Well, as an entrepreneur who is 10 years into a venture where most of my mentors thought my time was better spent on whatever was hot at the time (big data?) I can say that the perception of rationality is, like all things really, very subjective.

I see something and they don't. I think I'm right and they think they're right. But I see what I see, and I want to go for it. I might end up being wrong, but ultimately the journey to that particular place is one of the sincerest forms of self expression I've found, and I can't do that as easily if I too heavily depend on the eyes of others.
Perhaps because they are still on very small monitor where horizontal space is precious, Mozilla is FLOSS but definitively not a free project, they act as a corporate one so maybe they have some guidelines written in the era of 1024x760 CRT monitor, I can't tell...

However I'm glad I can have them (hiding the tab-bar also to avoid clutter) since with them I can have many tabs open, seeing a sufficient amount of text to identify any and sparing precious vertical space on my modern normal 19:9 monitor...

I do not use Windows, thankfully, so I do not know Edge, I've looked for something similar for Chromium but finding nothing like you... Honestly I see modern WebVM improperly named browsers for legacy reasons as a necessary evil since unfortunately the modern world is web2.0-centric and I have not much choice for that, but I have not much expectations from both nor not much interests beside the minimum protection and ergonomic of my daily digital life...
The best anybody can aspire to is being rational some of the time; no human is rational all of the time. Anybody who thinks they're rational all the time is only demonstrating just how irrational they are, by believing something so irrational about themselves.
Kind of a weird take. Marcus Aurelius' life, although that of an emperor, was filled with a lot of strife that he used philosophy to deal with. His stoic philosophies come from his early life, which saw the death of his father, and adoption by a series of people he didn't know, all the way to the death of both of his sons.

Marcus did achieve the title of emperor, but dismissing him because of his accomplishments, especially when stoicism was a key and integral part of his life along the way, is odd.
Sure, but the simple Postgres soln the author mentions works for 1000 servers. Assuming a power law distribution, technology like this is useful for a vanishingly small number of organizations. What's even more interesting is that it's pure admin overhead for those looking to centralize control over vast numbers of systems. So often technologists are asked to consider the moral or political implications of their work, and I think this is a good opportunity to do so.
The world would be a very boring place if the only value of thought was its accuracy of reflection of reality.
won't the tiny compute units on AWS have relatively slow storage? (no NVMe allowed for them I think) fine for small datasets that fit in ram but benchmarks are needed to show the bigger picture.
I don’t think it is that impressive, though I have the most experience with Java, where a fat jar on a random, obsolete website displaying some university material will just work.
Yeah that’s true, although there is a growing ecosystem of “allocation sensitive” libraries. We use this one a lot for protobuf: https://github.com/richardartoul/molecule

jsonparser is great for JSON parsing: https://github.com/buger/jsonparser

fastcache is a great “zero gc” cache: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/VictoriaMetrics/fastcache

What if they were alien tardigrade like creatures that can hibernate for long periods?

Or alternatively, a species that has no issues sacrificing much of itself or endure hardships, because they don’t have feelings like us.
Transferring the population is never feasible. The amount of energy needed to bring anything from planet surface to space is huge.

I would bet on a post-biological future where the individuals can transfer themselves via information transfer so this way the amount of energy is minimal. Couple this with self replicating, terraforming machines to build the physical infrastructure and we're in business.
Everything and everyone.
Still, it's 0.03% difference, or 3 images difference out of 10k images in CIFAR-10. Just 3 images.

Re-training SotA with a different random seed may make its score 0.03% difference. Or there was a wrong calculation in 17,810 TPU core-hours due to faulty hardware or cosmic ray hit which cause the final produce model 0.03% difference.
That's not an accurate recounting of what I said, but I guess it's one that aids you!
indeed not. A good exemplar though, as he is an extreme case.
> That said, there are people who can hear the difference between 320kbps mp3s and uncompressed, because they can sense the faint temporal errors that can make a sound a touch before the sound they should follow.

The half of this ability lies in the audio system being listened to. As we like the say, the performance of something is capped by the weakest link in the system.

If you have a good sound source feeding a semi-decent amplifier paired with a good set of speakers, you can feel the sound stage and depth difference between 320kbps MP3 and a CD.

However, modern mastering techniques generally maximize loudness and erode some detail, so everything becomes disputable.

I have some properly mastered CDs, and listening them blows my ears away every time, others don't do the same because they're compressed for the sake of loudness and they don't sound as spectacular.
You cannot speak about an absolute synchronicity among events happening in locations scattered among an arbitrary subset of the set of all visible galaxies

The cosmic microwave background gives you a physical realization of just that (but of course only approximately so), at least as far as cosmologists are concerned. The rules of relativity of course still apply, making this particular synchronicity convention just one of many others...
I call experts to people that have devoted their education and life to study and search for solutions, without quotes.

You call experts to people that some day have a health, work or family issue, went to see several gurus, realised they can create their own discourse on the issue and start selling their book.

The identification of the quote is appreciated.

The condescending dismissal of a) (almost) all of American writing as being unworthy, and b) all Americans as being clueless drones parroting the same few works is deeply unappreciated.

Yes, there are Americans who would look down their noses at you for not instantly recognizing a quote from Moby Dick, or, say, The Grapes of Wrath. They are representative of a particular category of literature snobs, not Americans in general, thank you very much.
One thing I don't like is that they also banned SSH-ing to Colab, which means I can no longer remote SSH to VS Code and use Copilot on the stuff I am working on.
> The whole point of agile is to adapt the process to the team's needs

I would argue that’s not the point at all. Instead I would argue that its point is short iterative simple process development based on constant stakeholder feedback.

I suggest that many undertaking “Scrum” are simply kidding themselves that their modern day process focussed development is “agile” at all. Heavy process iterative development preceded the “agile” movement and is back under a new name… “Scrum”.
If there is a man behind the curtain, it doesn't meet any reasonable definition of "autonomous".
maybe I'm missing the big picture here, but I don't see why it's actually desirable to have a wide range of incomes within a specific neighborhood. poor people can't afford to shop at {expensive grocery store} or dine at {fancy restaurant}. and wealthy people generally don't want to shop or eat at the places their poor neighbors could afford. if you "urban plan" them into the same neighborhood, now you need two (or more) tiers of every type of business to serve all the residents. at best, everyone has fewer suitable choices of each. at worst (and more realistically imo), most of the businesses continue to serve the wealthier residents, and the less wealthy need to travel away from their "affordable home" to actually get their needs met.
Or perhaps the passage itself was more relevant than the source.

I strongly disagree that Americans have a dearth of decent writings. Dozens of the greatest authors of the past few centuries were American. I know it's fashionable to treat America as a punching bag for all sorts of perceived slights and shortcomings, but that's absolutely uncalled for here.
I see you mentioned M3DB throughout the README. Have you looked at VictoriaMetrics ?
I think the analogy would be more that cars, pedestrians, and obstacles to avoid are all peers, and the real world is the network.
Wish this article would have gone into details about how cursor based pagination is actually implemented. Like they did for the other options by showing SQL. Is this something the database engine has to provide support for?
Curious that they do not mention the far more developed fusion reactor in France, but anyway while I prize research in general I always reiterate that we can and MUST dream, but at a society scale, not company, not lab, we need thing that work for sure NOW.

Witch means that's hyper-right funding a PUBLIC research on fusion energy even if it demand *centuries* before showing usable results, BUT we have an energy production issue now and we need to sort it out quickly for real, not in a potential future...

At beginning of the war Russia had more equipment, and materiel on every row: much more tanks, and armored vehicles, overwhelmingly more planes, vast amount of rockets vs close to zero in UA army. Also, "supported materially by NATO" is a misleading statement unless narrowed down to more specific areas. At that moment most analytics in the West expected Russia to win quickly, and few people were willing to vouch for sending substantial military aid after the debacle in Afghanistan. Javelins, NLAWs (from US, and UK, not NATO), but other stuff was mostly non-lethal, and frankly almost symbolic. It took quite some time before it became obvious that Ukrainian army fights effectively, and Ukraine is absolutely not in mood to surrender, when other NATO countries started to promise weapons. But even now many of these promises are yet to be fulfilled. Meanwhile after failing in wider campaign, Russia concentrated forces in smaller theater, and in Donbass they have now reportedly 10-15x advantage in artillery firepower.

Note, btw that most of the territory Russians managed to capture is in the Ukraine's south which is grassy plains - arguably very hard to protect while enemy dominates in the air, no matter how much personnel you have.
This is the one I know about: https://morph.io/ and https://github.com/openaustralia/morph#readme (AGPLv3) -- they used to be at the intersection of "heroku for scrapers" and DoltHub (e.g. https://www.dolthub.com/repositories/dolthub/us-businesses/d...) since the scrapers would run but then make their data available as CSV or sqlite or whatever. But, when I just tried to load one of the morph.io scrapers, the page just said "creating new template" so I'm guessing they've gone the way of the ScraperWiki.com that preceded them: turns out, hosted compute for free isn't free

Stoicism, political conservatism, rugged individualists, etc. are just those in camp-1 unaware there's a camp-2.

London is well known for unaffordable housing, is the UK as a whole? As for the quality, same as in France and other countries with similar profiles, old housing is of ( comparatively for today) poor quality, but it's getting progressively upgraded and replaced.

Having lived in neither, going off reports I'll take the UK, even with Grenfell, than the US(where the Florida collapse compensates for Grenfell).

Tabs are just more concrete than bookmarks. Tabs aren't things I thought I would want to revisit in the future that I went out of my way to save to a list of such things that I will never visit again.

Rather, tabs are even more useful than that: things I was actually doing adjacent to the thing I was doing right next to it. There's a spatial element to it.

Nothing compares to tabs. Especially not browser history which is one long list of urls I once visited, who cares. Tabs are a list of urls I settled on.
Wow thanks! This is a really cool and looks perfect for my use case.
"Weight" words and "mass" words get used interchangeably because it usually becomes obvious which one is meant based on context.

Here, obviously we're talking about stellar mass.

You can't really talk about the "volume" of an atom because the distance between one atom and the next closest atom really depends on the bulk material and isn't just atoms sorted into their one fixed size but is a balance of various forces.

A neutron star isn't made of atoms, but is, in a sense, one enormous atom or just a nucleus (but it's more complex than that). Mostly neutrons with some electrons and protons mixed in not separated into atoms which repel each other but in a super dense fluid of particles packed about as closely as particles in the nucleus of a normal atom.

Many technologies do not democratize or result in leisure time or cure any of the legion of ills that humanity suffers. Tech usually just amplifies the existing power of a political entity, be it statesman or soldier or businessman.

The singular piece of revolutionary tech of the last millennium which actually has improved lives for millions, is the laundry machine, which unlocks many hours of peace and relaxation or education or whatever is needed, for the poor, particularly to the benefit of women who traditionally washed our clothes. The Internet is nice, but perhaps not as pivotal as that invention.
You should never design an API that uses offsets for pagination unless you're dealing with small amounts of data (<10000 rows). Cursors give you far more flexibility and if you want to be lazy, you can just hide an offset in an opaque cursor blob and upgrade later on.

I don't think I've used offsets in APIs for at least 10 years. Lightly-obfuscated cursor tokens are one of the first things I build in web projects and that's usually less than an hour's work.

If you _really_ need the ability to drop the needle in your dataset with pagination, design your system to use pseudo-pagination where you approximate page-to-record mappings and generate cursors to continue forward or backward from that point.

The most common way that we are all victims is the inevitable deaths of us and everybody and everything that we care about, and no billionaire is yet immune to that.

Maybe one day we can simply not die, but until then, we are all victims of our own mortality, and plenty of people of all sorts feel plenty bad about that.
I meant of equivalent quality - and older houses are, somewhat ironically, often nicer because we've made it illegal to build those nice houses with short setbacks in pleasant little walkable neighbourhoods because of things like parking minimums, density maximums, minimum setbacks, etc.

Also lead and asbestos are no fun. Or thatched roofs, but I admit that's my own very particular concern having bought a 200+ year old house.
Also I don't think many people are still that bothered by WiFi, when a £30 data plan probably gets you as much as you need (I never hit the cap on an £8 plan, but I don't work away from home/office, so I rarely use much data). If it's for work, it's a minor cost for a good connection.

Snooping around for free WiFi feels like a fairly noughties kind of an activity.

Finding sockets: now that's the real trick if you don't have a laptop with a big and/or hotswappable battery or very good power management.
"The incoming fusion neutrons sustain the temperature of the circulating liquid metal, whose heat would be extracted to drive a turbine."

I assume this means a steam turbine (heat engine). With the losses inherent in that process, I assume the idea is we'll have a "limitless" source of heat anyway?

Or is heat transfer inherently better with this fusion design?
Related: Do you think SDKs for these APIs should themselves require you to interact with the cursors?

If I ask a SDK to get me 100 items but internally it returns only 50 before needing to make another call with a marker or cursor It would be nice if the SDK had an option to handle this for me (possibly exposing cursors still for those who really want it).
I haven't but I have almost tried Zerotier multipath: https://docs.zerotier.com/zerotier/multipath/

> i feel like many people completely forgot about how simple and fast apps can be

Most web apps dont have pretenses of being simple. They want to use tools that have room for growth, that have deep capabilities.

And they want to use the really good tools & libraries & technologies that will be used on more complex efforts. Specializing in being lightweight, narrowing the scope of your skills & capabilities is less attractive than getting good at something that works & ideally will also be fast in all cases.

I think it's good to reflect nack to 2014, when React was coming out, & think of what rapid development looked like. Hand manipulating dom trees, course grained re-rendering by setting el.innerHTML,... React and the virtual dom were a huge huge performance win. Some up-front load price, but an amazing boon to rapid rapid developmemt, grossly reducing the scope of concerns one had to think about in webdev, & massively speeding up rendering/updates at the same time.

React isnt the smallest but holy shit it propelled us into a massively massively faster world. Where development is just so stinking much faster/easier, where there are so mamy less bugs & memory leaks. Thanks react.

So why focus on a niche, special purpose skill set? Why go back to hard mode? Is a 30kB preact bundle actually any kind of problem? Is a 100kB react bundle really a problem?

> Loading would've been instant, and you don't even need ajax if you can spit html document fast enough - the browser makes it seamless anyways. But no, instead, we do animations and slow down the time to interaction

Because it's javascript we can often run the same code on the backend, & store & cache our documents or if it's light weight enough just render it (with already started/initialized workers). Hence: server side rendering (ssr).

SSR is very prevalent, actively supported out of the box in newer JS libraries/frameworks like Next. React has had support for "hydrating" a SSR page on the front end for a while, but required some investmemt & didnt just work out of the box.

Im very mixed here, about performance in general. On the one hand I want us chasing technical excellence, being fast. But I also see two things, one, that waiting for a second isnt the worst. Second, a huge amount of the slowness is ads and trackers, is shitty other people prpolems that businesses just accept, and developers at a company dont get much say in. Why would we spend iterations dropping load times from 2s to 0.4s when the damned trackers are still gonna make the site take 5s to load anyways?
Paradoxically, you can't be a human and be rational and consider yourself to be rational. You need to work within the limits of the human mind and body. Depending on the circumstances of your body your bias, impulses, and ability to rationalize things changes completely.
