> Musk is right though: What are they actually doing? It took them a decade or so to build an edit button despite having a head count of almost 8000

True that they didn't get anything done and that they suck (I mean personally I hate twitter and almost everything about).

But in fairness a statement like 'what did you get done this week' is what would I believe be called 'parental'. Similar to a parent complaining that a child is not cleaning up their room or 'playing games' (back prior to video games).

Must doesn't want to actually have a conversation and understand what is going on he just wants to display his power in a stupid way. With a put down as if there is even going to be an answer to 'in a week'.
That’s essentially all of his free time after subtracting time for sleep, work, commute times and taking care of basic needs like eating and hygiene.
So Lua is the new Tcl. A lightweight scripting language designed to be embedded in other programs. Then I went and looked at http://tcl.tk and it appears the current maintainers of Tcl forgot why it exists as well. ;-)

Everyone hated Tcl back in the day for similar reasons. Too lightweight, no serious language features, etc...

Maybe we should just use Scheme.

Unreasonable shareholder expectations of continued double-digit percentage YoY growth. Growth that exceeds internet usage growth in general.

The only way that happens is more ads displacing content, or appearing in formerly empty spots. I would guess at this point, they've hit the wall on alternatives like better targeting, placement, etc.

Disclaimer: I run Developer Relations for Lightrun.

There is another way to tackle the problem for most normal, back-end applications: Dynamic Logging[0].

Instead of adding a large of amount of logs during development (and then having to deal with compressing and transforming them later) one can instead choose to only add the logs required at runtime.

This is a workflow shift, and as such should be handled with care. But for the majority of logs used for troubleshooting, it's actually a saner approach: Don't make a priori assumptions about what you might need in production, then try and "massage" the right parts out of it when the problem rears its head.

Instead, when facing an issue, add logs where and when you need them to almost "surgically" only get the bits you want. This way, logging cost reduction happens naturally - because you're never writing many of the logs to begin with.

Note: we're not talking about removing logs needed for compliance, forensics or other regulatory reasons here, of course. We're talking about those logs that are used by developers to better understand what's going on inside the application: the "print this variable" or "show this user's state" or "show me which path the execution took" type logs, the ones you look at once and then forget about (while their costs piles on and on).

We call this workflow "Dynamic Logging", and have a fully-featured version of the product available for use at the website with up to 3 live instances.

On a personal - albeit obviously biased - note, I was an SRE before I joined the company, and saw an early demo of the product. I remember uttering a very verbal f-word during the demonstration, and thinking that I want me one of these nice little IDE thingies this company makes. It's a different way to think about logging - I'll give you that - but it makes a world of sense to me.

the problem is that not every one of these streaming devices supports all services, so you end up having a few of them. plus, the free LG channels that come with the TV are great. you get 24x7 channels of some good shows.

It is not possible with raster tiles, but the OSM database might still have the name in English.

Why? Why should the average EU citizen care what kind of stores are in Ukraine?

I very much do not want to sacrifice even the tiniest bit of quality of life because of whatever happens in Ukraine.

I still do not understand what is so special about that country compared to all the other countries in which terrible things are happening.
Why is it toxic? Throwing all your time into frivolous activity like video games is what I would say is toxic. This individual has been averaging 40 hours a week on this game since it was released.

In fact, building a valuable set of useful skills seems like the precise opposite of toxicity. Rather, it improves and adds value to your life.

This whole strand of consideration serves no purpose since nowadays if a hardware designer wanted specific voltages they'd use a buck/boost converter with the effect that any battery can output any voltage at any current up to its total safe power output limit, with losses so minimal that they are negligible.

I know this is the main question, but is it a derivative work? Does all the code I write need to be under the GPL because I once read some GPL code and learned from it?

It cant be. Json has a huge structural problem: it's an ASCII representation of a schema+value list, where the schema is repeated with each value. It improved on xml because it doesn't repeat the schema twice, at least...

It's nonsensical most of the time: do a table, transform values out of the db or in the consumer.

The reason postgres does it is because lazy developpers overused the json columns and then got fucked and say postgres is slow (talking from repeated experience here). Yeah searching in random unstructured blob is slow, surprise.

I dont dislike the idea to store json and structured data together but... you dont need performance then. Transferring a binary representation of a table and having a binary to object converter in your consumer (even chrome) is several orders of magnitudes faster than parsing strings, especially with json vomit of schema at every value.

What's incredibly exciting about USB power delivery is that it offers a glimpse at a future world with a common, unified electrical socket. If you go into a house, and there's a USB-C port on the wall, it can be used by anyone, anywhere in the world, for anything that charges through USB-C.

Sure, at the moment, the supported voltages are relatively small. But over time, they will increase, and more and more gadgets and appliances can be powered through USB-C, the utility (network effects!) will only increase.
Nobody is prescribing this lifestyle for you, so feel free to return the favor and let them live theirs.

I have a hard time seeing Twitter as anything but a communist make-work program & propaganda dissemination platform. The politics are obvious, and extend to other companies as well.
Content marketers in the digital marketing space commonly put blog posts through "spinners" that take your text and modify it through replacing words/phrases with similar equivalents. This lets you take one article and turning it into 5-10+ unique ones, even though they still discuss the same things. It would be a shame if a service like this was marketed towards those interested in privacy, it would probably break this entire system...

I have no doubt anyone north of Ted Kaczynski in operational capacity could blow up the pipeline, which certainly includes Poland.

I started with BASIC out of books and magazines on an Apple ][e when I was in 3rd grade. My mother was (still is, actually) a software engineer in the aerospace industry so I had a lot of help getting started.

Later, I moved on to Amos on the Amiga and then C (Turbo C on DOS at first) on the PC during middle school/high school. The web came along at some point during this and I started in on Perl and HTML.

Got a proper CS education at college :) and after graduating went into the Army for 4 years (this was back in 2002).

After that, got into the aerospace/defense industry doing C++ and Ada. Later, moved over to more IC-flavored work mostly in Java, with some Scala and Clojure mixed in.

These days, I'm out of government work doing Clojure all day in fintech.

Still learning to program. The meaningfulness of my work has varied over the years :)

I've tried to spin up various side projects (both open source and not) but have not been very successful at creating anything with staying power.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t complicated page mapping affect the cost of system calls the most? Because each call causes two alterations to the MMU state.

I wonder how this patch interacts with io_uring. If kernel call overhead keeps going up it will force people to find ways to avoid the overhead.

What is the difference between your product and Capacitor as a WebView wrapper (which supports most PhoneGap plugins) plus Ionic as a UI framework?

I’m trying to be positive here, but your post sends off an incredible odd vibe. You drop names of successful web companies and make it sound like you just invented "mobile apps based on WebViews", which is a thing since, well forever.

Also, you claim Ionic comes with a lot of boilerplate, which is simply not true. Ionic 6 is web-components only with zero overhead. You can use them in vanilla JS no problem.

I don’t see what this brings to the table.

I'm saying something different, that the most impressive examples of AI breakthroughs are doing things that humans find hard / are bad at. Meanwhile there are many things that people find easy / do without thinking / can be done by dogs or very young children that AI struggles with.

It suggests to me that what most current approaches are doing is something fairly different from what human / animal intelligence is doing in important ways. That means we will likely continue to see AI do increasingly amazing things while at the same time struggling to perform a lot of tasks that are quite basic for humans.

It is the fact that AI is proving to be a better artist than most humans while not being able to do many things that are simple for a 4 year old that suggests strongly to me that some of the fundamental mechanisms are fairly different still, or current AI approaches are missing some key insights.

I could be wrong. I'd bet money that I'm right if there was an easy way to do it though.
Did you click on the wrong reply link? I didn't say it was hypocritical for policies and norms to adapt to the realities of the situation. It was an observation without judgement.
I've been building a lots of what's hopefully "meaningful" software for over 10 years now, at startups (others startups, and now my own), for open-source (zegl/kube-score being my most popular OSS creation), and large enterprises.

I started to become interested in how computers where working when I was ~12, mainly driven by boredom. I didn't know how anything worked of course, but somehow was determined to create my own website, and struggled my way into HTML and free FTP/WWW hosting through various Swedish computer forums and guides. From there I added to my knowledge step by step, I learned CSS to make my sites less ugly, then PHP to be able to "log in", then SQL/MySQL to be able to create a "guestbook", and then some JavaScript, etc etc etc.

After a few years of spending all free time at the computer, I got my first job/internship when I was 14.

During my first 6 years or so as a "programmer", I don't think that I ever considered reading a book on any of the topics. I just went at it, and copy-pasted and brute-forced my way forward until things started to "click" in my head.

I very vividly remember a moment when I realised that I suddenly knew how to create a website that would look exactly the way I wanted, from scratch!

I was building things purely for fun, and started new projects seemingly every weekend. But I kept shipping, and somehow absorbed more and more knowledge.

These days I might read a book/paper/documentation to learn about a new topic, but brute-forcing/learning-by-doing is still my favourite way to learn.

I'm honestly very surprised Rockstar doesn't provide a way to migrate your story/online character between platforms. At least when I upgraded Xbox versions of GTAV, there was a process to save to Rockstar's servers and then re-load from them, and it worked like a charm. Migrating consoles/platforms is such a common thing to do -- so this is really a Rockstar problem, not a Google one.

(I mean purely financially it seems like a no-brainer -- it incentivizes people to buy a new copy of the game, and keep playing to keep those microtransactions rolling in...)

On the other hand, if this was a professional gamer, I'm truly confused as to why they sunk 6K hours into the Stadia version? Seems like they'd want to run it locally on an Xbox/PS/PC simply for performance -- and the guarantee that it couldn't be shut down. I always thought Stadia was meant for more casual gamers, and everybody knew Stadia always had the risk it might be shut down, so I really do wonder what this gamer was thinking...?
Just look at the public record:

1. Knowing Russia would invade Ukraine - Success

2. Knowing Iraq had no WMD - Fail

3. Correctly predicting Iranian Nuclear progress/ambitions - Repeated fails

4. Knowing the USSR would collapse - Fail

5. Sept 11th - Mega fail

Compare those items with candidates for success. For instance, the CIA failed to discover Sept 11th. Have they ever foiled, has anyone in the US who might work with the CIA every foiled such a large attack? No.

The same for other areas: Maybe the CIA predicted North Korea would have nukes when they did. That would give them a one in 3 (the others being Iran and Iraq) success rate at WMD intelligence.

Even with the "assume they got everything right that we don't KNOW they got wrong" level of credulity, they're not as good as flipping a coin...

I like this feature of python, but it's wise to remember that operations that we typically think of as O(1) are actually usually dependent on the length of the input, so allowing arbitrary length integers can cause issues (such as DOS opportunities) in places some people don't think to look. Specifically, Python recently changed the str -> int conversion logic to error on strings beyond a certain length (e.g. `int('1'*4301)` will error.) [1]

This problem is already leaking into the world of physical consoles. Afaik the only (legal) way to backup your savegame data on a Nintendo Switch is to transfer it directly to another Switch (and deleting it from the first) or get an online account (which was only available 1,5 years after the Switch launched). No saves can be stored on cartridges or the SD card. So if your Switch goes broken for some reason and you didn't want to pay for online backups every month your out of luck.

Buybacks have a lot of motivations. Execs trying to boost stock is certainly one. But shareholders do prefer buybacks. Claiming otherwise is just wrong. If a shareholder wants to get out of the equity and into bonds since rates are high they can cash out through the buyback.

They literally are. Buybacks are just as much shareholder distributions as dividends.

Why continue to choose user hostile hardware made by a manufacture who seeks to frustrate your precise desire to do this? Wouldn't it be much more logical to purchase from a manufacturer who doesn't care what you use on the hardware--or even better yet, actively supports you in getting the hardware to perform as well as possible with Linux? What is the point in continuing to chase after hardware which doesn't fully work in your chosen operating system with your preferred applications? Why pay full price for hardware that will never be fully supported and work to its full potential?
