basically slapping together a very inefficient alpha, and obviously people aren't promoted for fixing such glaring inefficiencies to make it even into a half reasonable beta.

And that is just hilarious, like people in Google never heard of CDN, HEAD, git fetch, etc. - of course they know it, and it is really just an arrogance of an 800lb gorilla toward "small-fish" - "https://github.com/golang/go/issues/44577#issuecomment-85692... - with a passive-aggressive blackmail of a cherry on top :

I was in the middle of an interview loop with Bolt mid-Apr, they canceled my onsite so they could (supposedly) prioritize onboarding people they'd already hired. Dodged a bullet there. Also did calls with Coinbase, Uber, and Twitter, who all now have hiring freezes.

Boggles my mind how companies flip on a dime between "hire as fast as possible" and "the sky is falling, we're laying people off." In the case of Bolt and Twitter, there were material changes (lawsuit from major customer, Elon Musk) but the others are just scared about the economy.
Modern AMD Zen2/3 has more PCIe bandwidth than DRAM bandwidth.
In other words, you can't saturate your flash if you buffer reads through DRAM, because the buffering costs you one write followed a bit later by one read.

mmap hits limits far earlier due to the kernel evicting pages with only a single thread and much of the process needing global-ish locks.

Use zoned storage and raw NVMe, with a fallback to io_uring. You need a userspace page cache of some sort. Maybe randomly sample the stack of pages you traversed to get to the page you're currently looking at, and bump them in the LRU.
Feel free to default to stream latency-insensitive table scan operations without even caching them to not pollute cache.

Says you?

Historians should seek to make their writing based on as firm of factual footing as possible and make it clear when they are making an inference due to limitations of the archive. But historians constantly work with material that has factual errors and they do not tend to consider this to be a death sentence for a particular work.

I find that a huge number of people have very strong opinions about how historians work and have never actually spoken to one.

The large bulk of historians I speak to, whether tenured or tenure track or at various different institutions, do not arrive at the same conclusion that you do.

EDIT: We've hit the depth limit but I do not believe that I am more qualified here. I believe that professional historians are and that people should go speak to a bunch of them before developing very strong opinions about historical writing. I do not believe that this is a clubby toxic attitude but instead is valuing expertise and experience.

Yeah, Google is of course the king of search, so they could certainly decide to revamp YouTube search to include spoken word/transcription matches. They have all the data required to make that happen. That would make VideoMentions Search irrelevant– and I'd be okay with that!

In the meantime, I think this is a useful tool for quickly locating videos based on spoken words.

First of all, there is no mention of what percentage of their workforce is being directly effected by this. I suspect it is not small.

That aside, I fail to see this as anything other than this "company" taking advantage of the current environment to execute layoffs in a way that lets them blame "the market" rather than their own short-comings. We saw this in March 2020 as well. They overhired for the hype, and now are taking advantage of any excuse that isn't "ya we hired way to many people so that we could say we are bigger than Fast".

Bolt apparently raised $355 million 4 months ago. If they are having cash problems, or are concerned about not having enough runway, I don't believe for a second that any magnitude of layoffs will help them.

Perhaps. But the old Cadillac is/was much cheaper and who needs to race around corners in a land yacht. Those fancy new adjustable suspensions are notorious for failing and cost as much as the car to replace. Know someone that just sold their 5 year old car with one of these systems that failed due to the $5000 to repair out of warranty. Cadillac would be new shocks/struts on all four wheels and out the door for less than $1000 and these components rarely fail within 15 years.

Get a sports car for fast corners.
I want a game that combines both RTS and FPS elements. In every multiplayer FPS I know of, you are grouped with teammates and are working towards common objective(s) (counter strike games). But I want a hierarchy with one person who can't see the battlefield and only a minimap of team and sighted enemy locations. And all the normal teammates can only communicate with nearby players. The closest thing I have come across is the Natural Selection[1] games which has this distinction of a leader and then the soldiers, but it seems to be a dead game. I know some other games have similar ideas of classes, but I don't think anybody executes the partial information of a lead strategist.

Mods. Whenever you see community/forums take the wrong turn - it's always mods. Reddit is now extremely leftwing, to the point of pushing communism and banning everyone with even slightest conservative view-points, and that's where mods come in - mods can ban account for life sitewide. This was the first mistake

Second mistake was banning and removing subs that were controversial and might or might not have been frowned upon by advertiser.

Old Reddit used to break news first, now reddit is just 9gag
I never quite get these comments. You are complaining because a website does not let you consume its content without having an account and, mind you, a free account.

If you were trying to buy groceries and had no interest in Instagram but you were forced to create an Instagram account to buy the groceries, that would be a problem, but this type of comments complains that they like the content but find it unacceptable to be asked to open a free account to consume it. God forbid someone asks money for a service people want to use: how dare you ask for payment for a product I want to use.
Approximating 'Constexpr For'
I think that we're thinking about EVs all wrong. There is this expectation that an EV is basically a car that runs on electricity instead of gasoline. Home charging is a nice feature, but if you stray from home, you have to figure out where to charge, and how long you can spend charging there.

Tesla has built a BMW-level car, in terms of styling, features, and comfort. There are competitors, increasingly from traditional carmakers, but they are all building the same style of car: the look and feel of a gasoline-powered car that runs on electricity. Of course, given America's (insane) attachment to pickup trucks, those are getting the electric treatment too. But it's the same idea: take the gasoline powered vehicle, and design an EV to mirror it, to be as familiar as possible.

But think about how PCs replaced minicomputers and mainframes. These little joke computers that IBM and CDC and DEC and HP and Burroughs and Data General did not take seriously finally killed those companies (except for IBM, and HP bears no resemblance to what it used to be). The PCs didn't become replacements for minis and mainframes, they provided a completely different model of computing that eventually won out thanks to rapid hardware improvements, software improvements made possible by rapidly improving hardware, and importantly, a new generation of computer users, who were not brainwashed into the old way of thinking about computing.

I look at electric bikes as being the analog of the PC. I doubt that many car manufacturers look at these things as competition. But they are. If you are young, you need to travel ten miles to work, you are crushed by student debt, and you have some concern about climate issues, an electric bike is awfully appealing. Yes, the weather needs to cooperate, but it's a pretty small step from the electric bikes we have now, to slightly more protected machines that work in inclement weather.

What about longer drives? EVs (i.e., Tesla and their ilk) aren't so great there either. Range anxiety is real, recharging takes way more than 5 minutes (even with level 3 chargers), and good like finding one on your random road trip. You have to plan it in advance.

Completing the analogy: gasoline cars are like mainframes, and EVs as they currently exist are analogous to minicomputers. They will cease to exist in 20 years. They'll be displaced on the low end by electric bikes, and they cannot compete on the high end (long trips) with gasoline-powered cars.

A turn based 4X / survival / rpg hybrid.

Set in the Neolithic- Bronze Age, roughly (but historical accuracy is not a top priority). Like Civ, you have units which can explore the map, fight, build. But the scale is smaller: there are seasons, weather, turns last <1 month instead of hundreds of years. There’s less of an emphasis on technological progress and more on training up the skills of your Units. Units have Skill Trees corresponding to their type / class / profession, and can equip different weapons and armor (produced in your cities) for further boosts, like an rpg. Learning to hunt, gather, farm etc. Competition with other civilizations exists but more so you’re trying to survive the environment— animals, weather, nomadic raiders. Resource management is more explicit— instead of tiles producing Food every Turn at a given rate they produce some lump sum Wheat only when Harvested by a unit, say, which you must then store for the winter. Etc.

I’m working on making such a game, but it’s not my full time job and I have other projects catching my interest too, so the going is slow.
Dude would write a DSL over a weekend to generate and validate Bind configs. Could invent whole new categories of solutions to problems - if he felt like waking up after 2PM. Never showered.

Anyone else experiencing DNS lookup failures on Minikube-managed clusters running under VirtualBox? The host O/S or host DNS server doesn't seem to matter. I've noticed this when trying to build Alpine Linux-based images, an issue I reported here:

https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/13968

I'm really at a loss as to how to troubleshoot this as I'm still learning how to use Kubernetes.
I have a similar game interest. Something based on internet sourced data, e.g. gpt-3 based npc dialogs, trained off current news or something else that's never ending... something like kenshi with the complex mechanics of dwarf fortress, combined with NPCs that can very realistically mimic conversations

It would be an open world, but not pvp...maybe you support co-op but I think the novelty would lie in single player combo'd with a very dynamic cause and affect world
I had a smaller YC company pitch me something like this as an option for my stock comp - an RSA (restricted stock agreement, or "founder's stock"), where I put up all the cash up front, paid a big income tax bill in the first year, but then upside was all capital gains. I would technically own the stock but I had to sell it back for nothing if I left before it vested.

Turned out I left very early because the company wasn't doing great, in the current climate I think they're probably default-dead. All that cash is just gone.
For everyday browsing I use NoScript, and rarely allow JS to run (I don't have JS right now!). With Tor, JS is always disabled, 100% of the time.

> local-first sync can easily support multiple schemes and let old versions run without overhead to devs

I'd love that. Ink & Switch has done extensive research on how to enable this with p2p technology etc. Our industry isn't there yet... but lots of good folks are working on it. The Muse sync setup is a step in that direction.

> As a developer, I don't want to deal with infrastructure for an app. It's a massive headache to have 24/7/365 responsive system. I want to make apps, not be on-call sysadmin.

Oh yes. I spent many years carrying a pager for Heroku's infrastructure. Part of the appeal of local-first is the sync infrastructure is necessary to transmit data between devices, not for every single keystroke or gesture the user makes.
GTFO: a 2-player side scrolling game where one player controls a stick person trying to run, jump, climb, or swim to the other side of the level.

The other player plays the environment and tries to smite the first player and thwart their escape attempt by creating deadly natural disasters along the way, but can’t directly attack or interact with the other player.

Players are scored based on how far the escapee gets through the board and how quickly the environment kills the other player.

An escaping player might want to quickly parkour between buildings by jumping the gap between the roofs. However, if the environment player had already clicked the ground and planted a tree between the buildings, they could then call down lightning on to the tree to fry the jumping escapee. The escapee might then try to climb down the building to walk under the tree before climbing back to the roof to sprint over the tops of buildings again. Picking a more exposed path with fewer obstacles lets the escapee move more quickly but also offers less protection from the environment.

It’d be a two-player competitive side scrolling action game, where one player controls the course environment, which is something I’ve never seen before.
Vitess, the underlying technology for Planetscale, does natively support messaging. It's pretty awesome because you can rely on native MySQL transactions to atomically:
- Normal database work
- Ack source message
- Add N messages to N destination queues

Our whole stack is built on it and we process ~1B messages / day.
https://vitess.io/docs/13.0/reference/features/messaging/

Hopefully Planetscale sees fit to expose that functionality in the future, and to be honest, since all the interaction with it is over the MySQL protocol, it's very possible that it would just work today.

>then surely it should be at worst unsightly?

What me and other people are trying to get across to you, is that you only feel this way because you support the cause.

The practice of filling every place and institution with your partisan beliefs is a sign of disrespect, essentially a power move. "You're here to read up on an OS, but joke on you, you actually can't escape the all-pervasive hand of my religion. Here's some propaganda diet before you read anything".

To know what that feels, imagine if every time a mainland Chinese scientist published an academic paper they were forced to write at the end "Long Live The CCP" with big bold letters. Or imagine if every time a Muslim scientist published a paper they must write "In The Name Of Allah, God Of All Creation" in the beginning. Etc... Can you see why this is ridiculous to a non-communist or a non-Muslim ?

Why is this ridiculous belief-signalling an expression of power ? 2 reasons :

1- Like I said above, it asserts existence in a space where its competitors don't. No Christian, Jew or Hindu declares their religion in the academic papers they author, it feels fair that Muslims also shouldn't, it's like an unspoken agreement on keeping Academia free of an irrelevant controversial subject that gets people riled up and generates more heat than light. When Muslims (in the hypothetical world) violate this, it's a unilateral violation of the agreement that signals power and superiority. "Rules Don't Apply To Us". It's a fighting stance.

In the concrete case we're discussing here, only progressive tech companies signal their beliefs in this vulgar way, no conservative tech firm have ever put "Blue Lives Matter" or "Make America Great Again" on their technical docs, although there are tens of millions of people who believe just as sincerly as you that those causes represent worthy and moral goals. The reason sane well-adjusted people refrain from expressing politics and religion in workplaces is because of common sense social protocols and unspoken consensus, when you break those, you're deliberately asserting power and inviting challenge.

2- It's probably forced. Just like the vast majority of Chinese scientists or Muslim scientists would probably do the above hypothetical signalling out of fear (of being labelled a traitor and a heretic, respectively), the vast majority of people in progressive-dominated social bubbles probably virtue-signal out of fear, rather than any geniune conviction. It's morally disgusting to force people to express beliefs they don't actually hold, or hold in lesser intensity than being forced to express. It's tyranny 101, straight from 1984.
