Right. The point of wanting to avoid redraws is for performance. Sure, you avoid redundant redraws in web browsers, but it defeats the point because the browser is slow compared to native, even with those avoided redraws.

> but the premise that "web is slow" has been disproven so many times already.

No it is not. Though it seems proven that even with very powerful hardware users in general have been pushed to minimal expectations. So GUIs that take seconds to start or respond on multi Ghz processors and multi GB RAMs are considered fast now.

This argument is web GUI is fast is more of "It's been proven multiple times meal kits are cheaper than buying groceries from store". Yeah, someone can find really cheap meal kits if they spend many hours on hunting a deal. But in general case grocery in store is plain cheaper for most of reasonable shoppers.
That’s because most of the things we need are temporary services, of course. You need dinner. And gas to get to work. And a roof that will last 10 years. Etc.
Surprised you didn't pick ScyllaDB over cassandra.. ScyllaDB has excellent out of the box support for Golang Change Data Capture and can handle much more load given the same hardware as Cassandra. It has nice integration with stuff like Confluent as well. Given ScyllaDB is mostly drop-in replacment I guess it would be quite straight-forward to swap it out if someone wanted, I guess

Try cooking only one thing at the time. With pressure, the cooker is going to push water deep into what you put into it, yes, but the result is that everything mixes and will taste the same especially if you mix vegetables and meat.

Generally, vegetables together are "safer" taste-wise.

I creeated Small Visual Basic to solve this issue. It's based on SB but more powerful, and it is actually an easy incarnate to the dot net platform, so, actually easier that C and even python and more powerful as it leads to learn a powerful commercial system (VS.NET).

Immediate mode GUIs have significant limitations. You can probably lie to your end users by saying the API is immediate mode styled, but actually retained under the hood (and I think to some degree, this already happens today with cached state), but I think that defeats the point.

We can't really say for certain much at the moment, but what I stated makes the most sense based on the evidence we have.

That non-self-aware impulse-to-live is morally equivalent to a plant seeking sunlight IMO.

> It would feel morally significant to me euthanizing a human neonate with a lethal condition that would otherwise prevent it from ever getting to a self-aware stage of life.

The difference is humans have an innate potential for self-awareness that the animals we eat for food do not.
> It's also quite natural, i think, to want to use multiple separate streams.

i dont think i'd call it natural per se - i'd say it's just "easy" to do so, and especially if each of these separate streams are managed by different teams, and it makes business sense to separate the responsibility.

There should be a framework, perhaps, to allow "multiplexing" of multiple streams of events into one actual tcp connection. Of course, this requires some work, but i dont think it's actually that much extra work. It just needed to be planned out as a need, as it might be a tad hard to tack it on after the fact (tho that's not impossible either).

Any company that acquired that relationship between you and these people may have been acquired or gone out of business and sold this info as an asset, all within their TOS.

You're describing WSL2, but the post you quoted explicitly said WSL1.
Guess who is responsible for overseeing/establishing that environment and structure?

Also: A organization can have foggier responsibility structures than "the boss says $X which is why $X is done".

E.g. you could have a boss who says safety is truly important and even does a ton to help with that, while lower management is so obsessed with other metrics that they sabotage that on a conscious or subconscious level while emulating compliance to their higher ups.

This is very common.

The "evil boss"-scenario is the simple one where it should be very clear that Joe is not to blame. This is precisely why it is important to also look at less clear ones where it would be easy to blame the accident on individual human error — instead of finding the actual root causes.

Wise human. I made the same decision.

HN Comments section is endlessly frustrating, but is also, as my meditation coach always used to say, the perfect teacher. Sometimes an argument is won, but the interlocutor fails to notice. In these cases, no matter how frustrating, the argument is still won. While tempting, nothing is gained by explaining to them the interlocutor that they've lost; the not-noticing is itself the unfakeable signal of the fact.

For anyone not in the Tekken scene (the video explains better than I will) Pakistan came out of nowhere and took the world by storm. Usually, it was Korean and Japanese players that dominated, with a few Americans sprinkled here and there.

But little did we know, Pakistan was brewing up a new type of player that we had never seen before, and were completely defenseless against (regarding the meta at the time). Arslan was and is a force of nature. The funny part is that when he first began to get fame, he made it clear that he was in no way the best player in Pakistan.

Top level players in Japan and Korea now regularly fly out to Pakistan to practice.
I don’t think stinknet requires cleared land. Vegetation in the Arizona desert doesn’t form an unbroken canopy. Water is the limiting factor, and stinknet is apparently more efficient than any native plant at immediately converting water into explosive growth and immensely prodigious seed production.

It may well be that the natural course for stinknet is to dominate all other desert vegetation to such an extent that it forms a monoculture that fails to maintain ground nutrients and creates evolutionary pressure toward symbiosis with native plants. But it could take a hundred thousand years for Arizona stinknet to become a good citizen.
Why then is there an uptick since 2012, for example? Your theory doesn't explain this, while the author's does.

We can't just consider all theories equal because they are all in the realm of the possible.

Some evidence, while not proof, strongly points toward social media being the cause or at least a very strong factor.

I agree with multiple other commenters here, that banning phones in school would be a high reward chances / low risk decision.

Maybe implementations have much less value than has been assumed and paid for by stakeholders over the decades. If code is a throw-away implementation detail of some model/abstraction then why are we getting paid so much money again?

I've been programming professionally close to 16 years. Here is what I can remember of my code:

# Job 1 (3 yrs)

- Worked on around three products, all shut down, code probably lives in some SVN archive.
- Learnt advanced JS, PHP, MySQL, Photoshop, jQuery etc (skills mostly relevant)

# Job 2 (1.6 years)

- Project never launched, code never saw the light of the day. Probably lives in some Git archive.
- Learnt a few in-house frameworks (irrelevant) but also leant Git (relevant)

# Job 3 (8.5 years)

- Worked on several products, the biggest one is still active and seeing millions of users weekly. Rest got shut down and live in a Git repo.
- Learnt about some inhouse frameworks (irrelevant). React, React Native (skills still relevant)

# Job 4 (2 years)

- Actively working
- Learnt Vue (skills still relevant)

Nobody can build their own wallet directly from raw materials. Even in the very unlikely event that they had the know-how, they would still require highly specialised equipment manufactured by third parties. Therefore users of "crypto" have no option but to rely on goods and services provided by third parties just like everybody else. And the extent to which consumers can choose which parties to rely on (or "trust") depends entirely on the degree of competition in the market. Crypto isn't special with regards to trust. Calling it "trustless" is false advertising.

Download pirated copies of protools and melodyne, and a bunch of virtual instrument libraries from torrents. Download a midi file for a song you like, dump it into protools. Record yourself singing, right on the PC or headset mic - no need to hit the right notes. Dump the voice instrument and your voice recording into Melodyne and drag the voice to match the notes on the voalc tone track. Now set up a link from your Melodyne track into a protools track.

Then go wild, play around, apply filters, do fun stuff. You might get stuck in the fun for a week and it'll keep you awake late.

Once you're done, think about doing all that on a web page or a web page pretending to be a local app. Then reread your comment.

Oh by the way, you will need to install a new raw driver for your soundcard. You see, something like a 5ms audio latency you get from you normal windows sound driver, is too slow. Give some thought on how slow doing anything in JS is going to be, if a native hardware driver is too slow.
I do not rule out that one exists, but what tool looks simpler (I wanted to say ‘nicer’, but I think we should avoid ‘it looks ugly’ arguments; I think those largely are about familiarity) once you start building something from code written in multiple programming languages?

And what tool is as powerful that doesn’t have the ‘problem’ that a lot of people never learn it fully? (Why would I learn make or any other tool to the full? I browse its manual so that I know what it can do, and (hopefully) remember features exist when I need them, so that I can (often temporarily) learn them then)
It was mainly a demonstration of a pattern, yes, implementation was a secondary consideration. But there are ways to make this approach work as well.

I'm mystified that there would be an expectation of accuracy based on it knowing a response that happened to be accurate to a question about the one word they knew off the top of their head.

The one word they remembered.
Well, yes, to put a finer point on it. I meant, if it has been spoken [in the context of a conversation and understood by more than a single person in said conversation], it is a word. I don't think it needs to be defined in a dictionary or agreed upon by a committee in order for it to become an official word. Even if you don't agree with it.

A dictionary is a good place for someone to confirm the meaning of a word, and in the context of a professional written piece- it's probably wise to stick to words that can be looked up in this manner. But, on the other hand, YOLO.
I enjoy Adam Curtis films the way I used to enjoy Jame Burke's Connections: As impressionistic history, entertaining art, montages of feelings, ideas and suspicions. They are daydreams and hallucinations of the past that offer explanations where there are none, not to be taken seriously but as a way of mulling things over. For our consideration. Like Bill Hicks said, life is a ride. Curtis films make that clear, fun and sometimes enjoyable, sometimes frightening. Many people think art is supposed to mean something, but that's not the case.

Don't confuse short-lived for low value. Software solving the right problems has incredibly high ROI, even accounting for high programmer salaries.

We're not getting that money for generating realistic-looking syntax, but for discussing with stakeholders and choosing appropriate designs with an eye for both the bigger picture and details. These are language-and-library-independent things, mostly, and incredibly difficult work.

You may be able to give an LLM directions to do something like what you would have been able to do, but the money is not in the parts the LLM is able to accomplish, it's in the direction you give it.
think around 2010 I worked for the one and only payment processor in my country. All ATM tx, POS, online were handled. The back office handling was done with Agile and Java. It was a pile of garbage. The frontend was still a massive mainframe. It had 10k+ COBOL program running it. With comment changelog on top from somewhere end of the 70s. The code review guy was doing this for 20 years and could tell if things would be slow and not scale all the Tx with just reading the code. Until today they never replaced it and is still running on it.

sometimes you don't need fancy new stuff. Just learn the things very well at your disposal. Heck sed, awk and bunch of simple cli tools still work well on Big data sets :)

Right. It stops at the point it becomes useful. They covered the basic theory of EE, and then got stuck. The project has apparently been stuck there since 2020.

"The Art of Electronics", by Horowitz and Hill, is far more useful. It's not an easy book, but it teaches you how to actually design and build stuff. The original target audience was physics grad students who need to build some piece of hardware for their research.
Their explanations of how to think about what transistors do are very useful. Horowitz and Hill get across some basic useful concepts, such as:

* Components are not ideal, but today, many of them, operated within their limits, are pretty close to ideal. So, if you're not doing something that requires very high speed or very high power or very low noise, you can often use off the shelf parts in a straightforward way, without getting too clever. Arduino is this concept taken to the max.

* Learn to read data sheets. That tells you what you can buy and what problems you can get pre-solved.

* Design and build well-behaved sub-assemblies and connect them up. Don't try to do the whole thing at once.

* Learn to design PC boards. It's not that hard, and the tools are quite good.
