Yeah, that seemed to be the usage in most contemporary literature/magazines. There are also those other architectural factors like the bus width, the number of PICs, the keyboard subsystem and so on, which is why you could have "XT-class" 8086 and even 286 machines (like a Tandy 1000 model or two).

We can not have a decent discussion if we are not basing off of a common set of priors, which is why I'm asking for citations on your end.

Ruby didn't "fall out of favor" 10 years ago, usage of Ruby as well as Rails moved into the enterprise space. Instead of startups using Rails, it was larger companies trying to circumvent the bureaucracy of their existing toolchains. I was a Ruby developer that whole time, and only stopped writing it at my day job in 2020.

Others in this comment thread have pointed out JavaScript, and I think that's a pretty good bet on why Ruby isn't really used by newer companies anymore. If you're trying to build an application for the web, it makes a lot more sense to work with _one_ language rather than two. Additionally, because JavaScript is always going to have a good amount of developers in the hiring pool due to its platform exclusivity over the web frontend, it's much easier to build out your engineering team than it was when your code is written in Ruby. Ryan Dahl described JS as "the best dynamic language in the world". I'm not entirely sure if I agree with that, but I do know where he's coming from. JavaScript is much easier and more ergonomic to use these days, and some of the most innovative technologies for web application development are coming out of this space.

I love Rails, but given the way things are going, I'm not sure I'll ever build a project with it again. We just don't need it anymore. That's not to say it doesn't have a place, and there will definitely always be jobs in Rails since it's being heavily used by the enterprise world, just that I don't think I'll be all that interested in it again now that I can use JS for everything.
I would place this comment in the same bucket :P

You can't "prove" that something doesn't exist. And dark matter is simply a big fat "????" inserted into our math to make our equations match what we see.

I think it's fair for them to state that dark matter doesn't exist, in the same way that I can fairly confidently state that "The christian god" does not exist.

Doesn't explain how we got here, or what actually needs to change to make our equations match our observations, but it's a reasonable stance to encourage folks to stop spending time on an unlikely solution (even if it so far produces the best model we have).
“Fudge factor” massively undersells it. For instance, measurements from the bullet cluster are quite compelling that there is significant mass in a galaxy that we don’t directly measure. That’s the definition of dark matter.

tools enable people to do more things. those things can increase or decrease productivity. at the end of the day, it's largely defined by individual settings.

examples:
* if you in ops or management, and are in comm mode daily, need calls / messages with your team, this keeps you hooked up to everything going on.
* if you are in engineering or research, and want to go into deep focus, you can use the widgets for things like code, logs, a lofi playlist, etc.
* if you're a degen trader, you can also load up 5 twitter widgets and a stonk chart.

sure if the engineer used a degen trader dashboard, it would be counter productive. Google can't stop me from opening reddit / youtube on my browser, I don't blame them for making me less productive.

I am squinting at print media, broadcasts, and maybe live performances as a form of data. For example in the 1970s I expect my family had a book budget. My book budget has been subsumed by my ISP budget and they both effectively accomplish the same thing (reading material).

I will start by saying that I know very little about theoretical physics so I could be totally off here. But to me the idea of dark matter feels a little like the theory of ether[1]. Basically we observed a behavior we couldn’t explain, so we create a new invisible substance that permeates the cosmos to fill the hole in our scientific world view. It turned out that we just didn’t understand the science well enough, and there was no ether out there in the first place. Dark matter feels like too convenient of an explanation given that we have never detected it.

I wouldn't quite say that there's only 2 concurrency choices, but I agree that there's only 2 concurrency choices in Python if you are operating under heavy load.

The multi-threaded concurrency style can be a great choice if your performance requirements are low and you only want a small amount of concurrency. Then it can be very easy to emulate a Golang-esq model, by having just a few threads which are communicating by writing data via queues to one another.
The article is not about MOND, it is about the falsification of Dark Matter. They do advocate MOND, but the main takeaway is right up front:

> The current cosmological model only works by postulating the existence of dark matter – a substance that has never been detected, but that is supposed to constitute approximately 25% of all the universe. But a simple test suggests that dark matter does not in fact exist. If it did, we would expect lighter galaxies orbiting heavier ones to be slowed down by dark matter particles, but we detect no such slow-down. A host of other observational tests support the conclusion: dark matter is not there.
I assure you Deming knew what he was doing, and my statistics knowledge is not limited to cargo culting the more popular SPC tools. However, they are useful for teaching the general public about accounting for the internal variation of data from the same population.

That said, as I've admitted in a more constructive parent comment, this tool was misapplied here due to my misreading of the GGP.

It's usually easier to use an Android emulator like GenyMotion or a rooted Android phone and use HTTPToolkit and/or some certificate bypassing method using Frida or other and then explore APIs through their official apps.

I've scraped loads of stuff through unofficial APIs before this way. Most developers don't ever expect people to do this so they're often a bit less secure too.

Alternatively sometimes doing a Global GitHub / Sourcegraph search you might find someone else who's done the hard work to reverse engineer an API and open-sourced it.

Separation of concerns is different from separation of languages.

PHP intermingled with HTML was bad because developers would do things like run database queries and other operations that caused side effects directly in the markup. Every templating system still has logic in it, and almost every templating system as a way to create custom helpers which are written in the host language.

Since API calls and calls to react's `setState` are asynchronous, and the rendering pipeline is synchronous, it is still obvious that you can't put code that makes an AJAX call in your html markup.

Although some of the Basic Law is based on the Weimar Republic's constitution, the first article is a protection of the human dignity ("Menschenwürde") and human rights; they are core values protected by the Basic Law. The principles of democracy, republicanism, social responsibility, federalism and rule of law are key components of the Basic Law (Article 20). Articles 1 and 20 are protected by the so-called eternity clause ("Ewigkeitsklausel") Article 79 (3) that prohibits any sort of change or removal of the principles laid down in Articles 1 and 20.

It's different this time though, with the level of institutionalization and how VC-funded (and even public) capital is directly intertwined in on-chain funds in a way we have not seen play out before.
A lot of companies use those perks as an excuse to get their workers to stick around an extra 4+ hours at the office. Of course this doesn't actually help productivity (they simply drag their day and work out longer), but to simple minded managers it sure seems like a huge win.
If you have two particles in empty space with an (attractive) force between them… how did they get apart to begin with? This potential energy was introduced to the system when they were separated, and will be converted to kinetic energy as they attract.

Color confinement is basically a way of saying that the potential energy needed to separate color-charged particles stays high with increasing distance, until you put in enough energy to produce new (color-neutral) particle pairs that locally bind to the particles you were separating.
Funny. Had to do it in a Boston gym, never saw it anywhere in Europe.
But that's my point. If the strength of the force is constant, independent of distance, then the farther away quarks contribute the same as the nearer quarks. In other words, distance doesn't matter, whether something's farther away or closer has no bearing on the strength of the force.
The fact that they're releasing the code and weights is so insanely cool. Love enriching the public goods.

The issues with the the NHS getting gutted by conservatives who want everyone to subscribe to their mates insurance, does not stop folks who provide insurance based healthcare from doing the same.

If they cut spending on the hospital, there really isn't any recourse.

Per the discussion, it only ends once sanctions are lifted, and that requires a willingness from "us" to make peace with Russia. If there is feelings of spitefulness for what they did the sanctions could continue even after Russia pulls out.
> Why would there be only two?

Sure. You could abolish the Union entirely, and just have states. I don't think it's obvious that that would be a terrible thing - either for USAians or for the rest of us. My sense is that a lot of USAians don't really want a Union. I suspect that many USAians think the Union was effectively a coup.

The question remains: how do you spread the nukes around?

My guess is that the residents of Wyoming could do without nukes. They have a lot of land-based nukes, that serve no defensive purpose (for Wyoming); they just make Wyoming a target. I wonder which state might decide that they need nukes, to defend themselves from someone outside North America?

Second question: how you divide up the military equipment that isn't nuclear - ships, tanks, rockets, planes etc. All that equipment carries a heavy cost - it has to be maintained, replaced, tested etc.
I think this is bad advice, what follows the "but" can be on a spectrum. It can run from struggling with one's own beliefs, to empathizing with the real-world consequences of others, to all-out advocating for an abandonment of the beliefs that came before the "but". Life is complicated, trite quotes like this don't leave much room to explore the corners - personal and social - of nuanced topics.

I suppose I'm quite the idiot because for a big portion of the time, I'm happy. In a way, I learned to distance myself from things and people that made me unhappy; this was already a huge step towards happiness. Another thing was to learn to appreciate even the smallest things most people deem insignificant: a ride through town, the way the light breaks through the glass in the shower, an interesting pattern on the sidewalk, listening to the wind through the trees. I am a living being existing in this exact moment in time and space, experiencing life. And apparently, being a happy idiot.

If someone has written their own bubble sort to sort a list of numbers and you replace the custom bubble sort with a built-in sort - there really aren't tradeoffs to consider. Your method will be faster, easier to understand, more robust. Their method works, but is strictly inferior.
"Performance is good" is I think something everyone could agree with just hearing it for the first time. There's no reason to prefer worse performance if you can have better performance for no additional cost. Is the same true for normalization? Why is just the state of being more normalized inherently better?

Ah yes, the HOA. A group of elected people that can compel you to do things with your property, require you to pay a share every year or they take your home, and have the ability to fine you if you don't comply with the majority opinion. Very much not a government in any way!
The thing is, it's an extremely simple mechanism which solves all our problems at once. Everything that's currently explained by that of one extra particle, would need separate explanations without dark matter; general relativity + dark matter fits all the data we have. It's not just about galaxy rotation speeds, it's about observations of gravitational mass (as measured by lensing) moving independently from the visible mass, it explains structure formation in the early universe, and other stuff.

It's such a simple explanation which explains so many otherwise unexplained things that I feel we should have pretty strong priors that it's true.

It does make the prediction that there's a lot of detectable massive particles out there. That's not a prediction which is easy to test, but to say there are no predictions isn't right.

> Usually that was in the form of long-running network calls.

That's why doing a network call to another service in the middle of a request is pretty much banned from the monolith. Anything that doesn't have a strict SLO is done from background jobs that can take longer, be retried etc.

Now you mention FedEx so I presume you were working on the shipping service, which by essence is kind of an API bridge so it's probably why it was deemed acceptable there, but that's far cry from what a typical Rails app look like, except maybe in companies that do a lot of micro-services and are forced to do inline requests.

> that's not a use case that Ruby/Rails are built to elegantly handle.

I'd argue the contrary, the elegant way to handle this is to perform these calls from background jobs. Look at shipit [0] for instance, it's syncing with the GitHub API constantly but doesn't do a single API call from inside a request cycle, every single API call is handled asynchronously from background jobs.
