Then you have quite limited experience (or you're just going for some snark).

Over my career I've seen all kinds of people leave coding. Some of them were poor coders and some of them were excellent. Some of them were good or bad communicators or architects.

Out of interest, just who do you think should be doing the high level architecture?
Ad hominem.

Having senior dev / "architect" focusing on higher level / abstract design and working with junior dev to code it and get it up and running is a very common pattern in big company (especially not tech-first company). And it does work.
Re: selective breeding and genetic engineering, that's going to happen regardless of the atmospheric carbon levels

But not to tailor crops, for areas that are currently permafrost.

There are billions of acres of permafrost bogs/peat in Northern Canada. They are even a concern, for as they thaw, they offgas.

Think of these areas as you would think of coal, in terms of CO2 being released.

But! That peat and bog is immensely fertile. If, outside of the growing season length issues, warmer temperatures come, then that is very, very rich, fertile farmland.

But we need specially tailored crops, which would never be created otherwise.

Partial Response on REST Endpoints
After the second stage of Russian aggression on Ukraine in 2022 the Yandex maps have removed country borders entirely. It is actually a very interesting map to look at:

I believe it was in response to the annexation of territories/oblasts that Russia didn't even control (lol), when companies in Russia were forced to respect the new official borders of Russia.

I still mourn the shorter format. It forced people to use Twitter more like feed of links and events, which makes sense as it was competing with the open standard RSS and Atom at the time (more specifically popular feed readers using them).

With longer content, media and replies added in, it started closing itself in a bubble and becoming about Twitter being its own thing walled off from the rest of the world, a concept significantly different than Twitter started as. Maybe it also seems more monetizable, but there can be a debate on this.

>Rather, it only checks for method names and where-clauses such as T: Trait. Types are only resolved in the confirm phase, at which point rustc would have already picked its method.

Not following here, the compiler iterates over the deref-chain and acquires a list of method names, but it also "checks for ... where-clauses", what does that mean? A quick look at the linked probe code indicates what we filter on Self traits and return value traits.

I'm a paying user of Evernote and have a lot of notes in it. I vaguely fear the moment that Evernote will throw the towel. I tried to orient what would be an affordable, future-safe alternative, but I haven't found any.

My blogging/journalling setup is simple. I've been doing it for 10 years and it really encourages me to write. It's also all in the open and public.

I just use GitHub. I just rely on the default repository view on GitHub.com. I edit in Typora on Windows or on the web interface on GitHub website.

I create a README.md and add markdown headings to the bottom or to the top (bottom if its a journal, top if it's a blog) and then when I get to 100-800 I create a new repository and repeat.

Edit, regarding the video: It should be mentioned that the parts found in late 1970s and early 1980s computers were usually of quite good quality (things like capacitors were also more expensive then) and modern parts are not necessarily better or more reliable. "Shotgunning" all capacitors doesn't necessarily improve things. E.g., mine works perfectly fine without changing a single part. This particular machine, shown in the video, was in a bit of a rough state, though.

Why is this even on HN? It seems like a terribly confused blog post, about a terribly inefficient stack.

To create any static site, including blogs, I just use hugo, maybe a custom theme, edit it in any editor, including the online one at github/gitlab, once it merges/pushes the CI/CD script is just 3 lines and 2 of those deal with aws.

And of course the pricing depends on the traffic but s3 and cloudfront can handle a lot of traffic before it starts getting out of hand.

From a practical perspective, what makes this bad is the screen reader on a mobile device reading aria-labels for items that aren't inside the viewport, not to mention the fact that it's too easy to zoom unintentially either by browser configuration or accidental screen touches. Contrary to popular "wisdom", web browser zoom is one of the most anti-accessibility features out there, because there's no good way to detect page zoom from the Web API implementations of the most common browsers. What is more accessible is zoom on the entire screen buffer, not the web page. Both android and iOS support this (with focus change support) as well as many desktop environments.

The problem with ghost as far as personal blogs go, is that you need to host the ghost process somewhere (or pay them, fwiw).

I think for personal pages (though honestly for other stuff, too) static pages are much easier to host - you just put them on GitHub Pages / S3 + Cloudfront / CloudFlare Pages and you've got cheap and easy scalability, with almost zero passive costs.

So yeah, I prefer Hugo / Docusaurus.
I use jekyll for many sites, most aren't even blogs. But it's really slow to compile and there's not many plugin options so you have to try to write them yourself in ruby except documentation for writing your own is scarce and insufficient.

I also wish there were an easier way up make an api call to get data to use within the template.

I tried migrating to hugo for these reasons but i'm not a fan of hugo syntax and i couldn't figure out how to setup a non-blog site.
Not a traditional blog, but i was looking at a service for my photography. I eventually almost went with squarespace. But felt pricing was too high if you wanted to add your own custom CSS etc.
Also felt bit bloat and I wasn't happy with the templates.

In the end I just made my own from scratch and just use S3 for hosting [manual uploads, as i don't update it often]

Well, some of that free range kind of feeling can be achieved by introducing local non-linearity into the game, i.e. make certains parts of the game independent of each other.

Then, as the player progresses to the next episode the non-linearity would become a single step to the next episode, without any cross-episode interdependencies. Most well-designed adventure games have this branch-narrow-branch-narrow structure, where bottlenecks make sure the player is ready to proceed to the next level.

What was no very good about Sierra-style design is that they did introduce this non-linearity but there were often inter-episode links introduced. (e.g. "had to pick up this item a couple of episodes back it's late now"). So resorting to walkthroughs was the only way to avoid this kind of meaningless backtracking. It a very shady way to lengthen gameplay time!
While one might write off Facebook/Meta as a company in flux, I think that the uptake rate of Threads really shows how the gravity pull of a apparently dead social network can quickly fill in the empty space of a fallen competitor.

I am well aware of the JAR hell, but I foresee a not so distant future where we'll be in "container hell". Reproducing images seems fine now, but wait until all the utilities and the enormous dependency surface gets unmaintained.

Again, if your systems are complex enough and span multiple programming languages, then containers may be great. Thing is, I see teams of n Java developers splitting their application in n+1 services, each with their own container, and thinking they're on the right track.
Bending Spoons is an Italian company. Most of their job postings are Milan, Italy, or fully remote, with the preference for those in between GMT-2 and GMT+3 time zones.

Assuming they want to continue Evernote as a product, I wonder if they laid off US and Chile stuff, because it was difficult to manage two teams in different time zones, or just it is cheaper to gather an equivalent EU-only team (Their entry-level positions are approx €50k/year, though the cost for the employer is higher).

Good news, color calibration is being worked on! (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/m...)

Wayland doesn't have all the features we'd like it to have yet, it's missing some big things like global hotkeys and color management. It's not moving as fast as I'd like, but all those things are being actively worked on.

X11 also doesn't have all the features we'd like it to have, such as the ability to render frames without tearing or the ability to lock the screen while a context menu is open or the ability to implement a desktop environment without a ton of race conditions. Those things are not being worked on, and X11 will actually regress as new hardware is released and developers don't focus on hacking X11 to work with that hardware.

For a lot of users (such as myself), Wayland is already better than X; there's a reason lots of distros ship Wayland by default now. The situation is certainly way better now than it was 5 years ago.

But that doesn't mean you have to use it! It's ready for you when it's ready for you, and maybe X's wonkyness doesn't annoy you or you've learned to hack around it (congrats on getting different DPI scaling on different monitors to work! I haven't, despite struggling with it. I didn't even know DPI scaling was a thing 20 years ago. Anyway, it worked out of the box on Wayland.)
That is definitely going to keep me from reading the article, thank you.

Gosh that's complex.

On all RISC-V CPUs I have currently access to with the pre-ratification RVV 0.7.1, the simple 9 instruction memcpy function shown by camel-cdr is faster than any other kind of memcpy (simple byte-by-byte loop with no decision overhead, or complex glibc function) at EVERY sensible size.

These range from the C906 core found in Linux-capable boards costing $6 or $10 (Pine64 Ox64, Sipeed M1s, Milk-V Duo), the the C920 OoO cores in the 64 core SOPHON SG2042.

Here are some numbers I ran on a 1 GHz C906 over two years ago:

https://hoult.org/d1_memcpy.txt

The short RVV function has absolutely constant execution time out to n=64 AND this time is 40% less than standard memcpy even at size 0 or 1 byte, and from 8 to 128 bytes it is at least 3x faster.

A 1.8x advantage is maintained for any size that fits in L1 cache, then after that both are able to saturate the memory bus.

Remember, this is a low-end in-order core (similar to Cortex-A35) designed in 2019, with only 128 bit vector registers and ALU. But the same thing applies on newer, higher-performance cores.
