Hi! I'm a member of the Pants open source team. We recently started a "Who Uses Pants" page at https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.8/page/who-uses-pants. Coinbase, Foursquare, Chartbeat, and others have listed themselves there. Here's a detailed case study from iManage about how they're using Pants 2: https://g-cassie.github.io/2021/10/02/django-pants.html.

The #welcome channel in the Pants community Slack (https://pantsbuild.slack.com) is the best place to discover what large companies are using Pants 2, including Fortune 500 companies.

I'm preparing to launch a series of user interviews on our blog (https://blog.pantsbuild.org/) in coming weeks. Those in-depth conversations explore things like how the Pants 2 adoption process has gone, benefits their team is experiencing on the ground, pragmatic comparisons with alternate solutions the company has used or evaluated, etc.

> I'm genuinely asking, because from a bystander's point of view, it certainly seems like the pattern of the Framework Du Jour hasn't really slowed down much in the frontend community.

Perhaps not in the "frontend community", no it hasn't slowed down. There will always be new frameworks coming and going, and people will work on them as fun open source projects or use them in their side projects or whatever. But people doing real work are almost unanimously settled upon React as an industry standard at this point. There's still a decent sized faction of contrarian Vue holdouts, but by and large the JS framework wars are over.
Are you saying that we should ban low-maintenance technology since high-maintenance technology needs more jobs? Sounds like the broken window fallacy.

You live a pretty comfortable life then.
The past vaccine timeline was driven mostly by monetary concerns and not safety ones. Companies did not want to risk spending tons of money on large trials until they were sure all the smaller ones were bulletproof.

Once you get to the point of doing the large phase 3 trial the timeline for these vaccines was much less compressed. Also much easier to test a vaccine when the virus is spreading all over the place quickly.

Also there just aren’t historical examples of vaccines having “hidden” long term effects. All side effects that happen after 6 weeks also happen much more frequently before 6 weeks.

No, there are legitimate shortage issues, and the "Automakers screwed up their forecasts" excuse is starting to wear awfully thin.

Intel FPGAs aren't typically used in cars, for example, yet we're seeing quotes of $500+ on parts that used to cost $50. Lead times? "Don't ask."
I've been thinking along some similar lines myself recently, that I'd like to have notes that can link to code in some kind of semi-durable way (i.e. as resilient as possible to changes), be able to run code snippets in a variety of languages, etc., and the only things I've found that are able to do this are:

1) Emacs with Org Mode, which is very powerful but has a learning curve like a brick wall, even if you already know emacs. Also nearly impossible to use with anything except emacs (yes, there are mobile/web apps that understand standard org syntax... which doesn't help with any customizations you make, which is like half the point of org mode).

2) Glamorous Toolkit, which is based on Pharo Smalltalk and is easier to use than org mode, but less featureful, much newer (== smaller community, less support), and has many of same problems (i.e. can't easily use it on any non-desktop platform).

It's looking more and more like I'm going to have to build something myself for this.
last I knew (went the other way), there should be a night-train to Vienna (only seated, because not fashionable anymore) and then there is definitely a route you can book to Bergamo.

Problem for the first part (no straight way): rail in yugoslavia is dead except for CCP construction. Problem for the second part the alps.

Still, one could probably do Bucharest-Belgrad-Zagreb-Triest-Verona with a very cheap nighttrain (there are rails, so there's no insurmountable problems: https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/38581/train-from-...). Should be fine for travelling, I think noone should need to commute such a distance anyway...
This probably isn't the best place for an extended comparison, but since it's our launch post, I'll try to close the thread with a couple corrections for factuality. If anyone is interested in a deep-dive, email hello@hightouch.io, and I'm happy to set one up personally. And, I'm sure the team at Grouparoo would be willing to do the same ("contact us" at bottom of their website).

* Add tags to contacts in mailchimp, zendesk or make lists of them in customer.io, Pardot, etc based on segmentation. I believe Hightouch Audiences is more like a filter.

With static mappings, audiences can be synced to destinations as tags :). The magic is in the abstractions, not features!

* Full workflow with branches, PRs, test suite in a repo. I saw Hightouch added git syncing to a known branch yesterday and it looks cool, but it's not the full workflow yet.

Lots more coming soon here. Our git integration is bidirectional so you can totally do that stuff in git, but UI support is on the way. We've found the UI experience is a lot better of an experience than code for _most_ Reverse ETL workflows... so I see the value in this - I'lll check it out

If I have to be honest, the biggest thing that customers love about our product is that it works and accomplishes their use cases. Platform features are cool, but from time to time, I have to remind myself that Fivetran has proven that integrations and actually working comes first, and it is volume but not _just_ volume... our philosophy (destinations as a product), design, and progress there is quite differentiated from the space. You can read more in our Series A announcement from a few months ago at https://hightouch.io/blog/series-a

PS: I haven't tried Grouparoo in a while. I do love the concepts, will give it a swing!

> vegetables are good, fruit is (mostly) good, refined grains and free sugars are bad

Even those are not really absolutes, because a diet with only those "good" elements will still be worse than a mix including animal proteins. Also, some vegetables are simply bad in excessive quantities (mushrooms, potatoes, etc).

The problem we typically have is just over-abundance of everything in our diets. Too much meat is bad, too much vegetables are bad, too much fruit is bad, too much fish is bad, too much dairy is bad. And that's because our bodies evolved to make the most of anything they could digest, since the normal state was scarcity and every little bit helped with survival. Now these finely-tuned "recycling systems" are routinely oversupplied in ways they were not meant to be, and they can't help themselves but overproduce nutrients of all sorts, with all sorts of unpredictable results.

We are like ports where ships continue to unload containers at excessive rates. Some of those containers will end up polluting the area, some will just accumulate into horrible mountains, the motorways will be clogged by a continuous stream of lorries, etc etc etc. Some of those boxes will contain life-saving medicines and some will contain pointless junk, but that's not the actual problem - if you reduce the rate of shipping, then all containers will happily go where they have to go and be dealt with as they "deserve".

We were probably not built to have three meals every day.

You've got to look at the scholarly work rather than their faculty web pages. Campos has written a number of recent papers in the broad area of higher ed economics (particularly law school), but in the grand tradition of American law professors also clearly feels entitled to write about things such as public health that are well outside of his formal training.

Campos's google scholar page: https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=1Geb1zAAAAAJ...

James C. Scott is an influential scholar on power structures and the often antagonistic relationship between governors and the governed. His book Seeing Like a State in particular is widely read and mentioned on HN frequently.

What is most interesting about this article is that there is, at least among the quoted faculty, zero support for the administrative growth and a universal sentiment that it is harmful to the University and places undue burdens on faculty and students, and the quotes are quite vitriolic (this is not normally how professors talk in public about their schools). The Administration's explanations are hilariously weak (Additionally, the growth may have partially stemmed from student requests. Hannah Peck, the assistant dean of student affairs at Yale College, told the News that the Student Affairs team added four new health promotion positions as part of the YC3 program. “Students have consistently requested more mental health support on campus and we are thrilled to be able to provide it,” Peck wrote. So, that's 4 out of >1,500!).

It really does look like a struggle for power and billions of dollars in revenue, and the faculty are losing.
much appreciated. Especially the hint that -fomit-frame.pointer being default now was new to me . I recall many discussions (email threads spanning months) to convince our teams to add it in release builds. I'm glad seeing this as the default now.

I think the killer feature which nobody picked up on is hardened_malloc. though it requires LD_PRELOAD and it comes with a very big disclaimer that might be too conservative for most projects.

> ecosystem is larger by a good amount.

Svelte’s ecosystem is, in practice, actually much larger than React and any other framework because Vanilla JS works out of the box without framework specific wrappers. So just about any JavaScript package can be imported into a Svelte file and used without hassle.
The first one I encountered from that same era was Interface Builder, on the NeXT. And it turns out it's still around, as part of XCode on the Mac.

Cause, or effect? I think you are implying he was born an anomaly, rather than that he has become special using his techniques.

TAM for semiconductors turned out to be wayyyyyy bigger than the world's manufacturing capacity for semiconductors. I don't know how this caught manufacturers by surprise, but perhaps there's bottlenecks in talent, supporting industry and infrastructure that I'm not aware of that would have made additional expansion difficult previously.
Panic has a history of delivering thoughtful, well-made software. Their initial foray into games (Firewatch, Untitled Goose Game, Nour) were all excellent and novel. Combine that with Teenage Engineering's similar novel and excellent track record with hardware design and you've got a very interesting product to those that like Panic's software and/or like good hardware design. If nothing else this product will be novel and well considered.

If that's not your cup of tea, cool. But there's a lot here for several communities.

This is pretty neat.
The generated blogs are minimalist (in the good sense); They're easy to look at and read.
The HTML it generates is not bad either.

If I had a concern it would be this part:

Although it's very good, there can be instances where it makes mistakes. If you find that your handwriting is often being picked up incorrectly, here are some tips to reduce errors:

* Make sure you are using a high quality camera to capture an image of your page. You can upload files of up to 5mb.
* Try to make your handwriting as large and neat as you can.
* Keep line spacing consistent throughout your writing. It can help to use a ruled notebook.
* Ensure each line starts from the same left-hand position of your page.

I think this kind of product being successful relies too heavily on It Just Works for it to have these caveats.
Personally, I can't write like above; My writing is all over the place.

Also this from the app description:

NOTE: You must have a Paper Website account before using this app.

I feel like you should be able to do everything from the app. Install it, create an account, choose your domain name, and start posting.

Still, cool product, I hope it goes well.
I'm sure there are people out there that this would remove a major hurdle for.

And well done for building something from scratch by yourself!
I'm not sure I'm a fan of the capitalization and spaces, other than that I'm all for more self-explanatory names.
The problem with no-code is it is also usually no-ontology. It's always fun to mock 'ideology', but without a strong philosophical principle, every project will eventually morph into a hairball.

The underlying ontology behind code is, "reduce problems to a normalized form that can be stored in text, which we have gotten good at managing with snapshots and branches in DVCS".

With no-code, you don't have a normalized form to reduce to. Maybe your project is PowerBI modules or Excel-like superspreadsheets or whatever, but the 'stuff' that your project is made out of is not subjectable to the same kind of rigorous management that contemporary codebases tend to adopt.

The two analogies that come to mind are nosql, a movement which rather quickly discovered that RDBMS -- a normalized form for storing and addressing data -- was a pretty good idea, actually, for many use cases.

While NoSQL found important roles to fill, it is by no means as Big a Deal as the breathless tech media made it out to be, back in the aughts when mongodb first dropped.

The other analogy is double-entry bookkeeping. It's been around forever, and while it's not appropriate for every use case, its resilience and ability to represent complex changes in a complex system over time in a normalized way is similar to how a well-maintained codebase is represented by git (and competitors).

Code is a form for representing thoughts about changing systems which change the world in turn. It implies an ontology -- an "ideology", in the popular sense of the term -- and without that scaffolding, projects get floppy.

I'm much more excited about things like Git Copilot. Did you see the demo at Ignite, where that guy was literally just describing in English how he wanted the minecraft bot to behave, and the model wrote the (perfect) Minecraft scripting to make the bot obey?

That, IMO, is the future. Tools that create code that may or may not require tweaking, but can be still be committed to a repo, and is still something whose provenance and behaviour you can reason about, and diff-view when it changes.

Now, making the resulting code provably correct in a quick, automated way is probably the next thing I'd work on if I was in charge of Copilot development. But this will probably require changes to the languages that people use.

"Here is the code that does the thing you verbalized in English, here it is deployed, and also, here are several proofs, including a formal proof, the code does what is intended."

(Another advance I'd like to see are AST-based DVCS, rather than text diffs, but that is a story for another monologue)

[EDIT: I should mention that I happen to work at the specific Big Tech Company that makes Copilot; however, I work nowhere near the team that made it, and my opinions are emphatically my own.]
Carbon isn't plentiful on the moon's surface so you want to conserve it for long duration missions/permanent habitats. Unfortunately storing it as CO2 in the air isn't great for human health.
> gets to speak for the whole spectrum

I don't see any claim that they speak for the spectrum, i.e. no appeal to authority/identity. Sure, it means they don't provide a basis for their claims, but in this case I am attacking what I see as an invalid basis.

Also:

> by saying that autistic people wouldn't know that..

They said "Autists often don't.." i.e they aren't speaking about all/any/every, but some. They are talking about some subset of the population.

> Perhaps you should direct your comment to them.

What I feel is worth spending time criticising is my business. Given the hedge of talking about some autistic people it's almost certainly true without qualification.

> or even claiming to speak from personal experience

OP didn't talk from PE of other autistic people, but purely from their own behaviour, i.e. an n=1 generalisation.
Chip shortages are real, but shipping capacity is also very tight at the moment.

Peak Design had some issues[1] with shipping their phone accessories (tripod, bike mount, etc) because of the shipping capacity crunch. Apparently large electronics companies like Apple have booked out most of the air freight capacity.

So you are correct that externalities is something that is really ill-defined, which is why all claims to impose externality-based taxes should meet a high bar of rigor.

In most cases, that's just impossible and the taxes end up being applied for political or emotional reasons rather than objectively taking all costs and benefits into account.

But when it comes to a few areas, we know that there are massive positive externalities in anything involving transportation or communication. Anything that makes the world smaller generally has big positive effects.

Even if you never buy a foreign good, the fact that a good was brought in will lower the price and raise the quality of the domestic good you do buy. That generates employment and income. Anything that lowers the price of bringing in that good will have a huge positive effect on the economy.

With planes, the fact that they make transportation easy and affordable generates massive revenue for tourism, trade, employment. European Airports alone generate about 675 Billion in GDP -- 4% of the EU's GDP when both passenger and freight is taken into account[1]. And that's just airports.

An older FAA study concludes that civil aviation generates 5.4% of US GDP[2] and that's a fairly conservative study not even trying to measure too many spillovers.

Then there is a third effect, which is the superiority of point to point designs. Miami Beach was developed in the 30s and 40s because some developers saw its potential as a great beach destination. But it was only with plane flight that the rest of the nation had a chance to enjoy it. Or Las Vegas, another center that sprang out of nowhere.

The fact that I can fly from pretty much anywhere in the country to Miami for $100 massively increases the tourism trade to Miami Beach. To do that with rail, you'd have to overcome n^2 problem. That alone would require laying down ~50,000 miles of track, requiring God knows how many tons of steel, trainyards, and workers. And it would take days to travel there with connections, stopovers, etc. Those are all frictions.

And once you laid it all down, suppose you didn't want to go to Miami, but to Corpus Christi. Thus air travel allows places to spring up in response to market demand, whereas in the old days, cities along the track became the important centers -- e.g. development was infrastructure constrained rather than allowing the infrastructure to meet the needs of development flexibly and quickly. That increased flexibility and convenience, together with the reduced frictions of point to point travel provides trillions of dollars in positive externalities.

I'm intrigued too. One obvious cause of "inconsistent syntax" would be if you saw any pre-1.0 Rust. Early Rust is a very different animal, it has a different concurrency model, it has a garbage collector, and the syntax is not at all like it is today. Such radical changes would of course be completely unacceptable for an industrial language, and sure enough 1.0 is the end of it.

Note that parsing is likely more complicated than your code because you have assumed that your “line” has already been identified before parsing the line. AFAIK there is an escape sequence for the header delineator (\r\n).

Also, your code doesn’t fix the issue where a header name with a white space is accepted (which may violate expectations, depending on the server).

Your pseudo code also doesn’t handle edge cases where 2 headers which normalize to the same stripped text collide. One HTTP smuggling vector is the front server keeping a different header value than the back server when 2 header names collide.
