Thank you for the feedback.

We removed the image and pushed the video up. Is this better?
We are unfortunately destined to disagree on these points and definitely some others. You do write very well and I believe you have some reasons for your positions, but they don't appear logically consistent to me.

Just to descend into pedantry: "Perfect is the enemy of the good." That's the aphorism. The misapplication undercuts the argument you're making from a composition standpoint. It's like you're saying "the sword is mightier than the pen."

Your position on ending USAID is impractical on a moral basis. If the solution you're comfortable with is to risk people dying when the alternative was to take a period of time to responsibly transition obligations, then I conclude that the immediate welfare of those people is less important to you than the shuttering of USAID. Was the situation so dire that we couldn't even ship food and medicine for which we had already paid? This is the equivalent of addressing the trolley problem by arresting the bystander and turning your back on the whole troublesome thing.

This fragment is also disappointing for me: "[...] if somehow we were able to selectively pick and choose 'worthy' programs [...]". Somehow? All of USAID's programs were actively reporting status and commitments and that information was not utilized. I understand that you support one of the outcomes, ending USAID, but the collateral damage was entirely avoidable. You're creating a false urgency here and I can't quite determine if it is a blind spot in your reasoning or a rhetorical trick.

You also counter with:

1) a "slippery slope" argument that leads to the expedient conclusion that we should leave everything to someone else because we wouldn't want to harm someone by helping too much and then having something go wrong thereby leaving them in a worse position than they would be otherwise. That's very convenient.

2) an implicit accusation that all USAID programs existed without consideration of consequences. I say "all" because the existence of any USAID programs that were thoughtfully implemented with sustainability in mind are prevented from sliding down your slippery slope because anyone else would have to do as good as or better than USAID in order for it to make any difference in the outcome.

Can you see how fallacy-ridden your reasoning is here? You should reconcile these beliefs against an ethical framework. Just pick one or two and think about it.
Bluesky is as bad as Twitter. The conspiracy theories and absurdly-biased takes are equally pronounced. Someone should start a social media site where you get booted for political talk, like you would from a decent gentleman's club.

Gemini sounds like a fake American "everything is awesome, good luck" politeness.

LLama sounds like a predator from upper race rationalising his choices.

Deepseek sounds like Sun Tzu giving advice for long term victory with minimal loses.

I wonder how much of these are related to the nationality and the culture the founder and an engineering team grew up.

I feel there is an opportunity for a modern go or rust utility that does compression/decompression in a zillion different formats with a subcommand interface “z gzip -d” or “z zstd -9” or “z zip -d” or “z cpio -d” or similar.

Maybe I’ll write it.
The ancients had reed/bamboo pens, which looked similar to modern pencils, though they were largely supplanted by quill pens by medieval times.
The MCP documentation has a long way to go to be really easy to grok for everyone.

One aspect I 'missed' the first few times I read over the spec was the 'sampling' feature on the client side which, for anyone that hasn't read the spec, is a way for the MCP Client to expose an LLM endpoint to the MCP Server for whatever the server may need to do.

Additionally, I feel like understanding around the MCP Server 'prompts' feature is also a bit light.

Overall, MCP is exciting conceptually (when combined with LLM Tool Support), but it's still a fast-moving space and there will be a lot of growing pains.
Americans do not understand how much press there is outside the US about tourists from Ireland / Germany / Canada getting locked up in ICE jails for weeks on end.

It's one thing to refuse entry to someone who doesn't have the right documents. The fear goes to a completely different level once people see tourists getting locked up.

As someone who lived in the US for 22 years legally and most of my social and business network there, I an not taking the risk of getting locked up in ICE jail any time soon, no matter how unlikely it is.
People might choose to fly somewhere else instead though, so it doesn't necessarily reduce the overall amount of carbon emissions from air travel. Especially if you see Europeans deciding to go somewhere else in the Americas instead, which I've heard some of my friends considering. Although if Europeans choose to travel within Europe instead then yes we'd see a reduction as the distances are rather shorter (and with any luck some of them would go by rail)
Thank you so much for the feedback. I am curious to know how you are currently solving it.

The same reason why flatlanders don’t see two circles in the same 2D coordinates, even if a 3D tube was penetrating through their world.

Because they can’t see above or below to the rest of the tube. They can only see a single infinitely thin slice of the tube.

For a lot of people a certain level of crazy was the thing that made the US interesting.

I make an effort to avoid and me mindful/critical or news/culture war stuff but at the same time.

I’ve got this instinctive vibe that now is not the best time to be visiting the US.
Funnily, I released something similar two weeks ago with more targeted decorators (sync vs async), a more strict `Err` type and a less verbose type guard (`ok`):

>What if the education system can't fix this?

If your nation's education is so bad that 51% of the population buys into disinformation with no way of convincing them otherwise, then you'll have to accept you're doomed as a country and deserve that fate. Might as well give up on democracy and anoint an emperor or king to rule over you, because there's no point in cosplaying as a democracy if you're not planning to respect the will of the majority at the elections.

>Not just the current one - any education system.

Switzerland and nordic countries like Denmark seem to be quite well educated, highly transparent, low corruption and a decent democracy. So it is possible.

>What if people's propensity to believe utter bullshit is independent of their financial situation?

People's political biases are ALWAYS tied to their wealth, education and social class. Just compare a map with wealth/income distribution with a map with blue/red voters.

>What if the tendency to believe bullshit is the cause?

Look in the mirror.
ICE statements about detention say it's supposed to be non-punitive, but clearly it's punishing for the detained. Lots of people get detained for what are actually civil violations or even just suspicion of civil violations, not crimes. We really need a new system. People shouldn't be locked up for more than 24 hours until they've seen a judge, and I imagine in many cases, lockup could be avoided entirely with a court summons (which if violated would justify arrest).
It’s a captive audience which you can directly target for retention. In 3 months when they go to buy another plane ticket they’ll remember the catchy funny video and associate that airline with positive feelings when making a choice.
until the airlines reduce flights, the planes still fly, just emptier
Interesting! This reminds me of Knot Theory which is a branch of Topology within Mathematics. I don't personally crochet but it appears that indeed the knot theory is applicable for crochet as well. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Always amazed at how mathematics' various specialties relate to everyday activities in sometimes very subtle ways.

As a tangent -- In studying numerical analysis, I was tested with a question of a logistic model applied to rabbit populations (of all things). You know, the one that generates bifurcation diagrams and is closely associated with chaos theory. Anyway, it was just a reminder in the moment about how such seemingly familiar phenomena can be explained by these seemingly obscure mathematical models (such as numerical differentiation.)
Almost no one is pro genocide, so why is it happening when most countries are more or less democracies? One theory is that the media and politician change the narrative whichever way it suits them. And imo one way to combat this is with polite measured conversations. As the alternative is easily distorted by the opposite side.
By all means, bring up something vaguely similar from ten years ago to somehow justify the idiotic and criminal actions of the current batch of clowns. Why can't people just say "this is bad and they deserve to be punished"?
How do you dry out a desert?
Remember that many (most?) people coming from Canada go thru US immigration there, so these numbers (from US airports) likely represent non-Canadian visitors.

With so many fewer people coming the ratio of fliers to immigration people is going to be lower, chance of getting hassled is going to be that much higher.

Personally I'm unlikely to return while these stories of bad things happening to people at the border continue

(this isn't a new thing, in particular because the US has no exit processing infrastructure - people get tagged as overstaying even though they've left, get popped into detention when they return - always keep your boarding passes when you leave).
> I left Twitter 10 years ago because I believe it is toxic.

So everyone should leave, or the people with the mandate to protect EU should solve the issue with the platform in place of putting the responsibility in the users?

For European visitors, they can see the fascism miles away. A lot of Europe was occupied by Hitler while the US wasn't. The extraordinary claim that Musk's salute wasn't a Nazi salute is mind boggling. Even when people have seen it side by side: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1Zwiv8erk0
> How would you have worded it in such a way as to sincerely express the stated sentiment without coming across as passive‐aggressively rude?

Something like ‘While we understand that some people would prefer to read the original texts (modulo typos, formatting errors and the like), we think that it is preferable to modernize spelling because X, Y and Z.’

In other words, the polite response to ‘I like most of what you’re doing, but I dislike this particular thing’ is not ‘Fine! You’re free to go elsewhere,’ with an implied ‘don’t let the door hit you on the backside on your way out,’ but rather to engage and explain.

Again, I have to admit my own bias against the policy and consequent bias in favour of the original poster.
Another limitation I face is the impossibility of using `usize::from(n)` in `const` context.

> If a manufacturer comes up with additional data that isn’t included in the DNG standard, the format is extensible enough that a camera manufacturer can throw it in there, anyway.

It sounds like DNG has so much variation that applications would still need to support different features from different manufacturers. I'm not sure it (DNG) will really solve interoperability problems. This issue smells like someone is accidentally playing politics without realizing it.

Kind of reminds me of the interoperability fallacy with XML. Just because my application and your application use XML, it doesn't mean that our applications are interoperable.

I suspect that a better approach would be a "RAW lite" format that supports a very narrow set of very common features; but otherwise let camera manufacturers keep their RAW files as they see fit.
SpaceX (and Elon) likes government funding, not tariffs.
Quite a pronouncement to make with no supporting detail. Reads like troll bait if I'm being honest. But I'll respond in kind:

Yes, it is. Tough is relative.

There is no "we" to be coddled, only your flawed perception of a difficult-to-grasp, heterogeneous whole.

There is no "we" to form a single impression of what is described in the post.

Replying here because nesting,

Regardless of if the startup intends to hit it big or remain smallish, a startup is really something that's appropriate until it's operating for profits rather than growth and/or growth in it's market niche naturally slows down due to saturation.
Airlines need to offer this as a single ticket option. (They might, I don’t know). Because the average traveller or the business traveller isn’t going to coordinate and book two systems, and the headache associated with one being delayed.

>This newsletter doesn’t delve into politics, and the reason for this change is both pretty obvious and not in need of further discussion here.

Can someone state the obvious for me please?

The two thoughts in my head were "this is because tourism is down" and "this is because migrants/asylum seekers aren't crossing the border at the moment".

I would think you'd draw different conclusions if it's one or the other, but, regarding the latter, I don't know how many of them cross the border at the border and how many typically do it with a plane ticket.
Exactly this. If someone from "high tier" countries like Canada and Germany can get locked up in ICE jails for several weeks imagine someone like me from a peripheral European country. Even worse, my youngest brother that has a more "tanned" appearance. tattoos, and a beard.

I won't be visiting the US for the foreseeable future (used to go several times per year for work), just not worth the risk.
I think the news feeds within the US may be approximately equal in their delivery of "this is good change" versus "this is catastrophic change", whilst internationally it's almost entirely "this is catastrophic change" with minor pockets of intolerance apologia.

I'd be interested in alternate viewpoints since I may be in a bleeding-heart, empathetic, progressive, consequence-considering news bubble.

My reasoning is that a family member who lives in the US said that they feel protected / insulated because they're in a deep blue state. I don't feel this is representative of reality, or at least they should be more alarmed than they sounded.
sourcegraph Cody, tabbyml, cursor, continue.dev
There are many, usually non-technical people though some devs & such too, who maximise everything then complain about how much space is wasted on the right of their fancy screen.

I have a 32" screen running at "standard" pixel pitch (matching the 24" 1080p screen I have in portrait next to it) which I sometimes use full-screen but usually have split 50/50, 33/66, 25/75, or 33/33/33, depending on what I'm doing. One of our testers doesn't understand, can't see benefit I get from the flexibility ("why not just have two monitors?" has been asked several times). It seems to actively annoy her that such a wide screen exists. If she ever saw the ultra-wide my friend uses for gaming I think she'd have a seizure.

Admittedly when sat this monitor plus the other in portrait is in total a bit wide (so the other screen is usually relegated to just being mail/chat windows that I only interact with when something pings for my attention) and a touch too tall. It is much more comfortable when I use the desk raised so I stand, which is how I work >⅔ of the time.
This is fun, like the tv show survivor. Cool idea! There should be more experiments like this with different games. Well done.
People "make conclusions" because they have to take decisions day to day. We cannot wait for the perfect bulletproof evidence before that. Data is useful to take into account, but if I try to use X llm that has some perfect objective benchmark backing it, while I cannot make it be useful to me while Y llm has better results, it would be stupid not to base my decision on my anecdotal experience. Or vice versa, if I have a great workflow with llms, it may be not make sense to drop it because some others may think that llms don't work.

In the absence of actually good evidence, anecdotal data may be the best we can get now. The point imo is try to understand why some anecdotes are contrasting each other, which, imo, is mostly due to contextual factors that may not be very clear, and to be flexible enough to change priors/conclusions when something changes in the current situation.
OK, now explain where management's salary comes from.

They don't produce anything, at best they're taste arbiters and at worst parasitic middle men that happen to control the budget; funny how that always means they get more of it.

The best long term performing companies are run by technical people that happen to be competent managers. As soon as the professional managerial class takes over they quickly figure out their most profitable move is to cheapen out on engineering and trade in the future for bonuses right now; they'll be long gone when the company craters.
You have cooked yourself
Yep. Last time I went to the US I made a mistake with my visa and was briefly detained. it could totally happen to me again, so I'd need a really good reason to run that risk again.

>I think the news feeds within the US may be approximately equal in their delivery of "this is good change" versus "this is catastrophic change", whilst internationally it's almost entirely "this is catastrophic change" with minor pockets of intolerance apologia.

Exactly.

Americans generally don't understand the degree to which the rest of the world gets the CNN 5min recap of what's going on in the US, and it's very much the CNN recap and not the Fox one.

"Tourists locked up, school children shot, government defunded, California on fire, tune in at 11 for more".

The fact that ~half the country doesn't think ICE should be locking up tourists without good reason and the other ~half doesn't think ICE should be locking up anyone gets skipped.

Edit: Just to head off the nitpickers, by "good reason" I mean stuff that border guards of any nation would lock anyone up for if they found, regardless of visa type, status or nation or origin.
Interesting question.

The primary goal of Glamorous Toolkit is not to be a technology for expressing systems in. Its purpose is to be an environment with which to work with systems written in various technologies.

The differentiator to other environments is that here you can create contextual experiences (made out of micro tools) while you develop.

That said, of course, the first language targeted is the main language in which the environment is built: Smalltalk. And you can build interesting systems with Smalltalk today.

The end user does not have to see the development tools. You can just fine create web applications.

Collaboration is handled through Git (all sources of GT are on GitHub).

You mention TDD. Moldable Development is complementary and can be quite interesting to explore :). And more importantly, you can use GT to employ Moldable Development in your system development.
Objectively German internet speeds are lower than other countries, but do Germans really mind the speeds, or just the lack of coverage?

I did IT for a 50 employee company that happily shared a 10Mbit fiber link. Email, browsing, YouTube videos — subjectively, nothing felt “slow,” and no one had to verbally coordinate usage with other employees “can you stop watching YouTube, I need to download a windows update”. 200kbps per employee was just fine.

These days I work from gigabit fiber, but recently at a coffee shop I had to tether over a 110kbps Bluetooth connection. Despite the noticeable page-load times, I was able to work effectively for hours, no complaints.

I would say the average speeds the article derides are already incredibly usable.
