I think stackful coroutines will always have their fans but the industry is heading towards stackless. The reality is that blocking I/O is a dangerous illusion. Any time you leave your address space you are fundamentally engaged in an asynchronous exchange. APIs that hide this from people -- even in the name of "ease of use" -- are simply inviting all sorts of unexpected behavior or worse, deadlocks. Stackful coroutines hide their blocking nature from the caller and this makes it very difficult to reason about their behavior.
Based on CMCDragonkai's comment, I'm guessing the one you're looking for is below. I thank both of you since it was an interesting concept and paper. Hopefully, the one you were looking for.

It's the closest of all others to the instincts in our 'reptile brain' * , so done and marketed right, you should have no issues getting new user signups, monetization, etc.

It's also one of those things you can do solo, without investors and lot of 'partners' / employees. And I'm guessing you have a day job and are trying to do a project on nights, weekends.

OK, those can be factored into the simulation. Care to add it?

As mentioned in the last paragraph, I don't think it will substantially change the results. Maybe you need to save $11K, or $15K. Personally as a software engineer, I've saved $15K+ every year for over a decade, and I live smack in the middle of San Francisco, one of the highest cost-of-living cities in the US.

Point is: you absolutely don't need to be insider trading to amass $8.2M over 67 years, working a normal job. (Or at least you didn't in the last 67 years, not saying anything about the next 67).

Yeah, seriously, this isn't some introvert/extrovert thing. Most people are really bad at confrontation. I confronted an extrovert who owed me a couple hundred bucks once, and he was most definitely, definitely "stun-locked." It takes a pretty aggressive personality to think on their feet when faced with a personal attack.

How do you make this conclusion when you know nothing about the author's current work environment?

Consider that what you see in the slides could be hypothetical examples or examples inspired from someone else's life or from his previous work environment. Also consider that some people, although aware that they need a better work environment, are unable to find that better work environment in near future. They need the skills and techniques to be able to deal with the current work environment.

I totally agree with you. I've seen this in people before and honestly would like to understand more.

I have a friend who is very analytical but gets flustered by many social situations and conflicts. When I ask him what's going on he explains he doesn't understand how to act or what's going on. I've no idea how to help. I've developed instincts, through experience, rather than calculated responses. My instincts can be off and need adjustment over time but it's a totally different way of reacting. Much less taxing on me emotionally than what he goes through. I don't need to think I just need to practise. But this doesn't seem to work for some people and I have no idea why?

I remember in my late teens and early twenties experiencing this but I just grew out of it. How do you help someone develop interpersonal skills and instincts?
I don't really believe in the "donating all of your tens of billions of dollars" either. However, he is right that Bezos lacks imagination if that is all that he can think of doing with his money.

First off, how about not maximizing the profit from Amazon for himself and for speculative shareholders and increasing worker salaries instead?

Second, how about keeping prices as low as possible for consumers? They made record profits, and multiple X of what Amazon made like a couple of years ago, and yet they still increased Prime subscription prices, for instance.

But Bezos could also lower his company's commissions and increase commissions for affiliates (which I think were also lowered like a year ago), as another example.

There are so many more ways in which Bezos could "do good", without "having" to make billions of profits himself and his shareholders. So either he really lacks the imagination to do stuff like that, or he's just using that reason as an excuse to seem like there's no other option than for him to make so much money, because in reality he loves making all of that money for himself. But he likes to pretend he doesn't and that he would "do more" if he could.

I really don't believe in this whole thing of "pleasing shareholders at all costs, and bottom-feeding on the poor (both regular workers and consumers) as much as possible to do that." Also, Bezos himself used to believe that pleasing shareholders didn't have to be the company's #1 priority for a decade and a half, even if his reason then wasn't "to do good" but "grow as much as possible first".

I'm not sure what is happening lately, but there is a clear trend of corporations bottomfeeding more and more and squeezing all the money from the bottom up. My guess is it's a combination of increased corruption in Congress and of "buying of politicians" (it has become much easier to do it), a failure of anti-trust laws and enforcement, allowing big companies to grow ever larger and have less competition, as well as increased corruption/greed at the top of these companies (their boards being more and more willing to compensate themselves and the top-level execs more and more every year, to the detriment of workers and consumers).

Not everyone votes.

In any case, the bay area being a liberal hub isn't exactly a strike against it, considering most cities are liberal hubs, and the existence of conservative hubs means that one can't necessarily judge a place for having a cultural zeitgeist.
"""The idea of being an entrepreneur, in the GTA especially, is buying a second house in the suburbs and hoping the housing market continues rising."""

... or a condo to put on Airbnb.

You are definitely onto something when you say that there are some deep cultural issues within Canada; Look at RIM, the company believed that its central business customers cared more about security and efficient communication and that the iPhone presented no threat to them. The iPhone was just a crazy idea to them, who would want to use that clunker with a horrible battery life and browse the net on it?

Canada has talent, without a doubt, but it also keeps people subdued as you stated because they are constantly questioned by everyone else. Canadians are a lot like accountants, they want to buy that fancy Harley and take it out on the road and live a little, but only on the weekends. :)
An interesting opinion. If true, the future holds interesting problems, and I liked that it noted that there are worse things for a society than calmly growing old together.

And as an aside, I find myself very willing to click on any HN submissions linking to the New Yorker. It's website is usually clean, minimal, and seems genuinely intent on conveying an intelligent message to the reader, which is a breathe of fresh air as clickbait and sensationalism seems to only be growing.
I have worked in process and equipment R&D for ten plus years, off and on:

What I want is a PLC:
1) A PLC which has a hard real-time process and soft real-time processes. Beckhoff and B&R do this, other PLC's do this as well.
2) I want to do the hard real-time programming in Rust or Ada, or "Safe/restricted C"... Rust and Ada are so much more expressive than structured text.
3) I would also like to have a simple API to allow deterministic, hard real-time communication between the real-time control domain and a soft real-time domain so that higher level languages can be used for control problems. And I would like the PLC to support one of the high level languages: CLISP or Racket, F#, Julia, Python, Elixir... don't care what it is.
This is actually doable on Beckhoff but the tight connection between hard and soft real-time was not really there.. and beckhoff runs windows. Would prefer Linux, VXworks, or QNX.

I'm really interested in seeing how this will play out if solar continues to get cheaper.

I'd imagine that at a certain point, the panels themselves will be cheap(er) compared to the installation cost (so that the cost structure changes to favor the most efficient installation/maintenance regime), and that residential-scale solar will be uneconomical compared to large-scale installations in the desert, where you can get a couple of hundred megawatts all in one place getting the advantages of optimal weather, easily-installable sun-tracking, and more regular maintenance than what you'd get on a 1,500 sqf roof in SF.

It's entirely possible that, 10-15 years from now, this ends up being a "tax" paid by all homeowners to the residential-solar-installation industry so that they can put solar panels on roofs that will never earn their money back, just so that the homeowner can displace what might be equally clean energy generated elsewhere.

BTW, I agree, but I think the opposite is the case. I strongly suspect that in fact we'll see more content as the ad economy collapses. People don't understand just how much content is driven without ads for other reasons (like HN itself) and once more and more content gets locked behind subscription walls that indeed opens the door for free content to thrive. Combine this with strong, pervasive ad blocking and what you have is a recipe for the return of the free web.
I think it's a byproduct of "development" (which might be not positive after all). In my mother's country it was the same.. people came by all the time, it wasn't all perfect, some times people would complain that someone was too often coming to drink your drinks; but it was a very relaxing friendly social structure.
Just to clarify, “Trials of Bahamut” is produced by the Japan-based company SCRAP. Although they do a lot of original games, they also do a lot of collaborations with major franchises, including the Bahamut game (Final Fantasy) and the Zelda game from last year. (They’re also currently running a Pacific Rim game.)

They’re much smaller than Square Enix, but they’re the most popular escape game producer in Japan. And escape games are currently booming here, so they’ve managed to work with a lot of big franchises.
Bezos isn't giving all of his wealth to space. He has been clear about that, stating over and over again in interviews that he plans to also donate to social causes in the US where he can have a near-term impact.

He's 54 years old and has gained $104 billion in new paper wealth in the last three years. I'd rather he get his philanthropy right - assuming the wealth sticks around at all, given Amazon's valuation - instead of hurrying and dumping billions into poor decisions that accomplish little. If he perhaps has 30 years to give tens of billions to social charity efforts, then patience and prudence is called for.
Why did Koum leave WhatsApp?
It can't, really, without creating the bureaucracy that leads to all that waste in the first place.

$130B is 13,000 $10M chunks. No single person can find, vet, decide upon, and measure progress for 13,000 small organizations. That means you have to hire a staff to manage and give away the money. A staff means that a.) it's not your imagination that matters b.) money is allocated via horse-trading among the people who have been hired to manage the money and c.) suddenly you have a strong incentive for potential recipients to game the system and focus on making things look good for donors rather than providing the services to the ultimate beneficiaries. Organizations that previously were all about the mission become focused on the money, because there's a lot of it available and they're competing with lots of other organizations for it.
Depends where you source it from.
All this "service mesh" layer technology seems very complex. Does anyone have a link to write-up that would cover the motivations?

If it's who you are, there's no way to change it. Why go through life being ashamed or treating it with a cold distance?

pg's "Keep your identity small" comes to mind. But when it's a description of your mental status, it seems less like a label you choose and more like a label that chooses you.

In particular, it's different from wanting a smaller belly or bigger muscles or more money. All of those things are mutable. But being an introvert seems like a fundamental fact of your existence that's unlikely to change. In that context, isn't it better to wear it on your sleeve?

It's hard, certainly. But that's where a sense of community can help.

This is great, great work. The importance of this work is difficult to overstate. The UX in modern Linux desktops is lacking and more often than not, giant redesigns, while fun, are not going to help. What will help is running through an app and patching the rough spots, repeatedly, until the experience is smooth.

One off topic comment on the writing: I kept thinking that issues were worked on by both the author and Nate Graham because they were written as "Me, Nate Graham, ..." - I feel it would be clearer if it were written as "Me (Nate Graham)"

Yeah I tried using Firefox too on one of the sites, it didn't go well. No content, enabled JS, a brief menu with some sound effects popped up, then the whole page changed into an invalid HTTPS cert page as if I triggered a redirect or a script tried to load a resource or something else, apparently they're trying to use a github-domain-only cert and I'd have to add an exception. I left at that point.

The artist reaction makes him come across as a primadonna. It's not like there aren't thousands of art projects made from Java applets that either flat out don't work anymore or require an absurd amount of manual steps to get working. The effort he'd need to make to keep things working (which is generally a given for so much of software) is quite a bit less than those artists who banked on the Java (or hell, even Flash) horse.
When I said "present" I was referring to how you're likely to be perceived by colleagues. I was imagining someone working as a programmer, in a development team that makes heavy use of command line environments. (I'm a programmer and a dedicated emacs user in such a development team.)

It would also impede your ability to discuss and troubleshoot problems with command line environments with colleagues, since your colleagues would be using bash (or perhaps zsh) and conventional ssh, whereas you would be using a shell inside emacs and tramp.

Perhaps you should give it some time. Knowing that a private citizen can start a space programs is exciting enough for me. More exciting than donating my wealth before I die.

Good people get employed there for good salaries so if they want to donate to charity they can do so. It looks like a good distribution of wealth regardless if the space program works out or not.

Simply donating to a charity doesn't guarantee good results either. If would be up to me I would invest in biotech but I don't see space tech a waste of money either.

I'm almost permanently ready to ditch Windows for good and move to MacOS and Linux. And I've been a Windows user since 3.1.

If we're really moving to the equivalent of Windows 11 and 12, I must ask: who is paying for these releases (besides OEMs with new hardware)?

I'm not paying the upgrade fee I paid for 98, XP, and 7 on old hardware. Microsoft is obviously not a charity and their devs don't work for free, and they have to recoup their costs and more.

But telemetry, tie-ins to other MS products like XBox, media subscriptions, Azure and Office 365, and even advertising on my desktop, along with now being volunteered by Microsoft to take on their QA as they force-install beta software on my PCs are NOT things I'm willing to exchange for the former $100 upgrade costs I've always willingly paid previously and made them a very profitable company.

In other words, each newer update brings fewer features I want as a paying user, and more and more anti-features I'm not willing to trade for my privacy, time, and attention.

The fact that they have to nerve to explicitly reset, upon each update, the settings that took me hours to find and apply - turning off Cortana, the telemetry (the most I can, anyway), all the privacy-invading phone / tablet features, the demands to sign-in to MS account, etc - pisses me off and makes it easier to swallow the issues with Linux and the absurb prices Apple charges.
