There's a bit more detail about Huh's student days in this 2017 article. It does seem he was a real dropout, and aspiring poet prior to thinking about becoming a sci/tech reporter. He joined Hironaka's course thinking it would make a good journalistic story.

Good question.

First, the SQL involves complex analytical queries on large datasets that need careful pipelining, caching and optimisation. I wasn't sure the extent to which this was possible in sqlalchemy.

Second, it was important that our implementation of the em algorithm (a iterative numerical approach for maximising a likelihood function) was readable/understandable and I felt that readers of the code were more likely to know SQL than sqlalchemy. Certainly i was more comfortable expressing it in SQL than another (i.e. sqlalchemy's) API.

Third, our API allows the user to inject SQL to customise their data linking models and it felt more natural for this to be directly executed rather than go through an abstraction layer.

I'm not a sqlalchemy expert, but my sense is thats it's more appropriate for transaction/atomic SQL than for complex analytical queries

Structure is where structure was made. You can easily make a mess in org-mode/markdown too. Structure does not come from the tool in that space.
I don't know why you disagree with me. Thats exactly my point. Whole EU got dragged into a long war by US, that could have been avoided if EU had any real strength behind it. Whole EU is at fault for being sleepy, thinking that US protection is coming for free.

France tried repeatedly (for their own benefit but thats a given) to arm EU. Germany was comfortable so they turn it down (or at least hide behind US opposition).

Hi! I would like to point out as I have pointed out in comments above, that Beast and CMake (though might look similar) are different tools. Beast is an actual build system, that looks at your beast file and carries out the tasks you have specified. It runs at the very base level executing whatever you tell it to.

CMake and Meson on the other hand are Meta build systems. They do not run any build commands on their own. They use other build systems like Make, Ninja to carry out everything. Think of them as a fancy wrapper around build systems. Beast is here as an alternative to Make and Ninja.

If the 'unused variable'-handling is the only thing that holds you back: it's quite simple to build the zig compiler and patch it. See this post by ryuukk in the corresponding issue on github: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/335#issuecomment-10138... and also https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/335#issuecomment-10184...

I use this method to build a zig compiler to work with, and when I build a release build of my zig-project I switch to the official compiler and fix the handful 'unused variable' errors. Works fine for me.
I think that's a false equivalence. That's more like FedEx buying their own server hardware.
I can't say whether he disliked math, but I think it's clear that he didn't want to pursue it initially, for practical reasons if nothing else. As you can find in his bio on Wikipedia, he performed poorly on mathematical aptitude tests in elementary school, and so he thought he wouldn't be particularly good at it. If these are the kinds of math tests that I encountered as a kid (multiply, divide, solve single-variable equations, etc. as fast as humanly possible), it's unsurprising that he could still be good at abstract math, because these 2 skillsets have almost nothing in common.

If you are using a provider like Mapbox to render the tiles you are going to pay by requests / tiles / resources used so having low-intent drive-by traffic is not going to help you.

Without a doubt, a future generation of executives will revisit and reverse the decision to rent all information infrastructure, but that will likely be many, many years down the road.

IMO, you severely underestimate how difficult wars are now. Russia has not even general mobilization active, Moscow is running "business as usual" (AFAIK). Taking any "modern" military completely out is a guaranteed war of attrition at this point (and a MAD in itself)
I felt I got into this point where everything was revolving around me. It was all about "me, me, me". And at that time, I suspected that most of my problems were generated by putting my opinions/ego on a pedestal.

Yep... A couple of million of packages daily + tracking a fleet of vehicles, client facing site, apis for their tracking and courrier services/devices plus some internal services (billing etc...).. this seems like it would fit on a few racks, not nearly 400million, or whatever the full number is (since 400m are just the savings).

But yeah... old company, they might still have stuff written in cobol virtualized somewhere.
> Hence why I consider FromSoftware servers childish.

Servers in FromSoft games are only for matchmaking. The actual gameplay has always been peer to peer. The design of the games mean that making the multiplayer entirely online server based would not work. They're peer to peer because that's the best way to support the hybrid singleplayer / multiplayer design where players drop into and out of your world. Otherwise your world state would need to be consistently synced to the server, which introduces major problems -- in particular, the fact that you would be dealing with lag in a game that you spend mostly singleplayer.

They would have to rework the game design to be able to effectively make the multiplayer run on dedicated servers instead of P2P.
Right, this is a real fear on closed platforms like OSX and Windows. Microsoft is actually going to this direction with the pluton platform. But this also means the "personal" from PC gets taken away. The thing is, software developers themselves can't achieve lock-in and take over the control how the code gets executed on your PC if the platform you are running does not provide this feature in the first place.

So typical sandboxing on Linux will never go in the ways of DRM, or give control to the publisher of the software. Your fear will become true, if software starts targetting or even preferring a trusted platform instead of a open platform like the PC we currently have. But this is not fault of a sandboxing technology itself, it's the fault of companies looking to have control over their product and their users.

Unfortunately, I can see future going towards with trusted platforms, where users on non-trusted system will be heavily handicapped, for example netflix not allowing 4k streaming, multiplayer games not allowing you online, or putting you on different servers etc... Valve's linux + proton push may make developers keep targeting the proton WIN32 subset in the future, but we'll see...

Regarding modding, many online games do not allow it even in the current form, requiring you to play offline if the game is modified, or connect to a custom server. By the way, on linux you can easily achieve a sandbox using bwrap https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap
Is this a whoosh situation where the low tech comes into play?
I think people need both steady state and HIIT. Much like it's hard to go super heavy low reps all the time when lifting. It's good to cycle up and down.

As you mention, HIIT is also very hard for many people do even if they are healthy and want to do it. The body naturally fights going all out.

I've pitched training BJJ on HN (well to anyone really), and HIIT is yet another reason. People who train end up doing HIIT without even realizing. The body is in defense mode which breaks down some of the natural steady guardrails.

Why do you feel like you need to advocate for a multi-billion dollar company? They deserve all the scrutiny, and even if this isn't malicious or the report is false, they can either make a statement or fix the issue. In general, big tech corps don't deserve volunteer advocates, but Microsoft is especially undeserving of it.

Technology scales faster than fedex's data needs. Maybe somewhere in the future the reverse trend happens as their needs can be met with very small servers. Though I've always been wary of putting your data somewhere because getting your data to a competitor costs alot of money.
I did read the thread, and as the other commenter has suggested, most users do install non-free codecs which is why this works, but also why Microsoft may have used the user agent as an indicator.

With trucks etc. there are still independent companies that can fix those and transitioning to a new provider is straightforward. With IT in cloud there is a strong vendor lock-in.
You can say the same thing for hundreds of parts of a company like FedEx.

For example FedEx flies Boeing jets. It's completely reliant on Boeing for parts for those jets. Presumably Boeing can charge whatever it wants.

Your company is always going to be reliant on other suppliers and contracts. Unless you're planning on building your own independent country in some location that has all the natural resources you need.

Non-argument.
An interview process is successful if you hire candidates which turn out to be a good fit both ways.

An interview process is fair if you don't exclude any candidates that would have met the criteria if not for the lousy interview process.

While you seem to be enjoying the former (for now), you are intentionally or accidentally narrowing the pool, and mistreating a number of your candidates.

If intentional, the word will get out, even if it takes a while. If accidental, I hope you work to improve the process.

But that's only really a change when you come from commodity hardware. For those still on mainframes, what's the difference? Technically the hardware might be charged per replacement cycle instead of monthly, but vendors are just as empowered to demand whatever they want. It's certainly hard to avoid lock-in running stuff on a cloud provider, but I suspect that it is even harder when depending on ye olde mainframe.
If the bitrate goes down, too, then people with spotty connections or bad experiences might want to try the other side.

> I do hope someday git and others employ either a git annex or mercurial-style scheme where if it's a large binary file: 1. no diff is performed, and 2. only the latest version is kept within the history.

That will never happen in fossil: one of fossil's core-most design features and goals is that it remembers _everything_, not just the latest copy of a file. The way it records checkins, as a list of files and their hashes, is fundamentally incompatible with the notion of tossing out files. It is capable of permanently removing content, but that's a feature best reserved for removal of content which should never have been checked in (e.g. passwords, legally problematic checkins, etc.). Removing content from a fossil repo punches holes in the DAG/blockchain and is always to be considered a measure of last resort. In my 14+ years in the fossil community, i can count on 2 fingers the number of times i've recommended that a user use that capability.

> I could see the SQLite limitation worked around by just splitting up binary data into multiple pieces.

There's no need to work around that "limitation" because "source code" trees don't deal with files of anywhere _near_ that size. Fossil is, first and foremost, designed to support the sqlite project itself: it was literally designed and written to be sqlite's SCM. Projects with scales of 1000x that project's are nowhere near fossil's radar.

Sharding large files over multiple blobs doesn't solve some of the underlying limitations, e.g. performing deltas. Fossil's delta algorithm requires that both the "v1" and "v2" versions of a given piece of content be in memory at once (along with the delta itself), and rewriting it to account for sharded blobs would be an undertaking in and of itself. That's almost certain to never happen until/unless the sqlite project needs such a feature (which, i'm confident in saying, it never will).

TL;DR: fossil is, plain and simple, not the SCM for projects which need massive blobs.
> and just computed the prior work loads on DSPs and FPGAs sitting behind APIs already wired into LLVM

Ha, ha, good one. Upstream LLVM supports PTX just fine. (and GCC too by the way)

FPGAs have a _much more_ closed-down toolchain. They're really not a good example to take. Compute toolchains for FPGAs are really brittle and don't perform that well. They're _not_ competitive with GPUs perf-wise _and_ are much more expensive.

More seriously, CUDA maps to the hardware well. ROCm is a CUDA API clone (albeit a botched one).

> the market of uncanny cat image generators.

GPUs are used for far more things than that. Btw, Intel's Habana AI accelerators have a driver stack that is also closed down in practice.
Speaking for myself: For someone who didn't have a software engineering background (for the last decade I was mainly doing offensive Security stuff) probably the main choice would be Python. However, at some point I've felt in love with statically typed languages: The compiler became my biggest friend and I learned about the benefits of having "contracts" (in form of interfaces, strict parameter types for methods etc.) between (software) components.

That's why I've spent the last years learning Go. It taught me how to design bigger projects and how to tackle architectural problems in an easy/comprehensive way. I didn't try Rust yet because I didn't have to. I mainly code software/tools to work in cloud environments and HTTP/gRPC technologies. Under these circumstances Golang performs quite well.

For me it's true that Go "is better for getting things done": You'll get one statically linked binary that can be executed almost everywhere (without further dependencies). I'm a big fan of serverless and I wrote simple applications that currently run in AWS Lambda and Netlify (they also used Lambda under the hood). And more recently I got into web development where Golang is again my main choice (at least for the backend part). For frontend I would rather go for VueJS/React. And that's one reason why I've started to learn TypeScript.

I don't have that much experience in TS but I guess I could easily replace Golang by TS to do simple things (HTTP requests, JSON parsing etc.), especially in a Serverless environment.

While my Golang journey was accompanied by this "Golang vs Rust" debate, I do plan to learn Rust as well. But as I've mentioned before, currently I don't have any needs to do so. My advice would be: Learn both (for backend) and some TypeScript (for frontend).

Just my 2 cents...
It's amazing there are no other voices in the room pushing back against this. It really makes you wonder how companies even function at all, much less make money. Being so short sided never ends well.

Ownership is a legal right. You found/created it, so society gives you the right to rule about it's usage for a certain time. The same applies to physical objects. You own something, because society gives you the permission, not because you have the actual power to protect it with your own muscles.

And there is nothing wrong with this concept; it encourages people to search and create, and prevents people from being abused by the strong and getting their findings stolen. Generally, this is beneficial for everyone and lets society moving forward and to higher levels of quality.
