I see it as "systems programming" is building the "systems" that one later assembles into applications.

"Applications programming" is building user facing applications, mostly out of systems others have built.

e.g. I work for a company that makes a database. Even though I work in a higher level language (Julia), it's still systems development because it's concerned with systems-level concerns: building a system that is normally off the shelf, and being concerned with memory bandwidth, fragmentation, cache misses, etc.

And it's not that application level engineers don't have to be worried about these things. It's just a matter of degrees or emphasis.

When employed doing "application programming", I consider it bad practice to build systems from scratch. e.g. rolling your own queueing system or database when the real job is integration and solving the customer's business requirements.

I got sniped by this.

Normal jeans are homotopic to a cylinder with a point removed. Leg-sewn jeans are homotopic to a torus with a point removed. Both of these can be deformation retracted to a wedge of two circles (roughly: widen the puncture as far as you can).

I miss topology.
I have a Wells Fargo account because I came to the US as a grad student and they were signing people up for an account on campus on my first day.

Later on I came to know about their history but I have never really had any bad experiences myself to consider closing the account.
So it's the customer's fault?
> Am I the only one more shocked and outraged that Tesla's corporate email is bouncing mail saying it's full?

It would be hilarious if this happened because they sacked some admins who were also working at Twitter.
Another possibility: they implemented some sort of whitelist of known addresses at mail server level, so that some selected people can write to that address, while mails by others are bounced. However, a full mailbox doesn't make them look that professional, so I'm not sure about that.

To me, one difference often is how much you have available to build on. At least for some "systems programming", the answer is: Not much.

Take an OS, for instance. You can build on the other parts of the OS (if they exist yet, and/or if your layered architecture permits you to), and the bare metal. That's it. That's all you have.

Contrast that with writing an app on top of, say, a POSIX-compliant OS, and there's a huge difference in how you program. Sure, as other comments point out, there's a continuum of points between the two, but there also is a pretty stark difference between the ends of the spectrum.

Guessing a bit here, but the difference may more generally be that in application programming, you are more constrained by the logic and purpose of the application, and in systems programming, you are more constrained by the system. The app is more stand-alone, and the system is defined by the interaction of the components. From this perspective, it may be fair to think of a microservices architecture as "systems programming".
Would you just be splitting the payroll across two banks such that if either bank failed, you’d miss payroll for some employees?

Or doubling payroll reserves such that either bank could fail and you’d still make payroll?

I suspect there’s no real barrier to doing the first, but also not much benefit.
Why not just discount them? Shoes are shoes, I'm sure they'd sell.
Curious, why you picked 0.30/$ recovery. Just speculating?
Is your only Wells Fargo account, a checking account? I didn't think checking accounts had any impacts on credit scores? Or do you have a credit card with them?
I think I will go with a trackball. I will research some more, but the one you use looks interesting (horizontal positioning I mentioned before). I hope I will be able to map 4 keys under Linux Mint with Piper or something.
Is there an upper limit on the usable VRAM on Airs, or is it just tied to RAM size minus a bit for the OS? Just got a 24GB Air M2 and your comment made me wonder if it was capped at n amount of VRAM, or if it's just that Air's now can have 24GB of ram compared to 16GB with the M1 Airs?

After Silicon Valley Bank Fails, Tech Startups Race to Meet Payroll
No paywall: https://archive.is/gFo8C
Yeah, how is this different than black market trading (which happened a lot in ex-communist countries including mine, but the currency traded was usually German mark).
"Garry Tan, president and chief executive of Y Combinator, a startup accelerator in Silicon Valley, said many of its roughly 3,000 active companies had a relationship with Silicon Valley Bank. YC surveyed those companies Friday morning and by Friday afternoon, nearly 400 had said they had exposure and over 100 said they worried they couldn’t make payroll over the next 30 days without a quick resolution for the bank."

First off, the actual scientists, like the ones at the IPCC say climate change will only slow growth, it won’t ruin us.

Your point - is basically what most well off (and since you’re on HN I assume you’re better off than 80-90% of the world) are now saying about climate change, screw the poor, they need to have expensive energy, expensive food, and according to you no affordable housing. Why? Because you think the world will be ruined, because that’s what your media is telling you, and you haven’t even looked at the scientific facts on this.

You know, maybe you should give up all your possession and live on rice and beans for the next 10 years, knowing you’ve done your bit for the climate, and then see how you feel.

Edit: removed personal attack at the end. It was unnecessary.
It definitely seems to be done on purpose, but they didn't tell all their friends (David Sacks for example). For Thiel this was a win-win thing, his companies are all fine while hurting the competition and he gets to whine about government from new angles. Also quite in keeping with his soulless character

Sounds like a rookie programmer making something that just worked and then not being able to go back and do it properly.

Remember programmers, sometimes it's better just not to complete the task at all than it is to end up with a keylogger that management won't give you time to remove.

562? Great. Now give me a context for that. How many banks are there?

And, of those 562, in how many of them did the depositors lose money?
I'd guess their main work and IP at the moment revolves around the devops and autoscaling parts. Defer's main value proposition seems to be in the reduced workload on developers and their infrastructure team (if they have any).

If you are able to run and maintain a continuously integrated microservice on a kubernetes cluster (or something similar, maybe severless), then you really don't need Defer, as far as I understand it. There's already a lot of CI/CD and autoscaling open sourced.

I haven't tried it yet, but I guess most of the "runtime" is already open sourced, otherwise the background jobs can't run locally...

The same could have been said of SVB. And, surprise, they didn’t set aside a loss buffer equal to 5.6% of deposits either, just to cover that part of the portfolio, because that’s not feasible.

So the solution to crony capitalism that has been taken over by big corporations and lobbyists manipulating the government is…

More government.

Please explain the logic behind this. Surely the solution is smaller government, no lobbying or money in government at all?
Yup. you just have a claim on that institution. It not like holding stock or bonds
That only matters if you think that capability to be "bailed out" is legitimate in the first place. There is a pretty good argument to be made that allowing institutions to be "too big to fail" is directly enabling a lot of bad behavior, behavior that wouldn't happen if there was an understanding your bank can fail and you will not be compensated as a shareholder, only as a depositor under FDIC
I find your arguments on point, but his will, determination and sacrifice are just like steroids - means that enabled him to be competitive. It’s unfair not to mention his genetics as the most significant factor in his entire jouney.

Arnold‘s story is amazing, but he was surrounded with like minded people at least as much determined to achieve what he did, yet they never did come close to his heights.

There are examples of genetically predispositioned individuals in a lot of sports or competitive activities, and though amazing, we ought to differentiate pure will with blessings of nature, and celebrate the qualities that should be celebrated.

Arnold was a literal and figurative beast, no doubt in that.
I think because selling them has become politically toxic with Kanye’s recent behavior.

You need to wait until your bank commits fraud against you personally before you decide that a bank that commits fraud against its customers is something to be avoided?
LLaMA doesn't have any RHLF, human filtering / reinforcement training or any of the extra stuff that ChatGPT does. So the people saying that the LLaMA models are as good as GPT-3 are correct, but anyone saying it's as good as ChatGPT might be wrong.

The real issue here is that LLaMA has to have a lot more input and prompt engineering to get good answers. If you want it to know the correct year while answering you, you have to tell it that. "The current year is 2023, some prompt here..."

To me, it's "system software" when it's intended to be a building block for other software.

The important implication of this is that various potentially important requirements are unknown.

Performance, load, memory, scaleability, regulatory, security, platform, CPU, etc.

If you're successful, your users (developers of apps or higher-level systems) will be using your software in ways and for purposes you can only partially know.

You have to deal with that somehow.

Maybe you can design your software to be agnostic to a concern (e.g. if your protocol uses a TCP stream, your users can adopt SSL as needed).

Maybe you optimize for the concern as much as is feasible (this is why performance is such a concern for "systems programming languages... there is no acceptable level of performance, you want the performance overhead to be as small as feasible.

Maybe you miss a concern that is important to your potential users and fail.
Also edit to add:

we have pretty magnificent tools for the mapping to a shared semantics of syntax-

tree-sitter :: any syntax -> 1 semantics

- we have tree-sitter, lsp, etc; any language can be added with an easy description.

But we don't have great tools for mapping (1 semantics -> any syntax) - in some sense, the inverse of tree-sitter:

inverse-tree-sitter :: 1 semantics -> any syntax

If we did, we could have a universal any language meta-debugger library.

The key impact of this is that anybody from some individual language could add a plugin, which could apply to every supported language that uses the subset of features that apply to that plugin.

Think about the network effects of a language which has a large universe of plugins - now think about the even greater network effects if it could be a union of supported languages - that's strictly at least as good, if not vastly more network-effectful. So I think the benefit to people would increase rapidly if people contributed to it across many different languages, so it could be a good collaborative tool.

I bring this up under this discussion because the debugger would be the exact best place to apply something like the inverse of tree-sitter

pretend I'm not ignoring this would likely lead to a strangely organized library with lots of potential spots of inter-language interface annoyances, so it would not probably be strictly better... :)

Ah, that kind of console! WTF indeed. I was thinking of an administration UI with lots of text fields, like "AWS Management Console" (but that would be probably broken as well if you can't enter a domain name).
> At some point in my programmer career I figured out that optimizing for human comprehension, a.k.a. "clean code", is a valid goal.

Nobody is arguing against comprehensible code. Caseys video is not about clean code in general, but "Clean Code" as presented e.g. in the book by Robert Martin, which contains a bunch of code I would not classify as "clean" by any metric.

> But as others pointed out, he focus on squeezing every bit of performance in the context of real-time video game logic

He doesn't, though. The "Clean Code, Horrible Performance" video is an excerpt from his course called "Performance-Aware Programming", where he explicitly says many times that the course isn't at all about "optimization", but merely being "performance aware". This isn't highlighted in the video though, so getting the full context is difficult.
What makes you think the entrenched interests befitting from the status quo won't co-opt that process and funnel the wealth into themselves?

> Ansible, terraform, linux automation, those kind of jobs are more widespread than straight software development jobs.

There's literally 10 or more frontend jobs for each DevOps position you find advertised. Unless you think frontend dev is not "real software development", which wouldn't make any sense.

Additionally, DevOps requires much more knowledge about infrastructure than just learning some automation tools.
I guess the old "seeing is believing" can be thrown out the window nowadays.
And at least when I host stuff it still goes down at least from time to time and I have to put in additional time to fix it.

Because crypto doesn’t change anything, exchanges had liquidity issues and went under in the same way as SVB did…

Crypto isn’t magic its just a glorified balance sheet.

And today it’s even more complicated since you need to exchange crypto for actual money so there is another layer of liquidity risk.
Kopia does not 'image' your whole machine.

A real shame imaging is the time saving component if a system is not recoverable. People want to get their systems up and running as fast as possible.

A combination of imaging and file back up is the best way to do that. For now I'll stick with http://www.urbackup.org/

I suspect the real world outcome will be really asinine ideas by fringe groups. Sort of analogous to wikipedia having wrong/inaccurate articles in obscure topics, because the only people that care about the topics wish to maintain a narrative.

The game theory just doesn't work.
It’s dubious asking the winners of any survivorship bias. I’d say hear what they’ve got to say(if you’ve got time), but never take it as gospel until you’re sure they have earned that respect. A broken clock is accurate twice a day, but the rest of the day is full of times it’s obviously wrong if you cross check with external sources.
Don’t have any horses in this race, but this feels like a straw man. Getting told to go die by a centralized exchange is exactly the kind of problem that crypto solves. The trouble is a ton of web3 startups (like coinbase) worked to undo this feature to improve usability. Pretty much every crypto person I know who has been in it for more than 5 years will insist no keys no coins. A lot of the innovation in web3 consisted of pulling back the decentralization inherent in a lot of blockchains.
Why would you want something specifically for photo/video when this solution can back up any file type or folder location?
Part of me wonders what exactly were the toxic assets that pulled SVB under, and my gut feeling can't stop thinking it is that SVB is more exposed to startups than your average bank.. and that the next dominos, so to speak, will be startups seeking lending from banks.

Mass layoffs, finance pulling out, feels very dot com bubble bursty to me.
> Clean code / readable code / whatever you want to call it is often at odds with performance.

I disagree; or rather, I'd put it the other way around by saying that often you can get both clean code (by some metric) and reasonable performance. The patterns in e.g. the book by Robert Martin doesn't give you either, though.

> And for most enterprise projects it just doesn't matter.

It matters for the users. I use software that is slow for no good reason, and I'd like to live in a world where this is not the case.
Does DxOMark penalize such falsifications?
What Casey doesn't get is that for the vast, vast majority of code out there, reliability, maintainability, scalability (to hundreds of servers, or hundreds of software engineers working on the code base), testability, and observability trump raw performance.

CPU and RAM are cheap. By engineering your software to scale performance as close to linearly as possible with the addition of more CPU and RAM, you've changed the problem from one that requires the best engineers to solve into one that can be solved literally by throwing more money at it. At the largest software deployment scales this is totally doable, and it makes the most sense for the business.
Why don't you all come and join us in Europe? We have what you are looking for:

- Universal high quality health care
- Free education including high quality universities
- Cheap or even free quality childcare
- A social system that has everyone's back if shit hits the fan

No need to introduce socialism as some here seem to advocate. History has shown that this fails 100 out of 100 times, and it's been tried in every thinkable constellation.

Europe IMO has a better approach vs the US - still enough incentives to work hard, but aiming to afford everyone a humane existence. The main threat I see is that the balance is shifted too much to socialism over here, stifling innovation and ultimately destroying the wealth that funds all these goodies.

> Treasuries cannot lose value just like cash. They are as good as cash in almost every context. You can always sit on them until they mature and you'll get the full amount plus interest. You cannot lose money this way.

Be careful with absolute statements like that. While it hasn't happened so far with USA treasuries, its equivalents in many countries have lost value in the past.
