Wonder why this is getting posted today in particular?

The quick summary here is that this was a clean-house rewrite of Apache Storm done by an internal team at Twitter. As an open source project history refresher, Apache Storm was originally built by a startup called Backtype, and the project was led by Nathan Marz, the technical founder of Backtype. Then, Backtype was acquired by Twitter, and Storm became a major component for large-scale stream processing (of tweets, tweet analytics, and other things) at Twitter.

I wrote a summary of the "interesting bits" of Apache Storm here:

https://blog.parse.ly/storm/

However, at a certain point, Nathan Marz left Twitter, and a different group of engineers tried to rethink Storm inside Twitter. There was also a lot of work going on around Apache Mesos at the time. Heron is kind of a merger of their "rethinking" of Storm while also making it possible to manage Storm-like Heron clusters using Mesos.

But, I don't think Heron really took off. Meanwhile, Storm got very, very stable in the 1.x series, and then had a clean-house rewrite from Clojure to Java in the 2.x series, mainly to improve performance even more. The last stable/major Storm release was in 2020.

Storm provides a stream processing programming API, a multi-lang wire protocol, and a cluster management approach. But certain cluster computing problems can probably be better solved at the infrastructure layer today. (For example, Storm was developed before the whole container + docker + k8s focus in cloud ops.) That said, it's still a very powerful system; on my team, we process 75K+ events per second across hundreds of vCPU cores and thousands of Python processes with sub-second latencies by combining Storm and Kafka with our open source Python project, streamparse.

https://github.com/Parsely/streamparse

The core problems Storm solves: modeling data processing as a computation graph; high-speed network communication between threads, processes, and nodes; message delivery guarantees and retry capabilities; tunable parallelism; built-in monitoring and logging; and much more.

(Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention -- if you're interested in stream processing and distributed computing, we are hiring Python Data Engineers to work on a stack involving Storm, Spark, Kafka, Cassandra, etc.) -- https://www.parse.ly/careers/python_data_engineer

Interesting. Most of discussions I've seen explicitly deal with this, it's probably no2 topic (first being status updates).

And the advice given usually boils down to "don't run away from work, run TOWARDS something", which is perfectly sensible.

I doubt it has anything to do with attention span. I have a very short attention span, and the only reason I tend to prefer consistent interfaces is because many websites still don't support dark mode. I'd say the attention span is actually the reason I do not use the reddit redesign, because it just wastes my time at every corner and I hate UIs doing that. If your website doesn't let me consistently middle-click links it's going on my mental blocklist.

My guess is that people prefer having everything on one site because it makes the whole UX consistent. If we're being honest apps, websites etc. are wildly different to navigate and use, and when you're used to one site's behaviour and quirks it makes visiting other sites a bit more cumbersome. Especially if you're not using adblockers.

As someone who is somewhat dismissive of labels, I've started thinking more about this. In a context/culture where the way you act isn't as accepted/appreciated it seems labels are a useful thing to defend your way and for people to rally around (since a single term for something makes it easier to recognize, for instance).

I think it's natural for them to show up in the kind of culture clash that happens when groups of people who don't feel as accepted/appreciated try to make a positive space for themselves.

Pete Holmes, a comedian, talked about how he utilizes this technique. Ironically, instead of imagining himself laying in a canoe, he would visualize himself as a sniper, bundled up in a ghillie suit, hidden to the world while he awaits his prey.

I'd settle for a country where people don't riot when they lose a free and fair election. In the most severe US riot in 2021, the perpetrators were Republicans who violently assaulted law enforcement officers and ransacked the seat of our democracy. Many of them traveled from red states; I suppose these states must have severe social dysfunction?
I think it helped me a lot to "practice" by living on nothing but saved money for 6-12 month periods a couple of times earlier in life.

> So much of the FIRE discourse is about not working that many don’t realize that they’re going to be extremely bored with 16 hours to fill every day.

People are different, I suppose. Perhaps not in FIRE circles but this is certainly discussed regarding 'normal' retirement, and I don't feel the same way at all. I'm in my twenties, and honestly think I could fill the rest of my life more than once with non-work. Especially if I'm allowed to get paid for doing what I consider to be hobbies rather than work as part of that. At least one of those lifetimes could just be reading!

For better or for worse (for society), it appears healthy-weight people under 50 making the choice to not get vaccinated on a calculus of myocarditis, menstrual complications, blood clotting, and various other longer-term risks are, in fact, not being "highly irrational"
Agree, but with savings essentially zero interest the difference is in the noise. OP mentioned downpayment, which I (probably mistakenly) took to mean cash needed very soon.

Honestly I have no idea what to do with cash needed a year out. Bear the brunt of pain that is inflation, I guess? I mean, sure, buy gold, a traditional hedge against inflation, but for just a year? And it still seems speculative at best.

I think we don't talk enough about income gaps when discussing pricing for supply-constrained products.

75th percentile households have at least twice the income as a median household. And the 90th percentile nearly doubles in income again.

25th percentile households have half the income as a median.

If you live in an average household, and you get into a bidding war with three other households, it's pretty likely that one of those households can afford to pay at least twice what you can. Bump that up to 10 households in competition, and it's likely that someone in that group can afford to pay at least four times as much as you can.

This isn't even getting into the fact that household spending doesn't scale with income, so a doubling of income often results in more than a doubling in disposable income.

Good point. I just checked the paper, and it's true that the vaccinated population had proportionally more 60+ year olds (by about 3x).

As I read through this more, It's a bit surprising that out of 805,124 people (includes uninfected) under the age of 45, there were only 5 deaths. Haven't looked into the data for a long time.
Raytracing with SDFs is actually not that efficient compared to all the optimizations available for raytracing polygons. And raymarching in particular can be quite slow due to the constant iterative nature of that process.
I just installed jellyfin this weekend and I'm trying it.

IDK why there aren't more open source tools for this, IIRC Emby and Plex are not open source, and using a close source software for watching content from.. the high seas... is a bit risky IMHO.
To elaborate(and just slightly correct on this point).

The problem that classic primitive raytracing has had was that it never scaled well for complex primitives since you needed to solve the equations that could have many intersection points for a ray.

A plane (and triangle) has 0 or 1 intersection point, this is quite trivial to solve.

Insert the ray equation ( x'=x0+dxt, y'=y0+dyt, z'=z0+dzt) into the plane equation ( Ax+By+Cz = D) and solve for [t] that is the intersection distance as seen from the ray origin [x0,y0,z0] in delta units.

A sphere has 0, 1 or 2 intersections.
You again insert a ray equation into a sphere equations and after solving you end up with a classic second degree equation with a square root.

A donut can have 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 intersections.

All these are fairly trivial shapes, but you see how the code complexity goes up very quickly even here with more intersection cases to handle even for these fairly simple shapes.

Raytracing was used with triangle-meshes (with acceleration structures) in offline renderers since it still allowed for better lighting models with free-er ray sampling than normal rendering (and now RTX has put this ability in hardware for triangle soups)

Now, for something simple as a sphere and plane, raytracing is faster than raymarching.

The difference however is that since distance field raymarching only relies on a single value (the distance to the nearest surface) and SDF functions are trivially composable there really isn't any bounds on how complex shapes you can render with the technique, as long as the combination and core distance functions are at least somewhat conservatively "correct" in producing a single distance value (raymarching is can be forgiving for inaccuracies as long as they don't over-shoot).

So while raymarching isn't really super-fast, it's fast enough that most GPU's eats them up, since it can all be run in parallel without almost any data bandwidth.
(and the fact that raymarching often converges on "big" surfaces within a few iterations only needing more iteration in areas like borders that only take a small bit of the screen estate)
In this case, it's understandable that they need to improve their profitability, and laudable that they are not doing so by closed sourcing the product.
There's no such right and should not be. It would be a political and legal nightmare if we have every right under the sun you can think of.
