I’m not sure why political parties would be expected to fix these things (which seemed to be the authors thesis).

How would government fix loneliness, lack of spouse, lack of grit, failed marriages, domestic abuse, teenage rebellion, bullying, chain smoking,

I am heavily conflicted on this. I am happy that people get access to better codecs. Better compression and those that aren't encumbered with patents/licensing (AV1)

I am sad that we are extending RTMP instead of adopting something better. I want things like

* Codec negotiation happening at connect time, so we don't hardcode things

* Multi-track. So users can upload multiple audio tracks, or do Simulcast. I would love a world where users upload the multiple quality levels. Then anyone could run a stream service, not just those that can afford transcodes.

* P2P. Stream your OBS output directly to another user. It is frustrating to see users struggle with setting up RTMP servers/HLS when they want to share their video with just one or two other people. The other use case I really care about is co-streaming.

* Standardized. I would like to see whatever protocol we use be discussed in the IETF. It frustrates me that it is just companies behind closed doors deciding things. If an individual/open source/startup has an idea or use case it is never going to make it into RTMP.

I have been trying to add WebRTC support https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/7926 so I am hopeful for the future.
If i open source a project, but throw the code to the bottom of the mariannas trench is it open source?

I like drag-to-side-to-go-halfscreen for window management (though less than I like Spectacle on Mac) and search-to-launch. Both of which could probably be provided by add-ons.

I can't think of any other user-facing features I'd miss if the UI otherwise reverted to Win98. Several things, I'd like better in their Win98 versions.

Under the hood, it's nice that it doesn't crash nearly as often, and the driver situation is better. NTFS support is nice (consumer Windowses didn't used to have that) when the alternative is FAT32. Beyond that, not much I care about.
JSON-LD is an open standard for expressing RDF data as JSON. RDF is the most fundamental part of the W3C's Semantic Web and Linked Data projects, which began at the end of the 1990s to make the Web more machine-readable and continue to make steady progress.

If you're not familiar with RDF, I would suggest starting by reading the RDF 1.1 Primer[1], using the RDF 1.1 Concepts and Abstract Syntax as a reference[2] if something is confusing. I don't think you'll regret spending the time; RDF is a fascinating field!

You can get cheap NVMe drives for around the same price with a controller supporting HMB (Host Memory Buffer) which to a large degree neutralizes the disadvantage of having no expensive DRAM on board. If you need some small form factors like 2242 or 2230 you pretty much don’t have any DRAM options anyway.

I feel that Microsoft sees the writing on the wall when it comes to Windows. The world is going increasingly mobile, and people are doing more and more via their phones (iOS and Android) and ditching the desktop. Your average person isn't computer literate nearly to the degree of the average HN poster, and I think we sometimes forget this. The average person does not care about operating systems. They want something that works and is intuitive. Microsoft is pivoting to a services company for this reason. They have been unable to kill win32, their mobile aspirations have failed, and ARM is coming around the corner for desktop. Windows will not be killed by the competition. It will remain dominant in an ever-diminishing niche, just as the IBM mainframe gave way to PCs.
Me neither. Which is why I am using Open Shell (with DLL hack on Windows 11, without on Windows 10) [1]. Although since I prefer to have the option to have my menu bar on left, which is a reason I don't want Windows 11.

..but its the popularity of Android and Google which put Microsoft to this direction. They get away with it, why not Microsoft? On my Nvidia Shield TV, I have to watch about 33% of my startup screen with commercials. Commercials which sometimes aren't meant for my children. What have we come to that we accept this behavior from a TV? And Google gets away with this. (I'm not trying to downplay Microsoft's behavior, however.)

This page seems to indicate that it is not in fact out.

I am pretty excited for this though. I do like classical music but it can be a pain to figure out which recording of a song to listen to. Some interpretations really annoy me especially with respect to piano music. Orchestral music I don't know as much about and most of the recordings I've listened seem fine although I know some people have a lot of opinions on various recordings/interpretations.
Small businesses generally? If a company is just a few people with a vision the more they care about the things you listed here.

Yes, great point - I meant to say that using CSS animations is hairy if one is using Svelte, not that they're hairy generally.

Free speech doesn't mean that code needs to be open source. It would be appreciated, but I don't see the relation here.

I don't get how you can profit from Twitters source code though. I think the configuration of its infrastructure is the larger problem. Perhaps there are some neat ideas to solve certain problems, but there are dozens of open source twitter clones already. I doubt these are worse than that with what Twitter started with, on the contrary.

> Usually I'm working on app logic, so I might go weeks or occasionally months without touching any UI code.

This is a very interesting point, because my experience is quite the opposite.

Most of the time changes to the apps that I typically worked on (ERP/CRM platforms) involved both DB migrations, as well as back end and front end work. And with the front end, changes to the logic almost always resulted in changes to the template, even if only within a single component. The only exceptions to this were validation changes (changed logic only) or visual bugs (changed template only).

I wonder what qualities of the system design this points towards, apart from coupling.

SATA is 6 Gbps, not 6 GBps. Tiny cheap drives like the ones in this article are the only ones that struggle to saturate a SATA link during sequential transfers. Any NVMe drive 1TB or larger will offer sequential read performance several times higher than SATA could handle, and if it's a TLC drive rather than QLC the sequential write performance will also generally be at or above the SATA limit even after the SLC cache runs out.

You might be confusing Gigabits for Gigabytes. 6 Gbps means 6 gigabit/s which translates to about 550 megabyte/s sequential in practice.

M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 is 32 Gbps (4 GB/s), the same with PCIe 4.0 is about 64 Gbps, and PCIe 5.0 gives you 128 Gbps. 5/10/20 times faster than SATA 3, respectively.

Hard drives manage a bit above 250 MB/s nowadays, sequential. MLC and TLC SATA SSDs can usually saturate the interface, but QLC SSDs are generally much slower with write speeds between 50 and 150 MB/s.

I honestly... don't know. I have been using Jsonnet to programatically generate Grafana dashboards, because AFAIK the only official library to generate them is written in Jsonnet [1].

In my experience, it works, but it doesn't really give me any distinct advantage and instead it gives me some headaches. Maybe for things that look almost like JSON it'd be helpful, but the moment you start dealing with more complex generations you start finding lack of typing, lack of IDE support, lack of easy debugging, etc, fairly problematic. For example, something I really dislike is that due to how the expressions are evaluated, the only way to add debug/trace statements is to use them to "transform" a value you're going to use, if you don't use the result of the trace in the final output, the trace does not appear.

Also, I really dislike the error messages. Again, due to the lazy evaluation design, when you mess up something the error message might appear deep in some unrelated call stack and with a jarring lack of context. Debugging it is a real pain.

Depending on how mature AI will be, people's work will involve telling AIs what they want it to do, rather than doing the work themselves. I wrote about this here [0] because it seems like a logical step after technology improves any level of work.

What I believe this will mean is that there will be a glut of creations, because many more people will be able to build and create stuff by telling AIs what they want.

I'm not sure how this affects the economics of it all.

Yes that's a common problem with config languages. They're torn between competing priorities:

1. Fast to parse with a small engine, good error messages, safe to evaluate.

2. Powerful, can express config with arbitrary logic.

In Conveyor we try an alternative approach. The config is HOCON, which is a superset of JSON syntax designed for human readability/writability/convenience first and foremost, so it's got a very nice and clean feel to it. You can see an example here:

https://github.com/hydraulic-software/github-desktop/blob/co...

It can be parsed with a normal-sized config library and the errors you get are reasonable.

But then what if you hit the limits of what it can express? We added support for "hashbang includes":

include "#!script.js"

You can embed arbitrary commands in the config which are executed when found unless the app is running in untrusted mode. The script is expected to produce more config on stdout, which is then included. This lets you encode only the minimal needed logic using a full programming language, whilst the rest stays declarative.
I've been very happy with SourceHut (git.sr.ht). It's fast and slick. Does what you need, none of the cruft. Among other things, I really like: I can push to any URL under my username and it creates a repo automatically, and that it reminds me to put a license file on public repos.

I really like how the author is open about both the development and the business side.

It will be interesting to see how they define "classical" — Does it include only Western art music? Does it include only music from the Baroque and after? What about Perotin? Does it include classical musical traditions from non-western musics? Does it include folk musics? How about modern movements like 'musique concrète' or avant-garde jazz? How about instrumental film scores? Anime film scores?

We are using next.js for the admin interface of the app. Works great with Polaris and AppBridge. Svelte is only used for the widget we are providing to the merchants.
Agreed. Tomorrow they’ll realize that templating often requires string capitalization and other operations and will start reinventing Math, String.prototype and exception handling, if not yet.

Nevermind, https://jsonnet.org/ref/stdlib.html

It’s just a new language with a new runtime, for some reason marketed as a json templater. Literally any language with “json” module is at least equivalent to it, but more familiar to developers.
> I am curious, with all the national debt, will higher inflation help service that debt going forwards?

The simple answer is no it wont. The liabilities that matter the most have COLA so when inflation goes up so do payments.

The only thing it actually does is make worthless any existing bonds so anyone holding them is out the money with special corrupt deals for critical infrastructure that might have exposure (i.e. blackrock having 1% bonds being swapped for current interest rate bonds). That would primarily be China, and the Saudis. I'd imagine that is what prompted segmenting the bond market with TIPS vs non-TIPS bonds.

The burden of inflation is placed on the populace, and when people are unable to afford basic necessities, and have to work as slaves (because currency is no longer a store of value and the crown of shadow government in effect seized property), unrest inevitably occurs.

The Fed is a private institution, not an actual branch of government, but they are seizing money from every wage-earner through inflation, and government does the same since percentages increase the basis amount taxed.

Its unfortunate but all the historic factors are slowly lining up with many of the same conditions previously seen between 1767-1776.

Don't get me wrong, this is beyond stupid, but I've come to realize the people in the positions that could stop this simply have no interest in doing so. Its more profitable for them to allow this to progress because "what are you going to do about it".

Is the implication that someone affiliated with Twitter took down GitHub because of something someone hosted there? Does that honestly seem plausible to you?
Writing things directly is tightly coupling code. Sometimes quite distant portions of it, i.e. database access and presentation logic. With ORM and some smarter lazy technics or introspection at least you can untie it, with hand written SQL there is no way. And the reason is strings are poorly composable. Unless you use some query generator, but then we are back to ORM-like something.
Is English not your first language? You keep saying “addressed” but from context you mean “ignored”.

I've been playing around with sentence embeddings to search documents, but I wonder how useful they are as a natural language interface for a database. The way one might phrase a question might be very different content wise from how the document describes the answer. Maybe it might be possible to do some type of transform where the question is transformed into a possible answer and then turned into a embedding but I haven't found much info on that yet.

Another idea I've had is to "overfit" a generative model like GPT on a dataset but pay more attention to how url and the like are tokenised

Just because your links don't make the frontpage doesn't mean you should stop sharing. HN is a hard nut to crack to get something to get the attention you think it deserves, but people check out /newest/ quite often, as the frontpage gets stale quickly.
Would you mind sharing how/where did you learn that ? Just dropped my engender job to search a meaningful life and it seems sharing/applying this kind of knowledge would totally match.
