You seem exasperated, but it's not clear what point you're making. If you're saying that these utilities would be better off as libraries, what you get hosting them is language independence. With extremely light runtimes, the cost of RPCing to access some logic isn't that much greater than a library call. For things that aren't performance critical, the overhead might be fine.

So, what would be some of that plenty "plain" models with good quality and comparable price?
That's a fantastic metaphor.
Well, we have studios like Blumhouse that create low budget movies that do get a lot of press, have trailers, get plenty of promotion etc. They do well on an ROI basis. But they don’t top the box office.
For archival 24Mbps is an insane bitrate, you could get away with 1/3th to 1/6th of that.

You're also going to limit to public videos (unlisted and private will make up some share of those uploads) and probably to those with non-zero views.

I suspect archiving only videos with >100 views would probably cut the amount you archive to 1/10th.
If you're working on problems where TLA+ can help you, then you damn make sure you know your state invariants.
I am following their blog RSS feed and there were around 12 posts posted at the same time. Guess they just dumped all of the info with a cronjob?
Context: This is within one week of an election. It's a bit clearer in that context. If it says "vote for X" or "X is a horrible person/candidate/waste of matter", then it's political. Ditto if it says that about ballot initiative Y.

Within this context, if it says "the federal reserve eats frozen puppies", it's likely not political. Ditto if it says "embargo country X for reason Y".

It can still be grey. If candidate X runs on position Y, and an ad is about position Y without ever mentioning candidate X, it's probably still political.

But all in all, it's about the election, not politics in general, and so it's a lot more clear. Not perfectly clear, no, but it's more clear than politics in general.
I am very early on in my Japanese-learning journey. So if others contradict me, they are probably a better source. :)

But from what I understand Hirigana is used more for Japanese words, and Katakana more for loan words from other languages.

It actually leads to a nice shortcut for some words. If I’m reading Hirigana I’ll try to match that with words in Japanese that I know. However, if the word I’m looking at is Katakana, I’ll flip that off and start trying to match phonetically.

I assume with fluency this all becomes automatic, but I’m a ways off from that yet!
Try them both and see for yourself, see how generating 1000 images via SD feels vs 1000 images on Dall-E 2.

Can't wait for business schools to discover that concepts like "consumer loyalty" and "user experience" are quite intermingled.
I own this tv, and I had it connected to the internet for a short while. Not only does it have ads everywhere, but the menu is SLOW. Taking it off the internet not only got rid of the ads, but also made menu navigation faster.
Their pricing structure only makes sense for large corporations, it's extremely expensive. SignNow PandaDoc HelloSign etc have good offerings but lacking some features here and there.
Don’t forget that signing is primarily a legal activity. Every jurisdiction handle it differently, and it’s important to be able to articulate what your product can and can’t do.
This was particularly relevant during the dark days of COVID lockdowns and quarantined, where those laws and practices were tested to their limits.
They likely outsource a lot of that regional work, and do so on an ad hoc basis, but they still need knowledgeable people to coordinate it.
I feel the same way about most big corporations. Tech companies are not immune. I had a FB recruiter once brag to me about their Messenger team occupying a couple floors in Seattle and a couple floors in Menlo Park. Holy hell, what do you do on a project like Messenger with that many devs??
It says its not available in my country. Why the region lock?

> never, ever give a TV an internet connection, wifi password or dhcp lease.

The problem is that it’s becoming unavoidable. Right now the only oven with a good Consumer Reports rating requires a Wi-Fi connection, so it’s either get that model or another one with a significantly worse rating.
Yup, I worked for a company that moved everything from colo to AWS. Not only did the annual tech costs increase about 10x (even with all the AWS migration credit funny math), but they ended up with double the number of engineers to look after it.

Admittedly this was hopefully only going to apply for a few years until they finished rearchitecting everything, but I doubt it would ever reduce back down to anywhere near the original costs.

The equation is also mirrored for something that started and grew on AWS though - going to bare metal means building up tooling and processes you didn't have before. The transition will be expensive in either direction.
> * they’ve already been prosecuted for doing this with the current opaque salary system

My point is that it will now be easier to collude, as public postings can be scraped by anyone, so now collusion isn't done privately but through public signaling.
Because the vast majority of people aren't tech savvy enough to care about ads and tracking, ads and tracking everywhere is normalized.
What kind of programming do you do?
I ran IT for a company of about 50 employees and paying for DocuSign was a huge line item on our fixed overhead. It's way too expensive/unreasonable for smaller companies. They setup this pricing plan to sell to Honeywell or something and then expect everyone else to pay the same.
... plus they typically spy on you.

Like the TV will take a screenshot of what video you're watching via HDMI and upload that for content ID. Or it'll turn on the microphone to listen in on what you say.

Samsung calls that shit "Viewing Information Services". I guess because it informs their headquarters of what you are viewing.
> Conversely, it sucks to know that software you wrote is responsible for having killed even one person - to say nothing of doing so at scale.

But, how many people did your software improve the lives of?

This is the real problem with stuff like T1D automatic insulin control loops. You will likely kill some number of people through failure modes. However, how much better will the lives of those people whom you didn't kill be? T1D results in a lot of complications over time that, if they could be controlled, would result in a significant increase in quality of life for the survivors.

I actually had this discussion with a doctor who invented an asthma monitor for his daughter. It would automatically inform him and the school nurse as well as transmit the severity of event so the father could dispatch an ambulance immediately if it was really bad. I assure you it worked as well as it possibly could. However, nobody would touch turning it into a product because, at some point, the monitor was going to miss an event (bad detection, cellular system transmission failure, something) and some child was going to die and the liability was going to be enormous.

And that asthma monitor is a much easier case to discuss as it's all upside--the monitor failing doesn't kill anybody. Without the monitor, some number of children will die anyway. With the monitor, some number of those children will be saved.

Having this discussion about T1D is much more difficult.
I don’t think it really is a particularly math-specific concept. I mean, it is mathematical in the same way that “how many fingers am I holding up?” is mathematical, but it isn’t specific to any particular axiomatization of something, and is instead expressed in terms of general intuitive notions.

If I have a box, I might ask, “is there some number n such that there are fewer than n protons in this box?”. Well, really, the question would be phrased “are there finitely many protons in the box”, but I’m avoiding the word “finite” because you use the word “infinite” differently.

The question of “are there ‘un-split-able ones’ ?” goes way back, and is a question about the world, not about math considered abstractly. Aiui, it was considered philosophically. A question as to whether there is a limit to how much things can be split into smaller parts.

The question of “Does this thing have a limit of ‘how much’/‘how many’ ?“ is not a question which concerns only mathematicians, but which concerns anyone who seeks to understand the world.

Stability AI hit over a million users on their paid SD implementation, Dream Studio, in less than a month. I'd bet they recoup the training money.
And since SD is open you’re not limited to DreamStudio, there is a whole ecosystem of other webapps being developed like:

Plus integrations into other applications like Photoshop and Canva. Open source has such a huge multiplier effect for innovation.

Actually most software engineering jobs are about improving and maintaining existing, sometimes old, systems

If you feel not recognized, or too much pressure, maybe you just need to change company

I am exactly the same, I even took notes on that for my next interview

I am very good at debugging, improving systems. And helping people even though sometimes that does get me recognition. Maybe I don't fit, or maybe I should be promoted as manager, or team lead

When creating something new I just get too much indecision. Although I find out if I pair programming with a junior developer actually I think it I am OK

They were credibly accused, and only by virtue of being a reliable conservative judge, even if excessively emotional, was he confirmed.

The FBI got 4500 tips in the 80s, as well as multiple corroborating witnesses and chose not to investigate - presumably because of Kavanaugh's family and the 80s being even worse at investigating or prosecuting rape than they are today.

There are then more recent, similarly corroborated cases of sexual harassment by Kavanaugh which confirm the kind of person he is.

So yeah I'm biased, in the sense that I consider a bunch of judges that are clearly uninterested in the law if it ever runs counter to their personal beliefs to be fundamentally unfit to serve, and I consider a judge that supports an insurrection to be similarly unfit to serve.

Your piss poor attempt at an argument is more reflective of your own bias and unwillingness to consider anything other than your own - based on your comments in other threads - fairly sexist world view. I'm going to assume that you would be one of those jurors that would happily accept and defend the "she was clearly asking for it"/"she's a slut"/"why would she be drinking" rape defense.

I really hope that you're never put in an employment position giving you any power over women, and I sure as shit hope I never have to work with you - I already have enough shithead "conservative" coworkers w/o adding someone who is at the very least sexist.
OK, sure, but handwaving enough, that's true for almost every job that exists today.
Disclaimer - I work for Figma but had no part in the acquisition. My comments are my own and I don't represent Figma.

Technically I'm very curious to see how Penpot evolves with this investment, especially in regards to their choice to base everything on SVGs. IMO this will be their greatest superpower and also greatest weakness. Keeping things tied explicitly to code means exporting the final product is going to be near-perfect translation wise, but it will also mean they're tied explicitly to the browser's ability to render the combined html+svgs.

Currently Penpot's performance starts dropping rapidly once you approach around 1000 layers. Most robust design systems I see run around 10-40k layers (with the record I've seen being 250k). I'm very curious if they'll be able to optimize their approach to support those sizes of libraries.

It's good thing that the "safety measure" is the way it is - an afterthought. It means that those ideologues haven't yet had influence on the model itself.
I have no horse in this race other than being a Docusign enterprise HIPAA plan customer for my org of ~150 people, but: IME Docusign is absolutely at the tiptop of product quality, documentation, and service for any SAAS company I've ever used in the last 16 years. Whether that requires 0.74, 7.4, or 7.4 million employees is up to them.
Note that the current official documentation (which you cite), unlike Guido’s 2003 email (which you also cite), explicitly supports tuples as both heterogenous records and immutable homogenous sequences.
Some back-of-the-envelope math shows that YouTube would have to populate and rack a minimum of four 4U storage chassis (60 20TB drives each) per 8 hour shift to store that much. Roughly a little less than half a 42U rack. And that's before allowing for HDD drive parity, redundancy, and distribution across the globe.
This comment reminded me of a time long ago when I worked at a middle of the road startup with ~100MM in revenue, ~300 employees, and a margin of ~30-40%. On net the company lost money, and probably had a gross profit of ~200k per employee.

A particular principal engineer was prone to arguing that Engineers should be getting paid between half a million and a million per year. On the basis that our contributions were much greater than what we were paid. That Engineer is a CTO now.

Those who measure "knowledge" like a liquid quantity do not know what culture means, sorry for being harsh but that's is.

Books are VERY good, of course if well written, to share knowledge, not to improve someone profits, of course, topic specific. Of course they are a single package of something, they are not meant to be "games-books" or other things. So books are not universal for anything and anything. But they are the best way to transfer most of human knowledge in an asynchronous and distributed manner.

Audio books, videos might be superior for some cases, but a fairly limited set of cases. Song are also very valuable but for an even smaller set of cases. And no, knowledge can't be measured like a liquid to be drink, similarly we can't "give culture" like some modern schools stating targeting high culture peaks but really targeting formation of Ford model workers to be useful idiots in the classic Greek's sense state.

The postponement was practically inevitable. Manifest v3 is a slow moving train wreck. Extension developers know it isn't ready and won't be ready by January.

Happy holidays to me, I can kick this can down the road too.

Look at some of the known issues:

Userscript managers support

Estimated timeline: Canary support around October, 2022.

Service workers are not started in response to webRequest events

Estimated timeline: Targeting Canary support before October, 2022.

No way they were going to be ready to disable v2 in January for the stable channel.
haha, like developing tools that allow remote document signing...
I don’t think it is a joke, so much as misguided. I see a lot of focus on technical solutions, when the real problems are social. The big research question should not be “how can we build a ‘safe’ system” so much as “how should (or shouldn’t) we use these new tools and capabilities”?
> Copyright laws protect small creators too. I'm not sure how they could expect to make a living if their work could just be copied and sold or given away by anyone.

Blatantly false. The majority of these small creators are Twitch Streamers, Tik-tockers, Youtubers these days. All of them give their work away for free effectively.

In particular, the value in the Twitch-stream is from interacting with the chat realtime. Its effectively a live performance tied to a chatroom in some niche subject matter that the audience is interested in.

All of those can probably be released public-domain and free to copy, and they won't lose a single subscriber.

Others are paid primarily through their Patreon account or other forms of merchandise (dolls, plushies, etc. etc.). Or direct advertisements inside of the content (see Oversimplified and VPN). You can't "skip" the ad because the Ad is part of the video itself and worked into the script.
Somewhat related, ever since I upgraded from old Chromecast to Google TV I'm having issues simply casting from HBO Max or Netflix. First I need to cast once, it would turn on the TV and open the annoying Google TV "app browser". Then I'd have to stop casting and start casting again to actually enter the app I want. Maybe my stick has some hardware problems and/or I'm paranoid but things like these feel like they are just trying to get me to use the Google remote and their app so that they can show me ads and recommend other streaming services (of course Amazon Video is always the first app offered eveb though I never used it).
There was certainly some automation being done by the sysadmins I was familiar with (I did say "relatively little" in my original post, meaning compared to today!) It was definitely more pets than cattle at the places I was familiar with. These were small-ish companies, and the business didn't care as long as the systems worked.
You gotta get this unlimited growth somewhere. Remember HN comments tell you it's not a zero sum game, you can innovate!
Prison is social housing, but it’s mandatory rather than optional.

We could build all the social housing we want, but it will only house people who willingly move into it. Many homeless people are insane drug addicts, and they are the ones who disrupt society, and they will not willingly change. What would you do about that?

> Women oppose legalized sex work at higher rates than men, because they’d be the ones who would encounter social pressure to do sex work in tough economic circumstances if it became normalized.

There is a huge leap from "the majority of women oppose sex work" to "the majority of women oppose sex work BECAUSE if sex work was legal they would encounter social pressure to do sex work".

I have women in my life who oppose sex work decriminalization. Not a single one does because they worry they will encounter any social pressure to do sex work. Almost every single one does because they believe that coercion is very common, and the downsides to criminalization are minimal. And none of them have spent much time listening to actual sex workers talk about the effects of criminalization on their lives.

The women I know who are in favor of sex work decriminalization are very similar to the ones who oppose it but have spent more time listening to sex workers talk about the effects of criminalization. They understand that there is very little additional risk to someone who coerces another into sex work b/c of criminalization but far more additional risk to the sex worker.

When it was first announced, it wasn't clear it would end up being so esoteric, but I remember that Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and Rob Pike were working on it, and maybe Brian Kernighan too?

Timing-wise, it was too late for what they ended up doing, but anything all those people worked on is bound to have some interesting ideas.

For starters, you are a known troll account. Your very account name, vlang1dot0, was made to harass and troll. That is all that you do on HN.

I was referring to the GitHub releases, which very clearly state they are releases. Each of these Vlang GitHub weekly releases has a compare tag to show what has changed from previous releases.

This is a comparison of changes made between the latest release and the one of 4 weeks ago:
https://github.com/vlang/v/compare/weekly.2022.35...weekly.2....
That's 150 commits and 722 files changed. The releases are clearly different, with numerous changes. That's 1 month of changes, if we looked at 3 months, 6 months... We would see even more massive amounts of progression.

Now, back to the FUD you are pushing with your known troll account. The game you are trying to play is to obfuscate the clear as day lie that V is vaporware. Nobody is falling for it. And the more you keep engaging in trolling the V language, the more obvious it becomes to everyone else what you are doing and what your agenda is all about.
