Fwiw you can start looking at migrating to OpenTelemetry while using Otel's DD exporter to start with and then continue shifting from there. Luckily Otel's PHP implementation is relatively complete so it should be relatively straightforward.

Shameless plug: I've been working on a DD alternative, pricing based on data volume (instead of adding on by hosts or users), Otel native as well so you're never locked in. If you want to check it out: https://hyperdx.io

What will you do on your 200th birthday?

In case you're more interested in theory than practice, I have a different answer: I use a different API.

However, I'm aware not even that could stop you, because you could still ask "what do you do when the strings might have more than SIZE_MAX characters?", which is entirely possible (as a combination of 2 or more strings).

And to answer that, we're coming back to my original answer: It doesn't happen. I'm not calling the API with such huge strings. (And no, I usually don't keep formal proofs that it couldn't happen -- there are also an infinite number of other properties that I don't verify).
Maybe someone from framework or knowledge of this area can explain this, but I'm a bit baffled by the price difference between the prebuilt and DIY editions.

LinusTechTips recently did a tour of one of the assembly stations in Taiwan. The DIY editions are fully assembled, tested, then disassembled, and put into packages. Considering that DIY has an additional labour intensive step, how come they're so much cheaper? Shouldn't the prebuilt ones be cheaper because they have less labour involved?

> that was a misinterpretation of the review in the Covid-skeptic sphere.

No, it wasn't. You should read the paper itself, instead of relying on (sadly) biased editorials about the paper. It literally says what the OP wrote:

> Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza‐like illness (ILI)/COVID‐19 like illness compared to not wearing masks (risk ratio (RR) 0.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.84 to 1.09; 9 trials, 276,917 participants; moderate‐certainty evidence. Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of laboratory‐confirmed influenza/SARS‐CoV‐2 compared to not wearing masks (RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.72 to 1.42; 6 trials, 13,919 participants; moderate‐certainty evidence)

The only place they found any plausible signal was comparing N95 respirators against surgical masks, but the evidence was extremely weak:

> We pooled trials comparing N95/P2 respirators with medical/surgical masks (four in healthcare settings and one in a household setting). We are very uncertain on the effects of N95/P2 respirators compared with medical/surgical masks on the outcome of clinical respiratory illness (RR 0.70, 95% CI 0.45 to 1.10; 3 trials, 7779 participants; very low‐certainty evidence). N95/P2 respirators compared with medical/surgical masks may be effective for ILI (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.66 to 1.03; 5 trials, 8407 participants; low‐certainty evidence). Evidence is limited by imprecision and heterogeneity for these subjective outcomes. The use of a N95/P2 respirators compared to medical/surgical masks probably makes little or no difference for the objective and more precise outcome of laboratory‐confirmed influenza infection (RR 1.10, 95% CI 0.90 to 1.34; 5 trials, 8407 participants; moderate‐certainty evidence).

The editorial you cited was a low point in the history of Cochrane, where they gave in to public outrage and attempted to cast doubt on their own data.

This may be naive, but the gradient seen during one training batch would not depend only on the content of that batch, but also the outcome of all previous batches (or so I suppose.) If that is so, then whether one of these spikes occur is not only a function of the batch, but also the sequence of prior batches.

> Where Wansley and Weinstein break important new ground is on the other legal standard set by the Supreme Court: recoupment of losses. If Uber and WeWork and the rest of the unicorns are perpetual money losers, it sounds like the standard isn't met. But Wansley and Weinstein point out that it can be — even if the companies never earn a dime and even if everyone who invests in the companies, post-IPO, loses their bets. That's because the venture capitalists who seeded the company do profit from the predatory pricing. They get in, get a hefty return on their investment, and get out before the whole scheme collapses.

That makes sense except that in the case of Uber, the "whole scheme" never collapsed. Uber stock is about where it was when it IPO'd, it has been between ~20 and ~60 since.

It seems awkward at the least to say that Uber's lack of profitability is an ongoing scheme that's going to eventually defraud current owners of Uber stock.

> Uber/Lyft did outcompete taxis on merit, and to suggest otherwise is revisionist history!

quite correct!

The Uber/Lyft "package", as it were, is easily worth a full 20% over conventional taxi systems circa 2010ish.

Since using Lyft, I have since only used traditional taxis when Lyft/Uber was not available. Because the old model was bad.
Very insightful. Re: the generics point —

As a Go programmer I always thought the generics complaint was kind of silly in practice — complicated code should be simplified and made more concrete, not more generic.

I’m glad generics were implemented, if only to silence the chorus of people who didn’t even use Go but whined about the lack of them. Their inclusion has simplified the stdlib and led to some cool new functions. Nevertheless I think people implementing them in their own projects is basically code smell and they are a symptom of poorly thought-out code rather than excellent code.

Anyway. This was a good initial post and a good follow-up. Go is my favorite language out there right now for its clarity, power, and ease-of-use. And with loop variable capture coming (the biggest remaining foot gun in the language in my experience) the language is only getting better.

> smells like a guy who either is completely incompetent and should not be writing security software, or a guy who wants to cheat, got his kernel driver approved by EAC and is mad about being found out.

That's an interesting take. You think an anti-cheating tool might be being used for cheating? I hadn't considered that.

On further thought, in having such a backdoor present that isn't being exploited/resold, it does give the "proctor" unfettered access to the target device to legitimately look for cheating tools running with higher privileges than the user. I'm guessing most cheating tools need to run with system permissions to intercept API hooks and stuff, so you'd need a similar degree of access to detect that?

I don't think it's incompetence; the guy is clearly technically-minded enough to understand what the researcher is talking about and, rather than explain it, challenge him on it. I meet these types all the time-- he gets away with gaslighting kids all day, so when an adult who isn't placated by "you just don't understand"-type dismissals shows up and starts asking pointed questions, they get angry, hysterical and/or violent (the Phoenix Wright games capture this hilariously well). He's too defensive to not be hiding something; their collective response is too over the top.

If he's not selling access, the functionality of the product itself may well depend on this exploit, which would also be a compelling reason to suppress attention and refuse to address it.

> I just want to get good work done, and go home.

You can do that. You just may not get paid by a third party, if no one else can assess or help determine if the work you're doing is aligned with what they're trying to accomplish as a group. But as an entrepreneur this is probably great. Your payment is from customers who have agreed that you've delivered something of value.

Of course, I've learned, even with the two startups I've done -- once you get above a certain size you do need to ensure everyone is aligned on priorities and that there is a structure to talk about promotions/pay raises/bonuses. It doesn't have to be OKRs and performance reviews, but its some mechanism that ends up eventually being equally hated.

I think part of the problem is tipping. Remember how Uber used to say tips weren’t necessary and then they decided to encourage tipping so that they could pay drivers less. The problem is a huge chunk of users don’t bother tips. I tried driving Uber/Lift for a couple days in 2019 to see if I could make extra money and noticed that the majority of my fares were just people going to their job at Burger King and I’d make like 4 bucks for that and no tip. And I wouldn’t really expect people using Uber as transportation for their low wage job to be tipping much but it just showed me that the whole system was pretty broken.

I am a lazy manager then. The problem is context. I ask all my engineers to self track accomplishments for several reasons:

1. It puts them in control. If they want to leave the team, they have a handy list to hand to their new manager right away.

2. They can capture details I would miss, no matter how close to the work I am. They will capture exact why that design process was hard and what it was like dealing with those 4 external teams.

3. It improves their writing and communication skills. I spend my 1:1's going through the accomplishments and working with them on how to expand and add context to items, where to add detail, and how to be concise with the results.

So far, I receive positive feedback on this. On the flipside, I don't do this for myself :)

Yep, the author of their readme is more interested in marketing their product than explaining how to get started using the project. It's honestly like the product person wrote the readme and not the engineers. And I consider that to be a pretty big red flag. At least, I'm not using the project any time soon because it's wasted my valuable time marketing to me instead to getting me straight to into the software. And it tracks me without my consent. Not a great readme...

0. There are tracking links in the readme?!? Ugh gross! Zzz... oh and btw: this readme tracks you even if you don't click links [vomit-emoji]. There's a tracking pixel loaded at the very end:

<img referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade" src="https://static.scarf.sh/a.png?x-pxid=841c3402-679b-456d-b528-537480a57269" />

1. The Readme has images without accompanying text, so it can't be read in a text editor right after you've cloned the repo.

2. It's littered with useless information and noise when my main goal of reading the readme is to get up and running quickly with the project. The contributors section is one example (and I mean just look at the source and try not to laugh): I can click the contributors link in github if I want to see that stuff, and an authors/contributors file is a better spot for that info regardless (and really you spent time on a bot for that). Further, the "getting started in 100 seconds" image-only link is in the features section with no accompanying text and there's a getting started link in the contributors section, they kinda get lost in the noise.

3. There's just one link to the documentation and it's pretty far down. I'd recommend linking to it much much earlier so users who just want to get started aren't wading through all the marketing gifs.

4. I don't think this readme is GDPR or CCPA compliant... but IANAL.

Generally, a readme isn't a replacement for a marketing website especially for a product company. Maybe for a small open source entirely community driven effort most of their touchpoint will be a readme. But there's nothing organic about this readme, it's full of marketing fluff, tracking links, testimonials via contributor bubbles, and very little explanation of how app smith works, how you get started, example code, etc. Here's an example of a project with a really great readme: https://github.com/Lxtharia/minegrub-theme (it's just one of the other interesting links on HN today as well). And here's another one: https://github.com/stateful/runme.

Not trying to be too harsh, it's an okay middle of the range readme all things considered. But is it great? ..Meh.

> The back two slots on each side can take up to 240W power input over USB-C using USB-PD 3.1.

I would like an option for normal barrel jack power connector. I found USB-C power delivery very unreliable and not universal. For many applications (Pi4, Rock5) you are limited to original makers power adapter. Framework in this case is using very new PD spec to deliver 180W, so I assume it will be the same.

There is also power renegotiation, when voltage drops to zero for couple of seconds. This board is also supposed to operate without batteries!

With barrel plug I just need to know diameter and voltage. I already have many adapters, or power sources. Much easier to operate.

All minipcs (minisforum, beeling) come with barrel plug and USB PD.

The typical answer is that Go doesn't allow you to not address values returned from a function. So, to ignore an error, you'd typically have to write:
