The numbers on this seem inflated though. From what I've googled/read, I've seen numbers as low as $1k/month per 1 million pageviews. Unsure if number of unique visitors effects that number however.
The new generation of "brogrammers" destroying the libre software from the inside.

In the 90's we would kick these "brogrammers" out in a breeze.
So what should one use for configuration? I am not going to use JSON because of lack of comments. A configuration file needs comments. TOML does the job for this well, I think.
The common use in cybersecurity is puffery (as of course is the term "cyber").
I agree with a lot of that but regarding (3), there's already an exit tax, which is the same as the capital gains tax if you sold everything.

This is less of an issue for those who inherited wealth, since a lot of it might already be in offshore trusts. Company founders don't have an easy out.
the analogy doesn't work perfectly since there's hardly any open source media (whatever that means) but it's similar in terms of vitality
This. Saving, say, 10% of income is a whole different game in a HCOL area vs saving 10% in a low one provided that one retires outside of the HCOL area.
Yes, logging the beginning and ending of a span to your observability platform is a common and valuable approach, since you can figure out from the open spans of a dead process what requests might have been running when it died, making it easier to diagnose requests of death.
A respected senior engineer once told me "all configuration is code, if it modifies the behaviour of software, it needs to be testable"

Yaml is huge unintuitive PITA, I recently spent multiple hours figuring out the best way pass CLI arguments to a k8s cronjob via yaml. I only managed to solve the weird error messages after I stumbled upon the stackoverflow post linked in the webpage https://stackoverflow.com/a/21699210

> There are NINE (or 63*, depending how you count) different ways to write multi-line strings in YAML.
I read it as sarcasam. My dad is in his eighties and we took the keys to the car and the computer away from him.
I agree with the sibling. You need to say what it means to "have an idea what the meaning of text is" if you're going to use this as an argument that neural nets don't understand language.

I think what it means to understand language is to be able to generate and react to language to accomplish a wide range of goals.

Neural nets are clearly not capable of understanding language as well as humans by this definition, but they're somewhere on the spectrum between rocks and humans, and getting closer to the human side every day.

I can't help but think that arguments that algorithms simply don't or can't understand language at all are appealing to some kind of Cartesian dualism that separates entities that have mind from those are merely mechanical. If that's your metaphysics, then you're going to continue to find that no particular mechanical system really understands language, all the way up to (and maybe beyond) the point where mechanical systems can use and react to language in fully all situations that humans can.
These new tools are neat, but because ls, tree, git have most of these features it has been tough to talk myself into using exa.

One minor thing that bugs me about ls however, is the date display. I'd like iso 8601 for old dates, with a human-readable date for recent changes. Currently I have this:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 foo foo 37 2016-03-28 9:14 .Xmodmap
-rw------- 1 foo foo 496k Wed Oct 27 14:27 .xsession-errors

Via `ls --time-style=`, but the cutoff between the two styles is hard-coded to something like six months. I'd prefer a week or so, but not an option. I asked on the mailing list but no action. Can exa or another tool be configured to use two date formats with a week in the past cutoff?
Uh, all that money is taxed at withdrawal.
the CI section is painful to read

bloat cost money and time, imagine needing more than the 2 vcpu to compile your code "fast" enough..

languages that takes an eternity to compile code is not something i want in my "workflow"

if i were to hire developers, i'll make sure they pick languages that compile fast, there is a reason why GO took off and is the language for cloud native needs

and there is a reason why nobody uses rust for server stuff
That's a cool idea but I think something important is lost without that human "fudge factor" so to speak. I do a lot of things for my team that maybe aren't explicated in policy or would be very difficult to legislate through code related to morale and fending off burnout. Humans need wiggle room, for lack of a better word. Robots don't make all things better.
Where did you see e as a series before seeing it as the limit of some growth? I remember seeing the intuitive explanations in school, before anything else.
All I know is as a user, Wayland lets me have reasonable HiDPI support (where 2 monitors can have different scale levels). And I can't on X.
Still in active development. I still haven't gotten around to trying it, shame on me. Maybe I'll wait for Version H:

"What’s next
For quite some time now, people have been asking for hierarchical schematics. About equally as long, I’ve been thinking off-and-on about how to best go about implementing it. Once I made up my mind, I went ahead and implemented it over the course of about a month.

Even though the implementation is mostly done by now, I decided to not include it into this release so it receives some more testing by a wider audience. Apart from that, this results in version “H” bringing support for hierarchical schematics."

MSM (I had to look that up) is entertainment. It's designed to entertain people and to make money from ads. The "alternative" media is also made to make money from ads. What do you expect? A lot of people are addicted to news, and media companies made a sport out of it.
You're not too bright, so I'll spell it out for you:

1) Pelosi recently demanded on video that the MSM "sell the budget" - ie. demanding coordination from the media.

2) cnn.com/WaPo has retracted most of their stories about Trump. msnbc carried the same stories, but I haven't seen any retractions. How do you print the same false stories across 3 outlets without a coordinated media narrative?
What if version 2 rolls out to airport wide CCTV and gives them the ability to track eye movements, body language, gait, user emotion from facial expressions, etc. and is captured in excruciating detail after the AI processes it in real-time, then shared with business partners for targeted advertising and stored indefinitely, without your consent?

Would that change your thinking? I’m honestly trying to not see the evil in this tech as it evolves to new use cases and gets smarter.
If you have one of the popular RTL-SDR's you may be able to pick up the HF bands by enabling the direct sampling mode (allows tuning between 500kHz - 28.8MHz).

Sorry, that is wrong, I work at a FAANG (not apple) and have worked at plenty of startups and small to mid-sized companies. I can count the windows users on one hand. I know Walmart and contract engineers have massive office complexes around the US, they probably are all Windows due to the costs. I'd love to see your stats.

This is even another example of just optimising for the easy bit.

I could hire 50 juniors that can code tomorrow if I wanted to. But even with an unlimited budget, finding good devs that can make it through a 2 year project without coming out of it with a big ball of unmaintainable shit is difficult.

The gulf from beginner to expert is already big, and the more crutches you use early on, the bigger it's going to get. There's a lot of people that wash out of the industry before they reach the point of being able to comfortably build good software (and be solely responsible for it).

I think copilot is another item in a long list of things that's good for big businesses (who optimise heavily for getting passable results with 1,000 mediocre devs instead of 50 good ones) and terrible for individuals in the long run.
I don't think the Kentucky coal mining scene is the ideal comparison here or what we should hold up as the aspirational standard for new initiatives. Especially when you say the roads are poorly maintained, and especially when the Maine road in question isn't just some mountain road, it's the main highway through a significant portion of Maine, and a secondary highway (parallel to I 95) through other parts. What you describe on Kentucky sounds minimally adequate for its own needs and not at all comparable to this situation.
If it leads to lower consumption that would be better for the environment and would probably lead to a more sustainable economy with less incentive to go into debt.

> To conclude, i think you're defining the semantic web differently than how Norvig is

hahah. now why, why on earth would i use someone who clearly didnt/doesnt-get-it's limited conception?

> feel that you are mis-stating my position.

i dont feel like im being genuinely dealt with either. i felt like most of your points are fairly orthogonal interjections & i have been trying to return more to the article & my comments on them. the topic feels on going mis-stated to me & i am clarifying what we're actually discussing at the root, as i see it.

> Ffs, melodramatic much?

your words have felt dangerously misleading to me in a couple core places, forcing worse-is-better framings onto the scene repeatedly, & i do not think i am being melodramatic; what you are seeing is genuine alarm. i think i am being appropriately based. i do feel very strongly about this all, i feel like it is far to soon to be making conclusions & closing ourselves off to possibility. but i see fait accomplis written all over the outlooks i have given & it feels radically confining to me & very uncomfortable.

im sorry i dont have a more clear promising inspiring case to rest my assertion on, that the old & new & ongoing reverberations of semantic web are mostly alike, represent an ongoing continual & vital thread of information. it's a long long voyage & it feels premature.

i recommemd again to everyone my original points vis a vie whether Norvig has insight or not. if you are Google, maybe listen. everyone else, these three points Peter has made: my read is still that he never had a clue and/or was actively sabotaging a better web.
Before your examples Europe had the Great Bullion Famine during the 15th century that caused deflation across the continent due to the lack of gold. This was ended when the Spanish started flooding Europe with vast amounts of gold from the Americas, which then caused massive inflation instead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Bullion_Famine

A long period of deflation followed by a long period of over-inflation doesn't scream stability to me!
IMO "configuration languages are bad" and "YAML is bad" are two very different discussions. Mixing them up takes away from both.

Most of the complaints against YAML are really complaints against complex systems (Kubernetes, CI pipelines) which use it as their interface. The rest of the problems can be solved by quoting your strings.

YAML works perfectly well if it is (1) used for the right use cases rather than as a substitute for code and (2) paired with a linter or parser which handles its quirks.
> cash hoarding

That used to be called saving and it was considered a good thing. Lower consumption would be better for the environment as well.
you should be aware that the typical "revert your config" shenanigans have happened

I didn't realize that happens on MacOS in addition to Windows.
That's no true with deficits. The way we have historically choosen to do monetary policy has some bad distributional effects, but regular fiscal policy or a UBI does not.

This is, frankly, an extremely dangerous misunderstanding because it's austerity and slack labor markets markets that have immiserated the non-rich. Deficits themselves are never the problem.

Look mo further than the pandemic checks causing us to live in a time of renewed labor unrest rather than a second great depression.

Also debt financing is a charade. Read https://www.jstor.org/stable/40981939 which spells it out clearly.
European here. You answer is the most ridiculous answer here.

Here if you are not an ACTUAL Engineer with a Degree, on civil issues with harms you could be jailed, and your manager would suffer the same fate.

Here being an Engineer is a SERIOUS duty, you half assed software "Engineer" titles would be void upon regularizing your academic earnings. Mostly a Trade/Vocational Degree and that's it. Harsh? Human lives are a serious issue.
You stated, plain as day:

Humans are non-endangered animals, are they not? Therefore you are _literally_ saying killing humans for sustenance is more acceptable than killing an endangered animal for a necklace.
> ... a niche that could really use the Apple Bump but hasn't gotten it and probably won't get it: 10 gigabit ethernet

10GbE was a bit of a mistake on several fronts.

We had become used to these 10x iterations with Ethernet from 10Mb to 100Mb to 1Gb such that 10Gb seems like a natural extension. But running that bandwidth over copper remains a significant technical challenge. For awhile I was using a Thunderbolt 10GbE controller and it was huge (basically the size of an old 3.5" external HD) and most of it was just a giant heatsink, basically.

In commercial situations, the issues with copper often result in using fiber instead. At that point there are less barriers to even higher speeds (eg 25Gb, 40Gb, 100Gb), which make a lot of sense in data centers.

Added to this, there's not a lot of reason to run 10GbE in a home setting or even in many small corporate settings. Even in larger corporate settings, you can go really far with 1GbE using switches, bridges and routers, possibly using higher speed backhaul connection technologies.

What should've happened is what has started to happen in the last few years: interim speeds (eg 2.5Gb and 5Gb). Hopefully these become more widespread and become relatively cheap such that someday they just displace 1GbE naturally.

On top of all of this, Ethernet is an old standard that uses 1500 byte frames. This actually starts to become an issue at 10+ GbE such that various extensions exist for very large frames (eg 9000 bytes) but this runs into issues with various hardware and software.

Probably largely because of the 1500 byte frames of Ethernet, the de facto standard for TCP/IP MTU is pretty much 1500/1536 bytes and this has become a self-fulfilling prophecy as more and more infrastructure is deployed that makes this max MTU assumption.
Not exactly plain json, but close: https://json5.org/
Yep this isn't helping - where I work has lots of tech vacancies right now (plenty of people have left for presumably higher paying jobs) and a friend has offered me a job with him too.

I don't know how this fits into the narrative, but Protel, which started as an affordable, very good option continued to improve and is now Altium.
> The inductive invariant IC3PO produced for Paxos in under an hour identically matches the human-written one previously derived with significant manual effort using a technique called interactive theorem proving. On top of speeding the process up, it also produces a proof with very succinct and digestible documentation.

Is there anything actually different between "interactive theorem proving" in a sufficiently advanced language (say Coq) and what they've done here? Honest question, I had to drop out of my college Coq class on account of a broken leg (and lack of willpower).
It really depends on your view of W3C as a standard body.

> That's different from what you said in your original comment

SOAP basically started as an attempt to learn from the mistakes of CORBA and RPC, and I think it started with good intentions all around. When complexity hit, however, the original designers basically went "we'll deal with it in the various sub-specs, but don't worry, tooling will take care of this anyway". I do think most of them were not malicious in this approach. Meanwhile, vendors understood where the wind was blowing, and got themselves heavily involved in the various efforts - hence the proliferation of WS-* and incompatibilities.

> I'm still inclined to believe a lot of it was people (both spec-makers and tool-makers) doing their best with a challenging problem

Considering the amount of money and manpower that went into these efforts, ascribing it all to lack of skills would possibly end up being less optimistic - about the state of corporations, the work they produce, and what this means for human progress.

TBH I think the charitable reading is just that there were too many cooks in the WS kitchen. I feel some of them burnt pans on purpose, maybe they didn't, but at this point it doesn't matter much.
If it's so perfectly reasonable, they should be able to take out cheap loans to pay this new Elon salary.
I could see it being big with domain specialists who can tell very specific 'user stories' but don't want to stop what they're doing in order to learn programming.

I could see it being huge for the GUI scraping market. Or imagine a browser plugin that watches what you're doing and then offers to 'rewire' the web page to match your habits.

Imagine some sort of Clippy assistant watching where you hover attention as you read HN for example. After a while it says 'say, you seem to be more interested in the time series than the tree structure, would you rather just look at the activity on this thread than the semantics?' Or perhaps you import/include a sentiment analysis library, and it just asks you whether you want the big picture for the whole discussion, or whether you'd rather drill down to the thread/post/sentence level.

I notice all the examples I'm thinking of revolve around a simple pattern of someone asking 'Computer, here is a Thing; what can you tell me about it?' and the computer offering simplified schematic representations that allow the person to home in on features of interest and either do things with them or posit relationships to other features. This will probably set off all sorts of arms races, eg security people will want to misdirect AI-assisted intruders, marketers will probably want tos tart rendering pages as flat graphics to maintain brand differentiation and engagement vs a 'clean web' movement that wants to get rid of visual cruft and emphasize the basic underlying similarities.

It will lead to quite bitter arguments about how things should be; you'll have self-appointed champions of aesthetics saying that AI is decomposing the rich variety of human creativity into some sort of borg-like formalism that's a reflection of its autistic creators, and information liberators accusing the first group of being obscurantist tyrants trying to profit off making everything more difficult and confusing than it needs to be.
The demos are very slow for me. I dunno if I can somehow display it but it feels like ~10 FPS.

Okay, doesn't it feel crazy that we're just throwing ideas out there and if it seems to justify the spending for something totally unrelated, it'll have a reasonable chance of becoming literally the highest law of the land?

Maybe it's because I'm not in the room, but this feels incredibly slapdash for something so incredibly important.
As a noob, what's the issue with this?
This is a good observation, and it’s also important to realize that there’s no single “Amish” group - there are various groups of similar religious and cultural origin across a number of US states and Canadian Provinces, each of which has its own unique rules and practices.
If the rate is too high, I suspect wealth will be transferred to assets like real estate with lower annual taxations. And this will lead to a new class of speculation. Or rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic because we haven't solved the fundamental problem that there are just too many bespoke deductions for the rich.
What this feels like to me, after a nominal amount of time using it, is that I am now in charge of vetting the proposed code, and is it appropriate for my use case, and does it meet our coding standards and does it integrate with my code or further suggestions. Honestly it feels like constantly code reviewing, which is not pleasant nor conducive to productivity.

And I do a lot of PR approval, and I shudder to think about PRs stitched together in haste because look how easy it is now to crank out code!

And lastely it doesn't work well when you have a large legacy codebase that your working within.
You shouldn’t use autorouters at all. They have essentially no reasonable use.
No, _saving_ is when you put money aside and hopefully keep its value at least above inflation. Cash hoarding means individuals and businesses stash bills under the mattress, and business will even decline to sell you anything on credit. And of course, that money devalues with inflation, so it’s not useful as a savings mechanism.
Literally any functioning company has negative effects on its competition.

I believe you. The question is not whether you were fed conspiracy theories, it's how effective were they and "compared to what?" Because that's what's implied by these articles/studies. They claim "people are radicalized," which is very different than "people watched some UFO videos."

How many people watched Youtube videos and were radicalized into believing in flat earth, aliens, etc?

Compare that to how many people watched legacy media and were radicalized into believing that Iraq had nukes and Trump was a Russian agent?

From what I’ve read, you have to accommodate ±1 ms NTP clock skew unless you have an atomic clock or GPS source in each datacenter, so the extra precision isn’t reliable.
TOML is fine. If you use JSON, almost everything has affordances for comments as keys (“//“: …) many also accommodate values ([“//…”]).
So having suppliers instead of being vertically integrated gets taxed repeatedly.

This is the whole reason the VAT taxes value added, not the whole transaction.

I have to wonder whether you’ve even looked at existing tax systems, or spent any time sketching out what the consequences of yours might be.
I expect to see a lot of crazy selfdestructive, self-sabotaging schemes from the USA during the remainder of the attempt at empire, which I expect to last the entirety of the rest of my life.

Most of the up and coming interesting industries that have been happening in the last ten years are mostly happening outside of the USA, and this trend will only continue as it becomes harder and harder to operate there.
And the CFC's would be definitive proof.
