The article is written by a co-founder of github and not Linus Torvalds.

git is just a tool to do stuff. It's name (chosen by that Finnish bloke) is remarkably apt - its for gits!

It's not Mecurial, nor github, nor is it anything else. Its git.

It wasn't invented for you or you or even you. It was a hack to do a job: sort out control of the Linux kernel source when Bit Keeper went off the rails as far as the Linux kernel devs were concerned.

It seems to have worked out rather well.

Token usage meaning via agentic processes. Essentially every gripe about LLMs over the last few years (hallucinations, lack of real time data, etc.) was a result of single shot prompting directly to models. No one is seriously doing that for anything at this point anymore. Yes, you spend ten times more on a task, and it takes much longer. But your results are meaningful and useful at the end, and you can actually begin to engineer systems on top of that now.

Go is one of those languages where "good layout" feels more elusive to me than in other languages. I think you accidentally highlight one of the reasons why.

core.WeatherServices

Which makes sense because you're using a lot of things from core but since I have to carry the package name around everywhere I use it, outside of that module, it becomes a bit of a strain.

weather.Service

Would clearly be a better name in the "go style," but the single level package structure always makes me feel like my types are dangling out in space outside of any decent hierarchy.

I love Go as a language but I dislike how often it makes me think of exceptionally tiny things like this. Please don't read this as a criticism of your project just a general criticism of how thin the Go "namespace" ideology actually is.

I guess I’d have to send it to my GF and then smuggle it into the US in my carry on.

Hulu makes more money per user on its ad tier than it does on its non ad tier.

Netflix keeps increasing the price of its ad free tier partially to offset the money it’s losing per user by not showing them ads.

Amazon would much rather you use their ad tier for Prime Video than their ad free tier. That’s why they opted people in to their ad tier and kept the price the same instead of raising the price of their current plan and offering the ad free tier at the original price.

Git turns 20: A Q&A with Linus Torvalds
> It's final calculation was reasonably accurate at 24,582,115 golf balls - even though 1000 ÷ 0.00004068 = 24,582,104. Maybe it was using more significant figures for the golf ball size than it showed in its answer?

1000 ÷ 0.00004068 = 25,000,000. I think this is an important point that's increasingly widely misunderstood. All those extra digits you show are just meaningless noise and should be ruthlessly eliminated. If 1000 cubic metres in this context really meant 1000.000 cubic metres, then by all means show maybe the four digits of precision you get from the golf ball (but I am more inclined to think 1000 cubic metres is actually the roughest of rough approximations, with just one digit of precision).

In other words, I don't fault the AI for mismatching one set of meaninglessly precise digits for another, but I do fault it for using meaninglessly precise digits in the first place.
These people are pro market only when it suits them!
No, I agree. We’re thinking in systems, they are not.
It's a real shame, and figuring out a solution to this is as simple as looking at the pioneers who are still top dog today. Ninteno does a mix of experiments and iteration on their titles. They make sure things are polished to a T. They focus on fostering IPs that show hope, even if they didn't make a billion dollars at launch. They focused on building a reputation for quality and not simply trying to make number go up. you don't get that kind of seal of quality overnight.

Capcom and Bandai Namco had their struggles, but overall had a similar trajectory. But many american companies don't want to think long-term portfolio anymore. They want pump and dumps. The only potential solace of such crashes is that those pump and dumps might stagnate as well.

It's not so simple. That's the equivalent of other countries thinking they can just spin up a "silicon valley" outside the US. Sales or not it doesn't work like that.

Here's a taste of unopinionated KDE: https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/1
I remember browsing Quartz back in 2014-15 and being impressed that there was finally a current affairs focused "digital media" startup that wasn't styled like the odiously click-chasing Business Insider. The website design felt fresh, with a widescreen layout as opposed to the amateurish, single-column blog-like designs of Gawker and Buzzfeed.

But things seemed to change not long after. Paywalls appeared everywhere, so while I could "see" the topics they covered, I couldn't read them. Over time I kept coming back to the website, remembering its cool design, and was disappointed to find fewer and fewer new articles.

Just took a look at the site now, and sadly it just resembles any of those dime-a-dozen "content aggregator" sites like Forbes.com.
I dropped out of school around the .com bubble bust, for ill-considered reasons that I won't go into, and instead spent quite a lot of time and energy continuing to develop technical chops on my own. That part is only relevant to frame the next:

In 2008, amid the downturn cited in this thread as a similar inflection point to the one we see today, I landed my first SE job, after a few months of active searching. They hired me without a degree and without any formal experience. I had a small portfolio of example work, the technical knowledge that I'd developed, and my personal philosophy. The portfolio did little to help me. The technical knowledge served to barely avoid outright disqualification. It was my outlook that earned me a chance to show mettle.

This was local startup that was a half-dozen years old. There I learned what technical collaboration was like in practice, what it meant to build as part of a team. I learned the stuff that school and individual hacking doesn't teach. In a couple of years I moved on to a Fortune 100 company on a merger mission, and from there on to greener pastures in the industry. Now I earn comfortably, somewhere north of 90th percentile by geography. Each of those steps, along with a healthy dose of reading, taught me something that I needed to learn/understand about the craft and it's challenges. I was oblivious to the need to know most of them until after I wrestled with them.

One of the most important lessons, and one very relevant today: character traits, not merely technical learning, lend power to carving a successful path.

You are not nearly as likely to differentiate yourself by degree alone as was the case in the past. Even less so if people sense entitlement. That's not a judgement, but a caution.

Hiring right now looks like an absolute swarm of posers, far noisier than I've ever seen before, fighting to convince managers to hire them into senior salaries. They are empowered by magical answer generators that whisper secret sauces into their ears just in time to be vomited back and the interviewer. Even though some of them vomit better than others, the kind of manager that you want to work for (imo) is going to see right through those people - and is getting very tired of it.

So tired in fact that I'm ready to hire low/no-experience, high-character people into my senior slots if they show that they have passion for the craft and ethics to match it. I won't pay them a fortune out the gate, but I will match salary growth to competency growth once they are in the saddle.

Time is the fabled commodity, and there's a lot of time-waste going on at the moment.

My advice, if you're having trouble on initial approach: be humble, be curious, and show an honest + direct character - be comfortable in the knowledge that the new skill is not what you already know, but how well your outlook positions you to "leaRn into" the next curve. And then, don't stop carving.
>No it's not. He gave you modal conditions on "understanding", he said: predicting the syntax of valid programs, and their operational semantics, ie., the behaviour of the computer as it runs.

LLMs are perfectly capable of predicting the behavior of programs. You don't have to take my word for it, you can test it yourself. So he gave modal conditions they already satisfy. Can I conclude they understand now ?

>If you find yourself hollowing-out the meaning of words to the point of making no distinctions, denying reality to reality itself, and otherwise arriving at a "philosophical abyss" be aware that it is your cherished propositions which are the maddness and nothing else.

The only people denying reality are those who insist that it is not 'real' understanding and yet cannot distinguish this 'real' from 'fake' property in any verifiable manner, the very definition of an invented property.

Your argument boils down to 'I think it's so absurd so it cannot be so'. That's the best you can do ? Do you genuinely think that's a remotely convincing argument ?

The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs.
I lack references for it. But to the best of my knowledge it is not just US tariffs on the PRC that is driving the migration of manufacturing for Japanese companies away from the PRC over the last decade or so, but also the increasingly tense relations between Japan, ROC, and South Korea and the PRC. It should be emphasised that it is of course gradual given the massive investments made by Japanese companies over many decades, but it is noticeable as a Japanese consumer.
Isn't the idea of AI agent talking to each by telling LLM model to reply say in, JSON and with some parameter value map to, say function in Python code? That in retrospect, given context {prompt} to LLM will be able to call said function code?

I doubt this is because his explanation is better. I tried to ask question of Calculus I, ChatGPT just repeated content from textbooks. It is useful, but people should remind that where the limitation is.
I have an intuition that the comment you're responding to has a lot of truth to it, but I am going to have to educate myself to give you an answer.

One thing I do know is that JS and Lisp both treat functions as first-class citizens, allow some degree of meta-programming, and rely heavily on hierarchical (e.g., nested objects in JavaScript vs. s-expressions in Lisp).

Passing functions by reference enables both LISP and JS to compose higher-order functions and, as suggested in another commented, both Lisp and JavaScript's "dynamic stack frames" somehow live updates to running code without requiring a complete restart of the application. The only clear example of this I can find, however, is Bun's --hot mode, which performs a "soft reload," updating its internal module cache and re-evaluates the changed code while preserving global state.

I have some vague notion that this is a favorite feature of Lisp, but it's not clear to me that it's unique to these language families.

I don't know, maybe. The economies of scale and 40 years of iteration make it hard to compare apples to apples like that. As well as the fact that Nintendo's game team went from maybe 5-10 Japanese designers that can fit in a garage (well, not a Japanese garage) to multiple thousands of employees focusing on different sectors of the business.

The main surprise is that they can bs surprisingly lean with their core development teams to this day. Apparently Super Mario Wonder had a core team of around 20 devs.

It's really hard to separate oneself from one's socioeconomic upbringing. For those whom did not grow up at the edge of a great financial cliff, that cliff is merely a metaphor for 'a relative had to bail me out, how embarrassing', while for those whom lives at it's very edge, never slept too easy lest the fall and hope that there exists a social safety net, whilst others learned to live on the cliff face itself, eeking out a small subsistence before the inevitable meth-fueled plunge.
I really loved the Quartz chat app. I loved how carefully curated it was, how it didn't waste my time, how it gave me an outlay of just the things I care about. It felt a little like a friend was texting me about the news rather than just a dump of news itself.

I see you getting downvoted which seems a bit harsh given it seemed like a very honest question. As far as I understand, a huge amount of materials and intermediate steps and companies are over in Taiwan or Shenzen or other places in Mainland China. Even if you could do some parts in the US (like final production) all the sub-components and companies who can actually produce them are dotted over Asia. This is part of the problem in raw economic terms: there is a large vendor and/or geographic lock-in. It's hard to get manufacturing jobs and work back in the US because most of these lines if production are somewhere else and moving one or even a few parts can't overwhelm the huge cost of moving stuff over the ocean potentially multiple times. I read that a brake manufacturer was particularly screwed even within North America because steel came from Canada, partial assembly would occur in Mexico and in the US, and then the finished product might cross a border yet again. Without tariffs this wasn't so bad, but if all the products have to cross a ton of borders a lot of these supply chains are in deep trouble.
It shouldn't affect European customers. After all, framework is based in Taiwan and there are no tariffs for european customers in that scenario.

exactly. This is why it doesn't make much sense to setup a US shop as it will be for US market only.

There is a reason Russian cars are complete crap and aren't exported. That reason is called tariffs.
