. It's easier to assume that it is than hope that it isn't.

However, while it is a more serious category of issue, I have two reasons to suggest people don't over-index on it:

- Concurrency bugs that can not lead to segmentation faults are by no means safe, they can still lead to exploits of arbitrary severity. Ones that can are more dangerous since they can violate Go's own safety guarantees, but so can the "unsafe" package, so you need to put it into some perspective.

- Concurrency bugs that can are likely to be less common. In my experience, it is not extremely common to re-assign shared map or interface values in Go. If you are sharing a value of map, slice, string or interface and do plan on re-assigning it (thus causing the hazard in question) you can work around this problem trivially by adding a tiny bit of indirection, using an atomic pointer to the value instead, and re-assigning that pointer instead. Making a new value each time is no big deal since all of the fat pointers in question are still relatively small (just 2-3 machine words) though it incurs more allocations and pointer indirections so YMMV.

And of course I recommend using all applicable linters, the checklocks analyzer from gVisor, and careful encapsulation of shared memory where possible. Even better is to avoid it entirely if you can.

Of course, as much as I love Go, some types of program are going to need lots of hairy shared memory and mutations interweaving. And for that, Rust is the obvious best choice.

There are more elements to a compiler than determinism. That is, determinism isn't their sole defining property. I can compare other properties of compilers to LLMs. No "flip flop" there IMO, but your judgment may vary.

Perhaps it is impossible for you to imagine that LLMs can share some properties with compilers and other properties with humans? And that this specific blend of properties makes them unique? And that uniqueness means we have to take a nuanced approach to understanding their impact on designing and building systems?

So lets lay it out. LLMs are like compilers in that they take high level instructions (in the form of English) and translate it into programming languages. Maybe "transpiler" would be a word you prefer? LLMs are like humans in that this translation of high level instructions to programming languages is non-deterministic and so it requires system level controls to handle this imprecision.

I do not detect any conflict in these two ideas but perhaps you see things differently.

The key here is "within electronic health records"

Many of these things are tracked via taking the sticker off the device and putting it in the paper records.

Just because it isn't electronically tracked doesn't mean it's not tracked at all.

It needs to be tracked for recalls. It's (too) common for implants and things to be recalled, etc. They need to k ow who has what to do so.

As I said before, electronic health records are just a part of the picture.

(Edited to respond to your child comment)

If that's happening in your hospital system (loosing patient data when it enters the EHR) that's a problem you need to fix. It's not an indication that everyone has that same (major) issue. Your facility is not providing the standard of care expected and therefore patients will be harmed and your system will be sued (rightfully) as a result)

First of all if you are going to talk about valuation then that should be included here. And Google has always been terrible at developing and managing products. The list is too long to begin writing down. One funny example is the Pixel. I had a meeting with a slew of Google managers regarding mobile strategy (maps, reservations) and every single one of them had an iPhone. I doubt any of them ever even tried a Pixel. Same with the dozens (hundreds?) of software products that have died off or languished over the past 20 years.

"It's peer-to-peer, trust me bro!" The problem is that you are still using a website provided by a third-party to serve you the JavaScript program that initiates the transfer. It's easy to replace that JavaScript by something that just transfers a copy to the third-party itself. To be sure that the transfer is actually peer-to-peer, either the sender or receiver should run their own fillepizza server (and have verified that the source code does not contain any backdoors or phone-home code). But if you do that, you actually don't need a peer-to-peer solution anymore, it's turned into a client-server problem.

That rabbit hole will make you angry, then sad, then hopeless. I live in Chicago, on the South Side. The number of foolish fads in education have been forced on poor children for decades. It is shameful. Children should not be experimented on because their parents could not afford Catholic school or a house in the suburbs. Rich white people enjoy warping the minds of black children far too much. They never experiment with their own children, only ours. It is sickening.

You complain about not having control of how the `filter` works under the hood but are happy to give the language control over memory management. How much abstraction is too much abstraction? Where do you draw the line?

The main problem with chat is that there are too many angles to communication, making it impossible to fulfil all requirements with a single tool. Apple does IM, period, they don’t want any of the Slack-type team communications and that's fine for them. Even Facebook realised that having multiple chat apps is fine as long as they offer value on their own. Meanwhile, Google has gone through several iterations, with internal groups competing for the top spot in defining what a chat app should be, but ultimately falling short because there's no single chat app for all requirements. They aimed too close to the average and failed to deliver anything useful enough for any specific group.

> For even a 20-30 person company. My CTO at the last startup I was working for was constantly flying to talk to customers - B2B with long sales cycles. He was the first technical person that the CxOs at the other companies spoke to.

That's really not a job for the CTO. It's a job for a sales engineer (with whatever their CxO title is), and it requires a different skill set. You need to be able to extract the product requirements from the customer, and to distill them for other teams. You don't necessarily need to be able to guide their implementation.

> I find it quite funny when startups reach out to me about a “CTO” position that is really just a glorified team lead

But that's exactly what a CTO position is! Their job is to lead the technical teams, on the company level.

And a good CTO will know how to scale up. When you're working at a 10-people startup, you'll need to get into the details of the code on the actual "team lead" scale. Once you grow into a larger company, the job becomes a bit more abstract.

I worked at L6/L7 positions in AWS, and it indeed is a much more relaxed place if you want it to be. Being a CTO in a startup is way more stressful.

> Probably an unavoidable property that emerges from the sheer and perverse complexity of the human brain

Complexity alone causing consciousness, much like an infinite amount of monkeys coming up with Shakespeare's complete works, is a far flung pipe dream.

The hardware doesn't guarantee the software, but the software can't exist without the appropriate hardware is probably a better way to look at it.

There's so much life out there that survives just fine without consciousness that it seems like a very narrow stroke of luck that it occurred at all.

It's an artifact of their size -- no large corporation has vision or direction. Best they can aspire to is "stay the course". It's just something that inevitably happens as companies grow and age.
That is very interesting. You have quite the resume too. While I've dabbled in nearly everything, I'm a day to day pro C# developer and I absolutely love it. I've never been upset or had a complaint. If I were forced off for some reason, I'd just go to Typescript. I can't imagine using C. Perhaps with some form of AI valgrind. The problems C solved are just not relevant any longer, and it remains entrenched in 2025. Rust with AI analysis will be amazing to see the results of.

Ironically, AT&T's monopoly actually helped the adoption of Unix, but not in an exploitative way. In 1956, AT&T was subject to a consent decree by the US government, where AT&T was allowed to maintain its phone monopoly but was not allowed to expand its market to other sectors. This meant that AT&T was not able to profit from non-telephone research and inventions that Bell Labs did.

During Unix's early days, AT&T was still under this decree, meaning that it would not sell Unix like how competitors sold their operating systems. However, AT&T licensed Unix, including its source code, to universities for a nominal fee that covered the cost of media and distribution. UC Berkeley was one of the universities that purchased a Unix licenses, and researchers there started making additions to AT&T Unix which were distributed under the name Berkeley Software Distribution (this is where BSD came from). There is also a famous book known as The Lions' Book (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Commentary_on_the_UNIX_Opera...) that those with access to a Unix license could read to study Unix. Bootleg copies of this book were widely circulated. The fact that university students, researchers, and professors could get access to an operating system (source code included) helped fuel the adoption of Unix, and by extension C.

When the Bell System was broken up in 1984, AT&T still retained Bell Labs and Unix. The breakup of the Bell System also meant that AT&T was no longer subject to the 1956 consent decree, and thus AT&T started marketing and selling Unix as a commercial product. Licensing fees skyrocketed, which led to an effort by BSD developers to replace AT&T code with open-source code, culminating with 4.3BSD Net/2, which is the ancestor of modern BSDs (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD). The mid-1980s also saw the Minix and GNU projects. Finally, a certain undergraduate student named Linus Torvalds started work on his kernel in the early 1990s when he was frustrated with how Minix did not take full advantage of his Intel 386 hardware.

Had AT&T never been subject to the 1956 consent decree, it's likely that Unix might not have been widely adopted since AT&T probably wouldn't have granted generous licensing terms to universities.

I wrote a browser extension with the easiest and fastest video to audio conversion locally. Just install in your browser and no third party sites or apps are needed.

I look forward to your comments!
Above commenter got it exactly right. Yes, if you've installed extensions with malicious code, your data anywhere can be exfiltrated.

That is one of the privacy dangers of cryptpad, and it's not particularly far-fetched. Specifically with shared documents, one needs to trust that every extension every user who visits your document has installed is non-malicious in order to have an assurance that only approved people will see those docs.

Of course this is a browser-based consideration that would affect shared docs on any browser-based platform, but as a privacy-focused app I think it's fair to consider modes of failure inherent in it being a browser-based app. Signal and other Desktop applications, by contrast, wouldn't have these same risks (and Cryptpad could similarly bundle its client as an electron-based app to provide better security).

The biggest problem with C is that doesn't even have enough features to help you build the features and abstractions you need and want.

For example with C++ the language offers enough functionality that you can create abstractions at any level, from low level bit manipulation to high level features such as automatic memory management, high level data objects etc.

With C you can never escape the low level details. Cursed to crawl.
You can just do things.
No, you're just evading responsibility which, unfortunately, is typical of the tech sector these days.

Judging by the phrase “quiet and comfortable” (emphasis in the original), the author is using headphones from the Bose QuietComfort series. Those are, indeed, widely acklowledged as the most comfortable in each generation, including for prolonged periods. The ANC is also state of the art though possibly a bit worse than on the Sony XMs, and the battery is decent with the same caveat.

I don’t believe I’ve ever heard the AirPods Max called the best on any of those fundamentals, only on the Apple ecosystem integration and the spatial audio. (The tuning is also ostensibly less plebeian than on Bose or Sony, but if you care for sound enough to be willing to spend AirPods Max money you’re probably getting the Focal Bathys instead anyway.)

> There are more elements to a compiler than determinism.

Yes, but determinism is the factor that allows me to treat compilers as a black box without verifying their output. LLMs do not share this specific property, which is why I have to verify their output, and easily verifiable software is what I call "maintainable".
