I have that in C++: we wrote our own in house package manager. Painless for any package that has passed our review, but since it is our manager we have enforced rules that you need to pass before you can get a new package in thus ensuring it is hard to use something that hasn't been through review.

I'm looking at rust, and that it doesn't work well with our package manager (and our rules for review) is one of the big negatives!

Note, if you want to do the above just use Conan. We wrote our package manager before Conan existed, and it isn't worth replacing, but it isn't worth maintaining our own. What is important is that you can enforce your review rules in the package manager not what the package manager is.
I wouldn't take anything away, just less time on the digital world. I'm surprised that you don't think spending a lot of time on a computer isn't healthy.
Yeah, this is a great workflow! What's more, agents are particularly good at writing tests, since they're simpler and mostly linear, so they can even help with that part.

As to your point of automating retries, with my last prototype I played a lot with having agents do multiple parallel implementations, and then pick the first one that works, or lets you choose (or even have another agent choose).

Have you tried any tools that have this workflow down, or at least approach it?
Carney just needs to leverage the fuck out of that contract instead of tearing it up outright. The defense lobby will always have the ear of the GOP.

What apps? I think only android auto requires it. All the rest works just fine with occasional glitches.
Of course that most probably greatly depends of what kind of apps you are using but usually microG is just enough.
Roughly the same reason as every time someone asks the same question in any post that mentions WASM: Java is a particular model with a particular view of the world, tied to a GC and a particular standard library and various hard limitations such as no user-defined value types that make it impossible to compile C code to properly and run it with reasonably C-like speed. Just because Java has incorporated dozens of 'advances' doesn't mean any of them address its longstanding problems, and you're mixing implementation tech with spec design in your reasoning. You, in your daily life, likely use zero software incorporating Java and multiple pieces of software incorporating WASM. You cannot imagine using Java for shaping functions embedded in font files, or sandboxed 'native' modules in a JS-based text editor, or blockchain smart contracts. In fact Java basically cannot be reliably sandboxed at all.
I grew up in a Austrian province governed by a neo-nazi connected right wing party, when I say voting against their interest who I mean are those who aren't ardent Nazis.

Sure, there might be actual Nazis who would like to lose everything if it just allowed them to force their beliefs on others as was historically the case. But most people who vote for right wingers do so because they believe they will have tangible benefits.

But if your premise is false, your conclusion is also false.
If I understand correctly, it sounds a bit like Valve and SteamOS. They publish the source, but they optimize for their internal developers and tools, not for easy source access by anonymous members of the public. Valve has been publishing its source as tarballs, not git commits (hence, projects like Jovian and Evlav reconstructing it in GitHub).
Yes, that is a problem. Publishers should seed the torrents and publish their hashes, thus vouching for the authenticity of the documents therein. But even if they don't, it only takes one trustworthy researcher passing the Captchas to add an open-access document to a legal archive which provides periodic torrents.

To be clear, neither Zenodo nor arXiv rejects non-open-access papers, so you cannot simply provide a torrent of arXiv papers, legally.

Yes please. The reason I wanted to informally reach out by LinkedIn is that I'm more interested in a chat to see if my skills align and if there's potential, even for short-term work - what you guys are doing sounds cool and I've played around with some of it in the past (thus the Buildroot suggestion - that was my approach to a similar requirement).

If you're right, then we should not use AI in elementary and high schools as a learning tool. I suspect most people think we should.
The creators came from Bell Labs and are known to be pragmatic where needed as well as deeply think about a problem and how to solve it correctly. Languages are foundational so getting things right the first time is critical to building a stable ecosystem. Honestly, I am glad they pushed back against the constant demands and gave themselves time to think about the problem.
> it also makes it easier for people to coast, and turn in half assed work, which is certainly a pathway to the decline of knowledge work

I understand your sentiment and I partially agree with it. But this kind of phrasing implies that "doing the bare minimum" (to put it in another way) is a strictly bad thing.

Sure, its easy to condemn someone "half-assing" a job by labeling him as lazy or something like that. But the reality is that most of the time we don't need the best nor we are willing to pay properly for this effort.

Imagine your baker, for example. Do you really need 100% of his effort and care to be put into every single bread he makes? For me this answer is "no". All I care is that he comply with all regulations and that his bread tastes good, I don't really mind if it's not best bread in the world. And even if it was the best I probably would find it too expensive to buy in a daily basis.

Another example would be blacksmiths, at some point they we our only option to make something out of metal, and they would put quite a lot of care and attention to every piece they made. But at some we created some machines that can create things out of metal. These machines, at first, weren't really good and the products they made were of inferior quality. But they had enough quality to be useful, were cheaper and were able to produce immense quantities of goods.

What I'm trying to say is that sometimes the "low effort" option is the correct choice. And I don't think this means the decline of knowledge work, this just means we will see a change in what is considered "relevant skills" for knowledge work.
JSON has a clearly-defined standards: ISO/IEC 21778:2017, IETF RFC 7159, and ECMA-404. Additionally, Crockford has had a spec available on json.org since it's creation in 2001.

Do you have any examples of Python, Java, or any of the other Tiobe top 40 languages breaking the JSON spec in their standard library?

In contrast, for the few of those that have CSV libraries, how many of those libraries will simply fail to parse a large number of the .csv variations out there?
ack, I also have this problem :)

I am working on some world-building for something I want to write one day, but I am trying just to write little things to help. I write a lot of nonfiction stuff for work, but I am worried that it might not translate as well to characters...
Le Laboureur work shirts can be under $150 at some stores. They are a different style though and have been difficult to find in stock online.

I only recently ordered some so have no direct experience. The durability of the fabric and quality of construction are substantial from everything I've read.
In roughly the last 2 weeks, yes. It helped that everyone involved also activated their network, so we got a multiplicative effect. Can't speak to funding for now unfortunately.
Any reasonable company already knows this and sets up a proxy repo of scanned/approved versions (this is important for licensing too).

Unfortunately the F35 thing is similar to many other things that are unfortunate about this relationship.

We'd be a fool to buy them, but we will be absolutely punished if we don't. Last time this was under question Bombardier -- one of our largest companies, and employers -- started to "suddenly" lose contracts in the US and the Canadian gov't backpedaled (for other reasons as well) and went ahead with the F35. They're worried that will happen again

That and so much money and time have already been invested on this, and the alternatives are not super compelling.
That might be so, and it's okay to kindly tell them that, but to me it seems the community is pretty abusive regarding the researchers sometimes. (Well, and ... in general, Scala drama was not unheard of over the years, powerful languages tend to attract people with their powerful vision. And of course said researchers' people skills tend to show some room for improvement from time to time.)

Anyway, squeezing water from stone might be easier than persuading certain folks :)

So let me get this straight. As per your link, the weighted tariff rate is 0.98% in 2015. That is tiny. The average tariff rate with the European Union is about five times that. And again, this is before the updated USMCA deal that the US agreed to.

Please explain to me why a 0.98% average effective tariff rate justifies retribution in the form of 25% to 50% tariffs.

Please also explain why it's justifiable, again, for a 0.98% effective tariff rate, to threaten to economically destroy a country and force it to be annexed. To be clear, even with massive economic damage to Canada, we will not be willingly annexed, ever. If you want our country, you must invade. That is ultimately what the annexation threat is. It is a threat of invasion.
Relying on TSO is not a bug if your target platform is just amd64.
I know this is just two anecdotes, but:

I flew into the US two weeks ago and the immigration queue was a) short and b) the officers were super-friendly, I did my Global Entry interview on arrival, was basically a quickly friendly chat plus a photo and fingerprints. Way better than it was a year ago the last time I entered the USA.

My wife flew into the US earlier today and the immigration process "took seconds" (her words).

I understand that people have concerns about the "new management" but - as always - don't believe everything you read in the media.
> WWII

So fighting the Nazis was a favor and not a moral obligation? A war they didn't enter until Nazi-aligned Japan attacked?

> WWI

I believe the US didn't enter until the sinking of the Lusitania.

> Afghanistan

Isn't that a Canadian favor to the US?

> the 2008 financial crisis

Precipitated by American deregulation and excess? What a gift!

I'm not saying the US is entirely bad, but let's not confuse small kindnesses with friendship. The lack of backlash to Trump's comments I think speaks volumes to the condescension that lurked for years. Even the "loving" comments about being America's hat. Or jokes and charicatures about Canadians that would be consider racist about anyone else.

No, America was never Canada's friend. Sometimes an agreeable coworker.
Not with those popularity figures, there aren't.

Reality is there are zero pro-Trump rallies, and plenty of very angry former Trump voters making their rage felt at Town Halls.

This will only get worse over time as cuts to essential services start to bite hard.

I've said all along I think the MAGA cult thing is going to blow up in the faces of the people making this happen.
A few possibilities.

It may be that your question is fundamentally not based in fact. You ask "why aren't they doing X", as though it were certain that they were not doing X. This may not be the case. Airlines may indeed have adjusted their scheduling.

It may simply be that not enough time has passed for the shift to affect scheduling.

It may be that airlines view the current state of affairs as temporary. Airport gate spots are difficult to come by, and one airline cutting flights grants those gate slots to a competitor, so they may think it's more profitable in the long run to take the short term hit until the international situation changes via election, impeachment, natural causes, or conquest.
That last paragraph is me. Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I discovered the ceiling fan was a powerful knob. While "storing" heat (early daytime, colder in than out) it helped to keep the air as still as possible to extend the battery. As the heat starts to get uncomfortable at ~1pm, ramped up the ceiling fan. Later after the air-cooling switchover at ~5pm (cooler out than in), switched the ceiling fan to blow up at the gable ceiling. The surface airflow greatly reduced the radiant "chicken broiler" effect. Overnight the operation wasn't as critical, but switching direction every couple hours would best chill all available mass. YMMV

Running AC for a couple hours in the morning is good to remove humidity from night cooling. The morning air is relatively cool, so AC is still quite efficient. A small application of (and modification on top of) night-swing cooling, but critical to efficiently maintain humidity.

On extreme days it could even help to mist water on the roof. In theory this can be automated with an oscillating sprinkler and a valve. Even just a valve indoors turned manually could make a great benchtop experimental setup. The aim is for the water to instantly evaporate and not soak the roof, perhaps 30 seconds (one "swipe") every 15 minutes or so. It's almost like a "force field" barrier keeping the heat out, but once the battery is drained it doesn't help much.

Eagerly watching NightHawkInLight's PCM project[1] with interest too. Personal cooling seems like the ultimate sustainability frontier. Japan was a big innovator after the Fukishima shortage, with fan-jackets worn in hot offices.[2] Fans work until dew point = body temperature, but above that it seems (for now) phase change wins over a battery-powered compressor.

Maybe something to chew on among all that. Sorry it got long. Cheers

> Lidden ordered the [plutonium] from a US-based science website and they were delivered to his parents' home.

So private ownership of plutonium is legal in the US, or is that site about to get shut down?
That seems an uncharitable read of the GP. I too assumed from the headline that by using the verb launch, it was referring to an indigenous vehicle.

No, most "geo" applications depend on Google services and will crash without them. Local authority transit apps, etc.
We live near the border and (before COVID) had Canadian friends we would visit regularly, and they us. It's heartbreaking to think we might never get to see them again.
That's kind of a bummer, but still neat to have built-in self-hosting. I think I've seen videos of perfboard computers that allow manual data entry with pushbuttons and manual clocks. I could see that being extended to punch cards. (Not trying to be flippant; I think that could be an interesting extension to this sort of project. Have a bucket of parts, a perfboard, and some paper? Let's flash an operating system.)

I believe the argument is that Congress is not constitutionally allowed to delegate determination of the amount of that tax because the first words in the US Constitution are "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States" and specifying the amount of that tax is clearly "legislation"? The executive branch is granted little or no legislative power.

From a practical standpoint at least some voters know who their US Senators and US Representative are and a few of those will actually look up how they voted on a tax hike or cut and include that information into their decision making process on who to vote for every two to six years. Very few voters know who the unelected bureaucrats in administrative agencies are, those bureaucrats change without the direct consent of voters, and they never stand for election.

The linked article says "Liberal and conservative justices alike said they were concerned about the potentially devastating consequences of eliminating the fund that has benefited tens of millions of Americans". It's fine that the court is "concerned" about this, however it is not something the court should consider in the slightest in their decision this case - those are the effects of policy decisions which should be left to elected legislators in a properly functioning democracy. If the court finds in favor of the plaintiffs, Congress is free to go do their job and pass legislation that specifies the amount of the tax just as they do with Federal income tax (showing they have the _ability_ to do so).
Which is bad since all the forks will be behind at least few weeks, months maybe.

And think about all the merge conflicts you have to resolve after 3 months of code changes.
Hardly anyone is protesting in the streets about it. There are protests, but they are a minuscule percentage of the population. Not protesting is basically supporting, just like not voting is basically supporting whoever wins.
I'm trying to understand your point but failing. Where does 24% come from? People understand exchange rates.
Did you skip over half my comment? I said that it probably wasn't permissable under the tourist visa (it depends entirely on what the au pair relationship was).

The issue was never the deportation, it was her treatment during this process. (And the grandparents miss characterization of her motivations)

To address your final remark: The idea of au pair was to grow as a person during their formative years, it's something upper middle class teenagers/young adults did, which is also why theyre usually not a illegal immigration risk, because they've already got plenty of privileges at home. You seem to think it's something people did go move up in the world, which this never was - at least I've never met anyone doing it with the desire to get a good job. They all just wanted to meet people, experience life and broaden their horizon.

Or stated less charitably: they wanted to escape their parents home but didn't yet know what they wanted to do with their lives. That's not really a problem people trying to move up in the world have.

But there is a reason why au pair isn't really done anymore, and it's partly because a lot of hosts saw the guests as cheap labor, which is why you need a work visa nowadays.
> That article seems to miss the point by being incurious about _why_ there is hype around MCP instead of LangChain, LangGrah, SmolAgents, LlamaIndex, etc.

The VCs that were invested in AI companies (like Cursor) would of course need to hype something up like MCPs to get us to build them as little of those tools did not exist.

Cursor already makes $100M+. So why not get behind and integrate this chosen standard to make even more money with more MCP servers.

The last ingredient is to hype it all up on the internet to get everyone building.

A win for the VCs regardless even though it was suspiciously orchestrated as soon as Cursor integrated it.
Despite the confusing copy here and on the landing page, the tool appears to be a commit message linter not a generator. Which seems useful. In fact, I was thinking of building something like that for internal use. Thank you for sharing.
Commodification denies a universal pedagogy. We've known this since the 1970s.

If you want a system that appeals to a plurality, and leaves the rest behind, commodification will deliver just that.
The populace making poor decisions isn't just economically illiterate, they are increasingly fundamentally illiterate. Teaching economic literacy in school won't matter one bit when an increasing number of people are graduating unable to read even at a basic level.

But in order to solve this problem you would have to overhaul our educational system and right now we have a party invested in destroying it so that it produces voters more aligned with their groupthink.
Sharing France's nuclear umbrella? No way, says Le Pen
Given the history of the United States, and the stark political division, it's for less than nothing: The coarse they have set is one that is absolutely guaranteed to lead to civil war and dissolution. Any American that actually thought you had a pretty decent country in decades past needs to seriously consider acquiring firearms, and this isn't an exaggeration.

And really, the not-into-a-corrupt-idiocracy states -- one where lawless will-enslave-people-for-$ garbage like El Salvador and Russia are your besties -- should be openly talking about secession. The right likes to pretend it's unthinkable when the so-called "blue states" broach it, yapping some "indivisible!" line, but Texas has spent every Democrat government with in the open secession planning. Abbott was busy setting up Texas "consulates" of sorts, preparing to be their own little country. All because equal rights and healthcare offend them so. Now there's a grotesquely incompetent group of criminal grifters and clowns talking about abolishing federal courts, completely annihilating the constitution, and openly joking about invading literal allies. Mix in some advertising of their shitcoin crypto and getting rid of the gold stockpile for Bitcoin.

It's your time, blue states. What the hell are you waiting for?

This feels as hopeless as trying to keep your email/contacts from social media sites. Even if you are vigilant about never allowing an app/service to download your contacts, your friends will share theirs and it is trivial to recreate your contact list. If I keep my DNA from these companies, my relatives will share theirs and they basically have my DNA.

Now that we have AI tutors that cost <$1/Mtok, why not do on-demand standardized testing for academic credentials and eliminate compulsory (dejure or defacto) education beyond working age. Universities can focus on research, and normal people get off the credentialism treadmill or focus on as-needed training at minimal cost. Need the social environment? Libraries or community centers can lend vacant space for “college” classrooms.

Everyone wins, right? You know, except university administrators and lenders.
