I don't understand this sort of comment. We obviously have the other great apes beat by an enormous amount. Our impact on our own environment is so big that we can cause planet-scale mass extinctions, either intentionally or unintentionally. We have left the surface of our planet, walked on the moon (well, some of us have), we have detailed theories explaining all sorts of phenomena about the world we live in, we have advanced tools for the weirdest things.

Meanwhile we're impressed when an ape uses a tool in a clever way.

We obviously don't know enough to travel in person to distant stars, and we don't even know whether or not that might one day be possible, but we can consider the possibility, which is something other great apes can't.
We're doing this with our monolithic Node.js / Express application as well, but I wasn't aware that it's a common pattern. For us having a monolithic app greatly simplifies development, deployment, updating dependencies, shared code, etc. Just having a single set of third-party dependencies to update makes things so much easier.
> Here's a paper that most people have not read

I put my hand up: I didn't read the paper (just the abstract). Their findings surprised me.

I speak (quite badly, nowadays) French and German, as well as my mother-tongue, English. I'm quite sure that my understanding of my own language is greatly enhanced by knowing French and German. And I'd be very surprised if a better knowledge of your native language doesn't enhance at least some aspects of cognition.

But this is a particular constellation of languages: if you exclude modern loanwords, it seems to me that the flow of vocabulary has been mainly from French and German into English, rather than vice-versa.

Decades ago, I did a class in Mandarin (now completely forgotten, except a few phrases). I don't think knowledge of Mandarin improved my understanding of my mother tongue at all.

So my surprise is that the researchers found no cognitive enhancement at all.

Perhaps their cognition test battery excludes those aspects of cognition that depend on thinking with words? It seems to me that I think mainly with words.
>"Pull requests were invented to gatekeep access to open-source projects. In open source, it's very common that not everyone is given free access to changing the code, so contributors will issue a pull request so that a trusted person can then approve the change. "I think this is really bad way to organise a development team. "If you can't trust your team mates to make changes carefully, then your version control system is not going to fix that for you."

This guy (not the post author, but Dave Farley, the guy who wrote the above excerpt) has never heard of "trust but verify".

PR is about verifying, having another set of eyes for anythine the original dev might have missed, giving an opinion before something on a branch goes into permanent git history, and so on.

This is completely orthogonal with whether you trust your team members or not. Besides "blind trust" is not the only form of trust.
This whole ICE thing is something even most of the German car manufacturers do not want. It was also not part of the coalition contract made by the government.

The smallest party (FDP) in the coalition went on a solo power trip against their partners. The partners relented because they need the FDP to fall in line with more important stuff.

Also worth noting that the FDP is currently getting voted out of more and more state parliaments because people are not happy with their work.
Java is still slower than C in its memory management for many cases, so we can safely say that this is not a solved problem.

I immediately sent this to my tetraplegic brother in-law. He cannot move his fingers so he uses a special device to precisely point on a touchscreen using his fist. It makes sense to me: other than the fingers, the tongue is probably the most precise output device on the body.
I feel the same way. I'm not a fan of the "Books" audiobook player Apple offers, but there really wasn't anything better on the app store. (or anywhere online that I could find).

More surprising was the lack of good podcast apps, again I ended up sticking with Apple's default app, which isn't great. It seems most of the good devs/designers only develop for iPhones these days, as there are a few great podcast app's to choose from.

Same as it already handles "speak like a pirate" and "in the style of Shakespeare" and "Python" and "Hungarian". From the perspective of the AI these are all just "dialects and accents".

As long as it will have enough data containing the different accents and dialects it will be able to handle it no problem.

Yeah it's definitely hard to learn another language when there are a lot of people who speak your language and you don't necessarily need to learn it to get by. I have a tip if you want German to feel a bit easier though, hop over to Czech Republic for a bit and take a couple of Czech classes. German will suddenly seem an order of magnitude simpler by comparison :)

Note: I'm not trying to trivialise your efforts to learn German, rather to encourage you by saying it could be much worse. For me I glance every now and then at Hungarian and Finnish and think "ok I can handle Czech"

What if I don't want to sideload, but some app I really want to use it says screw appstore and sideloading is the only way? For example to pay for parking or use a loyalty scheme in some shop. Of course, technically I could use other means or avoid such businesses altogether.
I came to the same approach in a past job.

One minor problem was that some functionality of that monolith was based on keeping big chunks of DB in memory. So on separated workloads, the instances dedicated to serve other functions, were keeping unnecessary data in memory, putting unneeded load on DB during startup. This could be solved by introducing some startup parameters. But for beginning this problem can be ignored.
There's a German idiom "turning an X into a U" (U being a V) with the origin about changing the number on a chalkboard recording your purchases in a pub. In a hand-written contract you can do the opposite, adding two lines to turn a V into an X.

Author here. As the comment above notes, it's a leak of the signing keys which would be needed to free this. The actual blob itself can be reversed and replaced with enough of someone's time. The only other prospect is a flaw in the code which verifies the signature. The PS3 ECDSA break was an amusing example of this (though technically in that case, actually a flaw in the signing code, not the verifying code).

I would think that organising your time when you're the manager is a far simpler act than organising your time when you're the managee.

I've lost track of what stage I've left all my important and creative tasks, on account of all the contrived "Urgent action required" emails and "PartyTime" deadlines.

PS: PartyTime is when the party starts at 8, so you tell everyone to come at six, to make sure they're there by seven. Which makes the diligent people come at 5 because they don't want to be late for the 6pm deadline; meanwhile the usual suspects arrive late at 10pm anyway.

> What benefit is there of learning Latin?

I had to do 10 years of Latin; I hated it. I eventually scraped a bare pass on my second try at the exam.

I'm sure my knowledge of my mother-tongue, English, is much enhanced by having studied Latin. To the extent that cognition is verbal[0], knowing your own language better must improve cognition?

[0] I suspect the researchers' definition of cognition is carefully tuned to exclude verbal thinking.

Yes, but generational ZGC (https://openjdk.org/jeps/439) has not been released yet. Possibly in JDK 21 this September.
Optimal memory behavior and lifetime is highly application specific, so the behavior of an automatic system likewise will be better for some applications than others.

In Java, the goal is to have something that performs reasonably well, without degenerative cases, for a wide variety of applications and services. It also has to handle cases where a monolithic code base results in a multitude of different memory behaviors. Even thinking too hard on the ideal behavior will negatively impact application code.

The research field of garbage collectors is a study of trade-offs.

A highly tuned, application-specific memory strategy will likely outperform Java, but the goal is to not require anyone to build such a thing for most software.

I would assume it’s because the i.MX8 has no path to not support HDCP, so if you’re using it your choices are not “nothing, HDMI, or HDMI + HDCP” it’s “nothing, or HDMI + HDCP”.

You can find old posts on the NXP forums talking about how disabling HDCP kills HDMI.

If the chip can do TB / DisplayPort, you could add a separate DP -> HDMI converter, but obviously that increases your costs.

I recently gave Kagi a try after using DDG, and signed up for their $10/month plan. However, I found myself running out of searches within the first 20 days, which left me feeling hesitant about making any additional searches due to the extra cost. While I do want to support Kagi's success, I personally found the cost of $10-15 per month for search to be a bit steep. Perhaps I have unrealistic expectations on how cheap search should be, but for now, I'm not sure if the cost is worth it for me.

Absolutely. JF adoption is very poor and packet dropping is a (frustrating) thing. To be compatible, DCs need to invest in really powerful border/backbone routers (and their configuration) for fast enough packet splitting.

PS: Even at CERN, where cooperation is supposedly tighter, JFs were only an experiment, and, AFAIR, not a very successful one.

The main problem with Youtube, and almost every other social site, is not the algorithm itself, but that the algorithm is the only way you can interact with that site. The moment you want to do something different, it just doesn't work.

Try watching the old videos of a channel you just discovered, that's 20 clicks and a lot of waiting just to get to the bottom of that endless scroll list. There is no user visible tracking of what you watched, no way to bookmark the end of that list and really nothing you can do than give up.

Don't like the over produced Youtube content and want something that gets to the point quicker? Well, use TikTok, since Youtube has exterminated that style of video quite successfully over the last decade with the help of their algorithm.

Meanwhile Shorts just feels utterly stupid, it's a broken interface with the ability to seek through the video removed. It's just annoying. The irony is that Youtube can display Shorts just like regular video, but you have to do some URL editing to do so. Most Shorts are just parts of full videos anyway, so there isn't even much point in having them. They should have called it YoutubeZap and just be time stamps into the interesting parts of videos that already exist on their site instead of this duplication of content.

Another big problem is how under utilized playlists are. They exist, but since you can't subscribe or pin them, you'll have forgotten that they exist by the time you open up Youtube again.

The algorithm itself also has some big problems, such as never being able to put multipart videos together properly. When you see a video marked with "Part 4", you'd think the other parts would show up, but they don't or when they do it often skips parts.

And of course the algorithm filter bubbles you to an extreme. You get exactly the recommendations for the videos you just watched. It doesn't really try to broaden your horizon. It ignores your subscriptions. And really just doesn't have a way to change directions. The only thing that worked for me was to create different browser profiles with different accounts and switch between them, that keeps recommendations for different topics apart. And whenever I click a wrong video I have to go into the history and clean it up, or the profile is turned into a mess for weeks.

As watch-time optimizer and ad delivery machine the algorithm does a good job. But it really feels like the algorithm is using you, more than the other way around.

However, the BBC is an exception: all their productions seem to use Roman numerals.

A great reminder that memes don't make for good arguments.

It's also funny how you missed the whole context, even despite further detailed explanation.

>I'd still like to see you explain what you meant by "The app store process and notarization also means apps can be revoked", because it sounds like you don't even have a correct technical understanding of the situation.

It means that arbitrary sideloading can't be revoked, whereas app store apps and notarized apps (not the same set, though the latter is a subset of the former) can.

Sideloaded apps bypass the app store, but you still need a central entity that has the notarization control/ability to revoke. And of course notarized software is still checked by that entity (e.g. Apple for notarized macOS apps).
Unless there is an exploitable bug in the bootloader, or the HDMI memory locking logic, or someone leaks the key.

Or, cleaner but less "realistic", the people making these things just sit down and decide to release the key, or make chips without the limitation. I mean it is all man-made, there is no physical law saying this can't be done. If you ignore the financial and IP dimensions for a second, just on technical merits, it is a no-brainer.

It’s ‘standard practice’ for many frameworks like Rails which encourage the pattern via a separate deployment of the async worker tier.

But outside of these frameworks, you won’t often see it. And especially in languages like Go which tend to avoid opinionated frameworks it’s common not to see a split like this, even when it might be really beneficial.

As with most programming concepts, standard practice varies a lot depending on the tools you use. It’s why I thought this post was worth writing, in that there are many people who haven’t run Rails/etc frameworks before and may not have considered this approach!

Genuinely looking for evidence of this counterpoint you're making. As the evidence for the security angle is proven. iOS takes less than 1% of malware, Android takes nearly 50%, in between we have Windows, IoT devices and even MacOS taking more malware than iOS.

So where's the data that this strategy isn't working to protect iOS devices? I want to see it.

WunderGraph founder here. In case you don't know us, here's a link: https://wundergraph.com or GitHub https://github.com/wundergraph/wundergraph.

There are many architectural differences, but most importantly WunderGraph is Open Source (Apache 2.0 & MIT) and can run anywhere. It's a simple docker container. We're local first, and you can run WG offline.

Our focus is really enterprise API Integration. Most of our customers are small to large teams that have to integrate a lot of REST & GraphQL APIs. We could have never built such a vibrant open source community if you couldn't run WG in a private network.

Another big difference is configuration. A few years ago I did some experiments to configure the predecessor of WunderGraph using just GraphQL syntax. I think GraphQL is great, but ultimately has limitations in terms of what it's good for. After these experiments, we've decided to have all configuration in TypeScript and never looked back.

That said, I'd like to congratulate Grafbase to the public beta. I think Grafbase and WunderGraph can actually work together nicely. As Grafbase exposes a GraphQL API, you can easily plug that into WG and get the best of both tools.

Ultimately, it's great so see more and more solutions in the GraphQL segment. We need to make GraphQL & APIs easier and more accessible. Competition will force everyone to improve and push the boundaries. For a very long time, there were very limited options in this market. It's getting much better these days. The big winner will be the user who gets to chose better options.
