It's important to resolve changes to the package environment as a whole. Pip doesn't really do this, and as of a few years ago didn't even resolve multiple CLI-specified packages together, and this causes major compatibility and consistency issues.

Doing this correctly can be difficult to get fast, but performance does matter. Resolving Conda environments adds way too much time to CI jobs. The Pkg.jl resolver is pretty great and we never have to wait for resolution. It's my understanding that this was a non-trivial technical problem that went through a few implementation iterations.

Explainability on failure to resolve is a really useful tool that becomes more difficult the more features you add. Pkg.jl has struggled with this in some cases where it hides certain version restrictions (e.g. "by explicit requirement" is rough when your project hasn't set that particular requirement). Lots of people have spent lots of time trying to identify incompatibilities over the years, and we've had to rely on people developing arcane knowledge to interpret resolution failures.

Immutable, cached packages is important for avoiding spending a lot of time downloading. It's very important to completely distinguish different versions/configurations though, i.e. you don't want a configuration setting that affects which code gets put at `~/mypkg/packages/<pkg-version-id>`.

The package source should be reliable/redundant. People will install packages in the course of normal work (automated updates, testing, etc.) and will need an always-on package manager. GitHub has proven not to be reliable enough.

At the same time, an offline mode should be available.

Getting installation configuration options right can be a big value add. I love cargo's feature flag implementation, and even Python now has "extras".

Every package manager eventually regrets not adding a "yank" feature.

Enterprise users will always eventually want to see multiple sources (private and public).

I appreciate when package managers consider the audience for their output and don't output line-by-line progress meters when running in a non-interactive environment.

Querying the package dependency tree is really useful! Both dependants and dependencies, flat and recursive. Even better if there's a library to do this that you can script and experiment with.
Why would you presume good faith here?
Happy to see Nostr here.

I have been playing with this (you can too by creating a pub/priv keypair at https://astral.ninja or https://branle.netlify.app/) and am impressed with the simplicity (but potential) of the protocol
Beyond the tool itself, I like what this tool encourages: deliberate, conscious control of how we recall and explore our interests. Not some algorithm hoovering up whatever our lizard brains drove us to do at any given moment and offering us more of that so we spend as much time on the app as possible. Just a faithful servant helping us remember what we want to learn and do and be.

Put another way: Twitter wants you to spend as much time on Twitter as possible. If Twitter can interest you in fake controversies where people get mad about stuff that isn't true or makes no sense, Twitter will happily do that. But you're not gonna put "dig into more fake Twitter controversies" in your recall app. It's there to remind you of what you truly want, not just the things you can be tempted into wasting your life on.

I'd rather pay for an app that's going to make me better than get a free app that's going to make me worse.
Onlyfans may be an extreme example of it, but all such successful platforms – YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch and the rest – are paying their popular users a lot of money to stay there.

Early thirties here: my friends and I do not call people except for older relatives on occasion. We've kept our phones on vibrate for a decade and a half now.

Worth noting that EMIT wasn't funded for this purpose. It was greenlit to measure and track dust (arguably still for climate-related purposes, but still!). This is a relatively minor example of why funding space-based science is so important. We're still seeing "accidental benefits" of deploying technology there.
You really should be checking if the location object exists. Pushing the blame to another project is deflecting from a missing check that should happen on your end.

Yes, but that shouldn't prevent us from implementing it where we can first.
I tried to like Perl. I really really did. `while (<>)` and regex literals are amazing. Everything else is kind of rough for me, especially the way arrays and hash tables work, and I much prefer Zsh, AWK, or Python for the same niche.
> Old money reigns supreme because the "new" voices are not independent

Are you implying there are no legitimate discussions between non-checkmarked users today on Twitter? That there is only a leader(check-marked users) and follower dynamic?
Probably isn't too bad. chunks probably fill a cache line. Then it is just a question of whether or not beam inserts prefetches for the next chunk, and or the CPU prefetch realizes we are chasing this set of pointers.

Note: I am more familiar with C++, so C++ digression here.

C++ has std::deque that is a similar non-contiguous chunked container, comparing it to std::vector(the contiguous container) it is really close for things vector is good at, and better than it at things vector is bad at like random insert and removal.

> Is there a website or service that lists cost ranges for enterprise SaaS products?

Probably not. Have had good success in the past posting random stuff on reddit, like "I'm paying 12000 / core for Oracle, am I high? Is this common?" in r/sysadmin, and then having people correct me.

But for the most part SaaS ain't offer those prices online. Contact someone, set up time for a call, and get prices. This is why vendor managers, sales engineers, solution architects, etc. are a thing.

Misinformation like that the Biden laptop is a Russian conspiracy?
Definitely maybe. If your I/O list is a list of integers (the traditional Erlang string type), probably not.

If your I/O list is a bunch of binaries you got from here and there and you don't need to inspect them, just pass them along to another destination, then maybe yes. When BEAM writes an I/O list to an FD, it's going to use scatter/gather I/O and at no time does BEAM need to form a contiguous chunk of memory with all the data; what the OS does with that is up to the OS though.

FWIW this is also the main selling point of Zsh. I should go through this document in detail (thank you for linking it!) but a quick search shows that Zsh is not mentioned even once, and I think a Zsh comparison would be really valuable for people like me.

Or is it like Neovim vs. Emacs at that point, where neither one is "better" and it's just a matter of taste and/or whichever one you happened to try first?

Everyone can’t buy a checkmark. Bots will be almost impossible to scale at $8/mo, which means if you deprioritize or hide content from bots without the check, Twitter has a realistic shot at eliminating the bot problem.
Sure, redefine the terms if you like.

The thing that accepts the input must make sure it is properly escaped. Think of SQL injection attacks - they are because the thing that accepts input hasn't properly escaped the input.

Cross site scripting attacks are exactly the same thing but occur when the input side doesn't properly escape HTML input.

I think what we need is just a twitter feed without any censorship (apart from those required by law), that will allow us to add our own customized filters. And maybe people can publish (and probably even sell) their custom filters. Somewhat like adblock lists that we have now.

That would get rid of blanket censorship (at the server level if it's mastadon) as well as allow people to consume/engage with accounts they choose.
Logical positivist vs Knight of faith, Berserker approach to life
Yeesh, what is with the Twitter/Musk fanboy crowd and journalists and blue checks. It's such an unhinged and nonsensical hatred. Reeks of being jealous.
>I use Firefox. However I can't help but chuckle at how they introduced it. Some people at Mozilla live on a different planet.

Exactly.
Next example: 2 weeks ago they introduced a new version of the internal pdf viewer and set it as default (that I accept - it's their application). However, when you set FF as the default browser in Windows they make the browser a default pdf application too (see Release Notes 106.0).
OpenSSL downgrades horror bug after week of panic, hype
Revenue means nothing. If I sold $10 bills for $9 each, I'd have billions in revenue in a week. The path to breakeven here will be long and arduous, impossible if for some reason twitter gets the facebook treatment from the population. Musk himself is doing his best to make twitter look "not cool". He is losing his bearings fast and probably thinks twitter is the way it is because of some conspiracy in management. He shut down his own "free speech absolutist" stance pretty quickly post acquisition. If he has his way, many people will not comfortable associating themselves with twitter (what happened to facebook) and well, without enough users / activity to make it your while, twitter's future looks bleak unless Musk regains his bearings somehow. And what if something new and fresh comes along in the meantime that gains traction? Twitter, and the concept is old. People want to communicate, want to be heard and become influential - this will never change, but the medium can change and it can change relatively fast.

Twitter is a 75% squeezed lemon, has some life in it but Musk is set on wasting it thinking it is a staple like telephone / email is.
Well, put bluntly, the reason is that you probably are not using the Nikon properly. So, your photos are not coming out that great or as you hoped. Don't take this personally, I also have my limitations using cameras properly. But I understand I'm an amateur when it comes to this and that I'm part of the problem. I try to learn to do better. I try, and sometimes it works out nicely and I get a really nice shot. Landscape photography is tough to get right. You really need to understand your camera and lenses to make that work.

The point of such a camera is not the in camera processing, which most pro users would not use on principle. Instead it's gaining a lot of control over setting up the shot properly with a lot of control over all the parameters that matter to achieve a look that matches what you want, intentionally. And then you finish the job in post processing. There's reason these things have so many buttons and dials: you need to use them to get the most out of the camera. And the point of owning such a camera is having that level of control. The flip side is that that makes you responsible for the intelligence. That kind of is the whole point. If that's not what you wanted, you bought the wrong camera.

The iphone has a very limited set of controls. You actually have very little control over it. Nice if that's what you want and the AI is awesome. But it's also a bit limiting if you want more. Of course it's very nice when that's the camera you have and you want to take a shot quickly by just pointing and clicking. Nothing wrong with that. I have a Pixel 6 and a Fuji X-T30. I use them both but not the same way.

Perhaps it should not, but it will. Who is going to accept heavy regulation when their competition is not so encumbered?
>> But other people use Twitter in different ways.

Saw a roundtable about this and a film maker said it was really hard when they're about to release a film and someone uses a fake Twitter handle that's close to theirs releases the trailer or footage before they wanted it released.

Paying to have a blue check on their account would cut down this type of piracy or release of trailers before the producer wants to. They said it would be very worth it to maintain the legitimacy of what they're doing.

I'm assuming other types of creators would see the value in being able to say, "If its not from my verified account, then its not (me, my work, my companies work) and you should ignore it."
I can't help but compare to US elections, the higher the bar to vote and less registered voters, the more centralization Republicans can pull off. The only way Democrats can win is if voting and registration are easier and lots of people show up to vote, at least nationally.
By default, the pictures they take have nothing to do with reality. You can check it yourself by comparing the picture on the screen with the scene you pictured. Try it with some clouds f.e. This was my experience.
What 200 mp phone camera sensors? The iPhone 14 is closer to a 12MP digital camera (quad bayer 48 million sensors). And from what I recall, 8 or maybe 10 bit. So in comparison to the 211MB of sensor data coming off the R5, there's 36 to 45MB of data coming off the phone camera. And I believe the 14's max shutter speed is 1/1000, so there's up to 35 times less data needing to be read off the sensor (45GB/s versus 1.6TB/s)

And I'm sure there is multiple processing paths - I just don't know the fine details about how that raw data is slurped off the sensor.

> And adblock is an option sitting in the wings.

Yes, but! Most people use Twitter through the app, and blocking ads there isn't as simple as having your tech-savvy friend install uBlock Origin in your browser. Adblocking in apps is, even for techies, something between extremely sophisticated and downright impossible.

Well, it's possible he may be inclined to reduce the amount of misinformation that harms his and his friends' political ambitions.

Not if all your efforts are wasted because other nations won't follow in-step or do not care.

This isn't grade school were trying your hardest gets you an 'A' for the day... in reality trying your hardest and failing is still failure.

The US could do all the magical things and net zero emissions next year and it won't matter one bit. That's just reality... without a globally concerted effort, it's all just waste.

But I realize there is a non-trivial amount of folks that believe doing something, anything is better than nothing - even if it is not logical and has no beneficial outcome.

Perhaps we should put those energies into productive means of solving the problem instead of emotionally "feel-good" solutions. Why does developing countries use dirty energy production? What can we do to make it cheaper to use renewables instead? Can we make biodegradable plastics more attractive than traditional plastics? That's just scratching the surface...
