> This is not some fancy new phone...

Wow, so you seriously just ignore it all. Why do you think that humans are susceptible to marketing in the context of a phone, and not in unionization? Where is the difference?

> this is an almost permanent obligation you are placing on the company, the employees and future employees. The decision to join a union should be placed on facts and only facts.

Sure, but what if you suppress delivery of facts about unions while supplying your own counter-facts?
I love this pattern! I make use of it all the time in Rust with the slotmap library. Improves upon arrays by versioning the indexes so values can be deleted without messing up existing indexes and the space can be reused without returning incorrect values for old indexes.
There certainly are things they can evaluate.

Just that I think big picture wise I would be hard to draw too much of a conclusion from the testable metrics.

Personally I’d want to test the app itself and if it works / customers are happy, I might worry a lot less about metrics and other decisions.

In this type of scenario, it's sometimes because there are two or more implementors that are trying to develop the standard in a way that makes their existing implementation compliant. Likely there were existing scripts that relied on the behavior being specific to that implementation, so it was explicitly made optional, which is viewed as better than not adding the behavior to the standard at all. "May" is just a polite standards way of saying "Warning: check yourself before you wreck yourself."

I feel like surely yours isn't a point made in good faith, because the point I'm trying to make is so simple.

If I've got $20 bill or a gold bar in my pocket, I can use it at the store if I can get to the store, but someone could easily confiscate it from me. If I have a $20 bill or gold bar buried in the woods behind my house, it can't be easily confiscated from me, but I can't use that at the store, even aside from whether I can access a store. If I have a cryptocurrency wallet, I can use it in the hypothetical cryptocurrency store if I can access it, and it also cannot be easily confiscated from me (assuming reasonable security measures).

The real criticism is "what cryptocurrency store?" and that's the real reason cryptocurrency isn't very useful. I'm not arguing that cryptocurrency is good or useful, I'm arguing very narrowly for one specific point: "owning cryptocurrency" is more like knowing something than it is like possessing something.

Walmart is infamous for shutting down stores that unionize. This can be particularly devastating to the community because Walmart's whole schtick is to wipe out every other business in the area through "dumping" - flooding the market with stuff sold at a loss until they drive the other companies out of business.

So not only do a lot of people in town / the county lose their jobs, but they lose the only place to shop for a lot of things.

Result? Anyone who talks about unionizing gets reported, or simply ostracized. "Shut the fuck up, Jim. You wanna get the place shut down? We'll all be driving an hour to get our groceries."

There's two separate ideas here, in my mind, and while they play nicely together, they're worth keeping separate. The first one-and-a-half points ("move all memory management" and "group items") are the key to achieving the performance improvements described and desired in the post, and are achievable while still using traditional pointer management through the use of e.g. arena allocators.

The remainder ("treat the array base pointer" on) is about providing a level of indirection that is /enabled/ by the first part, with potential advantages in safety. This indirection also enables a relocation feature -- but that's sort of a third point, independent from everything else.

There's also a head nod to using extra bits in the handle indexes to support even more memory safety features, e.g. handle provenance... but on modern 64-bit architectures, there's quite enough space in a pointer to do that, so I don't think this particular sub-feature argues for indexes.

I guess what I'm saying is that while I strongly agree with this post, and have used these two patterns many times, in my mind they /are/ two separate patterns -- and I've used arena allocation without index handles at least as many times, when that trade-off makes more sense.
The longer OpenAI’s models are around, the more the internet will be polluted with GPT-generated trash, which means any follow-on competitors will have a harder time building their corpus.

After reading this post, I've browsed the site. I'm not sure how this is anything but significantly worse than the current model?

I've been around long enough to know that any "no code" style interface or GUI are typically the _problem_ not the solution. Regardless of the code they export, you end up with fat fingers, misclicks, forgotten UI paths to follow... Taking a software eng approach to shipping infra is a stable, known process that the infra team and the software teams can understand, no specialized GUI tool knowledge required.

I've been using the same basic terraform modules, jenkins pipelines, and infra architecture for nearly 7 years across multiple companies and numerous cloud deployments. It's not fancy but it justworks.jpg. Every time I re-use that code for a new deployment or account I save TONS of time.

Devops doesn't have to be hard. Infrastructure doesn't have to be complex. Deploying every day isn't _that_ difficult. KISS Method is key, especially when you're looking for speed. Using _less_ tools from the CNCF is better, and will let you move faster, not adding a new one.
Very nice! We've been using something very similar that we built in Streamlit, and it's been incredibly helpful for enabling non-dev employees to do some pretty sophisticated work with AI.

Genuinely excited to see these types of tools take off.

I honestly do not care about that, if it was the case. Competition can be a very bad thing in this field, because it decreases the quality of the games by limiting compatibility with other, often older, established platforms, and forces people into a vendor lock-in.

There should be a law that required platform compatibility. Games released on playstation and xbox should also be available on the Windows and Linux PCs – it's not because Microsoft can't do it, it is because they want to keep users locked-in.

As an old gamer I'd hate to see Blizzard on Microsoft's hands, but as a Microsoft shareholder I would not mind it. Surely there must be a middleground. Microsoft could buy half the shares.

I just fear what will happen with the ecosystem of games playable on battle.net, support for old games. Etc. If you look at EA Games, then many of the titles released through them is full of bugs that causes crashes, and games might not even be playable on modern systems. Not so with Blizzard titles.
I think you're being a bit harsh. I can barely do simple algebra right now but I like math.

It felt good that I was above average at it and it felt good to understand something something that started off looking like gibberish.

Yes, that's basically an entity component system. It still runs into the ‘fake memory leaks’ problem the author describes for obvious reasons, i.e. you still have to deal with "components" attached to some handle somewhere (and deallocate them).

I feel that you could replace "AI-Saturated Post-Truth World" with any number of technological changes over the last 100 years and find a similar article at that time. I am impressed by LLMs and these more powerful AI agents, but I also have confidence that over the course of time their capabilities will become utterly boring and commonplace to my growing kids. In a generation their place in society will be as unspecial as a cell phone. The grander picture of the whole system is that we are building a society utterly incompatible with being a regular human person (The way we existed 3000+ years ago). I have no answer to that other than to identify that we already built a world no one is mentally ready for.
More than interfaces. To quote McLuhan: "Man becomes, as it were, the sex organs of the machine world, as the bee of the plant world, enabling it to fecundate and to evolve ever new forms.

The AI thing has been jarring but it's nothing new. All part of the same process.

"The enshittification of Red Hat"?
>Doing “DevOps work” is unquestionably the worst part of building a modern application. It’s full of tiny papercuts, indignities we suffer in our toolchains, our feedback loops, and our software. It’s a city of brutalist buildings filled with sharp-edged couches pretending to be comfortable. Think of all the advances in how we interact with tools in other domains - then take a look at the way you build, deploy, and operate your software, at all the crazy gyrations you use to glue it all together - and ask yourself why you accept it.

I dunno, usually I find databases and migrations to be the hard part. At this point, I have enough examples of app deploys that I can have a new app up and running on a pair of VMs with a robust blue/green deploy and backups inside of an hour or two, with deploy by Github Actions responding to pushes to prod branch.

Even if you don't have my company's half-decade worth of example devops, you can do something easier, like a single instance on a Digital Ocean machine with deploy by "ssh -A server 'cd yourapp && git pull && sudo systemctl restart yourapp'". Sure, you'll have a few seconds of downtime, and you'll expose your SSH keys to anyone on that box for those few seconds, but if you know some Linux and nginx, you can get this working inside of an hour from scratch.

> The long-term profitability of the company is essential for ensuring the jobs of everyone

Long-term profitability is the goal of company management? In my experience that’s often not the case. Short term profit going straight to shareholder dividend, seeking a sale at the highest possible price… Maybe I’m too cynical but it feels like these are the primary goals of corporate America these days. Boost, boost, boost then cash out. If anything a unionized workforce can help keep management on the straight and narrow path to long term profitability because unions make the short term cashouts more difficult.

I’m not going to try to claim that all union management is wonderful but a great number of employees in the US would still be in a better place represented by selfish, inefficient union bosses than left to the company’s whims.

> Taxes and employment laws are really not an issue, there are plenty of ways around it, especially if you are a small startup.

Of course there's legal ways for a company to employ somebody not in the US. But many employees at companies don't want to deal with that headache and create any extra work for themselves.

As proof of that, look at how many jobs ask for remote US workers in a list of XYZ random states. They can legally employ anybody they want to in the US, but they don't want to deal with taking the time out figuring out how to deal with hiring somebody from say Alabama or South Dakota if they've never done that before.

Consulting firms offer you someone. Maybe it's someone you pick, maybe it's someone they pick, but it is someone whose full time job is working as a consultant at said firm. Here, the firm finds someone they want to hire, and the agency deals with the legal nitty gritty.

If you mean consulting as an individual, it's still different, for both parties, because you recreate an employment situation. The employee has legal employment, notice period, employment rights, insurance, yada yada. Employee has long-term commitment.

If you're saying consulting as an individual is the same as.l employment, well... I guess then every two things are the same...

However, purchase of Activision may still be part of a larger anti-competitive scheme Microsoft has cooked up. I believe they've been buying lots of other game studios and publishers as well.
