Yikes, okay.

I trust Justin Frankel, I don't know you, previous team or not.. The world can go on using Winamp 2.x forever and be just fine, its GRAS. If you're bringing something that isn't that, previous dev history or not, you're going to have to differentiate yourself from the folks who are also putting out winamp-alikes.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, that's just the reality.

Knowing what the code I'm running is doing is helpful in swaying me to your direction, even if that's not what you claim to be aiming for.

> should I be expected to do that when I'm the only one working on my Winamp reimplementation

Let us know when you want to change that. We're talented, and generally nice. Maybe some day you'll want some help.
I love what the Caddy project is doing, but every time I look into it I can’t get a straight answer about performance.

One of the top search results for Caddy performance is this Caddy forum thread with a response from the Caddy author: https://caddy.community/t/performance-compared-to-nginx/7993

But it seems to be dodging the question and linking to the most misleading possible Tweets instead of providing any actual info:

> Caddy is written in Go. It will perform just as well as any other Go web servers.

> Google, Netflix, Cloudflare, Fastly, and other large network companies deploy Go on their edge. You can too.

What a bizarre response.

They then link to a Tweet from someone who claims that Caddy performed 20X better than nginx. An impressive claim! But further investigation shows that virtually every other benchmark I can find shows the opposite situation: Nginx beating Caddy by up to 8X.

Performance isn’t everything and there are plenty of situations where Caddy’s ease of use might prevail, but I get nervous when project authors are giving cagey and misleading responses to straightforward (and important) questions.
fair enough. But qualia is the feeling that you get. So presumably, if you were to see "extended red", it would not seem to you - unless you consulted your less fortunate fellow-beings, that there was anything special about this red ...
> TW was informed about unknown pneumonia directly from PRC doctors around time when WHO was notified in Dec 2019.

I'm gonna stop here because I'm pretty convinced now you're just a CCP sympathizer.

TW was NOT told directly by PRC doctors.

> His colleagues in the media monitoring unit had detected social media posts about a pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan. The original posts in China were quickly removed, but screenshots had been reposted on PTT, a popular online forum in Taiwan. Some commenters feared a resurgence of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which had killed 774 people in 2002 and 2003, mostly in Asia.

Stop spreading lies and false information about COVID and trying to cover up for the WHO and CCP.
Totally, Trust above all.
Firefox had more than 30% market share at their peak, against pre-installed IE and Microsoft aggressive tactics. It was before the ballot screen.

Together with Chrome, they ended up beating IE, at the time neither had a significant advantage in distribution, at least compared to IE.

So in theory, Chrome can be beaten, except that unlike IE, Chrome doesn't suck, in fact, about the only thing going for Firefox is that it is not Chrome.
hm, forgotten about that one. I get why it exists/independent/opensource whatever..... but why does it exist? Far as I can tell the 'official' v5.8 version that's been around for download on the main site and still is for a long time works great. Maybe I've just been using it for so long I don't notice any oddities (or don't need them, it's a music player for godssake), and I guess they've improved interface etc on wacup but....

Why is it automatically a problem on their end? Maybe your monitor brightness is turned up too high. It's perfectly fine on my monitor.

More to the point, the people that are generally visiting their website are not the sort of people that would be wasting their time moaning about the colour of a website.

If someone moaned about the colour to them, I'd wager a bet that they'd know to never do a deal with that person.
My workplace had this last spring. Turns out if you let (Dutch) cycling enthusiasts work out during the workday they will go for 200km rides. Weekly. That's 6 hours of cycling. I was amazed that people took that liberty but the big boss took it in good cheers. No further experimentation with working out on the job though.
It was in Milan, Italy. Horns are uncommon but there are some random crazy drivers in hurry to get somewhere :-)
I've read this paragraph a couple times - and what I find intriguing is how it's the sort of thing that GPT-3 can write based on the initial news statement. Every sentence in it is somewhat tautological. Maybe I'm just more suspicious, but I can envision a time (uh, maybe it's already here?) when forums like HN start to get peppered with AI commentary...

This sentence, though - seems to be without any basis:
"Currently development of new products is going faster than we can understand the qualities and limitations of those products."

I would think that in 2021 we know far more about the "qualities and limitations" of products under development - through virtue of more sophisticated testing, more sophisticated test equipment, and advanced analytical capability.
You don't have to. It just helps significantly.

Thanks for sharing. 9 hours to run payroll at its best. Wow.
The main point of HT is to reduce the cost of context switching by keeping twice the number of contexts close to the core. I would guess that parts of the process context like program counter, TLB, etc live inside the 'HT' and would have to be saved/restored every time the process moves between threads, even on the same core. Reserving both 'HT' on a core gets you cache locality, but isn't there a cost to moving the process back and forth, even if that data is in L1/L2?

(I'm looking at 'lstopo' from package 'hwloc', Linux on my Haswell Xeon: 10MB shared L3, 256KB L2, 32KB L1{d,i} per core)

Given my (educated) guess, I've told irqbalance to put interrupts only on 'thread 0' and then I schedule cpu-intensive tasks to 'thread 1' and schedule them very-not-nicely. Linux seems pretty good about keeping everything else on 'thread 0' when I have 'thread 1' busy so I don't do any further management.

I can have 4 cores 'thread 1' pegged at 100% with no impact on interactive or I/O performance.

To be fair the same could be said about Sublime Text, yet here we are.

If JetBrains releases a free tool that competes well with VSC on core features, I don’t see why the community wouldn’t adopt it.

VSC is far from perfection, it’s only a step up from ST in that it offers a few more tools by default.
I was in a similar situation as you 18 months ago and made the transition into software development.

I (US based) spent lots of time researching all of the different ways to break into software development including bootcamps, going back to school, or the self-taught route.

Here's my personal opinion of each:

- Bootcamps: 12-16 week programs (some have longer) that will teach you JavaScript, React, etc where you'll spend 1-2 weeks on each language/framework/library. I chose not to go this route as they tend to teach you the bare minimum and you're forced to go at the speed of the class so if you are not quite understanding a concept you're on your own figuring that out later. Plus, how much can you truly learn if you spend 1-2 weeks on it?

- School: expensive and ~2-4 years to graduate.

- Self-taught: no real feedback loop as to what you're learning, no community to help you if you get stuck, lack of structured curriculum, and mostly surface level type lessons similar to a bootcamp (watch someone build something, copy them, get a short explanation of what's going on...)

I spent several months exploring each of these options and even dove into a few Udemy courses but none of them really helped me understand the core fundamentals of programming. I was constantly saying to myself "ok, you're showing me how to do something, but I don't understand WHY it works or WHAT'S happening".

Ultimately, I ended up coming across Launch School (https://launchschool.com/) a online and self-paced program that costs $200 per month. You go deep into the fundamentals of programming and come away with a solid understanding of Ruby and/or JavaScript.

Throughout the program you'll have assessments for each course which can be live coding challenges with a TA, written, or take home projects. In order to move to the next course you have to demonstrate clear understanding of what you have previously learned and pass the assessment. LS has a robust community of students all over the world and they have TA and/or Student led study sessions for pretty much every course you take in the program.

I highly recommend you check it out and see if it's right for you.
Cool. Thanks! I guess this feature is not available on macOS pre-Monterey (i.e. Big Sur)? I could not find it neither in macOS / System Preferences nor Safari / Preferences / Extensions.

as always gets brought up when this idea is proposed this makes a creator lose out when they become popular late in life.

Aside from all this it should be noted that not every country shares the U.S theory that the purpose of copyright is to 'promote the progress of science and useful arts' as per the framers of the Constitution, so it might be not be possible to get other countries to agree to reduce the length of copyright in the proposed way.
You could basically make this statement every year since commercial airliners were introduced. For commercial air transport, the 'bleeding edge' (which I put in quotes because it's actually quite conservative, relative to the bleeding edge in other fields) has always suffered from minor (and sometimes major and deadly) product quirks. Military aircraft even more so.

This is also why there's a very strong industry preference for airframes that are 'tried and true' - e.g. 737 variants up until the MAX, A320 and A330, etc.

All java applications are horrible.

DataGrip IDE from Jetbrains requires 966 MB memory just to work with a single (!!!) query file that has few lines of SQL.

I also opened a huge project in Visual Studio 2022 that contains thousands of files and it only needs 735 MB memory (however previous versions were much slower and less memory efficient).

So, avoid Java at any cost. Even JavaScript-based VSCode is much faster that any Java application.

>But, I don't buy the gemini thing at all. Come on, gopher? That's not at all what the web was about.

It's what I want it to be about, for one.
it was primarily android and gradle issues honestly within its jetbrains IDE.

jetbrains itself has performance issues, and you need to muck around too much to get them working properly.

the JVM also causes issues resulting it having to tune the environment params to get decent performance.
JB makes tons of assumptions and attempts to be helpful in ways that just are not; precompiling automatically, running massive indexing jobs causing the machine to bog down, assuming it has the right to modify your environment.

these are all things I just do not want to think about when in essence I'm navigating directories and editing files with fancy hover tooltips.

the standalone versions are okay usually depends on the language. I just want an editor with code linting regardless of the language.

vscode in that respect has been a god send. install language server and you're done. performance is generally good and the background tasks seem thus far havent completely bogged down my machine.
> They basically don’t have any other product that is competitive with vscode.

All their IDEs are if competitive means "they cost a little bit but they actually work and aren't loaded with invasive telemetry."
Hmm... so it hasn't. I would swear I've used it, but it's not working for me if I test it now. I'm mainly on ios now, so maybe that's what confused me.
The problem is that there will always be bugs, and you can't abstract away details unless you provide a clear and consistent interface. Replit neither provides an exact spec for how their system works, nor open-sources their codebase to let developers read how it works. There will be cases when it's impossible to know, "is this is a bug?" That's the definition of undefined behavior.
Microsoft’s Foundation Model Achieves SOTA Results on Dozens of CV Benchmarks
To amend this a bit:

* In order to sue for any copyright violation it must be both registered and the current owner kept up-to-date in a publicly-accessible registry. That way if you want to know who owns the copyright to any given thing you can do a quick search. Incorrect ownership records should result in the forfeit of the copyright.
* Provide a central notification system for all copyright claims. So to file the equivalent of a DMCA takedown notice a copyright holder would have to file the claim in the government-run system (i.e. not some unregulated 3rd party system). This would require that they keep their ownership records up to date.
* Penalties for false claims and should be severe. Akin to tax fraud.
* The sale of any and all copyrights must be recorded in the system and the sale price should be recorded for tax purposes. No different than filing the sale of a home with your state/local authorities. Note: This isn't the same as selling licenses to said copyrights.

We also need serious reform of statutory values for copyright violations. Copying a file (say, a song) is most definitely not worthy of a $750 punishment let alone $30,000 (the current statutory values for registered copyright violations). These values should also not compound based on the number of works that were copied. A single individual could copy (aka "distribute") 1000 books in a few seconds but there's no way that this is worth $750,000 (minimum) of damages to the owner of those copyrights.
haha! we have to add a note in this thread, for which countries drive on the left and right.
So your warning for passing signals are the same using the same logic.

This "us vs them" concept is where I think we've lost the plot. Remember that we're the experts in complex systems that we've been selling to the business to add value and we've been happily taking their money for decades. When they ask "can the technology support this?" we, like an eager child showing off our new toy, assure them that it can and beg them to let us prove it.

We can't just chunk these complex systems over the wall and say "have fun with that" and demand more money when the solution breaks. This means we failed to properly estimate total cost of ownership when we sold them the system and now they're held hostage. This is borderline legal breach of contract.

If we told them the true sustainable cost of ownership for a follow the sun support model they likely would have never purchased the solution in the first place and we'd be out of a job.

We could have lots of annoying jobs or no jobs at all. I'll happily accept the former.
This is a misrepresentation, before even getting into lack of modern feature support, webkit introduce a lot of long lived regressions on each release and Apple have changed various behaviours in non-standard ways in Safari over the years then left them broken and unpatched on old devices (looking at you autoheight iframes). This has nothing to do with adopting standards and everything to do with a lack of resources, stagnant release cycle and lack of care and support from Apple.

It's not necessary to talk about chromiums bleeding edge non-standard features, webkit easily has the least support for unopinionated standards released over the last decade and adopted by the other two.

> no platform uses the browser more than iOS users do. iOS users always are over-represented in web usage compared to marketshare.

What point are you trying to make here? iOS users have no choice but to use Safari. If you install firefox or chrome or anything that is a "browser" on an iOS device, it's forced to use Safari webengine underneath, so it's essentially safari with different UI, and this is apparent in the useragent string so any decent stats will show that essentially every iOS user == Safari user.
> I think this is where you get the problem - if you just have two sets of signatures, how do you tell which is legitimate and which one isn't? How do you conclude in which set the cabal was lying?

I feel like you should be able to deduce it from the distribution of participation after the fork, right?

The “fake” chain would lose all honest verifiers (and all transactions from honest wallets?) which seems like it would be pretty detectable with simple statistical analysis. Staked nodes not participating (and active wallets not transacting) becomes less and less likely the longer the post-fork chain is.
Problems - the screen is a matte surface that is really hard to clean, the surface absorbs fingerprint oil and smears instead of being wipeable.

Good lesson here really. Nginx is an awesome, powerful tool but quite often, you don't need something that sophisticated. Also, because of it's abilities (and legacy) it's a learned skill to configure it.

Caddy just "works" (the advent of Certs that "just work" with LetsEncrypt helped enable that).

That fills a real and important use case.
10-Step Guide for Anyone to Land a 6-Figure FAANG Job
Oh hey! Appreciate the work you've done, thanks for keeping the project alive!
My father told me the reason some years ago. As a rough sketch, it was because decades ago many highways used to be 'single lane', so if you had a truck in front of you, you needed to overtake it as you wouldn't want to be stuck tailing it the entire length of the road.

He said that above the "OK" there used to be a bulb. So if someone wanted to overtake the truck, they were required to sound their vehicle's horn to signal their intent/desire to do so, that's what the "Horn Please" was for. If all was clear, the truck driver used to turn on the bulb to tell that it was "OK" to do so.

Apparently, with time, the bulb went into oblivion (perhaps due to becoming redundant because of the widening of the roads) but the words remain.
