> View Transitions looks like its gonna have a big impact on how websites move. The TL;DR is that this API gives us control over how new pages load when you click a link.

Reminds me of Flash pages, in a bad way; especially after looking at video examples [1].

I hope it will also bring a renaissance of RSS, this would be a nice pairing.

What I’ve learned from 35 years of wearing computerized eyewear (2013)
I would perhaps challenge the premise that a system openly rejecting minority job candidates out of hand was anything like "meritocratic."
I love all the things that people said that this reminds them of in this comment thread.

The first thing that came to mind is the game of life simulations people make using walker guns. This is a 3D 8-gun game-of-real-life simulation.
The problem isn't about using panics, or "knowing that your goroutine won't panic". Things happen. Unhandled errors happen. Unhandled errors from processes happen :)

Erlang'd documentation used to have a section called "Do not program defensively" [1] This is known as "let it crash" philosophy. Or, better put, that Erlang has auto healing mechanisms [2]

When applied correctly, it significantly reduces the amount of boiler plate code you need to write because you're only concerned with the happy path in most of your code.

I think this is interesting because Apple's unified memory is trending these days. Also, take a look at OpenCL's SVM.
> There are certainly some things getting worse such as homelessness and drug addiction

You sure about that? The US homelessness rate has been long-term declining for a while now (and it absolutely collapsed during the pandemic, which is the only reason the short-term seems like an uptick), and I've never seen any evidence that the opioid crisis was "bigger" in any quantitative sense than the earlier heroin and cocaine crises; it just hit more politically sympathetic populations.

The basic algorithm of A* is very sequential, isn't it? It works by taking the best scoring unexpanded node and expand that. Most of the time, there's only one such node. When expansion has finished, you need to re-sort the queue/heap of unexpanded nodes. All those steps are sequential. So I guess the only gain is when the node expansion can be done in parallel; expanding the top-N nodes probably is counterproductive for many problems. How much you gain then depends on the time expansion takes. The advantage of parallelism then depends on how much time one step "down" takes.

Name Anchors has been a thing in HTML for a very long time (at least since HTML 2.0 spec [1], if not earlier).

<a name="myanchor"><h3>Things to do</h3></a>

If the CMS supports name anchors, you can just bookmark it as

Of course, authors are not mandated to follow named anchors for their document fragments, so this is just a best practice.

Huh?

Buybacks give money to shareholders who sell. Dividends give money to shareholders who don't sell. That's a big difference.

Furthermore, the primary reason stock is worth what it is, originates from actual or potential dividends (if they stopped reinvesting or hoarding) companies (could) pay.

That money has to go somewhere. Either it's hoarded or reinvested in infrastructure or spent frivolously on sweetheart contracts to friends of corporate management. But, crucially, without dividends, none of that can be recaptured by current shareholders. In theory, if shareholders of a company wanted an actual, not virtual, dividend, a stable material return on their investment, currently they could force a change in management that would pay out a dividend. In what you propose, that's not an option.

The value of a stock without dividends is almost purely speculative: who's going to be holding the stock when the company's assets are liquidated and returned (minus liabilities) to the stockholders, and what those net assets will amount to when the company is voluntarily or involuntarily shut down—neither of which is a particularly good sign for the state of the company when that happens.

Doing away with dividends seems like it would lead to more instability: all the craziness of VC-style investing, but for public companies that are no longer early-stage growth. How could you have stable businesses or an economy when stockholders are driven, not by the promise of a share of profits this quarter or even an easily countable number of years from now, but by a share of the company's assets when the company is no longer a viable entity? How are those kinds of shareholders going to make good decisions about corporate governance?

I'm mostly on board with the essay, and the need to change things. However, getting rid of dividends (along with buybacks) without radically restructuring everything else... how does that work? How could it? What am I missing?
The reason I take jobs in a centralized dense downtown is because I know I can find another job without changing my commute. It also makes socializing after work, or during work, so much easier. I've worked in 5 different offices within a mile if each other in the last decade. I can still grab lunch with people I used to work with within a 10 minute walk of my current office. It is the only reason I am happy to go into the office a couple times a week.

If I worked in a generic office building in the suburbs I would never want to go in.
A big point the author relies on is that Google has destroyed its search. And yet I am not seeing it, many people I ask don't see it either. I don't doubt that we all experience using the search engine differently, for me it's still working just fine.

It's an unreliable anecdata to hinge your main point on that, it would only make sense if its more widely noted to the extent that its share is dropping significantly and being regularly reported in general media.
You're right about the importance of how we define a living wage, but it's ultimately workers that set that standard, as they are doing now, by fighting for it. You seem to recognize that it would be undesirable for workers to be forced to live uncomfortably, while at the same time suggesting that they shouldn't unionize to fight against that same outcome.

I can't take "forced to eat bugs/sleep in pods" seriously, but so far the only people trying to make sure I can't own things are the companies who insist on pushing everything into the cloud and/or encumbering it with DRM. I'm all for fighting that too.
It’s a combination.

The feature was a gimmick, and it shows in the design. Not one of the transitions is one you’d actually want to use on, y’know, a web page. No fade (only pixel fade, 12), no slide (only wipe, 4–7). And Page-Enter/Page-Exit was obviously the wrong primitive if you wanted to indicate any sort of relationship between pages, because it would only be “correct” if you navigated in one direction. Basically, it was obviously only even vaguely suitable for slide shows, and not very good even there.

So: the feature was useless. But being proprietary was a part of that: if they’d proposed to Anyone Else “let’s add this thing”, Anyone Else would have said “that’s a stupid design, no one is going to use that well, let’s either do nothing or completely redesign the concept to be useful”.

In fact, the feature is so bad that I suspect it was an idea from someone who didn’t know what they were doing but had power, and the developers put it in half-heartedly rather than resisting. If the developers had been serious about it, it’d surely have ended up with named rather than numbered transitions, and at least a couple of useful transitions rather than the useless ones it got, and some better arrangement for varying transition per link or by navigation direction.
> I heard iOS updates are common even for older devices, but I do know macs can’t always update. So Safari Explorer might be a blocker for some time, once again.

Probably not.

The oldest version of macOS that supports Safari 16.5 [1] which supports CSS Nesting is macOS 11 "Big Sur". Big Sur was released November 2020 and runs on Macs as old as the 2013 MacBook Pro.

So even Macs that are 10 years-old running an operating system from nearly 4-years ago will not only get CSS Nesting but tons of other new CSS features that shipped in the prior version, Safari 16.4 [2].

> It can be a lot of fun to have an open office when you’re a team of six. Having an open office for 600 is hell.

This reminds me of a job I once had, where there was a cafe near the working area. That was shit, trying to work while the noise of espresso machines hiss and squeal away. Then at Christmas they decided to put an impromptu choir singing away for a few hours.

What the actual fuck. They weren't even any good, some funky jazzy Christmas choir that was just absolute noise. But it completely messed with my ability to talk to customers, and existing scheduled meeting.

Once you are open plan then everyone feels like they have the right to encroach on your attention without asking.
I’m sure SF didn’t look like a big homeless camp in the 1980ies. It was supposed to be a dystopian future, where Westfield would close down because it were made illegal to lodge a complain on a member of the population that shoplifts.
Iron age. But even if we go 1000 years back to the bronze age according to the evidence we have diplomacy was still a very important aspect of conflict resolution.

That was the thing about the Romans which many found surprising back then. After they were defeated in battle and when everyone expected them to attempt to negotiate a peace settlement to minimize their losses, they just kept on fighting.

Clearly you have not witnessed communism first hand.
I might be wrong on this explanation, but the reason why it was faster might have been the following:

During execution you had two kinds of memory locations, some in CPU caches and some in RAM. By running all the threads on one socket, everything accessed from the cache was just a fast cache access. Everything accessed from the memory was a slower memory load. Frequently loaded/stored locations will tend to go to the cache.

In the NUMA setup, you would have a larger cache (more than one socket) which would mean that more locations were likely to be in the cache. However, if a core on a socket tries to access a location which is on another socket's cache, it will use the interconnect between them to access it.

If you have an unfortunate memory layout, this can make it so that you end up having a large percentage of the accesses using the interconnect (slower than cache access) and values get swapped between the caches constantly, which forces subsequent accesses to also use the interconnect.

Another way to avoid this except using just one socket is for the designer of a program to consider NUMA nodes as separate processing units and design around that. Both should be processing separate data and they should only share small amounts of data for synchronization/communication. Then the caches will be much less affected.

RISC-V has a vector extension. It's a bit different to normal SIMD because the code is agnostic to the data width, kind of like GPU code.
Ouch. I had no idea that contended Arc could be that expensive.

I found a contention bug inside of Wine a few weeks ago. Something that is supposed to be "lockless" really had three nested spinlocks. With many threads contending for a lock, performance would drop to about 1% of normal.[1]

The question is... "Value" in terms of content or "value" in terms of contributions that will directly influence revenue and generate profits?

I think the CEO is about the latter. It is important to think about what could actually make money for reddit and of maybe more engagement is not even part of that. I'm not a reddit user and I don't have the answer here, I also don't have any skin in this game.

However I think when the CEO of a company like reddit makes a statement like that, there's usually a reason for that. I don't think the CEO of reddit genuinely thinks those third party apps add no value in terms of content and user engagement because that would be irrational.

1. Go to System Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> App Shortcuts
2. Click the small (+) button under the shortcuts table
3. Choose/Type the following values in the modal:
- Application: All Applications
- Menu Title: Zoom
- Keyboard shortcut: Command + Shift + M (My preferred shortcut)
4. Click Save.
5. Voila, now you are able to maximize any window, and pressing it again it goes back to its original size. A cool trick is that now if you hover the green (+) button on the top of any page you will be able to access that shortcut from there as well. It sits just under the "Enter Full Screen" menu option.

With all due respect: he seems to lack basic empathy and understanding for most office workers.

When you have the viewpoint of the maverick freegunning CEO/main architect, and you have a direct stake at what you do, of course you can switch the tasks up to make everything fresh. After all, no one is going to control you in any way whatsoever.

That does not go for anyone with a well-defined set of responsibilities,placed, say, in an "agile" environment. And besides, working above and beyond your means there just means you get more and more tasks in exchange, nothing else. Yaay?
I've given it a try, to having a chat is good, to follow langchain prompts it's not.

At first glance I felt that 100k wasn't really going to move the needle in creating a new browser engine but in fact (after reading the link below) it's not insignificant. There are a lot of contributers to this project, and funding the project lead is a big step in the right direction.

Realistically another browser engine really isn't needed. 2 is enough. Given the scale of the work involved it'll take a lot more than money to make this mainstream.

Bur that doesn't mean it's not important. These sorts of projects have value beyond main-stream use cases. While those uses are small, they can end up being significant.

Don't run Linux on it then. There are other OSes that are designed for smaller chips.

But anyway I would have thought Linux could easily run on that system. Not modern desktop distros like Ubuntu of course.
I thought it was a good article but I didn’t think it made tailwind more or less useful. It was largely orthogonal to tailwind.

If you like the ideas in the article you can apply them in tailwind if that suits you just fine. The obvious distinction is that in tailwind you’d be making your edits in the class information vs in a css file.

A one-off doctor visit once a year is not enough but it is often how the diagnosis is made

Is that actually so? Around here, the very first thing which each doctor I know off is going to say after a high reading in such one-off visit is exactly your second paragraph, because they are well aware one-off readings cannot be trusted for a diagnosis and are typically higher because of white coat stress and whatnot.
I know nothing about server hardware but I'm curious how that works.

I have a decent PC (AMD 3990X 64-Core Processor with 256 GB of RAM), I'd have installed better/more components but that seemed to be the best you could do on the consumer market a few years ago when I was building it.

Are they using the same RAM I'm using with a different motherboard that just supports more of it? Or are they using different components entirely?

Apologies for what I'm sure is a very basic question but it would be interesting to learn about.

>The article directly describes where the benzene comes from.

Are you referring to:

>Last year the powerful trade group criticized a peer-reviewed study showing gas stoves leak benzene even when they are turned off.

Well, yeah, if you put benzene in the stove, I guess it's gonna leak benzene. Try methane for better results and not fill your cooking devices with cancer gas? This is user error, not the stove's fault.
Through our senses?
Ah yes, I realised that was what you meant after I posted.

Though, in fact, it doesn’t really affect the menu bar at all.
Rather, it determines where your desktop icons will live; and it is probably used to determine the default desktop the dock is on when you do a cold boot - must test that.

Like you imply, I’d very much prefer it if you could drag the dock to a specific display and have an option to prevent the moving behaviour you mention.
Would also be nice to be able to drag some icons to one of the Arrange Displays screens to indicate where you want your icons to live.

The HUD data is a bit bulky and hard to share easily [0], but there has been a rise in unsheltered homelessness since 2015 from 173,000 to 234,000. You are right that overall homelessness is down over time (but not since 2015) and this is admittedly not indexed for population growth.

The problem is particularly acute in California, which had 171K homeless in 2022 and bottomed out at 114K in 2014.

But yes, long term trends are still down.

I wouldn't say Ampere Altras are cheaper or worse servers than AWS's Gravitons.

It can be many things, my guess is likely memory bandwidth. There's so much MB/s the RAM can handle. Also, above 48 cores, those are hyper threading and for CPU bound tasks, hyper threading is known to be slower.

Example: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7804711

Edit: looks like there's only 12 cores per CPU so that's 24 physical cores. 48 HT cores. So the drop must be cache trashing?
Surely mods / users < 1 so that equation shouldn't surprise anyone.
I feel like using hybrid-rc [1] (biased reference counting [2]) instead of Arc should be more popular. You rarely need to send data between threads so when you do you pay the atomic cost but otherwise you’re doing normal super fast arithmetic.
