The VMWare warranty I linked was an example of one explict warranty, it is not representative of what all software warranties look like.

Some warranties are implied, as well, and you won't find them written down anywhere.

Great write-up. Note that the author is only serving 70 requests per second at peak with 15 thousand registered users and 3 thousand in revenue per month. This just shows that you don't always have to plan to scale to thousands (or millions) of requests per second.

This blue-green deployment workflow reminds me of a similar setup used by the creator of SongRender[1], which I found about via the running in production podcast[2]. One thing to be aware of with smaller VPS providers like Linode, DO, and Vultr is that they charge per hour rather than per second. So if you boot up a new VM every time you deploy you're charged for a full hour each time.

This article and many of the commenters are talking about “cost plus” pricing strategy, is perhaps it is more like a comparative-plus-cost strategy.

Consider instead a “value” strategy, specifically you can price yourself high and see if you can get engagements. If not, lower your price until you can. Or start low and raise until you can’t get engagements. Either way you are letting the market set your rate.

The truth is there is a variety of factors that control your pricing power… marketing, supply/demand, availability, quality perception, risk, fire-ability, and so on.
I was about to post that, Wave Race.
The hardest part in exploring our solar system is escaping Earth's gravity. Most of the fuel in our rockets and by extension, most of the rocket itself, exists to lift the actual spacecraft off the Earth.

If you can manufacture it on the Moon, you need a lot less rocket.

Satellite. you can buy text bundles. Sure the kit would cost a little bit more, but nothing major.
#1 appears to have been a bug. That's certainly not the behavior right now.

Same with #2 apparently, because again, it happily opens links from other applications in Firefox for me.

Whether it is smart or not remains to be seen. AMD might step up and obliterate 40x0 in price/performance.
> Try to formally define this procedure, though. You end up going in circles.

The cos(x) + isin(x) formula gives us a way to find the point on the complex plane's unit circle corresponding to an angle x, given in radians. (Plus it does more, because the argument is complex valued.)

The new formula with ncos and nsin does the same thing for an angle given in turns. E.g 0.25 (90 degrees): -1^(0.5) = i. It's understandable in terms of roots of -1.

When you want to know the principal N-th root of number on the complex plane, you can simply divide its argument (i.e. angle) by N. The other roots are then equidistant points around the circle. So for instance, the square root of -1, which is sitting at 180 degrees, is found at 90 degrees, and is therefore i.

We can use -1 as the reference for measuring angles. The turns unit (one circle) is twice as far around the circle as as -1, so that's where we get the 2. Because 90 degrees in turns isn't 0.5, but 0.25.

We could use 1 directly, but then we need the first complex root of unity. For instance, here is the Wikimedia diagram of the fifth roots:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_of_unity#/media/File:One5...

That root which is close to i, has an angle which is exactly 1/5 turns. There is a relationship between turns and roots of unity, because N roots occupy N equidistanct points on the circle spaced by 1/N turns.
>> Storms have been given names since the early 19th century, so your "used to be" here is well beyond the threshold of living memory

My interpretation of the parent post is that it refers to the naming of every typical winter storm during a season, which was begun by the Weather Channel in 2012. I do in fact remember the debate at the time over that practice.

Wikipedia gives only two examples of winter storm names predating 1900, "The Great Snow of 1717" and "The Schoolhouse Blizzard" or "Children's Blizzard" of 1888.

That seems to be a different practice than winter storms Ajax, Bella, Cara, Delphi, Echo and Ferus of the 2021-2022 season.
I wonder if something like this already exists. This seems like a great business.

By great business I mean it seems like something people would say for. I don’t know if it would actually be valuable data to billboard owners though. But I can imagine a mega unicorn startup advertising IRL advertisement analytics and back-selling the data to tons of data brokers.
I think that won't work because all objects limited together have to use the same debug iterator level.

But you can go the other direction: start with release mode (make a separate build profile if you like) and turn on all debug features except debug iterators (and the debug CRT).
Masks aren't the concern so much as privacy. (Who the hell has even worn a mask in the past year and a half? I literally haven't worn one since mid 2021 - I don't even know where our masks are...)

This seems to me to be a hefty bill for the traffic received. I run devops on a site with 1.5-2mm unique users a month, bursty traffic, and our monthly bill is just a couple hundred higher than his. We are overprovisioned.

If a library is not updated in some capacity "recently" (coming from the Java land, "recent" is a different timescale than Javascript), then I have little confidence that a security issue can be resolved if discovered. Even if a library is complete, it may depend on libraries downstream that do have security issues that are no longer supported, which means it needs to swap to newer versions, etc.
A less eloquent but probably more helpful translation/phasing might be:

You have not truely mastered something until you've forgotten the step-by-step process of it (and presumably had to reconstruct it by doing it and paying attention to how you do so).

(This is also why it can be hard to teach something you're very good at - often, you literally don't know (well, remember) "how to do it" in a form that's actually useful to them.)
If Russia remains economically isolated after Putin is ousted, wouldn't that worsen the odds of positive political reform in Russia? Economic sanctions are the stick, but if they continue even after Putin is gone, where is the carrot? If the new leader proves themselves bad as well, the sanctions should obviously be resumed.

Everything from just one hill past where the townsfolk regularly travel was of the unknown. It was known that something strange could be living out there -- because there were strange things living out there. There was history of weird things happening to people who ventured too far away from the familiar. What we might perceive as expected (OMG a giant white bear!!!) can be very unfamiliar to those who didn't grow up with an ABC book of animals.

But really, read the first couple of pages and tell me that it's horror. It's a hero story, and it's not horror -- he's just up against a good villain. It's more of a western -- drifter pulls into town on his horse, gets deputized to take down the out of town rancher demonizing the good people of the town.
About open source lib not being updated :

The thing is, even if the lib is "feature complete", it's pretty rare to not have to update anything, since the ecosystem in which this lib evolves will undoubtely have changed. Programming language, hardware, OS, etc. everything evolves all the time.
Yes, I try to use a third-party service. But here's where I made another mistake - using authorization through Apple - that created a huge problem on several occasions, because it's impossible to authorize in the app at all.
Thanks for the heads-up.

I've been using Shortcat for years, and I thought it was long since abandoned. I was even more surprised to see a new version was released last month. I seriously stopped checking on this project years ago, and just kept a backup .dmg.

I am sad to read about sending out info to Sentry, but I guess that is something I am going to have to think about some more.
California has implemented a plan to name heat-waves. After the last few years on the Western side of North America, maybe not a bad thing.

Author here, happy to answer any questions! I know it’s a complicated topic, and I’m still trying to figure out how best to explain it.

Perhaps the solution is a monthly "NOOP" release?
My point is, all software warranties tend to be weasel words that don't amount to that much, as far as risk management is concerned. They especially don't usually obligate the seller to fixing anything, at most they undo the purchase.
Quite weird to compare infrastructure of a static frontend to a backend with db and stuff?

About what specifically
Your analysis is incorrect. Markup is a function of market power. If market power remains the same, an increase in markup cannot last for long. Competition will drive prices down until markup goes back to its previous level. Therefore the end result is a fall in the price of exports. Whereas for importers the opposite is true, imports become more expensive for local purchasers. This is what is meant by "selling cheap and buying expensive", which is exactly what happens when a currency depreciates.
Compared to dropping the value of the pound while allowing hedge funds to insider trade against it? The only people doing better out of Brexit are a small number of disaster capitalists. It's ridiculous how people will let the guy from Eton present himself as "not elite".
I think that example is too simple to show the benefit of shuffle. It's like explaining the benefit of an adder by showing how you can move a value with X = Y + 0. Especially since there's also a (much simpler) piece of hardware dedicated to ultra-fast splat/broadcast (under the right conditions).

> This is the reason why we were able to easily cope with 2M+ requests in less than 24h

I thought this was referring to 2M+ requests per second over a ramp period of 24h, not 2M requests per 24h?
Yep. If you're hustling and pretty good at sales, a 60-70% utilization would be a good year. So, right off the bat, you can see you need to be making a lot more money per billable day than you would with an FTE salary: at 50% utilization, you need more than 2x just to be in the black (after tax and benefits overhead).
Unwinding of global supply chains in order to reduce risk has been fantastic for the middle class.

Usually the trust boundary is outside the unikernel (eg. it's running in a VM) so changing the page tables doesn't matter. In fact it can be an advantage - for example it can be used to make more efficient garbage collectors.

The biggest issue with Rust is its lack of mature UI frameworks. While several are being developed, they all have major shortcomings of one type or another, and if you want a more traditional "boring" retain-mode cross platform framework your options are even more limited.

And as alluded to in my post, Rust isn't particularly pleasant to use for a UI use case anyway.

Of course there is no cross-platform UI framework for Swift either, but if such a thing were to come into existence I think it'd quickly come to enjoy decent popularity for desktop application development.
So much of the government relies on staffers discreetly working around the kafkaesque bureaucracy, and everyone involved turning a blind eye and respecting their need for discretion.
I think this is under-selling the value of something like Safari. I'm on Hacker News, not just a general population rando, and I still care more about usability than most ideological concepts. I don't like Chrome and would stay away from Edge for many reasons if it were even a viable option on MacOS, but I'm still not switching. Since Safari doesn't have "heavy telemetry" or "tracking," I assume the "completely out-of-the-loop user experience" was aimed at it, but I haven't found that to be the case either.

If one cares more about OSS than UXP, then by all means, go full-Stallman. I just don't think there are very many people who care that much, which is why Chrome is as popular as it is.
Note that you don't even have to std::move a return value in almost all cases. (The very much non-language-lawyer explanation is that local variables are automatically moved from when you return them.)
You can talk about wages in real terms in order to see what their impact is on the actual buying power of the average worker.

But if you're trying specifically to discuss and talk about the wage component of inflation it is nonsense to talk about that in real terms. Adjusting to eliminate the effect of inflation on wages is not the way to measure wage inflation. It should be intuitively obvious that is nonsense.
Tradition and common sense are so fundamental that you're really going to have a hard time with this statement, and what does "wrong" mean exactly?

Brushing your teeth 2x a day is a tradition and common sense. You do it not because you've studied the literature and know for sure it's the most optimal way to maintain dental health, but because you we're taught to do it that way, it seems to work well enough, and everyone else does it too.

Does that make it wrong? Does that mean the vast majority of your daily life, as riddled with tradition and common sense as it is, is wrong? I don't think so.
Won't it increase the odds of positive political reform in Europe and elsewhere, if they have energy independence rather than being beholden to dictatorial petrostates? It seems like a worthwhile goal even outside of the environmental benefits.

> Your entire argument boils down to the idea that musicians shouldn't own distribution rights to their work and that sass software licenses should be free.

Not really. It's about copying not being the same, in benefits and drawbacks, as stealing. If you want to engage in good faith debate, you should acknowledge the difference.

Copying datas/ideas is easy, beneficial to many and not at all clear to always be harmful to society.
> It's unlikely running it on K8S (which is itself going to run on underpowered VMs with networked storage) is going to help.

On GCP, at least, you can provision a GKE node-pool where the nodes have direct-attached NVMe storage; deploy a privileged container that formats and RAID0s up the drives; and then make use of the resulting scratch filesystem via host-mounts.
I'm sure everyone's mileage will vary based on experience / comfort with the particular stack here... but in my experience shipping a monolith (Python, Ruby, whatever) to a VPS is vastly simpler than a comparable Next/Vercel setup, especially for a CRUD app as the OP is talking about.

Dealing with the details of things like SSR vs client side, Apollo caching (cuz w/ Next you are _probably gonna go w/ GQL, and so you probably use Apollo), and monitoring/observability in the Next/Vercel world is hard. You don't have these problems with a simple monolith, and you can sprinkle in your front end magic with whatever lean JS approach you want as you need it.

And to be fair Vercel has some logging and datadog integration, but it is very limited compared to what you can get and can configure as-needed with real agent based monitoring.

I'm increasingly feeling like the 'benefits' of server-side rendering in all its flavors for the big JS frameworks are just a boondoggle and not worth the complexity and cost for _most_ apps, even ones where the cost of an SPA are worth it.
2nd page of the paper has a decent description with data and a visual diagram of the process, it's worth checking out.

Interestingly enough, most employees can also be terminated at any time. At least in the US, as far as I know.

To my knowledge there is no special legal protection for full time (or "direct hire") employees versus contract to hire employees. They are both just W-2 employees.

Building a Video-Driven Social App with Flutter

Your comment, I understand. I still don't think GP's comment makes any sense.

Clearly some words must be missing.
Short answer: Yes

Long answer : people with better physical appearance are generally more successful, leaving all other conditions similar.

Bottomline: part of career growth planning should focus on improving physical appearance. Join gym, eat right, get timely haircut etc.
As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, with turn-based rotation units, this relationship can be simplified to avoid transcendental numbers entirely:

Depends on the queries. Point queries that take 1ms each? Sure. Analytical queries that take 1000ms+ each? Not so much.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm Josh's co-founder Ravi.

There are several open source React libraries out there for tables, chart components, etc that I'd encourage checking out. But the key other thing that Airplane gives you, above and beyond a component library, is a deep integration with Airplane tasks (Lambda-like functions) that Josh mentioned above. So you can create a Table component where the data is populated by the results of running one of these functions, or a Button that triggers execution of these, etc. It would be hard to provide an OSS version of tasks since a big part of the value is the hosting/execution/etc, and Views primarily makes sense as integrated with that.

At a high level, the purpose of all of this is to save developer time. An admin panel that takes days or weeks to create ideally can be built in hours using Airplane. Using a high-quality component library can speed up that process, but the additional primitives that Airplane provides out of the box ideally should speed it up significantly more.

From a pricing perspective our Free tier is pretty generous and there are several startups using Airplane for free.

Appreciate you taking a look and sharing your thoughts!
Eh, this is Apple you’re talking about. They don’t know what backwards compatibility means, and your app might randomly break on the newest version of iOS. Or it might be slightly ugly around the Dynamic Island™ and Apple users would hate that.
I think you're confusing "representation" to mean just the number of bits allocated to the number, but the article and my comments also use it to mean what the numeric range of those values represents (hence "representation").

How that's modeled in the static type system is completely orthogonal to the underlying arithmetic operations that are performed and their efficiency. The article is entirely about the latter.
