Did Elon seriously invest in Doge? I was assuming he was just having fun, in his own way.
I had my own hell with Microservices during my last big-corp job. Having to deal with API migrations was a nightmare, because other teams never wanted to spend the time to switch to the newer versions, and it was hard to even figure out where in their codebase the API calls were being made from.

There is definitely still a lot of opportunity to breach the boundary between development and production to understand distributed systems

This is just basically everyone using Slack, as Firefox, Chrome, and Safari support web extensions API

I would bet that most people who use Chrome or Firefox install extensions that can run arbitrary JS on every page, like ad blockers, full page screenshot, or “nifty” discount-coupon-code extensions.
No, Python does not have tail recursion optimization, because Guido decided that he wanted to preserve stack frames for better tracebacks. The language team may revisit that decision someday.

I assume you're referring to an optimization, because one can write tail recursion in any language that supports subroutines.
The way I think about this is: physical laws lead to the emergence of information processing machines that form big networks together and develop cultural language of ever increasing sophistication. The monorail song is just the production of this large distributed thinking machine.
I'm waiting for a vaccine that prevents bankruptsy. Since we are no longer talking about pathogens and transmission of viruses, things that vaccines were supposed to be about when thinking of like opiods or cancer. So anything is possible.
You didn't ask for advice, but I have some Linux experience and it does feel a little like a trick question since you would normally never do that. Probably I'd give 100% credit for answering the question as asked, and 90% credit if they can explain to you what happened after running it in a terminal or if you tell them the end result.

If you need good questions, maybe ask your current admins the five most common operations or pain points they have every day and then base your questions on that.
Yes, that they reject the framework doesn't really matter does it?
That answers the question who got those 16 billions, at least.
It's a standard to have a personal website, at least among my colleagues and generally among people I find interesting.
According to their website they take fiat currency. So yeah.

Also there's the VC funding, which presumably was mainly USD. Though not many people probably care about their losses.

If I'm reading your response correctly you're basically saying "The silver lining that you're talking about wasn't even initiated by these companies, but instead a function of gov't interest/investment."

That sounds about right. I could believe that the only good thing to come out of these companies is the result of the Gov't makes them do things for the people. Profit is not a good motive for a company investing in making people healthy.

Absolutely fucking insane that this could have even lasted that long.

When things are good, Ponzi schemes appear smarter, hipper and more profitable than ordinary businesses and so no one want to run anything else after a bit. That's why the Fed is there to "take away the punch bowl just when the party is getting interesting" - because, whatever their other virtues, markets won't stop this before disaster strikes.

Why D? Why not C / C++?
My take is that a B-tree-like database should really have: a) optional compression, b) variable-size blocks, c) a write-ahead log (possibly indexed) to amortize the cost of B-tree transactions. That way, if compression pays, you use it, and if not, not. I.e., it should be like ZFS.
Surely colonization was not a "minor factor historically", comparatively or not.

Polities have engaged in conquest and oppression for sure, and the subjugated have always paid the price. Baghdad for example lost its glory after conquest too. But the scale at which Western colonialism happened after the 15th c. is commensurate with the scale of scientific progress that took place there.

Industrialisation, I would submit, was something that accelerated the process via radically higher efficiencies, not what enabled the development of science and technology in the first place.

Let's also remember that industrialisation itself was also used as a weapon of colonization and was hardly a morally neutral value addition to Western society.
This is a great little library! Well done!

Several years ago I wrote this tiny (very flakey) in memory topic producer cache - https://github.com/jeremylcarter/PartitionCache. The purpose was to create something like Event Hubs and/or Kafka but in memory only - just to split up workloads by a producer key. I have since seen how bad my initial implementation was, and I did rewrite it - but haven't pushed the branch up. It was designed for localhost/integration testing usage only.

Perhaps there is a use case for you to have keyed producers. Whereby the same items from the same producer ID are always processed by the same worker - even if it were just round robin assignment to a "batch". This however can lead to "noisy" batches (unless some batch resizer/mover algorithm was created to distribute the load evenly).

I have also dabbled in the Qoollo Turbo library which has a nice QueueProcessor which is easy to extend (see QueueAsyncProcessor<T>) - you should check that out too for inspiration.
Was there a previous vaccine widely deployed using mRNA tech? If not, it seems like "novel" is entirely appropriate concerning certain uncertainties of using such a vaccine.

One of the effects of layoffs/firings, if not always the primary intention, is to put the employees in a state of insecurity and anxiety -- to make you work harder, longer, etc.

Best solution I can think of is to try to form a union, so you have some ability to fight back if and when someone lays you off, fires you, harasses you, etc.

That said, both the process of forming a union, and then trying to exist post-union, can get you fired or effectively fired. Companies, e.g. Tesla, will just close down entire factories to escape labor laws, etc. Of course, in IT, it's much easier to outsource jobs. Other companies will just shut down to kill a union, and sometimes re-form once the union is dead. This is all in America, which is a very anti-labor country.

Could there be a chance for splitting android into two half? One for per device low level initialization and one for a shared image for all android devices?

So the idea is you be able to easily upgrade or even multiboot different android or linux images if you wish, without having to recompile for every device.

There are several issues here: finding, identity, storage, and delivery. They're somewhat separable.

Finding is "where do I go to get X". We have URLs, which assume a specific server. There are content-based keys, such as DOIs and URIs and hashes. But how do you find where the info is stored? Google? Something like DNS? Something else? This is the hardest problem. What Youtube really sells is "discovery" not streaming hosting. There are lots of streaming services, but you won't get the views.

Identity has all the usual problems. If people can create lots of identities at low cost, there will be spam and worse. No good answers there. China has this fixed, but they don't do anonymity. You need a government ID to connect to anything.

Storage is the big cost problem. Where does all this stuff go, and who pays for it? IPFS was supposed to be the distributed answer to this, and Filecoin was supposed to be the way to pay for it. That didn't work out. On the other hand, if someone wants it out there, then maybe they have to pay to store one copy.

Delivery can be distributed, but do you want to? Bittorrent was the prototype. Peertube is another peer to peer way to do it. Each video has a home server, and large numbers of people watching the same thing won't overload it because anyone watching the video also serves it. It works OK but is not as smooth an experience as YouTube. Plus it runs down your battery and runs up your bandwidth usage. Bandwidth is much cheaper in data center bulk than out at the end of a cell connection. Maybe do something like that but with ISP level caching servers, all serving each other. Sort of like Cloudflare / Akamai.
I don't really have a horse in that race... it seems like a reasonable idea, but I don't think we're anywhere close to having the tools to confirm/deny it, or even to just observe what's going on with enough fidelity to make a guess.

My view of neuroscience is that we're decently good at figuring stuff out at the very very low level (e.g. behavior of complex molecules, classification of cell types and basic low level functions), and at the very high level (e.g. "this region is responsible for speech"), but haven't really made the right breakthroughs for figuring out the mid level (e.g. "how exactly does this ball of 50 million neurons perform its function, architecturally"). This theory seems to lie in that middle area.
The post is a collection of rambling thoughts.

It's worse than that. That spreadsheet was created after FTX became insolvent. When Sequoia invested, they probably didn't even have something as good as that terrible spreadsheet.

Or more charitably, Sequoia presented with something more professional looking, but completely incorrect.
(disclaimer: I work on Flutter Web)

It's mostly about algorithmic trade-offs. When you know your content layout is static and is highly biased towards vertical scrolling, you take different kinds of performance trade-offs, such as pre-computing and caching layout and painting output. Like when you know your array is sorted, you can use binary search to find an element instead of scanning. When pages do invalidate HTML layout you will actually see very bad jank. This is one of the classic performance pitfalls on the web, even using "classic" frameworks, like React or Angular. Flutter's current widgets and rendering primitives are biased towards dynamic content, where over-computation like this would hurt performance when you layout or paint isn't stable. Instead, we optimize for volatile content, using tricks like lazy rendering and repaint boundaries. We can still add primitives needed to render static content efficiently. We just feel like we're not yet sufficiently done with the non-static case.

That's why I talked about hybrids - ICEs have slim efficiency area, add breaking lossess and you get to that number. But put it in a hybrid and you can run it at near-max efficiency most of the time and don't waste that much in breaking.

I'm a Retool user and going to try writing a script now...

Edit: hmmm, it's pretty hard. I was trying to export a pretty simple app but it looks like there's a ton of features not supported here. (I guess it's pretty hard to build a full development environment with GUIs.) For example, I have a simple table in Retool where I'm doing inline editing. Unfortunately Openblock's table is read-only. So I guess I'll have to manually add a form. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to easily add validations to the form, and it seemed a bit buggy when submitting it too (maybe not properly debouncing?). Also, it looks like the permissioning system is much more rigid, and doesn't support, for example, showing different things in the app depending on the user group?

Looking forward to seeing it mature, but it does feel like there is a lot of surface area. I've tried a few other OSS builders, and I think Retool still comes out ahead when it comes to building actual production use cases. Like another comment said, I do wonder whether there will ever be a true OSS version? Seems like everything is "free for now, will charge for enterprise features later". At that point you might as well just use Retool, since the product is a lot better?

It’s great to see more options out there, though...
Many states in the US have such a points system.

I think he makes some good points, especially about how a lot of things really should be libraries. I'm also not sure I really understand the semantics of it all though. Because what is a color microservice? Something you call to get a color? Do organisations actually make stuff like that? That's wild.

I can only speak for the places that I have worked, but I think that what he calls an "App" is what would likely get called a "Microservice" in a lot of places.

There are a lot of people who already work at McDonalds or Walmart that watched FTX's super bowl commercial and knew about the "whole crypto thing" that, too, are wiped out.

I'm enjoying this shit as much as anybody but unsophisticated people are certainly feeling this right now.
hello! i am taking this as valuable feedback and would improve the website more! like you suspected, this is more of a project ive been building to solve problems ive been facing and didnt really do much publicity hence the website could definitely use some more love!
Fully agree. Hobbyist moderators currently do moderation at-will. They may have a day job, go on a holiday, and of course they sleep. Without having several moderators across time zones, everything you said might become an existential issue, especially on larger and open instances.

And to add insult to injury, better anti-harassment features are near impossible to implement because of the nature of federation. Other instances may run an older version, or simply chose to ignore your new rules.

If and when Mastodon grows to the size as becoming interesting for many mass scale harassment attacks, the only logical way out is to disable the federation part more and more. Which means you basically end up with tiny centralized bubbles. For which you could have simply created a subreddit or Discord, for free.

Hotels and boarding houses do make an imposition on their surrounding communities. Having taxes and zoning requirements on them to compensate for that is reasonable, and most of AirBNB's "edge" comes from violating those laws.

I'm no fan of Elon's recent antics but a $160k advertising spend doesn't strike me as a "bunch" for a major corporation.
These failures point to why trustless public ledgers (blockchains) were invented.

Exchanges that run on them (DEXes like Uniswap, Bisq, ShapeShift, etc.) are completely transparent, providing no room for the kind of information asymmetry which is required for frauds like FTX.
I'm not familiar with that approach, but it appears to be in the same design space (but not the same design). I'd examine both if you have time.
Both dead!
In a way, that that is _notable_ today is evidence that the dot-com advertising problem _isn't_ notable today. In 1999 that would be just What You Did, and not really worthy of comment.

yes -- browser permission model needs to be much more granular

would be great if something like ublock is only able to disable dom elements, not insert them, for example, and has strong guarantees about not doing IO

users are much more able to audit permissions than to audit changing code

but permissions need to be 'shaped like' APIs or else they are too broad to provide power + safety together

I've never had much of a problem with that, Latin tenses have the perfect vs imperfect which maps pretty well to the ING ending in English and then past/present/future which maps well

One issue is that sometimes what's easy to say on Latin is a bit of a mouthful to say in English in a literal translation. But that's more of a, well you wouldn't express that thought the same way in English.
I saw this exchange a few hours ago. Pretty wild he got fired for correcting someone else's mistakes. It might seem trivial to confuse RPC with API calls to microservices (not sure why those were in scare quotes...?), but I mean they are meaningfully different. REST is not RPC. But whatever, what a wild time. And to the other person saying he "dunked" on Elon - not really, right? Apparently you can't challenge Elon at all. This is more like despotism than being a benevolent dictator for life.
I think FTX acted fraudulently rather than breaking a securities or banking law. They told users they were 1:1 and didn’t gamble with user deposits but did it anyway.

That was my first conclusion with that language after my first attempt. However on the second one, much later, i came to realize this language is an absolute marvel of carefully picked tradeofs, always in favor of simplicity and maintainability. Which for industry project is a must. Go footguns are pretty easy to spot and look « stupid » ( in the sense that other languages solve them elegantly).
In exchange, the really hard ones (such as overly complex concurrency patterns, or codebases made of layers upon layers or crappy abstractions) are extremely rare and need constant fighting against the language.
Apparently he is the sole software genius at a company filled with lazy millennials, so he will now single-handedly rebuild the platform, starting with throwing away 80% of the microservices and seeing what happens.

That's also how I repair my computers, so that checks out.
Email is still holding up, but realistically if Google, Microsoft and perhaps 2-3 other email hosts decided to collude and disallow any other email origins (let's say they would allow outgoing to them still) the majority of people's reaction to those complaining would be "just get yourself a gmail account".
One of those appears to be the SMS verification one.
You are right, but this is the internet, and the official website for the city is https://www.muenchen.de/, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That! Clojure is an elegant experiment with immutability. The implementation details of Clojure's datastructures are a pure joy to look at. JVM is an unfortunate choice as I see it, but it's a pretty solid system which is benefiting from decades of research on JIT, GC, etc, so not entirely unreasonable as a back-end.

I have few good things to say about Python, other than it sort of works. I classify it in the big-sack-of-stuff languages, along with Perl and shells. Not much elegance or style.
Before covid, I think the "hippy dippy" vegan, naturepath, yogi stereotype was associated most strongly with anti vaxxers.

Covid was politicized, and so it became a right wing stereotype to not want the vaccine. But specifically the covid vaccine. I don't think most right wing anti-covid-vaxxers are anti vax in general.
