>Fortunately, we have an advantage here, in that we directly control the machines on which our system runs. We have automated almost our entire build and release process, so the moment a V8 patch is published, our systems automatically build a new release of the Workers Runtime and, after one-click sign-off from the necessary (human) reviewers, automatically push that release out to production.

>As a result, our patch gap is now under 24 hours. A patch published by V8's team in Munich during their work day will usually be in production before the end of our work day in the US.

I think the ability to recall sensory input is bounded by your memory. A menu helps you remember what you already know.
I can tell you that manufacturing businesses are difficult to manage, have thousands of moving parts if not millions, those parts are more often than not human.

I don't know why you invested in the belief it's just impossible to have a tight turnaround on review (it isn't), but let's just start with this: "frontline staff like in Fire Service were working non stop". The frontline staff in the fire service -- EMTs and firefighters -- are not the people who review city code for fire safety.

The "review" can be largely copied from other cities who have already developed similar policies. SF is not the first, second, or 20th city in the US to have such parklets. ADA, fire, and daylighting concerns are not in any way unique to sf.
Once upon a time, being an FAA engineer was a prestigious career move. As government work has become more and more stigmatized, so too has the brain drain from the public to private sectors been more and more pronounced.

I used to work in airworthiness and I met some really outstanding people working for the federal government, but they were dwarfed in number by the teeming masses of crayon eaters. Sadly, it's quite hard to get fired from the public sector, for a litany of reasons beyond the scope of this bitter internet comment.

I never worked for Boeing or GE but I'm not at all surprised to read those allegations. The ODA program was designed for the same type of world as FTP. To wit: the world was a different, less adversarial place back then.

What distribution did you use for the gaps between sounds? Feels a bit too regular to me. May I suggest Poisson distributed intervals based on the slider?

Having lots of syntactic sugar works out OK for Haskell.

For example, in Haskell straight-line imperative looking code is an alias for some underlying callback hell.
> But the system never produces a selection people see as flat-out broken & invalid

No, it absolutely does. Imagine a campaign issue where 60% of the electorate wants to plant more trees, and 40% wants to pave all the forests over with parking lots. Candidate A proposes planting oak trees, Candidate B proposes planting maple trees, and Candidate C loves him some asphalt. The final results: 30% for A, 30% for B, 40% for C. Vote-splitting like this is an unacceptable outcome of FPTP; it may not show up when we arbitrarily limit the system to two parties, but it's preposterous that we need to limit the vote to two candidates in order to avoid this outcome, and the two-party system produces all sorts of other problems on its own. This isn't to say that other voting systems are perfect, but they're all better than FPTP, which has no virtue other than being the simplest thing that can be called democracy at all (which mattered a lot in a world of illiterate people who had little familiarity with self-governance, but not so much these days).

Hopefully there's no direct work on them for exactly those reasons.
The problem with these tortured uses of "landlord," "taxes as rent," etc. is that they go both ways: I can observe that a superior title is still subject to the whims of The Man With The Big Stick, and that any funds you spend preparing your land for defense against The Main With The Big Stick's changing whims is a de facto tax on you.

But that's silly, because it isn't really a tax. And the fact that the state has a superior title in extremely limited circumstances doesn't make it a landlord.

"Adapting" to higher temperatures will mean moving at least tens of millions of people away from their homes because the area becomes inhospitable. Large refugee streams tend to cause a lot of suffering, both for the refugees as well as in the countries where they go to.
FWIW as someone who uses Xorg exclusively i do not see an issue with using a nested Wayland server to run Wayland applications. The only issue is that current Wayland servers only support running inside their own windows instead of creating "rootless" windows that can be integrated with the rest of the X desktop, but that is something that can be fixed at some point if needed as neither X nor Wayland limit this functionality.

There is a canonical definition and that's just that there is no more demand-deficient unemployment. Meaning it doesn't even require U3 to hit 0 let alone LFPR to hit 100%. It allows for churn, underemployment as well as unemployables. It's not a metric of achieving utopia, just a situation with almost no slack in the labor market for employers.

Bitcoin is consuming power to secure the integrity of the blockchain, that is the reason. It is not "no reason". If you could suggest another permissionless consensus mechanism, then Bitcoiners are open ears, it has been discussed many times at bitcoin-dev.

Bitcoin survived an attack from its own wealthy proponents, miners tried to increase the blocksize for speed, which resulted in the fork Bitcoin Cash. Possibly the number of validators will always outnumber miners.

And the code base is not stale.

> One is left wondering how well he understood the needs of the developers who would be using the Swift language and library, though he says others on the Swift team had experience writing apps.

Maybe a couple of years ago I read someone commenting on the /r/ObjectiveC subreddit that his problem with Swift was that it was pretty clearly not written by someone who was an application developer, and who had the needs of an application developer at heart. Rather, the language was written by a compiler guy, and for the compiler. It's interesting to see another opinion more or less in line with that one.

I was an iOS developer for 5 years. I've since bailed. I'll still do it as a hobby, and wish I could get back into it; but Swift just rubs me the wrong way. I never quite understood the antipathy some people have towards Objective-C. Is it the brackets? Boo-hoo.

> I don't agree. I usually don't care so much when a particular feature was introduced into a language

I care very much when a feature was introduced into a language, because maintaining compatibility with earlier versions of the language determines what features may be used. If I'm working on a library that needs to be compatible with C++03, then that means avoiding smart pointers and rvalues. If I'm working on a library that needs to be compatible with C++11, then I need to write my own make_unique(). If I'm working on a library that needs to be compatible with C++14, then I need to avoid using structured bindings.

If a project allows breaking backwards compatibility, then SemVer is a great way to put that information front and center. If a project considers backwards compatibility to be a given, then there's no point in having a constant value hanging out in front of the version number.

> I mostly care whether or not code written assuming version X can be compiled with version Y of the compiler.

Semantic versioning can only tell that for the case where X < Y (old code on new compiler). In order to determine it for X > Y (new code on old compiler), you need to know when features were introduced.
Thank you! This is exactly what I've been looking for!

Go is ok-ish, if you use small programs and solve exactly the same problems the language designers had in mind in exactly the same ways the language designers had in mind.

The constant repetition and near-but-not-quite copy-paste boilerplate everywhere makes it hard to spot the crux of what's actually going on.

Go has function literals, which are basically lambdas but a bit more verbose. Typical Go style doesn’t use them as often as other languages. You might assign one to a variable, giving you an inner function. But loops are usually written as for loops, not map calls. One API call that comes to mind where you might use one is ast.Inspect. [1]

Go often works well for replacing shell scripts, even without generics.

Tell you what, why don’t we require tech workers to wear a mask all day while they work at home? Better, cut off all these tech workers paychecks until some public health “expert” decrees it to be okay again. Then, force them back on unemployment at some random interval a few months later because “it isn’t safe anymore”. Don’t forget to stall their unemployment checks too… then yank their chain more with vaccine mandates and ceaseless masks.

I sincerely doubt most white collar workers are “essential” so they should never have been allowed to work during the pandemic, even if they could do so from home. It wasn’t right to let non essential people work no matter where they worked, period. Everybody non essential should have been on the government dole.

If the privileged white collar work-from-home crowd got the same complete shaft the common working class folks did, none of our response to Covid would have happened. Because out here in the real world there are a hell of a lot more problems than exactly one damn respiratory virus.

>10-100us for simple models (say, a fully connected dnn with a few million parameters)

I basically don't believe you. I'm a researcher in this area (DNNs on FPGAs) and you cannot get these latencies on real models without going to FPGA (and you're not synthesizing Verilog from TF, unless you're one of my competitors...). Just your kernel launch overheads for GPU are on the order of 10ms. For example, here's a talk given at GTC a couple of years ago where they do get down to 35us (on tensorcores) using persistent kernels, but on a mickey mouse network

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/on-demand/session/gtcsiliconval...

CPU (where you don't have to deal with async CUDA calls) won't save you either; again here's a paper from USENIX (so you know it's legit) that shows that lowest times for real networks on CPU are ~2ms (and that's on resnet18, far shy of "millions" of weights)

> They think aborting which is killing an unwanted baby is murder, but they ignore who takes care of the child after, its something I have a problem with too.

You all do know that AWS SSM Parameter Store exists, right? It’s literally a KV store explicitly for this purpose. Parameters are scoped by path, versioned, are have optional encryption at rest.

Like you’re using the AWS cli! It’s one call to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ssm/get-par... away.

It even has built in Ansible support https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/amazon/a... and can values can be rendered in Cloudformation templates natively.

> X11 is the antithesis of Unix philosophy. It tries to do a hundred unrelated things (compositing, clipboard, drawing, input, etc...)

Not really, aside from input (which is also optional) all of what you mentioned are provided by separate applications, not X itself - these just work on top of X.

But in general the Unix philosophy isn't some sort of dogma and it never really was. It is more of a guideline and it can be ignored whenever that makes sense - e.g. the Linux kernel itself.

Also if there is any philosophy that X11 has is its "mechanism over policy" one, which is also why it has lasted for so long: it gives you the mechanism to do things but doesn't enforce any specific way to use these things and instead leaves things up to the clients. This is also why you can use a TON of different environments and UI approaches on the same X server, including stuff that the original X designers wouldn't even imagine.
But coding is not about maximising keystrokes. If you were a copywriter I'd imagine this matters a lot. With coding the actual amount of code written is not very high, it's the thought that goes into it.

I don't code an awful lot but I don't find reaching for the mouse a productivity issue. Also the different motions are good at using the hand/arm muscles in more diverse ways.

However whatever works best for each of course. I love this about open source, everyone can pick what works best for them.
Python is quite readable for short snippets.

It can be quite a mess for larger systems.

That combination of trade-offs makes it a great language to solve interview style problems in on a white board.

You can alleviate those larger scale problems in Python a bit with good IDE support, embracing type annotations, and going with a style that prefers immutability over action-at-a-distance.

This resonates with one idea I've had. A email-only service: I subscribe to your email and get notifications when you find something interesting in the internet and post a link to the service.

Interactions with the service don't need a website. You literally send a email with a link to news@foobar,com, the service sees where the email came from, adds the link to your newsfeed and distributes it to your subscribers.

Ideally, you wouldn't even need to setup an account, just send a link from any email and your account is that email. Subscribing to someone's email could be as simple as sending a "subscribe to joe@schmoe,com" to the service.

What are these drivers you're talking about? Linux very rarely drops support for older hardware.

Things I remember off the top of my head in recent years: floppy boot support being removed, pre-ATAPI Matsushita CD-ROM support being removed, stuff like that. Turns out... you aren't going to be running modern Linux on systems that ancient anyway, because the minimum system requirements for just the kernel alone are already higher than machines of that era. So the number of people impacted by those cleanups should be ~0. Are you seeing drivers actively being used by people on modern kernel versions being removed?

You mentioned GPUs, but Nouveau supposedly supports Nvidia GPUs all the way back to the Riva TNT2 from 1998, and the Radeon driver should go all the way back to the original Radeon R100 from 2000. What are these unsupported GPUs you speak of?

Same with RAID cards; I see the driver for the Promise PDC20277 is still in mainline, and that's a PATA card from 2001 or thereabouts.

You can't endlessly upgrade software on ancient hardware; at some point the software outgrows it. Linux has historically been extremely good at keeping compatibility for old hardware, 20 years down the line. No other OS does that. But at some point things do have to go. I don't remember any time Linux broke something within a timeline similar to other OSes' support period.
Imagine you have a close relative (parent, sibling or child) that you love very much and don't want them to die or get very sick but they are refusing to get vaccinated. You could either keep pestering them about getting the shot, tell them they are stupid for not getting the shot, etc. Or you could sit down with them and listen carefully to their reasons and talk to them about why you decided to get the vaccinated. The first approach will most likely make them defensive and not likely to get vaccinated. The second approach may or may not work, but you would have made your best effort.
