This bizarre mismatch still happens in some companies, post-desktop, and the impact can be worse than everyone merely being less-productive.

It can also be a symptom of other organizational dysfunction.

For tech companies, especially startups, it's something we should consider before joining: how does the company determine the tools/infrastructure that engineering and production use, and what are the current determinations?
I recently went through a car buying process and it was extremely brutal. You signup paying for Doc fee ($600), even gas, other hidden fees, and outrageous charges. Another issue I noticed was you are forced into buying overprized accessories like first aid kit ($150), car mats and even cargo nets. After all this we ended up buying from craigslist as to my surprise some of these charges cannot be even waved, you don't stand a chance as people are willing to pay for these things and dealership just move to next customer.
The GFS paper 1. showed that software can overcome faults in the hardware and 2. formed the storage basis for Google MapReduce.

From there, Apache Hadoop, the open source clone by the Nutch team took off, which in turn led to Zacharia's Spark (now Apache Spark), which provided the RDD abstraction to remove the batch-only limitations of Hadoop, thus enabling distributed iterative and graph methods at scale.

this is also something that's oddly absent from the self-driving debates. Mass deployment of the same models or apis in automated systems is very brittle because it means errors are highly correlated. it's like a form of central planning.

individual drivers or individual taxi firms in a market due to their decentralization are much more robust to any kind of individual failure.

People often ask "is the car smarter than the driver?" but the correct question would be if the car, or system is more diverse than the aggregate knowledge of all the participants.

Every one I know hates car dealerships. Yet 90% of them refuse to buy a used car from a private party.

While it's true they have a lobby and have twisted the arms of legislators, it's also true that people prefer buying from them. And when they don't buy from them, they buy from CarMax which, for used cars, is even worse than buying from a dealer (pre-pandemic).

What keeps people from buying from private parties?

Unwillingness to plan and save money (i.e. refuse to buy car without financing). Even for under $10K

Being scared of getting a lemon because they lack knowledge about cars. I too lack that knowledge, which is why I get a trusted mechanic to check out any car I buy. Hasn't failed me in 20 years. Used car warranties are useless - they don't last long. And the last time I went car shopping, every used car from the dealer that seemed like a good price had serious problems when I took it to the mechanic. Never get a used car from a dealer if they don't let you take it to a mechanic.

Quicker process: It may take a while finding a good used car via Private Party. OTOH, there are plenty of dealers one can walk into. However, once you find a car you like, the process is much smoother with private party. You either agree on a price or you don't. No hidden fees. You know exactly what you're getting.

Edit: I just want to be clear: I'm not trying to convince anyone to buy private party. If you're happy with avoiding the "hassle", that's fine. My point is that for all the complaints about dealers, the reality is people prefer them.
Disclaimer; I run a popular youtube channel educating consumers on car buying.

Greg did a good job documenting the challenges of buying a car in today's market. Fortunately, we are starting to see a softening in consumer demand which has led to used car prices to begin to drop in some areas and for certain types of vehicles.

We expect that as automakers increase production we'll go away from markups. The timeline for that is tricky since Asian brands (Toyota and Honda especially) are struggling MUCH more than American automakers. MSRPs are rising fast too, so while dealer markups may disappear as demand weakens and supply increases, don't be surprised if you see MSRPs that are 5-10% higher year over year.

Wait times right now for hybrid vehicles are over a year. The push to PHEV and BEV will continue to be delayed due to ridiculous prices. The average transaction price for a new EV last month was north of $66,000. Not affordable.

Great insights in Greg's article. I wish we could have helped him before he embarked on the journey.

Unfortunately, I also have had a rather bad sugar and non excercise problem, and didn't start taking choline till recently.

for me it's the archaic 'sales practices' they go through. The bait and switching in advertising, the us vs them dynamic they try to create with the sale managers, finalizing a price with sales and then having finance try to wring more out of you, or saying the price isn't possible unless x y z. I'll never go through that again.

>[0] For the record, this is exactly the same thing Apple did. They bought a chip design firm and a CPU core design firm and had them build ARM cores and SoCs.

That was P.A.Semi, their great chip was PWRficcient (PowerPC ISA). Ironically, most of these people (who were involved in M1) are in Rivos now, a RISC-V startup.

Now, the expectation is for Qualcomm to have the engineers from Nuvia (which did ARM cores) make RISC-V cores.

That’s how it used to work (and still does for some less in demand/in short supply models), but if you’re after something that’s even moderately popular (most SUVs and EVs), you’ll hardly see any replies nowadays. That was the case when trying to get my wife a new crossover recently. We ended up placing an order in person with a dealer that “only” charged MSRP without a bunch of crazy add-ons, albeit with an additional dealer fee (pure profit) of $800. But when the car showed up 3 months later it was missing power seats due to a supply shortage. We walked from the deal and are now shopping again. Fun times.
You understand the point. It's a real point. Show me a modern relational database that can scale this predictably on the cloud with this level operability.
Maybe. America in the late 20s seems like a much more intolerant place than late 20s Germany. E.g. Lynching doesn’t seem to have been anywhere near as prevalent in Germany as it was in the US.

Would you consider America in that period to be an intolerant state?
Well you just bought from a dealership, and what's more is that dealership was under no real obligation to sell to you. They could have accepted the car from Mazda and sold it to someone else.

The issue this article really looks into is that we invited government into auto sales for some reason who required dealerships (among other things) be mandatory and independent, so when Ford released the Bronco or Maverick and they turned out to be popular, Ford might say "this Maverick is worth 25k" and then the dealership would mark it up to 40k and there was nothing the buyer could do about it, even if you ordered from Ford. Dealerships would accept your vehicle, say you need to pay an additional 10k, and if you don't they won't let you leave with the car
I'm at a loss find where "white patriarchy" is blamed for anything in that article. "White" turns up one match that has nothing to do with finding blame for today's problems, and "patriarch*" turns up nothing.

There is mention that population control has traditionally been associated with white supremacy, but it would be a stretch, IMO, to turn that to blame for "today's problems".
I feel like the practice is that they bank on not enough people using it, then either take it away entirely if too many people do, or stop individuals they feel are abusing it (in the US, anyway)

> all of these concepts become much easier working with "offset from an array" rather than a pointer directly

This reminds me of this article [1] that summarizes very nicely several data structures that represent sparse tensors. I highly recommend it if you need to work with data in two dimensions (like a list of vectors) or more.

In particular, the Compressed Sparse Fiber is a kind of generalization of the "offset from an array" approach, in several dimensions. That can be handy when working with data in 3D for example.

I think a muscle tiring out is a halfway decent metaphor for this. It would literally being ion concentrations, neurotransmitter vesicles, etc. that need to “recharge”. I’ve got some undergrad neuroscience research under my belt, but no real qualifications for the statements. Notice the synchronization is stronger for the second game. That would be short term synaptic neuroplasticity (and where the muscle metaphor ends).

Wow. I recently read H.G. Well's "The World Set Free", which covers similar issues, but is about 100 years ahead of the book on every topic mentioned in the review (including gender identity).

Just like mortgage brokers are obligated to send you an official, standardized "loan estimate" when you ask about a mortgage, dealership should have something similar with cars.

Specifically: the car is only the first part, then there's extra warranties from dealership, financing, etc.

A standardized quote that gives you the price of these optional items would go a long way in making the experience smooth.

Private companies can solve the issues themselves (Carvana), but that's coming at a significant $ premium so far.

The FTC rule mentioned in the article mentions this:

> Require full upfront disclosure of costs and conditions: The proposal would require dealers to make key disclosures to consumers, including providing a true “offering price” for a vehicle that would be full price a consumer would pay, excluding only taxes and government fees. It would also require dealers to make disclosures about optional add-on fees, including their price and the fact that they are not required as a condition of purchasing or leasing the vehicle, along with disclosures to consumers with key information about financing terms.
It sounds like you don’t purchase cars much if you think the price difference is only a few hundred dollars.

I went to look for a car recently and, ignoring the Covid shortage fee increase, they added a mandatory $1200 for some bs paint protection and an additional $1400 for some gps anti-theft that would, “pay for itself with insurance savings” (lol).

That’s an additional $2600 on every car ignoring all the other bs they try to sneak in.

Here’s something fun: go look up the reviews for all dealerships nearby and read for yourself how many talk about price bait-and-switches, mandatory fees, etc.
Yes, no hyperscript, and yes, all interactive actions do a roundtrip.

I tried not to get too detailed with the updates, so e.g. when you are in the filter builder dialog, and change the value of a select (and now the other selects have to change their data accordingly), the whole dialog is fetched again from server, instead of just the other selects. I felt that, while more selectively updating the UI would be more performant (htmx has to switch out less elements and the request payload is smaller), I don't want to cluster up my server with lots of small endpoints that return bits of HTML. All in all it was like 10 new endpoints returning HTML for that site, which was okay in my book. Could probably have been less if I had been more clever.

What I learned was to really pay more attention to make my HTML "leaner" than normal, because I noticed that if I don't pay attention to that, payloads can get big quite faster than when using JSON.
I take the video with a grain of salt of course but just to be fair here, the video spends the majority of its time explaining in great detail why Linus did NOT just slap his name on a megapro screwdriver. I actually found the minute details of how they designed, prototyped, and stressed over the screwdriver quite fascinating and while it may or may not translate to quality... it at least is a weak signal to me that someone considered every facet which I believe is somewhat correlated with quality.
I had a wild experience on Carvana. Bought the car (used, with 14k miles), they were going to ship it to my local Carvana pickup and the day before I get a message to effect of, "Hey we just tried to start your car and it's not starting so we don't recommend you buy this car" . All fees refunded, I was confused but grateful, no one followed up to try and get me to buy another car (other than garden variety email list marketing). Ended up buying a friend of a friends old car for way less two weeks later.

The Expensify test was targeted at demonstrating the upper limits of SQLite itself. The hardware used:
> 1TB of DDR4 RAM
> 3TB of NVME SSD storage
> 192 physical 2.7GHz cores (384 with hyperthreading)

And a very simple read-only query w/o overlapping rows, with the full dataset already loaded in memory:
> The query itself just sums a range of 10 rows randomly located inside 10B row (447GB) two column database of random integers, one of which is indexed and the other not. This means that the test is fully cached in RAM, and the database is precached prior to the test. No writes are done during this test, only reads.

All that is good and fine for that purpose -- to demonstrate the limits of what SQLite can do in scaling UP.

The purpose of the PlanetScale post was demonstrating linear scalability by scaling OUT using a realistic workload (TPC-C is a warehouse / ecommerce site simulation) on small commodity VMs (ec2 isntances).

As noted, you're comparing two very different tests that had very different goals.
