Raising kids well is extremely rewarding. Plus its very hard. But those rewards, you can't find them anywhere else. That happiness and fulfillment, dare I say, neither.

I've tried it before having kids - had total blast in European Alps - climbing, alpinism, ski touring, skiing, via ferratas, paragliding, but also ie diving in exotic remote places half around the world. ~5 bigger vacations per year. Traveled all continents except Antarctica backapcking style, ie 6 months in India and Nepal. Life-changing experiences, truly, but that backpacking part was the key to its intensity.

I've met folks who had way more intense lives than mine, since I was still working 100% and did all this during weekends, vacations and after work (or in-between work for long trips). Mostly they were some form of mountain guides who traveled world off-season. But even those folks, when they see me now with what seems like well raised kids so far, damn are they envious. I mean life that you hardly see on some 'influencer' instagram, those folks have no reason to brag about it publicly to compensate for something bad or trying to milk users for money. And most of them ends up in parenthood anyway for better or worse.

All those experiences means very little to nothing compared to experiencing my kids and see them growing up. Yes the hard parts are very hard and you question yourself and your whole life, but the amazing parts... mere words can't describe them. They give life to one's meaning that nothing else does, not even close. There is nobility to take hits for closest ones you love, to endure hardships, it builds and keeps character strong. Overcoming all properly hard challenges does that, do it for 2+ decades and it shows.

I am not claiming everybody should have kids, far from it, maybe not even half of population IMHO (I know, not sustainable, but we have overpopulation now so thats an afterthought). Plenty of broken people around, either inherited mental issues or ones acquired during childhood or even adulthood via traumas or drugs. Some could raise kids somehow but most are bad parents and then it propagates further down the line.

I was always taught that it stood for "constant", which is what the speed of light is in every frame of reference and I've never stopped to question it because it made sense. But it seems that usage actually predates Einstein according to the above article. It's interesting how a good story can be used to sell something that's not entirely true and I never stopped to question it.

Dataflow programming on an MCU in C++: tiny pubsub library for DSP and controls
Several months ago I was really struggling with a rather involved control problem that had to combine several very distinct strategies. My original OOP-based design worked up to a point, until it broke with the introduction of a new strategy that didn't fit into the OOP design I envisioned at the start. After much experimentation, I ended up with a fairly solid design that relies on message passing rather than conventional OOP interfaces to bind the elements of the control system together.

I am quite happy with the result so far, mostly because it did solve the problem I was struggling with, and at the same time it appears to be very simple to implement (a few hundred lines of unsophisticated C++) and to apply.

Today I decided to open source it hoping that others would be interested in using it. Feel free to give it a try and let me know what you think.
I wish they’d mention pricing - it’s hard to seriously benchmark models when you have no idea what putting it in production would actually cost.

Just from the online brochure on the Yamaha website, we learn that the PSR E473 has "quick samping":

"Capture sound from outside of your instrument using the AUX input, microphone input or even by importing files from a USB storage device, and then play those sounds directly from your keyboard. The possibilities are endless!"

From https://worksinprogress.co/issue/how-madrid-built-its-metro-... contrast Madrid's train stations, copy and pasted as much as possible, vs London's, where each has its own interesting and complex architecture. The article claims simple, consistent Madrid stations were easier to build. Idk if it's true or not, but it's an appealing argument that architects are interested in architectural uniqueness and complexity which adds costs.

Similarly, the data viz architect sort of assumes more complex visualizations would be helpful if the public wasn't so phone addicted and inattentive: "some data stories are just too complex and nuanced to be aggregated in bar charts and line charts. Surely, they’d be curious about more complex visualizations" ...well where's the discussion of if visualization complexity is actually good for data stories? If everyone knows how to read a bar chart and a line graph, that's a point in favor of standard copy and paste visualization.

The one case where imo fancy visualizations actually help is maps. Not only is the example of facebook friendships in 2010 cool, a world map really is the best way to show where people/connections are (ofc maybe it's just a heatmap ie https://xkcd.com/1138/ idk if they divided by how many people live there but still cool). So there are probably lots of stories a map visualization helps tell by showing where stuff is.

But yeah in general I felt like the article spoke to data viz only as art to wow data connoisseurs. There was no defense of why complex stories getting a new data format each time conveys information better than standard bar chart/line graph.
> 20 year old cables?

I just bought a new house and the previous owner had phone lines everywhere (bedrooms, kitchen, office, rec room - honestly kind of weird). The house was built in 2002 and I gather that it was common at that time to put in Cat5e and just not use all the pairs.

So all it took was a pleasant afternoon with the circuit toner, a new patch panel, and a few keystone jacks, and now the house is networked beautifully. Sure, they're not in exactly the places I'd have dropped 'em if I'd been starting from scratch, but it's hard to beat cables already in the wall for zero effort!
This sounds pragmatic, but are you writing C++ executables that when run create the generated code? Are there templating libraries involved?

I noticed this too, I have used both o1 and o3 mini extensively, and I have ran many tests on my own problems and o1 solves one of my hardest prompts quite reliably but o3 is very inconsistent. So from my anecdotal experience o1 is a superior model in terms of capability.

The fact they would exclude it from their benchmarks seems biased/desperate and makes me trust them less. They probably thought it was clever to leave o1 out, something like "o3 is the newest model lets just compare against that", but I think for anyone paying attention that decision will backfire.

For a greylisting that sends 451 before DATA, that is indeed a known problem.

My server sends 451 after DATA, and keeps a copy of greylisted message, as marked-as-read entry in separate folder. Those are deleted after few hours, or moved out after a successful delivery retry.

The trick is to use your SSH config to intercept SSH connections so the got to a local SSH server, this triggers ProxyCommand and let's you create the cert and then forward those packets into an outgoing SSH connection you don't intercept.

It's batshit insane and truly without equal. One of the best things I've ever read.
CMake makes this pretty painless. My codegen targets have only two additional instructions to handle the generation itself and dependencies: add_custom_command to call the codegen exec, and then add_custom_target to wrap my outputs in a "virtual" target I can then make the rest of my program depend on, but this is just for tidying up.

And I'll dispute the fact that any complex C prepro task "can be immediately understood by anyone reasonably skilled in the language". Besides, code should ideally be understood by "anyone reasonably likely to look at this code to work in it", not "reasonably skilled".

The nice thing about living on the beach is that it's socially acceptable to be barefoot at all times since you're walking on dirt roads or sand.

The only time I put them on is when I go into the supermart or airport.

Your soles thicken up so much that you forget how puny they are normally. So I'll accidentally lead friends through some stretch of area and they can't follow because of the hot sand or sharp sea shells, and the discomfort is very mild for me.

It's kinda sad going from that back to the city where your feet never touch the ground.
> with Gemini 2.5, we've achieved a new level of performance by combining a significantly enhanced base model with improved post-training. Going forward, we’re building these thinking capabilities directly into all of our models, so they can handle more complex problems and support even more capable, context-aware agents.

Been playing around with it and it feels intelligent and up to date. Plus is connected to the internet. A reasoning model by default when it needs to.

I hope they enable support for the recently released canvas mode for this model soon it will be a good match.

Things have gone in the direction of being favorable for spammers.

* WHOIS is effectively destroyed.

* Companies like Cloudflare actively protect known spammers & scammers, and have made abuse reporting time consuming and error prone.

* Consolidation of most email to several large players means filtering them causes problems.

* Large delivery companies such as Sendgrid, Salesforce and Google basically do nothing about reported abuse.

Yes, most spammers these days that set up their own domains have tools to make sure DKIM, SPF and DMARC are all good, but consider that we can't know anything about these spammers: TLS certificates no longer contain contact information, large providers don't provide useful WHOIS, don't forward abuse complaints, have no clue what an SOA record is, and so on.

The way things should work is that we get a spam, we see the network from which the spam came through WHOIS, we forward the spam to their abuse address or the address they list in WHOIS, and we're done.

The way things work is that they don't have working information in WHOIS, they ignore the abuse complaints, they act like they don't know what to do with it, or they reply with a form email saying to go and use a web page where it takes time and work to paste in each part of a spam.

I blame the large companies who do this. Make reporting abuse difficult and you'll get much less reported abuse.
sad to see this sort of research get slowly defunded / privatized
I can't believe this actually has a name (is this an attempt to make fetch happen?) and it's not considered an anti-pattern. This sort of preprocessor/code mixing is impossible to debug and maintain; most senior C++ programmers have advised people to avoid doing this since the 1990's.

There is a role for the preprocessor to automate simple tables in C and such, but anything complex should be avoided like the plague if you don't like tech debt. And there's not much excuse for using it in C++ to this extent.

No, the SSH server only learns your public key and a signature specific to the SSH server generated in the SSH handshake. A malicious server would need your private key to successfully authenticate to another SSH server.

> Point being: SCIFs are the right tool for the job. Smartphone apps like Signal are not.

The job in this case seems to be secure, ad-hoc communication between multiple parties while on the road (the VP at least was doing an event in Michigan). Clearly a public smartphone app isn't the right tool for the job. Is a SCIF the right tool though? I always thought of SCIFs as purpose-built rooms. It seems impractical that every time a message needs to be communicated, the parties have to be whisked away to a SCIF.
He's specifically addressing people who have the same goals as him but aren't seeing progress for the reasons he's listed. Nothing in the article suggests that he sees other goals as less valid, and it seems like you're being uncharitable because he reads as a "bro" to you ("swollen muscles").
Haha yeah, I am used to the skepticism.. I've thought about this a lot. There are so many things I've confirmed that aren't in photographs or stories I've been told that it seems to be real.

I also have aphantasia, I have wondered if my lack of visualization has somehow empowered my long-term memory. I rely on memory for "visualizing" things.
They are the lowest power way to connect SFP. And they are cheap.

Though I'm not sure I would pull them as they tend to max out at around 6-7 meters. I use them to connect systems within the same rack/room.
Point taken, though I'd like to charitably think Americans are 'lazy' the way Haskell is lazy or Japanese Kanban or Jidoka is lazy. As MisterTea points out, the VCs invest in metrics, management pushes on metrics, and productive engineers deliver metrics at the cost of bugs and tech debt. Then we engineers wait for bug reports to percolate down, and we respond only as needed. On Sundays we repent by writing elegant high-quality code that nobody uses. We feel deeply that something is wrong.
Part 1 of this post https://www.shirleywu.studio/notebook/2025-02-client-comfort... probably speaks more to why it's good to do visualizations more creative than people are used to. I still get the sense of the architect who has more interest in complexity than the client (who's both uninterested and disinterested) though.
this is a pointless argument as close to all US mega cops have been quasi subventioned until they became monopolies, not sure how you expect a proper competition there (specifically subventioned by a few very wealthy entities, not the state).

in addition many of them did end up where they are by taking advantage of a major technological change, while being quasi subventioned, while being in a huge country which has until recently exported it's culture and tech, while systematically breaking all kinds of (non employee protection related) laws and regulations (including US laws/regulations, through seldomly with consequences in the US)

there is little which indicates that mistreating your employees was overly relevant for them to get where they are in most cases

actually it's even the opposite to some degree, multiple of the US mega corps have been known to be quite good employers (e.g. MS, Google). Microsoft was also one of the first huge companies which tried out a 32h week in some of their offices (and the results of that study indicated that it was leading to improvements).

and in general I think most people have no issues with highly payed highly skilled people "working hard like crazy" if

- it's well payed (i.e. you work "crazily hard" a few years and then can lay back for years after

- it's fully free of your choice to end up there

- you are also fully free to leave if you realize it's hitting your health to hard

Like company founders working "crazily hard" at the start of their journey is as normal in the EU as it's in the US. And paying people which work "crazily hard" extra, often in form of annual Bonus payments, is also in some markets not that uncommon in the EU. Also jobs which people very often don't do for more then a few years, because it's just not healthy.

But what Musk is pursing is so far beyond that on the unhealthy spectrum.

And a more normal employees has to be able to work their job without larger gap for like what 50 years at least. That just isn't compatible with "working crazily hard".

But Musk is just an extreme example of what you see in in general more in the US:

Indirectly force people to work harder then long term substainable and when it start causing chronic issues take "medicine" to fix it.

And then be surprised if your country has pain killer/drug addiction epidemic which doesn't just affect the people which did fall through society but like all levels of society.

And wrt. internal stability, have you looked at the US recently!? It's more unstable then it ever has been since the civil war.
> my husband Tyler and I wanted that sense of community that feels like it’s only possible in the suburbs, but we believed we could achieve this while living in San Francisco.

This genuinely threw me because in my experience the suburbs are the antithesis of this, just lots of people occupying neighboring space and rarely talking to each other.

Still, a heartwarming story all the same. And yes, this is _exactly_ what city living should enable.
Disagree on the “algorithm” bit but that’s ok.

“Random” is an algorithm. It just says that the next article you should read has no relationship with anything you’ve read before. That is a point of view. It’s good for an “explore” phase, where you want to expose yourself to as much variety as possible.

But eventually most people want to “exploit” their impressions from before. Just like I don’t want to always roll the dice on restaurants, sometimes I want to go back to one that I know is good.
