I think that is a very reasonable position to hold. It would only be the rejection of plausible cases, on the basis of no actual case having been uncovered, that I would take issue with. When assessing the downside of a proposal, there should not be much, if any, difference between how highly plausible and certain consequences are assessed.

If we could prove there would be no downside, then plausible problems could be ignored as merely hypothetical, and there would be no need to posit offsetting benefits. The question the GNU grep developers might want to consider is whether the supposed upside will have sufficient material consequences for their purposes.
Simultaneously working three jobs in software was the dumbest choice I ever made. I was trying to earn as much as a Prima Dona I knew working at Google who I was mad at. Eventually I got wise realized the world is ending and I’d rather spend these last days doing what I loved than earning as many useless dollars as I could.
> Seems like there should have been a short explanation of why they didn't use it.

They don't own you anything, specially when they use it already in their products and just recently announced a new product with it [1], so you are just using FUD at this point

They mention: "Our team in Google Research"

They have multiple R&D teams so and they are working multiple projects

It seems to imply that the work on radar long predated using microwaves for telecom, which doesn't sound right. There was a telecom microwave link across the English channel from Dover to Calais in 1931. I suppose the use in radar might have brought some technical improvements or lower costs that made it more practical.
What I’d like to have: A setting that says I prefer reduced motion. Not "none" motion. Reduced.

Recently, I saw some UI component framework with a sortable list. For anyone else, it moved the element from the old to the new position. For me, it just switched them out, which makes for far worse UX in that case.

If for some people any motion is bad, then give them a property, or even better, as someone else said, make the browser disable all animations (I do that for gif, webp etc. with a browser extension)

All I want is for sites to not waste my time with animations or make things harder to read with those dumb parallax effects (thankfully that fad did not last long). That’s why I have "prefers reduced motion".

I guess it’s a badly named property if everyone treats it like "prefers no motion".
It's mindless in that it doesn't actually point out any specific obstacle. It's just "it hasn't been done yet", as if that means that it can't be done. This is especially annoying when large numbers of people have been looking at the issue and have concluded that there is no such obstacle that would prevent it from scaling out.

And no, the technologies do exist. There is nothing new that has to be invented. They need to be run down their experience curves, but aside from that maturation everything is there.
"in context", what does this mean?

Omnisearch plugin developer here.

> I use Obsidian but never cared about neither the mapping/backlinks, logging, etc.

This is exactly why I built the plugin :) It's not that I don't care about tags/links/etc., but every time I tried to use those tools, it was a write-only process. I'll never remember how a note is tagged, or in what folder I "smartly" put it in.

People consider search as a clutch for a lack of organization, but more often than not, these same people spend all their time refining their workflow, try new methods with fancy names, and treat organization as a goal in itself. _That_ I don't care about, I just want to write notes like post-its on a desk, and quickly find them when I need them.
I caught that too. Had no idea that was ever a thing.
No.

Applications are not functions.

How many applications that you use on a daily basis work as follows:

1. You prepare some parameters

2. You start the application with those parameters.

3. The application goes away and thinks for a bit.

4. The application returns with a result and then exits.

Trying to make actual applications and system fit into the function (or procedure) mold is, IMHO, one of the biggest obstacles to software simplicity, as there is a fundamental architectural mismatch here.

In the early days of computing, a lot of programs actually did work this way, which is why DSLs for algorithms (ALGOL) were appropriate, and probably where the idea originated that they are actually general purpose languages. Which they are not.
I’ll soon discover whether doing this is a good idea or not. Will it encourage good practices or hinder them?

Remember that you don’t have to generate both your server and client APIs from the schema (schema first). Many API servers (I’m particularly aware of OpenAPI and Sanic from Python land) allow you to export the OpenAPI definition from your existing API (code first).

I did this on my Android as well, intentionally. My Galaxy S20 defaults to an animation speed that is just so horribly slow, everything feels sluggish. It also uses more battery.

I, too, was a bit confused at the frozen arrow in the beginning, until I realized it was just the loading indicator used when animations are disabled (they could probably improve that one). It is the one place where some sort of movement might still be appropriate.

Anyway, I recently disabled this feature due to it breaking the scroll behaviour in Play Store. Ironically the only app (I've noticed) that uses animation for scrolling in a way that makes this accessibility feature break it, making it a very jarring experience.

Instead, I went into developer tools and scaled all animations down to 0.5x. This at least makes all the annoying transitions bearable. I think this setting should also be exposed under accessibility settings.

Different languages also have their own culture and ecosystem, which are also valuable to learn in order to get a different perspective.

Some things that are taken as best practices are bad practices in other langauges and vice versa.

For example, lots of Java devs are against early and multiple returns to the point of absurdity, while in functional languages this is idiomatic and no problem at all.

Using different languages lets you see how different approaches work out in practice, so you can get a better view about which approaches work and which approaches are just cargo-cult nonsense.

> Everyone in the industry knows that Tesla is nowhere near the tip of the technology. What Tesla does is _fantastic marketing_.

Between one and two years ago, that was my perception too. But the rapid progress I've seen with Tesla FSD Beta over the past couple of years, and over the last year in particular, has forced me to change my mind. (Note: I'm talking only about Tesla's beta software. Tesla's production software is behind by dozens of versions and is without a doubt technologically inferior to Waymo and Cruise.)

Less than two years ago, I would have said FSD Beta could only deal with the "first 95%" too. Now, my perception is that FSD Beta routinely handles the first > 99% and fails only on < 1% of situations. Moreover, the failures have become more graceful -- e.g., the car will stop at intersections perceived as risky and ask the driver to confirm go-ahead by pressing the accelerator. If FSD Beta continues to improve, sooner or later it will cross the threshold at which it becomes safer than most human drivers.

Of course, IF I see new evidence that contradicts my perceptions, I'll change my mind again. There's no shame in changing our minds when the facts disagree with our views. FWIW, I'd love to see videos of Cruise and Waymo vehicles, filmed by tens of thousands of regular consumers driving autonomously on fully unrestricted roads, with zero editorial input from Cruise or Waymo.
The in-between states are already provided by the finite speed of human muscles. When I press a key, it already "animates" up and down. I don't need to add any artificial latency on top of that.
Thanks for the bug reporting.

Heat goes in. Heat goes out. It's already thermalized.

You can't kill what is already dead.

The right question is how much heat escapes? This will depend on time, and they seem to be claiming 12 hours effectiveness which would seem to imply half of the heat escapes at max storage somewhere between 3 and 24 hours.

It does very limited validation. It is very purpose specific, its ultimate objective to check whether the first character of a UTF-8 string is RTL or LTR, for layout purporses. To do this we convert N UTF-8 bytes to a single UTF-32 code pointer, after which we check its value against a simple table. If we can't decode the code point from the UTF-8 encoding, we return NULL which falls (for our purposes) in the LTR category. The UTF-8 string is left untouched and unvalidated and passed as-is outside of our library, where it's someone else's problem.

(The function is defined as static in the cpp file where RTL detection is done, with a warning that is not general purpose)

In keeping with what I imagine to be a YC philosophy, it is a simple thing that might work.

I could be wrong, but custom user regex's doesn't seem to fit with these.

There's also the additional processing load for running regex's on the server and the DOS surface area that would add...

But you might argue the regex could be implemented on the client using javascript.

And that would put us in total agreement.

Not all animations are an issue. Disabling all animations would be too much. That’s why the website needs to decide for each animation if it should be affected by prefers-reduced-motion. The browser cannot make this decision¹.

The likeliest candidate is probably the final render step. Under the hood, search farms the query out to multiple backends, gathers partials from them, and then composites those partials into the final rendered page. For an actual 500 to surface to the user, that final compositing step is probably what fails; gathering and compositing are already robust against an individual backend failing to return a result.

I'm on board with other people's suggestions that asking a question like this is tripping over a site that surfaced an emoji in their site title that is choking the Unicode library that Google is relying upon.

The paper Title is >Role of spike in the pathogenic and antigenic behavior of SARS-CoV-2 BA.1 Omicron<

>Omicron, efficiently replicates in cell lines and primary-like distal lung cells.

In *K18-hACE2 Mice* , while Omicron causes mild, non-fatal infection, the Omicron S-carrying virus inflicts severe disease with a mortality rate of 80%.

This indicates that while the vaccine escape of Omicron is defined by mutations in S, major determinants of viral pathogenicity reside outside of S.

Because that's where I happened to find the graphs? Go right ahead and find the papers if you like. The research in question is simply plotting old model projections on a graph along with satellite temperatures.

"Wouldn't it make more sense to get a variety of sensor data?"

By all means, try it. You'll find that satellites and weather balloons disagree with surface level temperature history. The reason is, climatologists keep editing surface temperature databases to create new 'versions' that create warming trends where none were previously visible. This is not scientific, of course. You're meant to fit your theory to the data, not data to the theory. The satellite data presented there is much less tampered with.

Post and heading are written to attribute this to malice, without offering any proof. It seems likely given how new Bun is that the benchmark writers simply lacked familiarity.
I'm sure something like that is going on, for the military they would pump up the prices. That's where the $100 million comes from, it would cost the Pentagon that much.

But Ukraine wouldn't pay that much for it. Satellite internet is a bit of a luxury for them right now. SpaceX was the one giving it to them playing heroes, and it was nice of them, but they should've had a plan for how long they were willing to let Ukraine using it, instead of threatening of turning it off at the whim of their fragile CEO's mood.
For this one I don't want to find if it replicates in humans.
Answering for myself:

Had short discussion with couple of friends more familiar with podman vs docker, they highlighted the case when you need to give access to docker socket (say for building images) or for other needs to someone who is not in infrastructure admins (devops) team. As we know, having access to docker effectively meant root access on host, so such untrusted parties access implies severe risk of your host belongs to someone else now.

For such cases, when you cannot guarantee the one who operates docker is the root on host anyways, podman starts to make sense.

Im surprised performance at this level even matters to most folks. Like if you truly thought this microbenchmark was the reason to choose one runtime over another Id be shocked. It makes it equally surprising that this error from the Deno crew, who should all know better.

In either case, I hope they announce a correction and move on to more important matters. If youre trying to shave another tiny bit of rps out of your boxes then thats an incredible success problem; not the kind 99.999 of companies will need.
I find it modestly interesting that he is comparing power density (of tubes) to transistors per unit area (moors postulate, its not a law)... I think it could be worth noting the Dennard scaling here, in that the power density of transistors (chip wide) is remaining nearly constant due to us lowering the Vdd of the transistor on every generation of reducing the channel width.

So, the tubes got much more powerful, the transistors are getting more numerous, but at the same time using less and less power each.
>it seems like it should be possible for them to be one of the few technologists that can charge exceptional consulting rates

The skillsets of an exceptional consultant and a successful highly overemployed person can be quite different. The former likely commands their high rates because they work on very difficult, niche problems, and are one of only a few people in the world capable of solving such problems. The latter may just work on boring CRUD apps that anyone with a couple years of coding experience could do. Their skillset lies in having the grit to stay focused on said boring CRUD apps for >8 actual hours per day (and never take a vacation, spend time with friends/family, and all the other things you mention, which I agree is bonkers). They also likely have the social skills to convincingly hide the fact to each employer that they're massively overemployed.

It seems like there is some battle between the two with an article bashing Bun's performance metrics by a Deno contributor just the other day. The article doesn't do nearly as good of a job pointing out the differences though and the allegations by the Deno contributor which appear to be legitimate.

Also, just because Bun is single threaded doesn't mean they should get special exceptions in performance testing. If they don't like the numbers then give a comparable test with Bun using multithreading.
