Ghci is a really impressive REPL, with very fast reloading and very complete metadata handling. Also, it's easier to handle conversations about pure code.

But most languages have many features aimed at it. The captcha is that it tends to come bundled on the debugger, instead of in a separate tool. That makes many people fail to recognize them.

I just ran into the fixture problem myself, maybe you can help me understand how I could find this myself.

I wanted to integrate pytest-benchmark[1]. Their docs mention fixtures a couple of times, but the examples only show that test functions receive a magic untyped parameter called "benchmark".

How would I make my usage more explicit? Can I somehow explicitly import the fixture, or at least type it?

Then there's a vicious circle. You need to have technical expertise to evaluate whether the code from these models is fit for purpose. Until these models get sufficiently reliable that you can use them without worrying if the results are correct then you still need developers. This may be much better than Stack Overflow, but I imagine it will still suffer from the same problems with regard to copying "answer" code.

I would give an answer from ChatGPT where it confidently told me that I should evaluate an object detection model by ranking matches using negative IoU (and it indeed generated code to do it and gave a confident explanation of how this was normal in computer vision, but it was completely backwards).

The title is wrong, Archive Team (https://wiki.archiveteam.org/) is behind these archiving efforts, not The Internet Archive.

The dump will surely end up being stored at the The Internet Archive, but they are two different entities with different collaborators and different goals.

Archive Team describes themselves like this:

> Archive Team is a loose collective of rogue archivists, programmers, writers and loudmouths dedicated to saving our digital heritage.

If you want to contribute to the efforts, you can join #dprived (on hackint), once the Warrior (https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveTeam_Warrior) project is up and running, it's really easy to contribute. Basically run a VM and you're up and running.

What would be amazing for Copilot + Typescript is if it could somehow integrate with the TS compiler (or perhaps just get sufficient fine-tuning on the TS type system) so that it only generates valid/type-safe suggestions.
The point is you'll need less humans to do the same work. Possible far less, maybe it'll be a smaller ratio to start with but eventually that ratio will grow.

Most organizations are there to make profit for shareholders, if more profit can be obtained through less hires while still meeting money making goals the you can bet your bottom dollar they will hire less people where possible.

People early in their careers should be ready for this as one day there may be far less times available to them in this field.
It's really cool that you got to work on this from the early inception. I've had my eye on this since it was hinted at many Ingnites ago.

I've never seen an app that can do live collaboration on a document as seamlessly as Loop. Between my phone, laptop and computer, the changes are seemingly instantaneous and that has to be a major accomplishment.

Asides from the web app being a Notion clone, the actual loop components are the most interesting user-facing tool I've seen Microsoft release in a very long time. I've been piloting Loop by myself for over a year and have been introducing it to my team over the past few months.

It'll be interesting to see how this develops over the next few years. I'm really interested in how 3rd party developers can leverage it.

That feels like a retroactive explanation of the current status quo to me. I doubt Apple would agree "Siri isn't supposed to be great" - they just failed to live up to what they wanted.

Open networks are more valuable than closed ones: the case for the Fediverse
You don't need an interrupt per packet, at least not with sensible NICs and OSes. Something like 10k interrupts per second is good enough, pick up a bunch of packets on each interrupt; you do lose out slightly on latency, but gain a lot of throughput. Look up 'interrupt moderation', it's not new, and most cards should support it.

Professionlly, I ran dual xeon 2690v1 or v2 to 9Gbps for https download on FreeBSD; http hit 10G (only had one 10G to the internet on those machines), but crypto took too much CPU. Dual Xeon 2690v4 ran to 20Gbps, no problem (2x 14 core broadwell, much better AES acceleration, faster ram, more cores, etc, had dual 10G to the internet).

Personally, I've just setup 10G between my two home servers, and can only manage about 5-8Gbps with iperf3, but that's with a pentium g2020 on one end (dual core Ivy Bridge, 10 years old at this point), and the network cards are configured for bridging, which means no tcp offloading.

Edit: also, check out what Netflix has been doing with 800Gbps, although sendfile and TLS in the kernel cuts out a lot of userspace, kind of equal but opposite of cutting out kernelspace, http://nabstreamingsummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/202...
> How do these standards processes work?

Chrome implements something, and 3 years later it's adopted as a standard because the other browser (Firefox) was forced to implement it anyway.
The other issue is that unless your computer is acting as a router or a bridge, you need to do something with that 10GB data stream. SSDs have only recently gotten fast enough to just barely support reading or writing that fast. But even if you do find one that supports writes that fast a 10GbeE card could fill an expensive 4TB drive in less than an hour. Good luck decoding JPEGs and blitting them out to a web browser window that fast.

I think milliseconds overestimates by a few orders of magnitude, but non-real-time OSs really suffer for the intermediate IO stuff you expect in an embedded project (e.g. SPI, I2C, etc)

A long time ago, I was playing with Project Nerves on an Orange Pi running some flavor of debian. I was doing some I2C transaction (at 400 kHz, each bit is single-digit microseconds), and I ultimately had to have a re-attempt loop because the transaction would fail so often. I found a failure cutoff of 5 attempts was sufficient to keep going. I don't recall the failure rate, but basically, whenever a transaction failed, I'd have to reattempt 2-3 times before it eventually succeeded.

Meanwhile, on a bog-standard Arduino with an ATMega328P, I send the I2C traffic once, and unless the circuit is physically damaged, the transaction will succeed.
The book was way over optimistic but many of his predictions are coming true, a few decades late.

We did this deployment pattern with a jar in, like... the early 2000s? It's trivial (well, maybe an annoying couple hours to config, but it's a config once and then done) in maven to build a megajar and add every single thing you need into one large jar. All resources, dependencies, etc.

And then deployment is, indeed, an rsync.
Yes, but, significant work was done at an academic level between 2011 and 2017, researchers at universities, grad student projects, etc, that resulted in usable data being extracted. I worked on this problem for ~10 years off and on. It is absolutely doable.

Especially since you don't actually _need_ raw pressure data to be useful. Pressure rate of change over time is still useful and produces improved accuracy in some local forecasts.

But not only that, the researchers at UW under Cliff Mass found that you can do on-device ML to clean the quality of the data, remove errors, and live-adjust to MSLP on-device, without even needing the dense network of sensors nearby for error correction.

It's 100% doable, but it just takes some hard science and effort.

I’m in a suburb of LA and while prices are still up quite a bit from mid 2020, houses in my immediate neighborhood are selling for hundreds of thousands less than they did at peak.
It’s both. And making it too easy to overextend oneself making for a bigger crash.

Easy money == can multiply consumption == eventual consumption of all supply == eventual starvation of options == competition for options (rapid price increases) == eventual topping out at a higher equilibrium == trying to get easier money, etc.

The cheaper the money, the more options get ‘consumed’.

Making more options works, to a point, but people find a way to leverage if they can to consume those too.

Eventually, the ability to leverage more ends. Often this causes a corresponding crash, as a lot of the drive to go higher is driven by the trajectory of ever increasing prices. When the trajectory changes, the math inverts, and now it becomes scary risky to buy instead of scary risky NOT to.

There may be only 2 sexes, but any given individual's sexuality is somewhere on a spectrum between the two. It's not a binary, either-or situation, either biologically or psychologically.
Your footnotes basically invalidate your argument. You aren't just deploying a tarball, you also have to deploy the java runtime and make sure it's compatible with your application.

I agree that Go fans make too much of the single binary feature, but it does seem easier than your deployment process.

Of course your process is easy for you because you built it to fit your needs. But if you imagine a new developer who has no experience deploying either Java or Go applications, and consider what's easier to deploy without any previous knowledge or automation, I think you might agree the Go deployment options are simpler.
Also...

SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) is head and shoulders above any other such tool I've ever seen.

I'm not sure we can say that Office is clearly superior, but at the very least there's no competitor that can claim to be better. Office remains the standard to which others are compared.

There are so many/different shell scripting platforms that it's impossible to really compare, but you can make a reasonable argument for PowerShell.

Taken as a whole, Azure is in 2nd place popularity-wise. But comparing service-for-service across the big three, there are certainly individual services where MS's offering is superior.
I haven't met the new owners yet, but most of my other newer neighbors are not what you'd consider wealthy. It's mostly families with two working adults where one works or worked at FAANG and sometimes both. Most people's story start with "my FAANG stock made my down payment, and the salary pays the mortgage".

The older neighbors are generally people who have owned for 30+ years and bought when things were still reasonable. The houses in our neighborhood are all about 60 years old, and we even still have some original owners!

But the point is for the most part people here are not so wealthy they can stop working, they just have high paying local jobs to pay for their really expensive house and don't have a lot left over after housing expenses.
We also install the JRE separately, but each app is a single executable (by Java) jar, which stands up a jetty instance when run. We also add a yml for configuration.

It's a much better packaging & deploy story than frontend code or python.

I think it depends a lot on where you live. Some places have predictable weather (rainy all day, or sunny in the afternoons, or whatever) but other places see random storms with no rhyme or reason.

In those latter markets, something that tells you it’s about to rain is super useful.
Agreed. I knew someone who chased high-paying contract positions around the country. His wife managed the house at their midwest home base, while he rented a cheap apartment wherever he was working and flew home every weekend. That was well before the pandemic made remote work common.

This arrangement doesn't work for every couple. I doubt whether it will ever become common, but who knows whether it will become more so.
Nowadays, to a lot of folks, questioning isn’t the bedrock of science. “Trusting the experts/science” is. That’s the root behind a lot of issues we’ve seen socially, especially over the last few years.
It is basically free if you consider companies will be automating a lot of the dev grunt work for now on. Learning to code using tools like Copilot will be a requirement, but instead of 10 developers you hire 1.

Now patched Outlook zero-day gains PoC and growing concerns
I have no illusions that what I've been building was ever going to be commercial or even particularly useful (it just offers code improvements, bug fixes, etc. as errors are piped into the system – it's very rudimentary but neat), but it's striking right now how incredibly deep Microsoft's moat in this arena is right now.

I realized it would be best as a VS Code extension in its current form and started writing that this morning. I was thinking Github would do this eventually, it was obvious — copilot already existed and was primed for this — but evidently they'd already built it a while ago. I was also thinking eventually it could be a bot which generates pull requests based on error correction, but... They did that too.

If I wanted to go all in one this project, say as a hypothetical competitor to Copilot, I don't see how it would be possible to succeed. Any clever UI improvements would rapidly find their way into Copilot, offering far better solutions due to their absurd access to pertinent data.

They can even train Copilot to resolve errors based on how they've been resolved in the past; it could probably patch all kinds of common errors reliably soon.

I think this is cool in the sense that it'll be genuinely useful to people, but frightening to realize how dominant MS is here, in this moment. Maybe I'm not creative enough and I can't see a way to build something novel with this which they haven't already. That's arguably likely. At the same time... I'm a little shaken at how narrow of an opportunity anyone had to try to get into this space. I don't think it's a good thing.
> but instead are motivated

This is a very generous statement. Clearly our current system is broken (e.g. misinformation campaigns) and people have not been motivated fact-check themselves.
It doesn't work that way because if house prices dropped 10% people would just buy bigger/nicer houses. Houses today are so luxurious today, granite countertops, ducted A/C, beautiful wood floors its just become normal.
It depends on your requirements and environment. With most things I am working on the commands to deploy both look exactly the same:

$ rsync -a foo server:/opt/foo
$ rsync -a bar server:/opt/bar

Can you guess which one is a static binary written in Go, and which one is a directory with a slimmed down JRE produced by jlink + an application jar?

For those using containers, there's no practical difference between the two.

That might work in a narrow set of circumstances where data can be published to trusted sources for one to read and say yes this information is true. But in much broader situations AI can spit out disinformation in many locations and it will be information that is not testable like celebrity news and it will be nearly impossible for one to verify truthfulness.

The great irony is that high density housing dramatically increases the value of the real estate, which is the actual investment. A single family home is in fact a wealth sink - you're constantly maintaining it and even with great effort it will probably be an undesirable building to live in within a few decades. While someone may pay to live in the building you currently occupy, at some point someone is going to buy the land to do something else with it. Like imagine if you owned an acre of downtown Manhattan with only a ranch style house on it - the skyscrapers around you are not going to lower your property value.

There is concern that lower rent places will allow lower income individuals to reside in these communities, and that will lead to undesirable conditions like crime, despite the fact that if rent were lower than a person of a given income level would have more cash in pocket and thus be less inclined to things like crime, and nearby affordable housing means local businesses could find people to work for lower wages, lowering the cost of living for everybody.

If people invested in making their communities desirable places to live, genuinely increasing the value of their real estate, rather than relying on scarcity to increase the value of their house, everyone would be better off.

It's kind of amazing that this usability issue wasn't obvious given the use case. While touchscreens are great for functional enhancement over time, the lack of tactile feedback sucks especially in a vibrating environment with varying g-forces.

This combined with the recent headlines Kia made by promising to keep real buttons, highlights the opportunity to innovate a modular tactile button system. While LCD and OLED physical button surfaces address the backlit labeling issue, a standardized modular system which allows replacing, modifying and expanding physical control surface layouts without substantial re-engineering seems needed. Obvious applications include automotive, home automation, media/music production and of course instrumentation of all kinds.
