I am worried about the third right now.
> Or maybe Intel thinks this will let them do sticker prices that are drastically lower and thus look better vs AMD et al even as they can still extract more money in the end? It's worrying. In fact now that I think more on it, Intel weakening but using this [...] they will have an installed base with a capability to squeeze it.

I think this is the most concerning possibility... people building servers or devs and gamers will be able to wise up to the shenanigans and then pick a competitor; but punters walking around a computer store are not going to appreciate the differences if Intel get away with making big claims on the sticker (possibly even spinning "software defined silicon" as a way for them to upgrade hardware over the wire) - for the average consumer this would making an already difficult to achieve informed comparisons hopeless.

Reality may be different though, it's easy to assume the worst with the blue chips - perhaps this is just an optimisation on their current practices rather than a squeeze on customers, the concern is of course if they will exploit this new capability to the full potential we are all speculating on.
Again, I wasn't trying to claim that Biden or Trump are senile. I was just claiming that the common argument is not only based on their age, it is based on their age + particular speech patterns/events.

This is not to say that those facts prove anything, as you rightly say they can be cherry picked or signs of many other things than senility.
The use-case of this app is that a couple of people editing things at a time, which is perfect for SQLite. It can read a lot, only struggles when you have hundreds of parallel write transactions. It's a big misconception about SQLite that it doesn't scale. It absolutely can if you don't write it a lot!

What does Snowflake offer you that you can’t get from Postgres or even an analytics engine like Elasticsearch? (I understand the general differences but curious about your specific situation)

Also what “upstarts” did you not consider over JIRA?
The language doesn't need to be lazy. Strict languages model laziness via explicit lazy values. For Nix, this would be some kind of explicit package type. Side effects are problematic though.
The demo.odin source file literally says:

Yes. But remember, with tools and automation getting better, this is a major source of value add that you bring as a software engineer which is likely to have long term career viability.
I’m firmly in the “sometimes it’s nice to work in an office with other coworkers” camp. Sometimes.

Yes, my point was only that there are more reasons than their age that some have started claiming Biden or Trump are senile. These people are probably wrong, but they are not simply equating old with senile.

I currently live in Kazakhstan (Aktobe) and I pay 6000 KZT ($14) for 200 Mb/s symmetrical over fiber, no setup cost. I could get 500 Mb/s for 8000 KZT, but don't really feel any need for it.

It always puzzled me why internet in the US is so expensive. I heard the argument that the sheer size of the US makes the infrastructure expensive, but Kazakhstan is even "bigger" per capita, and not exactly known for being an "advanced economy", yet here we are...

Unsafe code is rarely necessary, especially unsafe code that isn't just calling out to some component in C. You can easily forbid developers from pushing any code containing `unsafe` and use CI to automatically enforce it.

Excuse my snarkiness, but having actually worked for a bank and seeing the inside of the loan department from an IT perspective, the bulk of that translates into: banks will allow the people that are already wealthy to leverage to make them even more wealthy while working hard to keep those already down firmly in their place. Not to mention to take advantage of them by charging them exorbitant fees for the little bit of credit that is extended to them.
> Another example, would e-ink displays have been invented if it was not rewarded a patent? Absolutely yes, by multiple independent parties probably, thus should not deserve a patent.

Tell us, how exactly do you think e-ink displays work? Because everytime I hear someone say exactly what you've said above, I've asked them to explain it and you know what, they talk about the rotating ball gyricon which is Xerox PARC's patent, or they talk about microcapsules (often googling it as they try to respond to me). I like to be specific since I work in the display industry and if you look at my comment history you'll see how disappointed I am with the lack of actual understanding of the technologies involved and the blaise reference to patents without knowing anything about what's limiting progress in electrophoretics. In short, physics is what is limiting it.
Things are not bad because you disagree with them. Maybe you have some additional examples?

Very interesting! I would like to learn awk and this could come in handy.

I love emacs. These days I increasingly use it for more and more tasks from reading pdfs to writing notes to email. Despite this fact, something about the "doing X with emacs" is starting to bother me for some reason. It's hard to pin down why I feel this way, does anyone else have a similar experience?

I live in Kyiv, and 100% sure she wasn't selling actual fake IDs like author implies, but protecting covers for them. They sometimes have official Ukrainian insignia on them, so might be mistook for real IDs.

They'd better not convert that to undefined behavior!

First, the specification for malloc() says you can call it with size 0 and it will still return a pointer to zero bytes; this means an array of bytes having size zero is legal.

Second, having the compiler detect when realloc() is called with size zero changes what should be a library call into an intrinsic, whose very presence in the code is determined by the value of its arguments[0]. If you're going to do that you might as well just put exceptions in the language!

[0] Most compilers assume UB "can't happen" and just remove the offending code altogether.
To be clear, I do of course agree that the book had plenty of major flaws, including in its statistical arguments about the importance of "I.Q." specifically (or of some entirely hypothetical "general factor", whatever that might mean - a "factor" being merely a way of summarizing correlations across measurements, as opposed to anything causally relevant in any underlying model) to outcomes, and even about its observed distribution across US conventional race groups. Much of it would not stand up to even the lightest scrutiny nowadays. But its more general argument about the emergence of a "cognitive elite" on one side, and a "custodial state" on the other, might as well be called conventional wisdom today. These simply were not commonly-acknowledged facts in the mid-1990s!
Except necessitating everyone uses a Mac ant not something else.

Personally I would say something reasonable. But I know this is not the audience to state that one turned their back on the Apple and never once looked back.

So if you are fully a Mac shop your solution actually works. In my experience not as good as it could, but given the price tag quite a great way to save the money.

Office 365 is OK but collaborative working together still feels a bit clunky coming from Gsuite. But on the other hand as stand alone tools all MS Office Tools blow Google out of the water in terms of features. Esp. Excel. But Teams - well better than Hangouts. That's for sure. But compared to slack abysmal.

I would love to like it. Because I like the idea of keeping documentation/documents and communication aligned in the same place with project management tied in the mix.

But it is slow, has strange user experience behavior and PM with Ms Planner is limited to say the least.

The problem for me is not having a good alternative.

Imho this is something a startup should worry least about in the early stages. Use what is there and only optimize if the pain becomes (financially) unbearable.
With their previous tech stack, they were dropping 90% of logs via a rate limiter. This means that if you were looking to investigate a specific incident, the logs are much more likely to not be there. That feels more "fatally flawed" than "great"
Agreed - Teams has a truly terrible messaging interface. Organization is nearly nonexistent, and the UI is awful.

On the other hand, I find Teams video conferencing to be pretty good for video meetings. Once you get to a certain number of people, Zoom starts to do better interface-wise, but for a useful number of participants Teams has been relatively friction-free for me.
On reading this, it mostly talks about operating systems as way of analogy. It barely talks of programming at all. Best I can make of it is that anything that's not close to the metal is tame, weak, etc. Seems a pointless and antiquated view, and I don't only mean from friendly garbage collected languages, but also from sharper tools like ML-languages, Pony, what-have-you. This is the C is better than Rust camp of thinking.

The Nix language is just JSON + variables + lambda functions.

There's nothing "Haskell-like" in it as far as I can see.

And its real problem, just like with Javascript, is that it suffers from a serious case of roll-your-own-framework syndrome.

> why they should not receive a loan from the bank for the newest iPhone

Excuse my snarkiness but as someone who's been poor and needed a phone, I'd have got a loan to buy a 2nd hand phone if anyone would've given me one. Trouble is, both the companies providing the phones, and those providing the loans seem to prefer that I get the brand new one.
Where are the docs for the nix command?
My guess for the meaning of a "middle click" was to click on a reference somewhere in the middle of the text of the reference, say, after the authors but before the journal.

My second guess would be something having to do with a "middle finger".

Click on the middle mouse button? Okay: With an Amazon mouse, can just press down on the scroll wheel. With an HP laptop with Windows 10, I just did that: What I got was a circle with a dot in the middle, above the dot an up arrow and below the dot a down arrow. Research is still in progress in an attempt to discover how this might be used to search for, say, the Radon-Nikodym theorem! Or for something simple

y(t) =
{ y(0) b e^{bkt} \over y(0) \big ( e^{bkt} - 1 \big ) + b}

Maybe could do a middle click on an iPhone and then use a scanning, tunneling electron microscope to read the screen image -- give me a few minutes to set that up!!!
Using reddit can be made slightly more bearable if you're willing to build up a list of blocked keywords. I've got a vast list of subreddit, political terms, and annoying phrases in my block list that prevents those posts from appearing. It makes it a nicer experience.
Furthermore a test just twice as large would be sufficient to determine significance at the 1% level even with a two sided test if the same death rate continued to hold.

ivm <- c(3, 247-3)
con <- c(10, 249-10)
m <- rbind(ivm, con)
fisher.test(2*m)$p.value # 2* so that it is twice as large

I see it as a rather biased and unhelpful article.

The author makes the strong claim that "mindsets are not free-floating" because they are shaped too strongly by a person's external social environment and circumstances. While this is largely true, it is false and harmful in its absoluteness.

Interventions into thinking patterns such as CBT work and are effective. They may be less effective if the person has truly terrible circumstances, but poo pooing stuff that actually works just so she can advance her luxury beliefs is not good. People trapped in poverty need these cognitive tools more than anyone given how desperate their situation is. Poverty is every bit as traumatizing and difficult and impossible as she says it is, and such tools can help them avoid getting their spirit crushed under that hardship.

I think that she's doing this because she feels that the narrative that poor people can simply change their mindset and become middle class to be undermining political momentum towards helping them. She may be right about that, but that is no reason to throw away a practically helpful intervention that can help these people in the meantime.
Constant trolling? I use Linux on every device I own. If you're interested in stifling democratic development and open-source discourse, there are plenty of other operating systems that can accommodate for that mindset.
It's hard to answer this because you don't specify what exactly you find exhausting. Is it oncall? Deployment? Performance issues? Dealing with different teams? Failures and recovery? The right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing? Too many services? Something else?

It's not even clear how big your service is. You mention billions of requests per month. Every 1B requests/month translates to ~400 QPS, which isn't even that large. Like, that's single server territory. Obviously spikiness matters. I'd also be curious what you mean by "large amount of data".
Their pricing-site is just broken. You get the 10 Documents for teams on mobile or when you shrink the window on desktop small enough to force the side into a vertical(?) view of the blocks.
That’s what was said about it in the early 60’s. The problem is we have 50+ years of evidence that shows it was right.

The Moynihan Scissors is real.
Historically, this is why basic vi (of whatever flavor) was so popular. I could hop on any Unix and it was there OOB. I dealt with some mixed set of Solaris, BSD, HP-UX, Irix, Tru64, AIX, and Linux for so long.

For a host I did primary development on, I’d install vim (visual mode and then syntax highlighting was so nice).

But we managed config centrally with idempotent scripts that handled the differences (like no getent on HP-UX). We did have to install ksh88 or a clone everywhere to get a stable consistent shell. GNU was flaky on so many platforms then.

Vi was always there for those WTF scenarios, less as a primary programming editor. And it is so nice on slow connections, where repainting the whole screen for every keystroke sucked.

It really annoyed me when Linuxes dropped the basic vi everywhere in favor of nano. I’d be fine with nano as a default for accessibility, but at least have some vi in my path.

Our standard images include it, but I always forget when I’m testing/debugging locally with Vagrant or a Docker image.

Vi is always a little weird. I don’t think any 2 people use it the same. Everyone has their own go-to set of commands. Pairing with grey beards influenced me so much.

I actually started with emacs in college, but real life with 1,000s of servers forced the change. I don’t have the muscle memory for it anymore and have no desire to go back.

Nowadays my local neovim config is almost VSCode. But I still like VSCode-ish in vi more than vi-ish in VSCode. I tried, but inevitably do something that VSCode’s vim plug-in doesn’t support.

I do use go more and more for complex stuff, but often am forced back to shell due to old kernels still out there which hurts my soul.
That's a bad argument for defense.

If it can be used on one random person then it can be used on the hundreds of millions of random persons who use iPhone and Android.

And getting even 1% of those massive user bases to click on a link and steal their money or private information, would be incredibly lucrative even for the short period until the patch rolls out, especially for the wealthier iOS userbase as a target.

In my EU country, I'm still getting regular spam SMS with links to what I presume is some older Android malware that wrecked havock last year. So, if attackers are still at it, months after a patch was rolled out, it means they must be still getting returns on their "investment".
On that vein I had the idea of engineering floating plants to live in the nice altitude of venuses atmosphere.

Oxygen plants produce would actually be a lifting gas on Venus so pretty doable. Plenty of sunlight and co2 too.

But I hit a wall with the Mack of water in the atmosphere.

As a small company, HR is a very different beast from a big company.

Big companies have HR run interference so the company doesn't get sued. That is its only real function.

In a small company, if you are struggling with interpersonal conflicts you don't need HR skills, you need people skills. Empathy is the biggest one. It can be temporarily outsourced to people who do conflict resolution.
I think our field is so broad that it is somewhat nebolous to talk about the average engineer. But from my experience taking car of such a large system with a large amount of requests and complexity is outside of what is expected of an average engineer. I think that there is an eventual limit for how much complexity a single engineer can handle for several years.
We're comparing it to Snap and AppImage. Flatpak doesn't have enough meat on it's bones (or goodwill in it's tank) to compete with the other cross-distro distribution options, and certainly not with native packages. I'm frankly not surprised that Steam is constantly broken on NixOS, Valve doesn't maintain it (and won't due to how insanely different it's concept of package management is).
The archive.org [1] page has a preformatted version and more info.

Ah because of a bug in an app (or it's packaging), the whole flatpak ecosystem is corrupt and causes data loss? How is that different that someone mistakingly causing an rm -rf /home in an RPM post-install script?

Try again.
I guess I'm wondering if you're already using Google services, does any of that matter? Which search you use isn't a life commitment.

Search engines have been around for less than 30 years. I've used dozens in that time, and I plan to continue trying new ones, Neeva included. If they do something shitty, I'll bail.
Pretty much all know-it-alls think they are smarter that anyone else.
> typeof(...) is standard

I thought C++11 went with decltype because typeof was implemented by compilers as an extension with various subtle semantic differences than what they wanted.

I wonder why the C committee went with typeof instead of decltype?

I used to use sumatra myself, in fact before I started developing sioyek, I tried to add some of the features to sumatra here: https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/pull/869 .

Anyway, I don't think sumatra has these features:

* Marks

* Preview links

* Jump to figures if the PDF doesn't have links

* Portals

* Searchable highlights

And some other features which are shown in the video and github page. Also sioyek is available on linux and macos.

I find it very draining and vexing to work on systems that have all of its components distributed left and right without clear boundaries, instead of being more coalesced. Distribution in the typical sense - identical spares working in parallel for the sake of redundancy - doesn't faze me very much.

Two points/questions:

1. What stops the "Top coins to buy" list from really being "coins to pump so the site owner can sell to suckers" list?

2. Financial forecasts are notoriously inaccurate, even worse in crypto. Past market changes often has little to no actual bearing on the future and patterns can only be noticed in the past and aren't even real patterns. How is this site any different?
Basically all of those (except law) sound like things managers deal with and books on people management cover. You could start with Peopleware for one kind of perspective. And then keep looking for lists of books on people management.

With most of those: organization psychology, performance reviews, conflict resolution; you get better at them over time as you fail or see other people fail. Or you fail less by hiring experienced managers (or HR professionals) to help you out.
