The nasty part of concurrency bugs is that normally you can expect the code is almost correct and needs some tweaks to fix oversights, but concurrency bugs in incompletely thought-out code more often requires throwing out the design to build it right. Additionally, concurrency issues usually arise from multiple components interacting in nonlocal ways, requiring a global knowledge of the system to diagnose and fix. And finding the presence of a bug or reproducing it is usually probabilistic, making concurrency heisenbugs hard to discover, locate, and prove they're fixed.

It can be made somewhat tractable to experienced concurrency wizards; I think Rust's "cross-thread shared ^ mutable" rule is a good starting point, but have less experience with Go, JS, or Erlang-style approaches.

I personally know some subcontractors for LVMH who work on the pieces with complex perforation. They receive the leather from Italy and everyone handling it is effectively in France with the salary matching a company using state of the art processing. Most of their other customers are actually industrial companies.

What you are peddling in this comment thread is utter garbage and so untrue it’s laughable. It’s clear you have an axe to grind but very little idea of what you are actually talking about.
Interesting how no German companies made the list despite Germany’s massive economy.

Two reasons come to mind:

1) Car companies (other than Tesla) are in a valuation slump.

2) Germans value the “Mittelstand” [1] of stable mid-size enterprises. These companies may even be global market leaders in some specific niche, but they don’t seek to grow to unfamiliar market areas or to merge with other similar companies.

> we contacted a medical doctor via email who confirmed it was indeed them who inserted “Baum’s loop” as an eponym into the Wikipedia article (personal communication: A. Baum, 21 May 2020).

So, a physician gave a part of the anatomy their name, and "from there propagated into the wider medical literature." But I wonder: was there any rationale or did they just decide to name it after themselves without having discovered this anatomy or its function?
I just don’t get the obsession with micro services (by with I mean a complete tech stack for each service). I can only see the relevance in a sub optimal org structure - huge org, merger etc.

SOA, sure (hello CICS :-)).

DB sharding if needed for load / resources.

Otherwise logical division into sets of related services that can be their own little monolith or go full monorepo.

Perhaps I'm missing something …

I don't think Orwellian is the right word here. This makes it sound like is a system that has malicious intent against you. I don't think that is the case here...

Human systems were never designed to be as inner connected as they are now. I'm not talking about computer networks, I'm talking about our social systems and things like dunbars number. How do you codify one cultures social expectations in a system that works over the world wide web? How do you design a system that can be attacked by anywhere in the world at any time? If you're connected, you have one degree of separation to everyone else.

A system like this will experience such a huge amount of bullshit asymmetry that the cost of electricity and bandwidth to determine your truthiness quotient is a significant operating cost. The first moment any deviance is detected in your response you will be banned simply because the system cannot afford to do otherwise.

Erlang/Elixir have a great story here: “let it crash”. Because each slice of activity in an application is wrapped in its own process (think single threaded loop but you can run a million at a time, almost free to create and destroy), if it crashes it only takes down that web request/process. Recovery mechanisms are built in to get back to a know good state.
> individuals and businesses being sociopathic in the pursuit of profit

I'm a Turkish immigrant who's been living in Germany since more than a third of my life. While more back in Istanbul, I see individuals and businesses behaving like this everywhere. I've only been once to the US (loved the NYC and Chicago - crazy), so my exposure is plainly touristic, is this really so bad there to make it a clear disadvantage?

Can someone who has personal experience in both sides of the world care to make a best attempt for a neutral comparison?

I’ve also dropped out of college the first time I tried it, and I don’t agree with the way we teach and I surely think there are better ways. But it seems like you’re externalizing a personal problem to the whole system.
15 years in school, in the US, including community colleges maybe shows that you either had the wrong mindset or you tend to blame others for things that may be you. It’s very common btw.

The schools in the US are much easier than many. Try going to a public school in Argentina. 4h long lectures, theory of limit in the third class of calc. Proving theorems. Here? Sign in to Pearson and do some exercises.

Having your mouth washed out with soap is a "traditional" punishment, usually inflicted on those that have committed a mouth-related offence like swearing (if you can believe it) or smoking. It's now mostly a figure a speech. The brown soap is a less desirable bar of soap to have forcibly inserted into your mouth.
This is essentially true for the mainstream chatbots in the US too.

Neither does TFA or my initial comment. This is about LVMH not VH alone.

Not that LV has a much better history:

Bonus LVMH:

"The report also found that the world’s largest luxury brands are among the worst offenders in addressing the worse forms of exploitation in their supply chains, with an average score of 31 out of 100. French luxury goods company Kering (owner of the Alexander McQueen and Gucci labels) scored 41 out of 100, while LVMH (owner of the Christian Dior and Louis Vuitton labels) scored 19 out of 100" https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/7/14/are-your-favouri...
I don't think "value the Mittlestand" is the right phase to describe why these companies stay small, I think it's more like unable to grow past a certain size due to various factors such as conservative mindset shunning everything non-German and a false focus on the domestic market instead of the global market which in the last few decades changed faster than German companies were willing to adapt. That's like me saying I "value a lower wage" when in fact I'm unable to get a higher wage because I've stagnated in my career doing the same thing for 20 years.

As they have missed the boat on the global high-growth tech market of the last couple of decades, they're stuck in the stagnation of low-growth markets and certain niches where they fly under the radar and enjoy no competition in their field as the US and China are too busy chasing the high-growth markets of the future, to bother competing there. It's a safe place to be in the market but there's also almost no growth there so hiring is slow and so is wage growth.

I've worked and interviewed a lot for Mittlestand companies and can say I'm not looking forward to ever stepping foot in one again, until I'm close to retirement maybe.

What I try to remember though is I felt that way about everything, initially:) . My wife didn't miss or need a second monitor for our first five years together - and then she finally tried it and she cannot imagine living without one now. She fought me on Netflix as cable already had so many channels she didn't need anything more (same results once she tried it:) . I fought my best friend on vr for 2 years until he practically locked me in his basement and stuck oculus on my head and now I feel stupid for not trying sabre beat or boxing apps sooner :).

Not everything will work that way. But "I don't currently need" is not always a good / sufficient dismissal of something new.

To the original point - I do not have crypto tiktok discord tor snapchat etc... And may indeed be considered illiterate to some, even though I too have been on them intertubes for 3 decades and make my living in IT:). It was a point of pride for people I knew in 90s and 2000s to not have tried interwebs.

The author seems like a “open source strategist” who does not write code, but if one does, he will likely understand the difficulties of contributing to open source in a cloud service environment and why the observed “free ride”. It will take too many cycles to push an even trivial change upstream and sometimes you can never do that. But your customer does not wait for you, they will happily go to your competitors when they “free ride” more than you do.
By the way, is there a good trick to detect whether there is a currently active text field with your cursor in it? That's one crucial missing piece of context for all of the keyboard trick apps I am aware of, and that prevents fixing some rather annoying app bugs (like finder's enter not working to rename)

These utilities are only able to detect which app is running, but no what's going on inside the app
My feeling being based in Europe:

- European regulation would swiftly destroy any technical innovation coming out of Europe

- There is certain benefit to companies being HQed in USA - legitimacy, American law being standard. E.g. Many European startups end up being officially HQed in USA, even if founders, majority of work is done in Europe - access to VC funding.

- USA companies are "using" intellectual capital of EU - many companies on an upward trajectory got acquired by USA companies - e.g. Skype. In my city most engineers either work remotely for USA companies, or work in European office of an American company

- Just European mentality - lower tolerance for potential failure, less "go for the moon" mentality, more "collectivism" experienced by higher taxes or super strict employment law in many places

- There are "network" effects to doing most types of business. Notice that most companies outside of USA are either resources (e.g. Aramco), hardware (network effects in Asia), outsourcing (the whole point is being in cheaper place than USA, e.g. TCS), medical (not sure why so many are from non-USA), banks (those need to be everywhere).
Create react app shouldn’t even be recommended. I would rather people just get into NextJS directly if they truly want to learn React
From my point of view, the issues with concurrency (specifically the shared memory "threadlike"-kind) are absolutely NOT overblown, because misuse of that mechanism can completely RUIN a codebase in a way that few other things can; "goto" abuse would be a good analogy, or massive amounts of partly redundant global state.

My perception is that other comparably dangerous mechanisms are taught with appropriate caveats-- you WILL typically be admonished to keep variables as local as possible, learn how to encapsulate state, and probably be instructed to ALWAYS use proper loops, conditionals and function calls instead of wild gotos-- it does not even matter if you learn programming in university or on your own.

But with threading this is not the case, you'll typically get handed threading primitives without much prejudice, with predictable results.
I believe those luxury brands inflated market value is mostly the result of sophisticated money laundering operations by European organized crime. Once you detach an object's value from it's utility and production costs, there's no limit to how much profit you can claim from it. That's a very nice feature if you're looking to reintroduce dirty money into the system.
Once you cut the person in two halves, it's easy to map the half to a plane.

Imagine a sphere. You cut it in two halves, and you get something like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolosi_globular_projection and use a scissor to cut it in the middle. Now imagine the initial sphere is made of rubber and it contracts to a body glove thigh around the person.

There are no discontinuity inside each half. Just a huge discontinuity between the two halves, but each one is processed by a different side of the brain anyway.

The projections in each half can be made in both orientations, the one that is like the skin and the mirror one. The non-mirrored is difficult to wire, but the mirrored one is easy to wire.

About the discontinuity, there is a huge discontinuity between the two sides of your body that are processed by the two sides of your brain, and you don't notice it.

Moreover, in each eye, there is a discontinuity because each half of each of your eyes is proceed in a different side of your brain https://www.quora.com/Which-side-of-the-brain-does-the-optic... With that hardware I expect to see a black vertical line in the middle of my eyes, but the transition is quite smooth.
Vercel is an excellent solution. If you ever need to scale beyond it, you're one of the lucky ones ;)

Sure! I basically use PDF Lib to generate a letter with all my evidence bundled into one pdf file. It sucks up data from my database about the user's activity. Format is the following:

Formal 1 page letter with company logo - "Dear Sir/Madam.. writing about $9.99 dispute for card XXXX on X date for user [NAME]" (all this is pulled from the Stripe API).

I then have 5 appendixes on separate pages:

Appendix 1: Users' receipt (just a pic of the Stripe receipt)

Appendix 2: User's order history (just printed, name of items, price, and timestamp)

Appendix 3: Screenshot of the user's purchases page clearly showing the item

Appendix 4: Email confirmations - I store copies of each HTML email sent, so just take a picture of this.

Appendix 5: Site activity with IP addresses and timestamps. This is all user actions on my site (viewing items, purchasing, etc.)

I created it because I had 20 disputes piling up, and I was dreading processing them all. Given that you're likely to lose the majority of disputes, it's super discouraging to put in the work, but this makes it a bit easier (I don't want to let fraudsters just get away with it!).

How "alive" is the Fuchsia project today?
It depends.

Some employers require all employees to complete a certain amount of professional development every year. You want your patent lawyers to know about the latest developments in patent law, your HR people to know about the latest developments in employment law, and so on. In this case, merely having accomplished the professional development goals you set last year counts as goals being achieved.

Don't like that? Maybe your employer is starting a big project that's going to produce business benefits but relies on a new technology. For example, if you were previously an expert in virtual machines, and you've expanded your knowledge to Docker containers so you can help on an important new project - that's an achievement even if you were paid while you trained.

Perhaps you learned something at the conference you were able to put into effect directly, making your product better. That's an achievement - you're keeping the company at the cutting edge of technology!

Perhaps your employer is facing challenges with Foo, and the world's greatest expert on Foo was speaking at the conference, and you were able to quiz them about your challenges over coffee and get some great advice.

Perhaps after the conference you gave presentations to your peers at the company, passing on your new knowledge. That's helped the company by improving everyone's skills, not just yours - as well as demonstrating cross-team impact.

Perhaps at the conference you talked to some people who were interested in joining the company, and the chance to talk to an engineer in person along with the proof you're a cutting edge company following the very latest in technology has lead to more and higher quality job applicants.

Everyone fancies their success, which means more visitors. They want to be able to handle the odd traffic surge. Understandable desires.

But understanding of scaling seems stuck in 2012 when these systems were required for even moderate sites, particularly if slow frameworks are being used. The rise of cloud use is definitely part of this mentality. An ingrained believe that horizontal scaling via vendor is the only way.

But meanwhile, in 2023 where we've seen a 500x bump in what servers are capable of and vertical scaling and it's simplicity can just "get you there" for 99% of sites.
I'm used to people on here saying "lol europe doesn't make anything", came to comment "look at all this manufacturing happening", and apparently a $500bn business it doesn't count because it's not thing that HN likes? Isn't that also a bit sad?

Isn't the measure of market cap more a measure of how much one company monopolizes? Compared to an environment of, say, German "mittelstand" medium-sized companies (which don't count, apparently?)

Note also that LVMH are one of the places selling into China, rather than the other way round. Got to recycle those dollars somehow.
No, I'm not missing your point - I agree with it. My comment was meant to point that that to the extent that tenure could be gutted from research universities, it has already been done so.

Gutting it further would bring immediate ruin.
Concurrency, like distributed systems, is only "hard" in so much it's easier to sell your product, that features it, if you can convinice others of how arduous solving such a CS101 topic would otherwise be.
For me, it's dedicated time focused on the subject area without operational distractions, a little more sticking your head out of your company and meeting other people with similar interests but much different contexts, and a chance to ask a question of experts in person who would otherwise never talk to you. You don't get these from attending an online conference in my experience.

Those things can shift strategy or tactics in ways that are a force multiplier so I consider it worth my or my teams time.

My Dad had a 2019 Model X, which I think was one of the last to be offered with unlimited free supercharging. He loved it but unfortunately someone crashed into it and it was written off. A double blow because the Model X is not currently sold in our country, so he's had to wait a long time (and is still waiting) for a replacement, and secondly he's lost the unlimited free supercharging.
