We (Transeo [1]) use Swift and Vapor to power our application which serves millions of users and regularly hits 20k requests per second. We're running on substantially less hardware than we budgeted for, which is great, and the performance is also notable - our p99 response time at peak rps is ~250ms.

That being said, performance isn't the only thing that you should look for when choosing your backend language/framework, as you've noted. We've been using Swift/Vapor for more than 5 years now so we've seen the community grow alongside it, and I am really excited about where it's going. While the ecosystem at one time was a bit of challenge (in terms of finding a package to do something, etc), over the last ~2 years we have rarely run into problems finding code snippets or packages to accomplish our tasks. We do a lot of bulk CSV processing (hundreds of gb's at a time), SFTP transfers, PDF generation/merging, calculated database locking, all of which has been relatively seamless ecosystem-wise. Check out the SSWG projects [2] for some more cool stuff happening in the ecosystem.

Hiring has been fine as well - we have a number of developers on the team that did not have Swift or Vapor experience coming in and were able to map other frameworks on top of it and pick it up quickly.

All of that being said, I will admit that I am biased on this topic :) Frameworks and programming languages are merely tools in your tool-belt, and different tools are right for different workloads.

Start by creating a strong online profile. Make sure your website, blog, and social media profiles are well-optimized and up to date. Include biographical information, interesting facts, and links to your work or personal portfolios. Make sure all of your content is original and promotes your brand in a positive way.
Identify the platforms where people are already talking about what you do – think about the big names in your industry and target those platforms first. For example, if you’re a fashion blogger, start by investigating popular Instagram accounts with a large following in that niche....
Never. As long as media increases in size (and it will - we will always want better quality) the broadband speeds will need to increase too.
FWIW I asked a similar question in the discussion section of the repo, specifically since there is a column in the output to help with this sort of sorting (Implementation Type) and received an answer: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/discussio...

The issue here seems to be of data-display and intent of information.

From what David Fowler has to say: https://twitter.com/spetzu/status/1592255871199096833, it does seem as though the engineering portion are using the benchmarks in an expected way. Multiple implementations to see "what perf impact is there to removing X part of the code" piece-by-piece.

The benchmarks display is a comparative-between-frameworks visualization. For that to be realistic, the types of implementations would need to be the same (hence my questioning the "Implementation Approach" column). Instead, you can find various quotes online of people comparing frameworks based on the techempower scores (usually just the fortunes or plaintext), which is disingenuous at best.

I think that a more varied and utilized implementation-approach column could help alleviate this aspect of it.

The other valuable data that doesn't have the best UX for access is: how is the a single framework-test doing over time? You can head to tfb-status and download the data for each run, but then you'll need to correlate commit-ids with your own changes to build a chart.

Either way I can say that I do like the idea of the benchmarks and I've learned some interesting things diving into some of the more stripped framework/implementations found within.
For "things that should not happen" and that might indeed propagate yuck further into the system, I prefer a brittle approach to stop THAT path ASAP and log it well and get it fixed.

Maybe allow other unrelated things to continue per "make -k" though, since we'd probably like to get as much as possible done anyway, safely.

True, but as you say the meaning of words shift. It is entirely plausible that they were exposed to the term in its bureaucratic meaning, and continued to use it without any connection to actual boilers - the same way we do today.

Aside from maybe three years in the late '00s when Ubuntu was basically just Debian with much better defaults and that turned out to be a very good thing, I've always kinda disliked Linux unless I start from something very minimal and build it up, carefully curating everything. It doesn't feel bloated if you do that. It still breaks in weird and/or stupid ways but at least you know how everything fits together so you can fix it. But, it's also a ton of work, so I just run macOS these days.

If you want a near-instant-boot appliance with Linux, try Librelec. I think it's made for Kodi but you can use it for other things. Lakka (Retroarch) uses it and gets me to a GUI, ready to interact with, rendering under DRM (so, no X or Wayland) in like 3 seconds flat on a Raspberry Pi. Or, FreeDOS isn't a crazy option for appliance-type machines, depending on what you want to run.
>1. "I'm not an expert on traditional finance"

>Clearly.

And is that a problem? "traditional finance" is a sprawling subject. There are literally four year degrees on "finance". Yet, jane street hires (a "traditional finance" trading firm) regularly hires people with only mathematics degrees to trade for them. Other hedge funds/trading firms do the same as well.

> 2. "it's a lot more boring"

>There was one particular customs agent who knew this guy and would catch him. The mule would pick flights during that agent's shift - told me that it was boring otherwise.

>These kids were getting a kick out of risky trades.

Don't you think you're reading a little too much into this? Someone calls traditional finance boring so they must be some sort of adrenaline junkie?

>3. "conservative enough that it's very unlikely for you to actually lose all your money."

>This tells me they knew what they were up to and they didn't really care - it was part of the game.

In some ways traditional finance's margin requirements are more conservative. Regulation T specifies that for stocks, initial margin is 50% (ie. if you buy $100 worth of stocks, you need to pay for $50 out of your own pocket), and maintenance margin is 25%. A quick search says that FTX's margins are 10% and 5% respectively. However, in other ways traditional finance's margin requirements are looser. Because they expect that the lender is a legal entity they can go after, they're much more lenient when it comes to liquidating customer's accounts. That's how lenders got burned on Archegos, because Archegos were giving excuses, the lenders believed them (also, liquidating your customer is rude and they don't want to lose their business), and didn't liquidate them. Crypto on the other hand is far more conservative in this regard, because they basically assume that the only assets you have are the assets in your account. To that end, crypto exchanges (including FTX) have margin monitoring 24/7 and will automatically liquidate customer accounts when they dip too low. So to get back to your original point, they do care, and it's something they thought long and hard about.
Can't it be cool on its own merit? Is it not, at least, good to normalize EVs as as good or better on all levels? Is it wrong to make an EV to be fast?

I mean, take your reasoning one step farther- it would be better to have fewer cars, so who cares about anything that isn't a bus or a self-driving taxi? The only cars that should exist are the ones that can't be replaced with more efficient alternatives.

For instance, cars purely for recreation, like racecars. Those cars should be made into EVs. Like this.
FWIW, that never happened, it's just an old wives tale.
It's easy to boot quickly when you have very little supported hardware to look for. I remember compiling custom FreeBSD kernels with only the hardware on my box and racing my roommate's BeBox to login prompt. Then he would start playing a bunch of movies at once and I'd open up Netscape.
Ted Chiang explores this idea in a short story called "The Truth of Fact, The Truth of Feeling" (https://devonzuegel.com/post/the-truth-of-fact-the-truth-of-...), which takes place in a world where commercial, individual, always-on recording exists. Ted Chiang also wrote the short story that the movie Arrival was based on.
I'm sure a simple tool would improve the environment issue you mentioned.

It's crazy to me how `https://asdf-vm.com` is still not that well known, Should help to fix lots of dependency issue and it should be a must install for all developers.
Excellent. Just terrific.

My future perfect system also logs my location and what I'm doing. And probably health metrics too, like heart and breathing rate.

Instead of initiating my exercises, I just want to say "Robert, start jog". The "modal" nature of my Apple Watch's Activities really frustrates me.

I don't want to take notes while I'm listening to a podcast. I'm generally doing something else at the time. I just want to say "Robert, bookmark". And magically a link will be made to whatever I'm listening to at the time. (Audio book, radio, stream, podcast, whatever.)

Ditto identifying songs (Shazam!).

I don't want to fart around with exchanging contact information. My hands are usually full or whatever. Just say "Robert, contact info" and then repeat out loud whatever I hear.

I also want to rewind after the fact. When trying to recall a tidbit, I'll remember the song, where I was (eg while walking the dog), who I was with, what I was eating. So if I want to remember which podcast I was listening to while at the park, I'd just start with my location log and jump over to my podcast listening log.

What could be more simple?

FWIW, I'm still waiting for my "bicycle for the mind".

PS- I've tried, half-heartedly, to use the voice recorder app, and notes with voice transcription. But then it quickly becomes a treasure hunt. And my attempts to do this stuff with Siri just leaves me more frustrated.

Thanks for listening.

Great project. Please keep us posted on updates.

Brendan Eich donated $1000 in 2008 to support "Prop 8" in California. Prop 8 was a constitutional amendment that required the state to only recognize marriage between one man and one woman.

In 2014, this donation came to light after he was appointed CEO of the Mozilla Corporation. Much outrage ensued and Eich was more or less forced to resign.

I don’t see the market for a high end dive watch without air integration, but with the UX they have.

The people that don’t care about AI dive with a perdix or tables, but basically require something you can operate with gloves on. The rest of them with the money for a nice watch really want AI.
> The SOS button is very expensive. Extremely expensive.

With my inReach I pay for the insurance plan [1]. I do wilderness float/canoe/kayak trips and I have it for peace of mind in case I or somebody I'm with (or encounter) is immobilized, as I can walk out of most places I go to if my legs are working.

I haven't been able to find any such option for the iPhone, which, amongst other things, means I'll be keeping my inReach. Though to be clear I don't know to what degree I would be on the hook for anything if I _did_ hit the SOS button.

The simple point is that the fundraising banner is intentionally misleading. People believe they are donating to the cause of keeping Wikipedia online and significantly less than half of their money is going to that.
I'm a pretty faithful GTD user, and I love the book, because I need to hear some of those things a hundred times, but also because there's nuance to the method beyond a few mechanical basics. I've met a lot of people who say they do GTD and haven't read the book or only skimmed it, and invariably they seem to basically just use to-do lists. That's a good first step, but it's a terrible place to stop.

Very interesting. Maybe Buffett isn't too concerned about the geopolitical risks to TSMC? There's been tons of chatter about China militarily reunifying with Taiwan by 2027 but I'm guessing Buffett thinks it's all hot air? Because if China does invade Taiwan, then TSMC would be the first to suffer.
While the driver appeared quick to blame the car, safety experts believe the deadly high-speed run could have been caused by the driver mistaking the brake pedal for the accelerator.

Perhaps I have a very unpopular view, but I find this higly improbable. I would rank the probable causes in order of likely probable to tin-foil-hat to be:

- [Very likely] Malfunction of the controller. If there is a black box or real time remote telemetry this could be easily verified. I would be curious if people can authenticate into their own cars API and pull down telemetry data to their cell phone real time yet.

- [Less likely] Driver suicidal. They tried to evade collision and did not target someone nor did they target a wall or pole or cliff.

- [Not likely] Driver confuses accelerator and brake peddle. This would require excessive use of mind imparing drugs and/or alcohol. This is easy to test for.

- [Tinfoil] Citizen spoke out against the wrong person and the theoretical mandated remote drive-by-wire was utilized. Similar theories apply to Anne Heche not a Tesla but same capabilities based on the Ring videos and the movie she was coincidentally producing about sex trafficking that would name names. a.k.a. working as designed, issue closed
Anecdotally, my inner monologue certainly is physically articulated. It would be really interesting to build tech that can understand it.
Sounds like an unofficial record, yes? Generally, real world records require running the top speed in both directions within a set amount of time.
Regulation requiring these is newer than the term 'boilerplate' which was used to describe the boiler-making material.

https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=boilerplate

And the OED on the original 'boiler plate'

1. Usually as two words. A plate or sheet of metal of suitable thickness and strength to be used in constructing the shell of a boiler. Also as mass noun: metal in the form of such plates. Cf. boiler-iron n. at boiler n. Compounds 2.

1860 D. K. Clark & Z. Colburn Recent Pract. Locomotive Engine i. i. 1/1 The earliest recorded trials of the strength of boiler-plate, are those of Mr. Fairbairn, made in 1838.

1874 J. H. Collins Princ. Metal Mining (1875) xiii. 74 The kibble is simply an iron bucket made of boiler plates, riveted together.

does anyone use fedora as their desktop?

If fedora software is actually newer, it might be a worthy desktop
Why is this downvoted?

This desire to be in control of a car, or the belief one should be in control of a car, is a true curse on the public realm. People who actively think of themselves of good drivers, are invariable the ones who drive aggressively. It's never the ones that drive slow, boring, and predictable that reject safety measures.

For example; seatbelts were fought, the fetishization of things like acceleration or top speed capabilities of a car, traffic calming measures that reduce top speeds are always fought, speed limiters are way out of the overton window, just mentioning automated speed cameras cause aneurysms, ...

People have unhealthy attachment to the brand of driving, the dumb shit that they see on car advertisements.

It's primarily a male ego thing, and it's pathetic and needs to go.

Safety measures that prevent so-called spirited driving should be mandatory on cars: speed limiters, auto-braking, and lane keeping are a good start.

One was this very classic beginner move - you break both their time and their distance, suddenly they're wa too close, you fend yourself off time, and rather than trying any escaping maneuver as someone trained would, they just counter attack ; with short distance and your full weight already committed to the fente, not great.

>Early gamblers buy first batch of clown bucks, then hype the price, then next group of gambles buy slightly more expensive clown bucks, then hype, then then buy, in a loop

That is not a ponzi scheme. The selling of the asset to the next sucker, and the price going up, and each person in line getting to shave some profit off the next person is not a ponzi scheme. (It's also exactly how non dividend end paying stocks work. The stock is only worth what the next person is willing to pay.) Youve described a pump and dump.

A ponzi scheme has a mechanism to give a fraudulent "RETURN" to investors that HOLD. That is the definition.

None of the clow bucks are claiming that the underlying product is producing its own profit, the only value is the holding of the asset itself.

Everyone is now using ponzi to mean any sort of scheme including ponzi, pump and dump, etc. But thats not what the word ponzi actually means. And when you say things like "by definition" we need to stick to the actual definition.

>What is the intersectional scientific methodology? The Intersectional Scientific Methodology (ISM) is the concept that your identities and experiences influence your science. We coined this term in our peer-reviewed article. You will need to address how your project incorporates embodied observation, embedded context, and/or collective impact in the additional information section of your proposal to be eligible for a boost.

This isn't nearly the bogeyman people would have you believe it is. One's "identities and experiences" can easily influence which questions they are and aren't addressing (intentionally or not). None of this "intersectional scientific method" seems, however, to degrade the scientific method itself.
At a certain point, the slang term "boilerplate" branched away from the derogatory sense in reference to newspapers to the more neutral sense of formulaic. The first "neutral" sense reference in the OED is from 1949:

Navy Contract Law (U.S. Bureau Naval Personnel) ix. 212/2 -- "This type of clause has proved so valuable that it is presently standard ‘boilerplate’ not only in shipbuilding contracts but also in almost every kind of contract."

The first reference in the OED for it being used w/r/t computer stuff is 1990:

L. Wall & R. L. Schwartz Programming Perl vii. 379 -- "Like mus itself, man2mus is not 100% effective, but can save you a lot of time producing the initial boilerplate."

I suppose it's an Apple news site, but calling them "Apple chipmaker" is a heavy understatement of how ubiquitous TSMC's chips are. Even without Apple involved TSMC would have its foundries running at full capacity to meet demand. Ignoring geopolitical concerns, TSMC is much more of a "boring" manufacturing company than a tech company. So it's not surprising that Berkshire would invest in it.

At least on Linux, machines that have proper suspend states integrated into their CPU should get picked up by the kernel and managed properly.

Free speech doesn't mean the same thing to Musk, or any private party, than it does to the government. The engineers were not restrained by Musk, in any way, to speak their minds.
