Well, you're right, technically. But in that case, all terminal applications have latency, so is your point that the parent's complaint is unfounded?

In these kinds of discussions, the talk is usually about perceived latency not absolute latency. If it feels like there's basically none, then it's good enough. It doesn't mean there's absolutely 0.0 ns latency.

> Different people have different sensitivity to latency

This I can get behind. But I doubt that what seems instantaneous to me would seem "terribly long a time" to someone else, especially since I look specifically for this. As you pointed out, no terminal app has absolute 0 latency, so if one particular software has terrible latency compared to another one, the difference would have to be pretty huge.

Do note that I'm not talking about being bothered by the latency. I know a lot of people who will notice the latency when pointed out to them, but they don't really care. Personally, I hate when things lag, even if I may happen to have a worse perception than average (don't actually know if that's the case).
> The media as a whole shot themselves in the foot on this one

I don't have any evidence of this, but I don't think it was as accidental as shooting yourself in the foot. Media people know what they're doing.
Not really correct. Advertising incrementality is pretty easy to determine by in-market tests and statistical modeling or causal inference techniques. Feature Engineering for effective model construction does require a body of significant domain knowledge and so your average academic Post-Doc or FAANG data science type tends to struggle in this space unless they learn quickly (I've hired from both before). The space is dominated by large research vendors, specialist consultancies or in-house teams with accumulated institutional knowledge. All this costs though and pays out only if your marketing budgets are in the tens to hundreds of millions of dollars zone.

In a lot of Tech industry firms, the in-house expertise just isn't there to do this stuff and that possibly breeds skepticism. I've had fairly junior members of my teams head out to FAANG who've been shocked at how limited the depth of knowledge is.
What actually will happen is that those developers either will ignore gnome, force the application to run under xwayland if it detects mutter, or implement a really primitive decoration that will make users open bug reports "why is the decoration so weird?". They'll be taking similar stance as gnome devs and start telling users "it's not our bug", "report it to gnome devs".

>SSD might be the approach used by other desktops, but it is not the only way to achieve this functionality, and it may not even be the simplest.

Surely zero code in client is the "simplest". It also makes sure the decoration always works and behaves the same way in every application. It also won't stop working if the application freezes. Sure with a magical library that you managed to force on everyone at least the consistency and "not buggy" could be solved. But why is this necessary when others don't need it?

And I surely don't want to see, libkde-decoration.so, libgnome-decoration.so, libwhatever-decoration.so

I would have agreed a decade ago, but with the rise of low carb

A new small community getting critical mass is more difficult nowadays, because so many people are accessing the social internet primarily through mobile phones. That means that a lot of people expect a ready-made app, and navigating through a web browser to e.g. a phpBB forum and signing up for an account there seems too burdensome.

Then, because of the limitations of phone keyboards (even for those who boast of their touch-typing skills), discussion tends to get shorter and less information-dense. If you look at Reddit posting on some special-interest from six years ago, people were typically offering a couple of solid paragraphs. Now, most people there are writing one-line comments, and if you write the length I’m writing now, you look out of place. (People might even say "lol wall of text bro").

This is a weird aside, and almost certainly not your problem since it sounds like you're using Wayland, but for anyone else reading, I had slow start up times with alacrity myself, and sometimes getting a blank window, and it turned out to be a problem with xserver providing weird numbers for my monitor when it tries to figure out DPI, and `WINIT_X11_SCALE_FACTOR=1 alacritty` solves it.

Best I can figure its not really a winit/alacritty bug, but some gremlin with my particular monitor/gpu/nvidia drivers.

The 20% people remind me of the "sociopaths" in the Gervais principle[1]. They are the people who are just waiting for the right moment to make a play for the top. Doing the rest of the 80% work is not visible or important enough to catapult them to the top. The 80% is left for the "clueless" group who does all the work but never gets recognized or moves up.

It's as you say - crony capitalism and corporatism. The politicians/government are corrupted and bought by pharma corps to create a situation where competition and the free market is stifled, which leads to high prices as the inevitable consequence. It's a principal-agent problem in the context of having a large state/government with extensive powers to interfere in private business.

You see this playing out everywhere; e.g. agriculture subsidies in rich countries, which just serves as protectionism for domestic farmers at the expense of poor-country farmers. The fundamental causal factor here is the large and powerful state - private, autonomous actors will always try to corrupt and co-opt the state's powers for their own benefit (whether that's farmers, pharma corps, oil companies, hedge funds, tech firms, or whoever), so laying the causal blame at their feet is misguided since their attempts to do so are inevitable. It's a government problem.
To me, 80/20 is somewhat recursive. For 20% of the effort, you get 80% of the value. Then, within the remaining 20% of value, you can find another 20% of the effort that gives 80% of the remaining value. Repeat infinitely. As such 80/20 is a useful tool in estimating how much effort it will take to get to a certain level of perfection.

If you are working on a heart pacemaker, 99% isn't good enough, but you do have to define what is. How many nines of reliability does a pacemaker need? Once you have the answer to that, you'll be able to figure out how many iterations of the 80/20 rule you're going to have to go through to get the reliability you want. Obviously in real life it's not as clean as always being 80/20, but generally the idea that the last 9 of reliability takes as much effort as all the nines that came before it holds pretty well.
Shouldn't people who just made one bad decision be given lighter sentences than career criminals?
> You probably rely on a wallet provider

Nope, Cardano, Monero, Polkadot, Tezos and ARRR all kept in my own wallet--backed up with seed phrases.

I don't keep BTC as I think it's basically crippled (TPS). I have individual wallets for each on both my PC and phone. I'm staking DOT, XTZ, and ADA from my PC wallets.

> In 5 years you can name 5 hard forks in the major currencies.

BTC has been around for 13 years--not 5.

The forks are success stories. Further, forks grant holders equal amounts on each chain--so no coin is lost in this way.

The Hive fork remains a great example of on chain (Proof of Stake) governance, and having beat back a centralized hostile takeover, came back valued higher in post.

> A non-technical person can't do this.

I guess I long to work on teams where the outcome and the actual activity of working on the project are the primary motivators for the people involved, and not the associated status or credit gain. So when I said it seems to imply the work is not valuable, I meant in the view of the people working.
While I’m not an expert, stitching together images like that seems like a far from a trivial problem.
I used puppeteer (headless chrome) to generate image previews. Can use the Canvas API and/or WebGL1 and WebGL2. Can also auto-add titles etc... You could even overlay HTML styled with CSS (vs drawing text with the Canvas API) and use the Puppeteer API to take a screenshot instead of using the canvas API to capture the canvas.
How is that a remotely real comparison? The ansible mv function deals with preserving SELinux context, which mv doesn't do, and it automatically deals with a whole lot of common error conditions, whereas mv just fails. If you just want to replicate mv, Python has shutil.move, one line of code. Ansible is trying to do a lot more.

By the way, I don't know if this is the canonical implementation, but FreeBSD mv is 481 lines of C: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/master/bin/mv/mv...

I'm saying that mosts nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews, etc.) are not consumed purely for their calorific value. We have potatoes, grains, and vegetable oils for that.

Nuts are primarily used to add flavouring to a meal based on (say) rice, or as snacks rather than full meals.
Sure, it's more an observation of the mechanics underpinning cryptocurrencies. My statement was actually incorrect in that there are not actually "issuers" per se in crypto and that can be a problem.

Cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH and whatever else are not "money" in the sense that we generally understand. This money is either a credit on a commercial bank or a credit on a central bank. These entities are responsible for managing the liquidity and solvency of their balance sheet such that the credit you hold retains value (Yes, I know there is inflation but that's an orthogonal concern, I would argue). There is a governance and legal framework underpinning how money works in this "mundane World". Everything in the mundane world is a legal agreement. Financial agreements are always someone's liability and that's a good thing because someone is always accountable if something goes wrong.

Cryptocurrency behaves more like some kind of synthetic commodity. By that I mean that it inherently has no value and has no use for anything other than being a "token". When cryptocurrency is created, it has no issuer. There's no accepted legal framework or explicit governance framework for holding people accountable if something goes wrong (other than code is law) and things go wrong all the time. There are rug pulls, exchange rate crashes and project failures are ten a penny etc... and this is all happening while the crypto world is in a mega bull market! What happens when the next bear market comes around? All the projects that _seem_ viable now will suddenly become unviable. All the debt positions collateralised with sketchy crypto will unwind en masse. I suspect the tokens for many projects out there will trade close to zero. People who invested in various projects from algo stablecoins to lending protocols will suddenly find that they hold worthless tokens with zero recourse. By this point the insiders would have exited into BTC/ETH/fiat ready to start the next round of "projects".

Maybe this is OK. I mean, it is what it is and clearly some people are fine with that. I think we can do better though. That's why I'm interested in credit based monetary systems because reputation is a key part, so participants are accountable for their actions. This is fundamental for any significant real world adoption. Furthermore, credit based instruments do have intrinsic value which is a function of issuer credit risk. Such instruments are more stable than "synthetic commodities" and have more utility for real world uses.

Having said all that. I work in the crypto world and quite enjoy it. I just don't think it's as good as some would have you believe.
I haven’t used AWS in a while but one trick that I recall was enabling service X also enabled sub dependencies. Instantly disabling service X didn’t stop services XYZ which you continued to be billed for. Granted not that expensive, but it still felt like a trap.

Other stuff was more debatable, but it just felt like dancing in a mine field.

> We have literally decades of experience with these. We know for a positive fact that simple concatenation is dangerous.

Yes and no. I agree with the overall premise that the footguns are well documented, but at the same time, projects like this show that there are still large segments of developers who will gleefully shoot themselves in the foot because they never took the time to learn shell, or they just never had the opportunity to earn the battle scars.

FWIW, I work in AV eng/research and have never heard someone say this. Most of the people I know in the space are pretty clear-headed about how dangerous human driving is.

We are generally less optimistic about timing, but that was more true a couple years ago (before all the big cos' 2019 deadlines got pushed back) than it is now. Current timelines seem like an achievable challenge to me, and I don't think I'm unusually optimistic.

Musk's timeline pronouncements, as usual, just aren't taken seriously (and imo hurt the industry's credibility). I like the guy and respect what he's done, but for whatever reason he says really out-there things that are best ignored until he shows the receipts.
'Study' is a strong word for what's being reported.

> Keep in mind that the average age of the SSDs Backblaze uses is only 12.7 months old, whereas the average age of its hard drives is 4x older, 49.6 months to be precise. Also, Blackblaze uses SSDs as boot drives alone in its servers, so these SSDs could also have less of a workload compared to the actual hard drives where are constantly being used to backup client data.

Since ML monitoring is rather a broad term that can be applied to model development, evaluation, retraining and production stages, I'd like to give more context on what Graphsignal is designed for. Our focus is the operational aspects of models deployed to production, e.g. incoming data validity, sudden drift in input and/or output data, etc. making it possible to troubleshoot issues when they detected. So it designed to help MLOps, DevOps and SRE teams to ensure production models' performance and availability.
This reminds me of the first bubble. Everyone on the inside were looking at each other as stock and salaries skyrocketed thinking this was crazy and unsustainable. But we all just shrugged because there was no stopping the hype train.

Here, anyone even just tangentially involved or know the some details of AI/ML are highly skeptical that Elon's vision of self driving cars will occur in our lifetime. Yet, Elon keeps pitching it, the press runs with it, and the public grabs it up, patiently waiting.

I remember growing up in the 80s and picking up disdain for COBOL because it was verbose. But then,

1. I recently found out that COBOL can calculate numerics to a degree of precision greater than most languages and libraries. It was a PITA to do monetary calculations right and it is built into the core of COBOL.

2. Reading the sample COBOL code, I realized though I can’t scan it fast, it is structured in a way that is not much different than reading or writing SQL.

3. Having written Ruby for 10 years, and spending a lot of time with DSLs and business domain languages, the aims of COBOL is really not that much different.

4. Having taken the long path through learning the design philosophy of Smalltalk, Christopher Alexander, sandstorm.io, Free Software, as well as my evolving thoughts on “regenerative technologies”, I am coming to the conclusion that it is important for end users to be able modify their computing environment for use in their local community. As such, COBOL may be a good case study for designing pattern languages.
I dont think it is going to backfire, I think everything is going exactly as they want it to go. Look at what is happening to the Uighurs. They are actively running concentration camps for millions of people and governments have for the most part just shrugged their shoulders. This is a massive boost to the Chinese as they now know they can get away with massive human rights violations with no consequences. Their airforce and navy is modernizing at a fantastic pace while the US has sunk a trillion into what for all purposes appears to be a dud in the JSF. They have the new silk road initiative under way, have built massive influence in Africa and are essentially claiming the entire south china sea for themselves. The Hong Kong situation is close to resolved and the only thing the world did was watch a few youtube videos or maybe wear a slogan on a tshirt. The next time there is an isolationist US president they will likely take Taiwan. They have all the time in the world.

I get all my domestic news through Reddit. I think your perspective on Reddit as a social news site spends on which country you live in and how healthy your country’s subreddits are.
I feel like a clearer distinction needs to be drawn between open-access journals that are offered by non-profit learned societies (often no charge to publish), and open-access journals that are offered by the for-profit publishers (often high charges to publish).

I don’t have a permanent post in academia and am often away from funded positions while I do other things with my life, but I remain interested in my field and I publish the occasional paper. I can do that because I don’t need to pay to publish in my field. But OA journals that are pay-to-publish discourage contributions from those who aren’t lucky enough to have a grant-soliciting apparatus behind them (or lots of money to pay out of their own pockets).
Java still rocks the finance industry
I don't disagree. But, at the same time, especially in a more macro sense, if you theoretically make advertising less profitable, you tilt things towards a world that makes it harder for people to trade their attention for product. So there are fewer options not to just pay money for things. Which is probably fine for most people here, but not everyone.
