I guess this sort of depends on the sample set. If it was fed all webby award winners and sites from dribbble then scoring a 51 would be somewhat amazing. An exam has an absolute range given an absolute understood input. I suppose the weird thing here is that we don’t know the inputs. If mainly HN and UX conscious forms have been using the system then 51 is also good.

I don’t have an answer here but it got me thinking. Thanks for this demo! My company site scored a 72 and I might be happy about that.

> I wish there was some process to cannibalize the most useful crates.

There is, and this is exactly what has been happening. Early crates showed some of the weaknesses in the Error trait, and then they were addressed. Failure was created, showed more holes, and they were addressed. Now anyhow/thiserr/other stuff have happened, and their improvements may or may not make it upstream.

> Also is it even possible to standardize error handling best practices across entirely different software components like an OS kernel, a web service and a CLI tool?

Some of the details differ, but it feels like we're at that point to me.

> OS kernel should not panic? Service absolutely should panic ...

Both of these are specific implementation choices, and some people will choose different options for each of them. It just really depends. But with Result (and to some extent, the Error trait), there are means to share the bits that make sense. The core of it is broadly applicable even if some of the details change.

I'd be interested to see the results broken out by racial group. There is evidence that blacks do not metabolize vitamin D the same way that whites do, and the standard test for vitamin D concentration does not measure its bioavailability accurately. This could strongly affect the results depending on the racial distribution of participants. In other words this effect could reduce the significance of the results.

Here's a popular article on the topic. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2013/11/20/2463933... though there's plenty of research articles available.

The difference is that the test evaluated 25(OH)D concentration, and not 1,25(OH)D which is the useful (metabolized) compound. There is currently no standard test for the latter, which is why they didn't do it. Though I would prefer to see those results, it would be easier at the present time to parameterize the study by racial group to reduce or eliminate this effect.

That said it would be nice if we could all just take a nice cheap vitamin for this. Caveat: I am not in life sciences.

Edit. They do show a figure which breaks out the relationship by race. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/figure?id=10.1371/... and it is much stronger for African Americans. Perhaps my hypothesis was incorrect.

Well that still sounds like a cost issue to be honest, worst case is that coffee becomes a luxury item again.

The thing that the Bitcoin people got right is that the dollar is worth less than most people realize. The government can erase much of the debt by printing money. Owning cash is a bad idea. Sure the P/E of Tesla looks like a bubble. But what alternative is there to do with cash right now?

What does it mean to say that regulators are “nervous” about ETOPS? Regulators are always nervous; that is their job. If they permit something it is because they have determined it is safe enough.

It’s really weird to imply that losing one engine is a ditch situation. Modern airliners can take off on one engine. ETOPS 330 certifies them for operation on one engine for 5.5 hours continuously. They may have to descend a bit from max altitude but there’s a big difference between that and ditching.

More flights have experienced fatal crashes due to pilots flying a perfectly functional airplane into the terrain, than from both engines failing. On objective evidence, you should be more worried about the pilots than the engines.

“It’s a 4-engine ocean” is indeed an old expression.

University-level history is much more like this, at least these days, than "important people doing important things," perhaps partly thanks to the influential Annales school [1], although that probably varies by country. Lots of economic and social structures, plus lots of documents, mostly court documents, that tell the lives of ordinary people. I took a class just on the everyday "things" of people in early-modern Europe -- what they ate and how, what they wore etc.

What ultimately killed it for me was that after a few short years, when you get to the research level, the work becomes so hyper-focused, like shipbuilding in 17th century Spain or weddings in late-medieval Germany, that you don't have the chance to look at the bigger picture until you're an established professor and I didn't have the patience for it.

But I was happy to put the skills I had learned into a personal project a few years ago, and composed an anthology of primary sources on the history of logic, algebra and computation, that I published -- in a rather crudely edited form -- as a series of blog posts: https://pron.github.io/computation-logic-algebra (although intellectual history is often about "important people").

> 40+% of all investors are currently leveraged, which seems like an insane figure

This does sound insanely high given how many investors have passive portfolios. I'm guessing "leveraged" means something closer to "owns at least one option" than "would be wiped out in a 25% market correction".

As for people not being able to make rent if their investments go bad, there aren't many people who are paying their rent out of their personal savings and relying on their investments. Most people work, pay rent out of their earnings, and if they're lucky put some of the excess into savings or brokerage accounts. People with larger savings are likely to own their own home.

Of course, if there's a market downturn this will lead to bankruptcies, rent defaults and a knock on effect on landlords, lenders, etc. But the main causal method there is people losing their jobs, not their savings.
Anything but the last one doesn't really matter for my case. NodeJS app startup takes about 4-5 seconds at most. Binary could theoretically be well into gigabytes for it to make any difference. I'm a pure backend developer, so I don't use webpack.

Far from a disaster, it will be something approaching mandatory to restore faith in the institution. The disaster already came. But because this response would come in the future and the disaster happened in the past, some people have the psychological reaction of thinking that a new thing is unacceptable while uncritically accepting bad things that have already happened, which is called shifting baseline syndrome.

If I'm reading that right, Doom Eternal only uses compute shader rasterization for writing a lighting acceleration structure where they need to make some fine-grained/coarse-grained decisions depending on depth complexity. The scene is still using rasterization hardware.

Nanite uses compute shader rasterization partly because of the quad overdraw problem since they are targeting near 1 triangle per pixel. But they also say they are using traditional rasterization with recent hardware's addition of mesh shaders when it is faster (which remove a different set of fixed function stuff though, for transform, so still makes the same point).
That requires your network attached storage (NFS/iSCSI or something else) to be HA ;-)

I started booting from USB SSD a couple of months ago since I got my Pi 8GB, intended to use it as my low power consumption workstation replacing the Optiplex SFF Running Manjaro + KDE Plasma. Turn out to be, Manjaro ARM + KDE Plasma on Pi 4 runs pretty well (even all KWin eye candies work as well as the Intel HD integrated GPU on the x86_64 variant). However, USB 3.0 to SATA III SSD is clearly a bottleneck still. I am yet to check if NFS over 1Gbps ethernet can be faster (anyway, my btrfs backed consumer grade NFS may not be production grade to support 10+ devices).

Calling the progression and availability of technology a “lottery” is definitely a confusing term. It implies concepts totally unrelated with how hardware development actually works.

Hardware and software co-evolve! There is no such thing as people creating hardware ex-nihilo. This reads more like a researcher venting about his limited budget and development capacities.
That's pretty much exactly what Rust does. You sprinkle unwrap where you don't care or don't expect failure and it will crash there (with a backtrace), otherwise you can use the better error handling semantics of Result to properly handle the errors you care about.
Complete nonsense in the absence of any sense of why a site is designed the way it is. Is it a product brochure? Is it something functional (e.g. a search engine)? Does it target the general public?

> you've basically claimed that you're the best, and you're scratching your head...

I did preface my assessment with an outright admission that I don't know anything about what's going-on inside Apple's legal dept or exec team.

Even if Apple does have a cunning plan under wraps for coming out on top from this whole episode, it's demonstrable that Apple is directly harming their relationship with the wider developer ecosystem through their deliberate handling of Epic's case.

We both agree that now all of Apple's movements with Epic are calculated and and directed from the top echelons of the company. I feel you're saying that Apple's more aggressive and perceivably heavy-handed and retaliatory tactics have been deemed necessary and in the best-interests of the company - whereas I feel they're unnecessary and actually put the company in legal jeopardy (e.g. for contract-law retaliation, etc) which is definitely not in the company's best-interests. How can we reconcile our two different beliefs?

Pratt-parsers is a very underrated style of parsing.

Years ago when I was at Mozilla we built PrattParser utils in JS:
https://github.com/taskcluster/json-e/blob/386ae415d807eb066...

It probably had short comings, because it's been rewritten since (I haven't kept up).

But with a few rules and simple functions a pratt parser is rather intuitive, and easy to write and port to other languages.

I'd be very curious to see the next article :)
>What I'd like to see in the future is AR tech that rewards mobility and in-person interaction

I think everything you said was great up until here. Technology is part of the problem, so instead of just patching the symptom with even more technology, let's remove the cause: stop consuming, or rather, stop being consumed by, technology. You want to get away from the screen? Then get away. You want to go socialize with people in-person? Then just do it.

>marriage with technology will only deepen

It doesn't have to deepen. Nor should it deepen, because such a dependency to something too complex for me to reproduce or maintain myself is tyrannical; it is unhealthy to the individual. Nor can it deepen, because the resource requirements for producing and powering higher technology come at an ever-increasing cost, subsidized by the environment and future generations.

On the contrary, "dark silicon" instead suggests that separating fp32 and int32 (now in GA102/104, fp32 and int32/fp32) data paths at the cost of more die space usage currently makes excellent sense. (See also: tensor cores, ray tracing cores.) Jensen Huang very briefly alluded to this when during the GA102/104 announcement he mentioned the end of Dennard scaling.
I think this is missing the point.

We don't have access to China exactly because they keep us out and force our technology on their hands to get in there.

I mean like all ai, take this with a grain of salt, but I think there is an obvious bias in this to the 'giant hero image that goes all the way to the fold' design that a lot of low effort start-up websites use.

> I can envision a much better UX where your tabs become some sort of history entry where they are frozen in time (serialized to disk) and can be rehydrated.

Mobile Firefox already has this. Desktop Firefox might have a version of it, but I'm not sure (sometimes I see a loading spinner on a gray background for a while).

I think you're totally on the right track. What I envision is the ability to drag a tree of tabs into a bookmarks folder to get back to it at another time.

Fundamentally tabs, bookmarks and history entries are all just references to URLs (with a bunch of metadata) anyway. It's weird to me that the UX of these hasn't really converged all that much yet.

> Just because your app is stalling on db queries doesn't mean it's "IO bound".

OK, "IO bound" may not be the best description in this case. Because you're bound not by your ethernet card or operating system drivers, but literally by the work that's happening on a separate, database server's CPU. I should work on my terminology, thanks for the correction.

In my experience, it is usually waiting for DB. Regardless of whether your web app is well or badly written, it would get, at my estimate, would get no more than 5-10% request time improvement even if you made the app CPU infinitely fast, as 90-95% of the time is taken waiting for that database query.

But if you spend the same developer time rewriting all your ORM-generated n + 1 select statements to a single SQL query, you would still spend the same proportion of time waiting for the database, but your overall latency would get 10 times less. I've had some situations where I could get 10-20 time performance improvements by not touching application code at all, just tweaking the database indexes.

So, rewriting it all in a new language where you can, at most, 10% improvement, while you probably have areas where you can get 200-500% improvements seems unwise.
It was just something I remembered that I found interesting when I first learned about it prior to this article.

What's probably most problematic is that some sort of federated/interoperable/regulated set of social media sites probably means that one governmental or quasi-governmental entity still needs to make calls about the thing that's actually the real flash point on Facebook.
