The real problem that Codespace for stuff like the GitHub codebase solves, is not having to bring up the dev environment. Non trivial, organically certifiably grown commercial software has bunch of services that all eat different things in winter. And things like the Rails monolith that GitHub's main service is, have a tendency of being rude to a dev's laptop, squatting the place with whatever port and file they want laying around, installing packages and software to variously namespaced-or-not locations. If you deal with any set of service, they'll all have various hygiene standards and run well or not on your machine, depending on wether your machine looks like the core dev's machine. And then everyone famously wants a custom work machine with freedom to manage it however they want.

Codespace stuff is a way out of insanity. It's a mediated common ground. You could standardize on Docker or Vagrant or whatever, but they come with a lot of pitfalls and the local dev story with them all kind of suck. Codespace on the other hand is a solution that mostly doesn't suck. It's actually a pretty decent experience.
> [hardware-accelerated graphics abstraction is] a solved problem in C++

I think that would strike most people who work with computer graphics as a highly questionable statement. There's many, many different graphics abstractions out there for C and C++ alone, and none of them is The solution that is ideal for everything.

> > The rasterization techniques used in 3D are poorly suited to 2D tasks like […] antialiasing

> That’s subjective, I think these techniques are awesome fit for 2D. […] I have recently documented my antialiasing algorithm

Your comment actually reinforces the original author's point. You're using a completely different kind of anti-aliasing technique for 2D than would be used for 3D!

> Modern GUI frameworks are using 3D GPUs exclusively.

That doesn't make it easy. You don't control what the system UI framework is doing with the GPU.

Emacs has TRAMP, which does a very credible job of making remote resources appear local, not just to edits but to most Emacs libraries as well. Its most normal mode of operation is over SSH. It's not very hard to set up and it's pretty magical once it is. Even Magit just works. I was skeptical earlier this year, but 6 months later I'm doing 80-90% of my development in TRAMP buffers without thinking about it.

We also "allow" both but the size of the repo and build process are quickly getting out of hand for something to run on a laptop. In the past we had tools to manage the size of what an IDE had to index, etc. but these were abandoned in favor of the cloud effort, so to develop locally with any sanity you have to use years-old IDE versions and pretty much debug it yourself.

The cloud environment builds and runs faster but the autocomplete, go-to-definition, etc. are pathetic.

Ok. Plotly: if i read the docs correctly, Plotly converts python scripts to a web application and they can host the app for you. Lona is meant to be self hosted and runs the python directly. Streamlit: Streamlit provides an editor to create your app, and infrastructure to run it. Lona has no editor and runs on your infrastructure. I would say Lona has the smallest software stack of the three, and you have full control over it

There's nothing about jamstack that requires you to use third-parties (except the CDN part, I guess, but that's just a mirror). You could just as easily host your own CMS and database and call out to it the same way.

It's just that like auth, logging, etc, CDNs have been neatly abstracted out and service-ified in such a way that it's often more economical to go third-party. But that choice is orthogonal to jamstack.
That javascript is presumably fed by APIs, and often capturing the content of those APIs is better than capturing the rendered view.

> Without personalized advertising, businesses would be harder to start and grow, new products and services would be harder to discover and would cost more, and people would see less relevant, less timely and less interesting ads.

The years prior to 2010 or whenever they jumped into advertising would argue "You're wrong, Facebook."

> We are optimistic that new privacy-enhancing technologies will prove that personalization remains possible and effective as our industry evolves to become less reliant on individual third-party data.

"Evolves"? Or "Was shoved off the cliff when people actually found out what you were doing and were given the option to push?"

> As we work with the industry to answer these questions, we know businesses — especially small businesses — are counting on us to help them navigate through these changes. Many of them don’t have large marketing budgets — or even marketing teams — so they use our tools to deliver and measure their ad campaigns efficiently.

Would these be the small businesses that, during the pandemic, figured out that "paying to get someone to your site when they search for your company name is more expensive than people simply finding your site as the first hit when they search for your company name"?

The whole "Facebook, we care about small businesses!" shtick is getting pretty old and transparent. Facebook in advertising trouble? "Oh, but this will hurt small businesses!" Bravo Sierra.

Anybody who thinks that avoiding extra typing is the point of dynamic langauges, or that working in a dynamic language is simply throwing things at a wall to see what sticks is completely missing the point.

The whole point of dynamic languages is that your problem space is in fact dynamic. In many domains your data simply defies any ontology you try and force it into. Static typing systems themselves are somewhat acknowleging this problem internally with the differences between nominal and structural based typing system.

Dynamic langauges are about changing your view on data where instead of shoving all your data into and out of boxes that don't fit, you just see entities as arbitrary collections of attributes and thus typing them makes little sense.
"Idris 2" is clearly an influence. They both offer ChezScheme as a backend, for example.

There's two things happening in this post:

1. Development environments are running on Kubernetes, and VS Code is remoting into them. You don't have to pay a monthly subscription for that. VS Code remoting is free-as-in-beer and Kubernetes is free-as-in-speech.

2. The actual Kubernetes hosting is the product "GitHub Codespaces" running on Azure. GitHub certainly isn't paying a monthly fee to themselves for this; they are, technically, self-hosting it. I agree that you probably do want to have the option to run it yourself, but I think you do, given 1.

I'm not against the cloud, I use it in a daily basis. I don't mean you have to phisically own your servers. But it's not the same, to me, having your MySQL or Posgres DB up in the cloud, than using things like Firebase.

I just don't like the direction of moving the development environment to the cloud. It makes it easier to just consume third-party services and a) Don't understand how anything works, and b) Don't own anything.

If you know, fully aware, what the cloud implies, then sure, use it, but it's dangerous when the decision comes out of ignorance.

I guess there's not really much you can do about it though. People will do whatever is easier, and not everyone wants to know how things actually work.
I've found the support on the their support forum to be quite lacking. Often times, people not knowing the answer and making things up or not answering the question. So this seems par for the course for them.

I agree with Rand Paul.

For context, typically, I don’t go to YouTube for my public debate. I go to it for mindless entertainment and music, so my point of view might be alien to you.

I give money to politicians like Rand Paul, that I agree with, specifically so they can publish their views without being beholden to giant corporate sponsors. I feel he ought to publish this on his own website with the campaign funds that I gave him.

If he is somehow doing this in his capacity as a Senator, then he ought to use government funds to do the same.

I don’t think government officials should be allowed to strongarm or browbeat private citizens (i.e. YouTube) into giving them free publishing and promotion.
Re the idea that because someone interacted casually "the next day", they don't have a case: it's very normal for people who've been harassed to initially shrug things off, because it's just too jarring to their world-view to swerve their opinion of someone from "friend and mentor" to "creep". And it's very normal to come to understand that something was actually sexual harassment gradually, or when a third party says "no wait seriously that isn't right" and makes you face it. And then it's normal to be ambivalent about speaking up and take your time to do so.

Those are two different arguments about the efficacy of masks.
> It's a little unclear, because (like many things in public policy) there's several putative explanations for what caused the crises, peoples' preconceived notions color which ones they favor, and it's manifestly unclear who is right.

I thought 2008's cause was perfectly clear: the banks all sold insurance policies on each other (in the form of credit default swaps) that they couldn't fulfill. When one bank went under due to bad bets in the market, this triggered policies that, if fulfilled, would bankrupt the next bank. That in turn bankrupted the next, and so on.

People focus on the conditions that bankrupted the first bank, but that was just the final snowflake that happened to trigger the avalanche.

This 100 times. It seems that people confuse the term "Silicon Valley of X" with "overindexing in tech relative to expectations."

While all three geos were perfectly suitable for launching and running a startup, nothing comes even close to the experience of working in the SF Bay Area. There are many facets to this, but here's a very simple litmus test: take a meeting with a local VC and benchmark their behavior and expectations.

Well you have your files synced over ssh and also have a terminal over ssh which you use to run your tests. Am I missing something?

It's not just avoiding cloning the git repo. It's avoiding building all the dependencies and getting them configured and running. For most of my projects that's not a big deal but I expect GitHub has several databases with specific configuration, memcached or redis, maybe custom patched builds, etc.
I agree on that, and was going to add that, to be fair to the stack. But the reality is, while that's doable, most people just use third-party services, at least that's my experience.

Thanks for the compliment on FmcToJS! It is probably the most messy part of the whole project though.

That said, we put a lot of work on it and hell it does produce some satisfying JavaScript code.

I'm not familiar with that mechanism, do you have a link? The dependent function type, `∀ (x : A) -> B(x)` allows the type returned by a function call, `f(x)`, to depend on the value of the argument, `x`. The self-dependent function type, `∀ f(x : A) -> B(f,x)` allows the type returned by a function call, `f(x)`, to also depend on the value of the function, `f`. That is sufficient to encode all the inductive datatypes and proofs present in traditional proof languages, as well as many other things.

I find the comment that dynamic typing rejects relational design funny when dynamic typing is what makes working with relational data relationally tractable. Static typing falls down almost immediately when trying to work with your relational data and ends up requiring reams of glue or mapping frameworks just to make your relational data approachable.
