Yes, if cloud storage & access is a key feature, there are some costs that scale with usage. But with a note-taking app like this, both bandwidth and storage from any user should be down in the $0.01-per-month or even per-year range.

I think Obsidian has a much better model - I can run it independently as much as I like, and if I find it useful (or want to give them more support), I can sign up for their cloud syncing service.

I think there are certain points/periods in one's career where remote work is incredibly beneficial, whereas there are some other points where remote work is not. IMO, when you've reached a point in your career where you are happy to not further advance (role wise), and you care a lot more about managing your time to take care of your family, or maybe you just want to be a mercenary and jump from contract to contract, remote is great.

I think younger people who want to progress and learn a ton through osmosis, and develop their professional networks should be in person.

I think the future needs to be all about flexibility, with well understood trade-offs.

The companies which offer this flexibility will attract the best talent.

I mean they could, but they skimped out on just getting a halfway decent filter for frequencies 200MHz away from their signals what are the odds they'd pay for that.

I do recommend the book "The High Cost of Free Parking." The podcast EconTalk did an episode with him too.

It's very clear to me after reading these that government enforced parking minimums and free parking should go.

If Boeing sold planes with altimeters that rely on frequencies that weren't allotted to aviation, then Boeing sold defective planes and should absolutely be responsible for retrofitting them. The fact that those frequencies are recently coming into use is immaterial.

It would be different if Boeing designed their altimeters to only depend on spectrum that was allocated for aviation, but then the FCC came along and carved the 5G spectrum out of the aviation spectrum after Boeing built its planes.
Flying that much in anything less than first class is no where near luxury.

187MB of symbols seems like alot! Kind of funny that this bloat could be reduced by X% just by having a shorter path in the CI pipeline and not even stripping, also surprising that xcode doesn't strip swift symbols by default for a release build? Some low hanging fruit right there
Shit point for who? The commuters who drive in from the outer burbs, or the people who live within the walkable area and provide the density needed to support a rich ecosystem of shops and restaurants within a close proximity?

The point of this urban design trend is to not think of these regions as destinations, but rather as places you live in and so can avoid the car trips in the first place. If you can walk there, why is parking relevant?

Is it friendly towards the people who live in suburban housing developments who need a car to get anywhere? No. But those people chose to live in a place where you need a car to get everywhere, so they shouldn't be surprised their lifestyle isn't accommodated in districts that have made a conscious decision to be less car-centric.

"But only the rich people can afford to live in the cute small downtown!" Great... that's telling you something about the market desirability of small, dense walkable regions. Why don't we get rid of more zoning codes and build more places that the market demands?
No, I would agree that something with a smaller runtime might be considered closer to the metal, I was talking about level of abstraction, which I think is different. One example is that a typical C code that depends on a libc is farther from the machine than C code that runs without a libc. Both might use very similar styles.

I'm also not saying JIT vs. AOT is an irrelevant distinction in practice -- like everyone else, I like my programs to start fast. But in the end, you have machine code in RAM either way; the level of abstraction is, all else being equal, the same.

The precise details of how that machine code gets there change nothing about how the program is written. The emphasis people put on those details aren't always warranted. I don't think they matter at all for typical backend code, which is one of Go's main niches.

Edit: The earlier version of this response was maybe unnecessarily pointed, I expanded and toned it down a bit.
What you should have is the option to chose to only run software whose source code/documentation/etc meets your needs.

Also that the devices' uses should be up to their owners, not their manufacturers. Devices are tools, not services.
Airplanes have a lifespan, older ones are mostly retired, and the rest need their radios updated to modern standards anyway. Airplanes from the 1950s normally will last essentially forever, but modern airplanes are built with lighter materials that have the downside of metal fatigue from normal flexing and so they have to be retired after so many uses. (beware of this when flying backward country airlines, it isn't unheard of for a "retired" airplane to be put back into service in a backward country - Boeing thinks they should be retired, but their standards are conservative and so there is potentially a lot of life left in the air frame before it suddenly falls apart killing everyone on board)

Note, their are airplanes built today that don't have the metal fatigue issues - material selection is a complex process that each design needs to consider. I'm not sure what the 737 is made of.

I think it is definitely a primary draw; I no longer use Vanced (used it years ago) but I remember the killer feature back then was being able to listen to audio from videos while having your phone screen off (a feature that YouTube eventually added to the official app).

I primarily use NewPipe. I enjoy the benefit of not having ads, but more than that, I enjoy the simplicity and the drastically lower system resource usage.
In what market does VC-backed entrants selling at a loss to pick up market share not distort the market?
Sure, but the ability to do so is separate from whether it's a good idea or not.
Yes, forgot about the connection with Pat Gelsinger. It would be really disappointing if they blew Arc. In fact, given how much I think the current position of Intel is a product of their GPU project failure over a decade ago (look at where NVDA is today), I would put the most focus on absolutely nailing Arc and being competitive with NVDA and AMD in high performance GPU space. This would be a big morale lift and would probably be the first big step on the staircase to salvation.
This is a good move by Intel, they need to catch up to AMD in the embedded and automotive markets.

Tesla making the move from Intel to AMD SOCs wasn't a good look for them.
> I don't follow the paper's argument that "current exception design is suboptimal for efficient implementation"…

The argument of the paper is really that exception handling shouldn’t use a global lock, a problem made worse by the proliferation of processor cores on modern chips.
How is that the only alternative?
Gonna be a long while before safety and certification bodies for industries like aerospace move away from C++. All the tools for the past few decades focus on C++ as the main systems language in these cases.

Rust is great as a spiritual successor with more stable performance (in general) but the institutional inertia with C++ is strong.

I'm curious what a one-word, 4-letter, highly common name like make.com must have cost, and whether the cost is justified. In every startup I've been at, we were never able to get the .com (instead: Heap.io, Airplane.dev).

The founder of RemoteOK.com says they saw a big increase in traffic after getting the .com, but hard for me to know if that was just a natural increase in traction that would have happened anyways for them: https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1488166336878419975

From an engineering perspective, I would guess, as an avionics tech, back in the age of dinosaurs, these radio altimeters are probably of a very old simplistic design as to have dead simple and reliable electronics built with an absolute minimal number of parts. The carrier generation is probably just a crystal and an analogue multiplier with lots of phase noise and wide band so a similarly simplistic receiver can pick it up.
IMO, this style is most effective on a screen, and on a phone screen at that. This style does not fare well on the page, nor if you're trying to write on a complicated subject. It has the unfortunate feeling of superficiality. Many ideas or points require more than 2 or 3 sentences of explanation. And some ideas require many, many, sentences to present and explain. Worse, too many paragraph breaks can disrupt the flow and rhythm of an argument or article and create the expectation that you are once again introducing a new idea before the last one was allowed to reach a satisfying point. What can seem more direct for the writer, can equally come across as annoying for the reader.

I also think this style is based on the incredible low expectations we now have for the ability of readers to keep their attention, but that's another argument all together. Read some Henry James and you'll see walls of text that achieve a stunning clarity all their own.

Short, standalone paragraphs are very emphatic, though, if used sparingly.
It's an exploration in scaling, how could that possibly have been a "mistake"? The paper isn't advocating for throwing an exception instead of returning NaN in the specific case of calculating a square root. It's instead only exploring the overhead & scaling of various error handling types.
I've wondered about that. I put a video on PeerTube a few months ago.[1] It's a rendering test, of interest only to some people I'm working with. I'm curious to see how long it stays around and whether enough bandwidth is provided for streaming. So far, it's still up, despite very few views.

I believe they would have been able to recover had they cut the throttle and let the airspeed reduce to the point that they could manually trim the aircraft.

Hard to blame them though - while it was definitely pilot error when they got stuck focusing on trying to fix the elevator trim issue and neglected to heed the overspend warning and take the aircraft out of military power, this issue was no doubt precipitated by the lack of proper information that Boeing had provided to pilots regarding the functioning of the MCAS system.
> Also, this seems to have the same problem as mastodon, where I have to create an account for each tube, no thanks.

Creating an account per node is federation working as intended. The idea is that this is then your identity across the network, the same way that you create an email address with an email provider that then lets you send email to users using other email providers. Each node should then network with other nodes to provide its users access to videos from nodes it trusts (same as Mastodon does - you don't have to be on the same node as a user you follow as long as your node networks with their node). The trust model is centered around your trust of the admin of a particular node, which brings a more human scale to the tech (particularly as compared to something like YouTube).

Federation is coming back into vogue particularly now as a reaction to the Facebook/Google problem where a single entity collects all the data about all users of the platform and can unilaterally ban a user with no recourse. In a federated network a node decides what other nodes it federates with and so self-regulates. But email is an example of federated technology everyone uses.
Yes, by flooding our cities with 'zero-person-one-car' traffic. (An Uber driver going to a pickup point is a car on the road that is, effectively, transporting exactly zero people.)

From a fewer-cars-need-to-be-built perspective, it's an improvement. From a traffic/GHG emissions/more-roads-need-to-be-built perspective, it's a regression.
Idea for someone with a little spare time: a directory of open source projects and their maintainers with info about hiring them. I think it would also encourage more folks to adopt open source solutions if it was clear they actually had maintainers and those people could be paid for help.
Until HPC, HFT, GPGPU, compiler development industries select another workhorse, nope.
What I like most about it is that it slots cleanly into the education budget bucket that is normally allocated at large corporates (atleast in my experience).

It would be a ton cheaper than what that usually ends up getting spent on (generally re:Invent tickets and expenses).
As someone who uses Rust daily, I actually find that my ease of development increases wrt Python or JavaScript. I spend less time writing tests for silly edge cases because I can easily make sure that these edge cases can't happen, less time wondering whether I really have covered all bases, less time recovering from crashes in staging environments (or, in at least one case, in production) caused by me failing to cover all bases.

Doesn't mean that we all share the same definition of "ease of development" or that your ease of development would similarly improve – it might very well suffer, depending on the specific pain points that you're up against.

So may I suggest rephrasing "ease of development tend to suffer" into "learning curve may be harsh"?

Incidentally, I don't think you'll find much hype in the core Rust community. This community has always been very honest about what Rust does well, what Rust doesn't do so well, and what Rust isn't good at at all. I found this refreshing because I never quite saw so much honesty in, well, any other community, I guess.
> Those 737s aren't new, they certainly had permission to use that spectrum for years

This statement seems to be at odds with what many others in this thread are saying: that they were never approved to operate in this band. I don't know enough about this issue to know who is correct--do you happen to have a source for that since you are certain of it?
That seems doubtful. Europe might not have as much of a hard-on for free markets as the US does, but they aren't, by any stretch of the imagination, on the verge of abandoning market economics for labor.

Agreed that the recreational biking infrastructure in NW Arkansas is great, but not enough Fayetteville people bike for transportation for that to be a big part of this outcome. It's just 1% of all commutes, for example. Compare that to 4%-10% in university towns that use a lot of on-street bike lanes that take you more directly to destinations: Eugene, Corvallis, Bozeman, Madison, Fort Collins, Palo Alto, Berkeley, Ann Arbor. (Not saying those cities are perfect either, to be clear.)

It's true that shitty bike lanes on auto-oriented streets are shitty, and that off-street paths are great. But lanes and paths are not the same thing, and neither of them is the reason this policy is working in Fayetteville.
I keep in mind that OTHER NAILS contains the most common letters, but I play in hard mode and don't use either of those as a start word. My second guesses onwards are made up of clues shown and letters from those two words.

I don't understand the fun in playing easy mode and laying down words just to eliminate letters. I see a lot of people saying that it guarantees them a win in 4 moves, but once I adopted the above strategy I regularly started getting 2s and 3s. Four for me seems just ok, no big deal.

Well, I'd guess our difference in opinion is because I work securing critical infrastructure in multiple countries, and I suspect you do not.

If you mean "are Russian actors going to start knocking Youtube offline tomorrow" then no, but they have absolutely had active programs and groups operating against EU and US organizations for years. The US and Five-Eyes certainly do as well in the other direction, but to appearances they seem less willing to engage in sabotage of non-military systems and much more interest in mass surveillance.

I have tried to use PeerTube a number of times (when it comes up on HN, which it does very often). It is absolutely appalling in both usability (confusing, ugly and borderline hostile design) and technical (videos buffer constantly - this is table stakes for hosting video) aspects. I understand the appeal for uploaders, but I will never consider switching to PeerTube as a viewer. I won't even click a link to a PeerTube video because I know in advance it won't play properly.

I tried it out with Yelp and Twitter, both had a lot of bloat due to not stripping binaries. You can see this in the large "String Table" in both screenshots.

Yelp also has a large exports section for the main app binary, that's usually a sign of a problem because the main binary doesn't need to export any symbols, only frameworks do that.

Twitter has a handful of 4MB images, much bigger than images you'd expect in an app. I took a look at a few of these and they are just gradient background images that could have been drawn with something like core graphics to completely eliminate the need for an image.

Youtube and Google make money by being monopolists. They had (or in the case of Youtube, bought) a first mover advantage, grown their platforms aggressively and now they are milking the network effects.

There is almost no way someone could break the monopoly by making a better video sharing platform, not even Google could do it, that's why they bought a rapidly growing market leader instead of making their own failed copycat (Google Plus, anyone?).

So there is absolutely no connection between this reality and the "fair world" fantasy you describe, that could maybe apply to copyright, torrenting etc., but not adblocking on monopolistic platforms. The amount of money and ads views you generate for Google is a monopoly rent, it bears no relation to the value of the platform or its operating costs in a competitive market, or any other justifiable and "fair" income.
