Every time this masterpiece comes up on HN, I try to think of something to say that explains how profoundly good this project is and I never feel like I can do it justice. It's small, it's fast, it's useful. It makes so much other software look bloated by comparison.

In a world where a lot of developers on HN are too scared to run apt upgrade, you write this brilliant piece of tech. It's inspirational, really.
I was a Windows guy for a long time, most of my life actually. Then circumstances forced me to use a Mac for a period of time and I switched. Now I can barely remember half of what I used to jump around Windows. Our cognitive load really isn't built to handle mastery of multiple wildly different operating systems, IMO. Not many people claim to be both Windows and Mac power users, though I'm certain some of those do exist.
This is something I've thought about, inspired by the old textfiles where the authors manually space or rewrite to avoid hyphenation and fit exactly into 80col.

You don't want to use GPT-3 raw because the number of candidate versions would bankrupt you if you do it naively: there are way too many synonyms for each word and combinatorially many. If you do it in a single pass, then it's not too much different from greedy linebreaking, since it can't 'look forward' to minimize badness of linebreaks & synonym.

The system I have in mind would do dynamic programming like usual to find linebreaks, and each line-end word would have a list of synonyms with a distance given by a standard word embedding like word2vec. Then you have a standard DP which tries to minimize the sum of # of hyphens, characters left/right of the ideal position, and distance for a synonym rewrite multiplied by a configurable parameter weight. This will give you a linebreaking algorithm which can be tuned to do pure linebreaking (set the weight of synonyms to ∞) to perfectly preserve meaning even at the cost of appearance, or treat synonyms as free (set to 0) and spent like a drunken sailor to wedge the text in regardless of meaning distortion. You need to generate a lot of synonyms, but you can easily cache that and word embedding NNs are extremely small/fast/easy to run locally, unlike GPT-3. So, won't break the bank.

Now, you might say that rewriting words individually, even if the meaning is very close thanks to word2vec, can still lead to weirdness in global meaning, coherency, or text style. True! Then you can run it through GPT-3 as a final phase: take several different candidates (generated by setting the weight to a few different values), feed them through the GPT-3 Search API to find the closest (or the embedding API to do inner-product distance), and take the best one (again, with a weighting factor for how faithful to the original semantics you want to force the rewrites to be).

My guess is that given a large dictionary of synonyms, and the final GPT-3 pass to score for naturalness, creating many possible rewrites, the DP search will be able to find extremely subtle rewrites which eliminate the the need for hyphenation or ragged margins while still reading completely naturally. Text run through it will look identical (because we can be careless readers - did you notice the 'the the' in the previous sentence?), but just magically fit perfectly in its column.
I think shorting TSLA is still tenable.
It's widely believed that most automotive mechanics have turned into parts-swappers anyway, and I suspect a Tesla is "smart" enough to tell them what to replace, which makes me wonder what sort of training the actually-trained ones have gotten. How to access the notoriously-locked-down service manuals?

When I was young, learning to work on cars was just a normal part of adolescence.
Not surprising considering housing costs. It would be interesting to see more granular data though; this sort of number is nice for vapid, sensational headlines that generate lots of clicks but don’t really further our understanding of anything.
Strange. The 3 Honda Civics I’ve owned (brand new when driven off the lots) have all had no “bring back to the dealership” issues except recalls.
First of all, there is no use case for this very specific implementation of multitasking, fullscreen and overlapping windows. Second of all, the OP created and invented this. Though OP claims this behavior was innocently stumbled upon, it is clear, upon discovery of the behavior, the OP intentionally produced this behavior with their own webpage.

There is no error here. The code works precisely as intended, thus, this is not a bug, because bugs are errors in code that breaks the program's execution. That is not happening! The program still works and keeps on working until OP makes mobile Safari crash by intentionally eating up all the memory.

A software bug is an error, flaw or fault in the design, development, or operation of computer software that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways.[1]

Please continue to review the first 6 words of the definition until it sinks in that a bug is an error in the code, and a bug is not a quirk of interface design that you don't care for. If there is no flaw in the code, then there is no bug.

What OP and you and everyone else that apparently doesn't understand what a bug is are complaining about is this particular facet of mobile Safari's interface design. So if there is a problem here, it is not a flaw in the program code. It is a weird behavior that occurs when and only when the user decides to make their browser do weird things by creating a webpage to intentionally cause it. It sounds pretty darn unlikely to be repeated by anyone, and afaict, no one seems to have duplicated the behavior and reported back. But this is beside the point because the code is executing precisely as expected, and the program or system is not crashing because of this behavior, if it is crashing at all.

Again, this is not a bug. It is an entirely different animal.

Why does size matter in this context?

For example, Apple will likely be forbidden from making a device where the selling point is that it only runs code from their own app store, but if some random Android company does the same thing by vastly modifying AOSP/their hardware to the point where it can't be rooted and can only install apps via their own store, why are they not punished? as a consumer I'm equally harmed in the same ways by both companies, the only difference is that, in the second situation, my freedom being violated is less important when 50 million other americans aren't also suffering at the hands of that company.

Most of those aren’t “footguns” at all, but rather preferences (naming conventions, nominal vs structural subtyping) and many others are shared with Python (“magical behavior”, Go’s structural subtyping is strictly better for finding implementations than Python’s duck typing) or non-issues altogether (“the Go compiler won’t accept my invalid Go code”).

The “forget to check an error” one is valid, but rare (usually a function will return data and an error, and you can’t touch the data without handling the error)—moreover, once you use Go for a bit, you sort of expect errors by default (most things error). But yeah, a compilation failure would be better. Personally, the things that really chafe me are remembering to initialize maps, which is a rarer problem in Python because there’s no distinction between allocation and instantiating (at least not in practice). I do wish Go would ditch zero types and adopt sum types (use Option[T] where you need a nil-like type), but that ship has sailed.

I’ve operated services in both languages, and Python services would have tons of errors that Go wouldn’t have, including typos in identifiers, missing “await”s, “NoneType has no attribute ‘foo’”, etc but also considerably more serious issues like an async function accidentally making a sync call under the covers, blocking the event loop, causing health checks to fail, and ultimately bringing down the entire service (same deal with CPU intensive endpoints).

In Go, we would see the occasional nil pointer error, but again, Python has those too.

When I moved across state lines Wells Fargo required me to go back and close my account in my previous state and open a new one in my new state. Left and never went bank. When BoA moved from San Fran to the South and started doing questionable practices it was time to move. US Bank has been amazing, and my immigrant friends all say US Bank has overcome hurdles/issues that Chase, BoA, and WellsFargo refused to help with (often just refusing to take them as customers). When my mother died, US Bank was amazing with protecting her estate from legal BS, to the point that they ended up going to court and paying out of their pocket to do what was right (and this was not a large estate to profit them). Seriously never seen a bank (or large corporation) so willing to see/accommodate individuals and their situations instead of just providing cookie cutter services that if you didn't fit you were excluded. At this cynical point in society I didn't think a bank could impress me, but they have.
34% of earners with income of 50k - 100k are living paycheck to paycheck, 36% of earners with incomes of 100k +.

Seems unwise
What is meant by paycheck-to-paycheck? If a worker has HSA/401k/ESPP/401k MBR deductions, they have artificially made their paycheck small. The net amount remaining goes covers living expenses, and whatever is left might be swept into after-tax investments. Money in is money out. It is paycheck to paycheck: with a great deal of investing taking up the cashflow.

If there is no technical definition, and you simply ask people if they live paycheck-to-paycheck, you could have quite different interpretations-- and the underlying financial health might differ demonstrably between survey respondents.

No, as many readers possible should be informed. This no name startup attempted to steal what was supposed to be a standard runtime format. Imagine what they’d do on a larger scale with that sort of behavior. That’s not a company that deserves to grow, we have enough Google’s and Apple’s.

A lot of these companies play good guy by open sourcing their products. Given this one’s commercial struggle, who says they genuinely want the world to see their code, Is it not possible they have no other choice?

An open source, closed spec product doesn’t really add up, it’s ingenuine, greedy, and downright stagnant.

“forced”
Languages top out at around 50x, and that's the extreme of pure CPython to C.

For as many factors of magnitude as I am talking about, you have to be screwing up algorithms, networks, and a whole bunch of other things too.

Python and similar languages like Ruby really do make it easy to accidentally pile things on top of each other, but you can screw up in pure assembler with enough work put into it. Assembler doesn't stop you from being accidentally quadratic or using networks in a silly way.

We had one of the first 85D and have sold for a lot of the similar reasons.

The real nail in the coffin was that they dropped mobile service in our area. I had a to replace the 12v battery, tried to do it myself, could not get parts.

Either way the shift to EVs has happened, with the F150 lightning and other offerings Tesla has largely achieved one of the main reasons we were an earlier adopter.

In 2022, 100k is not as much as it used to be. It is still a decent chunk of change, but it is not exactly life changing; especially if you live in high cost of living area ( NY comes to mind ).

Naturally, there are people who are broke regardless of how much they earn, but I personally think they are an anomaly.

Branches
The Bad Habit: “Oops was I on main for that?”

I found somewhere on the Net one day a few years back, a small bash addition that includes the git branch on the command-line prompt if the directory happens to be part of a git repository. Thus:

centrepoint [jvs] /home/jvs/wrk/njvtax [master*] >
^ ^ ^
[this part is the commandline prompt] < git > [final part]
[ with HOSTNAME, USERNAME, CWD ] <branch> [ of prompt]

The git branch is colored red (or your favorite color). The rest of my prompt is black-on-white, so the git branch really stands out to me. Directories that aren't in a git repository will obviously never show any git branch-name, as in:

centrepoint [jvs] /home/jvs/hhnse >
Great, but that's not an explanation that adds knowledge to the discussion. I mean, Python and JavaScript both have BigInt libraries and are trivial to use.

It would be extremely odd for anyone making after-tax investments to say they live paycheck-to-paycheck.

To most people, it means that you have little to no surplus after usual monthly expenses.

That means no elective investment contributions and — more importantly — no contributions to liquid savings.

Failure to maintain liquid savings can turn an unexpected event into a catastrophic tailspin.

EDIT: That said, the other comments here are elucidating. I wonder if there is an unnoticed shift in the language used among young professionals and that this survey is accidentally measuring that instead of real financial change.

Yeah, I do something similar which I call "save yourself poor". Artificially live paycheck to paycheck but this is because I immediately deduct investments, savings, tax portion (my country / visa status just makes you pay at the end of the tax year without employee income witholding) and then have to get through the month on what's left. I know it's a privileged position to be in but it works and never makes me forget that nothing is guaranteed.
You're still talking about interface design and not an error in the actual code. You're talking about how the user is interacting with the software, and/or how a website developer writes up his crappy site. The software itself isn't broken. But the interaction between user and client and server is getting under your skin and you're insisting it is a bug... when it simply is not a bug.

"Every time a try to click this link, my browser crashes!" <--- that sounds like a bug.

"I'm able to create a webpage that exploits a user interaction to create weird behavior" <---- not a bug! if a problem exists it is within the realm of User Interface Design and not software design or anything within the code itself. The design choices may cause a need to rework the code, but that doesn't make a bug magically appear in the code.
