While true, what Amazon is doing doesn't really resemble the consolidation we're seeing in other companies. Amazon isn't so much consolidating in any one industry as they are trying to make a play in every industry. As far as I know they're the only ones doing this, and I wouldn't count it as part of the overall trend towards consultation because it's not clear that existing antitrust laws could be leveraged against them at all.

Nostr, Love at First Sight
My initial impressions on Nostr, a head-to-head comparison of Nostr and Mastodon/ActivityPub, and how Zaps could revolutionize social media.
The other consequence, however, is that Go coroutines only work with other Go code, and bespoke Go threads and stacks require the runtime to jump through a lot of hoops to do FFI correctly, with the result that the ecosystem tends to rewrite rather than reuse existing code in C and other languages.

In contrast, the approach with explicit promises and await can be mapped all the way down to a C struct with a function and a data pointer representing a callback. That is, it is C ABI compatible, and thus it can be easily composed across any boundary that respects that ABI.
One unfortunate side effect of referral bonuses is that they don't really help increase diversity since employees are most likely to refer friends from their existing social circles. I didn't realize that at first!

Speaking of this, my employer provided healthcare (Aetna) refused (according to Costco) to fill my existing prescription at Costco after messaging me that they would like to transfer it to CVS (which Aetna now owns). They'll allow it if I call them, but it was jarring.

On a more pedantic note, This general platitude has always bothered me because for all our technological advancements, it's not, at its core, true. Thanos snap your fingers and get rid of every human, and what happens to technology? ChatGPT isn't going to upload itself into the best Boston Robotics model on the market and ensure continuity of electronics manufacturing. The march might be inevitable because 8 billion humans can't agree on anything, but it is still a choice. Small pockets of people have in fact opted out of that march; maybe more will in the future, or maybe "we" collectively decide that such a path is for the best.

Vindication is a dish best served cold, I suppose. It honestly would not surprise me if more people are looking at that document with fascination as of late.
The exact mechanism of employee compensation here doesn't matter. Either the tech worker pays $30+6 tip for a meal and the server makes $10, or the tech worker pays $36 with no tip for a meal and the server is paid more and still makes $10, it doesn't matter. The point is that a restaurant needs a large number of rich clientele in order for the restaurants' employees to make a lot of money.
No, we don't do that. Most children would die without some kind of care, but we don't put them in prison if their parents are criminals. We make sure they are cared for by someone else.

(The systems for that are in terrible shape too, but that's a separate issue.)
I would like to delve into the compatibility with tree-sitter, since in other features tree-sitter being under the hood is mostly an implementation detail:

If I were to write my parser using rust-sitter, would I be able to still generate the final standalone tree-sitter parser as a `.so`? That way I could integrate with tools supporting tree-sitter parsers (for instance https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter#language-...) without having to write the `.js` grammar?

What advice would you give to someone who is considering investing in real estate for the first time? What are some important factors I should consider before making a purchase?

Also, given the potential risks and complexities involved in real estate investing, don't you think it's less worrisome to just invest in stocks?

Thanks again for sharing your expertise on this topic!
Linearity of expectation is of course true in general, but in this case summing the expectations of the individual transition probabilities is only valid because the only valid state transitions are going from state i -> i+1 (owning i unique toys to i+1 unique toys) or just staying in state i. If you could magically go from state i to any other state (you lose unique toys or gain more than one unique toy), then this simple calculation would not be correct.
Go's context object is used for cancellation. I think this is pretty simple and has the benefit of avoiding any type of exception handling while still giving you the ability to clean up anything you were doing.

In general, if you like Kotlin, I can see why you'd like their approach to concurrency. Kotlin really likes a large standard library with generic blocks that act as syntactic sugar. I used to like that too, but as I've gotten older I've gotten lazier. Kotlin now how too much mental overhead for my old brain.
An employer that not only requires years and years of primary, secondary and tertiary education, the majority of your waking hours, the responsibility to deliver what you promised and all the pain and stress that implies, but on top of all that, requires you to be passionate about the whole thing sounds like hell on earth to me.

Employment is a transaction. You get my honest effort, experience and an amount of time agreed upon beforehand. In return I get money so I can live the life I want. That's the end of it.

The reason you give is also how I understand it to work. There usually comes a point where I would think I should have had another spasm but none came, and shortly after that is when I release my breath. It works very reliably; I cannot remember a time when it failed to get rid of hiccups.

"Commenting out" is often meant informally, not to be taken literally.

Your debugger may not work with a multithreaded program. Or it might cause the bug to disappear because it changes scheduling/execution order. Printf is more reliable in this context.

Or they may be debugging hardware, which the debugger can't step into. Or debugging object code without symbols.

Or they may be debugging a distributed system with remote code execution and asynchrony.

Or they may be debugging a language that doesn't have an execution stack.

Or they may be debugging an issue that only happens in production or customer machines that they can't access directly.

Or they may be debugging an issue that only happens very rarely, longer than the patience of a programmer to wait for a breakpoint.

Debuggers are one tool we have available, but hardly the only tool, and definitely not a complete tool.
Hard take which is pretty much unpalatable to HN crowd: If I had a small dev shop, I would put out an hiring ad that says you must drop off your resume in person and we will only hire people from 50 mile radius.

Like they used to do in 1970's.

Not a fan of: 1) Global pool of candidates 2) Leet code bullshit 3) Remote work

Fan of 1) Permanent hiree after 3 months of time with us. 2) You will be part of our family, we'll build great things together 3) You'll get a decision when you visit us. Just drop by, no appointment necessary. We'll make time. 4) If you get rejected, we’ll tell you in the most honest way possible. No HR bullshit talk.
It is tough balance between "humanizing" and trying to be fair and unbiased when reviewing candidates.

I think this is where small companies really have a huge advantage over larger companies, and they should be taking advantage of it!

Whereas I find nothing pleasant about my night-time drives through the suburbs of Bellevue. I spend the entire drive paranoid that someone's going to cross the street, and that I won't even see them until they are right in front of me.

I think every time I have seen Ivermectin come up on Hackernews, there's at least a few comments insisting on the make-believe, too. It's a very clear example of how no community's members - even our comment section literati - are automatically immune to bandwagoning conspiracy theories. They're not all green usernames, they're often people with a long comment history who I'm sure are considered informed, smart people at their jobs. Yet they show up to insist a big medicine conspiracy is the reason they've been told not to self-medicate COVID19 with anti-parasite drugs.

> "designing the [search] to maximize engagement" as it comes to the law

I don't think the law has a definition for that term. I think it's -- probably correctly -- up to judges (and/or juries, depending on the type of case) to weigh intent and decide if a search engine to be liable for the results it produces.

This idea that "doing literally anything is an evil engagement maximizer" seems too simplistic for how the world actually works.
It may be a compromise, but what exactly makes it "useless"? A similar style of async has been in use in e.g. C# for over a decade now, and it has been very successful there. Yes, it is syntactic sugar - but so are e.g. lambdas. What matters in practice is that it makes some kinds of code much shorter and easier to read.

> For instance, before the election stuff is dismissed as “no injury” after the election it’s “no way to rectify”.

Are there cases where the same plaintiff got the same claims dismissed before an election due to lack of injury-in-fact issues and after due to lack of remedy? Off the top of my head, there weren't such cases - pre-election challenges and post-election challenges were generally by different plaintiffs who brought different claims, so dismissals due to standing or laches can make perfect sense.

Also, did you mean the doctrine of laches by "no way to rectify"? They're technically two distinct issues - the latter is a prong for standing (along with injury-in-fact), and the former was not an uncommon sight in post-election challenges.
Have you called a local urgent care facility? I don’t think I’ve ever paid more than $150 for a visit out of pocket (no insurance) even when I got X-rays for broken ribs. You can charge it to a credit card if you need to and figure out reimbursement from your insurance later.
One of the thing that blows my mind is that Nixon unilaterally declared a price and wage freeze in an attempt to combat inflation. Ignoring whether it was a good or bad move, I can't imagine what would happen if Biden did that today. There would be bloodshed.

Thankfully, inflation isn't bad enough to warrant any drastic action like that.

This is probably true but in my experience most libertarians are just bigots who think wrapping themselves in a freedom cloak shields their bigotry from criticism.

Thinking more there is probably a great deal of overlap between the people who fit my definition of libertarianism and those who fit yours.

Could you tell me how this compares with other open-source session replay projects such as:

Agree. A consumer camera might advertise too many megapixels, while more professional cameras, like medium format cameras (the ones used for architecture, for instance) do not distort it so much.

In this, it is like the node size. It is not directly comparable but gives a reference to talk about.

To say that there is a link between continued usage and inheritance of a genetic characteristic is Lamarckism.

Lamarckism, also known as Lamarckian inheritance or neo-Lamarckism, is the notion that an organism can pass on to its offspring physical characteristics that the parent organism acquired through use or disuse during its lifetime.

That's not the only difference. Coroutines also typically don't have nearly as many concurrency hazards because you can control when you yield.
Of course! It was hugely influential on my thinking/approach to problem solving under uncertainty/adversity.

And yeah the other commenter provided a link but there is no actual recording of this exact transcript -- the ones that I found on YouTube just frankly are not quite as good as this one (which is why this one has been preserved, I assume)

Sometimes the transcriber missed a question or you need to fill in the blank yourself a bit (which I think actually meshes perfectly with the content of the talk!), but it's worth it!

The rich can buy more reducing supply, raising prices.

Rich industrialists buy up raw materials, package it, and sell it leaving less raw material (or lightly refined like flour from wheat, sugar from cane) for the masses to get cheap.

We pay to cover the industrial cost of the work to package cereal rather than the cost of flour and sugar.

It’s simple arithmetic and a bunch of philosophy, platitudes, and euphemisms justifying it.

Google’s quantum computer hits key milestone by reducing errors
The article says "The first demand of organized labor was 10 hours - the 10-hour movement. " This is at best wildly misleading. The first demands for 10 hours was not for 10 hours labour, but for 8 hours work broken up with 2 hours for meals, and that dates back to the late 1700's. And the demands for the 8 hour day then became prominent at a time where 12, 14 or even 16 hours, and 6 day work weeks was still not uncommon.

It then implies that the 8 hour work day then suddenly came about after "businesses begin studying how to increase worker productivity. And they start to find a downside to even the 10-hour day."

But by the time Ford made his change, it had been one of the key rallying cries of organised labour had been demanding for a century, and Owen had tried it at New Lanark a century before, and Ford was by no means the first, just one of the most high profile.

It's a common trend in the US of trying to write unions out of the history of the eight hour day. People died fighting for the eight hour day. Pinkerton - who to this day are involved in anti-union efforts - and police more than once shot workers demonstrating for it.
Good point.

Although doesn't that defeat the purpose of structured concurrency?

i.e. creating tasks that are plumbed to some background thread/executor.

By directly invoking the coroutine, lifetime issues become much easier to avoid.
Do you have a citation for kernel mode having more efficient context switches? What kind of direct hardware access are you referring to that would be better than pushing the register context onto the stack?

In my experience, the exact opposite is true, particularly in the era of CPU mitigations that require TLB flushes upon every kernel-mode context switch.
