I kind of gathered that IBM had this sort of love/hate relationship with acquisitions. They loved the "new ideas" but many of the "old guard" hated the idea that something from outside of IBM was novel and worth pursuing. I watched first hand as things that had been done by a company that was acquired were buried while the exact same kind of thing done by IBM research was given lots of funding. I understood not having two efforts, but suggested they be blended to get the best of both teams, alas that was shot down.

At one time IBM research had a pretty awesome storage group, perhaps they will will have a computational storage fabric offering at some point.
thank you for your messages
Thank you for your in-depth article Darekkay.
I would pay good money to be able to talk directly to their SQLite, without any abstraction layer inbetween, to get some extra performance/lower latency - and I don't think I'm alone.

In fact, even if it wasn't SQLite but something non standard, I'd be interested in learning it and trying to make it work with my needs.
Nah, FOSS DAWs don’t even come close. Your friends are exactly right.
I was rather expecting that our presence online didn't disappear as soon as we went inactive. I don't want my message board messages to all get erased when I croak. Same goes for the pictures I share with others online too.

Not sure how this is not-an-issue for so many people. Thanks for the reply though. I really don't understand how I'm so far downvoted for what seems like the beginning of a new era where information starts to delete itself, whereas before it survived.
Have you tried gapic-generators? They aim to create a full client library from the protos (used to create google’s cloud libraries). E.g. https://github.com/googleapis/gapic-generator-ruby
Well, it seems like we parsed this conversation to the point where we found that we actually fundamentally agree on that issue. Thank you for a thoughtful conversation. Heck, even if we had ultimately disagreed, we went about the discussion productively, clarifying our points at each step etc. without insults or flame wars. This is why I find HN to be a unique community.

As far as I am aware, the Pinto was not special in terms of it catching fire than any other car during its time.

It was mostly extremely bad press that gave it a bad look.
On paper they've already done the whole MVP/product-fit phase and are using the money to fast-forward into $100m-$1B ARR territory. This thread is talking about a relatively minor update as part of that phase, and leading people to point out the various flaws in their product with the corollary that they aren't really worth $100m-$1b territory in the first place.

Then again who knows, surveymonkey is an example of a company that nobody thought would "get there" and yet they did.

It's a take on a very old joke, I believe originally about Rolls Royces. Unfortunately, I don't have a good reference to it; I haven't heard it since childhood, and all I can find via search is people selling bumper stickers with variations on it.
Grow Therapy | Head of Engineering | NYC, NY | Full Time | Onsite

We’re looking for an experienced and thoughtful Head of Engineering who is eager to assume far reaching responsibility over our software platform and engineering org. You will meaningfully shape Grow on multiple dimensions, including building our initial infrastructure with our CTO, leading recruitment and hiring, and defining engineering best practices. https://apply.workable.com/grow-therapy/j/B05FD70C62/

Grow Therapy (https://www.growtherapy.co/) enables behavioral health providers to launch their own in-network practice. We are proud to expand affordable mental healthcare one practice at a time. Since launching in July 2020, we received backing from leaders of Village Global, Harvard Medical School, Airbnb, Nurx, PatientPing, and Blackstone. we’re excited to expand our team and continue onboarding providers from our 200+ (and growing!) waitlist.
From one of the greatest articles I've ever read ( https://iism.org/article/why-are-ceos-failing-software-engin... )

> When discovering new value, drive to value; when scaling discovered value, drive to date. Meaning: don’t gate value discovery by setting arbitrary release dates.

In effect, a release date is nothing more than saying to the team, “we are going to give up on discovery of the actual needed value by <insert arbitrary date here>.” Of course, that’s nonsense.

Also, dates don’t increase the rate of learning from failure; they in fact have the opposite effect, the team will be much less likely to discover the value needed as they will actually increasingly fear failure as the date approaches, and they will therefore slow down the rate at which they are breaking things, which effectively puts an end to new learning – no more bugs found, no more value found.

If the customers need hasn’t been met yet, it’s just a huge waste and confusing to all involved to release something that doesn’t actually meet the need. It’s even worse to release something by an arbitrary date that has the appearance of meeting the need but is riddled with business risking- or life risking- levels of chaos.

Describing this as a clone is ok, if it is educative project, like all those “twitter clone” every framework has in getting started.

If this intends to become a real project, not only notion.clone is a bad name, it is also clear trademark violation and will be shut down very quickly.

I reckon they'd finally have to get R working natively on the new chip. I don't foresee Apple offering the fat binary support in the long term. It's probably only an intermediate solution for the transitional period. Also, does it mean the native version of R will finally work on the iPad? I know Apple doesn't allow compilers but there are a few examples like Pythonista and Apple's own Swift playground. It'd be cool to get R Studio on the iPad.
I am happy for you man! Sometimes success is just one step away as proven by your example :-)
I don't understand how Notion pages take 2+ seconds to load on 12-core machine with a gigabit connection.

And you can't load multiple pages at once, it has to be in focus!
The .so is a frequent issues due to corporate firewalls because it’s Somalia’s TLD. There’s also been a few incidents where spam/phishing is hosted on Notion before we detect it, and the abuse causes our domain name to lose reputation with firewall block lists.
By my definition in a platform/product sense unix philosophy = not trying to do all the things and being happy about it. But yeah, same idea basically.
It's also a question of framing. If we're talking about easy-to-measure things like total number of pages, or volume of traffic, or dollars earned, sure, the Internet is growing like gangbusters.

If, on the other hand, we're talking about murkier issues like impact on public discourse and its implications for civil society, or impact on individuals' psychological wellbeing, stuff like that, then the picture is arguably quite a bit less rosy.
No, but you're asking the question so you should at least define it in a way that gets it answered accurately.

Oh so the hundreds of Twitter clones shouldn't call themselves that? This doesn't look like a finished product meant for the public so it's fine I think.
I agree that listening to famous people on any topic that is not their area of expertise is a bad thing. That's caused by hero worship and lazy journalism, not highlighting the names of scientist who make breakthroughs.

I do think it's important for us as a society to recognize and highlight the names of people who make important contributions to science because it sets a good example for the kinds of contributions that others (i.e. kids) can aspire to make in the future.

An inability to use R Studio would be a deal breaker for me.
Those levels.fyi compensation reports are distorted growth in the value of RSUs. At time of hire, RSUs are typically allocated at about 10-20% of total compensation. In the case of many reports on levels.fyi, particularly high-growth tech companies like Facebook and Google, stock prices have multiplied in value several times over. So for those companies RSU compensation can jump to 50% or more of total compensation. That is not typical at all.

Levels.fyi data is also distorted because data is self-reported. Higher-earning individuals are more likely to report because it is a form of bragging. Similarly, lower-earning individuals are less likely to report. Also, workers generally want to increase the perception of higher average compensation to gain an advantage in salary negotiations.

A better general point of comparison may be the salary reports put out by HR consulting firms like Robert Half [0]. Those reports can be of limited usefulness, however, because they report very broad categories and salary ranges. Still, they're useful to know about because those reports are what Company X will cite for why they can't pay you what levels.fyi says is the average pay.

My sense is that Vandenberghe is great for getting your feet wet and building intuition, but it's not as deep as Strang in its coverage and has fewer problems. Definitely still worth reading through especially since the problems lend themselves well to working through with Julia or Python or similar.

That video is on Sporting Ammunition which is relatively low energy and shotgun shells which are reasonably safe in a fire. A rifle round cooking off is significantly more dangerous though without a barrel it’s below a normal handgun round, still the difference from that video is still shocking.

Edit: It's mostly true that ammo in a fire will just pop and maybe just throw a little brass a short distance.

BUT from that fire I'm witness to the fact that ammo can also "fire" with enough force to go through steel 50 cal ammo boxes and continue through such things as walls and cans.

Whoops, I wrote one thing while thinking the other. IIRC, the Democrats picked up a seat, which does seem to follow the statewide popular voting vs. regional voting.

Good catch!

Here is an easier argument for the nuclear anti-support: Green parties across the globe are spouting Chinese propaganda to further China's hold on the energy market (since they own 99% of rare-earth metals + a good grip on otherwise "green" energy manufacturing).
I like that this touches on some of the algebra aspects. I always find it strange when I see something about “linear algebra” that never mentions linear maps, vector spaces or bases. Perhaps the mechanics of computing with matrices is better for an introduction for people who are only interested in machine learning but the mathematician in me feels like it is important to get across that in some specific sense the numbers in a matrix are arbitrary and that the essence of the thing is simpler.

I’m a bit surprised that this doesn’t mention suffix notation, especially as multilinear maps are so common in machine learning and suffix notation is such a good way to work with them.

IMO this is little help. The root of the attack, ie, how the attacker injected the code into user browser is not shown. Traditionally attackers can change domain names within hours after they realized that the destination was discovered.

In my experience, cargo build (as of recently) is significantly faster than sbt compile (as of 3 years ago), but only a little faster than compile (as of 3 years ago) called from within the sbt shell.

This comparison is my gut feeling, on pretty small programs.

Money is plentiful, we need to stop hiding the fact that switching will cost us some money. Who cares, if we have a livable planet.

I argue that it's time for some politicians with a back bone and start enforcing laws and charging carbon taxes.

Those taxes will help (a lot) to pay for the myriad of green tech we need.

Just to be clear, PPC-Intel fat/universal binaries are still supported even on Big Sur, the PPC portion is just ignored. I don't expect Intel-Arm binaries to go away any time soon.

IMHO they were the first generation to get married out of ideas of pure romance, or at least the post-WWII idea of it. Before that so much was tied up with practicality. Without a working project to tie you together (the farm, keeping the kids from starving, whatever) a relationship can just crumble. In the post-WWII prosperity, the ideology of "true love" promulgated by pop music of the time, so much of it unhinged from the practical material considerations of making a living and keeping things running. When the romance ran out, often the relationships ran out, too.

Front door, firewalls, LB’s, AKS, Azure Functions, Azure Disk (in AKS), scale sets and file-share storage accounts.

All of it was painful. There docs were lacking or sent you in circles. The documentation for their firewall product is three-quarters known issues and errors.
Azure functions were painful to run locally, good forbid you’re not using Windows.
Azure would take ages to attach a node on K8’s. Like, over an hour. It consistently had issues moving Azure disks between nodes in K8s: “can’t mount disk, attached to another host” in comparison AWS will speedily and happily re-attach an EBS disk to a new machine.

Permissions were opaque and distributed across the whole interface.

It silently deprecated keys underneath us, broke a number of services (couldn’t write to attached disks in K8s, couldn’t move them), didn’t inform us that this happened, we only figured it out by trawling through GitHub issues.

Storage Account explorer application breaks/stops consistently.

“Alert but permit” mode on firewalls doesn’t do what it’s supposed to: it will permit, but totally fails to alert you.

Scale sets operate weirdly, I didn’t personally deal with this too much, but my teammates had consistent issues with strange caching issues and more or less machines being spun up than should have.

Until we fixed it, every Azure PoP was health-checking our web app 2-3 times a minute: our logs and servers were being flooded with literally thousands of pointless requests.

If you have an AKS cluster with n machines currently in it, with a minimum and maximum of (n, m) machines, and you want to say, increase the minimum number, you cannot: it will refuse and tell you “the minimum number of nodes must include the current number”, so rather than just automatically adding a new node (a la AWS, and I presume GCP), you have to force the cluster to scale up to the new number of machines by throwing workload at it, then make the change.

AWS has a single Python package called “Boto3”, from which you can do pretty much everything. Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has a separate Python package for every service, and sometimes subset of service. Do you know whether you need the package for Storage Accounts, File Share, Share Accounts, Object Store or whatever else they had? Also, authenticating against these was a pain: sometimes you need a key provided by the service (let’s hope your permissions let you see that), sometimes you need to generate a service principal for your app (unless there is already one? In which case it’s listed in the UI, but nowhere you’ll find it, and certainly not under “service principals”, and you probably won’t have the permissions to see the information you need anyways) and then sometimes you need both!

Azure let us spin up a K8s cluster on a version of 1.18, but then didn’t let us scale the cluster a few weeks later, because apparently that version just didn’t exist, so we should either use 1.17, or update to a newer version of 1.18, but you can’t skip point-releases, so you’re going to have to update everything in your cluster before you can have another node.

"Tesla battery packs are only warrantied for 8 years, and after that you need to pay ~$7k to replace them."

You don't need to pay ~$7k. That's about the full price of a new battery. The battery isn't dead, it just has a lower rating (likely over 80%). Even if that's absolutely unacceptable, it can be used to A) replace batteries that have hit 60% or some other lower standard for people who don't care about range as much, or B) act as a stationary battery.

Considering that cars are currently driven an average of "13 500 miles per year" according to US stats, 8 years is a little over 100k miles. Tesla has already hit the "million kilometre battery" mark (so at least two thirds toward the "million mile battery"), so it's kind of absurd to say you'd have any serious need to replace it 1/6th through its spec lifetime.

And now for a BONUS: in 8 years the price of batteries will drop, due to economies of scale if nothing else. So the replacement will be cheaper than your current battery was (hah, implying we all have EV batteries).
Indeed, though the only commonality is high secrecy.

Operation Gladio meant NATO's stay-behind armies. The original intention was that in the event of a Soviet/Warsaw Pact attack the stay-behind armies could organize guerrilla resistance and fight back.
