Maybe I’ve just fallen out of love with the nitty gritty of programming but this blogger sounds insufferable. If I’m wearing a duck duck go shirt and someone comes up and wants to talk about how DDG uses/used bing I’m not going to engage in this conversation. Who the fuck wants to talk about the Golang GC just because you have a Golang shirt on? Also, how condescending to assume the person doesn’t think about it at all. This sort of monologue is gross and the writer is an asshole.
Pablo, turning the question towards you, what would you have liked to know about Elixir up-front before using it to build an authorization server at Ramp? Let's get an honest take.

You will have to buy the Raspberry Pi from 3 children in a trenchcoat in the subterranean parking of the abandoned mall, but it should work.
The HL7 V3 standard is mostly dead. Only the Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) offshoot of V3 still survives in widespread use. You can find examples here.

Most new HL7 work has moved on to FHIR which is essentially "HL7 V4".

LOC is not instruction.
I see it is basically C, so a single LOC (think about an "if" or any loop instruction) would require more than a bunch of MC instructions.

Aside from the risk of breaking things, there's the risk of data leaks and enabling surveillance through negligence or intentional back doors.

Hardware and software companies have a story of implementing anti-user features in very shady ways (ie silent update to T&C allowing the org to track and share data with third parties and/or brokers).

I don't care if my smart Philips light bulb shares all its data with god knows who. My router? that's the device that manages all connections including critical ones. I want it to be impeccable and transparent.
That's why I refuse to buy from manufactures that require a could account like Eeroo or that require weird connections to work properly like Tenda (a friend had a Tenda mesh and it wouldn't work if we blocked connections to Baidu, Weibo and others)

Kids these days want to build games and discord bots. They don’t want to build little text-based adventure games. And if you want to do those things you’re going to use a language that’s mature and has libraries built for that purpose.

I do like the breakdown the author gave. But the “atmosphere” component should not be underestimated: I haven’t given up on any languages but I’ve given up on dependencies because I’ve run into errors that I couldn’t find a solution to online.
That's only true if you think they value money more than power. If power is what they care about more, then they could absolutely believe that creating chaos could be more to their advantage. Given the global rise in authoritarianism, and given that in times of trouble people shift toward favoring authoritarians, it's entirely plausible to me that there are political actors who will create the problems that they then claim they will solve.
I don't think there is a consumer market for head mounted AR anymore - if there ever really was. That makes me sad having been in AR since 2010 - and knowing what we could do with it if done right.

I just don't think society currently has an appetite for a $3000 product that gives the wearer visual superpowers (that is the promise after all) and is an impossible to ignore distinction between classes. I honestly think we're at the point where I wouldn't be surprised if it's google glass all over again x 100, where unhinged people are attacking and pulling these expensive devices off of people's heads [1][2].

Maybe in 2017 when AR was really hot could it have gotten adoption, but as it stands in 2023 the average consumer is starting to reject this level of tech and fewer and fewer people have the wallet that could support this.

I also suggest avoiding a comparison with the VR market - the only thing they have in common is that it's a thing you put on your face. The infrastructure, deployment, product features, economics, user interfaces, battery, environmental use, UX, legal etc... are all doubly complex with HMD AR over HMD VR

I think it's going to continue to be a long time before persistent everywhere HMD AR is going to be a reality

This author needs to understand with web/api programming, even using JVM, Go, etc still require Celery/Sidekiq/WakaQ for siloing. You don't want some developer using Go to hog 100% of all webserver CPU doing something concurrently but which should have been done on a background server.

McDonald's Employees Can't Accept Tips – But That May Soon Change in Colorado
Who says I'm obsessing about it? The comment made an exaggerated statement about the visual aspect of a video game on a community known for being sticklers for detail and spec because they're technical as a demographic, their jobs are also technical. You cannot bullshit this demographic and ass-pull subjective hot takes on something measurable.

Address the point at hand, don't go off on some tirade about how much someone else loves it, that doesn't negate the fact that it runs very poorly on existing, released official hardware.

Who says I'm complaining? You are projecting so much of your emotions onto what I had to say and completely ignoring what I'm responding to.

It's a fact. A fact is not a complaint, it's an observation and measurable spec. Are scientists just obsessing?

Wow, that is a really good example of how bad things have gotten. That software is both confusing and very ugly.

One thing I've thought about is some kind of "Quick tooltip", like a toggle to make the UI always show tooltips instantly on hover. That could be an accessibility feature built into the OS.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I feel like the free domains are unreliable and have weird conditions. I also I think it's been said before some of the sites offering them are suspect: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27951785

I was just thinking for personal projects & game servers, would be nice to have a bunch of cheap domains one could use.
Generally curious, but how do you (and everyone else) know when the game drops to a certain framerate, and how do you know exactly what framerate it's running at? Are you actually measuring it somehow, or do you just "feel" it?
Pair Programming with ChatGPT
I rewrote my blog/personal website, formerly hosted on squarespace, with one built from scratch using ChatGPT4 even though I'm not a competent programmer.

I wrote the project + my workflow + what it made me think about how LLMs will change how we work.

the highlights:
* i had so much fun
* i was able to build a rhythm with ChatGPT of feature -> scope -> implementation -> testing and build iteratively the same way I would with an engineering team
* i came away thinking that product / engineering / design were going to become a lot more similar as day to day roles
You're getting downvoted, but you're right.

>I wanted to talk about its garbage collector (1, 2), its cooperative scheduler that many people think is a preemptive scheduler, its very loose approach to correctness… and he didn't want to talk about any of that.

This is not the way an emotionally intelligent person approaches a conversation. The idea that a conversation should be a demonstration of ones own knowledge is a pretty common notion I see with socially-stunted geek types. Growing up with a narrow or minimal social group will do that, it's no one's fault, but it's a pretty clear indicator this person's advice on interpersonal relationships shouldn't be taken too seriously.

In the same way you can tell immediately from a blogpost that someone is an inexperienced engineer, the takeaway from this one for me is that the author is an inexperienced friend.
this is why you start with a minimum viable product. Something like Snapchat specs. And then iterate from there

Instead they've been spending $1b/yr developing something that will never be finished

Mitzi the Cat (2021)
Once in a while, you should swap out the PM’s personality with a new one and your robot HR manager can make the firing announcement. Come to think of it, every company could use a few AI-based middle managers for entertainment purposes.
Do you ever wonder why it is that politicians that are, at least nominally, ultimately responsible for signing $6.3 trillion in checks every year only manage to enrich themselves to the tune of a few dozen millions at best? The fry cook at McDonalds gets a larger share of the overall take.

I have two possible explanations. 1) Our politicians are remarkably morally virtuous, and there is virtually no graft and corruption whatsoever. 2) Our politicians are front-men for the actual powers that be and are compensated on a model similar to WWE superstars. In the latter case it's the financial interests of the PTB that will control, not those of the politicians.
Yeah, I plugged a NUC into my TV, installed Pop OS on it, and got a Pepper Jobs USB gyro-remote to control it, and it instantly upgraded my living room.

I previously used my PS4 for watching everything, but having a full desktop OS is just way better: I can browse the web on my TV, control it remotely with my laptop's keyboard and mouse using Barrier, open multiple live feeds in picture-in-picture mode, play music in the background of whatever I'm watching, etc. Also, when I'm watching sports and they go to a side-by-side commercial break, I use the zoom accessibility feature to zoom in on the tiny live feed so I can watch that full screen without seeing any ads haha.

I'd be curious to know more about how you configured KDE. I run a pretty vanilla Pop OS setup right now, which is more usable than I expected with my USB remote, but I've been meaning to explore how to set up something more "smart TV"-like that's a bit easier to navigate. My initial thought was to write a browser extension or a custom app with an embedded browser, but that feels like a bit too much work for something that's supposed to be a leisure/entertainment setup.

The only reason Apple is subject to the Irish DPA and not those of another country is they chose backdoor tax avoidance.
I think you're kind of mixing up version or release numbers there. HL7 has several major standards: V2 Messaging, V3 (including CDA), and FHIR. And each of those has gone through multiple releases. FHIR was on R4 for a couple years and R5 was recently published.
> As for efficiency, recall that there were hundreds of /bin/sh scripts in startup, administration, and everyday operation of the system, from all of the /etc/rc.d/ (sub)scripts through things in cron and build systems and package install/deinstall scripts to bunches of commands that were /bin/sh scripts under the covers. So multiply that difference by several orders of magnitude.

I think this is unacceptable. I know it feels acceptable, but I think it's not.
It would seem nobody wants to be good at only printing one picture.
The point I was reacting to was "tests = accredited proof of knowledge" and that any other use of testing is corrupt.

MIT's accreditation is based on MIT's reputation, not tests. They can do tests however they want.
It's interesting reading stuff like this. I think the author is missing a perspective that all the programming languages that he's listed are old and have stacks of features that were introduced because of feelpinions, fashion and sometimes function.

Complaining about python being slow, or java being verbose and golang being tricky etc. who cares. The stuff people have done in them in highly networked global environments is where a large focus of innovation is. This is the author missing the forest for the trees.
I imagine this is a sign of what's coming for everything outside of software as well. Can't wait to not find my car, bicycle or fridge one morning, because the model is no-longer supported and they decide to get themselves repossessed and walked away. Or they just brick themselves.
It is included in every program in MacOS, so maybe others will follow one day?
>I mean, I hate to break it to you all, but all y'all obsessing about FPS are the minority. By a lot.

Sure but once you play a game on high refresh rate (+120hz) it's soooo smooth that after it everything below that looks like a PowerPoint presentation. Even doing coding or just browsing the web on a 60hz display looks terrible. And playing a game on 30fps with occassional drops to 20... just terrible no matter what.

(And yes it's not just shooters and competitive games there are countless good single player games with high frame rate gameplay)
Seems pretty simple. If you could have UI overlayed on the world around you, it would be huge, and would change how people use computers, like the smartphone did.

The current stumbling block is that the tech sucks and the headsets are enormous. If someone got it into a lightweight pair of glasses or contact lenses, the use case is obvious, and it would be a big of a shift as the smartphone.

Denying this is like being the guy in 1993 saying “why would I want a computer in my pocket? Am I going to work on spreadsheets on a tiny screen in the bathrooom? And where would I plug it in?”
We are less developed because no other country in the world has this debt ceiling structure (Denmark's is way different and no other country even has one). It is sad that it is used to simply as a tool to cut programs for poor people to give rich people tax breaks.

I've seen Switch Gifs when the game is under stress and they don't look too fluid. I'm talking with giant contraptions flying in the sky and all that.
Disagree. While I always felt that I want to achieve more than these regular old CRUD apps, no “10xer” would implement them faster/better - because “these systems are building the rails in front of the train”, and it is not even an engineering problem most of the time. I have worked at banks and the amount of back-and-forth between what the bank wants and what the devs need to know is insane, not well specified, always changing, etc..

Hell, it is often the case that requirements change up the whole program logic based on which country it is being used from. It has a much different complexity than a JIT compiler, but it is a super-human, not-really-compressible complexity nonetheless.
I don't think it really classes as woo-woo - replacing live chat operatives with an LLM is a pretty straight forward and obvious use case.

Besides, the full 55k are about all automation, restructuring and digitisation efforts. Doesn't sound entirely unreasonable.

They probably are also looking to justify investment and say that they are investing into making the business more profitable for the next 7 years, so don't expect too much profit until after this investment is done.
I think this is where we are with a lot of clean tech. It's really obvious to everyone that something must be done. It's even fairly simple to derive from first principles what that something should be - lots of renewables, mainly solar, energy storage, electrification of everything that can be electrified and synthetic fuel for the rest.

But it's not happening? Why? Because the market isn't there. There's simply no way for the changes required to compete with an almost unlimited supply of free energy pouring from the ground. And until clean tech is profitable, it will not be built.

I'd love a few politicians to realise this and start taxing carbon at the moment it leaves the ground. That would truly create a market for clean tech. But of course, that would be political suicide. So they don't.
Thats a fantastic idea. I'll add it to my roadmap!

These sorts of issues usually wind up in court, in which the circuit court would then certainly have the ability to force CO into acting properly. WY would just need to show that there was indeed damage. States fighting happens all the time (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-state_water_dispute for example), but rarely does it need to become a federal issue.
I recently wrote a long piece about why I think Apple will win the AR/VR wars.

They might have a rocky start, but they still have a lot of advantages.

1. AR will devour smartphones.

2. Apple is the only company that can quickly overcome consumer AR/VR design challenges.

3. Apple has positioned itself to distribute the best AR/VR content.

4. Apple will cement its early lead with a new blue-bubble effect.

Oh, so, now China is the new IMF? Are they also requiring governments to privatize and cut social spending in education, health and housing like the IMF does?
You just compared a family YT plan to a single user Netflix plan. The single user plans are equivalent in cost as are the family plans.
I understand the lack of appetite for old FORTRAN 77 code, but PRIMA is a modern Fortran implementation.

You only need Python's ctypes module to load the compiled Fortran library thanks to Fortran's iso_c_binding module.

Not the purpose of the article but as I am a bit negative on Ruby, and I am neutral to positive on Java...

"Ruby is so much better than Java! Look at how you open a file in Java (shows you 30 lines) vs. Ruby! (2 lines)"

Ruby Example.

================

begin
File.open("/path/to/your/file.txt", "r") do |file|
file.each_line do |line|
puts line
end
end
rescue Errno::ENOENT
puts "File not found"
rescue Exception => e
puts "An error occurred: #{e.message}"
end

Java Example, one line less than Ruby ( no imports shown but could also be required for external Gems )

================

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String filePath = "/path/to/your/file.txt";
try (Stream<String> lines = Files.lines(Paths.get(filePath))) {
lines.forEach(System.out::println);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

With Apple Silicone, I think Apple is in the perfect place to take advantage of the AI craze to sell hardware with something like "Neural Engine V2". If they can figure out how to run AI workloads at fraction of the cost of what is costs on current hardware, I can see there being a huge market for their Mac's and they could even bring back XServe and become the predominant player in the "Server Hardware for AI" space.

FWIW, my experience (being a 45yo who immigrated to North America at 15) is that "Culture of fake niceness" predates "Culture of Emotional intelligence and empathy"

I find in last few years, many people/groups/companies are working toward increased emotional intelligence and empathy. I see that as a good thing. It just gets mixed up with the original "somewhat real but also somewhat fake classless friendly positive culture".

It's... nice that I can call my client Bob and my VP Laurie, instead of Mr Neubauer and Mz Jameson. It's nice that we speak as equals. It's however false to then erroneously assume that we are equals or that we have equal relationship, so there are layers and nuances to lessons a newbie to north american corporate life needs to learn and internalize.

Anyhoo, what I'm getting to: the "original corporate fake positiveness/niceness" indeed could suck the life out of me. The "new & improved show empathy and grow emotional intelligence" I quite enjoy; it's a good challenge for systems-oriented nerd actually. I always think "What leads us to Star Trek future" and I think empathy is a key factor. So showing empathy in code review is good. Showing sterile niceness and avoiding constructive criticism is bad. It can be easy to mix them up though.
