The issue is absolutely bad government policy. The Reason article isn't very good but its premise is correct. I'm surprised to find myself saying this, but Truthout wrote a much better investigative piece almost a month ago: https://truthout.org/articles/company-responsible-for-tainte...

This is why government policy is at fault:

- Around two thirds of all infant formula is purchased through a single government program

- The government requires that there only be a single supplier of formula for this program in each state

- Through the natural tendencies of capitalism this has led to consolidation where one provider, Abbott, enjoys government-mandated monopolies in 34 states and a controlling share of the formula produced in the US

- Through the natural tendencies of monopolies which are unchallenged by competition, they sought to maximize margins above all else, concentrated their production and poisoned their own product, leading to the production shutdown and the shortage.

The government screwed up. Rather than blaming the problem on hoarding moms, Vladimir Putin or whatever next week's appallingly self-serving disinformation will be, they should amend the law which maintains a monopoly in the formula market. If the industry was not so consolidated by the government's addiction to picking winners, Abbott's screwup would have been more disastrous for Abbott and less disastrous for moms.
Oh, I see what you mean. Sure, it's in Thanos, or Grafana, or whatever layer above, not Prometheus itself.
They arent lower-bounded by thermo bits --- because one can specify algorithms which require no thermodynamic work to implement. Logical bits and thermo bits are related by contingent facts of implementation. One has first to specify an algorithm (defined in terms of a computational model), then it's an open question as to what-and-how it'll be implemented.

It's also not at all clear that the physics terms "entropy, information, bits, etc." have anything to do with their computational "equivalents". Only by fairly strained thought experiments do we get alleged connections. Even these thought experiments only provide extremely limited translation of these terms between domains.

"Information" in a "logical" sense is a radically different think than in a "thermodynamic sense"... for example, the former has an obvious observer-independent definition, the latter does not.

The whole game of trying to bridge these notions without specifying implementation relations (etc.) is largely the new form of that transhumanism-craze: the respectable ideological space of delusional techno-utopian hopes.
A lot of that nuance would be quickly forgotten, but the info from a good title could last a long time.
It's no somuch that, as what's in the stack: OS+PHP+MySQL+Nginx+Other Dependencies.

How often do they need security patches or major version upgrades that might have breaking changes? How often will you need to replace the current stack with the Next Big Thing?

I've been self-hosting a blog for a while. At first, I used custom software, because blogging software didn't exist (I'm that old). I switched to Movable Type, but that project withered. I moved to Wordpress, but found I was spending more time running upgrades of the core and plugins then actually blogging.

I migrated to a static site generator, Jekyll, which seemed popular would solve the problem of security updates with dynamic code. My install broke multiple times as I changed laptops and Jekyll's dependency stack went through major version upgrades. Still, I was spending more time maintaining the stack then I wanted.

Now, there have been rumblings about the future of Jekyll as well. Maybe I should switch to a single-binary app like Zola to solve the dependency hell I've sometimes gotten into with Jekyll upgrades.

This is only the history of trying to self-host a personal blog from someone whose professional career has been web hosting in some form or another. Imagine also trying to self-host email, contacts, calendars a mastodon instance and other services as well.

We can still support a more diverse ecosystem of tech by not using the dominant providers and supporting companies which use open source software which people can self-host if they want to.

I support self-hosting, but the marriage to your own tech stack involves some significant work once the honeymoon is over.
That’s an interpretation of the phrase I have never heard. I think you’re probably mistaken unless if you have sources to back that up.

“Let them eat cake” is an expression that captures the ignorance and disconnection of elite from the working class and poor.
once you become an engineer you cant unsee it very easily, your user vision is now tainted by a higher understanding of problems, rather than feeling frustrated at {FOO = FAIL} bugs and submitting a complaint comment.
> The author found a relationship between Linear B (the script) and Linear A (the script) to the point of being able to approximately pronounce Linear A.

Except that has been known for like... 50 years? 60 years?
I'd say a linked list is preferable when you're writing a `malloc` implementation. It makes the code simple to understand (and small), you don't have any dynamic memory allocation available (because you're writing your system's allocator), and the size overhead is lower than alternatives. Linked lists aren't that bad in processors that lack cache, since then walking the list won't incur cache misses (every memory access is equally slow).

There are alternatives, of course. Your particular target might perform poorly with linked lists, so you might make your malloc use a different internal data structure. Or you might have plenty of flash but not much RAM, so you might trade code size for runtime overhead. Or... There are lots of alternatives, but a linked list is the simple default.
Why does this problem warrant an open source alternative? What are the downfalls with Calendly being “closed” that this aims to solve?
Wow, in typical crypto fashion, another post with manipulated upvotes and comments. First few comments here are fake, made by spam accounts. I assume the upvotes too given how crypto-friendly HN usually is.
I thought it was a nice summary, concise, organized, with examples and references. Will revisit it should I need a reminder on scraping. Would not call it low quality at all.

Would recommend you ignore passing comments with no constructive criticism. The title is going to be a point of contention as it’s a big claim and probably being misinterpreted as not “everything you need to know [to get started]” but rather “everything you need to know [ever is in this one article and you’ll need not read anything else]”.
I think that approach is akin to the honor system and based on my experiences on the internet I fear that it won't scale well. For some types of images, just because the uploader is ok with the file being shared doesn't mean it's a good idea to redistribute it. For a bland example, think of a photo where the uploader doesn't have copyright. I'm sure you can imagine what would happen if someone on the seedier parts of the internet says "hey, if you upload your images to this website, Google will host it for free forever!"
“I once went three days without sleep.”

This is just a side note, but I’ve never heard of anything like this happening before with such a short course of benzos.

That doesn’t mean it’s not happening, and it doesn’t mean that it’s not the benzos, but because it’s an unusual outcome, have you considered looking into other possible causes?

You were taking the benzos for sleep, after all, could a different underlying cause have gotten worse or been exacerbated by the benzos?

To be clear, this isn’t to diminish or invalidate your experience, it’s genuine concern from another human.
The article was obviously written for SEO purposes.
If you use cron for anything important you should use Cronitor - there’s a free for life plan that can cover your SQLite backups.

The article mentions calling a “dead man” service and that is fine but Cronitor (built by 3 people, no VC dollars) is a proper monitoring solution for jobs not just a “dead man” alert. Happy monitoring
Frankly, having used Go for years, I started using generics right after they were released and I'm very happy with them so far.

Sure, the performance characteristics could be improved, but other than that they solve all my main pain points I wanted them to solve while being constrained enough to not result in ivory towers on every corner.

My main pain points having been duplicated functions for each type as well as data structures.
The limestone crusher a few miles from my home can’t use more than 400-500 kW/hr judging by the power lines.

That is limestone, the article talks of basalt which seems would require more.
I've just watched the linked video. It was pretty good; thanks for sharing.

My first impression is that Information Architecture feels like it blurs the line between UX and marketing, and a company with a non-tech/design marketing person could do well to involve them in IA work.
"Dunno why every comment implies there's some design gap that leads to M1 or AMD being more powerful or efficient."

That is because there is a huge design gap. Intel architecture and design teams have always assumed on the inevitability of their own manufacturing superiority and process advantage and thus never had to really consider where to place transistors for the most benefit, or think really hard on better ways to improve single-thread performance instead of just turning a knob that was invented two decades ago.

In any case, your statement is just plain wrong. Dennard scaling has been dead for a decade now. Planar area decreases with new processes come with increased power density, i.e. new process nodes reduce die sizes but the transistor performance does not improve the way they used to.

source: worked at Intel for CPU design for a decade, then worked on the same things elsewhere using TSMC process
> That said I really hope we don't settle for Sixel. It's obsolete and inefficient.

That's a questionable assertion, as some people report watching movies in a terminal with mpv -vo sixel

This is possible because sixels are widely supported, which is the most important part of any format: you can then build on the existing ecosystem and showcase new uses at the same time.

> We should make a new standard

Even if we assume getting everything right on the very first try, the odds of success of starting a new standard + having it supported by the various apps (ex: gnuplot, mpv...) are much lower than having terminals support the existing standard then implementing the new standard in apps / in the terminals.

Sixels exists and can be used right now.
Was about to comment then found there's no point to debate than a vague viewpoint. This story is the #3 top story on thenextweb.com and the others aren't for me either.
I think it is good. You have to remember that some of the loudest voices on here take things extremely literally. They have no concept of hyperbole for emphasis. Or, indeed, anything which makes writing interesting to read.

It is an excellent guide and I think you should consider expanding it & perhaps creating a book.

I will admit that I'm using almost exclusively external tools and had I wrangled the X library myself, this would have taken longer. And while it's technically a working product, it's not exactly polished. But it proves my point. Not a difficult project
Coming from a Windows world, I've never worried about the `curl | bash` thing. If I would trust an opaque Windows executable from a site, why would I not trust an equally opaque `curl | bash`?

I've even seen people concerned about installing Homebrew that way. It is probably one of the most confusing concerns regarding `curl | bash` given that the it's a package manager designed to run arbitrary Ruby code and is often pulling down precompiled applications.
No I believe @daolf did, but as a fellow writer I know how hard negative feedback hurts (and how rare it is for happy readers to comment).
There are cases of extreme hydrocephaly where 95% of brain matter was absent but the patient led a fairly normal life. I can't find the MRI image now but just imagine a thin, bright layer of brain tissue right against the skull, and almost total darkness (water) inside.

Fair warning, you will see some pretty disturbing image results if you look it up.
If we are getting an image, it is a rotating black hole. The light we see came from somewhere and didn't fall straight into the event horizon. Therefore it imparted some rotational energy as it dipped in and out. Therefore, any black hole emitting anything more than hawking radiation has at least some angular velocity.

Progressives tend to be more concerned with economics than with culture war. Trad libs are more likely to wage culture war.
If it only made Darwin jails, then it could still run any native software, and would likely end up running a lot of homebrew/macports. (This started by discussing Apple internal servers, so just running their own stuff plus nginx et al. would be fine.) Or, they could take another cue from FreeBSD and illumos and add a Linux personality, or do like illumos and NT and bake in a VM that was seamlessly integrated and use an actual Linux kernel to run stuff.
I always thought these kind of things give rise to efficiency founder theory which posits that founder-induced prosperity needs to be maintained well beyond the level where lesser companies "pay people the least amount that keeps them productive, engaged, and on the team."

This is what you will be known for.

If you're just going to start up more of those kind of companies, why even bother?

Quite a good analogy there about "playing chicken", these are your people so why not want the best for them that you can possibly offer.

Great job completely misrepresenting my point in redditor fashion.
If it was up to me I would have gone with full monomorphization because I don't care about binary size or compilation time quite as much as the current Go developers. However, the decrease in performance of the current implementation is being vastly overstated because people read a single article. It's not going to be even close to a bottleneck in all but the most extreme performance demanding applications and those applications probably shouldn't be using a garbage collected language to begin with.
If you make an atomic copy -- like something equivalent to a power failure, then it's transactionally safe. One way this can be done is with a snapshot-capable filesystem like ZFS, btrfs, or XFS.

But a traditional `cp` will go from left to right in the file, it won't take the contents all at once. Which is explicitly documented as a thing that will break Sqlite - https://www.sqlite.org/howtocorrupt.html
There’s a paragraph in the article about this.

“The single producer and single consumer didn’t require locks nor atomic accesses to the storage array since the queue guaranteed that accesses at the specified index were not concurrent. However, this is not the case with multiple-consumers. Consumers race when popping. The loser’s access might occur after the winner’s commit, making its access concurrent with the producer. Both producer and consumers must account for this.”

Why not target the individual with the most influence in the organization, the highest C-level executive responsible for overseeing the operation? The threat of punishment for oversight failures on high level executives will naturally result in strict company cultures of safety and caution since the most powerful person faces real risk.
What are your gripes with SSR in Next? I have some too. I find the router in next is generally lacking, and there’s no proper way to say “render this on the server for the first request, but do this if the request comes from the application”. I believe there was a method to do it that was deprecated, but in my experimenting it was still not behaving the way I expected.

The main issue was that it was hard to prevent various levels of rendering in the page even though I knew it was redundant.

When using remix this is trivial to accomplish. I’m not sure I’m sold on remix entirely, but the routing capabilities are far better than Next’s.

Also some recent tweets from vercel suggest to me that they might be resolving this soon. Here’s hoping!
They're the _least_ charitable, I'd say. Apples marketing is trying to push generous, kind, etc because it shifts the overton window about the companies main objective which from the outside appears to be make computers into appliances that you replace every year.

Which would be fine if there marketing wasn't so effective. As it stands, they're an existential risk to the freedom we all currently enjoy in computing. And the environmental impact of pure disposable consumption devices is the kind of thing journalists will be talking about in 30 years - like oil and gas.

And like oil and gas, they're very powerful and have great marketing.
I’m self taught, worked in my career for 15 years, went back and finished my degree.

My interviewing skills are not substantially different. I still probably can’t invert a binary tree, and I get hung up on the abstract CS problems. The revelation I had after finishing my degree was that I was the same person with just a little more knowledge, and that if I didn’t check it, I’d be chasing after the “now I’m qualified” label indefinitely.

The interviews I do very well in are the ones where I’m asked to take something home and produce something real. If a company is really important to me and I know it’s coming, I know how to practice leetcode. If a company is rejecting you for not having the degree, then you’re not even getting to the phone screen.

When Disagreement Becomes Trauma
Dear shareholders...
I am not very educated in this area, but I wonder why move away from the concept of metrics extracted from logs to discarding logs and storing just the metrics?

Don't metrics have to be defined first? I assumed you'd first do a big data log analysis to understand what is going on and then monitor for metrics learned to be useful. Storing just metrics means it'll be hard to investigate when things go wrong when the currently defined metrics don't capture that new issue.

In big data circles the consensus these days is to store all raw data since storage is cheap. Useful cleaned aggregations and metrics can be extracted later by processing the full history using the now available big data tools.

I suspect this approach is a problem in the traditional software engineering, where focus is not on historical data like it is in data engineering. The solution goes - Splunk is too expensive, let's ditch logs altogether and hope we capture some metrics and plot them in nice dashboards. Instead of dumping the logs highly compressed into cheap s3 and running some Snowflake or Spark on it later. Heck, even dumping the intra-day non historical logs into Kafka or Materialize and extract the same metrics on the fly while preserving all raw data.
Do they end without one side dying off, giving up or leaving? Does the appearance of an external threat end the culture war or make it worse by working with one side? Has there been any time in recorded history when such wars weren't occurring?

We know more about them now, but that doesn't mean they're more or less frequent. Merely better attended.
I’ve seen degradation in game play when I have 20+ tabs open in chrome. I have a modern 8core 16thread cpu (ryzen 3700x) 32gb of ram, nvme, and a 3070. It’s noticeable, either bec the tabs are saturating the eth or bec they’re pegging the cpu, but you can clearly feel slower.
Scrapy is there to make all these happening under a single framework.

X86 optimized doesn't actually mean that much on a lot of workloads because the memory hierarchy completely dominates performance.

Apple knew this so the M1 has an extremely fast memory system.
Don't use a terminal emulator, or yes redirect to a file. But that means you'll need to know what the escapes do, and they look cryptic to the layperson. Also, inspect with an editor that replaces non-printing with some other character (like vim, unlike cat) otherwise it's just as bad as letting curl output.

And even then, this is probably not a threat you need to worry about.

Cool, thanks a lot! But why is it then that these currencies are not as attractive or hyped as Tether and UST? Could it be that the fact they are properly backed makes them less interesting for those who want a more adventurous kind of investment?
