I'm trying to understand what point you're trying to make here. Are you saying America's system is better or worse than that of your country?

I'm in America, and I have fantastic health insurance (by American standards) and waited over a year for a hip replacement surgery. Even with insurance, I paid almost $10,000 for the surgery.

Without insurance it would have cost well over $100k. I suspect that in any other country that provides universal health care it would have been less expensive (for everyone) and I would have waited less then 15 months to have it done.
On what social media is this true?
You can't have everything, right?
The more generic way I like to put it is that throughput has been improving exponentially for decades thanks to Moore's law, but latency hasn't changed much at all and has a hard limit due to the speed of light.

Hence the ratio between latency and compute has been changing exponentially. Even a linear or quadratic change would be dramatic, but exponential is something people just can't wrap their heads around. They're unable to really internalise it, in much the same way that in the early days of COVID people couldn't quite fathom how it is possible to go from 3-5 cases per day to tens of thousands.

HDD random I/O latencies are about 10 to 100x slower than a network hope. These days local SSD latencies are about 100x better than a typical network hop and this is just going to keep going. It'll soon be 1,000x better, then 10,000x, etc...

Any architecture using "remote storage" or "remote database calls" will be absolutely hamstrung by this. It'll be the equivalent of throwing away 99.99% or even 99.999% of the available performance.

People will eventually wise up to this and start switching over to distributed databases that run in the same VM/container as the application tier. So instead of "N" web servers talking to "M" database servers, it'll be N+M nodes with both components deployed into them.

Whatever argument can be made against this new architecture will become exponentially invalidated over time. Putting everything together is "too many GB of software to deploy"? Bzzt... we'll have 1 TB ram soon in typical servers. The CPU load of both together is too high? Bzzt.. the next EPYC CPUs will likely have 128 cores! Cache thrashing a problem? Bzzt... 1 GB and larger L3/L4 CPU caches are just around the corner.
Among other things, SpaceX is named in a lawsuit for Musk's shady behavior surrounding DogeCoin. One point in the letter seems irrefutable to me: as a de-facto spokesperson for SpaceX, he's causing problems for the company. Also, he openly relishes being an asshole, which sends a pretty weird message to a company with a "No Assholes" policy (whatever that means).

Folks on HN lauded the CoinBase stance that people should check their politics at the door; Musk is doing the exact opposite of that.
For the curious, Fennel[1] is to Lua what Clojure is to Java. I'm curious, though, can you not add Lua libraries to redbean? My understanding is that the file is a zip and you can therefore add dependencies and (presumably) load them into the lua runtime on invocation. E.g. you don't need Justine to add it for you, you can add it yourself.

I don't understand why Google would have to answer for a more expansive charge, rather than the one that's actually leveled.

Whenever I get downvoted for something, I tend to have another comment on the same page that says nearly the same thing and gets upvoted just as much, so it all evens out. Can't say I get any information out of this.
Relativity: from our perspective, light moves at 300 000 km/s; from light's own perspective, it actually moves at infinite speed.

Which by the way is a reason why you can never reach the speed of light; because it would mean reaching (from your own perspective) an infinite speed, and you can't do that by burning a finite amount of fuel.
I always didn’t understand how some of people were so positive/nice all the time and I thought they were really good at faking it. Then one time I spent a bit of time with their family and immediately understood why.

You are absolutely right. There was so much trust between the kids and the parent. You could tell from the way they act and talk around each other. That experience was very enlightening for me.

Their whole point is that it's not a fair playing field, so independent companies don't stand a chance. Therefore even decently sized companies like Mozilla have to suck on the teat of the Big Tech behemoths.
Onedrive, Google drive, icloud, s3. Take your pick.
I felt that the live interview was fairly ok at that. A staff engineer watched you code and debug stuff, asked you how you would do XYZ, etc. This took a few hours so must have cost the company $100s in engineering time. I can see why they don't do it any more. There's not much more they can do in a compressed time frame. Lately a bunch of companies want you to do unpaid multi-day take-home assignments before they even talk to you, but that is nuts. An alternative could be a paid brief engagement, like an NBA 10-day contract. I've done some things like that, which worked ok.
Today, in many cases, it truly is about optimising algorithms instead of building faster machines.

Because it’s possible to be passionate about rocketry and spaceflight, and what SpaceX has accomplished, and be proud of how you’ve contributed to that…

Not to derail from your main point, but how does Musk's public conduct play into your reason for selling your Tesla? I'm not a fan of the man but that shouldn't really be a factor in whether or not I use a product he's involved in.
He just needs to update his profile to say "Opinions are my own. RT != endorsement".

Interesting that the author singles out using a search engine as a calculator as a bad idea. I do use proper calculators sometimes, but what makes google attactive as one is that it can handle both unit conversions and natural language. "30 milliliters * 50 in ounces" is an example. It's surprisingly flexible in what it recognizes.
I disagree, and I'd be fascinated to hear more of your perspective here.

I love Rust precisely because I can keep extra information out of my head. When I express something with the type system, I can stop tracking it mentally, and just rely on the compiler to keep track of it for me. With dynamic languages, I have to track far more mental state.

"Mutable xor shared" does not have anything to do with concurrency or threads. Here's one example in the Rust Playground: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

If this were permitted, then this example would have use-after-free whenever myvec reallocates its storage. No concurrency needed.

I'm not sure what you have in mind for circular references, but I don't know of any complications with circular references that have anything to do with concurrency.

Exactly. Shoddy assembly, inadequate paint coverage, bumpers that fall off while driving, "whompy wheels" that were due to badly put together suspension, chassis damage from the factory and so on haven't really dented Tesla's reputation - although that's in an atmosphere where most buyers feel the need to write multi-paragraph attestations to how much they love Tesla before discussing those things.
At one previous company we advertised a job and got five CVs total from it. Anyone who's done hiring knows that the quality of five randomly chosen applicants is not going to be high.

I'm 100% sure that the best person for the job wasn't the referral we ended up hiring, but the real best person was too busy sitting cross-legged on a mountaintop meditating on the meaning of pointers and writing all their code in haiku to send us an application.

You don't get to chose from all the people, you get to choose from the ones your hiring funnel brings in. Sometimes the market is tight and you can't find anyone good.

I think the issue isn't even individual developers, it's indeed the runtime itself. Anything you build on top of it is laggy.

Take my simple example of reading a file, processing it in memory, writing output. A process that should be instant in almost any case.

An implementation of such process that is commonly used in the front-end world would be CSS compilation, where a SCSS file (which is 90% CSS) is compiled into normal CSS output. The computation being pretty simple, it's all in-memory and some reshuffling of values.

In terms of what is actually happening (if we take the shortest path to solve the problem), this process should be instant. Not only that, it can probably handle a 1,000 of such files per second.

Instead, just a handful of files takes multiple seconds. Possibly a thousand times slower than the shortest path. Because that process is a node package with dependencies 17 layers deep running an interpreted language. Worse, the main package requires a Ruby runtime (no longer true for this example, but it was), which then loads a gem and then finally is ready to discover alien life, or...do simple string manipulation.

To appreciate the absurdity of this level of waste, I'd compare it to bringing the full force of the US army in order to kill a mosquito.

It's in end user apps too, and spreading. Desktop apps like Spotify, parts of Photoshop, parts of Office365...all rewritten in Electron, React, etc.

I can understand the perspective of the lonesome developer needing productivity. What I cannot understand is that the core layers are so poor. It means that millions of developers are building millions of apps on this poor foundation. It's a planetary level of waste.

No one likes giving money to assholes. And to be fair, he is doing a pretty good job at revealing himself as one.

> What's preached against is not performance, but a performance-first attitude.

No, I can tell you this same record has been stuck on repeat since at least the mid 1990's. People want to shut down conversations or assign homework because it gets them out of having to think. Not because they're stupid (though occasionally...) but because you're harshing their buzz, taking away from something that's fun to think about.
The email listed the apps that issued tokens in the specified time window. If your notification email listed 0 apps, it means no apps created tokens during the time window in question (I got 1 app listed). I only missed that those tokens had 1h lifetime.
That's just completely false. There have been dozens of new car companies in China operating a far greater scale than Tesla, and there are new ones every one-two years
This is where terms like "cycles of poverty/abuse", "equality of outcome", "welfare", and the like come into play, erroneously or not. Although it may vex a not-insignificant number of people: if one accepts that the state of the parent's life largely determines the state of the life of even the most talented or determined youth, it must also be accepted that any useful intervention is going to assist the parents in concert with the child. In fact, if we accept that there is a sort of psychosocial inheritance from even our dead forebears, we must also see to the rectification of their troubles, as much as we may be able to.

I think we all know what we're talking about when we use terms like "street smarts" and "streetwise" instead of "common sense" or "vigilance" or "poise". So, then, I'm hoping that there's clarity with regards to the kinds of policies the above statements, if accepted, should lead us to support. I'm trying not to state them directly because their utterance tends to lead to a kneejerk reaction; let's see if some rhetorical remove is helpful in quelling passions.

I never found screenshotting on macOS intuitive. Using ShareX on Windows is like night and day. No need to memorize different shortcuts for each kind of screenshot. Just a single shortcut to enter screenshot mode. Then it's

* left click to capture full screen

* hover over a window and left click to capture a specific window

* click and drag to capture a region

* right click to cancel

There's also annotation and drawing tools directly in the screenshot mode. Imo this is way better than how macOS opens the editor afterwards. Because for the times you don't need to annotate, you still have to close the preview window. In other words:

MacOS

* annotation flow: start => capture => annotate

* normal flow: start => capture => close preview

ShareX

* annotation flow: start => annotate => capture

* normal flow: start => capture

ShareX also supports a ton of different other workflows. After capture it can automatically add the image to your clipboard, or open it in an external image editor, or upload it to imgur and add the link to your clipboard, etc etc.

(On Linux the closest thing I have found to ShareX is ksnip [2]. Takes a bit of configuring, for example I recommend disabling tabs, but overall it's good enough for me)

Toptal is consulting? I hadn't heard that before. I know they were notorious for long unpaid take-homes, so I skipped them. They claimed a pass rate of 3.5% but I figured that reflected the low percentage of visitors gullible or desperate enough to do the huge take-home.

What does a person's religious beliefs have to do with hiding collusion? That's a helluva straw man to pull into the conversation, and it completely derails your first point.

I was nodding during your first paragraph, then did a double take to make sure I read the second right.
So if every religion is a cult then why many mainstream denominations are easy to leave?

It affects vehicles especially. There are whole generations of people who will never buy a Harley or a British-branded car or a Fiat because of how absolutely shithouse they were in the 70s through mid-nineties (well not the British cars, because they went bankrupt).

Those sentiments trail any actual improvements for a long time.
How can you know its not both? What we are seeing is some chemicals are clearly disrupting hormones and its something we have tested pretty well in other animals. At the minimum I don't think that we can rule out new chemicals as a part. It also seems likely that gender dysphoria and sexuality are very different things that can't be reasoned about the same way.
That's generous. Apple also ships buggy implementations despite taking more time to ship. Then taking years to fix, if ever. And rarely backporting fixes to older releases.
If you believe the only reason people are using and developing for Safari is because of Apple's monopoly, then that's a real cost or harm to users and developers isn't it? Compared to a theoretical or possible cost of a Chrome monopoly that may not happen. And if it does, then that's what antitrust is for.

I don't want to give Apple a monopoly to protect me from a different monopoly. I want to give power to antitrust to protect me from all monopolies, include Apple's and Google's.
I'd like to say that, as a developer applying for jobs, I thought your UI and documentation for this was all very well done and clear when I used it at the end of 2021. Your knowledge base was especially nice & useful.

I find myself siding with the author of TFA, even if I don't use the tools he uses, but...

... the search engine complaint strikes me as odd. For me, Google doesn't break my flow at all. I find myself searching the web all day long, as part of my job (and basically everything else, as well). My flow is searching the web a lot, typing some code, googling, typing some more, etc. So it's a completely natural extension of my flow to have Google do my calculations and unit conversion for me.

When people talk of futuristic scifi interfaces, they think some disembodied human voice (frequently female) complying with voice commands. But the reality is that Google is already here and I can have it convert between units, do calculations for me, even roll some dice! And I accomplish this just by typing natural language sentences!
