I was agreeing with this article until:

> Consider a fast single-file database like SQLite

Sure, it's nice if your application is optimized enough that it could run on a single server. But it seems to me that actually tying it to a single server, with local storage on that same server, in production, is irresponsible. I sure wouldn't want to have to explain why the application went down, and will come back running a possibly out-of-date DB backup, if that single server suddenly disappears. SQLite may be faster and simpler, but to sleep well at night, there's no substitute for stateless application servers in front of a managed database.
They should probably differentiate between Rosetta 2 issues and Big Sur issues.

> Actually I think private insurance generally had the potential to be much better than public insurance

Why? Maybe private care is better than public care, i don't know, but insurance? Swisslife (one of the best/most efficient in my country) reimburse 65 to 67% of their anual income, so roughly 33% of what you're giving them goes into administration/coordination fees. Public insurance? 20% of the money they receive via taxes are used for administration/coordination.

So if i had a choice, i would pay a premium on public insurance (more taxes, or instead, asking my bosses to give the 120€/mo to the public insurance instead of paying swisslife). Better ROI.
I'm not sure that there's a deep cultural issue with this, I think there's a pragmatic issue. 99% of television drama can be replaced with a text message. It's incredibly difficult to tell a suspenseful story when everyone can communicate with everyone else instantly at any time. Can you imagine The Shining in 2020? The guy would be driven insane by browsing reddit. This is why it's very difficult to make modern TV programmes that have realistic phone use.
To quote Balmer - "Developers, Developers, Developers!"

I absolutely agree with you - The vast majority of folks don't give a rats ass about the technology.

But I don't have to convince those people.

I have to convince you, and me, and the other developers that will read this thread.

We're the facilitators that make that hardware useful to the average person. We matter SO much more.

So I'll add some more - Don't take a job at Apple. Don't develop for Apple. Don't advertise to all your non-technical friends and family that you support Apple by buying their shit.

I'm not so convinced that x86 really had an architectural advantage. What Intel had was an enormous volume advantage, which allowed them to throw more resources at their designs than the competition.

In fact, Intel had such an advantage that they managed to bet on a completely failed architecture (Itanium) for more than a decade and not only maintain market position but knock out most RISC architectures during the time.
Well, it's not black or white.

There are opinions that I don't agree with that I think are still completely legitimate and perfectly moral.

There are opinions that I take serious issue with and may even find immoral but for which I'd still claim that it's worse to try to suppress them than to allow them.

And then there's stuff like incitement to violence or the president of the USA spreading dangerous lies about an election ... tolerance can only go so far.

Of course, it's a difficult call to make. Of course, no matter what you decide, someone is going to be angry. But you can't just not decide, you do have to take a stand and by refusing to do so, you have effectively already decided something (that's the whole point of Sartre's philosophy btw, which was inspired by WW2).
Teams has on the order of 75 million daily active users, but it's the typical Microsoft story. Not widely talked about among startups, but totally ubiquitous in most companies.
Systemd struggles with this as well. While a service can easily tell you if it's "up", sometimes the only way to determine if it's "available" is to check. Keep in mind that the sentinel for any given service will be different. If you think about it, how could any external monitoring service determine when a service under it's purview is available without actually checking?

Maybe it already has something like this, but I feel like systemd could provide an API endpoint for applications to send a simple status when they are "ready" - at which point it would be up to the developers to provide that at the right time.

Running all cells has its disadvantages, but what I found out was that often, there are bugs elsewhere than in cell n_2. I treat that as unit tests: run them all because even though I think only this is breaking, fixing it could have broken some other part.

> In C/C++, the dimensions of an array must be declared at the beginning of a function)". First, no opening "(". What kind of Lisp hacker does this? Second, both in C and in C++ functions can (of course) take variable-sized arrays. (And, there is no such language as "C/C++").

In c, an array has fixed size and dimensionality. You can, of course, create your own data structure using a pointer which allows you to access an unbounded number of objects; but that, in c parlance, is not an array.

And in c89, all variables must be declared at the beginning of a lexical scope (though not necessarily the beginning of a function).
Are there good articles on the benefits of async over something like PHP-FPM?

At $WORK, we run a lot of 1000s of php servers with 10-20 processes each using nginx. External calls we don’t need the result of immediately get kicked out to an external queue, but we haven’t seen any issues with DB calls blocking the whole server.

Long or slow DB connections are an issue for individual request time and DB load though (the biggest DBs we run handle 1000-2000 concurrent connections).
Experience has taught me no longer to be surprised when finding code that determines the number of items in a list by making a SELECT * call to the database and calling .size() on the resulting list and doing it inside a doubly nested loop. Sometimes finding improvements to the order of magnitude is less difficult than it ought to be.

A good design + a 1 node (15% transistor level benefit) advantage + embedded(ish) HBM. You kind of expect 15-30% benefit in the same design. Whether CPU or bandwidth bound. Some latency bound benchmarks will be at par.

It is a perfect hit on all cylinders: a good design, a node advantage, and better memory.

This has happened before. We have been at a recent lull in performance, but annual performance increases used to be about 30%.
It seems like there's a lot of friction points with this model and perhaps a bit too much world building. In general, I have trouble understanding the allure of this approach.

Podman, buildah, and skopeo are insanely awesome tools that let you transition an image from a public registry to your own private deployment in a jiffy. The article doesn't mention it but podman can also dump a pod configuration you can use in kubernetes and open shift/okd so if you're not a yaml wizard you can still get stuff running containerized.
I mean... you're talking about exactly the same behavior as Gnome with a dock. I have a single application icon, clicking it once brings up the last window I had open. Clicking it twice displays a preview window for each open window, any of which I can click to fullscreen and focus.

It's literally the same as the macOS dock, complete the with the dot indicator for number of open windows.

Plus my upper left hotcorner displays all application windows, and I have my upper right set to display each window of the current application.

They're preeeetty much identical.

I'd know - I use both daily.

Oddly enough, Samsung, SanDisk, and Sony are the three brands I've had die on me.

I've had one Samsung and a couple SanDisk SD cards die in Raspberry Pi's. I'm currently using MicroCenter, AData and one other lower tier brand that have held up much better than the name brands.

There are some reasons to use docker in docker beyond debug docker itself. For example, in Jenkins case, select specific proxy settings for the daemon for a specific job without affecting other jobs in the same node.
The publicly-available datasheets for the SoC in the Pi are incredibly, and as far as I can tell intentionally, incomplete. The SD card controller is just one of the things lacking public documentaiton.

A better question is: am I ready for locked-down silicon?
As a Japanese native who's fluent in English, I disagree with this. I regularly translate English (mostly technical) texts to Japanese, and the translation I get is roughly the same size as the original. Its density is certainly not "very low".

The reason that you might think that Japanese is more "bloated" is probably because the form of the language you hear most - in TV news and speeches - are in the "polite" form. In that case, they mean to be verbose. But in the casual form, the same thing can be said much shorter.

Also, keep in mind that Japanese has a very different phonetic system. Their phonetic intuition is mostly based on "mora" and many find the notion of syllable confusing and inconsistent. I don't think these two are very comparable (at least mentally).

It's funny that you mentioned that a Japanese newspaper looks more "crowded" than English one. Japanese people would think the exact opposite. The "information density" is really in the eye of the beholder.

> That alone isn't sufficient. Germany is built on private insurance […]

The difference is profit motivation.

Germany does have private insurance, but there are regulations on what insurances companies can have margins on:

> As of 2020, salaried workers and employees who make less than €62,550 per year or €5,212.50[28] are automatically enrolled into one of currently around 105[29] public non-profit "sickness funds". The fund has a common rate for all members, and is paid for with joint employer-employee contributions. The employer pays half of the contribution, and the employee pays the other half.[30]

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Germany#Health_i...

Similar in Switzerland:

> Insurers are required to offer this basic insurance to everyone, regardless of age or medical condition. They are not allowed to make a profit off this basic insurance, but can on supplemental plans.[3]

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Switzerland

With US health insurance companies profit is job #1.
Okay, you're right. I should have just said majority.

I didn't mean it statistically, just that most americans are insured, either by purchasing privately or by their employer. It's an internet comment not a journal article.
Do you install linux on the Chromebook, or do you use one of the methods of running a linux userspace under ChromeOS?

I've been using a Chromebook for linux stuff with Crostini for a while (before that I used Crouton). With some frequency something (me or an update) manages to bork things up and have to reinstall the Crostini subsystem, which wipes out all my stuff (things that I care about are usually backed up).

It happens often enough that I'm thinking about going back to a dedicated linux machine, since I think probably that would be more stable for me.
For what it’s worth, I have the same experience with Pop OS! during the past year.

Steam is also at a point where I can just install native windows games and run them with barely any trouble.

I support moderation by private companies on private platforms on the basis of property rights, and the right of free speech for those companies.

I support criticism of moderation decisions on the basis of freedom of speech for individuals.

You're allowed to say whatever you want, but if you insist on using my property and resources to say it, that's an infringement on my freedom.

These positions aren't inconsistent.

> If you support a system with moderation (censorship) based on peoples beliefs, then you should not complain when the system you supported is used

Again, now you're arguing against free speech. I'd never tell someone they shouldn't complain about something because they said something I didn't like. They're free to complain all they like.

I keep looking at Sorbet, and I have since it was in private beta. It just seems to be so so much work to get anything out of it. Last time I tried it was last year when I was at Rubyconf in my spare time on a microservice.

>So? They are as free to express and act on their opinion of private actors expressing pro-LGBT messages as people who believe otherwise are to express the opposite.

The last time someone didn't want to bake a cake, they had to fight their way to supreme court... so yeah, expressing your beliefs is not an easy task to do.

The problem with beliefs is, that they're arbitrary, and a tiny variable can make a good thing a bad thing. Rape in a movie? Bad thing. Crime, thriller, etc. Rape jokes, bad. But wait, if you just change the gender of the rape victim to a male, you've got a hollywood "satirical erotic romantic comedy" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/40_Days_and_40_Nights ).

So, rape jokes are bad, and deleted ( https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-15641998 -here facebook even stood with free speech, but bent down soon after), but if the victim is a man, you can shoot a comedy and make $95M. And it's far from being the only movie with such cntent ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nheskbsU5g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc6QxD2_yQw ).

Why is one (morally) ok, and the other isn't? Who decides that? If we censor one, shouldnt we also censor the other? Or if we let one online, why not let the other? Is it just a personal choice of a trigger happy moderator? Or is there a written, official moderation rule, where content with rape is ok, if the victim is a man?

premature optimizations being bad is a tautology.

But I think it's a stretch to say involving more diverse viewpoints is worse than not.
Yeah, I think the article makes a good point on the impact that optimization can make but I use the same strategy that you do at my current job. Early on it just makes a lot more sense to focus on what can generate revenue.
