It depends on the motor and what is determined as "lag". The 4.0 motor in the 991 GT3 and GT3 RS does not have lag, the throttle response is immediate.
I rarely see automation as increasing the amount of labor required so much as reducing the overall amount of labot but timeshifting it from "later" to "now." And sometimes you can't make that tradeoff, admittedly.
Yes, that's what they sort of had before. It was pretty hacky, brittle, and slow.
Wholeheartedly agree. Kids coming out of college/university these days seem to think that if something isn't brand new/fresh, that it's old, outdated, useless junk. The truth is, Java as a language and as a platform (JVM) has stood the test of time. As has many other languages/platforms.

Everything has its uses and has its faults. The great thing about software is that, given enough time, money, and people, it can get better. And Java has.
I agree we shouldn't need drugs to make our lives bearable. I do find that psychedelics behave differently than other things called "drugs" though. Here's a quote I love from someone who took ayahuasca:

"The medicine was saying, “You only need to come here when you forget! Remember that the miracle is the dimension you normally live in. The more you can find the Divine in what you think of as the ordinary world, the less often you need to come back here.""

In contrast, drugs generally say "It's more fun over here! Come back any time!"

> With Hooks you almost never need to explicitly type the type of state of a component [...] While when using class-based Components, you'd have to specify the state type as a generic argument

You don't need to do this. You can accomplish the same thing with class syntax. Here's an example:

class MyComponent extends Component<Props> {
state = {
inferredNum: 1, // TS will infer this to be a number
explicitNullableString: null as string | null, // Tell TS this will be either null or a string
}
...

> And you'd have to use some kind of Partial<State> type when assigning only some values of the state in the property constructor.

I can't say I've ever run into this problem with TS and React but maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying? Do you have an example?

> Similar issues exist when using the static defaultProps field in TypeScript

Here's what I do:

defaultProps: Partial<Props> = {...}

That doesn't seem such a big deal?

> And if you ever tried to strictly type your HOCs or renderProps you know how hard it was, sometimes utilizing the conditional/mapped generic types feature of TS. This is completely gone with Hook.

It wasn't hard to me but I can understand why others don't like generics. Hooks have their own learning curve, so you're trading one thing for another.

This has been fixed with TS 3 I believe.

Whether you're talking about a new Twitter or Reddit, which used to go down all the time (like, constantly), or some business startup, a downtime of 30 mins or so no-one really cares about, in my experience. At worst you'll get a phone call or two, a few emails, but if you handle them compassionately you'll be fine.

You can run a startup serving thousands or tens of thousands of customers on a single server, with no micro services, a simple server-side MVC setup and never have a $600 a year dedicated server even break 15% CPU.

I once took down a server by flooding the email server with error emails, which generated more error emails, which ran out of disk space, etc., etc. Took an hour to get the site up again.

Barely a blip in revenue. Client finally coughed up for proper email hosting rather than running their own server on the same box as their site, as I'd been advising them for 4 years.

Presumably OpenAI created a lot of IP with donor dollars under the original nonprofit entity. Who owns that IP now? I imagine it got appraised and sold by the original nonprofit to the new OpenAI LP. That seems like a difficult process, given no one really knows what this type of IP is worth. If this is what happened, who did that appraisal and how was it done?

If no IP was sold to the new OpenAI LP because some or all of the IP created under the original nonprofit OpenAI was open sourced, will the new OpenAI LP continue that practice?

> lack of DPI support in X

Even back in 2002 RandR supported obtaining screen size information in pixels and millimeters which can be used to calculate DPI... or actually, what people really want when mentioning "DPI support", an automatic way to scale the windows.

How the window scales is up to the toolkit to implement and is independent of window system and really, even independent of screen size/DPI since some users (e.g. due to sight problems) may want their windows to be scaled even on "low DPI" monitors (the whole DPI thing is just a default setting).

The main problem i see with X here isn't some technical inability, but a way for window managers to notify other clients that they should change their scaling (since the window manager is in a better position to know what scaling each window should use - especially when you want different scaling per monitor, which again can be independent of DPI since you may want a large scale for a wall mounted TV even if the DPI would be very low) - essentially something like a new _NET_WM_SCALE window property for EWMH clients and window managers.

But, I'm a human being. Why do I need to show you my representation to convince you I possess human understanding of language?

Conversely, to claim that a statistical model possesses understanding is a very strong claim that requires equally strong evidence. And since we can inspect a statistical model's representation- that is where the evidence should be sought.

Depending on what and where you are tracing, scripts likely already are not compatible between different operating systems which support Dtrace - FreeBSD, Solaris and Illumos, and MacOS all have different system calls (for example).

That said, there are _many_ points of commonality which will apply to Windows too - USDT probes, function boundary tracing etc.

If I understand correctly from past announcements, OpenAI has roughly $1B committed in funding? So up until OpenAI attains a $100B valuation, its incentives are indistinguishable from a for-profit entity?

Thanks. It appears that the sequestration credit for vertical farming presumes that agricultural land formerly used for lettuce will be converted to a forest. That's questionable but not crazy.

It gets worse when you look at the footnotes. They assume that the electricity going to the vertical farm is produced at the Swedish average carbon intensity per kWh. Sweden is far below the OECD average for electrical energy carbon intensity:

http://www.compareyourcountry.org/climate-policies?cr=oecd&l...

Only Switzerland, Sweden, Iceland, and Norway have low enough electrical carbon intensities for vertical farming to have a smaller carbon footprint, even conceding the re-forestation assumption.
I think the claim isn't "SipHash is not a secure keyed hash function (PRF)" but rather "secure keyed hash functions are insufficient mitigation for hash DoS".

For long lived hash-tables even per-table keys don't prevent finding bucket-collisions via side-channels. So you either have to either rekey when a large number of bucket-collisions are detected. Or you fall back to a balanced tree based data structure for those buckets. If you prefer the latter mitigation, there is little reason to pay the performance hit of SipHash.

So the OP has a point, but is terrible at communicating it.
We tend to be interested in important things we're competent at. That's how we got competent at them in the first place. Shepherding interest - trying to figure out what's interesting about something important that you haven't tackled yet - can be useful to get competent at new things, of course.

In the emergency room, the pathologist will be interested in the sick kid instead of the guy with the broken leg, even if the latter is "more important". Unless the staff are getting overwhelmed by a mass-casualties incident, that's probably actually the right approach. (I'm no doctor though.)

I like email and other asynchronous/recorded communication for collaboration where possible, in lieu of synchronous meetings interrupting flow. But as you point out, there's a lot of cases where this doesn't work. And even a bunch of lone wolves working on solo projects can benefit from synchronizing lunch with their coworkers for some socialization and facetime. I schedule that. It's flexible and not super rigid, but it's still a schedule.

You mean filling out all the paperwork when you've decided to make a deal? That's not what I was talking about. I was talking about the experience of walking into a dealership on a Saturday, test driving a car or two, and leaving without even having to sign any contracts or give anyone any payment information.

Yeah, the dealer warranty/coating up-sell song and dance is obnoxious, but it sounds like heaven compared with needing to buy cars just to test drive them.

> A lot of SPAs/"rich" web applications are not slow because of inherent performance disadvantage to that model, they're slow because they're poorly written.

I feel there is a wrinkle here, though. SPAs aren't inherently slow, but they are built around models that will ineluctably tend towards slowness unless the developer works hard to avoid that.

SPA frameworks are all about breaking your site down into small, self-contained interface elements that can then easily be composed into a larger whole. When each interface element is acting independently, though, you end up with lots of network requests getting fired as each one builds up its state independently of the others. Network requests are slowwwwww, and it only takes one of them stalling out to make the whole page feel sluggish or broken.

There are ways to architect around this problem, but they require understanding that it actually is a problem, and they take away some of the "shared nothing" developer independence that made the SPA approach so appealing in the first place. So it's not surprising that so many SPAs either don't take advantage of them or do so incompletely.

A lot of small business owner has one company credit card. They send the credit card information to us through fax for the employees that are checking in without the company credit card. Employees are still using their personal card for incidentals.

Big companies use travel agencies. They fax a virtual credit card. Depending upon the company, the credit card in the reservation won't authorize. We can only charge the credit card in the fax.
>In fact there's a negative relationship with burnout and unions.

Or people feel locked into union workplaces because they don't want to give up their seniority and the benefits that come with it. "I hate my job but I have X more years until I've worked here Y years and my pension jumps to Z% of my pay" may as well be the official motto of the state employees union (in my state at least). They may be burned out but they keep their jobs because the cost of actually quitting is higher.
That error is orthogonal to the filesystem in use. Every OS that provides exclusive locking, regardless of filesystem, will return an error if more than one process wants to acquire such a lock.

Sadly, we can't run the experiment where you start wishing people Happy Hannukah and measure how that goes.
A great example of the exception that proves the rule.
Maybe (I would instinctively agree). But amount of code is not a good metric for almost anything.

What about amount of features? Time to ship? Time between releases? Number of bugs? User satisfaction? Development costs? ROI? Ease of hiring? Scalability? Reliability?

Not particularly saying an SPA is better at the criteria above (not saying it isn't either), but these criteria are way more important than "amount of code"

I used a similar approach for job hunting at one point. Perform a few interviews in an "exploration phase" where the purpose is less to impress the prospective employer, and moreso to get a pulse on the industry. You won't be able to separate company-specific red flags from industry woes until you compare & contrast a few places.
That's the trick.

"value isn't realized until it's sold" doesn't mean anything when you can borrow against your appreciated asset (tax free btw) to acquire more property.

I have a related idea. There could be an open, machine-readable format websites could publish updates in; and clients that could consume these "feeds" in the way the user chooses. We could call it really simple syndication, or RSS for short. Site owners could even include ads if they want, embed podcasts or videos, and offer different feeds for different topics.

What really worries me is that thinking about it probably the greatest positive influence you can have, at least in theory, would be to build something massively exploitative and unethical, siphon gross amounts of money out of the economy with it, and then insure that money is not spent unethically again.

A large part of why things are the way they are is because both wealth hoarders and consumers incentivize the status quo with their economic influence. Building systems, writing software, trying to raise awareness, etc does little to displace an economic system centered on exploiting weakness and maximizing profit. The most any one person can really, truly do is amass such a substantial portion wealth that they can dictate and control to be a force for good and not evil.
Letting people know your honest thoughts in a straightforward manner is important. I know plenty of folks who hold opinions along the same line as the person you replied to. They are usually various degrees of shocked when I give them civil yet straightforward pushback, and more often then one may think, when done in person, it leads to real discussion, and ideas outside of normal worldview enter both our minds. It is a good thing.

Thank you for the feedback. After a lot of thought I finally settled on AGPLv3 because it makes it easy for the users to use and benefit from any improvements developed by others.

I feel that it's the right way to do it. But I guess that only time will tell.
The video is pretty good.

If you want to make it even easier for people, you could try a set of "tumblr-style" extremely short animations/videos, 2 seconds each, without sound, and with a written description of each. For example, you can have one for opening qutebrowser, one for opening a terminal, one for switching between tiling/tabbed, one for resizing tiles, etc. This way, people would get a good overview of features at a glance without having to sit through a two-and-a-half minute video. It is also better for hearing impaired people or people not good at listening to English.

btw I run Sway on my laptop and it's really smooth and a joy to use. Thanks so much for this project!

"You can now return a car within 7 days or 1,000 miles for a full refund. Quite literally, you could buy a Tesla, drive several hundred miles for a weekend road trip with friends and then return it for free."

Yeah I mean, in theory that's great and all but in practice most people are going to have to go through a lot of paperwork and hassle to set up a loan or otherwise get the cash together up front. Even if you can get a full refund, test driving is still a much lower commitment.

That said, maybe supply is so much more of a bottleneck than demand for them that it's not worth the money to keep all the stores open. Or maybe enough consumers have cars now that owners are just giving test drives to their friends and family instead. I don't really know what the right decision for them is here, but the "oh well nobody needs test drives because of our refund policy" argument did feel a little silly to me.
