Ah, the old, "I've sworn off carbs. I might give up sugar too at some point, but one thing at a time," said while eating falafel.

"Beans can't have protein. That doesn't make any sense. Protein is what meat has."

I have spoken to two different people with no connection between them who thought that beans had no carbs and no protein, they were "different," because carbs were grain things and protein was meat. I wouldn't normally judge people for ignorance, but both of those people used the terms "carb" and "protein" while expressing extensive and very strongly held beliefs about nutrition. They are not much different from anti-vaxxers in my book.
I wonder how much of this round is secondary purchases of common stock from the founders. I would guess it's a pretty significant amount.
It is up to the individual to realize that social relationships are something that need tending to and that it is an investment and not a waste of our resources. It is also important to realize that social proxies like social media do not really replace real human interaction and connection even though at times it can feel like they do. In the past we lived in a community, we grew up in one place, we got a job in that place, we had friends or at least people who knew us all around us, due to the nature of the industrial modern world, we frequently move for opportunities, have ample choice in who to associate with and all that causes a need to put more effort into relationships, not less, yet for some reason most of us still have the mindset of relationships will continue naturally even without tending to. What to do about is go out and put effort to have more physical relationships, go out with friends and play a sport, drink beer, watch a movie, be open if your friends initiate and invite you somewhere, do the same once in a while. Take an interest in their lives and also be willing to share a bit about yours. I move around frequently but i always made good friends at work, i always invite people to go out for drinks and a good number respond, we always bond over drinks and this then turns into a friendship. You won't believe the amount of people I've met who feel lonely but don't initiate, don't come to events that are initiated on their behalf for whatever reason because the event is on a Tuesday and thats the day they have their weekly call of duty round, basically people who don't want to make any adjustments to their life to get out there and hopefully make a connection.

Honestly, I've yet to find a backend that is as productive and performant as C# + Entity Framework out of the box. I've tried a wide array of other products, but somehow for ease of use this really sticks out. Of course scalability maybe be in an issue in the long run with EF, but I don't know if simplest and scalability really go hand in hand.
Building a giant space telescope where everything has to work right the first time is hard. Building a capital-intensive project like Webb on a NASA budget cycle is hard. I find the idea that everyone at NASA is a bunch of fools a pretty tiresome theme in these discussions.

We have ever increased the number of bullshit jobs that produce nothing. They don't even do anything to pretend they do something. David Graiber talked at length about this issue.

On the left wing, people like Andrew Yang, are proponents of UBI. The right wing is scared of UBI because if we do UBI, those bullshit job holders might just stay home. That will be a disaster in so many ways.

Flipside, lets not do UBI and instead do automation. We put all these bullshit job holders out of a job. It's exactly the same disaster, possibly even worse.

Lets now propose the government makes only themselves the only legal owner of any commercial robot. So Ford has to rent the robots from the government. That rent money goes to paying the bullshit job holders. It's the same disaster.

It's not just economical or political disaster. It's even mental health. There's a very large number of people whose entire self-worth derives heavily from their job. Pay them to stay home and they'll be depressed at home.

I think Keynes is someone who figured out first. The 40 hour work week needs to die. The best solution any government can do is stop changing minimum wage but start decreasing the threshold for overtime. We need to pressure the 40 hour work week down. Which is happening to some degree. Many countries have pressured down to ~37 hours. This is where we must go to solve the problem.
Good article, but I wish the author would've addressed securing these named pipes.

Consider that if a user-mode application can send messages to a privileged process (like a Windows service).

What prevents any user-mode application from doing that? And if your Windows service is running as "NT_AUTHORITY/SYSTEM" and even executes privileged commands, well you might find you've got a simple privilege escalation vuln.

Remember, secure your named pipes...especially when the named pipe server runs as SYSTEM.

They can still strike, which throws a spanner in the works of production. So they have some leverage. But who cares if people on UBI strike? What, will they stop watching TV for a day?
> Such maintainer will be kicked off from distribution.

Debian did this, they said oops and moved on. Packagers suck as developers, they apply patches they don't fully understand to solve problems they don't understand on codebases they don't understand.
> Apple do have a robust high-performance API, Metal.

Metal is neither robust, or, arguably, high-performance when compared to DirectX or Vulkan.

> Arguably it has the best ergonomics of any of the low-level graphics APIs.

It's not a low-level API. By Apple's own admission, Metal is hopelessly high-level and can only achieve the ergonomics it has by abstracting away all the features that gamedevs care about and putting the keys to the kingdom in Apple's hands.

> All relevant game engines already have Metal support, too.

I like how you qualify this with "relevant", as if I'd come up with a list of all the engines without Metal support and you'd wave them away as irrelevant since they don't support Metal. Plus, Metal isn't just a compilation target. A "port" to Apple Silicon doesn't entail checking off a new box on the compiler, it's a long and arduous process of porting shaders, bytecode, 32-bit libraries, x86-based libraries, API calls and more. Since Apple provides game developers no incentive to do that work, they continue to refuse porting to their system.

> There's even an equivalent to DXVK in MoltenVK. It's not that different from Microsoft's position.

Yeah, except the main difference is that DXVK gets near-native performance, while MoltenVK is far too slow to be considered for regular use. Do you honestly think a Proton-like compatibility layer could be built on a technology that needs to translate Vulkan code into a higher-level, slower API? Keep dreaming.

> It's possible Apple might make an M1 Apple TV with a decent GPU. Like the Macbook Air, it's likely it'd be cheaper to manufacture than competitors with similar performance. I suppose we'll see.

Comedy-freaking-gold right here. Let's say that you're right, and Apple does release an Apple TV with an M1 processor in it. I'm going to give you an insane benefit of the doubt, and we'll assume that they cut down the price to $500 (using the Mac Mini as a starting point). At peak performance, the M1 can churn through a measly 2.4 teraflops. There are last-gen consoles that were faster than that, not even to compare them to the 11 teraflops that the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5 pump out. Okay, so let's put a faster GPU in there: the M1 has 8 GPU cores, so getting it to be as embarrassingly parallel as it's peers would require us to multiply it's core count by 4 or 5 factors. That would require a whopping 32 GPU cores, the same amount that the $2500+ Macbook Pros carry. If they did make a $500 console of that ilk, they'd be losing money on every unit shipped for the GPU alone.

I genuinely have no idea where you're getting any of this stuff. Maybe read up on game development before responding?

Introduction to Entity-Relationship Model
Could someone explain to me in a clear and high level fashion what exactly pointer stability (or pointer instability for that regards) entails? I've watched some of the cppcon talks on the google hashtable implementation [0] and in that talk Matt Kulukundis also mentioned it affecting the adoption rate, but I always failed to really grasp the concept and its implications. Google searches also ended up rather fruitless to be honest.

In the EU industry PhDs are fairly common. In this case, the PhD student does R&D work for a company, and gets paid through an EU PhD grant.

For some companies, it's an indirect way to get funding, because it provides for cheaper highly skilled labour.

(Anecdote incoming) For example, many years ago at the end of my industry internship, the company offered to continue the project as a PhD, pursuant grant funding. When I declined, they offered a well paid full-time job to do the same.

'django saas startup kit' concept of the author is really smart

there's a hole in the market for people wanting to use frameworks to make saas sites -- frameworks provide great primitives that are subtly unusable for some modern web apps. Login but not saml, admin but not multitenant, forms but not multiple forms on a page

feels like this scratches an increasingly common itch of 'the web as a platform isn't shaped like what people use the web for'
It's a lot of work, and congrats on getting this far, but I would imagine there would be a bit of a trust hurdle to overcome being a platform provider? You have to prove performance and reliability obviously, but also the fact that you aren't end-running your customers or stealing IP, I would wager. Free is always a red flag. How are you planning on addressing the trust factor?
Yeah, as others have said: Is there anything in the private sector remotely close to the JWST in its capability and planned lifespan? If so, why hasn't it launched, or why hasn't another nation developed it?

This is a specific example of a class of problems I refer to as "Where the indirection go?" In this case, the indirection is in the form of a function that takes structured data and produces html. That function can execute in the server, or on the client. Which we can term moving a function "closer" or "further" from the client. This is easier to imagine with isomorphic javascript code, but it applies to anything (with an extra translation step as you cross the network boundary).

What you've discovered is a general property of systems that you want to keep your entropy low for as long as possible, and defer the final boost in entropy until the last possible minute. This keeps your options open. It also means publishing low entropy APIs and boosting in the client. In your case, you've correctly noted that it allows you to support different clients more easily.

There are 3 reasons to pay the price to boost entropy on the server: to intentionally make it harder to consume your API, to protect a proprietary boosting function, and because you didn't realize it was bad design.
That's absolutely appalling.

If the floor is curved, then the direction of gravity would not be perpendicular to the floor (except at the exact apex of the curve), so you'd have a weird sensation of standing on a slope all the time.

Instead, you'd probably want either a non-curved structure, or a flat false floor inside of it that is perpendicular to the direction of gravity. That would probably work ok though, since it would give you an easy place to run e.g. cabling, air handling, fluids, etc.

> i couldn't even inline my functions

You could, manually :). Either way if they're hot, they're inlined.

One common trick for open-addressing maps in Java I don't see in your implementations is to have an array of keys zipped with values (or two arrays, one for keys, one for values) instead of array of Entries. This improves locality and indirection a bit. Obviously more is needed for even more speed.

(Mandatory "in the future it will be better": Valhalla is coming in a few years, that's when we'll have much more control over the memory layout.)

There’s also a playground to play with modeling and typing here: https://electrodb.fun

Modeling, and actually implementing, single table design for DynamoDB has a lot of pitfalls and boilerplate. I wanted to make it easy and fast to define models and implement collections of models to get more out of a single query without scans. Having your entities dynamically infer typing from the model (without having to manually generate typedefs) is also huge win for usability and dx.
Not really, as long as you keep your HTML-driven interactions from becoming too fine grained.

For example, if you have a search page that provides management of contacts + active search & click to load functionality, it might look like this:

GET /contacts - get a list of contacts + search & click-to-load functionality
POST /contacts - create new
GET /contacts/:id - get the details for the contact
PATCH /contacts/:id - update the contact
PUT /contacts/:id/archived - archive the contact
DELETE /contacts/:id - remove the contact

All pretty reasonable and all can reuse the same few templates and sub-templates for rendering responses.
unordered_map performs even worse than map. Tried it.

I've found the best note taking system that works for me is literally to store my notes in a full fledged programming language with built-in OOP support.

So for (a super simplified) example if I want to have a daily note system, I'll just define (say) a JavaScript object called DailyNotes, and everyday I'll just append some lines to my code saying, in effect, add the key for today's date to the object DailyNotes and assigns that key an array and each time I have a thought or idea I just pushes ["thought", "…"] into it.

So all of my notes comprise a huge code project.

(My actual system isn't quite like that, I use a custom syntax + language server that serves my purpose better and faster (in particular, it makes it easier to write multiline notes without need of escaping and makes it easier to default to do the literate programming style of defaulting to text))

The nice thing about it is I get to piggyback on IDE features of vscode. All the "roam-like" features are available in VSCode and implemented better (think the "peak" feature, and the wiki link feature, which can easily be simulated by using function calls!

I've been moving from Django to Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView and loving it so far. I hated the Angular/React era of the web and mostly moved to doing backend development, but the Live App era has reinvigorated my interest in web development as a whole.

Been using them since 1992 but at this point I would naturally turn to sockets, even on the same machine. I can't even really say why though. Named pipes are nice because they are really more like a file but at this point sockets feel more natural because they exist and are supported everywhere.

The real industrial product, that these are the "recreational version" of, is the lab scoop or lab spatula. See e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Aozita-Pack-Lab-Spatula-Nickel-Stainl...

Bonus fact: there's a brand of lab scoops with a very fun name — the scoopula (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoopula). It's so fun to say that that's just what many people call lab scoops, not realizing it's a brand.

I've encountered various situations that could all be described this way but for very different reasons. eg.

1) The feedback is not actionable because the manager is themselves not clear in their head or is skirting around the real issue on their mind.

2) The feedback cannot be actionable because the manager only has partial information and can say there is an issue, not diagnose it and recommend corrective action. They are relying on their report to introspect and diagnose themselves.

3) The feedback is actionable, but the person wants the action plan itself to come from the manager. Not always possible.

In my experience the answer to all three is to develop the action plan together. Any blind spots and vagueness on both sides get cleared by this forcing function. Helps set expectations too.
