Lego City Undercover was so good. It's one of the only game I have 100% completed. My kids and I spent many hours just goofing off in that world. I'd love to see a sequel.

One thing I like about it is it's not a third party franchise. I like that it doesn't bring any outside culture or baggage. It's self contained humor and storytelling.

Our Constitution and Bill of Rights is framed in terms of recognizing independent-existing natural inalienable rights. Citizenship is a complete red herring. The SC has been writing justifications for blatant infringement of natural rights for decades, even before the current neofascist takeover. Take the Bill of Rights as a list of test cases, run down them, and try to find one that is actually passing.

I’m also a bit surprised by this, but it really seems like there’s a growing need, maybe as a way to handle information overload or keep up with the ever-faster pace of learning and change.

When I started Typemill.net years ago, my focus was actually on ebook publishing. But over time, I noticed that a lot of small businesses were looking for lightweight tools for documentation, note-taking, and similar content. So, I naturally shifted to documentation and small knowledge bases.

For a long time, this space was pretty much dominated by big enterprise tools like Confluence on one side and Evernote on the other. But now, with tools like Obsidian, BookStack, Docmost, Outline, and others, there’s finally a broad range of modern solutions that fit different needs and sizes. I think that’s a great step forward...
Although Edgar Allan Poe is well known, I think his influence is under appreciated. He pretty much invented the detective story genre with "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" and his "Eureka: A Prose Poem" was early sci-fi that more or less invented the idea of the Big Bang.
From what I looked at in the past, they seem better on paper by comparing themselves to a very old version of Redis in a rigged scenario (no clustering or multithreading applied despite Drangonfly getting multithreading enabled), and they are a lot worse in terms of code updates. Maybe that's different today, but I'm more keen on using Valkey.
“We should regard the Internet Archive as one of the most valuable pieces of modern history; instead, many companies and entities make the chances of the Archive to survive, and accumulate what otherwise will be lost, harder and harder. I understand that the Archive headquarters are located in what used to be a church: well, there is no better way to think of it than as a sacred place.”

Amen. There is an active effort to create an Internet Archive based in Europe, just… in case.
If course it is. The whole thing is one big grift.

The Health and Human Services secretary is doing product placement ads, the president is selling cars on the white house lawn.

Where I live, in the US, the income from light rail fair payers is a laughably small portion of the operating budget, so all rides are effectively discounted by 90%+. The fares really only exist to keep homeless people from sheltering on the trains, but they do that anyway, without a ticket.

Somehow the prices are still high enough that it's cheaper to buy a cheap used car and drive it instead.
> we could move to a model where different providers compete to offer the best deployment solutions.

The Matrix project lead talked at FOSDEM about an issue with this model [0]: a pure market approach to this just doesn't offer any way to fund upstream development.

Luckily the public sector ought to be a an arena where we can solve this problem by being englightened consumers instead of just buying from the provider that provides the most service per dollar. But that enlightenment does require some education.

> ESP32 doesn't automatically reconnect to the stronger AP

How would it know to reconnect to stronger AP?

You can order it to do a background scan and reconnect to stronger AP if you want, but you have to figure out how often to do this and how to interleave other data during the scan.
How is this different from Langchain?
Was just reading about Churchill's alcoholism in a bio and looks like Poe was right there with him on that front. My favorite Poe visual is the The Masque of the Red Death. Probably wrote it blasted out of his mind.
$104k is 1.5x the average salary. That's cheaper than most of the rest of the world. Nursing homes require a low ratio of nurses to patients, and 24/7 coverage means that you need 5x as many nurses to maintain that ratio. Add cooks, cleaners, maintenance, management and all the other necessary staff and it's easy to see that a proper nursing home has more staff than residents.

Double staff costs to account for overhead and you see how $104k is not generous at all.

> "a female that is less aggressive will mate with males who can't succeed at mating with other females"

That premise is the fundamental point that your argument hinges on and I see no reason to just assume it would be true, and can create plenty of plausible arguments (that I think are fairly self evident) for why it would be untrue.
> on top of vanilla code

> without requiring an extra DSL

Give or take some nitpicking about where a language extension stops and a DSL begins, those things are the same. The only question is the syntax. The key thing the referenced paper shows is a set of composable operations (extremely nice property to have in a language).

There are other solutions. E.g., Polly [0] is capable of creating the 6-loop tiled square matrix multiplication routine from the vanilla 3-loop implementation. Much like auto-vectorization though, there are limits. E.g., if changing the scheduling also requires a change in your data representation -- like AoSoA rather than AoS or SoA to fit collocated data into a cache line -- you'll have to manually write the scheduling code as well since a vanilla loop no longer indexes the right things.

> The good times for the career software engineer - the kind that aces LeetCode, optimizes for career growth and collects the right buzzwords on their resume has indeed come to an end, but there's still plenty of good times to be had to if you are a career problem solver.

That's why I'm so happy to have a salaried job with lax office hours. For whatever reason, I'm also really productive before noon and after 6. The middle of the day is mostly a waste. At current job, I work when I'm most productive and more or less goof off the rest of the time. I'm one of the most (if not the most) productive members of the company so boss can't complain.

But also I can't tolerate WFH for more than a few days at a time. I need external structure to tell my brain that it's work time.
The monetary cost stings, but the calculus they are talking about really is about quality of life / expectancy. You are a relatively healthy 85 year old but you are still an octogenarian, you get a gnarly stroke.

A: Get resuscitated and get "lucky". You are completely dependent on 24/7 care draining little Timmy's college fund or worse putting your adult kids in to debt. If a family member takes cares of you personally you will mentally break them. Also you cannot do anything fulfilling ever again.

B: Get resuscitated, die after 3 weeks with broken ribs. Yay morphine.

C: Get resuscitated and "just" get a little brain damage, maybe you become asshole or forget someone. Also, broken ribs and will probably happen again.

D: Quit while you are ahead.

> My most senior engineer on the team never met a deadline in his life.

I went over this sentence a few times before it started making sense. Noting this for others who run into it.

What's meant is that the most senior engineer fails to complete tasks on time, as opposed to never having to deal with deadlines (cf. "I never met a problem I couldn't solve").
The Hill still puts some honest effort into hosting competing viewpoints, which is vanishingly rare for legacy media, these days.

So your bar for success is having a perceptual monopoly on the whole world? Or just the digital world?

You're jumping to mental gymnastic to not acknowledge that Google has consistently grown while being highly profitable. It's a massive success as a company.
Eval sets are not an appropriate tool for evaluating progress on security problems since the bar here is 100% correctness in the face of sustained targeted adversarial effort.

The EU has little benefits for the citizens of rich countries, expect for the dominant class, political and business, because they got more power in various different ways.

Outside of that, it is a net loss for your average person and in fact the current events show very well the lie of its usefulness.

Allegedly the EU is good because it gives its citizens a power comparable to the other big/rich countries like the US or China. But in fact, it is very weak on almost all fronts because it just built a dystopian bureaucratic system that only favored bureaucrat creation at the expense of everything else.

It has terrible defense/army, terrible industry, terrible commercial balance in general, terrible innovation (the main reason of no tech stuff there) and more I can't think about right now...

The only thing it has done "successfully" is legislate the shit out of everything, at great cost for everyone. And it didn't even allow to meet the idealistic goals (like the greenwashing and Germany's moronic "leadership" on that).

The trade war ongoing highlight the inadequacy of the EU and the reality is that their arsenal for retaliation is rather thin, without hurting their own population that is.
They are still the benchmark against which all LLM progress and pricing is compared.

Yes, although the fact that the male has evolved this venomous defense seems to indicate that benefit of maintaining diversity in the gene pool (maybe good genes even, if he had to compete to mate) might outweigh the benefit of being a quick snack for a post-coital hungry female.

> because Colorado (or more likely, a large donation by those 7.4 trillion dollars) decided that an opt-out cannot be the default.

A setting left at the default value does not indicate that a person has taken action to express a preference.

It's not a bad thing, or proof of bribery or regulatory capture or whatever, if some jurisdictions decide to formally recognize this reality.

> 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.

From what I recall, Google was trying to grant themselves a unique privileged position where Google and Google alone would be able to track individuals across sites.
> both ways

> I save and live below my means

> I live a lavish lifestyle

This is a clear false dichotomy. You’re saying this as if everyone is able to find work that can actually pay the bills and provide a savings.

I’ll suggest a third “way”: 25 yo with medical problems working a full-time job, living with their 30 yo partner who is working a full-time job. 25 yo has medical issues with weak insurance coverage and their partner helps with expenses; they struggle to make rent every month (two thirds of the rent for their apartment because they live with a third person).

I’ll leave it as an exercise for the reader to determine which side of the proposed false dichotomy these people land on.
And from a "defensive" perspective, if you don't trust any single entropy source, the paranoid solution is to combine multiple sources together rather than to switch to another source.

If it were me, I'd combine urandom (or equivalent), high-res timestamps, and clock jitter (sample the LSB of a fast clock at "fixed" intervals where the interval is a few orders of magnitude slower than the clock resolution), and hash them all together.
Yeah - this was arguably mostly my fault (sorry!).

There's quite a bit of history here, but the abbreviated version is that the dialog element was originally added as a replacement for window.alert(), and there were a libraries polyfilling dialog and being surprisingly widely used.

The mechanism which dialog was originally positioned was relatively complex, and slightly hacky (magic values for the insets).

Changing the behaviour basically meant that we had to add "overflow:auto", and some form of "max-height"/"max-width" to ensure that the content within the dialog was actually reachable.

The better solution to this was to add "max-height:stretch", "max-width:stretch".
You can see the discussion for this here:
https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/5936#discussion_r5136422...

The problem is that no browser had (and still has) shipped the "stretch" keyword. (Blink likely will "soon" - https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/SiZ2n... )

However this was pushed back against as this had to go in a specification - and nobody implemented it ("-webit-fill-available" would have been an acceptable substitute in Blink but other browsers didn't have this working the same yet).

Hence the calc() variant. (Primarily because of "box-sizing:content-box" being the default, and pre-existing border/padding styles on dialog that we didn't want to touch).

One thing to keep in mind is that any changes that changes web behaviour is under some time pressure. If you leave something too long, sites will start relying on the previous behaviour - so it would have been arguably worse not to have done anything.

It may still be possible to change to the stretch variant, however likely some sites are relying on the extra "space" around dialogs now, and would be mad if we changed it again. This might still be a net-positive however given how much this confuses web-developers (future looking cost), vs. the pain (cost) of breaking existing sites.

Sorry!

Young scientists' career pathways vanish as schools adapt to federal funds cuts
I think Europe is hopeless. It’s an old continent full of old people who have a deeply vested interest in maintaining the status quo. What Europe needs is a revolution of the young, but demographically that is impossible to happen. The old are willing to sell the young cheap if it means their pensions get increased by 0.1%. That is the source of all the problems in the continent, everything stems from that. From out of control immigration to skyrocketing rent prices.

Choosing the lesser evil doesn’t cut it. You are still choosing and being complicit with evil. Siding with evil is Wrong. Relativism is a disease. Evil is evil.
Before this event, I've has another encounter with GitHub.
What happened is that an AI coding assistance startup seemed to have created bots that would:

1. find new GitHub issues on random repos

2. fork the repo

3. make a commit, trying to implement whatever was requested in the issue

4. reply to the issue with a link to the commit, indemnifying themselves of the code quality (which was very poor), and linking to their platform

I reported a few of those issues to GitHub. To me, the problem seemed almost obvious:

1. they were using sketchy GitHub usernames

2. there was evidence of similar replies having been mass-deleted in the past

3. some of the issues also seemed to have been opened by sketchy users

GitHub took a few days to reply and didn't seem to understand how bad the situation was, and basically allowed them to continue. I don't expect to have to spend a lot of time writing an elaborate "criminal case" to convince GitHub that they are allowing their platform to be abused by these bots.

Not only that, but if the company once had these things, and then took them away, it might be the wake-up call that snaps an otherwise satisfied employee out of his complacency and cause him to start looking around where the grass might be greener.

I agree that this is a well-written and well-researched work. I root for the optimist's take above.

I agree with the article's take on Trump's obliviousness. I think it is an interesting question you raise about the oligarchs' power without Trump.

The fundamental problem with this philosophy is its dependence upon supply-side economics - a methodology that is hopelessly flawed. The will of the consumer can only be suppressed so far -- how long can Musk service his loans when demand for Tesla dries up?

The people who must consume to keep the system going will have a say.
Loving this list. One thing I would totally recommend though is to look at tools like DBT, as this supports a lot of these patterns out of the box (snapshots, materialized views, seeds for 'system tables' etc.). It also addresses the concerns with views and schema management.

> nothing more than pathological liars

Maybe. But I think there's something deeper going on. The flat-earthers-are-nothing-more-than-pathological-liars hypothesis fails to explain why they cling to this particular lie with such vehemence.

I don't mean to get political here, but Donald Trump is a pathological liar. He lies about everything, and he flits effortlessly from lie to lie. He never even offers the pretense of an argument or a justification. He simply proclaims that, say, they're eating the dogs because he read it on the Internet. The flearthers by way of very stark contrast have a laser-focus on this one lie, and they put a lot of effort into coming up with plausible-sounding justifications for it.

Yes, it is true that it is clear that at the end of the day the flearthers don't actually believe their own rhetoric. But it is still, to me, a phenomenon distinct from pathological lying, and which survives despite being so violently at odds with observation. I find that fascinating.
