I wasn’t saying that every product they release is perfect right out the gate. If your bar is perfection, then prepare to be disappointed.

But Apple will stick with a product and keep on improving it generation after generation until it is excellent. It’s rare to see them go all into something then give up to chase the next shiny project like Google does.
Not the OP but I run a Minio instance in my homelab. It's not in HA-mode but is on a VM that is replicated across my 3 proxmox nodes. I just use a simple docker-compose file (17 lines) and haven't run into any issues yet.
Yeah, I'm not sure I fully understand as well. The only thing I can think of is that the trait was supposed to be from outside the crate (i.e. not modifyable), but then then, I'm not sure why writing a function that was generic over T: ThatTrait that took an instance as a parameter (or even `impl ThatTrait`) wouldn't work
> You have a lot of faith in these brands. Bombas was founded in 2019 by an MBA grad and a marketing graduate. They have no reputation. These aren't like hand crafted sock makers doing this for decades in Italy. They're advertising companies and they sold you.

Usually the story goes:

1. Bob is unhappy with his socks, can't find better quality socks anywhere.

2. Bob creates a company with the sole purpose of creating better socks.

3. Bob find a factory in China and asks them to use the best materials to create the ultimate socks.

4. Bob is super happy with the product and happily pads his advertising materials.

5. Bob finds a customer and places an order with the factory and is shocked at the price.

6. Bob tells factory to do whatever it can to lower price to competitors' levels without compromising quality.

7. Socks turn out shit, because price is too low and no economies of scale because order quantity is low.

8. Bob sells shit socks with original marketing materials and secretly vows to restore the quality in some distant future.

9. Bob sells company to an investor.
What they’re describing is leetcode style problems that require the coder to use an abstract high level language that makes coding easy.

Yes that's what I was thinking of :)

I'm a bit unsure what's the value in draining the channel (which is internal to this func), given that Go should garbage collect channel (and in this case perhaps even some escape analysis).

EDIT: Ah they aren't just closing the channel, but sending a time.Time. That makes sense, the timer wouldn't have anyone to send to if it's unbuffered.
Ah gotcha. Yeah I was alluding to ThreeJS, a very powerful and standard framework for webgl
The real issue is that these are narrow bottlenecks in very specific components that are used in existing designs. It's not that they can't be substituted with something else, but doing so would require reengineering the product and be just as expensive as the price they're actually paying.
The Institutionalist's Dilemma
Even if you let go the poor performers, there's still a wide range of ability in the rest. It also means people will do just enough work to not get layed off (or appear to do that much work), because there's no benefit to doing better.
They designed their systems to maximize the damage such warrants do to their users.
It sounds like you are reinventing HTTP headers and trying to put them in the body for whatever reason.

I've also seen this before, but I can't say I didn't laugh:

This was soon enough after the oil embargo that mpg was still on everyone's mind, and people didn't really use 4WD vehicles for general transportation at that point.

Just big, uncomfortable, expensive to maintain and operate vehicles that you'd generally use for a specific purpose.
I have a model and my own router; I don't use (or even have) one provided by my ISP. I'm not entirely sure how Tailscale works TBH, so yes I'm betting on them being secure.

Tailscale comes with a few other benefits that don't come on other VPN's. I have my home server setup as an 'exit node' which allows me to route my traffic through it when I'm travelling. Super handy sometimes like when I'm travelling and my bank decides not to let me log in.
I am in the UK so have as little right to talk about it really, though I did play in university. Basically this is so rare, it's in the name 'emergency backup', teams take a backup (sometimes third even) to away games; they have to both be injured probably in the same game (because if beforehand they'd roster someone else, call them up from an associated junior team say) for this to happen. And the fan/local has never trained with the team. They're nowhere near NHL level. They're basically 'traffic in front of the net' to whichever team, so it really doesn't make a difference, I don't expect.

(And psychologically for the fan/local, they probably want to give it their all in their moment in the limelight? Why throw your one night in the NHL just because the wrong team got so unlikely injured?)

Well,it's not always trivial. I'm not even able to log in to anything important without multifactor authentication that is either a hardware OTP of some sort, or using a private key stored in my SIM-card that is accessed with a pin.

It's doable if you really want to, but it's much more of a hassle that just running a script. Definetly not doable at scale, for better or for worse.
OMG, PTSD is kicking in for me here. I was in a similar program way way back in the 1970's early 1980's with Ma Bell. I was working at Bell Labs after getting my Masters in EE and they put me in what they called the JET program (Junior Executive Training).

First off, I never wanted to be an Executive, whatever that is. I wanted to do research, but when you are young and right out of school and they hit you with that you don't say no. So I went with the flow. They flew us around the country and we would be put in all these similar goofy psychologist designed situations. They even told us that they had hired PhD's in psychology and they where trying to figure out what makes a good Executive. I recall them giving us the Rorschach test and for fun I would say crazy stuff like, that looks like the nucleus of an atom when you are supposed to, obviously say, that looks like a butterfly, but fuck them, ya, it looks like a butterfly but for all we know that is what the nucleus of an atom looks like, or a super nova nebula, whatever.

These psychologists followed us around for 25 years and eventually wrote a book about us "guinea pigs". I have a copy of this book and I can clearly see me in it, I am that asshole, no question about that.

Their brilliant conclusion was that people with very high IQ's (I guess they said I had scored "off the charts" on IQ, whatever the fuck that actually means). So, OK, I am too smart to be an executive is what they concluded. But they never asked me if I gave a shit about being an Executive and maybe I was just fucking with them.

Anyhow, it was funny, and I got to travel all over the country on their dime and half the people in this thing just slept with each other and crap. Maybe that is the real test of Exec material ? hahahaha.

> As they say, the reward for being good at your job is more work. Expecting me to put in top effort for "the users" without compensating me doesn't work.

You do not work for free. You are being paid. 'Top effort' needs not to translate to working overtime, more hours, etc.
Google is anti-American and in many ways anti-human.
There are ~10k depository institutions in the US. Maybe 20 of the largest offer OAuth connections (look at the list of FDX members for a good proxy).

Plaid, Finicity, and Yodlee all purport to support both those direct connections with big banks and the long tail of smaller banks and credit unions. It reads like Stripe has built some direct connections (where possible) and is wrapping other providers for everyone else. That is also, as I understand it, what MX does.

It's an arms race. Promotion reviewers expect some portion of candidates for promotion won't pass promotion - otherwise the bar isn't being set high enough. The answer to this is that managers refine the promotion packets to ensure their employee's promotions are in the upper bracket - which in turn forces reviewers to recalibrate.

Eventually you are left with an over the top expectation of what a promotion case looks like. As an engineer at a FAANG I recently moved out of a team where I had built a range of services and was close to PE, because I found that I was closing in on a point in my career where I was spending ~80% of my time on promotion oriented activity... which in turn means politics.
The normal adult dose is 300-600mg every 4-6 hrs, with a max dose of 3 (formerly 4) g/day. It's right on their webpage: https://www.tylenolprofessional.com/adult-dosage If you want something more formal, Medscape has pretty much the same numbers: https://reference.medscape.com/drug/tylenol-acetaminophen-34...

A one-off 1000mg is, as you say, fine but if you're maintaining at that level, you are literally right at the DNE limit.

What does this mean ?
This is missing the point of such questions. They aren’t aimed at asking “how would you solve this easy task?”. What they’re checking is “since we can’t have you demonstrate how you would solve a complex task in the short time allotted to an interview, let’s see how you can solve a smaller pretend task.”
My previous startup worked with parsing PDFs, trying to apply NLP to the texts within PDFs - extracting titles, paragraphs, tables, bullet points etc. Oh my that was a nightmare. Sure we were doing difficult things, so that made us unique, but it was a slog. Working with different dimensions, pages upside down, sentences spanning across multiple pages etc etc.

I've also recently worked on a small tool called scholars.io [1] where I had to work with PDFs. I wasn't doing anything like parsing, but I just used existing PDF tools and libraries, which were much more pleasant, but still working on top of PDF is a challenge.

It's true though. Modern day China looks nothing like the 80s. The speed at which they eradicated poverty is unprecedented.

Of course if you expect Beijing or Shanghai to be as free, safe and clean as Zurich, Amsterdam or Copenhagen then you'll be disappointed...then again not even NYC, LA, London manage to reach such peaks in all the 3 aforementioned fundamentals

That's why , like everything there is a leaderboard in which you compete against others, as well as yourself from the past.

China is still behind when matched against the West, but nobody improved over their past self as much as them.
The theranos vibes you're feeling I believe is from a "flaw" they make an assumption solar is 1 or 2 cents a kilowatt-hour. This isn't true (maybe with subsidies IDK) but it costs more to ship solar panels, and the wiring, fuses, breaker box, charge controller, adds a huge significant cost. You can't just take a panel cost and divide it by the watts without this in consideration. And the land cost. And unless you live in Arizona you will have very low utilization.

BUT... when I lived on the grid I paid $.13/kwh. At 77kwh per gallon that puts us at $10.01/gallon. It is unknown if this is just syn gas or ethanol, or what the BTU of that gallon is. And this definitely isn't diesel, which would have the biggest impact. I know when my friend did bitcoin mining he was able to get $.03kwh so... let's use that 77 * .03 = $2.31. So between $10 and $3 a gallon is actually possible.

With gas over $5 or $6 (the company is in Santa Cruz? Their gas is probably $7 or $8 at this moment, I bet) ... this will work

The other issues are... United States uses 30TW of oil a day (convert barrels of oil to BTU and convert BTU to watt hours... to convert oil used per day in watts to speak of)... and 10TW of electricity a day.

To replace 'fossil' fuels we'd need ...70TW of electricity after inefficiency conversion.

There isn't enough copper, nickle, and silver to make all those solar panels.
There isn't enough public support or political capital to build nuclear reactors either. This is another flaw.

Another commentor suggested, just replacing Russian's oil at 4 million barrels a day. That's possible. And it makes it exciting.
attacking someone's appearance is the least pertinent way of contributing to the conversation around these founders, and this company.

I have written many thousands of lines of Perl. It is great for text processing type stuff but I don't want to deal with the boilerplate associated with marshaling errors through a deep stack of functions and stuff just failing with "undefined" blah and "die" everywhere. I resorted to Try::Tiny as a poor man's exception handling setup - either give me proper exceptions or give me pattern matching (Rust's Option/Result combined with ? operator is great in this regard).

Also, TIMTOWDI starts to suck in a team where everyone thinks they can be clever about their style (simpler languages like Golang, which I don't really love, tackle this better). Especially when you have an entire application in the range of 100KLOC written in Perl. My next project after that was in Java, which in all seriousness, felt amazing. Just like Perl felt when I discovered it after having to write tons of shell scripts.

I don't think it's any easier. Narrowing works the same way with the in operator. If A, B and C each have a single property with the same name:

function f(x: A | B | C) {
if ('A' in x) {
// x is narrowed to A
} else {
// x is narrowed to B | C
}
}
Not sure why you would be dishonest about this when it's easily verifiable to be false[1]. Even ignoring the meager revenues with 600M(!) users, WhatsApp had no way to realistically meet their equity obligations without a fat exit. And then, FB wanted to make their money back (duh).

It certainly requires a lot more skill and patience than web development.

Ofc there are plenty of people without the degrees who have the skill and patience.

How does any of this apply to WhatsApp? It isn't social media, it is a messaging app. And as far as anyone who actually uses it is concerned, it works just as well now as it did before the acquisition. If not better, given it finally has a migration story between devices, no matter how imperfect it is.

I literally cannot think of a single thing, when it comes to WhatsApp specifically, that got worse.

The best way for someone who wants to be a rockstar to win is by anchoring themselves to a low-performing team. If pay is based on relative performance, then you should find the lowest performing coworkers you can.

I wouldn't inherently mind explicitly tieing individual performance to (small) team level performance. In practice this often happens when management looks at performance holistically anyway.
> Do they consider fixing easy bugs are hard problem?

No.

> Should someone ignore a bug report "The is not spelled teh?" until it has bounced around unsolved for months on end, then spend 2 weeks "investigating" to show that it is a hard bug?

No. Grungy work has to get done, but it also won't build a promo case. If a leader isn't finding ways to make sure that the grungy stuff is being completed then they are a failing leader.

What’s really hilarious is how long it took imgur to render that screenshot (took about 10s for me on my mobile connection), because apparently a website that hosts images needs to be a stuffed-to-the-gills-with-JavaScript SPA too nowadays.

What you're saying applies to the majority of VC-backed companies, but none of your concerns applied to WhatsApp's situation.

WhatsApp was (is?) famously lean. They essentially never needed to spend a cent of VC money, even though they took on two rounds.

I think the story goes that when they took on a Series B, one of the cofounders sent a screenshot to Sequoia (repeat, sole investor) of the untouched bank account containing their Series A. Or maybe it was a screenshot of the Series B heading into the acquisition, I forget which.

I think it is primarily people who find a strong sense of identity in work and careers that think this way. For many, their passions lie outside of work and they do indeed want to maximize their value and time so that they can focus on things they care about.

So to say filtering out "greedy people" is quite demeaning IMO.
> People just buy into the "cloud" marketing. They don't have the ability to think and reason, and so don't understand that "cloud" just means "renting someone else's computer."

It sounds you're trying to dismiss and downplay solutions to problems you're oblivious to.

Even if you want to simplisticly frame "the cloud" as "renting someone else's computer", keep in mind that:

* It's not one computer but as many as you'd like, and get them at the click of a button,

* These are computers which are managed 24/7 by a team of highly trained specialists,

* These computers can be located anywhere in the world and simultaneously in multiple regions,

* These computers are designed to be fault-tolerant and handle (and survive) way more stuff that can conceivably be thrown at them.

> People talk about "the cloud" with the same fervor and language as members of a cult.

I'm sorry to say but you sound like you're militantly opposed to a solution to problems you either don't understand or refuse to understand.

"The cloud", even when following the simplistic and clueless belief that it's just "renting someone else's computer", solves whole classes of technical and business problema that your box under your desk cannot solve.

Hi HN, I've been playing around with this in my spare time. I'm interested in some programming language benchmarks that attempt to bench some more rudimentary work than what you might see in The Computer Language Benchmarks Game or other similar benchmarks focusing on the implementation of algorithms.

There's not much here yet, but I'm interested in people's thoughts on benchmarking.

I know this has been done before, but I don't see too many practical benchmarks.

Please let me know what you think.

Using Go as an example, if I were to write a "Why Go" article, it might look something like this:

1) Simple, one way to do everything. for loops, code formatting, and project setup.

2) Good concurrency (go routines)

3) No exceptions, readable code and error handling.

This article is titled "Why Hy." It should sell me on the language with a philosophy supported by examples, not instruct me on how to write a floating point number (unless the language has a interesting take on writing floating point numbers!)
