I was one of the (evidently very few) users of Wave. While it had many features, the one I remember now very fondly was proper message threading. It wasn't until years later that I used my first email program (mutt, of all things) with simple, correct threading.

I'm still somewhat annoyed that major email providers don't support proper threading. I wonder why. Is it because email is supposed to be "easy" and threads are cognitively "hard"?
I work at a global corporation with 50,000 employees. Even though I've never been at Google I felt every pain point this video was getting at because our company is trying to implement all of this stuff right now.

"Oh you want to go to production? Here's a list from A-XX stating what you need to accomplish that." Thing is I thought they actually handled this gracefully when I started because lots of requirements were tiered with various criteria you had to meet to move up (mostly for brownie points).

But then one day the Tech Execs lose their minds and decide "everything needs to meet all criteria for every single process." You want to create an S3 bucket to store data? That will be a week of submitting paperwork and another month of meetings and approvals from various teams you've never heard of. Plus you have to register your schema, implement data quality checks, unit tests, regression tests, get a PR and CO approved for your central config change, remediate any CVEs in the tooling that you used, and build all of this using our in-house CI/CD platform we created because we're just soooo special. Now you're allowed to launch. Oh wait, NO because we've put the entire corporation on hold from launching new systems for the last calendar year because we're still trying to agree on the final process everyone needs to follow to go to production.

It's surreal how universally so many orgs makes the same mistake of trying to throw more and more process at problems.

Well... when we get to herd immunity isn't a purely scientific number, because it depends on peoples' behavior, and peoples' behavior changes to some degree depending on what public health officials are telling them (or depending on what the media is saying that public health officials are saying).

So you're kind of right in your criticism (what we need from scientists is science, not what they think we need to hear). And yet, there is also an element of validity in what they're saying here too - matters of science are not just matters of science. They change peoples' behavior, in ways that the scientists may not have taken into account.
... socially, too. That part sucked.

Counterpoint: maybe people are getting jaded by the constant nostalgia baits Hollywood keeps producing. Personally, I'd prefer less remakes/prequels/lazy adaptations and more epics like LOTR, for example. LOTR also had adaptations, but they were well-thought and respectful to the source material.
Has anyone tried to develop anything with MSFT's Fluid Framework [1], which is used to build Loop? I have not got a chance to check details. But it seems quite nice. Any general remarks are welcome.

Particularly, I'm interested in understanding customizability of Fluid components, integration with React, and any concerns about Azure service lock-in.

> - none of the "clean" sources can easily scale on demand. Sun, wind, hydro and nuclear have either fixed or random output

Hydro scales on demand actually, somewhat slowly, but it does. Pumped Hydro in fact turns hydro power into a battery for perfect response vs demand.

Nuclear can scale in theory: but its too expensive to scale down. The fuel is _basically_ free, so there's no point ramping nuclear power plants down. You spend all the money on safety / construction, very little on the ongoing costs.
> Except for simply running of out drive space.

> So if you want to buy something and have it last 5+ years you need to spec it out from the start to have way more drive space than you think you'll ever use.

Yup. When I bought my MBP M1 2020, I foolishly went with 256GB of storage.

Installed Xcode and that was like 15GB of available storage space gone right then and there. The simulators take another few GB on top of that.

Add to that all of the other software that I use, another significant portion of storage space is taken.

And with my own files on top, I routinely have only about 10-15 GB of available space out of the 256 GB, which is quite annoying. And it also means not being able to install some stuff that I use only sometimes, because with the limited amount of space I have I cannot waste it on things that I only rarely use. But that means I don’t get to use those things at all unfortunately.

Not being able to do anything about this is about the only gripe I have with this machine. So all in all I am still very happy with it. But not as happy as I would’ve been if I wasn’t constantly running out of storage space.

And I even thought I was giving myself enough room for everything, because my previous computer was a MacBook Air 2018 model with 128GB storage, where I was also running out of space all the time, so even though I really wanted to buy the 1TB model of MBP M1 2020 I landed on the 256GB thinking that hey it’s still twice what I had so it should be enough right. Well, no, not quite enough as it soon turned out.
I think the way this looks in GP’s proposal is “he who can afford to pay the most rent (taxes) gets the home”, which is a lot like the current system you describe except the rent (taxes) goes toward funding the city and improving such public goods as the schools and roads you mention, instead of rewarding speculators.
> Convincing, nutritious, cheap artificial meat could turn the world vegetarian.

I'm not so sure about that. I've recently had the opportunity to try a vegetarian diet for a week. I did not enjoy it, I found the food tasteless and insufficiently nutritious.

But that got me thinking about all the dishes I usually consume which, while not exclusively plant based, are mostly made out of vegetables. All those dishes have a critical animal-based ingredient. The problem? Many of those ingredients aren't desirable by themselves - meat with significant bone and fat parts, pork hooves or ears, animal blood and others. Yet without them, you cannot make those dishes.

I wonder, when we finally arrive at that artificial meat future, will today's "undesirable" parts of beef or pork or chicken become an expensive delicacy? Will it basically wipe out traditional recipes that depend on them? I'm not sure I'd want to live in such a world.

Rather than as a specific historical 'religious' document for evidence, I've seen using it as a guide to search for evidence of other potential events.

One potential explanation for these similar great flood stories have made me think of the Black Sea narrative that it may have flooded within the last 10k years, causing the rise of these stories.

It may not be true, as it could also be formulated a a flood story to explain the flooding of rivers for farming, and that one time there was a 'great flood' that initialized it for "us".
People use all kinds of accounting tricks to convince themselves that some purchase or other makes financial sense. Trading in their perfectly good 2 year old car for a brand new one, buying on finance when they could buy a cheaper one outright. I'm sceptical that it ever pays off that way.

In theory one could build a perceptual hash that had a universal opt-in. But I’m skeptical such a scheme could avoid collisions (e.g. identical twins) or perhaps even doppelgänger-like strangers.
Many would state that even today there are quite a few features that Solaris does much better than Linux, but so is "progress".
Not sure I get that comment. I think the API first design is good. It let's you decouple the translations from your application.

It's then up to you too either do that on the server, on the client, or at build time. All three are easily possible. If you'd start with a static file then the decoupling and automation tasks will be much more difficult to achieve.
For the record, Notion lives up to the hype.
Open source, self-hosted, admin tool. What next
Hey HN, I've never posted here but I thought I would share. There's a project that I built over the last year or two (2,300+ commits) and that I'm coming back to that I was hoping for some feedback on.

The idea behind it was to have something that end users could use to get to CRUD data across multiple databases and have good permissions control to keep the data protection/GDPR etc and IT support gods happy. It kind of grew from there and I added the ability to see linked data and some other stuff.

It was really driven from working in startups in particular ones with a microservice architecture where they have quite a large number of those microservices each one having its one backend. Mostly built very quickly and with not much maintenance.

It took me quite a while to build it and I'm not really sure if there's any market for it.

I've put up a website as well as some forms with some additonal features to see if anyone would enquire. No one has but then I haven't really told anyone about it so not really surprised there.

Repo is on github, it's built in Ruby, Rails, JS. Had some help from my partner and another dev. https://github.com/Mission-Kontrol/MissionKontrol

The next thing I was thinking about building was maybe DB updates via APIs. There's some stuff on my other projects that can be updated to a database directly but others where an endpoint would be more suitable to keep validations etc.

Would love any feedback, thoughts. Should I keep working on this?

Swap and other system activity is factored. Most heavy workloads wear other parts of the system as well. As another user pointed out, truly heavy storage and scratch system based workloads want to use large externals anyway, for other reasons.

> You just have to be liked while being sufficiently good.

I would caution that this not become an invitation to become a Willy Loman. Dead fish float downstream. Wanting to be liked is a recipe for obsequiousness, cowardice, and mediocrity of character. The doormats of the world are people who need to be liked. It is the ethos of the undignified, the dishonest, and the resentful.

We should not care if we are liked. We should care about doing what we ought. One ought not be an asshole, not because you won't be liked (and there is bound to be someone that will like the asshole, btw), but because being an asshole is a defect of character which you should recognize and repair instead.

Of course, the side effect of doing what we ought is the respect of good people, but that is incidental.

I mentioned the idea in another thread... but yeah... 0% property tax on your first property and primary residence, 1% on the second, 2% on the third...

New York introduced subsidies to keep nuclear plants operating just a few years ago:

"Five states have implemented programs to assist nuclear power plants"

https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=41534

It says that some nuclear plants in New York receive subsidies since 2017. I don't know what the New York selection criteria are. Maybe Indian Point just didn't qualify like other plants did, and (regrettably) shut down sooner as a consequence.
If that's the point:

A) It's doing a horrible job conveying it. A dev does need to be concerned on how to handle failover, but only at a certain abstraction level. They should be required to specify something in the form "given server A fails and has to pass to B, what do you do?" That does not require you to know the terminology about PCRs and how to make decisions about which cells (or whatever) to pick on deployment, or avoiding the "gotcha" about making sure the two servers are in different PCR zones.

At that point, it's just following a checklist that needs no knowledge of the specifics of the app, and, to the extent that it's accurately representing how Google was, is indicative of bad processes.

B) Many things should be infra's job, as they're cleanly orthogonal to what dev's are doing. For example, how to apply a security patch to a DB. That's unrelated to the operation of the app.

I do get your point though, and I wouldn't say something like this about e.g. testing (which was the short, "reasonable" part of the video!) -- the devs have intimate knowledge of what counts as passing and failing and should be writing tests, and not 100% passing it over to QA. But that's precisely because such concerns are deeply tied in to the thing they are concerned with. "SQL 3.4.1 vs 3.4.2" is not.
Because you have to get it working before you can make it better. Abstraction is quite secondary

You should read up on Zoned Storage for NVMe SSDs, and some of the more recently added error handling features like Get LBA Status. The gist is that it is only practical for the SSD to be in charge of determining what has failed-not the host, and that retrofitting NAND retirement into the traditional block device/LBA model is not worth the trouble when there are also other reasons to migrate to a different, more flash-friendly abstraction.
Someone I know in the industry told me these changes were being planned before his tweets went viral, and that it was going to happen soon anyway (like the height restrictions change). I think the press credits the Flexport CEO too much for this. He's popular so his tweets went viral but it sounds like they were planning it already. (And that's why it was included in his tweet in the first place - he probably heard this change being talked about too with the people he was talking with.) I mean I'm glad his tweets called attention to it but I think the press makes the story sound too simplistic, like his tweets caused the change, when really the causation is: 1) the changes were being planned, 2) the industry was talking about it, 3) the Flexport CEO heard about it, 4) the Flexport CEO tweeted about it and that went viral, 5) the changes were implemented.
>It's not infinite demand. That's something you came up with to prove your point.

Yes, it is a piece of rhetoric used to imply that a problem caused by overly loose monetary and fiscal policy cannot be solved by just having supply rise to meet the natural consequences of that policy.

In any market, price goes up when demand outpaces supply. You can visually perceive that in any chart software that visualizes the buy side and the sell side on a given asset.

You're repeating an axiom, which is that price results from the interaction between supply and demand, without addressing the point that it is the demand side which is not merely 'elevated,' but is being manipulated upwards by policy above what it would be absent the strange monetary state of affairs combined with the lasting effects of the various relief bills that suspended many controls on lending standards. It is easier for the government to conjure demand on command, indeed at the 'press of a button,' but it is much more complex to have supply meet that conjured demand. But solving the so-called supply issues would just be met with more stimulus, which would create more supply issues due to the physical limitations of reality.

A better argument against what I said would be to try to portray this record demand, which is outpacing world-record supply, as a consequence of a roaring economic boom occurring due to fundamental factors. You could say that the stimulus is irrelevant and that growth might even continue with tighter monetary policy and more stringent lending standards.
It also works great for a product / bug backlog. Just delete the entire thing. If it's a real bug / feature it will get recreated.
this is what I always thought when playing Minecraft, it’s not just digital legos, even pure vanilla is a living breathing world with day/night cycles, farming, etc, I use a plug-in called Multiverse to connect all of our old worlds together with the current world, so we can go back and use resources we dug up 10 years ago, and it supports a really nice live mapping plugin called dynmap, also built a “meta world” that acts as a go-between to quickly jump to specific builds across various worlds using an “iconic” chunk of the actual build converted to “meta world” materials: http://mc.legacycraft.vip:8123/?worldname=meta&mapname=surfa...
Google Wave was sold to us as a better replacement for e-mail. That was its main feature! It definitely died.

That does sound quite different. In NZ TAing during a PhD is completely optional, something you do for extra money. It's definitely a good idea to do some, but in general you wouldn't be allowed to do more than ~10 hours per week.
Anyone know of anything like this but at the TCP level? I would love to have a way of simulating network partitions and different message delays for distributed algorithms implemented in Elixir. In an ideal world I'd be able to hook the elixir send/receive primitives to intercept messages between processes even in a single node.
Interesting, I've always thought that I will work on Linux, because I love Linux tools, but I will miss some Windows specific tools. And this is how I was rolling last 4 years.

But what I really needed was Windows system with WSL and good integration of GUI apps (Still on W10 tho) where I can use my beloved tools for programming, and still have access to games, apps like Office (here only Excel that I care about) and some other Windows/macOS only.

With Edge I switched a few months ago for testing. It's great to be honest. Especially because of support Chrome extensions - and here I need WASM development plugin. Firefox does not offer such ability yet. I decided to opt out from Google as much as I can. The only missing part in Edge is the tabs and history management. It's hard to name, but Firefox is somehow smarter in searching in my history of visited pages when I type on the search bar. OK, there is another one. If I type a page that I have already opened, then in Firefox, It automatically switches to that already opened page. In Edge the default choice is to open duplicated page.
