It's exciting to see another thread-per-core async runtime for Rust. It's truly understated how difficult the Send + Sync requirements in Tokio are for writing regular code. It's typically rare for async tasks in Tokio to be used across two threads simultaneously, but now all of your data must be Send+Sync.

Plus, Tokio is unique in that it's one of the very few runtimes in existence that's work-stealing (meaning the task can move off its original thread). Most other runtimes in other languages do not have that requirement, meaning you can use traditional Cell/RefCell/Rc instead of their slower, atomic variants.

Right now, the best you can do is write a thread pool that spawns a Tokio LocalSet to run !Send futures. In fact, this is what Actin-web does to achieve its crazy performance. Web requests finish so quickly you rarely need work-stealing to achieve good performance, and often the cost of atomics/stealing is greater than the performance gain.
This is a known tactic by alarmists, create an emotional reaction that doesn't match reality. Double down on that alternative reality.

1. Cite exactly what they said in the presentation, and in particular did they compare actual games, or synthetic benchmarks?

2. It is insanely competitive, especially given power consumption, with the NVidia card in both synthetic benchmarks and video editing. Not so much with games…but that's complicated by most games still running in Rosetta. https://www.anandtech.com/show/17024/apple-m1-max-performanc...

3. Video is not an edge case. And how can I claim that? Because you are here citing…a video.

Seriously, the cryptic statement could mean your message above should have called 911 instead of letting you enter the digits 9, 1, 1 into a message

this highlights that phones are now multi use. What's "making a phone call" is no longer clear. I "call my friends" via zoom/meet/fb messenger/line/slack/discord. I don't use phone numbers to call people. are all those varied services required to handle 911? I can "call people" via dating apps. Are the also required to handle this situation?

Every time this article shows up on HN I give mastodon a shot. I've tried to launch mastodon multiple times over the past few years. It is non-trivial for someone who doesn't know the dozen components involved, and not just the docker image. I hope someone makes a better docker container that is a little more plug-and-play with AWS or DigialOcean.
The model I'm describing contains two pieces:
1) Moving away from sidecars to per-node proxies that can be better integrated into the Linux kernel concept of namespacing instead of artificially injecting them with complicated iptables redirection logic at the network level.
2) Providing the HTTP awareness directly with eBPF using eBPF-based protocol parsers. The parser itself is written in eBPF which has a ton of security benefits because it runs in a sandboxed environment.

We are doing both. Aspect 2) is currently done for HTTP visibility and we will be working on connection splicing and HTTP header mutation going forward.
Cheap battery replacements, the option to disable the "feature", etc, only happened after they were sued.

The idea was good, but it was implemented in a way that created issues for some users (eg: my iPhone 5 being sluggish all the time) and benefited Apple as most users would simply buy a new iPhone because no one knew what was going on.
First of all, why do so many feel the need to polarize everything and turn it into a a partisan battle? We need less of this not more!

Second, police are local. Generally conservative opposition is to large federal government. This is a purely subjective take, I'm not taking sides.
Crypto doesn't claim to be a telecoms network, it claims to be an asset. If you double the number of people owning stocks, or bond or oil, it doesn't make the stock, bond or oil four times as valuable as before. It simply updates the market value of stock, bond or oil to whatever the new users paid for it - which might even be less than before (whilst the use value of collecting the dividends or coupon payments or burning the oil to individual end users doesn't tend to change much in response to more people using it at all)

And even if we grant a Metcalfe exponential relationship between crypto prices and crypto participants, you're still running into the basic Ponzi scheme problem that if all your value comes from the price appreciation predicated on the number of HODLers growing, it'll hit that ceiling eventually. Which means it isn't a particularly great store of value, compared with something like a stock that generates future income regardless of whether new people enter the stock market or not
But you're right; open source projects for extracting infos (like PubTator) are valuable but ontologies/KGs need ongoing expert (ML, AI, SWEs, information architects, labelers) work (unlike most of Wikipedia or GH) so it's tough to make something that doesn't suck in a distributed open source fashion
Valid point, they could be taking steps to offset that risk too. Hopefully.
We all wish we knew.

I have done many interviews before with engineers, I always moved someone forward in the process based on the potential, on problem solving skills. I'm not really interested if they know a certain stack or not, that can be easily picked up in a good team with some great mentorship.

You are presenting interesting points. I also live in Scandinavia though not too active in interviews yet. Will be though, on the interviewing side. In case you are in Stockholm, wanna grab a coffee? I'd be happy to know more about what you are looking for.

As a user, I'm constantly bothered by how poor the metadata is about how the app is monetized. And this problem occurs across multiple platforms - Windows Store is even worse.

I do not hold it against developers that they need to make money. But when I'm searching for apps, I want to make an informed decision about how it's going to do that - be it through ads, through paid unlock of the full functionality, through paid subscriptions, or is it a paid-up-front app, or a combination thereof.

The ability to filter on this critical attribute is slim-to-nonexistent.
I think the gulf between research math and teaching math is so wide that it may as well be a different subject altogether. The vast majority of mathematicians are teachers, not researchers. If all mathematicians have at the very minimum PHDs, then is the difference in ability so great?

For those who don't know Bernie Madoff was an American financier who executed the largest Ponzi scheme in history, defrauding thousands of investors out of tens of billions of dollars over the course of at least 17 years, and possibly longer. He was also a pioneer in electronic trading and chairman of the Nasdaq in the early 1990s.

I certainly agree that UW should expand it's CS program even more. FWIW, they are doing it but probably not quickly enough:

- https://housedemocrats.wa.gov/hansen/2018/02/26/house-budget...

- https://www.cs.washington.edu/supportcse/building

I'd have to disagree on the "slight discount" argument. UW charges $12,000 per year for residents. This is 3.2x cheaper than non-resident tuition ($39,000). IMO $12,000 is still a very good value for what you get.
Not surprising.

The more complex a project is, the more difficult it becomes to make sure it's reliable.

I have way more trust towards an old nokia phone for that kind of thing than any smartphone. It's odd how security and reliability are better retained for more minimal softwares.

I guess this will always be true.

That's why it's always better to do one simple thing and do it well. The more feature you add, the more you need to increase constraints and add new rules, at an exponential rate.
Ain't seen what dedicated Sovereign Citizens can come up with when they decide to go all mountain-of-paperwork on an agency, have you? Any amount of time spent on those is a waste of time, and they absolutely deserve contempt.
This is exactly what I want. I don't want something federated, I just want to host a small site on a particular topic and have some moderation control. I don't need it to connect to every other social network, I just want it to be a small island that like-minded people can congregate on to talk that also has more modern features than the old phpbb did.
Same here, even though it's increasingly hard. All my friends say I'm stupid to choose to leave out.
I agree. I'd also like to see information for things like one-time, subscription-based, or repeatable in-app purchases (eg. "gems").

Apple does a better job of displaying this information than Google. Sometimes I check what IAP are available on the iOS variant of an app I'm interested in, just to get a better idea.
I've actually found it slightly better in single-threaded performance. Only slower with rosetta.

Yeah, I think about a very offhand comment that Carmack made once that ended up resonating with me a lot, even though I don't think it's universally across the entire board true:

> "Most bugs are a result of the execution state not being exactly what you think it is."

There is an aspect of language design that is about making it hard to be surprised by things. And I vaguely suspect that a lot of pointer errors fall into this category; people assume something is being freed, they assume that a subroutine is cleaning up after itself or that it's not manipulating something, or that it doesn't need to call some setup method before it's run. These are boundary errors between interfaces where allowing users to (inadvertently) mask what is happening can lead to logic that feels very convoluted and hard to follow, and can also lead to simple errors around just forgetting to do stuff.

I wouldn't call that Carmack quote a mantra, I'm not saying it explains all programming (or that all architectural restrictions are good), it's just a lens that I keep coming back to when I think about language design and architecture; there's a real tradeoff in removing flexibility, but there is also a huge amount of value in systems/patterns that make it very hard to bury relevant information. And if a language can auto-surface some of those problems, that can lead to cleaner code.

As JFK said about the Berlin Wall "Freedom has many difficulties and

The reason America is the greatest country in the world (i say that from the UK) is because nowhere else do individuals enjoy such freedom and liberty to pursue happiness . Don't blame democracy, understand it's limitations.

Oh yeah, I was just thinking currently. In five to ten years once AI/ML/etc. trickle out of tech/theory spaces and starts to be combined with subject expertise, I think we'll see really interesting things.

The other matter is that an Indian who could review papers that well would also cost more than 6k/year and would not be easily replaceable, which eliminates the main benefit of outsourcing for a company trying to operate in such a way in 2021.

In 2030? I'd say the odds are if somebody in Hyderabad can do that then they can start their OWN company rather than bother with us at all. Honestly, given India's role in pharmaceutical manufacture, I'd be shocked if things like that don't start popping up.

> This is what has always amazed me about the political party which are very much supposed to be for smaller government yet it whole heartedly supports the police in almost every instance.

There's a world of difference between what someone says and what someone does.

AKA: Never listen to what a politician says, only pay attention to what they do.

> I would think the party of less government control would be all for more police oversight and a reduction of police power. Instead they fly 'thin blue line' flags and campaign on 'back the blue'. I really don't get it.

You only won't get it if you listen to what they say. If you just look at the voting record and ignore anything non-binding you'll see pretty quickly that this is a party of Big Government and Thought Control (via Doublespeak).

What they say is finely tailored to their voting base, which is largely ignorant of what they actually do.
I also live this life. I let them in on some personal stuff, basically the stuff I am willing to post on other social networks. But nothing beyond that. It is not tiring at all.

There is nothing wrong with the global financial system. I can already send money electronically to anyone by way of bank transfer. In Europe, it's even easier, faster and cheaper than sending crypto.
You claim, "something new and interesting and evolving has taken its place". Could you give an example? I couldn't name a single epic, original streaming TV mini-series. The only one I heard of is the one about a woman who beats men in chess. Game of Thrones also seemed pretty dumb overall, basically you sit through boring dialogue scenes and tell yourself that this is smart until you get to the stupid sex, violence and torture scenes that you really want to watch. None of it compares to Casablanca, Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Terminator, Rambo, Indiana Jones, Gone With the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Vertigo, etc etc.

The idea that you're going to sit around watching TV for 10 hours instead of a movie for 2 hours means epic TV series are for stupider people than movies were for. Intelligent people do not (have time to) "bingewatch" TV dramas. Same with Twitter and TikTok; intelligent people do not like these formats.

Ask yourself why 20th Century Fox abandoned promotion of the movie Idiocracy. It's social engineering. Intelligent people are a minority, and so no one notices them getting phased out of society.
Take vault for example. Rather than have to toggle a flag in your service to get a secret, you could have the vault sidecar inject the secret automatically into your container, as opposed to having to pass a configuration flag `USE_VAULT` to your application, which will conditionally have a baked in vault client that fetches your secret for you.

Your service doesn't really care where the secret comes from, as long it can use that secret to connect to some database, API or whatever. So IMO it makes your application code a bit cleaner knowing that it doesn't have to worry about where to fetch a secret from.

The alternative is Amazon style titles which contains insane amount of details (because that is/was the only thing Amazon could search).

Ideally Google would allow the apps to be tagged as free, freemium, paid and app supported. I suspect part of Google reasoning is that doing so kill almost all the apps supported by ads.
Because it's something which is exceedingly rare, and it's more often desirable than not — for example, if your business partner breaks their agreement with you, you probably want a way to have a court enforced turnover rather than just having to write it off forever.

The larger point here is that there's no benefit to the user if the experience is replacing “Login with Google” with “Login with <large exchange>”, which is what it would be for the vast majority of users. If it's saying “Login with your private key”, it would be important to think about why OpenID/Persona didn't catch on or the already-supported x509 key support which has been available for decades.
