I believe GP is talking about the lower level QUIC protocol. That’s like TCP requiring TLS.

A tradeoff would have been QUIC not requiring it but the higher level http/3 protocol requiring (if that’s possible idk)

Same. I was at an AI startup that used python for everything and it was so bad. Even worse since it was AI engineers writing a lot of the main app code too.

>> Python’s standard library sucks

> I have to disagree again, I think it is pretty well designed and minimal on purpose

Oh come on. That’s like saying “this buffet has no food selection but that’s good cause I’m on a diet”. Meaning that you like that it sucks (that’s fine).

Numpy is not the kind of thing you would include in the std lib anyway.

> OK sure, it is slower than compiled languages like C++, that is a concession we make when opting for the ease of readability, writability, usability, etc.

Fair, but I’ve spent enough time python environment/dependency hell that a lot of those gains (which are mostly cognitive) weren’t worth it for me.

I was responding to "now the US government demands not to use modern encryption".

That could go to the supreme court, maybe violates the 4th amendment?

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated"

meaning, I got the right to secure my sh*t.

I believe it’s just the “T” in this case, snotrockets.

Adding: another reason I like it is the backend does the rendering (like server rendered react)[1] except the language doesn’t matter (agnostic) so that I’m able to use a functional language (F#) to build all my “components”.

[1]: not actually like server rendered react, since srr only happens the first page load.

Been building in HTMX for the last month and I’m loving the new paradigm. This vid did a good job of explaining the shift. https://youtu.be/LRrrxQXWdhI

(Been using preact/react since 2016, angular/jquery before that)

Linux scrub Q, does NVIDIA not use any Linux for themselves? Or is it a financial reason to ignore Linux?

I would recommended searching for it on YouTube and watching some commentaries if you don’t have the energy to read them all.

> Even more administrators?

Yes, they will hire a planned parenthood admin who you contact 2 weeks before any “on-campus intimacy”.

Another question, what if they are still paying a mortgage? Then they are “bailing on leverage”? Committing the bank’s home to the US govt.

> the m1 chip doesn't really have a competitor in that department

the m2 chip :)

Is AI doomed to always be a version behind the target framework/language? If a framework API is updated or if a new hardware feature is launched, it will take a little time for the AI to catch-up right?

I imagine it’s not just about having API examples, you would want real codebases and use cases for training.

It's known that tech recruiting has its most active months in spring/summer. Its more in line with the school year[1] than the calendar year.

[1]: probably because parents don't like big changes while their kids are on a schedule and because new grads, and possibly (on a more evolutionary-biological level) because people are more active after winter as they begin foraging/farming/building, venturing out, etc.

I wouldn't say it's "anti-worker", just armchair discussion of supply-demand economics. You can't improve worker conditions without an honest characterization of market dynamics. It pretty straightforward that a decrease of "open positions" (the supply of jobs) and the increase in "candidates looking for work" (the demand for jobs) would afford employers the leverage to change their hiring strategies.

Combine that with post-covid environment where employers want to boost productivity to prior levels, and as they see other companies successfully perform layoffs without huge hits to productivity or stock price, and you get a perfect storm.

And yes, most companies that have had had layoffs are still hiring, but obviously more selectively.

Follow up:

> It sounds like you're saying that companies are going to lay off (say) half their workforce, and replace them by a handful of "10x engineers" who they pay twice as much

they don't have to be 10x engineers, just perceived as better than their current "hand". Put some card back in the pile, draw some new ones from the deck. And they don't have to pay them twice as much either (unless a really desirable skillset), it's an employers market.

An employer’s market changes the dynamic, which can be to your benefit if you’re a top engineer. I expect that companies can lay off the bottom 10% and then turn around and hire the top 5% in the market who will replace the laid off 10%.

Kind of risky to join a new company though because if they do layoffs, recent hires or more likely to get the axe.

The Atlanta Braves is a Major League Baseball team.

Used like you would use “warrior”.

Speaking of Indigenous Americans... the list has Brave (noun), with the reasoning: "This term perpetuates the stereotype of the "noble courageous savage," equating the Indigenous male as being less than a man."

I actually think Brave ("the Braves") would have been a good name to refer to Native Americans. I don't feel like "noble, courageous" is much of a slur. It's pretty honorable in fact. I don't see how calling someone brave equates them with less than a man.

I would love for cancelled shows to have the writers create a script or synopsis of where they wanted to take the show so I could get closure.

One show I was in to a while ago was Amazon's Mozart in the Jungle and it was canceled when a new studio head came in. It ended on a cliff hanger.

Personal accounts in your own time and not in any way as a representative of the US govt, and tax payer dollars aren’t paying for my time? Seems more reasonable to me. Especially if it isn’t a regular thing. a good question for a court to decide.

> Twitter can always say no to the feds

I can also say no to the feds if they ask me to assassinate someone but it doesn’t mean they aren’t breaking a law by asking me.

Would be a crazy constitutional loophole if the govt simply needs to ask citizens to censor each other (1a), steal their neighbors guns (2a), tell husbands to prevent their wives from voting (19a), etc.

If these censorship request were about bomb threats or something that’s one thing, but they are mostly just spicy political takes. FBI needs to stay in their lane.

For real. exactly why the govt is supposed to stay out of censorship.

Yes, I started in OCaml but switched to F# for the last 3 years and will likely move back to OCaml when effects are mature (when lwt and async are snuffed out).

Being able to use C# libs is very nice but also it sucks that I don't have true null safety.

Who knows, maybe F# is always more performant than OCaml and it doesn't make sense to switch back.

I believe congress can only make recommendations, they can't actually pass any judgement from a hearing.

> Myocarditis is rare

In absolute terms, yes. But relative to other vaccines, it's much more common.

I also read that the chances are like 1 in a million per dose (not the right number, you get the point) but since its per dose your chances are actually like 1 in 40,000 after 3-4 doses.

I feel like my main pain point is following someone and then their account gets censored and i don't get any updates. I feel like it'd be nice if a "follow" subscribes to an RSS feed. A platform can "filter out" a feed if it's "bad" but the feed is still live and i just need to use a different client.

Like the notification feed and the "timeline" feed are 2 separate things, maybe? I can click on a notification and it opens in a different client. Like apple can remove a podcast from the podcast app, but the podcaster can still publish on the rss feed and you can subscribe on a different client.

It’s almost like htmx is a byte code target that you feed to the htmx JavaScript library. It’s easy to generate htmx markup with any backend language.

So instead of a backend language transpiling to JavaScript (like clojurescript), I can just generate htmx markup.

I imagine that by moving this to the backend you could guarantee (at compile time) that all Ajax calls on the client have an associated backend endpoint. This eliminates dead urls, and gives you more opportunities for code generation or IDE-style autocomplete when creating Htmx views.

Do this in a static functional language and your whole app will more “deterministically pure”.

So yes, it causes more work on backend but, given more tooling, it can provide more opportunities for less code written overall via code-generation (like how creating a model in Rails generates lots of helpers).
