I don't have access to such corporate software at the moment, but can you verify in devtools where the delay is actually coming from in the apps you mention? Leaping to "the stack is bad it needs to be rewritten in rust" is extreme, especially when apps like VS Code are generally regarded as non-slothy [1]. Or at least not more slothy than the domain requires [2].

I'd wager the developers are poorly incentivized - if something satisfies the ticket and looks fast enough on their tiny test bed with state of the art hardware and great network (perhaps even localhost), it ships. On the other hand I don't consider something good enough to ship until it is fast enough on testbeds orders of magnitude larger than what I expect a "normal" workflow would include. The process of going from "works" to "fast enough for people using 100x larger inputs than I expect" almost never involves "rewrite in rust"[3], but instead "cache cleverly", "debounce discretely", and if all else fails "sit down and ponder on novel algorithms and data structures". These are all operations that are just as easy, if not easier, in high level languages as compared to rust.

[1]: Full disclosure I was paid to write vscode for a period. When VS Code is slow, and it 100% is at times, the root cause is almost always an extension blocking progress for some dumb reason. This absolutely blows, but isn't a problem rust would solve - indeed extensions can already invoke rust.

[2]: inb4 "but sublime!": Running experiments, I've found sublime to in fact be slower than a fresh VS Code install at working with very large files. Of course when you have extensions trying to do dumb stuff with the big files, VS Code can get worthlessly slow. Again not a problem rust would solve. Try it: make a 5M line file, click it open it in Sublime, then in VS Code. On my machine VS Code opens it well before Sublime can.

[3]: Yes there are some times when rewriting in rust is appropriate, for instance VS Code's search is ripgrep - but rust isn't handling the UI at all, it's running in a separate thread doing what it does best (multithreaded systems programming), while the main renderer thread is doing what it does best (rendering). This is the way forward for the truly "inner loop" code, IMO.
> To the point that even the stack size of green "threads" is known ahead of time.

This is only possible by not having stacks for those "green threads" (they're stackless coroutines, not stackful fibers/proper green threads).

It puts a severe limitation on the usefulness and forces any kind of recursive coroutine to heap allocate on returns.

>Surprisingly, it is illegal in Texas and other parts of the US though it may not be enforced.

This is second-hand, but I was told by a horse trainer in Kentucky that one reason is pharmaceutical: the drugs used on most horses in the US as a matter of course make them problematic for eating.
Horses are integral to the history and culture of Iceland to the point of having an exclusive breed of horses with their own unique gait yet you can still eat horse here.
That only works until the user has TWO offline devices and both making conflicting changes. A better solution would be to use something like Simperium (https://simperium.com/).

Disclosure: I work for Automattic.
You get the same thing in every language where you can choose a runtime. Whether the colors are enforced by the compiler is another matter, but since you can only have one runtime per thread and each runtime has a different API you inherently get runtime colors.
"College kids in private colleges" are a tiny minority, are you sure that they comprise most of those protesting racism in the U.S. e.g. as regards policing and criminal justice? That's quite disappointing if true.
I wrote my Thesis in LibreOffice in 2019 on a 2015 MacBook Air, with Zotero integration. It was pretty nice, and thanks to MacOS even coming back just fine, document open and no line lost after me being too stupid to plug my Mac into power, it was a pretty great experience.
It's important we publish things like this so the next generation will know what not to do.
It's funny how it says there's "one picture in existence" but the site just shows "watterson.jpeg" and no actual photo, even in old archives.
Because being cynical is the easiest route to feeling smart. It takes no effort to dismiss something.

It’s a mindset that unintentionally optimizes short term comfort at the expense of long term growth.

Do you need to be fist pumping and leading the charge? No. But unbound cynicism is really a sad way to live.
Linux Process Priorities Demystified
Well what you seem to be arguing more about the misrepresentation than the final product.

Given the alternatives it really seemed like a lesser of the three/four evils.
I'm in the same boat.

I can remember old Win32 C APIs and details like DDX that I haven't used in 20 years, but I frequently make gaffes with my wife, not remembering things that are important to her.

I can remember the paper, pages and formatting of old Sam's and Wrox technical manuals, I can visually recall the exact shade of blue of the old DOS Borland C compiler, and the look and feeling of the pages in favorite books I read as a teenager.

But my wedding is just a series of fragmented images all mixed up with outher things.

I remember the night my wife and I met only in "narrative form".

She, on the other hand, can remember events like that in crystal detail, she can describe everyone that was there, what they were wearing, etc...

I read this study with a sense of comfort, nice to know it's not just me.

Based on some of the comments here, I think it would be interesting to see if this sort of thing is a trend with different sexes.
Someone reported your post for self-harm/suicidal tendencies. It's a pest on reddit and is spreading to other social networks as a form of retaliation or disagreement and most of them handle it like dmca requests... better safe than sorry.
I worked with Edd Dumbill[1] to bring HTTPS and certificate support to the PHP XML-RPC bindings. It was one of my very first open source contributions and interactions, and it was super empowering. I was running the tech at Voxel.net at the time, an early web hosting provider to many open source projects. We were using XML-RPC to write the beginnings of Ubersmith[2], which was our billing, hosting, and support management platform.

Later, those bindings made it into very early Drupal core[3] and onto thousands of websites. In this era, you could make desktop apps talk to websites using an XML-RPC gateway — for content management or many other tasks.

Yes, XML and related tech is fairly horrible, but context is everything.

If you were running servers, there was enormous pressure to use Microsoft.

If you were by chance running open source (LAMP stack), making applications work together was a challenge. Interoperability was not the norm, despite a pretty rich internet. Formats and standards were the problem.

You would email code patches around. There was no GitHub, and SourceForge was only starting to gain traction.

If were using open source version control in this era, you were likely on CVS, which was an "improvement" over RCS, but still nothing like the promised future tech of Subversion, which wasn't text-backed. Text-backed! Versions of files were concatenated, and instead of force pushing, you opened this concatenation abomination in a text editor to hack the repo history (if you were a bad, bad person, but needed to get the job done).

As mentioned many other places in this thread, if you were doing open source interop, the heavyweight option was SOAP. XML-RPC was as much a breath of fresh air as JSON is to XML.

Fairly-literal text was bloated, slow, and XML even more so, but it was all pretty cutting edge for the time.

You know how there was the first airplane flight across America?

Then the first car driven across America.

Much later cycling, running, walking.

When is going to be the first drone flight across America?

Lots of technical and political hurdles.

I am sure the military has already done it, I mean at the consumer level.
The devil is in the details. If the project has taken a couple of years to reach $399/month, growth is incredibly slow.

I mostly use these sites to get ideas.
In my case there is not gonna be a full overlap -which is also the reason why I'm going there- but you brought up a good point, thank you.

Lovely! Try bumping --mesh-octree-depth by 1 or 2 for sharper models. Also if you're capturing photos in motion, definitely enable --rolling-shutter which will help compensate for the rolling shutter distortion of the DJI Mini 2's camera (it will take a bit longer to process though).
I think a lot of it comes from ancient tribal customs. Many pastoral/nomadic groups, like the Aryans, would only eat horses as a last resort. The horse was so important to the tribe's survival. Incidentally, the same taboo was probably applied to eating cows, as that animal was extremely important for Indo-Aryans' survival. Over time the original meaning of the taboo is lost, it just continues to get enforced by each subsequent generation.
You actually can use it to make cross-platform applications. GTK is cross-platform.
Should it be illegal to eat peaches in Atlanta?
Both, I think their point is that they’ve got rid of most of the wooden sleepers and replaced them with ‘modern’ concrete.

Unfortunately, ‘modern’ is a pretty meaningless word and tells us nothing as to the why of this.
I would need to see a source for this, because it doesn't sound plausible to me. Populations were lower of course, but look at how much of the population is concentrated in city centers today.

I would hardly be surprised if rural population density was significantly higher than in the past, with more farms as well as more grazing herds, even if they were much smaller than what we have today.

But I also don't really know if this squares with the sheer amount of meat and dairy that modern humans consume. How much does factory farming offset the need for open grazing land?

Basically, this is a subject area where intelligent clever people get themselves into trouble by thinking they know more than they do. I'd rather see what the experts say.
I don't care, there are ways to build public goods services
Amazing comment worthy of it's own article.
>hardwired to a specific async runtime

With version constraints, right? IIRC you can end up with multiple versions of multiple async runtimes in a project. I think it'd be better to only have a single one hardwired to the compiler like python's asyncio, even if it likewise sucked.

Why on earth would Facebook think it is ok to bypass that? This should be considered a violation of the CFAA. Start putting Facebook execs in federal prison.
All the sheep in Iceland are let out in the spring and spend their entire time living wild before being rounded up in autumn (which is a really big event). So they spend a lot more time eating quality food and mountain herbs. Makes all the difference. Lamb here really is amazing.
Does Amazon retail make ginormous profits? Genuine question. I googled for a few minutes but, given the way the company is structured with regards to AWS, it doesn't seem simple (possible?) for an outsider to determine the margins on their retail operations.
The pencil introduced graphite dust into the air that caused electrical problems.

This is why astronauts use a pen. Sometimes the "cheap and simple" way has side effects that are more harmful than the original problem.

Is this satire? It feels like satire. A perfect sendup of “both sides”-ism.

If it’s not satire, I’ve only got one argument to offer: what are the odds that the advantages and disadvantages of both sides are equally balanced? Vanishingly small. So why would you “both sides” things when one is definitely going to be better. Figure out which side that is, and then advocate for it. That’s how progress happens.
I'm building out Trustfall[0] with most of the same goals in mind: query everything with a single composable syntax and fast performance, incrementally evolve the schema, and build up the types of objects it can understand and query into your own personal (or shared!) graph.

I recently gave a conference talk on how we use queries over Dockerfiles + project configuration + deployment info to triage bugs and prevent them from coming back at my workplace. An example query is "find Python projects whose pyproject.toml specifies Python 3.9 but which get deployed with a Dockerfile that installs Python 3.7 instead." Here's the talk link: https://www.hytradboi.com/2022/how-to-query-almost-everythin...

If you'd like to see Trustfall in action, I recently used it to build a Rust semver-checking tool[1] that's just a bunch of Trustfall queries like "find structs that used to be public but now aren't public anymore"[2] etc.

Trustfall definitely doesn't yet do everything I'd like it to (e.g. caching), and the Adapter API needs some more polish to improve ergonomics. But if you're interested in trying it out despite those caveats, I'd love to hear what you think!

That wasn't a change in the ledger - it was the misselling and fraudulent opening of accounts. And it was remediated, there was a change in the leadership and settlements to the victims. You're proving my point, as a system we do a decent job of enforcing good behaviour.
What distinguishes Stride from Godot, Unity, and Unreal?

Right now it looks like:

- Unity: Stride is more modern (C# 9) and hopefully less buggy. Also open-source

- Godot: Stride is more traditional as it uses C# instead of a custom language. It also looks more polished but i can't say anything about that from just the screenshots

- Unreal: Stride uses C# which is higher-level than C++, and it's open-source, yet just like Unreal it looks really good

But the devs should put the actual comparisons on their website because they're very important.
> I didn't not find this book useful. Somehow it managed to confuse me more.

And now you’re carrying on the tradition.
And I'm saying that "those trying to build the plants" has to be the government itself. Because despite your belief, the construction is absolutely the dominant cost.

You need to contract for specialized materials to make components. Forge those materials incorrectly and it's PHYSICS that stops the project from working, not the government. Not lawsuits. Do you have an idea of how much it costs to enrich nuclear materials? Do you have an idea what the specs are for materials that can contain enriched nuclear materials? Materials that can contain a meltdown? What it takes to construct structures incorporating said materials?

I'll tell you right now that it will cost more than lawsuits about the hornbutted swallow losing its habitat or whatever. That's just reality.
You can just look this stuff up on wikipedia...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_(biology) "Family (Latin: familia, plural familiae) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equidae "Equidae (sometimes known as the horse family) is the taxonomic family of horses and related animals, including the extant horses, donkeys, and zebras, and many other species known only from fossils."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovidae "The Bovidae comprise the biological family of cloven-hoofed, ruminant mammals that includes cattle, bison, buffalo, antelopes, and goat-antelopes. A member of this family is called a bovid."

No, horses and cattle are not in the same family. Nor are they in the same clade; cattle are artiofabula, (ruminants) horses are mesaxonia. (odd toed ungulates) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artiofabula https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesaxonia

> But to also be fair, if you want to classify horses and cows as edible based on their shared common ancestry, you’re also arguing for eating giraffes, tapirs, rhinos, hippos, whales and dolphins.

The argument is about whether horses and cattle are in the same family, not that a species' taxonomic classification can be an indication that they ought to be eaten.
What is your experience with mixed workload (OLTP and OLAP) databases?
As many people know, a database engine is usually designed and built to either do transactions well (OLTP) or analytic operations well (OLAP), but not both. There are a few databases on the market that claim to do both kinds, but I don't know how well they do in each case.

I have created a new kind of general-purpose data management system called Didgets that uses a bunch of key-value stores I invented to attach metadata tags to data objects. It turns out that these same key-value stores work really well in creating columnar-store relational tables. I have created some pretty big tables with it (1000 columns, 200M rows) and it does queries extremely fast.

Like other columnar stores, it seems to do analytic operations faster than row-oriented systems, but it can also do transactions pretty fast too. On my desktop I can insert additional rows into a 15M row, 10 column table at a rate of about 100K/sec. The latest video on my youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-L1oTcH0ocMXShifCt4JQQ) shows it doing that while also doing analytic operations as the data grows.

Since my experience with file systems is much more than with databases (I don't build data warehouses and do ETL); I don't know how important this feature is. I don't want to waste time refining this ability and trying to promote it if no one finds that feature particularly useful.

Who is using mixed workload databases and why?
I only wrote this after some coworkers asked me about a weird looking websites. I'm not a brave user. I just downloaded it and messed around with links on my own site until I saw that was what was happening.
..since that warning was introduced in 2021
Yeah, something like a client side only GraphQL would be nice. Define your service/object relations and then query remote (REST or otherwise) services as a connected graph. Data is woven together client side but the benefit is services are agnostic to it and you could weave together many public services.
Are we still pretending anyone uses Mega for something other than piracy?
My wife and I are both software engineers.

My wife consistently outearned me.

Then we had a baby and she wanted to stay home.

It's not about total money, it's about quality of life too.

I made enough money to support everyone.

Of course five years later I now make more than my wife did.

I wanted (and still do) to stay home with my kids (my brother does), but my wife doesn't want to work when the kids are little. Plus, if we both worked we could easily afford daycare. In fact if my wife worked I think we could probably retire in a few years since she was bringing in quite a bit.

But the idea that if only we could pay women more than men they wouldn't leave is silly. Families don't just value money or even early retirement or whatever. There is no amount of money to replace your child's early years.

Many rights that everybody enjoys were won by unions and applied to everybody.
You are generalising to all unions some hypothetical case.

Better job opportunities for a part of the population means that all employers need to improve conditions to compete for employees.
I don’t disagree we can turn up the thermostat. At my house, we are at 73-74 on the summer. And we bought slightly undersized heat pumps which operate continuously (and more efficiently) on a typical day but are insufficient on the hottest 10-20 days of the year. This is so my kids will know at least a little bit of adversity, more than for environmental reasons, but still.

But messaging has a way of being simplified, and “anti-AC” is really the wrong tack.
Amazon’s Kiva robots, also https://youtu.be/d7J2_vr0ra4, are not installed in every FC.

They are not willing to pay to upgrade all the old FCs, new international FCs, etc. i.e. “it’s too expensive”.

This is also clear in how Amazon waited till the pandemic to add self checkout counters to many Whole Foods. They spent “$4 BB on safety measures for employees” and called self checkout a safety measure to reduce employee to employee density and employee to customer contact. Again it was previously “too expensive to do in mass” even if only for the terrible press it would have brought out side the pandemic.

Not saying “they will never get to it.” They will. Or that it’s not worth it. But the other commenter is also right that unions and hire wages could drive a larger investment in automation earlier than it would have otherwise.
All of these things are possible, but personally I'd just never risk it by assuming that the pressure wave will escape "somewhere". Call me a coward, but still...
Yes, indeed they’re coming in the city because of the uncollected garbage. They’re searching food inside. One problem that points to another… Rome is beautiful but very complicated!
True, though I'd guess a low single digit percentage. Those are the exception, not the rule. ISPs could upsell them on higher end plans. Though I doubt that will happen. A real problem with broadband is lack of choice, both in the plans themselves and the providers.
Not sure what's your intent with all that "pseudo constructive criticism" tone. And also, what's the point of sharing links that are completely out of the purpose of the post?
Where is the risk with a? Seems like you yourself explain why it would work fine. If you get the coins, great. If not, you do a classic charge back.

Either way, trust of everything outside of owning your coins is irrelevant to the exercise. If you're going to play devil's advocate, you need to come up with relevant counter examples.

He was talking about it crashing while navigating and not coming back up properly with no connection. That's a valid concern.

Offline maps are nice too, but this wouldn't have helped him get his navigation route back.

I've experienced many of these issues through the years too. And a dedicated offline navigation program is probably the way to go.

I do think your tone is somewhat unnecessarily dismissive though.
Oh it’s nothing, just something to make your life easier. Oh, and to make your life better as well. Just ignore it and keep using Facebook.
