So is using binary packers like UPX. Not just will they sound the alarm in a lot of so called security products, but they'll also prevent the operating system from sharing the RAM used to mmap() read-only and read-execute pages from the executable while increasing startup times. Removing random sections will also cause headaches when it comes to tracing and debugging in production. Just accept that those sections fulfil real world requirements and aren't just shiny nerd knobs for knobs to mess with. If your code isn't worth being traceable/debuggable in production it's not worth having it installed on production servers.

Also don't go too far with the build flags or you risk waking the sleeping horrors lurking in the seldom tested dark corners of the compilers and linkers we all rely on e.g. accidentally changing the effective ABI through tricks like smaller enums. Some of those bugs may only trigger on certain architectures e.g. exception handling works differently on amd64 and aarch64. On one of the two uses special an extra section to locate the unwind helpers. Do you know the all implications of removing a section from an executable? sigh

Please keep bloat down, but eager developers shouldn't too far beyond the point of quickly diminishing returns within a given ecosystem they're targeting.
Just an FYI because I see a particular piece of info repeated everywhere.

The fed is NOT out to increase unemployment or lower wages. They are out to combat inflation. Making money more expensive to borrow does this. Corporations may choose to lower wages or lay folks off, but they don't have to. The fed could care less. They aren't out to get workers. Note that I'm not defending them, but you are the 4th person to claim that the fed is looking to increase unemployment and decrease wages. If inflation hit zero tomorrow, rate changes would stop.

tl;dr - please stop confusing correlation and causation.
> Imagine you didnt have law on shape and voltage of ordinsry power plugs in a house, and if you buy a samsung power socket to ibstall in your house, you mist buy samsung fridge and samsung washing machine and samsung hair dryer

You seem to be conflating the wall socket with the on-device socket.

I have several AC powered devices that use the same wall socket plug but have different on-device sockets - some with very different shapes. Even a single manufacturer may require different power cables: the original PS2, PS3, and PS4 all have different and incompatible power sockets and cables (squared/polarized 2-prong, "standard" 3-prong, and figure-8 2-prong, respectively).

US homes often have 220V sockets for large appliances (electric clothes dryers) as well as 110V sockets for smaller appliances (handheld hair dryers.) The sockets/plugs/cables are different and are not compatible.

As I understand it, every iPhone already comes with a charging cable in the box that plugs into a standard USB C power socket. Already better than anything with a wall wart power supply.

But I'm pretty much in favor of addressing the absurd proliferation of incompatible wall warts and other DC power supplies, even though they plug into the same wall socket.
> Of course, the customers complain about the price, so the question is, why not just buy something cheaper? Because that would defeat the whole point, which is to buy prestige.

You're basing your whole argumentation on the fact that only money can provide prestige which is upside down. The community provides prestige. History provides prestige. They just happen to have captured it and monetized it.

In fields like compsci -- at least in the subfield of programming languages which i know about -- the most prestigious journals and conferences are being run by independent (non-profit) institutions, charge pennies and publish open access. They are still prestigious.

I agree that one should not deceive their employer. At the same time, if their employer does not notice a drop in productivity/performance from the employee, what's that say about that company's ability to actually measure employee performance?

I think a lot of companies have poor project management & employee performance measurements, so half the time, people only have half the picture or don't know what the heck people are supposed to be doing and if that's actually getting done. That only becomes more complicated when projects are abandoned and/or requirements shift every quarter.
By market cap it is, by a wide margin.

At least the CAPE ratio is below 30... For people whose retirement funds have basically "recovered" from the peak, that's good news for rational markets since CAPE was around 38 back then. Of course, that's just relatively speaking. CAPE is still very high; just going by that there is still room for a major crash.
> I also have a pretty bright monitor (it's an Apple Thunderbolt Display that I got for a pittance from my old office when they switched to Dell monitors). So that may be influencing me towards slightly less contrast.

This part of your problem: if you're doing any design work, understand the specification you're designing for. This goes for any photographer, print designer, or web dev.

sRGB, bt709, rec2020, and SDR content in rec2100 contexts define the brightness of white as 100 nits, and is generally considered acceptable to be between 100 and 120 (as you often need to offset for ambient lighting to maintain perceptual white).

Your perception of both luma and chroma contrast, but also your perception of color itself, changes over the range of brightness your eye can perceive; the organic gamma curve of your eye also changes. Example: sRGB gamma and bt1886 EOTF are intended to be used with content that has a 2.4 gamma and a near-D65 whitepoint at around 100 nits; the same content at "theater darkness" (48 nits) will be encoded with a warmer/yellower white point, at 2.6 gamma, to maintain perceptual similarity.

And why is this? The rods (low light vision) and cones (bright light and colors vision) in your eye have different organic gamma curves (incl. each of the three cones have different curves in-of themselves), and the rods do not respond to all visible light equally and have a broad "color" of their own and rods continue to function and influence perception in bright light situations.

You can argue, "but Diablo, most people do not calibrate their displays", which is absolutely true; most displays, however, are manufactured with defaults that mimic the intended use of sRGB and bt709 content, and users, left to their own devices, generally will choose a brightness that approximates 100 nits plus an appropriate offset for ambient.

However, even for your own personal website, buy a colorimeter, whip out the DisplayCal software, set your profile to "Video (D65, BT1886)" (not "sRGB" due to modern content being mastered entirely for displays manufactured in the past 15 years; BT1886 handles perceptional similarity and better in dark values than sRGB's weirdly defined ramp), and then enjoy being able to author content for a wide range of displays.
Yeah, I don't really understand why people are making a big deal about this. Two lambda functions passing data to step functions? Not exactly the best serverless architecture. And if you think about the problem of checking video streams, there is really no reason to scale different parts of it independently because you just need one process to watch the video and check for errors. Plus they still deployed the new solution on ECS, so it isn't really a monolith application that runs on a fixed number of servers. It's a real nothing story - the Prime Video team was just doing some engineering maintenance.

Honestly the bigger story is that it was mischaracterized from the beginning, but I would imagine that is more a result of things coming together from multiple different systems and teams more than the way someone designed this stuff.

Joan Bastardas habla de la extrañeza de la existencia de la palabra ensinistrar del catalán, puesto que tiene un significado claramente positivo a pesar de ser derivado de siniestro-a. «... ensinistrar que no deixa de sorprendre els qui s´acosten al català des d´altres llengües romàniques, en què les idees d´habilitat i aptesa s´associen amb la mà dreta i no amb la mà esquerra, el castellà adiestrar, l´italià addestrare; en francès hi ha dexterité, però també en català hi ha destresa i destre-a 'hàbil', 'expert', i també maldestre, com el francès maladroit».

And maybe this again proves the initial comment's point.

And (the misconception) that it costs more.

If you take a managed database with a free tier and compare it there are similarly managed databases (SQL) based with a free tier. Not really fair to say PG will cost more.

This also comes down to the world is not just AWS. k8s is cheap in a lot of places and definitely not hundreds a month.

Not OOP but - they sell you pop science (or economics or what have you) and make you think that after reading 1 book you'll be an expert in that field.

Most people haven't studied any single field deeply, and they don't know how many hours of commitment it takes, how much practice, how much failure, how many projects & validated hypotheses it takes to actually understand something.

Reading a book written for non-experts is barely going to give you a sense of what you don't know, nothing more.

They're implying, "read this and you'll become an expert." Again try to read this through the eyes of someone who hasn't become an expert at anything. That's the target audience. Anyone who has, would never read the most popular book on a subject to learn from it, They'd read the introductory books meant for people who are planning to go on to study that subject.

Seeing all the acolytes of serverless get triggered by this has been enjoyable to watch
This is about the classic trick of speculating on values using branch prediction (if value == expected then f(expected) else f(value)), which is always fun to see. But be careful in OCaml, as the memory model relies on the memory ordering of data dependencies (e.g. on Arm) to ensure memory-safety, so I suspect that this trick might be in general memory-unsafe in the presence of data races (more precisely values from other threads might be seen before their initialization). (OCaml memory-safety claims do not apply here because it uses Obj.magic.)

> I might as well say that you should run everything on PHP. I guess that's boring too?

PHP can't run everything though. If we go by the traditional model it's per request and fails at things like websockets. It's also less performant than a JVM solution, so definitely can't serve every use case.

For work notes, a Markdown file in VS Code. I have my to-do list in Markdown format like this:

Jun 2

* [~] Task A

* [x] Task B

* [ ] Task B

This free-form (but still semi-structured) helps me add long free text notes to a task and thoughts-in-progress, which most Todo lists don't really support.

Finally, I use Logseq to record fragments in a topic area that I'm ideating or trying to learn. Logseq's bullet point as an element is reminiscent of Lisp, where everything are atoms and lists. The list is a very powerful data structure, and certainly Logseq's querying and tagging abilities have enabled me to combine the "dump it first, sort it later" workflow to the "let's try to make sense of everything I dumped" without a lot of work needed to pre-tag everything.

I've always been a fan of "dump it first, sort it later" because it doesn't presume any kind of structure (most people tend to overinvest in developing a system). With Logseq, you can pretty much freely dump without developing a system that AND STILL be able to retrieve information in a useful way. Such is the power of the list (as most Lispers already know).

I mean, high-quality work should be paid. Obviously.

But now we're making a full U-turn to my initial argument: LISP doesn't have features that I find are (or should be) basic building blocks so I am just taking my business elsewhere.
We had apple passkey posts over the last few months with people salivating over it but suddenly they hear google and suddenly the feature is evil from the start.

I'm not defending passkeys but you people need to pick a side to shill for.

The sample seems to be from one hospital.

> The study analyzed 585 patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) at Northwestern Memorial Hospital

Generalizing that to every hospital in the country or the world seems a bit hasty, to say the least, so "debunks" is clickbait. Of course the "contrarians" lapped it up. Personally, my takeaway is to avoid Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
> Also I find it way easier to convince people coming from a dynamic language background to try it out vs Java which they find less approachable.

It's just a sad fact of Kotlin is not Java. There are lots of people out there that just hate on Java as a hype train.

Vim.

It replaced an astonishing number of individual apps. Apart from using it as an IDE, I also have a wiki-style vault where I add ideas, useful commands, to do lists, recipes, lecture notes, etc. I integrate the text files in various bash scripts, e.g for generating notifications related to my to do list. And staying in the terminal dramatically reduces exposure to distractions and dopamine spikes. It also encourages a hands-on attitude, rather than passive consumption.
ARC is hardly stillborn. This may surprise you, but Intel has no issue moving GPUs. They are targeting low->mid end, which is an unpopular segment for hardcore gamers, but it is actually the largest segment.

The whole reason they didn't kill ARC to begin with is the volume + margin. Arc isn't profitable overall due to development costs, and margins aren't great, but on a per unit cost Intel is making money. Similar situation to when AMD started getting hot and heavy into console development.
