The barn is a unit of cross-sectional area, based on the Uranium nucleus (area 1 barn). Uranium is pretty large in atomic terms; the name is from the idiom "couldn't hit the broad side of a barn".

This sounds like my world and yes Execs can't seem to reconcile that their personal laptop cannot control a camera linked to an android app on the other side of the room. That's not what they asked for initially, they asked for the one-touch join the meeting crap that the salesman sold them on. Come hell or high water though once they get in the room they want their personal laptop to drive the meeting.

Main downside is this they already have you as a customer. A lot of these efforts are buffoonish and try to sell you shoes/eyeglasses/appliances after you just bought what you wanted from them.

High value honest and transparent ads can work, like say "Will it blend" or providing field related instructions good enough to essentially be the canon to say synthesier configuration and maintenance.

That is hard and bespoke. Meanwhile crap ads are very easy and adaptable. So long as there is a positive return being a menace or nuisance to the commons can pay. As spam infamously shows.

I think Zuck has a fantastic understanding of systems and where they're headed...and a negative understanding of human motivation and emotion (outside of their quantified metrics). That's why he's smart enough to understand that FB as a platform has a limited lifespan and to get WA and Insta under his belt when they threatened him, and to know that he needs to come up with something else if he wants to continue to accrue wealth and influence. But at the same time, I think his Achilles' Heel is people acting like the irrational apes we are: If you push someone to hate you enough, they will absolutely cut off their nose to spite you, and this works at the cultural level as well. FB as a brand is culturally 'out' now.

Or, as a kid who played Civ online at the same time he did, I'd describe him as somebody who could win every game of Civ through bug exploits and memorizing the mechanics, but is such a dick about it nobody wants to play with him again and that confuses him.

at a base, you can use heroku. That said, you won't be able to have your nodes communicate with each other. This restricts you from some of the more advanced featues. For Example, at my startup, we use horde to dynamically spin up individual websocket connections per customer for a integration partner. This was easy to do using horde and simply connecting the nodes together. Additionally, we can use the built in key store which is global to the cluster.

I would take a look at render.com. they support connected nodes and autodiscovery
That's a valid point, something I've read a lot about. I'm a "scientific" programmer, so my usage is similar to how I used Mathematica (20+ years ago), at my desk or in the lab. I keep wondering to myself: Is Python really such a mess? Are the problems related to use cases that don't apply to me?

I also wonder (could download the trial version and find out) how Mathematica would be for things like hardware testing and lab automation. That's more of a side issue than directly related to the points of the blog post.

But you're probably right about trying to fork Mathematica. Python may owe its success to forking ideas from Mathematica, Matlab, etc., without vying head to head with the mother ship.

Being a company also has its drawbacks, such as having to invest a certain amount of effort into marketing-driven development such as trying to keep people buying upgrades. But maybe a company with a BDFL at the top of it can avoid that issue.

I don't know if it's a problem with the institution or a problem with the reporting but you could avoid a lot of "But they're not fixing the root cause, just the symptoms." outrage just by confirming this assumption. More engagement I guess...

Everyone knows that fixing the root cause is the way to go, it's weird to see that some people seem to think patching symptoms and fixing the underlying issue are two opposite things and you somehow only can do one or the other and not both.
Yes I agree it would be better and more discoverable if you had a list you could select from when you click the "Play With Computer" button.

Node productivity changes after a few years, I can give you examples from my work from this week (no internet stories) where the npm packaging bullshit wasted my time , and I just had to hack my way for a fix and postpone the inevitability that a giant cleanup needs to be done in our dependencies.

After the sit I seen with my own eyes(not internet stories) I am convinced that there are packages like "red" that defines the color RED="#ff0000" and a package colors that depends on all colors, and probably a few big dev tools that depends on the colors one, this node/npm ecosystem is crazy but we are paid to maintain and fix other people stupidity.

EDIT forgot to mention why stuff gets complex after time,
you hit cases where you need to get a new version of package A , but A needs say a new node version or some new other shit, but you have a package B that will fail on the new node version with some stupid error, and package B was abandoned or the fix is to upgrade to a new major version... also you will notice that your packages are now abandoned and might have security issues when you inherit some old project , it is a big mess.

>I'm working on porting a foxpro database from 1988 that's running an active business which I won't talk about much before it's done, and have actually encountered in Costa Rica an auto parts shop in one of the sketchiest parts of the capital city of this country with a green on black phosphor screen running what looked like dBase III for what they were doing on old IBM PCs.

This is amazing value for money. A simple system for a small business working reliably for 30-40 years. In our world of tool churn (often seemingly for its own sake), it's unfathomable. But this is often what the customer really wants from us, they're just afraid to ask out loud for fear of being laughed at.

that's a tooling issue not a monolith vs microservice issue.

tooling can allow the exact same speed of deployment for tiny background processing without the need to completely segment your code base.
It's not a moral conundrum, and reddit is nothing like a genocidal fascist government.

There are times when I argue that "apps" or sites must be thought of differently than the Internet itself, but this is not one of them. Reddit has no monopoly on hobby chat, or on tiktok garbage, or on local communities, or on news commentary. It is not the same kind of network-effect trap as, say, Facebook.

If ever someone asks me about reddit or if it's useful, I say to stay off any community greater than about 100-150k. Use it for discussing specific video games or hobbies, or on tightly moderated subs with focused discussion.

If any sub has posts from "karma farmers", accounts with super high karma like 500k or more, then it's probably a place worth being suspicious of from either a utility OR an astroturfing standpoint. Lots of agenda-pushing.
There is literally no "you" that can be pointed to by your comment, which makes the comment itself irrational. No one person there is deciding this. No one entity at OpenAI is "full of themselves".

"We are a free-market economy" is simply not a defense of congress members being able to trade individual stocks with no restrictions. Free-market economies still take measures against insider trading, still place limits on how and when high-ranking executives can trade company stock. Placing restrictions on how congress members can trade, when they have access to material non-public information, is totally compatible with a free-market economy.

This is not a defense, it's a dismissal.
Oof. As someone who has never participated, every time a post like this shows up I'm reminded of how weird the twitterverse is. Such a microcosm of weirdness, the handles, the academic references (I don't care if you went to MIT for undergrad), the ego jockeying, the shared language of "almost-memes" like 'not all heroes wear capes', 'this is why we can't have nice things', and 'this is what peak performance is' etc et al. And tech bros navigate it as a game of sorts trying to embody some online peak performance version of themselves to signal "yes I'm part of the tech master race".

But! External cultural tear downs aside, I'd like to show some internal cultural self awareness:

Being mostly an academic but having done stints 'in industry' or collaborating with 'real' coders I can say without a doubt that all the jankiest tech lives, and thrives, in academia. Scripts that were written by some professor with no coding background in the early 90s continuing to output data for analysis today. Entire mega projects written by single-minded individuals trying to be the academic version of a 10x developer but they're creating 100x spaghetti code (I'm looking at you RHIC/CERN). Single matlab scripts that are 10s of thousands of lines long that take voltages and currents and output a number with an "uncertainty" that nobody has really ever bothered to externally validate or quality control besides the grad student who never finished his thesis 10 years ago (from an optics lab I worked in).

The list goes on and on. Hilariously, the most beautiful pieces of tech/code I've ever seen have also been in academia that will never see the light of day. There was this ~1000 line piece of OO code that ran a Kalman filter in near-real time on the all of the particles produced in Gold-Gold atom collisions (and simulations!) at RHIC that was probably the most elegant piece of work I've ever seen, written by a coffee chugging burnt out grad student that sat alone in the corner day in and day out.
I thought it was a direct bit or foreshadowing for the later paragraph:

Everything is moving to Discord. Even subreddits. I finally installed the app yesterday because the Minecraft server I hang out on is down while updating to 1.18.1 and it's the only place to get updates. I had a sense this was happening when I found out several forums I thought died off (while still being up) had just moved the bulk of activity to Discord, but it seems to have accelerated in the last year.
I'd do it the other way around, I expect senators to abstain if they even have a whiff of conflict of interest.

IME reducing iteration time is one of the best ways to increase my productivity.

I like Android Studio's approach to running unit tests: It will run them on the host PC instead of deploying them to the target, so you can avoid the often long deployment process.
It won't search forked repositories either, which is a pain when trying to find something - you're better off pulling and grepping.

(If you have forked a long-dead project and are working on it Github support can "decouple" it from the original and then you can search it.)
My ex gf is Russian / Ukrainian; While dating I asked her about this. Basically she said: Ukraine is run by mobsters and you can’t build anything without their involvement and they’ll make sure it’s only barely worth your while. The Russians in Ukraine just want to swap Ukrainian mobsters for Russian mobsters who they believe be fairer to them. As for Belarus she tells
me: Lukashenko is often asked if he would reunite with Russia; he responds by saying that’ll be great as he will then lead all of Russia. So it’s actually Lukashenko that is putting off reunification.

It’s my opinion that if the West really wanted to end the war in Ukraine they would need to help ending the mobsterism there that’s driving the Russian Ukrainians into Russian hands. Instead it seems that the West are instead supporting these same mobsters as a way of attacking Russia and the poor Ukrainians are caught in the middle of it.
Border security (same reason the Soviets held onto their gains), paranoia, and Putin needing an external enemy to galvanize his power. Plus they've taken the Crimea and effectively a large chunk of Ukraine with little effective pushback. They may believe that Europe and US lack the will for harsh punishments, particularly with Germany (among others) reliant on Russian natural gas. There are also a lot of ethnic Russians in the former Warsaw pact nations who might welcome a closer relationship.

I can't speak to the will of the Russian people, but anti-western propaganda has been common there for well over a decade. If it's even been marginally effective they may be more geared up for conflict than people expect.

Would you ask what rational reason China has to invade Taiwan?

Your problem is WebLogic, not Java. Try a lightweight app framework (Dropwizard, SpringBoot...) that embeds the "app server" right into your app. Of course if you're using WebLogic, you probably don't have a choice.

> I think stock trades should be disclosed online the same evening that they are placed

That's not the normal insider trading rule. The normal insider trading rule is that you cannot trade on inside information at all.

> so that the information that senators and congressman are acting on is quickly disseminated.

The way to do that is to disseminate the information before making any trades, so everyone has an opportunity to decide whether they want to trade on it.
It seems to be a common view in Russia - I spoke with my wife’s grandmother earlier today, and she said she’d wait to hear the truth about it from Putin. Anything that disagrees with his pronouncements is “fascist propaganda”. She has R1 on in the background 24 hours a day. She isn’t unusual in this.

It also isn’t a uniquely Russian problem, by a long shot, but the control of media by the state there exacerbates it substantially.
He didn’t solve the old problem, he made a new data structure and kept an old algorithm.

If you stick with the initial pattern, the same problem in information transmission across the gaps in the structure remain.

If you fill gaps in a medium, info can cross. Whaaat

This does not highlight how clever this mathematician is so much as reveal how banal the initial problem was.
>" so that the information that senators and congressman are acting on is quickly disseminated."

No matter how quickly this information gets out, they still have first mover advantage. There is simply no way to compete with that.

Well summarized, grandparent!

> On the Python side I think the movement has started to fix the packaging mess. It's going to take a while me thinks.

I hope you are right, but ... this is the pattern: every year or two someone decides to fix it, goes about 80% of the way to a complete solution (which is maybe 50% of the effort, of course), that becomes 'the thing to use'. But then it is abandoned because that last 20% of functionality is a lot of work, and someone else comes up with a new shiny thing, and the cycle starts again.

Not holding my breath, in other words.
