Even in smaller applications this is incredibly relevant.

I've recently written something that's meant to interface on a local area network, just controlling something on another computer, literally just one or two users at a time -- thing is the precision of floating points are a big thing here, and we have to consider that. So all of the bignum stuff had to stay server-side in C++ after much messing around doing math client side in javascript only to learn the hard way how completely broken that is. Fun fact - You can't maintain state when floats start to drift off of values they were supposed to land on due to javascript's crappy math libs
Weird glitches. Flicker, or colors being wrong. Things running at the wrong speed. Things not rendering right. Sometimes the game crashes at certain spots.

A lot of games have been perfectly playable on emulators since the 90's, but they may not have been totally representative of the look and feel on the original hardware. If you look at emulator compatibility docs they frequently will list an estimation of how faithful it is to the original hardware, and as well denote, "Completable" (i.e. you can actually play the game all the way through without something devastating happening, or you getting stuck because a door never opens or something like that)
That'll run five figures, if not more, in regions with high HN readership.

I just spent twenty minutes banging away - and this is the wiki I've been waiting for my entire life. It does exactly what I would want from a WIKI server, and has pretty much zero dependencies other than /bin/sh.

The built in WYSIWG editor is great. Handles Images flawlessly. Add Folders. Edit Pages.

It's quite a big assumption to think truth can always be bent so as to satisfy our ridiculously limited cognition. And math has been used instrumentally from the very beginning, so results are often much more important than the process. Theoreticians may still value elegance because that gives them pleasure or whatever, but few other people care about that as long as they can use the results.
I don't believe language prescriptivism has any merit. Words have value because they imply a meaning and if I can use a word, and you understand my meaning when I use that word, the word has value.
That's a rather obtuse example. I don't think anyone would accidentally type that.
Adtech needs a lot of JS to work. JS to determine how long they are hovering over this and that element, how long this or that ad is in their view, and so on and so forth.

The logical conclusion is that every single HTML element needs to be wrapped in a bit of JS somewhere. Nothing should happen in the users browser that can't be monitored by JS.
I'm guessing this would still take more than one hour since it needs to rewrite all (or most) of the 4TB?

Historically, porting console games from one to the next isn't always the easiest task since the hardware is so specialized. I think it's been fairly easy for Microsoft because they basically just put out a standard PC every console generation, and their controller design has been pretty much exactly the same since the beginning. But Sony and Nintendo have had some weird hardware. The PS3 was infamously difficult to develop for because it had some wacky architecture under the hood, and we've only recently seen somewhat capable emulation efforts for it.

And Nintendo's in a particularly weird situation where even if it wasn't just the underlying architecture, the consoles all have some kind of "gimmick" where you couldn't really play them on a different system without rethinking the entire game. Like, if you bought a Wii U game digitally, the game was designed around being played on a TV with a secondary resistive touchscreen controller. How would you play that on the Switch, where you only have one screen which may be either on the TV or handheld, and it's capacitive instead of resistive? Nintendo has ported some Wii U games to Switch, but they involved manual work to change how some stuff works. Same with when they port Wii games to it. Super Mario Galaxy was made for a Wii remote and nunchuck, and had a lot of motion control gameplay elements that had to be redesigned to work on Switch.
For the 150 million kids who use Google Classroom[0] (which includes Google Docs), these optional little purple squiggly underlines would wield unquestionable authority, indelibly shaping word choice for millions of uncritical children, subconsciously guiding an entire generation away from words that might facilitate wrongthink.

But thankfully the people wielding this power are unelected, unaccountable and far from Capitol Hill. Otherwise it'd be Orwellian authoritarianism, and that'd be awful!

I think it depends on the Netflix plan you choose; we picked the lowest level (SD resolution?) and it's free for us. Agree that the constant price increases is the last thing they need right now.
This is funny, because I suffer from the opposite issue... every time I try to bring up scaling issues on forums like HN, everyone says I don't actually need to worry because it can scale up to size X... but my current work is with systems at 100X size.

I feel like sometimes the pendulum has swung too far the other way, where people deny that there ARE people dealing with actual scale problems.

But as people have said in another thread, the engineers hired by his companies are probably “real” engineers with the paperwork and coursework and certs to prove it. I’m sure his lawyers have passed the bar, his accountants have CPA’s and the people mixing fuel are chemical engineers. Or, they’re all contractors.

I experienced factory throttling on my Thinkpad as well, its a T470p (intel) and I was able to reduce temperature by ~7-10 degrees by undervolting the cpu a teensy bit (and cpu cache as well I think). People recommended re-applying thermal paste but I got enough gains out of undervolting.
I work in an industry where over the last two years my employees have respectfully but firmly quit because "I dont need to work right now," my experience in the construction and hospitality management world. It would be nifty to have a non-biased source to give you, but frankly its not necessary. Why show up for work if you have your bases covered with free money from the government. I am in favor of paying my team members more, but I couldn't match the Fed's offer.

Regarding the inheritance, yea its nice, but where is the magical easy button that got him to where he is today. Your comment is sarcastic and not constructive.
College should continue being the default. The luxury, expensive, reality-divorced and book focused 4 year programs are what need to end. College should structure programs to serve the needs of a profession and be sustainable in context of the professions they train people for.

College remains the only viable way to get access to the top tier of limited opportunities and non-defaultable-loan-traps are laid everywhere. As long as both remain true, college can continue charging fees that are disproportionate to the actual value it provides. In a sense, college is a protection racket.

Today universities signal class and prestige, serve as primary research institutes, are professional sports academies are a place to have fun and incubate social movements among other things. From a university's stand point, each is lucrative business in its own right.

At its very core college is no more a place for higher education and training. If colleges start focusing on this, then we will start seeing sustainable colleges that 'everyone' can go to. I don't see my pipe-dream of scaled-back universities succeeding and that's because a scaled back university will never be able to attract folks who can facilitate quality higher education or training. Something will have to fundamentally change for that one bottleneck to be resolved.
I have a friend in another state who is disabled and on a fixed income. He is the only person I share my Netflix account with. I'd be happy to pay something in order to share it with him. But I don't like that a household of 6 can pay $15 for the service, whereas two single person households are expected to pay $30 for the same service.

Shouldn't the cost be per profile, not per distinct physical address?
Okay, sure, there are plenty of great old games that Nintendo doesn't own, but there are also many properties that Nintendo has complete ownership of and can easily make more available. They can definitely lower the wall on those.
Descriptivist language can absolutely describe things like "ain't", by saying "here's what it means, and also here's how you'll be perceived if you say it". Similarly, descriptivist language can tell you what people mean when they say "irregardless", and also tell you that it's commonly perceived as incorrect usage. (That's more useful than just saying "that's not a word".) You can look up a slur in the dictionary, and you'll find it there, along with some history and context and how the word comes across to people. Descriptivist language includes "how formal is this", "how offensive is this", "how correct is this", and so on.

It's useful, especially for people who aren't already steeped in cultural norms, to have a reference for "how might I come across if I say this". Words simultaneously communicate meaning and connotation, and it's helpful to understand both the meaning and the connotation. People aren't going to misunderstand the author of a text that says "blacklist"; they're going to understand just fine, perhaps including ways that the author would prefer not to have been perceived, or perhaps in ways the author intends to be perceived.

Tooling like this won't change the minds of people who are determined to be offensive (with or without the added assertions that they don't think it should be considered offensive). The point is to inform people how they may come across. It would be incorrect to say "this word is universally considered offensive", just as it would be incorrect to not label the word at all; it'd be more correct to say "this word's status is [disputed/transitional], with [an increased trend towards being considered non-inclusive], and consequent [doubling down by conservative language users]; consider avoiding due to any or all of offense, controversy, or politics".
We're implementing something similar to what OP describes, but we'll keep the "queue" in the DB in order to insert the application audit event in the same transaction as the data change. A background process then uploads to secondary storage.

We won't have billions of rows though, so once uploaded to secondary storage we'll just clear the blob field and set a "processed" flag.

This way we can find all the relevant keys for a given order, invoice etc quickly based on a partial key search in the database, and transparently fetch from either db directly or secondary storage as needed.
> Why are the current residents obligated to accept that change?

They're not. They just need to admit they want to turn their city into a giant gated community and have-nots be dammed. Then we can have an open and earnest dialogue about it.

Of course, the greatest irony is that many of these cities are heavily progressive so they won't acknowledge the hypocrisy. Instead they'll hide behind environmental regulations or "won't somebody think of the children" or some other nonsense.

As a funny anecdote: I've noticed that in the suburbs of my city the incidence of BLM and "In this house we believe..." signs increases with the socioeconomic exclusivity of the town. Seems that progressive ideals are great as long as you don't have to inconvenience yourself in the slightest to achieve them.
there is an ongoing global component shortage that affects all manufacturers. not sure if it was artificially created or if the shortage is real. i heard it had to do with the automotive industry changing their forecasts. but i find that hard to believe as many components have automotive variants.

> how my cumulative health decisions have depleted my energy reserves

I wonder about this too. Goodness knows that sleeping for ~4 hours or pulling all-nighters, eating the cheapest things on the shelf, and not getting in much physical activity late in high school and through college weren't sound decisions and are likely to haunt me for the rest of my days.

> if being lower on the Dunning-Kruger curve had some distinct advantages earlier in life (i.e. I expect things to be harder now which adds an additional mental obstacle and fatigue)

This isn't that much of a problem for me. In fact when it turns out that things put up less resistance than expected it's kind of refreshing and helps pull me along. The trick is getting to that point in the first place.

> What about you? Any specific things you think you could incontrovertibly do better in your youth that aren't likely confounded by other variables?

Hard to answer, really. Maybe sitting down and getting lost in the process of doing something creative… it came extremely naturally to me in my teens and early 20s but there are so background processes associated with being a responsible somewhat functioning adult running in my head now that it's considerably more difficult. Probably fixed by removing the need for those background processes to run, but that's not exactly practical.
I wonder where the rabbit hole ends. If the acceptable replacement for landlord is 'property owner', what happens after someone points out that 'property owner' is easily a synonym for 'slaver' if you go back a few years?

I strongly believe in equal rights for all, but it is hard to ignore the mounting evidence that a lot of people just want to go through the motions and not try actually make it happen.
Start a workers' collective (they're perfectly legal in the US) and run it as you see fit.
>I think the word "actively" is doing a lot of work there.

I'm sorry. What are you trying to say? I honestly don't understand. I used the word in it's generally accepted usage (see below).

Actively (adv.):

1. in a way that involves deliberate and vigorous engagement or effort:

[Source: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/actively ]

How is that word doing anything other than standing in for the concept above?

A quick google search for the phrase "x is doing a lot of work there" netted just this one "relevant" result[0].

That link appears to think it's roughly similar to "that requires some unpacking."

If that's the sense in which you used that phrase, I'd be very interested to hear what, exactly you think needs to be "unpacked."

Especially since there was no hidden/obfuscated meaning in my use of "actively." In fact, I meant it exactly, no more, no less than the the definition above.

I'd really appreciate it if you'd elucidate on that. Thanks!

Netlify for me is a prime example of a great company gone wrong by raising too much VC money.
The basic product of Netlify is a great one: build and host static sites without the need to mess with any of the tech stack. For us developer folk, this should be easy: run the build command of any static site generator and stick the results into an S3 bucket. And yet, something as simple as this became so popular with even developer companies (see Hashicorp’s quotes on Netlify).

This could have been a great story but then tons and tons of VC money came in and now you’d have to think of ways to make the valuation worth it and make the product sticky: so now we have edge Deno powered functions, lambda-esq applications, form embedded HTML and so much other features that are used by the long tail of their customer base while they changed their price to charge by git committees and have daily short downtimes of 1 to 5 mins for the past month (monitored by external services, as they wouldn’t reflect that in their status page).

Soon, they’ll sell the company to some corp like Akamai or similar “enterprise” outfit leaving us high and dry.

There is a lot of money in building businesses that do boring stuff that just makes peoples lives easier. But when you take VC money, you’d need to build a moat to fend off cloud providers from the bottom, capture the value for the top from developers and everything in between.
There definitely is a lot of pointless garbage in PC culture eh. Like touch bars, notches and aluminum unibodies, glass backs in devices that will definitely crack, single button mice, limited IO for devices... The list goes on and on.
It's way less fatiguing for me since I switch off my cam or at least the display of my own video image.
You should give it a try. :)
I gave it a shot at one startup using next.js that wanted to pre-hydrate redux state, but also use tracking with session cookies et al the regular bag of beans. I spent maybe 6 weeks on it and basically I grew to realize I was in a miasma of pain. I didn't last much longer. I could've wrote the entire thing just vanilla js/css in probably a weekend...

So I can commiserate with this.

Well, back then grammatical genders had not been conflated with sexual genders. It was, pardon the language, inconceivable, that they would be conflated. Lots of languages have gendered nouns and some have gendered verbs.
> I don't believe language prescriptivism has any merit

Seems to work pretty well for programming languages and communication protocols doesn't it? Why do you think that is?
The cynic in me is wondering if that will make any difference. It's not like people need deep fakes or even the possibility of deep fakes to believe that the world is flat or that Obama was born in Kenya or that lizard people are running sex trafficking rings out the basements of pizza parlors with no basements.

People look at the objective reality, provided by the sources that should have the most credibility, and just shrug it off.
>It makes no difference at that point what is shown in the address bar

This is ridiculous. Of course it makes a difference. The address bar is how basically 100% of users know what site they are on.
> You'd be making it hard for someone who already knows Emacs to use it.

It would be a burden for a longtime user to have to enter one keyboard shortcut to move into legacy mode? As opposed to making it weird and difficult for everyone else and then watching Emacs die.
I hope they expand their international catalog. 3%, Biohackers and Better than Us were all quite enjoyable and each had their own interesting cultural spins.

'Smoking' is really good (not sci fi, though, but I recommend it to everyone). Old Enough has been thoroughly charming as well.
My current laptop needs to be replaced really soon, I'm hoping Framework will announce either a recent AMD Ryzen or Intel's Alder Lake. The difference between the 11th and 12th gen Intel is big enough I don't want to spend the next three years regretting it.

Unfortunately Lenovo or Dell might get my budget if it looks like that's not going to happen for a while. This laptop has had a few too many drops off of my bike (which is why repairability would be great!).
They're really lousy at forecasting.

As recently as Feb., mgmt was forecasting 2.5 million growth. (much lower than 7 million consensus)

I'm sure their inability to forecast isn't helping.
Netflix content is only slightly above CBS/ABC primetime tv.

This strikes me as likely. Bitwise compatibility with machine ABI layout rules has powerful compatibility advantages even in places where it might make code slower. (And, for the large majority of code, slower doesn't matter anyway.)

Of course C and C++ themselves have to keep to machine ABI layout rules for backward compatibility to code built when those rules were (still) thought a good idea. Compilers offer annotations to dictate packing for specified types, and the Rust compiler certainly also offers such a choice. So, maybe such annotations should just be used a lot more in Rust, C, and C++.

This is not unlike the need to write "const" everywhere in C and C++ because the inherited default (from before it existed) was arguably wrong. We just need to get used to ignoring the annotation clutter.

But there is no doubt there are lots of people who think padding to alignment boundaries is faster. And, there can be other reasons to align even more strictly than the machine ABI says, even knowing what it costs.
SSR feels like an echo of JSF (that's JavaServer Faces for you youngins) - an exceptionally complicated way of doing simple things. IMO, SSR will follow the same arc in history - a brief period of popularity, followed by a lot of "what on earth were we thinking". Client side rendering is much simpler and cleaner.
My question would be, have you ever adapted to a social change that you think is bad? It seems almost impossible to live by the standard you're describing, unless you define "society" so narrowly that it only includes causes you're on board with. If I'm the lunch room talking about my tasty chicken curry, and a few PETA members come by to explain that the new term is "bird flesh", should I listen to them?
How to Ask Better Questions as a Programmer
If your tweet was censored or your account was banned on the basis of an opinion-based fact check, what difference does it make? The enforcement action was still taken.

It’s like saying that all police action in the United States is righteous and legitimate (you simply need to exclude all actions which are not). What is the value of such a tautological study/statement?
Thanks for summarizing this. Did they do any other clean-up when moving to 64 bit?
> on every execution that could be done once in software at compile time

Which is to me, essentially, VLIW. Those architectures didn't work out very well. There's a lot of memory pressure just to move instructions around and the costs didn't seem to outweigh the benefits.
Every decision maker in the world is an undebuggable black box neural net - with the exception of some computer systems.

I love starting off projects in vanilla JS because they actually get to a workable state most of the time without a lot of effort. Most of the time when you write stuff in vanilla js/ts you can just fit that logic in to a react or vue or whatever application framework afterwards if you really need all those bells and whistles.

I think a lot of people start things off thinking they NEED to have all the authentication, cookies etc sorted out from the get go when really you just need your ideas in a working form first and stuff like HTTP basic auth is mighty fine for development
I wonder what metrics drive acquisitions like that the most... I would imagine they might look more for products with a huge userbase, stickiness/gamification, or a demonstrably high virality factor, no?
