Wasn't IBM's philosophy to have always two vendors for each component, therefore a clone from AMD and later an own chip? Probably manufacturing everything exclusively would've counteracted the idea of exclusive rights. They had a plan but not probably not expected the success in this way. On the other than, luckily they didn't planned for "vendor lock-in with eco-system" :)
Thank you! That appears to be the context I'm missing.
The problem with that approach is that it tends to create the false belief on developers inexperienced with compiler development that C is a must have for doing compilers.

Then one needs to go around explaining, that no, some one programming language could have been chosen and it was just a matter of convinience why C was picked up.

There's also the issue of ansible being very easily extensible. That would either have to go through some new compatibility later with golang or it would be lost. The plugin building story is not trivial at the moment.
That's a strange lens to put on it. Bezos wants a ship built, and a range of shipyards around the world tendered for it. This one won the tender, and they knew that they'd have to dismantle the bridge to get the ship out, and would have got permission to do it before tendering.

The people who decided on whether to give permission or not would have looked at the economic value being added by having the shipyard win the contract, and the heritage cost of temporarily dismantling the bridge. I imagine that the shipyard and the city have decided that the value of them being able to build bigger ships in their yard outweighs that.

It really doesn't have much to do with Bezos at all.

> Facebook was just in the right place at the right time and executed well.

I wouldn't even go that far: it was merely executed well enough that it didn't squander being in the right place at the right time by being terrible.

This is one of the reasons why getting a minimal viable product out quickly (where the definition of “minimal viable” includes that not-being-terrible caveat) can be so important when working on a new idea.
You make some good points but I’ll offer a little food for thought and a little first-hand anecdote.

I tend to agree that there’s research supporting the thesis that people’s inclination to post only the highlights of their lives on social media creates an unrealistic and frankly depressing comparison for the median viewer of it. Most of us didn’t just graduate from a prestigious university or get married or welcome a child into the world and it’s easy to be like: “well my life sucks”.

But the nicotine/sugar debate is kinda missing that we sell alcohol at 7/11 which is devastating in excess to my health, my loved one’s sanity, and fatal to the guy I run over driving. We tried prohibiting that and it ended very badly. Is too much Internet better or worse than too much whiskey? Debatable I guess, but, free country?

I’ve known Andrew Bozworth for years and we have disagreed plenty of times. But he’s in the top like 5% of people I know on integrity in all the ways we can sort of measure that as individuals: tells people the truth, keeps promises, admits mistakes, treats his wife and kid well, all that. And whether you agree with his life’s work or not: he’s not in it for the money, I don’t know his finances but he joined early, I’m pretty sure he could buy like a pro sports team if he wanted. He works hard because he wants to achieve his goal. I’m not sure I agree with his goal, but he isn’t faking it.

You can also subset a couple of weights and come in under 60kB, which is what most sites should be doing. (Obviously not applicable for multilingual sites and esp East Asian ones)

Edit: also, fonts are by default loaded conditionally by browsers.

That’s one of the reasons you typically use a preload to speed things up: otherwise the browser will wait for the first paint following CSSOM construction to know which font faces are used on the page, and thus what to download.

In other words, specifying the 200 @font-face’s possible on a site actually poses no issues - only those fonts actually used will be downloaded.

Although the books are old and the author discredited, the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" real estate investment series still have a large number of people trying to follow the author's advice.

The Turris Mox is also quite interesting. Of course any SBC will do and it's probably harder to run a non-Turris OS on the Mox than on an EspressoBin that has a similar SoC; the advantage however is the very extensible hardware architecture. It has optional PoE support and up to 1G of RAM, and you can also add any mix of extra USB3 ports, network ports, mini-PCIe slots etc.

Having said that, the problems solved here are fairly simple. I can do half of them in my head (how old are the students doing these quizzes?). Getting from the written form to a description that Lean can work with probably is harder than getting Lean to solve them. Skimming the paper, it doesn’t look like they included that first step.

What the Omicron wave is revealing about human immunity
Facebook changed when it decided its best source of revenue was advertising and that it would own the ad inventory (Google did the same thing, and with similar loss-of-value to users, which also devalued the underlying behavior the company depended upon for quality targeting).

I think that Facebook's only real revenue option that would have also retained the fundamental value of the social network and its effects was to behave either as a third-party sentiment/preference analysis service ala Nielsen Ratings or as a source of ad targeting for individuals (based on their sentiments/preferences expressed within FB) that could be sold for use external to the FB experience... and I have suspicions that even the latter might have eventually led to distorting that core FB experience.

The social network and the behaviors within it were only truly valuable if externally observed without intervention. By pushing behaviors that FB itself wanted users to perform they broke the uniquely valuable part.
Some criticism from the scientific community:

* Not peer-reviewed

* Not published in a journal (but self-published on a personal website)

* Questionable filtering excludes high-quality studies

* Questionable weighting boosts low-quality studies
> the extent of rp's "documentation"

Unfortunately, yes. My hope was that it would be compact/small enough to be "quasi-self-documenting" to the likes of "compiler writer types". Probably not to ordinary users. (The extra asterisks are to get nice ANSI SGR escape highlighting and/or rST markup out of the auto-documentation system.) {EDIT2: Also, I would be happy to add some rp.README if you want to contribute one. You seem a great explainer. }

FWIW, I think of this kind of generation as part of the Go mentality more generally, but I am not a Go user/in that community. So, maybe that is speaking out of turn.

I also have a C version of this that I call `crp` I could provide if anyone wants (and yes, short for "crap"). C is a kind of higher ceremony language for such things { EDIT1: but even more established than awk... :-) }

> And no, I cannot fool outside observers because I didn’t edit your post which contained the context you defined.

You say "Vegans are awful."

I say "I disagree 100%"

You edit your post to say "Nazis are bad."

Now the outside observer sees 2 posts, one by you saying that "Nazis are bad", and the next post by me, saying "I disagree 100%". Thus, you have fooled an outside observer to think that I don't think Nazis are bad.

> To that regard, I’m as much an observer as anyone else.

No you're not, you have knowledge that "I disagree 100%" was in response to vegans being awful, but an outside observer who comes in late will not have that knowledge.

> "There’s a lot of news about the big private equity funds buying up homes, but it’s actually the individuals who are driving most of it."

I realize there are a lot of "house flipper" shows on reality TV, but I don't buy this. I'm not receiving 20-30 phone calls and texts per week from "individuals" wanting to buy my house. I'm getting those calls from sophisticated commercial operations, who mask their phone numbers to include the same area code and first three digits as my own, etc.

Individuals aren't putting up "We buy houses! Guaranteed offer!" billboards every few hundred feet in my city.

I don't think that banks will even give individuals an endless series of mortgages. You can't declare rental income as "income" to qualify for mortgage loans.

I think maybe because you haven't played any great titles bespoke made for a fun experience in VR. I think this is where the Quest shines. It's not trying to play PC games in VR, but it has great titles made bespoke for it wich are great fun in VR. Same how you don't buy a Switch to play PC games, but you play the games made by Nintendo for it which are also great fun. Quest has the fun factor through its library of great VR titles. Without any fun VR titles, the Index is just an expensive peripheral. The ecosystem makes the whole experience make or break.

Web3 is not going to change the world
What is described here (buying a chain of properties year to year) is unlikely for most people. You can’t use rental income when calculating your debt to income ratio. Unless you have a massive income or an equally massive pile of cash, you are going to quickly run out of lenders willing to lend to you in your entirely over-levered position. Also, you have to stay in a home for a certain number of years for it to be considered a “primary residence” and therefor able to be mortgaged with a low down payment. Otherwise in each transaction you’ll have to come up with 25-30% down.
Maybe they found a way to push for reviews from the people who answer Amazon product questions saying they don't know?

Or they got people in from Wells Fargo to advise them on meeting targets?

More seriously, isn't it time that app stores were pushed to define common industry standards and those were enforced by external parties. In other spheres of life, we typically don't let companies mark their own homework when in a position of power like this (at least not all the time).

Apple and Google are known for their unreasonable behaviour this way, be it lacking transparency with rules, ignoring appeals from devs and users, and letting malicious software in (last one is admittedly a tough call at times)

There are things more valuable than money.

Not only are there a lot of legal problems with stealing that money, there are a lot of social problems too.

This is where philosophy comes in and helps the situation. You find the employees who wouldn't steal because they believe that money isn't everything.

That won't work because the systems aren't trained on proofs and proper theorem provers don't work that way either.
don't let it stop you correcting people calling their desktop PC a hard drive. We're technically on a tech board so the correction is _correct_.
That's just the small scale version of it. In a large organization this gets a lot more important. If you have multiple applications, and each needs roles like database , developer, architect, ... then there is a push to move all database management to a centralized DBA team, all devs to a dev team, all architecture to the architects team.

One thing that gets lost is the application-specific knowledge, which is the whole reason you are doing things. Yes, your database is now near-optimally managed according to $vendor, except it's a poor fit for the application, as it received a one size fits all configuration.

Second problem is velocity. If 1 team can adapt the database structure, modify the backend code and services, you'l go a lot faster than if you have to book a databaser for a week, a developer for 2 weeks, etc...

Next problem is implicit waterfall: The developer will hide data in the wrong columns, because otherwise the databaser has to be called back, which causes rescheduling and a rebudget( i.e. management now hates you). It's only temporary, everybody tells themselves, until the right person revisits the application again next month.

And god help you if the architect did not deliver perfect work the first time around, because then everybody is creating things that don't fit together. The architect being of course the guy/girl who drew some boxes and arrows between 2 very important meetings, at the point where business requirements were not yet delivered and nobody knew what the application actually needed to do. Architects are expensive, so they're long gone before the first character of the code is ever written.

Final problem: Your application is now spread over 10s of silos, and nobody knows what connects to what. Any maintenance done on it starts with someone walking around between silos, asking everybody what their piece of the puzzel is.

So my opinion is to do the reverse: Let the dev team modify the database structure, even if the result is clearly suboptimal. They will feel the pain from their mistakes and have the ability to fix things. It might take a while, but a coherent team will figure things out. A loose bunch specialists, available part-time? Not a chance.
Do you think this amount of money could be used to pump up some other crypto and safely (legally) profit on that instead of simply cashing the money and getting caught?
Against a strong reflex of "never change a running system" (because your first paragraph is spot-on and meta like this is already watering down the quality), I wonder if offering "inappropriate for hn" flags to the posting person as lightning rods to prevent that kind of discussion on the main channel could be an improvement.

Categories like "reply jokingly/consent without adding much/dissent without adding much/reply meta" that could be flagged while posting, and filtered out for reading unless explicitly enabled (per flag).

That would most likely ruin hn in one way or the other. Why? Because it must have been tried hundreds of times before and those attempts lie in obscurity while hn works. But how exactly would it fail? "What if" wargaming through possible failure modes is surprisingly fascinating to me (and difficult: in what way exactly would it fail? no idea!).
FINALLY. Can‘t wait for the failure of „meta“ (i refuse to let evil FB Inc. own that word) and see all the awesome devs working there, finally work on something else than exploiting the privacy of people to fill pockets of all these zuckerbergs…

> 68% of US people are Mg deficient, 3% are K deficient

My comment said that "only 3% of people in the U.S. consume adequate levels of potassium in their diet according to the most recent NHANES survey", which means that 97% of U.S. people (100% - 3%) have diets that are deficient in potassium (K).

> And considering how many are hypertensive

Excess sodium and insufficient potassium in the diet contribute to hypertension, not the other way around.[1][2] In contrast to potassium, 89% of U.S. adults and 90% of U.S. children exceeded maximum recommended sodium intake levels in the 2009–2012 NHANES survey.[3] With almost everyone in the U.S. consuming too much sodium and too little potassium, the high prevalence of hypertension (29% of U.S. adults as of 2011–2012) is not surprising![3]

My reading of that comment is that FB itself hasn’t innovated in quite some time. FB “innovation” has come through acquisition. The core company hasn’t produced anything unique or compelling in over a decade. Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus were all acquisitions.

I fundamentally don’t think FB can innovate. And I don’t think the regulatory situation will allow them to continue acquiring to grow.

An example of this changing landscape is FB failed attempt to acquire Giphy. Can FB survive if they are forced to compete and innovate on their own? I doubt it.

I am an owner of Oculus Quest 2, had some VR hands-on experience before and I think that Quest 2 is a solid product worth every cent (but probably heavily sponsored). It is a best of two worlds: I can use it standalone and I can connect it to my PC and play Steam VR titles.

Meta has interesting products for VR work: virtual desktop, meetings/calls with presentation slides. They are one step from decent AR: their passthrough mode is quite good.

They have enough cash to buy any decent VR product and a team behind it, if they see a potential synergy.

So I think Zuck's bet on VR may in the end play out. A hype around everything "metaverse" is unprecedented right now.

This is fair, but argument in favor of the approach is that it is so simple it really could be done with any backend language {EDIT: by a 1st year CS student in an afternoon, um, maybe.. ;-)}..Go, Pascal, Ada, even slow running ones like Python/Perl/etc. or slow compiling ones like Rust. So, were the design to be more common people might not be so prone to make that assumption. OTOH, getting people to not make wrong assumptions is an eternal challenge. :-)

My own view is that awk was done more or less for these one-liner/simple purposes but by people like Aho for whom full featured languages are barely more thinking than my 60 lines (in either doing the parser or using). :-)
