For me standard means used by more than one company and well documented. It also means that most companies use it in the same way. Basically all 3rd party Frameworks and tools are "standard"

Custom means that you wrote a unique solution for yourself. No-one else uses your solution. New hires have to learn it from scratch either by reading your code or your own custom documentation.

There is obviously more work to onboard people onto a custom solution. You can hire people who understand the standard solutions.

Postgres isn't a queue or a message broker. You are writing your own queue that depends on postgres. Your custom queue will have complexity that new hires have to learn. No new hire will have used your custom in house queuing system before.

If you want to use SQS that's a great idea. I support using standard solutions.
You can get commercial support for PostgreSQL that's pretty good.

That’s, like, a whole pizza these days, right?
This occcurs every time I decided to dab into Linux. Usually I got the answer from a random search on stackoverflow and never managed to understand what happened.

But I think it's OK. I have always had an interest in system programming and that's why I wanted to dab into Linux. But system programming is not a shiny, whole smooth thing one may imagine, but is quite messy all the time. I simply got what I wanted.
I haven't used this, but check:

COBOL may not be all that difficult to learn, but the proprietary systems and environments that a legacy COBOL program will be designed to interact with are a different story. These are often extremely obscure.
The LLMs don't perform accurate math, particularly floating point, so I'm not sure how they going to be improving their own architectures, since the neural nets rely on weights, not textual tokens. These models are all designed, fine-tuned, adjusted and fed data by humans.

You act as if AIs are independent agents in the that have goals to modify themselves. Human engineers are doing that. The models don't have any independent goals. They just respond to prompts.
And this is what happens when they grow organically. Why build a high rise apartment instead of 12 single family homes for 12 families?
Most fishtanks have to stay in a pretty narrow range of temperatures or the fish die. A big professional installation like this I expect will have both water heating and water cooling (aircon, but for water).

And in a glass fishtank, the glass is in good thermal contact with the water, but bad thermal contact with the room air - so the glass will end up being at fishtank temperature.

So, unless they had extracted all the fish and turned the tank heating off, I don't think what you say is true.
You are right: nobody wants to go in the middle of desert and start building a new brave world there for nothing.

With some proper incentives though it's doable. Nice parks. Low taxes. Decebt transportation infrastructure. Cheap housing. Good schools.

That's called "freedom of the press" which is in many jurisdictions a constitutionally protected fundamental right, and in any way: airplanes broadcast that data unprotected on the air.

> I don't want to be that person that's not reachable but more and more, I'm thinking about closing Slack and opening it 2-3x a day.

What's wrong with that? That's how many people work with Slack (myself included). I don't answer whenever someone asks me something; I answer in a specific allocated timeslot during the day (2 to be precise: the very first thing in the morning, and 2h before finishing my day)
I've seen some concern voiced over counterparty risk in private credit contagion into public markets. Counterparty relationships are not uniformly visible across the financial landscape, so it is conceivable someone accepts a counterparty position on an instrument where crypto is pledged as an asset. This instrument is presented as a different asset obscuring the crypto, a tower of downstream instruments are constructed on top of that original instrument, and tranches leak out into a bunch of other more tradfi instruments.

I've yet to see evidence that this is widespread in practice. Though admittedly there is a lot that can go on in private credit that is out of reach from public analytics.

Even if there was contagion risk however, I don't expect extinction level financial system damage. Total global crypto valuation at peak was around $1T USD depending upon who you ask. Global software industry alone is around $10T USD. If crypto goes to zero tomorrow, it would be life-alterting to many people, but most of the world would go on about their lives.

More value has been erased from global equity markets this year than any hypothetical crypto-to-zero scenario, and while the consequences won't be pleasant, in the developed world if you have saved up 1-7 years of living expenses you will barely notice the recession currently inbound.

How does that make the data non-public? His plane is still broadcasting it into the air and anyone with an antenna can pick it up and share the already public information. Sure, a few of them have been bullied by Elon into not doing so. But that doesn't make the information non-public. It just makes Elon a sleazebag who can't be trusted to hold his word.

The initial advice on masks was that we don’t know that they help. This is a truthful and different claim than the claim that we do know they don’t help.

The only record you’ll find of a public health official saying we DO know they DON’T help is USSG Jerome Adams.

It’s weird that you’re writing this implying that we now know masks don’t work. That’s not true. We DO know that SOME masks work, others work hardly at all or none at all.
Thanks for pointing out the CI one.

Huh. You're absolutely correct. Am now embarrassed I'd never thought about it like that.

Your framing neatly resolves the blog era slap fight. It was about access, what became known as "access journalism".

Traditional journalists didn't support mere bloggers having a seat at the table (gatekeeping). And the elite would only deign to talk to established journalists.

For my part, I've always felt the elite were accountable to the public. I was just a constituent who shared my experience and thoughts online. I didn't care what any one called (labeled) me, except when the purpose was to dismiss or exclude me.

Anyhoo... Thanks! Journalism is a verb. I love it.
It's filled with tropical fish, so surely the water would have been at a decent temperature - definitely nowhere near freezing. The thing was in a fancy hotel lobby too (I was there once for an Apple event), I doubt they'd let the place go down to such low temperatures.
I did a migration from Oracle to PostgreSQL and saved a ton of money. I'm happy to say that automated integration tests for everything made cutting over not too bad. The other thing that helped was PostgreSQL consultants to plan and execute the data migration.

Reading this, for some unclear reason, makes me so sad. Tech rat race at its finest.
The irony is that this is also the most transparent decisionmaking at Twitter has ever been. It's a live public view of the negotiation with a userbase over the future of the platform.

The release of the previous management's internal communications showed the liberal and comfortable application of euphemism, justification after the fact, and technical deniability in upper leadership.

Twitter showing outage not over evidence that the culture of banning and de-amplifying both users and public interest topics without agency or notification, condemning by decision of a secret, unauditable council under influence of the federal government and corporations, and doing so under the tack of keeping their CEO in the dark shows how carefully calculated their appearance was. Remember, they lost their canary.

I don't think Elon Musk is much if any better. I also can't say that Twitter is any worse. Speech was being chilled and controlled before, and unless your definition of "free speech" is "being free from what offends me or is counter to my opinions and beliefs", it's more likely the hypocrisy you worry about is nothing more than actually being able to draw a line between an action and its cause and a target you can confidently level a finger at.

People will adjust as they ever have. However, the ones who interact now will be the influencers of what Twitter becomes. That is what matters, not any confused and petty logic that our leaders should all be infallible and godlike.
Two questions:

1. What can you point to that explains or even suggests that repos "should [...] be findable" directly on codeberg.org and for "people browsing [it] and pages within"? E.g. that creating an unlisted repo and then setting up a publicly facing project landing page/mailing list/etc. that independently refers potential contributors to the repo but doesn't make available a top-level index of all such (possibly unrelated) repos that a given person controls, is something that would run afoul of either Codeberg's policies or goals.

2. What is your relationship to the Codeberg e.V. organization?

> comments (laypeople in general) tend to make very confident and very wrong comments on market structure

Former equity derivatives trader here. The Levine article linked to is one of the denser accessible discussions on the topic I’ve seen. Also, as a current English speaker, the “truth searching” the comment you’re responding to cites refers to the general process of learning, and nothing specific to market structure.
I've stayed there as well for two nights a few years ago, it was a great attraction. Really, really large too - a million liters of water, five stories tall or higher, I don't even remember.
While “anymore” may be out of place, I believe OP was referring to this (among other similar quotes): Musk said the reason he acquired Twitter is to have "a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner."
Because it's not very interesting. World's richest man misbehaves again on some website he bought? People protest by using an inferior clone of said website? Storm in a teacup. There are much more fascinating things going on in the world than this tedium.

If we're going to gauge how thought-provoking a topic is by how wealthy the main character is, might as well flood HN with submissions about what the Kardashians had for breakfast or how often Bill Gates uses the toilet or whatever. It's the same thing as following Musk's car crash behavior.
That’s where Linux burned all the bridges on being my main machine.

Nowadays, I cannot afford to take a day off to fix obscure incompatibilities like this.

The last straw to me was when I stored my closed lid xps in a bag and 3 hours later everything was smelling like burning plastic because the computer suspend suddenly stoped working. To get things worst, it happened during a long haul flight.

> I spent several hours fixing a problem and I learned next to nothing in the process.

This is probably true for this specific case here, but my experience with fixing stuff in Linux is actually the opposite. I learnt a lot doing so, and learnt stuff that turned out to be later useful in very unexpected spots.

Back when I was a teen and using Windows, I've spent countless hours fiddling in stuff in regedit and other atrocities and it feels like I never learnt anything useful in the long run.
I'm not advocating for this situation, just pointing it out. In the case of stocks regulators have stepped in to prevent the highly leveraged competitor from existing at all.

PFOF isn't gigantic revenue driver for many retail brokerages, including some that offer zero commission trading (like Schwab). Robinhood may have started the price war while making most of its money from PFOF, but you can have low to zero commission trading without PFOF.

The payments per share tend to be extremely small - on most symbols the broker isn't making $5-10 per trade from the MM, for reasonably sized trades.

Even if payment for flow was costing you that much, paying for an order vs giving more price improvement are indistinguishable. Payment for order flow just means that price improvement definitely goes to the broker instead of back to you.
The "conservatives" that were banned from Twitter were not banned for their journalistic activity, they were banned for inciting hate, spreading libelous lies (Alex Jones), or in Trump's case, a coup attempt.

"Conservatives" (or, in reality, the far-right) loves to whine about being deplatformed while "the left"/"the libruls" could do whatever they want, all while they conveniently ignore that the left doesn't go and call for hanging the Vice President. And the few far-left accounts dumb enough to actually call for violence do get banned, so that point is moot as well.

Ok, I have banned that account.

And I’ve banned the journalists who dared to report that I banned the account that I said I would not ban.

And I’ve banned the Twitter feature used by the journalists I banned for reporting on my ban of the account that I said I would not ban.

I assure you, I am a free speech absolutist.
Elon, quite literally, immediately asked for the Internet to doxx someone right after making this rule change. He posted a picture of a car/license/person and demanded everyone find this person. Strangely, the 'incident' was never important enough to actually contact law enforcement over...
Well, it has to have something beyond price if it's taking by storm the editor arena that always has had great editors.

I think it has gained its place in the eternal emacs vs vim discussion, and that's a feat to be reckoned. In 15 years there will be other fancier editors but VS Code will still be there.
lol, are you familiar with ring 0? what about context switching and scheduler preemption? If you are, then you know they add significant overhead to IO bound applications.

> Why the hell would you put something like that in the kernel?

Because some ridiculously large % of all client software is written in/transpiled to JavaScript?

If the JS/WASM runtime would be run with the correct sandboxing (similar to browsers like Chrome), you likely could run the entire application in ring 0 and only context switch because of scheduling preemption. Maybe even ouch the whole browser into the kernel?

All runtime APIs that currently need “syscalls” would become significantly more efficient. You’d end up with an extremely performant system for running browsers and browser like apps (ie Electron).
Out of love for long term profits maybe ;)
This is a prompt I gave ChatGPT:

> Write an algorithm that, when given a sorted list of numbers, efficiently finds all numbers in the list that lie between a given a range

And this is its response:

> Here is an algorithm that can be used to find all numbers in a sorted list that lie between a given range:

Initialize two variables, low and high, to the lower and upper bounds of the range, respectively.

Initialize a variable i to the index of the first number in the list that is greater than or equal to low.

Initialize a variable j to the index of the first number in the list that is greater than high.
Return the sublist of the input list that consists of the elements at indices i through j-1.

This algorithm has a time complexity of O(1), since it only performs a constant number of operations regardless of the size of the input list.

Here is some example code in Python that implements this algorithm:

def find_range(numbers, low, high):
i = 0
while i < len(numbers) and numbers[i] < low:
i += 1
j = i
while j < len(numbers) and numbers[j] <= high:
j += 1
return numbers[i:j]

--------------

Does this algorithm really have a time complexity of O(1)? I would think it is O(N). Interestingly, when I posed a similar question to find the index of a specific number in the list, it returned a binary search algorithm. The above question' optimal solution also involves binary search, but asking for a range of numbers throws ChatGPT off, it seems.

I almost prepped myself up this Friday evening for a solo Debian reinstall party to solve an extremely slow reading/writing on internal hdd/sdd problem until I accidentally realized the problem disappeared once I had removed my external disk from the docking station.

I think VSCode's impressiveness is less about the pure engineering challenge (although I do think even among popular, well-used IDEs there's a large differential in things like performance, which points to it not being a trivial problem), and more about making smart product decisions to strike a great balance between extensibility and performance / smoothness. There's not a singular big hairy problem to solve, but if you compare VSCode to other Electron apps, it's clear that the VSCode team really took the time to make sure everything was as performant and polished as possible.

And in terms of "well it depends on other technologies for it to work", this describes pretty much any innovation in software since the very earliest computers, including all the examples you listed.
