The current cost-plus model actually worked pretty well for a time. When it was first introduced defense contractors hadn't figured out how to use the rules to their advantage and really it's pretty counter intuitive for a businessperson to try to maximize their costs.

But the big historical problem with (2) is that if you give people discretion they can just choose to award the contract to their cousin Joe and end up paying $600 for a $300 trash can.

What kept graft in check under the old system was fear of being found out and fear of being fired after embarrassing an elected official who might fear the voters getting angry.

In the current system everybody is following the letter of the rules. Boeing has really managed to structure their costs so that they can charge $52k. They really did win the bid according to the rules. The bureaucrats who awarded the contract to Boeing followed the rules. And while elected officials might bitch and moan there's nothing they can do to disrupt the careers of officials who follow the rules - by very intentional design.

Hey folks, author of the Twitter thread here.

It's pretty funny how a pair of crappy videos I recorded in 5 minutes have gone viral and landed here. I obviously did not expect that this would happen and is why I didn't give a second thought to the comparison. There are many wrong things in there (including inaccuracies, as some have reported), and Twitter really doesn't give room to nuance. (Plus my notifications are now unusable so I can't even reply where necessary.)

I don't want to defend the "computers of 20 years ago" because they sucked in many aspects. Things have indeed gotten better in many ways: faster I/O, better graphics and insanely fast networks are a few of them, which have allowed many new types of apps to surface. Better languages and the pervasiveness of virtual machines have also allowed for new types of development and deployment environments, which can make things safer. Faster CPUs do enable things we couldn't do, like on-the-fly video transcoding and the like. The existence of GPUs gives us graphics animations for free. And the list goes on.

BUT. That still doesn't mean everything is better. UIs have generally gotten slower as you can see. There is visible lag even in fast computers: I noticed it on a ~2021 Z4 workstation I had at work, I noticed it on an i7 Surface Laptop 3 I had, and I still notice it on the Mac Pro I'm running Windows 11 on (my primary machine). It's mind-blowing to me that we need super-fast multi-core systems and GBs of RAM to approach, but not reach, the responsiveness we used to have in native desktop apps before. And this is really my pet peeve and what prompted the tweets.

Other random thoughts:

* Some massive wins we got in the past, like the switch from HDDs to SSDs, have been eaten away and now SSDs are a requirement.

* Lag is less visible on macOS and Linux desktops as they still feature mostly-native apps (unscientific claim as well).

* The Surface Go 2 isn't a very performant machine indeed, but note it ships with Windows 11 and the lag exists out of the box, so that makes it enough to qualify as a fair comparison. The specs I quoted were wrong though because I misread them from whichever website returned them to me. I don't care though because this is the experience I get on all reasonably-modern machines.

* Yes, I had opened the apps in both computers before running the video, so they were all cached in memory (which puts the newer system in a worse light?).

* One specific thing that illustrates the problem is Notepad: the app was recently "rewritten" (can't recall exactly what the changes were). It used to open instantaneously on the Go 2, but not any more.

* NT 3.51 wasn't truly fair game because it was years-older than the machine. But if you scroll down the thread you'll see the same "test" rerun on Windows 2000 (released same year as the hardware).

I might come back to extend the list of random thoughts. A proper follow-up blog post would be nice, but I'm not going to have time to write one right away.
How James Cameron became a deep-sea explorer and submersible designer
OP here, that's great feedback. We are still tinkering the pricing model.
I have my sketchy Chinacams on a "red LAN" that does not have internet access. It only goes to the second ethernet port on the device that does the capture/motion detect; it does not route to the internet or even do DNS resolution.

This was originally done to keep all that traffic off my main LAN, but it has a handy anti-cloud/anti-spyware firewall purpose too. My Chinacams come from an era, though, where all you had to do is uncheck "cloud" in the ridiculous ActiveX required GUI setup, and that was it for them trying to access the internet. Things may have changed; the last of these didn't even let me set a password to get into the GUI before activating through the cloud and that was a few years ago.

Spending extra to get a commercial grade camera is really not that bad if you plan to use the camera for a while.
I've done this a lot, it has worked with every ONVIF capable camera I have tried. It is sometimes a real nightmare to figure out the stream location and video settings though.
I've had mixed luck with Reolink cameras. The RTSP streams have always been really unreliable for me, although the HTTP streams are pretty good. They also do the classic hardware-manufacturer thing where they send random beta firmwares to people on forums on Google Drive that add massive swaths of features (ONVIF support, even), but then they get lost before they make it to release.
Yea, different languages for different purposes. Rust is for finished products, not so much for experimentation. When you want to play or experiment you should use Lisp.

This is why there are so many white cars being made and delivered to dealerships in the US. With production still extremely constrained, manufacturers are just limiting what colorways they ship. They know anything new will sell since the lots are so empty, and buyers will just take whatever comes in the latest shipment. Having been new car shopping (and ended up buying used), I'm amazed at how much the car buying process has changed for new cars. You used to be able to order a color and trimline, with factory options without any issues. Now dealers laugh at you and say "Here's what the factory MIGHT send us in the next 6 months. Want to put down a deposit?"

The only thing I like about this change is that there seems to be far less high pressure sales going on.
Basically nothing scales to everyone.

The second someone makes a successor language that seamlessly/directly interops with C++ _AND_ has the level of build/IDE tooling that C++/Rust have, I'm on board.

The closest thing right now is Sean Baxter's "Circle" compiler in "Carbon" mode IMO:

https://github.com/seanbaxter/circle/blob/master/new-circle/...

Unfortunately, Circle is closed-source and there's no LSP or other tooling to make the authoring experience nice.
When Only Real Math Will Do
Trying to meet a specific threshold is part of the problem. The better the development hardware, the earlier that threshold is met in testing, which tends to mean optimization effort falls off a cliff.

Also that threshold is an entire 400ms. We should expect significantly better than that these days.
After a bit of reluctance to give up my right CMD-key, I decided to try rcmd and it has since disappeared into my workflow like no other app since window snapping.

Unlike similar solutions, unused keys are assigned dynamically based on the first letter of the app. So I can have my main apps on 1,2,3... and the rest will change based on which apps are open.

There have been some really good productions of the comedies, e.g. Emma Thompson's Much Ado About Nothing. But often as I have seen some of them over the years, the mistaken identities/gender swapping/etc. all sort of blend together for me past some point.

The article assumes the viability of a hydrogen-driven process to reduce the iron. The intention is to establish a circular economy of reducing iron oxidized by burning it in the proposed fashion.

The byproducts from burning iron are no more noxious than burning fossil fuels, possibly less so. Filtration technologies exist as well.

Of course this technology would have to compete with other technologies to make use of excess renewable energy, like liquid hydrogen storage and transport (which it has several advantages over), iron-based battery technologies, or green-produced carbon-based fuels. I guess it makes the most sense in applications where heat instead of electricity is required.

> Why so eager to end someone's career?

Because certain careers, e.g. lawyers, surgeons, and law enforcement give their practitioners the ability to make or break their clients, potentially killing them or ruining them financially and/or socially. Such professions must, for reasons of social sanity, be held to higher standards than someone who's career is, e.g., writing web apps or serving coffee.

> " The bus is extremely slow because everyone is going through a couple of tunnels in/out of an island."

That's because there's too small of a disincentive for less single passenger vehicle (read: cars) going in via the tunnels. Point is, it's not fair to blame the form of transportation for the lack of bus lanes and other transit / fee snafus. The bus experience could be improved but we continue to favor cars, cars, and cars.

In addition, commercial occupancy rates are falling. That is, the market for commuter transportation is falling.

I'm not disagreeing with your ends, but I'm not sure there's enough sociopolitical juice to make it happen.

It is, for all practical purposes, a flat space in the sense that for bare pointers, operator++ is defined (increments to the next whatever, defined based on type of pointer).

There is no operator++ equivalent in Java to apply to object references (unless you go unsafe); you can't immediately shoot yourself in the foot without the compiler noticing by asking for "the next object after this one" when no such thing exists.

(handwave a bit: of course, you can ask for an object past the last object in any container. That's (a) not the same thing and (b) results in an immediate runtime error in Java, instead of undefined behavior)

Because implementing a new language and getting it to wide adoption is an enormously challenging task, with a much lower success rate than e.g. SV startups.

Languages that try to implement one new bright idea don't go anywhere, because that's not enough to cause people to switch. At best they serve as examples for feature adoption in other languages.

Look at Rust for example: it seems to be succeeding and gaining adoption, but right now it's still relatively niche (check the number of Rust job postings), and it's taken 17 years to get to this point, with sponsorship from major organizations like Mozilla.

Given this, the idea that there's much low-hanging fruit that's being ignored, that could easily be exploited, seems dubious. What's an example of what you have in mind?

Nothing shows this like the switch from showing recommended books/products to showing ads.

Ads generate more revenue today, but I can't find good books to buy an Amazon, so I go elsewhere.

It's clear which is better for the customer (and for Amazon long term), but they can't give up on the revenue stream, even if it will eventually kill them (since it drives their customers to other platforms, and provides a place for competitors to grow).

It doesn't mean there aren't any updates. However, in the iOS store I can update some apps every week.

On the other hand, I very much like the F-Droid store. There are so many useful and user-friendly apps. They work and stay like this for a long time.

I suspect the underlying topic here is money. Open source apps don't get much funding. So the developers need to focus on the essentials and get them right.
On the other hand, subscription-based apps have a steady inflow of money. For some reason, they need to constantly work on these and add new features with marginal utility. I regret having updated some iOS apps. They were working perfectly fine in 2018 but have added bloat and bugs since then.

> It's probably better for the city to have overbuilt than under, and attempts to discourage vacancy are likely to discourage new construction.

I am in agreement with the general points being made in this discussion, but this jumps out at me as completely backwards.

I know commercial real estate != residential, but we've seen lack of discouraging vacancy has NOT led to increased construction. It just leads to rampant speculation and incredible negative externalities (see San Francisco, the subject of this discussion).

I would need to see some evidence that discouraging office vanacy would lead to under-development. Wouldn't discouraging vacancy lead to lower prices ("market-clearing") possibly even inducing demand, in turn encouraging construction?

I don't claim that you speak for economists, or politicians, or even all of the electorate, but I think your arguments are evident of the prevailing understanding and I'm seriously pessimistic about our future as a result. We are going to continue to do the same things and expect better results.

borrowing affine style is more than RAII. borrowing affine style means that there are no pointers, and always one owner. in borrowing affine style your functions take a unique_ptr for everything, if the lifetime of the data needs to live beyond the function, then the function returns a unique_ptr of that data back.

std::unique_ptr<foo> var;
// init and use var
var = SomeFunction(std::move(var));
// use var again.

Note that while in SomeFunction you lose access to var, but since SomeFunction returns it again you don't really lose anything. Of course Somefunction can also return some other unique_ptr<foo> that isn't var and you can't control that.

It is an interesting idea, though I'm not sure if I like it for real world code or not.
