> The issue was interest rates. Money was free in Feb 2022; the interest rate was literally 0%, and so any cash-generating investment at all is profitable. Fed started raising rates in Apr 2022, at which point leaders started freaking out because they know what higher rates mean, and by Jun 2022 the Fed was raising them in 0.75% increments, which was unheard of in modern economics. By Jan 2023 the rate was 4.5%, which meant that every investment that generates an internal rate of return between 0% and 4.5% is unprofitable.

"Unheard of in modern economics" is carrying quite a lot of weight there. The last time the rates were increased by 0.75% was 1994, and while that's not recent, it's pretty silly to imply that CEOs should be making long-term investments assuming that it would be literally unprecedented for that to happen. Interest rates have changed only a few dozen times _at all_ since then, so yes, they haven't been increased by that much recently, but there's never going to be enough of a sample size over a period of a couple decades that it would be reasonable to assume a precedent that will never be broken.

The crux of your argument seems to be that because the interest rates happen to be set a certain way at a certain time, it would be irrational not to make decisions based on how profitable they'd be at that exact moment in time. The problem with this line of thinking is that plenty of investments are only realized over long enough period of time that by your own admission, people can't possibly react fast enough to avoid those turning into a loss. My question is, why put yourself in a position where you can't adapt fast enough in the first place? The way interest rates are set should not be news to the people making these decisions in companies, so it's not crazy to expect that maybe the people who are betting their company's success on something from less than three decades before being "unprecedented in modern economics" could think at least _a little_ longer term than "literally anything is profitable in this exact moment, so there's no need to think about what might come next".
Conversely, let me only see sites where I can buy something. Too much of my life is consumed by trying to see if something can be bought and if so how much it costs.
rsc, rob pike, and bradfitz are three people I could talk to for hours, completely wasting their time, especially about Plan9.

That OS fascinates me.

I remember early in my career when an expert I worked with could sit with me and patiently show me how to do something and let me ask questions for however long it took me to understand well enough what to do and how to swim if I fell in the deep end of whatever they wanted me to do. It was some of the fastest upskilling that I have ever done in my career, like getting a bachelors degree worth of very specific knowledge in three hours.

I don’t know C and I don’t know enough about Plan 9 to use it productively for anything, but it has some extremely cool and useful features that I want to know more about and learn how to use, even if it is only so that I can lament the non-existence of those features in the big three operating systems today.

If I had the money I would probably pay to get face time with all three of those folks for expanding my Go knowledge and rsc and rob pike for the plan 9 understanding that I have always wanted, but have never been able to give myself.
Presumably to crank out multiple features at the same time. After spending some time writing project rules for Cursor I've gotten it to reliably implement end-to-end CRUD operations from a simple description of the fields and functionality. It's pretty neat and surprisingly accurate but it does take time to generate on the order of ~1k LOC so I understand the desire for parallelization. If you have a well-factored codebase with loose coupling, good abstractions, etc. this should be pretty doable without them stepping on each other.
Interesting observation.

I prefer things with low color contrast in general, just to leave some color space for important things. Maybe this preference stems from the time I tweak color themes in IDEs.

In contrast, I also found more and more photography pieces which show vibrant colors and high color contrasts.

I just checked mine and I have about 250k emails sitting in my personal laptop's mailbox, no issues there. It might be dependent on the provider - I know at work where we use Exchange I get occasional slowdowns but I'm not sure whether that's due to Mail.app, due to Exchange, due to our dear endpoint security software taking its sweet time checking whatever I'm doing, or any combination of these. I probably have a couple million emails in my work laptop's mailbox though. Often the "Rebuild Mailbox" function fixes any problems for me, at least for a while.

The iPhone one regularly just doesn't search properly for me though. I'll search for the exact subject or contents of a message and just won't be able to find it, then when I go to my laptop and type in the exact same terms it finds it instantly.

Is that true? I cloned the 2015 release of plan 9 a week or so ago and it had around a million lines of C. Can a single person hold all of that? I sure as hell can’t.
There is an enormous and visible difference between “not getting a visa” and “getting a visa, relying on it, moving to a new country, and being told that the legal system of the new country has turned to slime and your visa may or may not still be valid”. I’d be interested in hearing about when other countries have done that, if you know of any.

It doesn’t have to be 17 years old though. I think the point he’s making is that it’s still solving problems for him. I have one that’s 12 years old. It just does what I need to. Parts are easily replaceable. I keep doing the cost/benefit of upgrading but I just don’t need it.
I've found in my career so far estimates are very useless but "key dates" can be very useful.

A key date could be an investor demo, marketing launch, actual physical launch if you are in hardware, etc, most importantly something with an audience outside of any of the core team. Find that important date and work backwards from it and find out what is important to finish by then.

This approach has defintiley saved me a lot of sanity compared to arbitrary "estimates" that are destined to be push forever until you run into one of these key dates.

He'll never admit he was wrong or step down. He'll drive Automattic into the ground and Wordpress along with it (until someone forks it, like say...WP Engine, heh. Or Redhat, or IBM, or some huge web design firm, etc.)

He considers Wordpress "his" even though...he took it over from the original author who was abandoning the project.

It reminds me of the rage-bender Jamie and Jim Thompson went on, attacking OPNsense for "stealing" their work and doing a lot of immature things taking over opnsense's domain, their subreddit, etc. via legal actions. And at least one lawsuit. They lost on every front - reddit gave the subreddit back to the opnsense developers, ICANN gave them back their domain name, etc.

Attacking OPNsense for "stealing" pfSense was pretty rich given pfSense's origin; netgate slapped their logo on m0n0wall and started working on their fork. Which is exactly what opnsense did that enraged them...

Especially as pfsense software started getting more user-hostile and shifting functionality into the paid versions, pfsense has rapidly become less and less popular. I almost never see anyone recommend it anymore.
Back when I was a wee lad, around 1993 or so I’d guess, my uncle’s work laptop had a trackball that plugged into a special port on the side of it. Even though laptops of the time weren’t particularly good for, well, using on your lap, it was an exceptionally nice way to be able to use a mouse in a limited amount of table space.

Edit: thank you Reddit! https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackballs/s/Lw3QQG9IY8
The article’s argument was that the company was able to migrate away from his code quickly, so his code didn’t matter.

That’s…an argument. I think most developers, myself included, find the idea of migration to be almost impossible in many cases. The author handwaved that away too easily.
> I don't think they should be able to do so for behavior that would be legally be protected in the jurisdiction a person is trying to enter

This is very much not the current practice. The DS-160 form asks you a bunch of questions about things that are not illegal in US, but will almost certainly result in denial of the visa. Not only that, it asks about your family members, and your answers can and will cause visa denial, even if your family members are not applying for a visa with you. This is good and proper: foreigners have no right to enter our country, and just because something is legal for US citizens doesn’t meant it’s desirable, or that we need to extend this right to noncitizens.

> I do not think the US should be able to deny visa applications for speech critical of the US government or Israel.

How about for being a fan of Hitler, glorifying Holocaust, and advocating for changes in US constitution to allow wholesale genocide of Jews and Muslims? None of this is illegal. You are saying that we should we not be able to keep this freak out of our country, right?

> Once a person is in the country I would absolutely want for a judicial fact finding exercise to determine whether a person has violated the terms of their admittance.

When you enter US through a port of entry, a random CBP employee is fully empowered to deny you entry if he decides you violate the terms of your visa, or some other entry denial reason applies. Importantly, you have no right to judicial review of this denial. You can make an administrative appeal, but you are not entitled in any way to have a judge hear your complaint. You are saying now that the second you get admitted into the country, the same process that was due to you before the entry is now insufficient to adjudicate your rights. I don’t buy it, and neither does the law.

> Furthermore, it is repugnant to think that visas can be revoked for nothing but constitutionally protected activities, such as writing opinion pieces for a newspaper.

Why? You can very much be denied the visa for constitutionally protected activities. Happens all the time, in fact. It would be ridiculous if we could deny entry people who glorify Holocaust, but couldn’t kick them out if we find out they do so only after we let them in. First amendment doesn’t prevent us from denying entry to foreigners based on their speech. This is settled law. If we can refuse their entry, I don’t see why it should prevent us from removing them too.
At the moment it looks like they are snatching people off the street, they're already rounding up people to deport, no "your visa has been cancelled, you have 30 days to leave" more people in masks snatching you off the street

What you're describing is the erosion of engineering and computer science in software development.

We've turned what can be an engineering discipline into code slinging. I'll say my opinion is more focused on web development ad that's been my focus for the last 8 or so years, but I don't think that's unique to web either.

I don't use LLMs to help with coding, for many reasons that likely aren't important to go into here. I ship more code than most of my colleagues and I end up chasing down fewer bugs and production regressions along the way.

I don't have any problem with devs using LLMs if it makes them more productive, though that depends entirely on how one defines productive. As you said today it generally means shipping more code and has almost nothing to do with quality, which I'm just not willing to waste my time chasing. I'll ship quality code that I understand, and its either valued by my employer or it isn't.
Yeah, but also the type of person who is going to use Plan 9 isn't going to want to write C++, of all languages.

Or if you have a criminal conviction of any kind that is many years old and was known on the application that got you the visa, like the German and Filipina residents. So the rules have changed - they are now saying that visas valid at the time of approval should never have been approved based on the circumstances at the time.
I wish that Framework could attain the same lofty levels of "second hand market success" that ThinkPads enjoy. A lot of the "Thinkpad fans" I've talked to genuinely want them, or respect them for similar reasons they enjoy the ThinkPad legacy.

ThinkPads are durable but every day they get older, slower and more difficult to source parts for as collectors entrench themselves and the requirements of operating systems (and the "modern web") worsen

Framework laptops are wonderful, modern and (arguably?) cheaper to own in the long-term thanks to being able to replace components, particularly the entire mainboard as time progresses.

*But* they're a tiny boutique manufacturer. Their barrier to entry is that of a pretty hefty modern laptop, versus buying a T420 for practically pennies and performing all kinds of aftermarket "mods" to it. 51nb's "FrankenPads" especially breathe incredible new life into old IBM and Lenovo stock.

Combine this with the fact that being the "defacto business laptop" for nearly three decades (along with perhaps Dell) means there's enough Thinkpads on Earth to probably stretch end-to-end around the moon and back
I don’t think your hypothetical is crazy at all. I learned this weekend that much of my close family, who were pretty normal conservatives just a couple of years ago, now believe that all legal and illegal immigrants have been let into the country by jws to eliminate the white race. And that’s not an exaggeration at all. Like I’m mincing words to make them look less bad.

My family is not the down and out, they never supported these things because they have financial stressors. If anything the economy of the last 20 years has been too good to them. They are relatively wealthy and have stable lives and good jobs. They listen to too many alt right podcasts and are too deep down the Facebook hole.

Two weeks ago I was relatively optimistic. Now I’m really scared, how do you cope with loved one’s who believe these things? We’re off to a really dark place.
> What happens if and when ICE starts rounding visa holders up to deport?

Read the news, it's already happening. One video I saw showed a woman (a PhD student in a legal visa) being surrounded by plainclothes officers with neck gaiters over their faces and they took her away in an unmarked car. Her family hired a lawyer who still hasn't contacted her though they claim she's in a specific facility in Mississippi. Her crime? Speaking out against Israel. If the first amendment is dead, hopefully the second can save us.

I'm sure the answer could be found in this repo somewhere but its above my head- does aoe2 DE rely mostly on p2p for multiplayer? I assume it does and the regional servers are just used for matchmaking, and all the actual game logic is running on the clients.

The system is actually quite resilient. What you are describing is a specific impact the system might have on someone's situation. That makes a specific situation non-resilient, not the system. Everyone in the whole world who is on a visa knows that is not the most resilient situation, by definition.

Also, it is well-settled that visa is a discretionary benefit. Green card is more nuanced, but still not a panacea. Some of the "scholars" that debate these things know full well what the case law is but they want to stir the pot in the media.
The convergence of generative AI and omnichannel strategies is redefining commerce, with 87% of enterprisesintegrating AI-driven workflows to optimize content production, demand forecasting, and customer engagement. This transformation transcends automation—it represents a systemic overhaul of marketing’s technical and creative foundations.

Three Pillars of AI-Driven Commerce
1. Hyper-Personalized Content Ecosystems
Netflix's regional content adaptation (e.g., Bollywood-style edits for India) demonstrates how AI decodes cultural semantics, driving 67% non-English content consumption growth. Similar frameworks now empower e-commerce platforms to auto-generate localized product visuals and multilingual SEO descriptions, with tools like PhotoG—the world's first AI marketing agent—enabling end-to-end campaign generation from a single product image.

2. Predictive Supply Chain Intelligence
Amazon's AI demand forecasting (3% error margin) enables suppliers to synchronize production with global trends. During 2024's Black Friday, Southeast Asian manufacturers reduced costs by 45% through AI-optimized inventory alignment.

3. Omnichannel Experience Engineering
TikTok Shop's Ramadan campaign achieved 70% GMV growth via AI-calibrated product displays and culturally sensitive scripts, highlighting AI's role in bridging global consumer preferences.

Strategic Insights for Enterprises
1. Unified AI Pipelines
Leading platforms integrate physics-based rendering (PBR) and NLP to generate marketing packages (images/SEO content) in seconds, eliminating fragmented workflows.

2. Ethical-AI Governance
With GDPR fines escalating, tools now embed compliance safeguards like end-to-end encryption and bias detection for 18 languages.

3. Human-AI Synergy
Brands like BMW use cultural engagement AI to detect regional art preferences, boosting campaign relevance by 40% while maintaining human oversight for brand alignment.
