With DTrace you not only don't have to restart processes, but you don't have to recompile them. ETW is glorified logging. Logging is useful, but dynamic tracing is transformatively different. I can't recompile the Windows kernel to add missing ETW probes, but I can use DTrace to probe it just fine.

I wear a fitness tracker every day, and it is extremely clear on which days I've consumed alcohol because my resting heart rate spikes by at least 5% the day afterwards. And I'm a one-beer drinker. It actually took tracking my entire food intake for about two months to figure out what was causing it.

Last time I mentioned this on HN, people here have claimed that the effect was psychosomatic.

I think people grossly underestimate the negative health effects of alcohol, and I doubt any amount of research will really change peoples minds.

You're missing the obvious point, not writing code is faster than writing code. Should you default to every tab complete copilot suggests? Never. Does copilot suggest meaningful completions? Yes it does, and it's pretty good at it. No one said you should write code faster, that's just the side effect.
That… does not make me think he was telling the truth.
>They'll start using surveillance technology in schools

This has been going on since at least the 90s. Most schools put CCTV in and watch everything that is done on the property, and administrators have very little limits of access controls in place to make sure nobody is creepily watching little timmy all the time.
I mean, it's kind of trivially preventable on the personal level:

* Eat mostly non-processed meats/proteins, low-starch vegetables, low-sugar fruits, and non-polyunsaturated cis fats

* Eat high-starch vegetables and high-sugar fruits sparingly

* Generally avoid most other foods

* Generally avoid harmful drugs such as nicotine and alcohol

* Incorporate some light physical activity into your daily routine (walking is an easy one)

* Ideally, lift every now and then

All of this should be within reach of most Americans. If someone accepts it as a viable strategy and commits to it, they can maintain or trend toward a healthy body composition.

Applying this on a societal level seems like a much bigger challenge to me. So much terrible nutritional advice is ingrained in the minds of the public (e.g. the food pyramid), so many terrible dietary choices are normalized and made convenient, and the whole "standard American diet" has so much economic momentum that convincing the public to change their lifestyles all at once might be a disaster in and of itself.

Imagine an alternate reality where the only soft drinks were La Croix and Zevia, McDonald's only served stir-fried meats and veggies with sides of berries, Dunkin' Donuts only served watermelon slices and coconuts, cereals and oatmeals were replaced with low-sugar trail mixes, etc. The obesity epidemic wouldn't exist.

In 2008 I adapted an ecommerce web app working only in IE6 to work on Firefox, it used plain XMLHttpRequest with XML api, no json. Parsing XML was a pain.
In 2012 I wrote a Bill Of Material web editor for fashion products, 8k lines of pure javascript, embedded in a monstrous legacy web application, still running. Or a datagrid that had to work with IE10 loading 10k rows with client side filtering because the client requested so.
Not enormous projects, but things have been complex for a long time, now they are often overengineered, I wouldn't touch FE dev env with a ten meter long pole. Things were much easier with JSF, especially for pure b2b stuff.

If I remember correctly, benchmarks of the ryzen 6800u (not quite this chip, but close) showed that the perf/watt sweet spot was probably _less_ than 15W. Even at 28W there were clear signs of diminishing returns, and anything north of 50W is largely pointless.

The intel competition in the form of alder lake scales for much longer if you just pump more juice into it. Scaling varies from chip to chip.

Edit - I might be misremembering, because 6900HS's sweet spot was at 20W: https://www.anandtech.com/show/17276/amd-ryzen-9-6900hs-remb... But anyhow, they also noted that "going from 50 W to 80 W is a 60% power increase for only +375 MHz and only +7.7% increased score in the benchmark".

But TL;DR: 15-28W probably really is the ideal range for a chip like this. Which won't stop ODMs from pushing well beyond that, of course.
That kind of seems like the difference between top-down and bottom-up standards. MS added a weird extension to IE to support their proprietary webmail app, and... actually it was great so people wanted it pulled in to every browser as a standard. Many other features from Netscape's blink to IE's scrolling marquee died natural deaths.

HTTP/2 was what? Something no one wanted, imposed by Google? Is that too strong?

Is bottom-up maybe better in practice?

> The RAM on these chips is integrating,

This statement is not even wrong, in the sense that it is nonsensical. If you intended to say that the RAM is integrated on chip, that is incorrect. Apple marketing made that statement early on, but teardowns very clearly show that the RAM is soldered on package, not on integrated on chip. This is still a leap forward in power from other common devices, but a much smaller one than integrating the RAM on the chip.

Furthermore, the RAM on M2 is bog-standard SK Hynix LPDDR5. 2x 32gbit chips for the 8GB model, 2x 64gbit for the 16GB model, and 2x 96gbit for the 24GB model. I can buy the exact same chips that are used in 16GB Macbook Air for ~$70 each, and I am not Apple.

If the SKUs had the same level of markup, the price difference between 8GB and 16GB would be less than $50.

Quantum safe crypto isn’t FUD, NIST’s steadfast refusal to specify a dual system, especially given their historical laundering of NSA back doors is super questionable, but there exist (at least one that I know of) crypto systems that have no exploitable bias. The problem is the impractically large key sizes. Afaict a lot of pqc work is trying to reduce the key sizes to something reasonable.

I know some people that work in industrial control (eg nuclear power plant control systems). Obviously their customers don't want to use a SaaS service hosted online. They've always had onsite servers with desktop applications. Even they're moving to web applications. Still hosted on site, but webapps served locally. The issue they had was hiring people who could (or wanted to) build desktop applications. Switching to modern web standards for their apps really eased their hiring.

Slap your brand all over everything. Distribute other weiner dog products along with your weiner dog slide.

If you couldn't find anywhere on the internet that weiner dog owners congregate (and you really made an effort), eventually after you do this every weiner dog owner will know about you either directly or through word of mouth.

Do you have any concrete example of what you perceive as being "crufty legacy"?
I work in the cloud consulting department at BigTech. We have the same structure. But we don’t have that problem. It’s up to us to be able to describe a project, create documentation and artifacts, seek customer feedback, etc and prepare a “promo document”. I approach each 1 on 1 like a miniature interview where I describe my projects in STAR format.

I solve problems by working with my project managers. But mostly, I can deal with the customer myself when it comes to tactical issues.

Reddit and friends. It's pretty sad, but it's the truth.

If there is breaking news I'm aware of, I might check a news site.
A lot of us who found ourselves working from home realized that while we were friendly with a lot of workmates, we weren't actually friends with them. We weren't close enough to them and that couldn't actually open up about our fears, our struggles, or our needs.

It led to us realizing that at an emotional level, we didn't have as many or possibly any one that we could truly call a friend - no one that would help you move, or visit you at the hospital, or watch your kids in an emergency.

In that realization, so many people decided to be more deliberate about who they made friends with and how to be vulnerable. This certainly plays into my decision to keep working from home. I have much healthier friendships, and a group of people who I can call true friends and who support me now. Looking back, it was pretty dumb of me to confuse that with work, but I'll cut myself some slack - I'm a much different person now.

One last point. If I had to guess, a lot of C-suite and VP-level folks who are calling for a return to the office probably made this same mistake, but have it a lot worse. Their inability to set personal-work boundaries on one hand led to their success, but also a realization that they may have no real friends and no time to make them. The incentives to conflate work-relationships with friendship have to be much more powerful at that level.

This is a really great idea, specially if you can write a transpiler from general C++ into modified C++ (it can error out on corner cases and ask for manual intervention, but trivial stuff like adding missing braces can and should be done by an automatic tool, like rustfix is used to migrate between Rust editions https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfix)

But here you didn't tackle the main thing: a plan to make simple business logic not corrupt memory and cause havok with UB! Dereferencing arbitrary pointers is a dangerous operation that shouldn't be done in everyday code. If I'm writing data structures I'm willing to think about UB, but if I'm choosing the color of a widget I'm less so. I'm not expecting you solve this hard problem, but at least a general direction or a half solution that works for a % of the cases would be cool (or at least state this is a long term goal).

And of course there's the comparison to Rust, but Rust is actually just a data point in this solution space and perhaps new languages can afford to try new approaches
The closest to the ideal signature?
You mention AIO in nginx.

In 2021 somebody submitted a patch for io_uring support in nginx:

https://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2021-Februar...

I'm not sure if there has been further progress on it so far. In one comment feedback is "it doesn't seem to make the typical nginx use case much faster" [at that time].

But I find this interesting, because io_uring can make almost all things async that can't be used async so far in Linux (open(), stat(), etc) and thus in nginx.

Would io_uring integration in nginx be relevant for you?

In all seriousness though I’m pretty sure one side in that conflict will intentionally bomb a plant and blame the other, both having the motive of revenge against Europe. Ukraine because nobody helped them and indeed the powers that be got out the popcorn, and Russia just because they’re crazy spiteful soviet shits like they always have been.

Not really...? Quantum stuff is real, there are real quantum computers that have been demonstrated to really do quantum operations. They're not close to being usable to break crypto yet, but it certainly makes sense to get ahead of it.

> There wouldn't be so much effort going into bridging air gapped systems if even traditional encryption could be trusted...

These are completely different problems. Encryption just keeps information confidential. By itself, it offers no _security_ guarantees. Even the strongest encryption would be moot against a keylogger. Crypto can be (and is being) used to provide some security, like via signed code, secure processors, and the such, but security is a multi-tiered thing -- you want all the protection you can get, and like keeping data encrypted at rest, air-gapping is just yet another layer of protection.

Random, unregulated... Now try and use this argument against regular bikes. They suffer from the same problem for the same reasons. Having a motor or not has nothing to do with it.
I think you're right. The answer that works nicely is: place the event in a queue and process the queue with retries idempotently. For robustness, you probably also want good logging and, if possible, an event store for things like replay.

Shameless plug: One of the use cases of our product at https://www.inngest.com is reliably handling webhooks.

We accept a JSON payload, can optionally transform it using ES6 on ingestion, then do a few things:

- Fully type (and typecheck) the payload

- Store the payload in an event store

- Run N functions triggered by the payload, backed by a full idempotent queue (eg. your function can forward the event to your own API, and retry on failure)

This lets you do a lot: you get reliability because we'll continue to retry your API endpoint if it fails. You also get local testing, replay, and historical retries for free because we store the payload. For example, you can `inngest run --replay` from the CLI to replay historic events from your webhooks.

It's complex to build, but good event-driven architectures help with this.

Disclaimer: I built inngest :)
