Different author.

When hayley-patton writes "The third sentence should ring alarm bells in the head of the author" they mean the author of "We're choosing Rust, and not Go, C++, or Node.js".

"The author does not mention the benchmarks game" and "Please quote the author's words which you say are misinformation" and "the author is talking about a 2017 study" and "the author actually tells us the reason" are also referring to the author of "We're choosing Rust, and not Go, C++, or Node.js".

You seem to mean someone else.
>The main problem, at least in my experience as a user, is the fact that Desktop Linux is janky to use. Unless you have the time and patience to learn about all the subsystems and fix the issues that keep cropping up, you're going to want to just spend the money on an OS that "just works". OSX is obviously the best in this regard, but modern Windows with automatic driver installs comes pretty damn close.

When was the last time you used Linux, 2003?

The only problem with Linux is manufacturers that don't advertise support of their devices and that there are way too many distros so you can't have one ecosystem like you have a windows or macos ecosystem with certified devices.

But if you stick with Lenovo thinkpads, brother printers and bog standard everything running a Fedora linux is like running a macos with well supported devices.

We'd nerd having all kind of hardware sold whose compatibility is well tested and sold under the <insert your favorite distro> brands.
Webpack has been the de facto build system for react since 2017

Competing state libraries is to be expected but picking redux or mobx has let you use the same ones since 2017

JS itself has improved but hasn’t really ever deprecated anything, it just grows and adds terse methods to the language

Npm and yarn are among the best package managers

React hooks were the only major change you’ve touched on but even they didn’t deprecate class based react or change library semantics very significantly

Thanks for providing your feedback. As Redis Manifesto states - our goal is to fight against complexity. antirez - you are our inspiration and I seriously take your manifesto close to heart.

Please allow the possibility that Redis can be improved and should be improved.
Otherwise other systems will eventually take its market apart.

I appreciate your comments very much. I've wrote about you in my blog. I am an engineer and I disagree with some of the design decisions that were made in Redis and I decided to do something about it :)
to your points:

1. DF provides full compatibility with single node Redis while running on all cores, compared to Redis cluster that can not provide multi-key operations across slots.

2. Much stronger point - we provide much simpler system since you do not need to manage k processes, you do not need to *provision* k capacities that managed independently within each process and you do not need to monitor those processes, load/save k snapshots etc. Our snapshotting is point in time on all cores.

3. Due to pooling of resources DF is more cost efficient. It's more versatile. We have a design partner that could reduce its costs by factor of 3 just because he could use x2gd machine with extra high memory configuration.

Regarding your note about memcached - while we provide similar performance like memcached our product proposition is anything unlike memcached and it's more similar to Redis. Having said that - I will add comparison to memcached. I do believe that memcached as performant as DF because essentially it's just an epoll loop over multiple threads.

Re you comment about snapshotting. We also push the data into serialization sink upon write, hence we do not need to aggregate changes until the snapshot completes.
The complex part is to ensure that no key is written twice and that we ensure with versioning. I do agree that there can be extreme cases where we need to duplicate memory usage for some entries but it's only for the entries at flight - those that are being processed for serialization.

Update: re versioning and memory efficiency. We use DashTable that is more memory efficient that Redis-Dict. In addition, DashTable has a concept of bucket that is comprised of multiple slots (14 in our implementation). We maintain a single 64bit version per bucket and we serialize all the entries in the bucket at once. Naturally, it reduces the overhead of keeping versions. Overall, for small value workloads we are 30-40% more efficient in memory than Redis.

America doesn’t really have regular blackouts. Most Americans have never experienced one beyond the occasional tree knocking down a utility line.

We can cherry pick a couple of incidents (California wildfire with rural town blackouts and Texas’s winter weather failure), but you could do the same for Europe as well.

The higher costs do cause more judicious use of electricity than the states. Electricity rates aren’t subsidized in the states, rather electricity rates subsidized some of the dumber projects and mismanagement.

Alternatively we could do something to wean our country off its addiction to cheap imported labour, and invest in the skills and pay of the people that are already here. I don't accept it's as cut and dried as you assert.

But this government is doing nothing concrete to cut immigration! If only it were so.

Write endurance I guess would be one.

Samsung 980 Pro is under warranty up to 600 TBW.

I don't know if that is external data written, or also includes whatever overhead the drive's internal processes have, which I imagine is higher when you run it near max capacity.

RAM has virtually unlimited write endurance.

I was interested for CCTV recording, as it can be murder on standard HDDs and consumer SSDs. Continuous writing at whatever the total bitrate of all cameras is, plus whatever index you're using, plus whatever clips its generating.

Ideally HDD for the constant, SSD for the clips and index.

I had a small (120GB) clip and index SSD drive start to struggle in a dirt-cheap non-critical system and found it had written 42TB in a year. Now part of that was poor configuration, but the drive was REALLY starting to struggle, throughput would occasionally drop off a cliff.

The system was battery backed, so a RAM disk would have been fine, and on triggering the UPS I'd have it just copy the contents to a fast HDD.
Well, they added modules some time ago and now they're widely supported. Not quite sure what more there is to say about that. Aside from botched variable scoping, that was probably my biggest grip with JS (but `let` fixed scoping many years ago as well).

>but US consumers still won in the end

Sure, but the point is that an entire industry which added employment and other positives to the economy evaporated.

By saying "customers won, because they could still buy stuff through sending money to companies and industry in other countries" -- could be argued as a loss.

The US is so myopically built around consumption its sickening.
Unless they live in Texas, California or New York.
In the UK, when I was at school and at a time when numbers were shorter, I had a friend in the mid Sussex area (dialling code 0444) with a number that was mostly 4s.

That made his number from anywhere in the world +44 444 4x4y4. I’ve always remembered his number too.
I broadly agree with what you say, but why is it that the western world are killing themselves in droves, when 2% of the world's population are homeless and close to a billion go hungry every day. what has gone wrong in the society that is supposed to be the flywheel of the global economy?

I'm not sure what you're saying, that Westerns doing drugs are privileged and ungrateful, unable to deal with the real problems of the world? I guarantee you that the homeless of San Francisco are not privileged.

Suicide is a complex phenomena - the US suicide rate has risen over the last twenty years but it's still below quite a few third world nations. Suicide has decreased in other Western nations, etc. Your article about a rash of suicides doesn't show the most wealthy "dying in droves", one needs to look at statistics to see what's happening.

> Have you looked at what speed Chrome devs are implementing new APIs? It's insane. And great.

It's not great. It is bad, really. It means no one that hasn't dozen millions of dollars can implement or even just maintain a viable browser that can keep up. And since we expect browsers to be free, that means… "complicated" business models cough mostly¹ relying on ads and tracking cough to maintain the Web.

I which it wasn't this way really. There was a time when it was possible for a few people to implement a quite good browser engine in their free time. KHTML. So good, in fact, that it was chosen as the basis of WebKit (and therefore Blink). This does not seem possible anymore.

1. There's Apple maintaining a browser engine without relying on ads, but their business model is also questionable.
Yes, but then they follow up with:

> "The rest of the production run, while still low-volume, will be built and marketed more conventionally and so will go through the necessary homologation processes for legal use on the road."

Why can't the fancy, expensive, showoff NFT cars go through the same process?
Something seems a bit dodgy. The about page shows the top and bottom PCB layouts without any RAM sockets, only dozens of DDR RAM ICs soldered directly to the back of the card.

...Which would be fine, had I not stumbled upon (what seems to be) the original project[1], in Russian no less.

The blog shares the same block diagram, images and DDR PCB layout. There are no DDR RAM slots. Further, the slots are through-hole and not SMD, you wouldn't be able to attach a heatsink directly to the back of the card as shown in the images.

I look at this from the opposite perspective. Seven years of YNAB4 trained me to include manual entry of every transaction, assigning categories, splitting it as necessary, etc right there at the moment I make the purchase. It's baked into my process, as that was one of the core components that the old YNAB taught. At this point I could never trust an automated system for everyday purchases, where it couldn't accurately know how to split transactions, or where to assign things (although scheduled bills I do input as recurring transactions so to an extent I do have some automation).

For example, take a trip to Walmart where you purchased things that cross like 3 or 4 categories. With a system relying on importing data from your bank, a couple days after the transaction posts you'll have this generic assignment to Walmart, and you must then try and remember how to split it (eg between Groceries, Clothes, Technology etc). Instead, I have my transaction manually sorted in my YNAB app before I've even left the store.

There’s always some degree of a rotating cast of people, that’s always been the case.

Really there’s three important factors in perceived VS perf issues:

1. Your codebases have gotten bigger. More projects in a solution and more code in a project means more work the IDE has to do. Various components have their breaking points and it’s not uncommon to hit them.

2. VS is really really really really big. Some components in there run like a well-oiled machine. Others, like those last touched in 2013 and with less than 10k users per month, are rickety and will freeze your UI or cause the GC to freak out or both. If you’re one of those 10k users, whoopsie!

3. For many years the mandate in the VS org at Microsoft was that of a feature factory. That changed around 2016 or so, maybe a little earlier. But cleaning up a decade of feature factory work while still needing to innovate on a growing userbase that throws more and more at the IDE each year is hard.
They can learn. It's not hard.

You could purchase millions in Bitcoin and other crypto, then sell it to a tether-based exchange for USDT. Then demand it as a withdrawal to USD. Rinse, repeat.

The first short term application for this may be in online advertising. Cheap, short and low resolution clips that are only meant to grab attention and can be as exotic as you want, related to a product you want to sell.
The advertiser cherry-picks from a pool of generated clips related to their query, so the hit and miss nature of these models won’t be a big problem.
Right. But that's their choice. I actually really like what Mithril.js did, regarding decisions on size, complexity, distribution as a single file, etc. Pretty much the only thing I'd like more would be if some similar library targeted both HTML5 web and Sciter (since Sciter does some things in its own -- and very efficient -- way and it would be interesting if something filled in the details in the web platform that web omits but Sciter does not to come up with something Mithil.js-like but also usable on desktop).

I’m only deeply familiar with the U2F (legacy) protocol, and such devices don’t expose a key pair usable for this purpose. When you enroll, you need to communicate with the token.

But more generally, this is a protocol issue. You can’t enroll your Yubikey with your browser and then, later, have your browser enroll that key with a WebAuthn-using site. You have to put the key in your USB port at the time you enroll with a website. And you can’t do this if it’s in a safe.
You still have to build it out over a large area, even if you can use it for other things or the land doesn’t have any other productive uses.

You’ll never power an aircraft carrier or submarine with it, and even space craft solar collectors pale in power output and longevity to nuclear solutions.
Seems like a lot of early builds go through recalls (e.g. Lucid’s new Airs have been recalled a couple of times already). If collectors are willing to spend big bucks and buy cars that don’t come with road-worthiness and legal compliance, why not take their money?
I would hate to see smart stuff taken off the market.

A DDoS could cause the company to drop support faster(Like they already always do), and hurt the people who can no longer use the features on their expensive device.

Besides, if DDoSing got popular with average consumers it would never stop, and they'd go after everything that has any privacy risk(AirTag/Tile comes to mind), no matter how critical it is to some people's lives.

Admittedly a bit of a slippery slope argument, but less so in an age where there is a significant minority that would love to undo all tech from the last 70 years.

Instead we could be fighting for laws requiring that that all smart devices use an open and app-capable OS, or that all features exposed via proprietary connection to their server also be exposed via local API.
Unfortunately neither of these work in the US. Salt Edge supposedly supports US banks but when I reached out to them a few weeks ago (specifically for the purpose of using them with Firefly III) this was their reply:

In this case of that individual it was not his views so much as the dehumanizing way in which he expressed them. When I said that he "hated" Barack Obama I meant it literally: it wasn't like he preferred John McCain or Mitt Romney or wanted to repeal the A.C.A. it was that he saw Barack Obama as a satanic character.

The most corrosive thing about the current political situation is that many people believe that one political party is absolutely evil (more than believe the other is good.)

Thus you really have a lot of people who think they have only one choice when election season comes around so we aren't seeing a competition to: not be corrupt, have peace and prosperity, efficient government services, etc.

Back in the 1980s I saw Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill as honorable people who fought hard for opposing views but could also come together and compromise and it just doesn't seem that way today.

Sure, the effect of such guidelines, including the "Core Guidelines" is to further shatter the language into effectively incompatible dialects while not really solving anything.

One of the book's authors actually proposed work to get C++ to a place where C++ 20 could begin actually abolishing the things everybody agrees you shouldn't do, Vittorio's "Epochs" proposal. https://vittorioromeo.info/index/blog/fixing_cpp_with_epochs...

But the preference for C++ 20 was to add yet further stuff. I believe that, unwittingly, the C++ 20 process sealed the fate of the language in choosing to land features like Concepts but not attempt Epochs, I'm not sure it was actually possible, but if it wasn't possible in 2020 it's not going to be any easier in 2026 and it's only going to be more necessary.
