Which is quite respectable, but still nevertheless a far cry from the presumable 60M+ iops the server would have using dram (if it scales linearly, which I doubt, it would hit 70M). Also, DRAM gets quite close to those numbers with only around 2 times as many threads as dram channels, but that NVMe setup will likely need parallelism of at least 100 to reach that - maybe much more.

Still, a mere factor 7 isn't a _huge_ difference. Plenty of use cases for that, especially since NAND has other advantages like cost/GB, capacity, and persistence.

But it's also not like this is going to replace dram very quickly. Iops is one thing, but latency is another, and there dram is still much faster; like close to 1000 times faster.

I've worked with teams writing PHP, Python, C++, Java and Go. Every engineer complained that all the code they didn't write was shit. In all other languages, the engineers are blamed. But in PHP, for some reason, it's the the language's fault.

Do you honestly believe that "mass-produced" furniture is anywhere near the same quality as DIY?

Ikea - Where you can buy a bookshelf which will not be able to hold the weight of books.

Even assuming it's not already too late for that: what could they do? NK is already sanctioned to the max. And the few leavers that they can still pull probably wouldn't be enough to stop them at this point.

This would be a world-class feat of engineering, which would also require that Twitter hire a set of engineers entirely different than the ones they have. It's difficult to see how they'd pull this off successfully.
This looks like something Euclidian / Unlimited Detail promised 10 years ago
As software has become easier and faster to write, the demand for it has only increased, and salaries have gotten higher and higher.

I see no reason this couldn’t happen for animation. Studios demand more immersive, interactive experiences that require more and more detail. More animated content is generated. Every marketing team now needs 3D animators to make social media content, etc.

This seems like the logical progression and doesn’t necessarily result in a loss of jobs.
Meh. Whatevs.

I use PHP, whenever I write server code. My main bailiwick is native Apple software (Swift, usually UIKit/WatchKit/AppKit).

PHP works great. Very fast, easy to provision, and has a massive stdlib, with lots of industry best practices, built in.

That said, I don't like writing in the language, and try to keep my incursions into the backend, as brief as possible (I just wrote a new server, to replace one written in Python/Django that had fallen down -took me about two weeks).

I am quite sure that there's a ton of folks that are far better on the server end, than I am (even in PHP). I don't care. They aren't stepping up to the bat for me, so I have to do it, myself.

But PHP has always delivered, and delivery is important to me. I knew a manager, once, that said "Shipping is the most important feature of the product!".
I’m choosing to interpret this as

Musk says “Twitter signups”, at all-time high; touts features of ‘everything app’.

I loved playing with those weights as a kid. Their funny shape and hefty weight made them into interesting characters. The spline themselves were definitely off limits to my little hands, though.

One thing the article doesn't mention is that splines were also made out of clear plastic, not just wood. This made them more bendable and durable, I believe, and it was nice to be able to see through them when positionning them.
The CPU architecture of the VM and Host have to match, otherwise you get software emulation which is very very slow. It's good enough for occasional usage, but nowhere near good enough for daily development purposes.
This hasn't been true for a long time now. The cost of housing has far outpaced wages and even houses in and around smaller cities sell for high prices because they're catering to those software developers working remote but wanting to live somewhere near society.

Considering I'm in my 30s and have been working in a software job and cannot afford a home, I strongly suggest reevaluating your metrics.

I don't really care about the security aspects of the language (cool, but not earth-shattering), but I love seeing little passion-project langs like this. I have been doodling a language design for about a year now, and this one is eerily similar in some ways, and totally different in others. I dig it.
This is a very insightful observation; thanks for making it here.
I've heard this incredible and awesome story a few times, but the detail I noticed this tim was that the architect responsible was Kurt Vonnegut, but sadly not that Kurt Vonnegut, who was 8 at the time.
For real world use cases like making cross-platform builds, 1/4 of native speed is pretty far from decent.
You’re right, it uses the same array 500 times and then runs an outer loop (with a new array each time) 5 times.
Glad you like it.
sounds like you just need more confidence in yourself. This doesn't need to be "norm" worldwide or even company wide for you to start doing it. All it takes is for you to have the will to decide that this is something you want and are going to do.

I stopped writing PHP around 2014.

I don't know if this is still true, but the impression I got at the time was that PHP is constantly trying to catch up with more advanced languages. There was no case I could point to and say "PHP is the best choice for this".

If I want to write a highly concurrent distributed system I'll reach for Elixir/OTP. If I want high performance, I'll reach for C or Rust. If I'm working on a data science project, I'll reach for Python or R. When is PHP the language to go to?
This article doesn't touch much about why plumbing is hard. I'm from Poland so I'm not only IT but also a plumber ;)

Plumbing is hard because it is not forgiving. It's as binary as IT except you can learn the outcome with some delay, once you learnt about a damage caused by a leak. Either you do a pressure tests right or repair can be expensive. And bugfixing is always tricky.

Water also goes down whether you like it or not. Think about all possible leaks inside the shower cabin. Or what is even more impressive that under a pressure the water goes everywhere possible.

Plumbing is similar to electrical engineering, except it usually doesn't kill immidiately (though working with gas is tricky anyway) but requires similar strict mental model to do right.

And when you see a plumber it seems like this person is just a physical worker. So work status misconception must be leveled with money...

When I had to do some plumbing I found that everything was undocumented. One source would tell you to refer to the documentation published by the manufacturer of the fitting, which is of course impossible to find.

> divers are trained to breath out during an emergency swimming ascent

To add a little more detail to this. You should ascend as slow as you can given the emergency situation but gently hum out your air rather than breath out. This slows it so you avoid the panic of empty lungs when not near the surface and also allows air to escape if it’s expanding quicker than you are humming :)
> Even if that was true (it isn't)

So if your nation suddenly declared that men were (for example) required to cover their faces at all times and stay indoors unless escorted by a woman, you'd respect that cultural point of view and not protest?

If you're going to say that that's not a matter of violating your "human rights," but just the rights that you think people should have, please explain how those are different things.
Or maybe, just maybe, after 25 years and multiple changes of leadership it's not the same company. I'd be curious to see how many employees from the mid 1990s are left. There are murderers walking around today that had shorter sentences.

This process is completely orthogonal to automation though. You could just as well have done this in 1822. If demand is minimal because the population is poor automation isnt necessary to kill off jobs.

The oligarchs who try to concentrate wealth will still try to scapegoat AI via mass media though, along with Mexicans, boomers, etc. or (historically), Jews.

Imho, Rust is not hard as in "high complexity hard", but it is hard as in "must practice to get good at".

All the little rules and new concepts add up and in the beginning it can be frustrating to have the compiler complaining. On the plus side, it's like a motorcycle - it doesn't take long to drive it safely & efficiently.

Learning Rust is fun, I wholeheartedly suggest it even if you don't end up using it at work.

You already can get part of the way there by desigining your own FPGA board (I believe there are some Lattice chips with an open-source toolchain, otherwise the toolchain is closed). On top of that you can run your RISC-V CPU and the other components you need to create a working SoC, with all the RTL under your control. Custom silicon in our hands would be quite a stretch though.

Depends - at what level does the result become "good enough"? I suspect that with animation we are still far away from this, so the expert "AI prompters" and those who can fix the results will be in high demand. It takes a lot of know-how to be able to tell what is wrong with some animation.

I also remember my time at Yahoo! where he repeatedly expressed his disdain of frameworks on the internal mailing lists. Yahoo! heavily relied on PHP but did not have a web development framework. Rasmus's intent for each developer was to start from scratch every single time. Result was a much steeper learning curve, significantly lower efficiency, and plethora of security issues that a framework would typically mitigate behind the scenes. By the time Yahoo! adopted Symfony (~2009), it was way too late in my opinion.
I think this is probably too limited a view. My guess is that animation becomes more like photo-editing. There are still experts who do it professionally and push the boundaries of the form, but it’s also a skill that’s expected for marketing jobs, graphic designers, web devs, etc.
The short run is by far the most important thing.

"php" == 0

That evaluates to true if you're using PHP prior to v8.0.0. A good example of why you almost always want to use strict comparisons (===).
KISS (keep it simple stupid), read lots of other people's code and see if you can understand it and if not what would you change? Adam Savage frequently mentions a trick for makers that I think applies here: What would the future you think about that code? Would they feel nice having something extensible and not too complicated or be upset that the code works but is a mess to extend and fix?
Anecdotally: leave and never speak to them again.
Interesting. I'd go the other way. Continue using single-character bitwise operators, but spell out "and" and "or" for the logical operators.

Rationale: in normal usage, short-circuiting logical operators are, in effect, a special kind of control flow statement, and control flow statements are typically spelled out. Bitwise operators are more unequivocally meant for calculation, and therefore perhaps more deserving of similar syntax to the arithmetic operators, despite their less frequent usage.

I think that this way of drawing the distinction might be particularly relevant in a language that disallows conditional branching - and, by extension, short-circuiting logical operations - on certain kinds of data the way Rune does.
Unless you know something I don't, foreigners need to get a work permit and usually a residency permit or long-stay visa to take a job. They need to find a job and get the employer to sponsor the visa/permit. Most countries have age and education requirements depending on the kind of job, i.e. Netherlands and Canada skilled worker visas. The process can take months. Some countries will only issue work permits and visas to foreigners before they enter the country.

Looking for work while visiting on a tourist visa or visa waiver may violate the terms of the tourist visa/visa waiver, depending on the country. Many countries explicitly forbid using a tourist visa (like the 90 day Schengen visa waiver U.S. citizens get on arrival) for purposes of employment or seeking employment. Likewise tourists from Spain, Netherlands, Canada, etc. cannot come to the US as tourists and look for jobs. Enforcement of that rule probably weak, granted.

American citizens taking jobs in other countries will get paid lower salaries than they would for the same job in the US. Sometimes much lower. And US citizens must still pay US taxes regardless of where the live and work. US medical insurance rarely covers care overseas.

The salary differential alone probably explains why many more European and Canadian citizens look for jobs in the US, while relatively few Americans work for foreign companies overseas. Add in the hassles and restrictions with a spouse or partner, children, pets.

In the workplace English may rule, but Americans will struggle with language in every other context. Americans who have lived/worked overseas frequently report language problems as their reason for not staying. Probably no accident that the UK and Canada attract the most American foreign employees.

I have US citizenship and have worked in the UK with a work permit, which cost the employer a significant amount to obtain and required a lot of paperwork. I had to wait in the US for the visa. I have freelanced from many countries for US companies and met Americans working or trying to work overseas, the process ranges from easy to impossible, depending on the person's skills, education, connections, patience. I know that very few foreign jobs pay as much as the same job in the US, especially in tech/software.
RSUs have a strike price of $0 kind of by definition. And they're income when the restriction lapses, and that's complex when the stock is illiquid, so that's not ideal (sometimes, there's a dual restriction with time and liquidity, but that's messy as well)

Stock options could have a strike price of whatever, but tax favored stock options need to be granted at fair market value. Granting non-favored options away from FMV needs to be treated as immediate income, which is messy.

Or fusion and flying cars are 20 years away. Some predictions come true. Plenty of others don't. The web was going to replace brick and mortar stores in the late 90s, and books and magazines were going no longer going to be printed in the 2010s, which still hasn't come true, even though a lot of shopping is done online and digital material is read now. Which is probably a better kind of prediction for how things will play out. More stuff gets automated by AI, but people still have jobs using those AI tools, since automation leads to doing more things.

This is exactly what happened to me. I have more borderline traits than straight up narcissism, but they share in common that incredibly self-centered personality core and need for external validation. Kind of like two ways of expressing the same gene.

I was treated for a long time like I had anxiety and depression in therapy. But therapy just allowed me to go on and on about my problems and got a lot of tips and tricks about my mood, but they were all just papering over the core issue which is that I trap myself in situations I don’t like and then feel like I can’t leave because then I’d be all alone.

Through a fluke I ended up changing therapists to someone who got their thesis studying narcissism. She was the first person pretty much in my whole life who would cut through my b.s. and tactfully push back. Suggesting there might be more colors to situations than my distorted vision would let me see.

Now when I see someone else with unchecked narcissism it really bothers me because I know what kind of hell they must experience internally. It still hurts, but I’d like to think I’m starting to be more self aware.

Wow, do people have this "joke" as an auto-reply?

To put this quote in context, over the last decade, a lot of legacy PHP features were deprecated and removed. Some in the community were opposed, and wanted Rasmus Ledorf to ape Linus Torvalds and reject the changes. His comment here was him explicitly saying he wasn't precious about the original design, and welcomed the changes.

The most annoying thing about PHP criticisms is people wheeling out these hackneyed old articles and quotes that don't say anything at all.
