can I say something.

This is one of the most finest and most accurate things that I have read in a long time.

This really could be a blog post which I encourage you to make! (I would prefer github pages but if you really want , I have a domain name on cloudflare and I am more than willing to host the static page of such blog on my own domain name for absolutely free (lets go , cloudflare!)

Its just facts. Pure facts.

Generally, I’ve found that almost no founders or friends I speak with have any vision for the future anymore. They care only about making money and do not care how. It’s a spectacular collapse of vision and purpose—these people have always existed but it feels incredibly pervasive now.

Why did I read it in a monotonous way as if a student from the future understands the current scenario.
I felt as if it was the same level of sadness in my heart as that when you listen to some video which has raining background and he reads the dark comedy (something like burialgoods oats shitposting but this time more serious and real!)

Currently saving this on wayback machine just for this comment. Internet needs to preserve this comment , no matter what.
All I need to know about COVID is encapsulated in the market caps of big tech in late 2019 vs the market caps of big tech now.
Well, not OP, but there's definite degradation in software quality and attention to detail.

Some is due to Scrum. It's actually not the fault of the methodology but that it's been half implemented by companies that did waterfall before. You are expected to finish a feature in a sprint, but you have no connection to speak to the stakeholders/customers.

The other things are these KPIs, and unsurprisingly, the bean counters behind them don't care about refactoring or addressing tech debt.

In a sense, yes, we need to focus on delivering value but it's much more chaotic now, so it's very difficult to deliver performant features that deliver also what was expected.
Totally believe in this in my current company. It’s allegedly tech but it’s in a blue collar field and led my domain people, not tech people. Since its inception, the company was subsidized by the parent company. Now that PE owns it and there’s a mandate to make money, it can’t.

A major, major problem are engineers that have zero vision of the big picture. I get a ticket, I work on it, I go home. My most senior engineer on the team never met a deadline in his life. I own an integration product and found out last week two other products I integrate with were about to ship without testing my product. They tested on laptops. I dove in to an analysts ticket with him to figure out why he blew the timeline he committed to. Turns out he was trying to reverse engineer a database instead of just asking another team. “You think I’m going to get any answers from those fuckers?” He asked me when I drilled him.

All these people are still, to this day, protected be the President. He views domain knowledge as being more important than shipping products.
Even with perfect recording things will go bad pretty fast. The Black Mirror episode was just too naive.

And wait till the very explicit AI that is meant to record everything near you ends in the very implicit one in your smartphone, computers and other gadgets which manufacturers may decide that an extra AI push may be better for the service it provides (using Hanlon's Razor here)
It's shorthand for something or it's a typo. It doesn't make sense otherwise.
Such examples can be found all over UK law, it is, as you say in effect a by-product of the common law system.

But also it also comes from the way legislation is written in the UK...

1. A member of parliament (MP) brings a "bill" to Parliament proposing a new law or a chnge in the law.
2. If it has legs, then it will end up being debated in Parliament
3. Almost always politics starts coming into play and MPs of all parties will usually propose real or party-political amendements to the bill which are then debated and voted on.
4. You then have a ping-pong process with the upper house (Lords), stuff goes back and forth between Lords and Commons ... more amendements are made along the way.
5. Finally once everyone has come to some sort of agreement it goes to the monarch to be signed into law (this is purely ceremonial, the document is presented to the monarch as a done-deal).

So that's why you end up with all these messy looking and almost incomprehensible pieces of legislation, there's quite a lot of "too many chefs" going on at every stage apart from the first and last.

Therefore as you point out it looking at UK law in the absence of case law is a fool's errand.

It is also where good barristers are worth their money because they are know the case-law like the back of their hand, and if there is no case law for your situation, they will have a good handle on the "letter and spirit" of the law in question and hence your prospects if it goes to court.
This book is very clearly a labor of love. He put so much work into it, much more than would have been necessary to just create a simple book about Erlang.

It's very well done and if you're at all interested in Erlang, is worth purchasing.
In the above Chinese this doesn't really make sense.
I don't know if interest rates can explain everything. It isn't like start ups are being funded by taking loans out at the bank.
IDK about other countries, but...

Nursing homes are required to have trained care staff, 24x7x365. For example, check Florida here:

https://www.nursinghomelawcenter.org/news/nursing-home-staff...

If a facility managed to keep their average cost of those state-minimum direct care hours down to $30/hour - that'd still be $40k/year. On top of that, they must have higher-level medical staff, admin. staff, laundry service, 365x3 meals per year of healthy-ish food, and pay for a facility that meets all the legal requirements. (And probably a bunch of other stuff, that IDK about.)
A testament to the lack of success of this machine is that as a 50 year pdp-11 aficionado with a collection of machines from this period, I'd never heard of it until now! I knew about the Rainbow of course, and the pdp-8 based desk machines, but no clue this thing existed.
This has nothing to do with earning a livable wage. It’s not like the top 2% are only earning enough to barely get by.
My drive-by opinion: "telecommuting" has an advantage in optics/marketing and flexibility over "work from home" for both business leaders and employees. If I tell a board of directors or shareholders that "80% of our workforce performs some fraction of their weekly tasks ______", I imagine the following:

- "from home" elicits images of relaxation and lost productivity, while "via telecommuting" sounds like a commute still takes place and work is just as productive

- "from home" sounds like retreating to a comfort zone, while "via telecommuting" sounds like embracing a new technology or skill

- "from home" sounds like remote workers ought to be performing their tasks from their domicile only, while "via telecommuting" sounds like remote workers can do their work wherever they are

If businesses had adopted "telecommuting" terminology, I believe business leaders would not feel obligated to push back in order to regain productivity. I think it's easier to attack the trend of WFH given the points above. I actually agree with the proposal that WFH is a weak terminology, but had never sat down and thought about it before.

From the perspective of initial adoption, I think it would have happened just as fast. Workers were thrust into remote work arrangements during COVID, and everyone would have quickly gotten the gist of what "telecommuting" means, so it would have been the new buzzword to attract talent in job listings just as "remote" or "work from home" have been. Just without the downsides in CEO perception.
In the short term a free open source govt alternative may be a net positive for society. I don't think it is in the long run. Government projects like these are not likely to really push the state-of-the-art forward. This project even advertises itself as a FOSS Notion alternative. Do government-sponsored clones encourage or stymie innovation? I think the latter.

Every week we read in the news that the EU struggles with entrepreneurship. That our tech industry is languishing. That the EU gets out-competed by the US on software and by China on everything else. Europe should be making industry-leading apps. Europe should produce software startups that make products that get used worldwide. EU subsidized clones of popular American products feels like admitting defeat.

I'm obviously biased because I'm also working on a product in this space. But if Notion developers must become farmers because innovation no longer pays that is a loss to the world in my book.
Name a blue state that has voted in to congres the person responsible for the biggest Medicare fraud in history. Name a blue state that routinely bans books like Florida. Name a blue state that is regularly devastated by the increasing effects of climate change and elects people who deny it. Name a blue state that has a government so fragile and detached from reality they had to fire the person who was responsible for releasing covid statistics. No, this is not a full endorsement for everything the democratic party has ever done and no, this is not saying blue states don't have problems. I'm just so tired of this "both sides" nonsense.
Can anyone explain how the dual ARM/RISC-V system works, architecturally?

Are there two actual CPUs on the same die? Is it one shared architecture with two different instruction decode stages, one for ARM and the other for RISC-V that can be toggled at boot time? I like the idea conceptually but I'm not sure how much of that is a hack and/or inefficient compared to a pure ARM or RISC-V core.
What does resetting this look like? How do you get lithium to re-solidify as a "wall" in the shape and place desired?

Its a collapse from fictional reality to real reality , but a collapse nonetheless.

Sometimes reality acts more weird than fiction itself. I have just now decided to call this "fictional reality"

Like yesterday when I realized that nuclear bombs weren't that far away from the creation of chemical resonance & they happened after world war I and I think , just really 5-6 years before nuclear bombs but still!

It actually gave me a lot of hope because I felt that a lot of people were focusing on AI , so I can use AI (sometimes , if I want) to focus on a passion project that I want , to maybe earn some money.

I have also thought of creating AI projects but that too for fun. I don't know two shits but I just want to know what the hype is about from a theoretical standpoint.
Is he going to update it with how AI will assist in migrations? Or get an LLM to ghostwrite it?
Finding this helpful in preventing looping and having a more control over my systems. Going from single-agent to a multi-agent I find, expoentially increases the amount of troubleshooting but has better benefits for more complicated tasks (ie. deep research)

They are. The wealthy take low interest loans out on their assets to invest in more assets
You know what, let them do it. I'm ready to retire anyway.

I want to see what happens when somebody looks at the high-rise sand castle that is modern technology and decides that there wasn't enough sand involved.
Animal brains do not separate long term memory and processing - they are one and the same thing - columnar neural assemblies in the cortex that have learnt to recognize repeated patterns, and in turn activate others.
Sure, it's just that the DX of getting that commit hash isn't terrific, so one might be more inclined to trust an auto-update bot to automatically update them instead. A lock file is more like TOFU on a tag. I'd also take a UI like a "bake" button and CLI flag that substituted the hashes automatically, but you just know people are going to build `--bake` right in to their automation.

Another solution would be to implement immutable tags in git itself, but git upstream has so far been hostile to the whole concept of immutability in any part of git.
I haven’t tried sticking an image in it yet, but I drafted a blog post in it already this morning.

Very fun. Nice and lightweight. I like it.

I may submit a PR for you - I have some ideas about how I could make this more personally useful. Saving off files as Markdown is one idea I had. Would solve my “no pretty markdown editor” woes, and also allow me to chuck output from this directly into my existing GitHub Pages blog.
Good. Why should taxpayers be forced to pay for those who didn't prioritize saving? Private charity is fine, but there is no reason for the government to supplement this.
If the CCPA does indeed interpret this as an opt-out signal, those 7.4 trillion are going to be at risk of a whole lot of (class action) lawsuits. The spec is trying to make itself applicable as an official, regulated signal. DNT couldn't, because Colorado (or more likely, a large donation by those 7.4 trillion dollars) decided that an opt-out cannot be the default.

The stupidest thing is that Google actually got in trouble for trying to restrict third party cookies by default. The UK competition watchdog agreed with advertising companies that Google making such a decision would be abuse of power and bad for competition. That's why they came up with this weird alternative ad system where your browser tracks your interests and shares them in request, so that ad companies can shut the fuck up about it.

Once Google is forced to sell Chrome to a third party, I hope third party cookies will finally be disabled by default.
Even entertaining the idea is extremely disturbing and dystopian. Having control over what we watch and what we listen to should be basic human rights. And those are inalienable, meaning we can't sign away those rights, not in a contract, not in any terms of service.

People who accept that as something a company should be allowed to do are a massive problem. Because of you, they might actually do it. It will start by making sure you cannot mute the sound in any way, designing hardware in a way to enforce that - devices will start overriding the use of external speakers and play ads from internal ones to make absolutely sure you haven't muted it. Next they will force always-on cameras on us which will make sure our eyes are open and looking at the ad. Next we will have brain implants to make sure you're actually paying attention and not thinking about something else.

I find it extremely disturbing that you don't feel disgusted about even thinking of "yes".
That's why this Trump 2.0 is not at all bothering me. I mean, I'm sorry to see the loss of America's unrealized potential, being a great theoretical govt framework, the best in the world, looks to me.

But when it gets really shitty, it'll be shitty for all of us, but I'm not going to deserve it because I haven't been living with my head up my arse. The fools here have voted for a lying, cheating, raping bastard who is obviously beholden to foreign interests.

So, when the Trumpers get to suffering, I ain't gonna have one iota of pity for them. They're going to learn how it feels when no one cares about them, those dumb fucks.

And, know that I don't want them to be miserable, but I'm gonna let them reap what they've sown, and make sure they know that they deserve it.

Maybe some of them will actually WAKE UP.

You should all embrace compassion for one and all before shit gets messy.
> I’ve found that almost no founders or friends I speak with have any vision for the future anymore.

I think in general there is a feeling that the time to get your bag is rapidly shrinking.

Once everything is built by these things there will be no reason to create anything as the platform owners (big tech) will be able to take everything for themselves and no longer have to share 70% with those pesky creators/small business/startups etc.
There was a roundtable discussion on their YouTube channel a few days ago. In my own experience with Cursor, I don't doubt them at all.

It's a very different way of coding but it absolutely does work.
>>>or provide any form of transit other than your own car.

My last visit in November I hiked 4 miles on a trail in Ocala National Forest.

It was devine. No other humans encountered.

Florida is too big for Public Transit. Some of the train routes seem successful.
Because they paid their taxes during their working years?

Edit: let’s not forget it’s the governments responsibility to look after their citizens? Not just their frugal ones.
The "fall" of Elon is truly a testament to just how fast and effective the alt-right neo-nazi pipeline is. I think it would be a mistake to read the situation as anything other than else. He's so deep into the world he's stopped realizing just how not normal his words and actions are to the people outside it. He is exactly the demographic they target— an insecure middle-aged white man with unexplained unease and discomfort related to his identity and masculinity. And the fact that Elon is generally fairly intelligent only makes their job easier. Being smart, especially when it becomes part of your self-image, doesn't stop you from taking on bad ideas, it just makes you better a defending them to yourself.

It's really disappointing to see the guy who was your normal cringy self-important tech guy but putting his money into genuinely cool stuff get addicted to social media and sucked into a cult because of it. It's hard to square what he's done and will go on to do— the people he has and will hurt, with the fact that he's also a victim of it. A real life tragic character I suppose.
I'm not worried about the cost, you can probably run all of it in the closet on a Raspberry Pi, it's the complexity. What do you do when part of this inevitably fail, how do you get your data back out, where is the data? In Minio, in Postgresql?
Something you might be interested in is that journalctl (systemd's logger) can output real time logs in a format for server-sent-events (journalctl -o json-sse) so with a minimal bash http wrapper you can get realtime logs from most linux systems into your app.
Yup, this is my biggest question too. I'd love to switch to this but I definitely need my relational database features.
The goal is for major industries to stop paying taxes, loot national assets, and repress threats to their dominance and income streams.

This requires short-circuiting all of the machinery that makes civil society possible. And if you get to sicken, impoverish, and kill Americans in the process? Bonus!
Do we have a tally of communist vs capitalist millions of victims

I feel like we never had 'real' communism, as much as we never had real 'free markets' yet

Not just any dictator. Hitler in particular.
Can you iterate on that? I would like to understand what you are saying.
By jail time, do you mean advertisers on YouTube have done such a malicious thing? YT did not block these efforts?
So what JavaScript framework do I need to learn?
Good advice in general. I would add - try to pick a skill which gives you a deep understanding in something fundamental which will always be relevant, rather than a particular shiny tech.

I would love the bay area, but unfortunately it is extremely inaccessible for me and others once you have a family. Trying to find a place to live in a good school district seems like it takes minimum $2M for a house. Renting is less long term secure when trying to maintain consistency for kids. That's not even get into earthquakes and wildfires!
Consider what companies are launching these days and the talent they need to do it. It's AI companies, it's hardware, it's hard science. It's fewer Uber for pet grooming. There's less appetite for investing in the latter companies and _normal_ software developers are less useful for the former. Yes, ZIRP has contributed, but there are wider economic and social issues that are above my pay grade at play.

The safest space continues to be distributed systems and systems programming in general IMO. You'll still find work at hyperscalers. You'll still find work in the new spaces. Until AI can operate these systems, there'll be a spot for us bit janitors for a little while longer.
It is completely reasonable to see France in that light given recent history of the US - a man who should be in prison for insurrection is the head of the executive.
I just don't think his wife's voice is that great and I don't think the music is that inspired.

It probably depends though how much Coil a person listened to. I just don't think the music is powerful or weird enough if you are going to call the band "How to Destroy Angels".
It is entirely irrelevant who pioneered the tech. This is why no one gives a crap about xerox anymore.

Dismissing Chinese tech is foolish. They are tech leaders in many areas and moving to new ones every day. Solar, Nuclear, Batteries, EVs, Drones, Robotics etc. They have no one to copy in those fields because they have left the rest of the world behind.
Both Slack and Teams can be configured to be HIPAA-compliant (as I already mentioned). Note that iMessage is NOT HIPAA-compliant.
> Ahhh, yes, the Great War of 2021 when the US invaded Sweden, Finland, and Norway for having governments in power that have far more than “even the slightest socialist tendencies”.

No, the Great Stupidity of 2025, when the US started officially endorsing the extreme right-wing in the EU and calling for its dismantlement.
What's the comparative?

The US is restricting nvidias ability to ship GPU's because they're worried about AI. At least the EU's stance is: open, voted on and clear.

Putin has always been "for peace" - meaning, give Ukraine to him, and he'll stop trying to take Ukraine over :)

(and if he still has war fighting capability left, attack the next country going west in ~5 years)
Allowing assholes to continue being assholes is the crux of the problem. Companies ignoring DNT on as a default should have been met with massive punitive fines and liability. Instead, we're not doing anything to curtail the behavior.
Many Americans think public healthcare competes with private hospitals and insurance companies. A criticism of public education in the beginning was that it would put (private) schools out of business. All we're talking about here is where the line is.
How is anyone that is a software engineer that has been replaced by AI going to make rent?
You pose a great question, perhaps complicated by the fact that pretty much Welsh speakers will also have more-or-less native English (if somewhat Cambricised).

Unfortunately I am merely a Q-Celt and not qualified to comment, though I'd love to see an answer from someone else.

I would venture that if there is a difference it may arise from the relative differences in phoneme classifcation that result from the mother tongue (c.f. linguistic relativity of colour perception). It might even be possible to divine some of those differences by looking at tables of regional accents like those you can find on Wikipedia/Wiktionary, e.g. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Welsh_pronunciation
Hmm, is the argument that it's a generational problem?

Maybe it is, but I find it strange that nobody seems to care that visiting a page downloads 100s of MBs of packages that clogs the browser. Or, that latencies in backend replies can go into multiple 10s of seconds, etc.

Back in the day, we had to make sure the software ran on less performant computers and we painstakingly analyzed memory allocations and checking the run times of requests, etc. We also had to make sure that the software baked onto CDs worked, there was no multi GB downloads after install possible.

I, for one, would still like that to be the case for the software I use and would still prefer to have the time to do this for the projects I work on.
