I have the impression it's a a lot less than there used to be though; when I was young Philips manufacturing was everywhere. Just 25 years later ... not much of it left. There does seem to be a shift from actual manufacturing to other industries.

Not that this is a bad thing as such, and it's not like it's all gone.

Also, because a lot of these companies don't produce the latest shiny gadget or manipulative abusive online website that would be literally illegal such as Facebook or Uber (both of which have little actual "innovation" outside of the business model), some people (Americans especially, it seems) seem to think Europe is some backwater where no actual high-tech industry is done, all the while typing on their computer made possible by companies such as ASML, FEI, Neways, and many more. Shrug.
I turned around at Bright Angel in the Grand Canyon this Winter. Despite being real bummed about it, I headed down Hermit's Rest which gets more sun and was no longer icy.

"Oh well, I'll settle today" I thought. Midway down Hermit's Rest I cross a much more experienced hiker -- she had lived in and around the Grand Canyon full-time for a year. She was only coming back to the Rim to move her car due to the incoming on-season (yeah, just a "casual" river to rim and back, lol). She told me she had just been around Bright Angel the day prior and had seen a girl be air-lifted away with a broken leg. Even though she had microspikes and months of winter experience in that park specifically, she bailed.

Suddenly, I didn't feel like I settled anymore... turning back can save lives and limbs. The majority of the time, nature (and the trail) will still be there when you return. It will certainly outlast you, if anything.

> zero-cost multi-threading

I think you mean zero cost abstractions. Which aren't usually zero cost, but just zero additional cost over doing it yourself.

There's no such thing as zero cost multi threading. Just tradeoffs. Rust actually doesn't help with performance here (it gets in the way often) but it definitely does help with correctness - which is truly hard with multi threaded programs.
Ah good, thanks for the clarification.

This made me laugh out loud. What a commentary on the current state of front-end development.

- Chrome uses a ton of memory. Is this necessary?

Cool!

Sequence diagrams are by far the most effective way to communicate system behavior.

Golden State Warriors becomes first professional sports team to launch an NFT
I can't speak from the point of view, directly, as a current web dev, but I'm 100% confident that the landscape has completely changed -- from the point of view of someone who looks at, evaluates, prototypes in new stacks all the time, and product/project-managed modern web stacks.

I complain here and everywhere about the insane complexity in modern-day web app dev.

The truth is that, after you learn the 20 new tools/technologies you'll need to become semi-competent in only one stack, it won't seem like such a massive shift anymore.

I think competition is not that fierce -- honestly speaking as I can -- but that's for corporate jobs, etc.

And you _have_ to be competent or good or really good if you're older.

Else, you're just going to sound...like you sound -- old and washed up.

Not saying you are, or I am, but once you're 25+, if you bring the 'Get off my lawn' vibe, your 27-yo manager-to-be is gonna smell it a mile away, and he's gonna be feeling awkward enough already.

So I think you can be fine, but you gotta actually know what you're doing, and you have to get/be modern.

Declarative Validation
Meh. The industry has spent the past 15 years preaching "emergent architecture and design." The fear of BUFD (big, up-front design) has shifted the pendulum to the opposite extreme: little or minimal design. So here we are. I still think there's a lot we can do with CASE (computer-aided software engineering) - just not in the way we envisioned in the 80s and 90s.
UML has the same problem as every other graphical programming language: nobody has solved the problem of diffing two versions of the 'code'.

Most code is verified for correctness by human eyeballs. I think many of us underestimate how important the 'diff' is with respect to incremental reasoning, which we do more often than not to keep the costs down. Once in a while we 'audit' the system, considering the model as a whole, but more often than not we are thinking in terms of deltas versus previous expectations.

Whoever actually solves the visual diff problem, I would be happy to see nominated for a Turing award. It's that big of a hill to climb.
It's just shilling.

> only fixed bugs or deprecated old features

When you get right down to that, you do end up with something like Rust. E.g. C++'s move semantics are weird because for historical reasons copying is the default. Get rid of those historical reasons, and there's no reason not to do it the Rust way.

40 years of "no big breaking changes" really is a lot of cruft.

I can't find in documents but does multi-threading effect consistency somehow? Is there a chance that I wouldn't read what I just wrote? I'm talking about single node, not about replication, cluster etc.

If it provides same consistency, is threading like :

sock_read();

lock(datastructures);

set x=3;

unlock(datastructures);

sock_write();
Hum... Let's not pretend that the discourse has been dominated for decades by people claiming that print-debuging should go away and that anybody using it is incompetent, and that the reaction was nearly all people just saying "nope, that's stupid, print debug if perfectly fine" without any complaint about anything else.

It's perfectly fine for you to want a step-based debugger. In fact, if there's anything not fine is that you should probably want more than that, but don't even get to see better tools around. It's great that somebody took the time to develop better tools and is trying to sell it... But, let's stop attacking print, because it's a perfectly fine tool.
You may not realize this but Apple allows scripting apps on their platform now. There are two notable Python language interpreters Pyto and Pythonista. There are some shell environments too that include Unix style command shells and different interpreters.

There's a typical expectation of manufactured parts or prepared wood for a wood frame building. (It's not instantaneous to season wood for house building, and it's longer than this structure drying)

I have looked into building a house a few month ago, the wait time for the structural lumber components to be manufactured to the spec - 3 months. "Raising the barn" part is hardly the long part.

The usage is ambiguous because it may mean something like the BMW M3 even at a higher price is now generating more sales than the normal 3 Series lineup but those sales are not included in these numbers.

Using the name of a car from an adjacent price range in the same segment is absolutely ambiguous, especially when Tesla is competing on price/performance.

If you want to abbreviate it then call it a TM3 or something. The M3 has been a car for 35 years and it's too similar to the Model 3 for that not to be confusing.
Re read the parent post. They write hobby apps that they clearly sideload themselves. They are also right, each iteration of the SDK takes away another feature of the device the app can access, regardless of whether you ask the user, in this instance the author of the app, for permission.

The end state is for apps on Android to be either pointless fluff that basically do nothing useful, or mega apps written by big corps where the rules don't apply. Hobbiest coders are not wanted, or accommodated.

> you don’t need to have full control over every device that can possibly run code

I argue that if the device sends data to third parties over radio/internet and/or the manufacturer can remotely push updates that changes the devices behavior then users must have full control.

Something like that should become law.

Then manufacturers can keep devices locked down as long as they stay out of the surveillance game.
If you can make half to 3/4 your salary doing whatever you want, or an extra 25 to 50% by working 40 hours a week, a lot of people don't feel the need to work. Also an argument against UBI. If people have their bills paid, many don't feel like working.

>"Rough consensus, and running code. We are not the Protocol Police."

Half the problems we have nowadays is because we have manufacturers playing "the Program Police", which leads inevitably to the point you just made.

You are now, like it or not, adversarial to any User looking to do anything you find unconformant with your bottom line. You cannot solve these issues by whitelisting, just like you can't solve the problem of crime by whitelisting, and hiding the conformance suite. If you can't know the test, you can spend infinite cycles changing the wrong thing to comply with it, and I do not find that to be a tenable state-of-affairs to push on users, even if intentionally aimed at the malicious ones. This is the same problem we have in meatspace with our overly byzantine legal system; but nobody accepts that secret laws are a good idea because if everyone can read the law, it's a national security risk. At least no one without some serious conflicts of interest.

Do you really think that your company is going to nail down a good solution to a problem that society at large can't even handle reasonably? I mean, think about it.

They are NOT kidding. Things can go from beautiful to ugly very quickly. 5,000 feet might seem like a joke to somebody from out west, but it's not all smooth trails (practically the same as pavement) with plenty of switchbacks like you're used to. When you're on steep nasty almost-technical terrain and its wet and hella windy, safety can suddenly be a long way away.

I know those mountains very well, I'm a strong hiker even by local standards, and I still make sure to exercise plenty of caution every time. Those rocks are not to be trifled with.
Has she been made aware that it's not her code? Or does she have a different relationship with the company?

Since you have a working example, can you code it up independently? It doesn't sound like she's of irreplaceable caliber, other than through bad luck, so producing the same functionality is probably doable by mere mortals.
AMD will probably "arm" up quickly, NVidia is acquiring ARM proper, Qualcomm won't sit still.

Intel? Well, maybe 12 months after they catch up to AMD in x86.

AMD's chips I've seen are decently competitive with M1. If ARM is a not-too-bad microcode adaptation and ditching a whole lot of x86 silicon real estate, AMD might be able to come to market quickly.

Intel isn't just getting pantsed in x86 by AMD and process by TSMC, they are seeing their entire ISA getting challenged. Wow are they in trouble.
Yeah, call me skeptical about this. Yes the technology is probably interesting, still.

It's a nice example of what happens when people have more money than actual issues. You're not solving the actual problem, you're just working around it by shifting the place where it happens (which is a good thing in a lot of cases, but not necessarily here)

"The economic model that supported most of the ancient masters was patronage, whether endowed by a wealthy individual, a religious institution, a university, a corporation, or - through the instrument of governmental support - by society as a whole....Think of how the emerging digital conveniences will empower musicians, photographers, filmmakers, and writers when you can click on an icon, upload a cyber-dime into their accounts, and download their latest songs, images, films, or chapters - all without the barbaric inconvenience currently imposed by the entertainment industry."

I guess we didn't quite get to that, but all things considered, we're not too far off? At least when compared to 20 years ago.

Yea that was roughly KeyDB’s original design. There’s some nuance in the locking like ensuring it’s both fair and fast so P99 latency doesn’t get out of control.

In the Enterprise codebase we can take snapshots which lets us do reads without the lock but it’s a bit of work to enable for commands so it only applies to KEYS and SCAN at the moment.
Are you concerned about AWS starting a competitor to keydb cloud/have you considered modifying your license to prevent that from happening? I'd imagine that'd be important in ensuring the long term sustainability of keydb development
> They conveniently don't track things like fuel prices or food because they are too "volatile".

Factually false. Its not very hard to search for that information. Just type "CPI Food" or "CPI Fuel".

US Food prices: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CPIFABSL

US Fuel prices: https://www.bls.gov/cpi/factsheets/motor-fuel.htm

CPI is the consumer price index, which tracks a variety of prices as an estimate of inflation. The sub-categories are tracked individually, and then averaged together into the overall CPI number.

Even if you distrust the Fed entirely, we can use CBOE futures (the futures market), which has historical performance on a variety of food commodities (pork bellies, orange juice) and fuel (sweet light crude oil). CBOE is literally the free market and non-government.

---------

Fuel prices are down over the past decade due to the uptick in US oil production. Remember $4+ / gallon US averages? (and $6+ in high cost places like Hawaii?)

COVID19 has also decimated oil prices. Other goods have gone up in price, but fuel prices are really, really low right now, pulling inflation lower.
It is a mix of all of it. It has changed a bit since there are more of a talent pool than ever before. Also, positions that used to have multiple engineers are now replaced by one, both my tech improvements and "budgeting". With that change you are required to know more than ever before, and a way they weed you out is having insanely hard interviews that a lot of times don't reflect the work you do(that is changing a bit as some companies are doing project based interviews). I recommend looking at "Cracking the coding interview"/leet code to help you pass those interviews.
This is reflective of where you are applying to, some smaller places as much emphasis, but it all depends on who your interviewer and how they choose to weed out employees.
My thoughts are that some people have a lot of money - so much that a sum of $660k is not as significant to them as it would be to the majority of people. Stuff is worth what people are willing to pay for it. But the other part of that is the value subjective value of the payment does not equal the objective numbers ($100 is a lot to me, but there are others who would waste that much without second thought).

Oh well, who knows how much worse I'd be if I hadn't grown up on a farm.
