I'm finding the sneering at "keyboard warriors" really amusing here. How is both the creation of this website, or the anonymous tips themselves anything but "keyboard warrioring"?
I usually think onboarding flows and tours are annoying, but just nothingness sounds a lot worse!
Well, after working at a company that doesn’t do this, I’m on my way back to Google.
> quarter to a third of new cars

Someone who has built a company with complicated long logistical tails, deep R&D, high fashion and is looking for a recurring growth industry might think of a way to do that with cars.

$500/month from 10M drivers in the US would add at least another $1T to the APPL valuation.
Almost all colour astrophotographs you see are made up of a composite of many bands, like UV, IR, X-ray, etc (and visible), with colours mapped to the different wavelengths. The instruments collect many wavelengths because it allows us to see through certain things, as well as recognise certain elements and phenomena from their spectrum.
OpenResty [1] is a good mix of these concepts. It serves requests through nginx (which is at its core just a lightweight event loop) and then serves pages through LuaJIT. If you need more speed you could always write an nginx module in C (or in some other language viz the C ABI).

Yeah - you likely want to do this a single simple query - which you can optimize if necessary. an O(N+1) query is bad. An O(N^2) query is something I have rarely seen. Congrats!

> Consider audio instead. OSS always provided pretty much all the hardware features, but allow no resource sharing. Every single evolution on that front has been an increase in complexity to allow for resource sharing.

This is not true. Early evolution of ALSA included lots of work on handling high channel count, memory-mapped devices (and their opposite, a few devices around in about 2000 that require active CPU involvement in data transfer). At some point, more evolution was required to deal with asynchronous interfaces like the USB ones that are now ubiquitous. The Intel HDA "specification" created a huge amount of work to model the topologically indistinct hardware mixers that it allowed. It remains the case that ALSA provides no facilities for resource sharing that are used by more than a handful of obstinate folk, so there has been essentially no evolution within ALSA itself toward that goal (see next para).

> And it's interesting because the effort went in and out of the kernel a couple of times.

Once OSS was dropped, the only resource sharing left on the kernel side in ALSA was the dmix layer. That continues to exist today, but has never worked reliably, which is part of the reason why PulseAudio came into existence.

> Describing the evolution of OSS/ALSA in linux/freebsd would be too long, however we now have very fat daemons sitting in front of the HW just for resource sharing.

I object to JACK being called "a very fat daemon". It's lean and mean and fairly clean (even the version I didn't write). Perhaps you mean PulseAudio, but that does much, much more than just "resource sharing".

As a side-note, Apple did move resource sharing out of the kernel. At some point that was all kernel-side, and at some point, coreaudiod showed up as a user-space daemon that was eventually clearly doing the same thing.
How is it a "great modern OS?" Internally?

Because its UI and user experience are a shitshow. Settings are scattered everywhere. Windows have no toolbars, title bars, or borders to distinguish them from the one they're overlapping. Menu bars are missing. There are access-prohibited shadows of user directories all over the place in Explorer. The color-scheme editor is simply gone. It's still full of peek-a-boo and Easter-egg UI, with controls disguised as text or simply invisible unless you accidentally roll over them.

And my favorite: Microsoft has disabled remote desktop access except in its "pro" version. Gee, Microsoft: Your contention is that a PROFESSIONAL is the most likely customer to need someone else to log in and help him remotely? Retarded.

When my parents have an issue that I could log in and solve, guess what? I can't. And no, Microsoft, I'm not "upgrading" them to a "pro" version of your broken shit. I'm going to buy them a Mac, and that's the end of Windows in any of my family's homes. And this is coming from a former Windows enthusiast / professional developer / Mac scorner.

You don't realize how unusable Windows has become until you try to set someone up on it. Its E-mail program is absymal, defective in design and function. Outlook isn't included anymore. If you do make the mistake of installing another glorified spam conduit, Office 365, you'll be treated to defects that literally render it unusable to some people: I increased the system-wide font size for my parents, but Outlook didn't honor it. E-mail subjects in the In box remained microscopic and illegible.

And of course there's the endless goddamned harangue to log in with your Microsoft account. A huge portion of the population is laden with an ever-growing pile of accounts and passwords. An account to log into your computer. Another for E-mail. Another for Apple products. Another for your cable provider. ENOUGH. They have no idea which one I'm asking for when I need to get their password to help them with something.

It's easy for the Hacker News demographic to forget that PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS MESS. And so they are writing down their IDs and passwords on Post-Its and putting them on their computers. They are using the same password on every site that demands that they use an E-mail address as a user ID, because they think that this is required.

Then the users feel dumb and blame themselves for problems, which pisses me off even more. They're being TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY MICROSOFT and others, rendering their computers essentially unusable and their security at risk. It's disgraceful.
I can't speak for everyone, but given my experience, they didn't miss much. Our kid spent the virtual third grade doing little more than listening to the teacher read books.

I would complain more, but it was a rough year on everyone.

The problem I see now is that she's woefully unprepared for what so far is a normal 4th grade curriculum.
I discovered that setting by accident on the website - pretty annoying that you can't set it through the TV (but more views is better so make it hard to change).
For people looking for how far back prior art goes, Looking Glass developed an ECS for the Dark Engine on the Thief games (& Irrational used for System Shock 2) in the late 90s.

The version Unity's been building with DOTS was, I believe, being headed by Mike Acton, who's been advocating for years for everyone in the industry to abandon OOP and switch to data-oriented systems. I wonder what he thinks about this.
Yes, if in your analysis digging up fossil fuels to power the entire world infrastructure is just a side effect of sustaining the currency's core value. Good thing cars, airplanes and shipping have as much intrinsic value as waste heat.
Require government ID, create an org for standardized certification, call it something dumb like "bootstrap certificate", which weeds out all the non programmers. Then you can focus on the remaining that are legitimate candidates.

There's more identity requirements and anti spam to a Facebook account than there is in hiring, and in a world of remote work that just doesn't work.

Would smaller wafers help? They're thinner. I was surprised by the thickness of a 300mm wafer.
I've been griping about the tedium of trying to organize tabs (and to a lesser extent bookmarks) for a long time. I typically have hundreds of tabs open and my sanity maintenance method is to keep their number under 256. They're somewhat organized with tab groups but the overhead of managing them is a huge pain point for me. So the visual categorization and search looks like a huge win. I don't care that much about the other stuff tbh :)

Visual organizational tools are very important to me. Even if I'm in the IDE and thinking in code, when I jump tot eh browser for something I want the experience to visual and low-friction, so I don't have to push brower things onto my mental stack, which will slow me down when I want to switch back to the IDE.

I'm very good at remembering where things are, I can pick up a book I haven't touched in months and remember the page I was on, or the last sentence I read to find my place with a few seconds. On the other hand, large scale sorting and rearranging tasks are miserable drudgery so I have a lot of stacks and my bookshelves are, ah, suboptimal.
Who are the examiners who are reading and granting patents like this? Are they experts in their field? IE, could they program a game in C? Do they keep up with state of the art techniques?
> Windows 10 is a great modern OS that everyone expected to last and be built upon

Possibly related to Microsoft explicitly saying "there will be no further versions of Windows after Windows 10".
Yeah, I see this a lot. I think it's especially easy to introduce this kind of "accidentally quadratic" behaviour using magical ORMs like Django's, where an innocent-looking attribute access like user.groups can trigger a database query ... access user.groups inside a loop and things get bad quickly.

In the case of groups and permissions there's probably only a few of each, so fetching all of them is probably fine. But depending on your data -- say you're fetching comments written by a subset of users, you can tweak the above to use IN filtering, something like this Python-ish code:

users = select('SELECT id, name FROM users WHERE id IN $1', user_ids)
comments = select('SELECT user_id, text FROM comments WHERE user_id IN $1', user_ids)
comments_by_user_id = defaultdict(list)
for c in comments:
comments_by_user_id[c.user_id].append(c)
for u in users:
u.comments = comments_by_user_id[u.id]

Only two queries, and O(users + comments).

For development, we had a ?queries=1 query parameter you could add to the URL to show the number of SQL queries and their total time at the bottom of the page. Very helpful when trying to optimize this stuff. "Why is this page doing 350 queries totalling 5 seconds? Oops, I must have an N+1 query issue!"

> Windows 10 is a great modern OS

I’m an infrequent user of it but have a starkly different opinion. It feels like a layer on top archeology and the number of places you have to go to find settings and controls is unhelpful.
I did some work to improve performance on a dashboard several years ago. The way the statistics were queried was generally terrible, so I spent some time setting up aggregations and cleaning that up, but then... the performance was still terrible.

It turned out that the dashboard had been built on top of Wordpress. The way that it checked if the user had permission to access the dashboard was to query all users, join the meta table which held the permission as a serialized object, run a full text search to check which users had permission to access this page, and return the list of all users with permission to access the page. Then, it checked if the current user was in that list.

I switched it to only check permissions for the current user, and the page loaded instantaneously.
>search continues to get better.

You lost me there. Even before Google started putting their thumb on the scale for its Machiavellian goals, search had gone way down hill. It is now at the point that I've got a better chance of finding something by randomly browsing the internet than through a dozen targeted searches. Unless what I'm looking for is associated with a multi billion dollar media company's content farm.
Can this detect planet 9? It's supposed to be more easily seen with infrared.
This is done by literally every single campaign/organization.

The signature process is usually outsourced to people making $.25 a signature. And there is a HUGE amount of fraud. Even when checking against the voter file. Which BTW is public info for most places, which makes it easy to fill in 'correct' data.

This happens even on legitimate large campaigns with controls who do NOT want to cheat lest they get thrown off ballot. But hire enough field organizers some are bound to cheat.

That's why usually submit sometimes 2X the required number.

I don't believe it has changed too much over the years. I once planned a trip from Australia to Europe via Japan and the Trans-Siberian railway. The jump from Japan to the 'World Island' and vice-versa was a ferry between Northern Japan and Vladivostok.

In my case, I wanted to travel at a time when that ferry wasn't running. I ended up flying after all.

> This is just more racism

You never hear the tree-hugger saying, "it's my turn to clear-cut forests with unsustainable abandon". No, the goal is to stop clear cutting forests with unsustainable abandon. That's how I was raised to think of racism. You don't straighten up by stopping racism over here while increasing it over there. You stop racism by stopping racism.
I do understand the technical reasons behind it, and it has nothing to do with bloat. It mostly has to do with mapping a cross-platform (i.e. generic) window abstraction onto a specific OS-provided drawing/event/windowing API.

I also wanted some things similar to like that (although without any site branding either). Some web pages don't work properly with CSS disabled. There is ARIA, although it isn't perfect either (and as far as I could tell when I checked, formatting such as bold, fixpitch, etc doesn't seem to work properly with ARIA; this is determined by writing a short HTML file and then viewing the accessible tree (I don't know if I made any kind of mistake)). So, rather I think the way to do is to use a combination of the HTML, CSS, and ARIA to produce a kind of "augmented HTML" which can then be displayed. (If it contains only simple HTML without layout or CSS or whatever, then the same HTML could usually be used.) (ARIA can be used to e.g. find out what is a checkbox etc, so that the renderer can render that element as a checkbox and ignore any CSS and HTML and other stuff that it tries to use to make it fancy.)

Supporting the Gemini protocol and text/gemini file format is also good to have, but that is separate.

Stuff such as a table of contents window can also be implemented (by looking for the relevant HTML commands in the document which denote headings, sections, etc). (I think I have seen one web browser that can do such a thing for Gemini and Markdown but not HTML. However, it would be possible to do with HTML too (although a bit more complicated).)

You could also add such thing as local annotations, form data save/recall, etc. (These would be controllable only by the local user. There would be no HTML or JavaScript commands for documents to control them.)

I mean that, to make a better web browser: remove half of the stuff, implement the other half of the stuff differently, and then add some stuff.

> I once again return to the Steve Jobs take on why Xerox failed [1]

Thanks, I had not seen that before.

I worked for a telco that has the largest operating area of any telco in the world, and was also a monopoly with the highest internet prices in the world.

Steve saying that product people (& Tech people) were not seen to improve the company, and that only sales and marketing did is absolutely spot on. I didn't see that at the time, and now in hindsight it's obvious. It also makes perfect sense why the former VP of Marketing is now the CEO (of a telco!), and not the VP of IT or Network.

True, but google is CURRENTLY abusing it by selling ads to me based on it.
For what it’s worth, the web has figured out ad serving. With stuff like SafeFrame there is decent sandboxing and exception handling. I’ve really not seen any ad serving outside of web and app sdks that doesn’t fail miserably on a technical level.
Ford's EV entries look pretty appealing so far, so this seems like a smart move for both. It's encouraging behavior to see from a traditional car manufacturer.
I didn’t mention any of the stuff you’re defending; my comment was specifically about working for a place because of “the mission”. A job being transactional doesn’t prevent it from being fun or friendly.
Deeply polarizing topic but I maintain that being in person is far superior to being remote. I think hybrid is the worst thing you can do, though. Pick one or the other; hybrid messes up everything. The whole point of being in person is to have access to people you’d never see or talk to otherwise. It’s much more organic to run into somebody at the water cooler and warm intro yourself and learn more about the company and the various teams. I’ve talked to C level execs, managers, jr guys, you name it. Now it’s all contrived bullshit staring at your screen some more

My favorite is when you pay for Enterprise support for a product, but that does not include support for their open source components. They don't tell you that until you have a major bug and they refuse to fix it, of course.

I've literally had support technicians tell me to go search on Google to figure out my problem because they refused to give support for the OSS components their own company develops. Our billings were 7 figures.
I feel the same way, and I'm reminded of a quote from Elon Musk recently when discussing Starship's Raptor engine:

"It's 10-100x more difficult to design the production system than the engine itself"

So what we really need is to invest and innovate in the production of complex telescopes/probes/etc such that it doesn't cost $10 Billion and 20 years to build, and the loss of one wouldn't hinder the overall production.

I think you are going to confuse people by framing this as "time series" and then focussing on reinforcement learning. A lot/most of your framing is around RL.

from a first glance and a read through your roadmap, this does not feel suitable for people who know what they are doing with RL. It also does not feel suitable for people who don't know what they are doing with RL.
