Oh, that depends. If OP is critical to their business, they normally would not fire him. Except if he sets and example for other employees, so their productivity starts dropping as well. Or if part of the manager's compensation is the right to treat reports like shit and fire them on a whim, as long as stuff gets somewhat done (i.e. a non-asshole manager would ask for more pay). Or if their entire business model is to churn through naive people by using them while they are still productive, and quickly disposing of them as they approach burnout.

you are correct that US federal spending was around 5-6 trillion.

This excludes ~ 5 trillion in federal reserve spending as it pumped money into the economy, which isn't technically "government spending". Of this. ~2 trillion was spent maintaining repo and other rates for liquidity. About 1.5 trillion in mortgage backed securities were purchased, and about 2.5 trillion in long term securities were purchased.

I agree with you, hence my first sentence in the previous post.

In fact, just today a friend made a comment about his Internet that clearly spelled out buffer bloat. I didn't have a good recommendation to make him, and his current router doesn't even seem to have the most basic QoS.

This is not an easy problem to solve though, especially since connections fluctuate which means a static SQM configuration will not always be the ideal.

There are efforts to adjust the threshold dynamically but they're not quite there yet, and are even more specialised.

Which method do you use to do this?

I use Wizmage Image Hider -- that works surprisingly well for the vast majority of images, and it does a great job of keeping content aligned so that it doesn't screw things up too badly. Only very rarely does Javascript nefariousness let an image slip through it -- overall it's a fantastic Chrome extension.

Twitter penalizes links. If you post a tweet with a link only a fraction of the people will see it compared to a twitter thread. They much prefer people stay on platform.

It's not just Twitter doing this - all social networks prefer you stay within their platform. Facebook is notorious for it.

If you put all that work into a blog post and only 5 people see it versus typing it out as a twitter thread and 1000 see it, it makes it obvious which ones ie better - even if its a worse UI.
If the content is truly good, then my incentive is for as many people to read it as possible. Therefore, why should I not advertise it? What's the point of good writing if no one is around to read it? Sure, you can write for yourself, but again, if you think the content is good, you should want as many people to read it as possible.
Do you think the same for Go as well? Because Go is by all means much more verbose than Java.

Interesting. I had ruled out s2idle completely because I just figured it would have much higher battery drain. From the Linux kernel docs[1]:

State: Suspend-To-Idle
ACPI state: S0
Label: "s2idle" ("freeze")

This state is a generic, pure software, light-weight, system sleep state.
It allows more energy to be saved relative to runtime idle by freezing user
space and putting all I/O devices into low-power states (possibly
lower-power than available at run time), such that the processors can
spend more time in their idle states.

This state can be used for platforms without Power-On Suspend/Suspend-to-RAM
support, or it can be used in addition to Suspend-to-RAM to provide reduced
resume latency. It is always supported.

And notice that for 'deep' mode, the same docs say:

State: Suspend-to-RAM
ACPI State: S3
Label: "deep"

This state, if supported, offers significant power savings as everything in the
system is put into a low-power state, except for memory, which should be placed
into the self-refresh mode to retain its contents.

I do already have 'nvme.noacpi=1' set, so I guess I'll try out 's2idle'. Thanks for the tip.

I do note that the installation guide doesn't say anything about s2idle vs deep suspend: https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Fedora+36+Installation+on+th...

Especially when posting something on Medium means that a lot of people won't see it since Medium blocks your post if the reader has read too many Medium posts that month, asking them to login or subscribe. I basically block people who tweet Medium posts for that reason. If I can't click on something on mobile to read it right there and then, it's a waste of my time. Same with paywalls.
I just didn't think Pypy belonged in the same category as Pyston. There have been a few similar projects - Pyjion, Unladen Swallow and Nuitka also come to mind - each of them are/were impressive pieces of engineering, worthy of our admiration. But each of them have also seemed to hit a wall of some kind and have fallen by the wayside, as you said Pyston has. Meanwhile Pypy has stuck around for fifteen years, it may not be CPython but it'll still be around for a while yet I imagine.

"Hiring the best engineers"

Every company can't have the best engineers. They cost too much and they're a finite resource. I would argue that the quality of engineers is just going down, too, as the hiring pool is flooded with people who've had zero tech experience, and then took a bootcamp and "churned on algorithms" to finally land a tech job. You probably will end up with poor to average engineers, and you'll have to deal with that.

"Building solid long-term foundations from day one"

You have average engineers. The foundations they make are not going to be solid. And even if they could make solid foundations, your founders won't care. They just want to ship ship ship ship ship. So your foundations aren't going to be solid... and you'll have to deal with that.

"Tracking metrics to guide decision-making"

Never seen it done well. If you have the time and staff to properly do this, you're either crazy lucky or are swimming in cash. Those days are probably gone... and you'll have to deal with that.

"Keeping teams small and independent"

Remember Conway's Law? The more teams you have, the more fractured your architecture becomes. Obviously you can't have one infinitely big team, so the key is to have as few teams as you can get away with. Integrate them tightly - same standards, same methods of communication and work. Eliminate monopolies of knowledge. Enforce workflows that naturally leads to everyone being more informed. (For example, every team having stand-up on a video call means none of the teams have any idea what the other teams are doing)

There's actually a lot of evidence-based research and practical experience out there, that's been around for decades, that shows how to maintain the productivity of organizations, regardless of whether they're growing or not. But they're not trendy, so nobody working today gives a crap. Actual productivity gets ignored while managers pat themselves on the back and start-ups churn out banal blog posts with the same lame advice that thousands of startups have used and still completely failed to maintain velocity with. We all know how startups today really get by: burning through staff and money, and luck.
It's easy to make this policy objective. Give them a test of ethical principles. Hire the person who fails it...

Web browser is the standard API. And the viewing tool is Windows.

I know you wanna plug in your $20 to $50 dongle into an HDMI port and hope for the best, but your laptop will work fine, and I'm pretty sure your phone (Android / iOS) will also work fine.

Well there's another problem. Linux isn't a standard (Debian, Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu all have different quirks). By the time we start looking at those weird hardware codec accelerators and whether or not Linux supports those drivers, you would have been done with your Windows + HDMI port.
Much needed! Congrats on the launch, Daniel and Matt.

> Matt and I came to this project after we built similar internal billing systems at previous jobs and we realized how error-prone these systems can be—one incident might have even undercharged a client by a few million dollars!

A BigCloud provider (no points for guessing) I worked for found about how they were undercharging customers due to a bug, and so, they fixed the bug for new customers, but continued to undercharge customers grandfathered in.

> However this allows us to Pull, any custom metrics and dimensions directly from your Datastore.

Most SaaS providers would rather push data than have it pulled, is what I'd imagine. Are you hearing otherwise from folks you've been speaking with? For instance, in serverless environments (which is the poison of choice for me, at least), pull is much harder to accomplish, even where possible.

> All of this data is then processed and sent to our backend usage journal, where we store it in an append-only ledger pattern.

Apparently, a BigCloud, in perhaps a case of NIH, ended up creating a highly-parallel event-queue as a direct result of the scale it was dealing with: https://archive.is/IUKvT Curious to hear how you deal with the barrage of multi-dimensional events?

> Additionally, we also help you understand your cost to serve your clients’ usage, and this data allows us to provide your SaaS with usage based billing.

2 cents: Fly.io Machines is a tremendous platform atop which I fully expect businesses to build multiple successful SaaS products; may be that's one niche for you folks to focus on and own.

> We bill based on invoiced revenue (surprise surprise its usage based) and we have a platform fee, roughly it breaks down to 1% of invoiced revenue on Paigo.

This sounds a bit steep. I know for a fact that togai.com are also in private beta (their choice of datastore is TimescaleDB, and event-store is NATS), but unsure what their pricing model is; I'd be surprised if it is the same as paigo's.
(1) is wrong. I said that 70% of reported exploitable bugs are rooted in memory safety problems. Not 70% of exploitable bugs. There is a big difference. In other words, I am suggesting that we have found a lot more of the exploitable memory safety bugs than other classes of bugs, which skews the number high, and that there are a tremendous number of latent exploitable bugs that are not related to memory safety that we haven't found out how to find yet (in a systematic way). I am also asserting that the Rust borrow checker likely won't help with those latent bugs.

The evidence that would convince me is ~10 years of a notable reduction in both total CVEs and total monetary value of exploits of that software (or a comparable piece of software). There is almost nothing that would convince me today that Rust is inherently more secure than C or C++ (particularly modern C++), except in the small class of applications that rely solely on memory safety for security and cannot use a garbage collector.

By the way, I do have an application running in production today that fits that requirement, and I wrote it in Rust.
My mind is apparently a bit more brutal, but much the same. Load the problem, meaning read on the problem, do a few test implementations of the basics, maybe do a rough object oriented solution, then a functional, get stuck and go do something else. Then at any random point here after, but mostly when completely relaxed my mind swing into action with: Hey buddy, remember that thing you where working on? Well, here you go, here's ALL OF IT in 20 seconds, so pay attention.

The human brain is amazing at background processing, but at least in my case it doesn't drip out solutions, you get everything at once.
Not OP, but i use uBlock Origin for blocking images and remote fonts and then whitelist sites where I want to see images or have remote fonts.
Yeah, my question is more about what you do as a consumer. How do you get back null safety if every field in the response is optional? Even moreso, in a SOA situation where 90% of what you work with comes across a HTTP boundary.
People only get "put in a home" when they require around the clock skilled medical care. Visiting nurses and the like exist for people who need ongoing medical care but not as often. It's usually not anyone's first choice.
But it is the point. Netflix could only do that because they had tech that the studios didn't have. The studios don't need Netflix anymore to reach their online audiences.

The stakeholders are going to pay for it. It's not an accident that companies like Amazon and Microsoft are betting big on Rust. The cost of code quality management and vulnerability mitigation is already astronomical. If Rust can lessen that burden even a little (and it certainly can), the effort of rewriting core technologies quickly pays for itself.

And most of those "teralines" of code are legacy garbage. The core OS, a basic userland, a database and a webserver are 90% of the world's critical IT infrastructure. That doesn't take a century to rewrite.
Kinda funny the gov is calling Kakao a monopoly, yet not the chaebols?
