usually less perfect is a better sign of integrity

brave new world

there are vets who return from a deployment and can’t adjust to life at home. and they re-deploy many times over. i’m not going to call one cool and one boring, you’ll have to ask those guys what their motivation is

somehow location tags on my photos got turned off for a bit. i would use this to restore them

it’s mentioned many times in the linked article happy cows produce more milk

modern 4chan has a certain authentic charm to it. this is missing from most other places. you have to sift past loads of junk to get it, but you have to do that on any app to get the content you want.

with no names, likes, virality, accounts, etc there’s less focus on writing the basic filler comments. less companies trying to sell me stuff. less focus groups trying to tell me what to think. and with less censorship you end up seeing more creativity

this is a great idea if you want to slow down your project. most projects start with few rules and “best practices” like this. everyone is free to pull in dependencies as needed. because they are needed. but then once the project grows larger, those who have been around longer want to reverse course and gatekeep dependencies. but this is the opposite of what helped the project grow initially. and later contributors have a harder time making similar progress because they have to fight to add basic libraries. ensuring that efficiency per engineer goes down

it depends on the business and industry. at some phases in a business’s life you need to get features out more than stability. some industries are more sensitive to bugs than others. it’s not a one size fits all approach.

to shift the culture from “fast” to “safe” is mostly a team-based effort because not all teams need to shift. and even within a team you may have experimental and mature products.

i’ve seen this shift happen successfully multiple times. it must come from leadership. C-level and down. even if it’s just for one team. or one product. you need the buy in all the way up. and then your people in the chain will adapt to changing expectations

this is clearly an edge case and most (all?) modern websites will not run into any problems. this is a very reasonable change given the impact

java is on a great trajectory now. it gets big updates. they know where they are missing on features. even without nullable types you have optional. it’s a great language for any project.

it was an outlier then and it’s an outlier now

reddit is a really weird website these days. the main subs push misinformation / ai generated garbage. the same posts are on every sub. the self post subs are almost 100% ai written. the comments which historically have been sometimes useful just feel hollow

land is still plentiful in the u. s. just maybe not where you want to be, similar to what a pioneer town might look like

i was surprised to see such advanced type features. i worked at a large scala company. we wouldn’t let most of this stuff through code review. it generally is the kind of magic that saves a tiny amount of code at a high cost of complexity. sounds like this was the authors pet project and wanted to explore instead of write maintainable code

you can buy hardware for this over radio. just google your model, year, and remote start kit. some of these have 400ft range. i bet most of your remote starts are within that range anyway

3d asset generation is a use case that for most doesn’t need to run in production

you’ll just have your ai email reader read the apology emails for you

this is the experience i see at our local schools. english as first language kids are bored and not challenged. the class is moving slower because half the kids are only learning english for the first time at school. “modern” progress ideology is to not separate the students by ability anymore and there’s less accelerated tracks

sounds like fear mongering, since when this happened previously it had no impact

when new presidents come in the rest of the government employees don’t change as well. some of these at higher levels are career employees who will serve through many presidents. timing your asks to just get approved by an outgoing president can make your future bright

“shutting down right before the tax year ends is downright scummy”

as if a dying business can magically decide to stay open longer and shut down at a more convenient time

“lawful intercept” can be mandated to be built into anything

AGI will arrive like self driving cars. it’s not that you will wake up one day and we have it. cars gained auto-braking, parallel parking, cruise control assist. and over a long time you get to something like waymo, which still is location dependent. i think AGI will take decades but sooner will be some special cases that are effectively the same

i’m curious if any of this was inspired from aws lambda snapstart

sounds like chapter 1 of brave new world

we already have this in the FDA. it’s just isolated to nutrient labels for most foods. the deposit is your business. failing a random annual FDA inspection is already extremely financially impactful

what you’re looking for is deeper analysis than nutrition labels. this is actually something small local brands start with. they pay for private “certifications” like organic, non gmo, etc.

i don’t buy the low trust society model. i see improved awareness

i have used many password managers over the years and am now 100% only on icloud. it isn’t the best (i would love custom attributes), but it’s the best to sync it to my icloud account

if they could do this on windows i would be very happy

the eu quality of life has a higher minimum but a far lower median

we have reliable infinite story generation in PvP multiplayer. if the matchup is fair, every game can be different and exciting. see chess
