The increase in valuation in my house far exceeds 7% annualized. Compared to index funds and other investments over the few years I've owned it's far outperformed any other "investment".

Obviously, this won't hold true for all time-frames, and I'm not even necessarily a fan of thinking of primary residences as investment vehicles, but if you're going to compare it for opportunity cost it's still not necessarily a home run comparison.
Oh Im pretty sure since the ipad pro launched or maybe the gen after, their scores in various benchmarks were getting scary close to the intel benchmarks. It mightve started maybe 30% off but with each generation the gap closed. It was increasingly clear that apples arm chips weren’t just toy chips limited to tablets and tech media talked about how it was only a matter of time before there would be an arm mac or a mac/ios convergence.

Whenever Tim Cook was asked, why pretty much up until maybe a few months before the apple silicon announcement, he said there weren’t any plans to switch the mac to arm.
So it's like creating a VPN connection and then connecting to your MQTT(/whatever) service?
Since private entities don't have to obey the 1st, I'd imagine not.
I think you're projecting your own Internet consumption preferences onto all of us.

Most of what I spend my time on on the web and YouTube is more towards educational than entertainment, though the line gets blurry (which is the point of having a unifying term like "content") when it comes to videos about music-making and stuff like that.
"Smaller" in this case just means smaller, not newer. They've been in business for a long time, and I expect them to be around for a while. The downsides tend to be in the opposite direction: they're old, and their webmail/account management interface until recently showed its age. This was not a problem in my book; I don't use webmail. The greater concern with mail providers involves the risk that they would pull something like what Gmail did and withdraw from offering standards-based email (i.e. no more IMAP). In that respect, what the sluggishness to get with the trends really means is a lower risk rate of churn, and I'm happy with that.

Your profile doesn't list a way to contact you privately.

As of last year, it's supposed to be one of the services listed on <https://www.fsf.org/resources/webmail-systems>, but it's not. I just reached out to Greg Farough to follow up on why.
It seems like managed pg improvements aren’t high up on the priority list (there’s a mention of outsourcing it to a third-party like supabase[1]), so I’d just like to +1 this request — for personal projects the snapshots are fine, but I’m starting a new role where I wanted to use fly but without easier backup/restore it’s likely a non-starter.

A small request: it would also be useful if `fly volumes snapshots list vol_123…` included the time they were taken, not just “n days ago”. If I’m having to rollback, it would be good to tell my team & users exactly when I’m rolling back to!

Cool preview, Satvik. Happy to help break it if you'd like a well-intentioned tester.
It's great for you. But some of us are using Linux in industrial applications. You can't really put an Apple laptop inside e.g. an MRI machine. It may run highly specialized software, needs specific acceleration hardware, etc.

It's going to be a very sad day when consumer electronics win over industrial applications.

As an occasional hobbyist user of Heroku’s free tier, what other providers do you recommend? Fly.io?

A bit more context if it matters, I use it very lightly, and I’m interested on ease of use and ability to have a DB attached to it (I was using PostgreSQL, but any SQL DB would do it).
There's no need to make up a new title (with three separate spelling mistakes). The actual article title is "To Dissect a Mockingbird:
A Graphical Notation for the Lambda Calculus with Animated Reduction" and the subtitle "A Graphical Notation for the Lambda Calculus with Animated Reduction" is clear and fits inside HN's length limit.

You may still be within the editing window to fix it.
How would a take-home compare to a hybrid format? For example, if you were given a 1-hour take-home followed by a live session asking about your thought process and

What's the actual savings if you now just have additional complexity that isn't really managed all that well when you use it as a turn key solution?
They will sometimes lethally inject the baby, but other times will not. I think injection is required in the US. If they do not inject the baby first it is considered a partial birth abortion.

Typically, they will flip the baby around and pull out everything except the head. They will cut open the neck/head area and suction all the brain material so they can crush the head and more easily extract it.

They typically (always?) have to dilate the cervix. I don't think they will do it through c section unless there is a medical reason.
Wouldn't they be double counted if you did that? Once for your fork, twice after merge?
I've worked on old IBM systems (old by today's standards, back then they were top of the line), the 4381 to be specific, it ran very fast (the IO capabilities of those systems was quite impressive for the time and even today such a system would, besides it size be quite ok) compared to all of the UNIX machines I had played with but it wasn't elegant in the way that UNIX was, just tons and tons of little details to remember, whereas with the UNIX survival guide (about 15 commands) you could normally get through the day until you started to do crazy stuff. The IBM gear cam with absolutely amazing documentation though.

"everything is a file" is brilliant, but UNIX didn't take that as far as it should have, Plan 9 is much further along that road and I would consider it to be even more elegant than UNIX.

The way in which things work is just like you would expect them to work, including being able to compose stuff (for instance: in Plan 9 to run a new version of the window manager in a window in the old one) is what I really like about that particular system.

Between Plan 9 and Erlang we missed a bus somewhere.

Do you mind revealing what island you live on, or at least the general region? I've always fantasized about living in a small town on an island.
So much this.

I'm american and have been living in Europe for almost 15 years, and it still shocks me how unbelievably poor american cities are, almost universally. The modern trend of "re-densifying" has really only ended up building out load of expensive yuppie bullshit housing that no one will live in past the age of 35, much less raise a family in.

I think it's safe to say that city planners in the US just don't really get it.
I agree it's very hard to do that when your code needs 90% of the CPU to keep up.

But lots of systems need less than 10% for the real-time code. Or less than 1%. In that case, it can be easy to convince yourself that straightforward incremental GCs can keep up.

Perhaps you'd argue those systems are over-provisioned, if their CPU is under 10% busy. But there may be good reasons to have extra speed, like supporting a management UI (running at non-RT priority). Or it may be a worthwhile tradeoff for reduced engineering effort. Gigaflop CPUs are like $50 these days, so if your realtime code only needs a megaflop you're likely to end up with very low CPU utilization.
I only pay $16 dollars for a web and a Postgres dynos, but I have a free redis connected to my production instance.

My staging environment, which I use very occasionally to double-check major changes, is all free dynos.

I know, I know... but they offered, and I took it. Now if I have to pay for Redis that will be $31 per month - so more expensive, for less functionality, unless I double it to $62.

Just seems meh to go from $16 to $62 and not get anything in return.
I think the current behavior is useful: if the repo owner decides to merge a PR manually (e.g., with the git command line), the PR ends up in a merged state as expected. Otherwise the owner has to do two actions: first on the command line, and then (to avoid duplicate merge commits) close (not merge!) on the web interface. Beyond the extra work, it's ugly because all the PRs in the repo are (incorrectly) marked as closed, not merged.

The issue seems to be that there is no provenance tracking. If a commit appears first in the contributed repo, and then makes its way into the base branch, I think that can reasonably be considered merged; if the contributed branch gets overwritten with commits already in the base branch, that is no longer a contribution at all and just the contributor resetting the branch (perhaps with malicious intent, or else through sheer ignorance).
> I have a suspicion that a big part of why top-comp software companies keep their interviews so incredibly unpleasant has more to do with discouraging job-hopping among them (so, suppressing wages) than with its being the best process for hiring good developers.

You have to wonder if this has backfired. ;) Plenty of people job-hop every 1-2 years, and it's pretty common knowledge which companies ask which level of LC difficulty for which level.
The problem is, similar with 4chan, 8chan and others, that being an asshole and literally bullying people to suicide is not illegal under US laws. The only thing that will lead to consequences on the Internet even in the US is anything relating to CSAM, drug and weapons trafficking, terrorism and evading US trade sanctions and financial regulations. Everything else, no matter how morally reprehensible or how illegal it is in every other civilized nation, is a free-for-all.

The problem is, trolls always escalate their behavior if left unchecked - the best example is actually 4chan. Eventually the most notorious user base moved over to 8chan/8kun, and then Christchurch happened. Or they hound people so aggressively that they see no other option to escape than killing themselves, because the police can't help when hundreds of peopple call in pizzas, delivery services or the police themselves. Hell even moving away doesn't help, some stalkers doxxed Keffals from the linen pattern of her hotel bed, others have doxxed people based off on reflections in their window.
>> Apple has at times contracted Samsung and TSMC for the same SoC

That was only once at 14nm(Samsung)/16nm(TSMC) as Apple outsourced US chip production in TX to Taiwan.

Qualcomm uses both TSMC and Samsung on rotational basis to this date.
I would never sign up for anything that's a recurring charge (including utilities and such) without using a virtual credit card. It makes any shenanigans the company might pull impossible.
Interesting, where I grew up both snow and trucks where significantly less common, but that meant infrastructure to deal with it was also more adhock.

Back then I would say around 1/3 to 1/4th of households in the area with large trucks had a snow plow, but I only knew one guy with a snowblower. Of course that also related to how long it took the state to deal with back roads after even a minor snow event.
Good news, Render is WAY better.
Mansplaining? Really?
Very interesting. I came to many similar conclusions completely independently, even attempted to build a typesafe in memory datalog in typescript.

I also came to the conclusion that just exposing datalog triples as a query language would never feel right and tried to expose a graphql like language that generated the datalog triples.

IMO react relay offers a great similar offering with their normalized cache. Relay has great DX too and can be totally type safe. To my knowledge datalog is way too dynamic for static analysis.

That being said, I would love to try Instant out. I'm really happy to see innovation in this area.
Apple even locked down the M1 and M2 machines so that user programs cannot normally produce object code and then jump to it. (IOW the compiler is active at runtime.) Lisp programmers who use Lisp compilers just call this behavior 'Lisp' but everybody else calls it 'JIT' because the only time it comes up in other languages is in interpreters that optimize at runtime.

Fortunately Apple carved out an exception for runtime object code on Apple silicon to allow optimizing interpreters to work, and they call it 'JIT.' Because of this loophole it's still possible to run Lisp compilers on MacOS on Apple silicon.

Apple never allowed the JIT loophole on IOS, which is why it's not possible to run a full Lisp compiler on IOS. You can run programs created with Lisp but you can't use any Lisp features that depend on the runtime compiler, so the language feels somewhat crippled.
There are a lot of companies that offer dedicated servers for under $50/m.
It should be noted that MyAnimeList--as many sites do--splits an anime up into its separate seasons, specials, and sometimes individual cours.

Which means, for example, Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin doesn't count as only one entry. It counts as at least 6 entries based on seasons/cours alone, and more if you count OVAs, specials, and recap movies.

I'd like to +1 for Northflank. I've been using it for a few months for smaller projects and experiments, and the dashboard and overall experience has been great. Free tier is good enough to run small apps, and pricing is very competitive.
Also got a lot of rapid email support from the Northflank staff when I ran into issues.
So it seems like the M2 is really an "M1+" or "M1X", whereas the M2 Pro/Max/Ultra are really the second-generation Apple Silicon.

That's fine, in my opinion. M1 is still an amazing chip, and if that product class (MacBook Air, entry iMac, etc.) gets even marginal yearly revisions, that's still better than life was on Intel.
We pay for all of our dynos so that doesn't concern me. I'm much more concerned with Redis going from $0 to $15 since 95% of our apps don't need the paid tier of redis.
The report you quoted and linked to is about the A15 and not the M2. The M2 is based on the A15 but from what I've seen it does use quite a bit more power (~30%?) than the M1 when loaded. Anandtech did not analyze the M2 yet as far as I can see.
Be careful though, IBM 4381 is an example of the mainframe world, so very much not similar to IBM i. It's s/370 compatible and ran OS/VS1 and VM/370.

In terms of abstraction, almost the opposite in some sense, as I've noted in my last paragraph. In terms of usage as well: IBM i's command line model I also mentioned helps a lot in using the system even without external documentation (more than the UNIX shell does), which seems to be the opposite in the mainframe world.

Spontaneously, my idea to protect against such a ligitation would be, put it in the contract that if the insurance rules that the client has no valid case, the client can take it up to a committee, for example the pool of all clients. And have it in the insurance contract that the decision of the committee is final. Obviously/hopefully it'd be in the interest of the other clients that their insurance payments won't being spent on the wrong type of cases.
It is not about what candidates prefer. If that was the case, there would be no whiteboards or any kind of exercises at all.

Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read it.

The point is to have your initial page load under 14kB to get the most utility out of the initial TCP window size. It doesn't say you need to have an entire site fit into 14kB.

With GZip compression you could easily get a 50-60kB HTML document under 14kB. In 50kB you can easily have OpenGraph metadata, links to alternate representations (RSS etc), link/script tags for external styles and scripts, some base level inline CSS, and some actual useful content. In your initial 14kB sent over the line you can tell the consumer everything they'll need to load the rest of the page's content.

If the content is a blog post or news article it would not take too much effort to fit all of the text content into 50-60kB and progressively enhance it with CSS and JavaScript with minimal content repaints. A few lines CSS in a style tag will give you perfectly readable text content and allow for images and such to load without repaints.

Even an image gallery can have a useful 14kB initial load with img tags containing a height and width and single line of CSS to give them some default background color or pattern before an image loads. Even if you want to do a bunch of stupid effects that can all be done with JavaScript loaded after the initial small TCP window loading.

The idea is to give a browser something useful in the brand new connection so it can start loading and rendering. If the first few packets contain a usable scaffold of a larger more involved page, even users with shitty connections can have something besides a blank page to look at. Done right they could have an actual useful page even if none of the extra content loads.
> can't really put an Apple laptop inside e.g. an MRI machine. It may run highly specialized software, needs specific acceleration hardware, etc.

This sounds more like a pitch for letting the MRI machine talk to the laptop than putting redundant chips in every device.
I never used the i series (formerly AS/400, and System/38 before that), but reading Inside the AS/400 by Frank G. Soltis made a huge impression on me. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the details.
I appreciate that you might not want to name-and-shame. I wonder if you could just scrub the identifying info and post them, though?

Personally I think it'd still be tremendously valuable to show clear examples of what "bad" looks like in your ranking system. Not only does it help you show off more of the hard work you did, but it also helps all your readers get a more complete understanding of your framework.

Beyond that, it's generally helpful -- in learning anything complex -- to see examples of "what not to do, and why."
What about satellite? What if the ping isn't time based but mileage based... what are the odds you drive 500-1000 miles without passing a cell-site? The car doesn't have to go completely dead either. It can go into a "limp mode" or just have features disabled.

Going back and forth with measures and counter-measures besmirches the point. Cars have to be serviced and this may be considered just another aspect of it.

I'm not suggesting that this sort of thing is necessarily a good thing(tm) but, it may be viewed as such by some and it's possible.

Isn't it the consumer's prerogative and responsibility to decide?

Not to mention, lawsuits and PR nightmares can be factored into a business case analysis. VW actually went ahead and defrauded the US government in diesel-gate and they're still an almost $100 billion company.

A man walks into a store, picks up a game, pays for it, and takes it home; he never agrees to a license or signs a contract.

He puts it in the game console, it starts up, and he plays it, and still hasn't agreed to any license or contract.

I'm not declaring that you're wrong, but I suspect these "publisher's wishlist" licenses and terms may not hold up in court in the event of someone violating those terms.

Just because someone writes something down doesn't make it true, and that describes a great many EULAs, too.

I spoke to a head of engineering yesterday who asked candidates pick from 3 options:

1. Bring some work that you did previously (>4 hrs) and we'll discuss it.

2. Complete a 1-hour take-home.

3. Complete the 1-hour take-home live with one of our engineers.

He said that 98% of candidates chose option #2. I was surprised at how high it was!
Personally I wouldn’t mind if trash/spam sites like Facebook/Twitter were omitted from the database. As well as non-English content, being as though I only speak English. Remove trash/spam/non-english from the db and the size of that 300TB will be cut down substantially to the point it is feasible for a single person to store. After all, even if somebody wanted to store the whole 300TB db would cost about $4000 in hard drives which is not as totally out-of-reach as some people here are making it seem.
Specialization leads to higher pay. Being a generalist will keep you locked to roles where a generalist is useful. I have a very high breadth of skills with everything you can imagine from Cisco to Exchange servers, but my expertise is resurrecting dead equipment. I have the rare intersection of software engineering, reverse engineering (to bypass serial numbers for long unsupported software), and electronics repair skills.

So, if you want a machine on which your business runs resurrected, regardless of parts availability, you will come to me and pay several thousand dollars.
There is no intent to shut Heroku down. Quite the opposite.
Yes, that's true it is a completely different beast from IBM i. By the way, I'm not sure if you have just used these remote or virtualized or in person but they are quite impressive from a hardware perspective and built incredibly solid compared to almost everything else that I've worked with including VAXen from that era. We had two of them (cold spare...) maxed out Group 2 models.

That's still 'only' 32 MB of RAM which may seem tiny by today's standards but that machine happily served a few hundred branch offices of a fairly major bank all by its lonesome, so that's 1000's of concurrent users (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CICS).
