Hello, I’m Cameron and one of the two people working on the Bonsai web browser.

We’re focused on making a web browser for programmers to improve their workflow. It helps you look up docs and search information. You can toggle it on with a hotkey and it can overlay on your IDE. Tabs are grouped by domain for easy organization. The history data structure is a tree which shows how pages are back-linked to each other and to spatial workspaces. Both open tabs and pages in your workspaces are just pointers to a node in your history tree!

You can watch a 2 minute video walkthrough here https://www.loom.com/share/93c7c0012f514c37b58a42fa65badc88 or download it from our website

How did we end up here?

Initially we wanted to make a citation manager because myself and a friend had an unconnected workflow moving research articles from Chrome -> Zotero -> Emacs org-mode. After talking to some other PhDs/postdocs the takeaway was that everyone has very different ways of doing research. This would mean that it would be impossible to make a citation manager that everyone would want to use.

Later, a friend in industry mentioned that he had a hard time finding ‘cloud documents’ as part of his job. We then considered making a spotlight application to find and organize these documents. It turns out that this already been done and it seems that people actually just pull up their documents once at the beginning of the day anyway.

We now think that the main problem is that web browsers are actually not currently suited for doing research. The current mixing of research type browsing with web-documents creates a mess and makes people think they want a ‘cloud file search’.

What’s different?

Instead of an add-on solution to Chrome which would create more noise, we are creating a fully functioning, organized way of managing information overload and keeping you on task as you go through your work day.

What’s next?

We are fixing up our Linux and Windows versions for public use.
It wasn't really the media doing that. It was more a combination between nut heads, meme heads with their umbrella-connection and the first panic. The media just amplified it and rode the wave, as usual. And after the message was out, it was hard to turn it around. And I guess the platforms were just unable to distinguish between them, as also had more interest to wait till the nutty wave died down.
In all my experience using wikipedia it has been successful at providing facts and accurate references.

I don't mean to attack the speaker here, but that former cofounder of wikipedia you just cited... isn't he an extremist neo-conservative? Why did he leave wikipedia in the first place? What are his proposed solutions?
I empathize with the author's struggle and the pain of having to use the C++ API to generate LLVM IR. It's not relevant to Go, but the OCaml LLVM bindings are kept up-to-date and the documentation is there, though there's very little tutorial material to be found. Still, I find it much cleaner and nicer to use than C++.

Trying to generate LLVM IR from scratch seems like a lost cause; when you realize how much the library code is keeping track of for you to make it possible to emit correct LLVM, you know that replicating all that just isn't worth it.
> But simpy put; on modern disks the logical block address has no relation to the position of the head on the platter.

WD kind of tried that with device managed SMR devices and they show absolutely horrible re-silvering performance.

Without a relatively strong relations of linear write/read commands and their physical locations also being mostly linear, spinning rust performance is not on a usable level.

When you work in a job with no required skills, yes you are (at least until recently) an easily replacable cog. The employees who realize this work to gain skills, become more valuable, and become less easily replacable.

I have worked in fast food management (decades ago, started as a minimum-wage burger-flipper while in high school), and the last thing the employee schedules are based on is "management whim." Labor is the biggest controllable cost in a restaurant and you always base schedules on projected sales volume. We had schedules posted at least a week in advance and followed employee's stated availability. I'm sure, though, that not all retail/restaurant businesses are this professional.

And now that $15/hr restaurant jobs are going unfilled, I guess people aren't so easily replacable. I would not want to be running a restaurant in this economy.

Because bitcoin is legal tender, there are no capital gains or investment tax in El Salvador. You can spend received the funds with no tax implication. This is a big deal for a country with so many folks unbanked and use international remittance services.

I have come to realize that most people have no idea how much freaking money people are making in the corporate world...especially in tech. They simply have no exposure except to opportuities or jobs that take a decade or more to work up to the salary that barely-graduated college kids are being pushed to in tech.

We are talking about whole population segments that dream of one day making $75k. They know that tech pays well but have no idea how outlandish the pay is compared to their experiences and expectations. They think their counterpart is tech is making $10k more than them, when in fact they are probably making $50-100k more.

For their next release, they should rename the project into OpenTLS and go back to version 1.0.

I think the advantages (it's funny) would heavily outweigh the disadvantages (everyone would hate them).
Their Tor have issues as i understand it.. eg redirecting to clearnet anf Old version and requiring phone number. But they say vpn would have solved it…

To quote

“ There's an important distinction here. Under Swiss law, email providers fall into a category which requires us to comply with certain legal requests. Swiss law does not have a provision which could force a VPN provider to log.”

“ With VPN the legal principle is different. Thousands of users might be using the same server, logging them all would be assuming everybody is guilty until proven innocent. This is considered to be disproportionate. In the email case, it is possible to request information on a specific user, and that is considered to be proportionate.”

Have found static builds of awk useful in low-dependency work. I bundled it with a windows installer to do some wrangling we needed at install time. Another time I was sending packages to a unix cluster, but did not have access myself. Used awk as part of the bootstrap for the package.

I used to write event-driven scripts off it - each line is a message, interpreted by awk. Something I was not able to get working with any of the awks I tried was where you append messages to the file as you are consuming it (this is kind of like code generation). I ended up doing this in python (https://github.com/cratuki/interface_script_py).
For sure. If we're going with the common pronunciation of Roman numerals in English names, it's "Tenth". E.g., We don't say "Henry Ford III" as "Henry Ford Three" but "Henry Ford the Third".

Describing Marc Lore as "Former Walmart executive" is true but selling him short. He founded diapers.com (sold to Amazon), and later Jet (sold to Walmart).

I am curious to see how this experiment unfolds.
I’m in agreement here.
RAM bandwidth scales with the number of DIMMs used, e.g. a current AMD EPYC machines can do 220 GB/s with 16 DIMMs per spec sheet.

How well does NVMe scale to multiple devices, that is, how many GB/s can you practically get today out of a server packed with NVMe until you hit a bottleneck (e.g. running out of PCIe lanes)?
The USA thus has authority over servers that are in Texas, iirc.
You're conflating college with student loans. Not everyone who goes to college comes out with tons, or even any debt. Additionally, federal loans for undergraduate degrees are capped (to ~$35kish right now). It is graduate school where people end up with six-figures of high interest debt, as graduate loans are unlimited.

You don't need to go to college to be successful, but the data speaks for itself. College graduates have always, on average, earned more and enjoyed significantly lower unemployment. Even if that weren't the case, the fact that college-level jobs are easier on the body and people can generally do them well for 20+ years longer is a huge benefit.

I was raised by two blue collar people and my parents were big on college. My father worked as an electrician and even by the time I was 16, his body was starting to give out. He's basically unable to ply his trade at this point due to several complications related to his career, and works a near-minimum wage office job now. I'm sure he would gladly trade half a years salary when he was 18 to get an additional 20 high-earning working years.

> Or are you saying that Track programs should genetically test for this gene and drop whoever doesn't have it?

They don't have to. There is almost certainly a lot of self-selection going on. Anecdotally, I got one of those genetic kit tests done 10 years ago, and it included results on a "fast-twitch vs slow twitch muscle gene". I, who was a sprinter in high school who struggles immensely with long distance running, unsurprisingly have the gene for fast-twitch muscles. My wife, who has never participated in any kind of sport involving sprinting at any level but competes in long-distance races, unsurprisingly has the slow-twitch gene. Neither of us had any of these genetic tests available when we got involved in these activities. We just learned over time what we were naturally good at and what we struggled with. Does it mean that I can never run long-distance at the level my wife does, or that she could never have competed in sprinting? Maybe, but not necessarily. However if possible, it would take far, far more effort than sticking with the things we are good at.

Between people gravitating to what comes naturally, and other filters (like making or being cut from a track or XC team), a lot of the genetic filtering already occurs without actual testing.
On a related perspective zswap (Linux) is surprisingly efficient if the system isn't CPU-bound.

It is "a Linux kernel feature that provides a compressed write-back cache for swapped pages, as a form of virtual memory compression. Instead of moving memory pages to a swap device when they are to be swapped out, zswap performs their compression and then stores them into a memory pool dynamically allocated in the system RAM"

That was sort of my company's IT story.

In the beginning they needed AD because business is heavily Windows centric.

Then they started using Windows Server for DNS, business apps, shared volumes, etc...

After I joined I started separating concerns / reducing blast radius and now we use Windows Server for AD and a few apps that are Windows only.

Azure AD + Intune MDM is getting better and I think we will be able to kill our managed AD soonish though.
The usual way of describing Shuttle in this way (which I assuming they are paraphrasing here) is it was “zip code engineered,” meaning it was intentionally designed with contractors spread across the country so as to maximize its political support base.
Looks like an old article (2018). Suffers from the typical misconception of games, and I take it the author is not really a gamer.

> If I was given the choice between a dead-end low-end job for months on end or hanging with my friends playing video games, it would be very easy to choose the latter

That's a false dichotomy. First, there are so many different kinds of games. Second, games in general are just interactive applications or software. They're not just entertainment... many simulators fall into the category of "game". Flight simulators can be used to train pilots, for example. As far as entertainment, you have everything from casual board-like games, to virtual worlds, to story driven single player.

Games are much more than what most societies let them be. They have been more widely accepted in the past two decades, but I think mobile games have kept their reputation as a toys for children. This is absolutely not the case, and I hope with VR and mobile gaming maturing somewhat, people will realize that interactive software and virtual worlds have unlimited potential.
The US beat them in to submission you mean.

Disclaimer: Paying Protonmail customer here

Protonmail has been dishonest in their marketing.

1. Their homepage stated ""By default, we do not keep any IP logs...". Due to complaints about this being a lie, they have today removed this statement

2. Their website also stated "No personal information required to create an account". However, for creating an account through Tor a phone number is required. This has been an issue for 4 years [1]

How could I expect Proton to disobey legal requests? That's crazy.

> I don't know realistically what Obj C uses in the osx cpu architecture but I'm almost certain it's not going to be as simple as just retargeting your compiler...

Objective C is in mainline GCC. You retarget your compiler and port the runtime. As far as I know, any target with GCC support can run Objective C, given a runtime. The important parts of the runtime require kilobytes, not megabytes, of space.

Remember that Objective C was originally a very thin layer on top of C. You take all the [method calls] and replace them with calls to objc_msgSend(). The overhead is fairly small— your object instances need the “isa” pointer, which is basically just a pointer to a vtable. The objc_msgSend() function reads the vtable and forwards method calls to the correct implementation.

My experience is that Objective C binaries typically have a much smaller footprint than C++ binaries. That’s obviously not some kind of rule, but it reflects idiomatic usage of Objective C. In C++ you'd use a std::vector<T> which is a templated class, which gets instantiated for every different T you use in your program. In Objective C, you’d use NSArray, which is monomorphic.

This all should be completely unsurprising—since Objective C first appeared in the 1980s, it’s no surprise that it doesn’t need much memory.
> COVID has accelerated this big time. Why spend $5,000 a semester to watch a Zoom lecture from an average professor when you can open YouTube in a new tab and see a world-class professor share the same information for free? It makes no rational sense.

I don't get that line of thinking:

1. Education isn't a passive lecture-consumption activity. A "world-class professor" who put a lecture on youtube is going to have exactly zero time to talk to you as a student.

2. There's probably not that much difference between the teaching ability of a "world-class professor" and your "average" good professor. That's especially true for undergrad subjects.

I think you're assuming a false equivalency, akin to "why have parents when you can watch videos made by the best parents in the world on television?" The tech version may have many similarities, but it's not equivalent.
You can drop the '3rd and 2nd worlds' part. It's used for the treatment of parasites in the 1st world as well.

I'm not a infectious diseases expert, but to my knowledge the viruses that it's been found to be effective against are all mosquito borne; it's just as likely related to it's toxic action on mosquitos in general. Still, it's all baseless conjecture on everyone's part. If someone cares to throw money at it, it's something that can be investigated.

At the end of the day just get the widely available vaccine and move on with life, like you would for other viruses that we've got vaccines for. I feel like we're all making this way harder than it has to be just so we can all continue to yell at each other.
Excellent contention, and I don't have a ready-made answer yet.

Curiously enough, we've seen anonymous services succeed for results unrelated to privacy-from-government: places like Omegle & ChatRoulette use anonymity for fun; places like 4chan use anonymity both for fun and also to avoid certain problems common to name-posting. Anonymity has long been a viable alternative put to good use in literature, arts, and entertainment. Perhaps the proper marketing would be along those lines?

> YOU LET THE GOD DAMN ADVERTISERS DECIDE FOR THEIR OWN GOD DAMNED SELVES WHAT KIND OF CONTENT THEY'RE OK WITH ADVERTISING

Have you talked with advertisers? They're really twitchy about this stuff, they even have vendors for brand safety they'll want to include in their ads or have you integrate with if you're a platform like YouTube to rule out ads on anything that could show their brand in a bad light.

I don't use YouTube, but I thought this was what the demonetisation was - the creators were getting a trickle of revenue, but most of it was gone, sounds to me like the impacts of it being considered not "brand safe" and most advertises enable such controls reflexively.

DMSMR is an issue yes, but CMR disks already do it and it's not as much of an issue as you think. On a CMR this is entirely fine.

The issue with SMR is that because a write can have insane latencies, normal access gets problems.

CMR doesn't have those write latencies, so you won't face resilvering taking forever.

It also helps if you run a newer ZFS, which has sequential resilvers that do in fact run fine on an SMR disk.

I will also point out that wear leveling on a DMR disk tries to achieve maximum linear write/read performance by organizing commonly read sectors closer to eachother.

Not really. The physical disks used most at that era were CDs and DVDs. Both of which have angular recording.

Which means that CDs and DVDs are always read at the same speed, no matter where the laser / read head is.

Only those who really worked with hard drives noticed the speed increase at the inner ring.

I never use Awk until last year. I wanted to monitor an embedded device with little more than bustbox and python on it. There was quite a bit of information in the log files (I had already written a custom log file viewer with some highlighting) but I wanted to monitor in real-time. Somehow I decided to use Awk to monitor the tail of the log file and do realtime bar-graphs by generating appropriate cursor control sequences. In the end I had about 50 lines of Awk to upload to the board and run a command to pipe the log into it - very minimally invasive and very informative.

Would recommend learning Awk with some kind of real-world use of your own. BTW it reminded me of using XSLT which I think is another often overlooked "good thing".
