As for Rust supporting threads... yes! Yes it does! And it effectively solves all of the problems with them that can be solved at the programming language level. There's an irreducible increase in complexity with concurrent code, but there's only so much to be done about that.

I think a lot of developers have a tendency to massively overprivilege performance and always reach for the biggest, shiniest thing when they don't need it, and cost themselves a lot in the process. Sure, if you're doing tens of millions of things concurrently in Rust you may need the async support because threads can't do what you want. But before you write code based on the assumption that you're going to be doing tens of millions of concurrent things on a 64-core system, check that you actually are. If you've got an API server whose request rate is measured in tens per second, a really quite common case, you'll never notice the thread overhead. You really need quite a massive system nowadays to get to the point where that's even remotely a problem, let alone your biggest one.

I don't deny that when you are nailed to the wall and seriously wondering if 64 cores is going to be enough you may have specialized needs that require specialized solutions. I am glad that Rust has the option for those who need it. But async should be counted as a cost of such problems, not a benefit, and something you prove out as the only solution, not the first thing reached for.

Forgive me, as I also feel compelled to start with a mandatory posturing statement that adds nothing to the conversation.

Now that's done with; I would also suggest that given how much better Chrome was at the time than any other browser that much of its adoption was organic. At the time of its release Google still had a considerable amount of good will from the tech public. I was certainly telling anyone willing to listen at that time to install Chrome because of genuinely good it was.
Because you are getting value from it. Why else would you pay?
Physical size generally matters to a certain extent, compared to the small amount of electricity for the computing power.

2 values I like comparing:

- Computing power (cpu benchmark) / per watt is a good comparison.

- After that, comparing those to compute power per dollar ratio really lays a clear picture out.

The NUCs are definitely smaller than the USSF boards (roughly mac mini size), but not enough that it has stood out.

My company also killed Slack when Teams became bundled. With some bureaucracy and a written exception you can continue to use Slack if you're a "developer" which is like ?? but I'm not complaining because the code blocks and screen sharing on Teams are actual garbage so good to have an alternative.

What an awful experience, both the app and the forced move. The only people who like it are warm bodies who can barely use other Office products as it is.
You can use uBlock Origin to filter those out, though for a site that you'll only visit once, it probably isn't worth it.

These types of subscribe overlays, especially for a company blog with a product that aims to compete on features/pricing, are really unnecessary and annoying.

Nah the biggest problem (for intel macmini) is there is no easy t2 applesmc support in the Linux kernel so you have zero fan control without patching and building a new kernal and I never figured out how to do it

I have my old Mac mini and a 10th gen nuc in a proxmox cluster and they are basically the same. except I had to upgrade the nuc to give it nvme and 10g where as the macmini already had that. And then because I lack fan control on the mini slap a giant heat sink on top and point some fans at it

That's exactly what's happening. A bit of Erlang/Elixir experience would help a lot of people to create architectures (even in other languages) that do not require such kludges. If your application starts to take on the kind of complexity that you normally deal with a monolithic OS kernel you're doing something terribly wrong.

Sure, but I'm not saying "implement all Go features in Rust" - all I'm saying is "use function call prefix to asynchronize function calls instead of synchronizing them".

The Twitter shareholders forced Elon Musk to create a $13 Billion loan to buy Twitter?

That's a pretty nuts take, ya know? The deal was designed by Elon Musk. If market conditions change between March and October, that's not Twitter shareholder's fault, that's Elon Musk's fault for failing to see how the economy would shift.

Once Musk signed the paper in April, it was over. The company was his, no matter how much he tried to squirm or get out of it. To think otherwise is to treat him as some kind of idiot who is incapable of accepting deals or making decisions for himself.

Who cares if character.ai users do some weird stuff with it, or replika creates romantic relationships, or people make off color jokes in gpt.

Most heavy CAD industries are custom. Some likely still on commercial unix platforms.

Is a bit like movie firms. The popular view is that Apple has that locked down, but that seems to only be the prosumer market. Most of the main studios have custom render farms that are probably linux based, nowadays. Studios had the motivation to not get locked into large contracts that grow based on the size of their render farm. (Incidentally, this is why Wacom has such outstanding linux support.)

That said, fair point on this not being limited to corporate. Not sure why I had that bend from the intro post. I was probably biasing it more to the topic of cloud than I was corporate, but those seem roughly related?

I think that if there were a law in place that made it illegal for congressmen to trade, it would be easier to catch insider trading because they would be forced to trade by proxy like you mentioned.

It's really hard to prove someone traded off of insider information if they make a decision to buy/sell for themselves. If they don't tell anyone else why they made the trade, you don't really have any proof that it was made off of material non-public information.

If a congressman is forced to ask someone else to trade for them, they might be careless and you might be able to find evidence via text messages or phone records.

The last time a U.S. Representative got convicted for insider trading, it was because he called his son to tell him to trade a stock that he had insider information on: https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/former-congressman-chri...

I don't think you can pretend to properly describe and evaluate an algorithm, anymore than you can pretend to solve a riddle - the answer is either right or it isn't.

> MySQL is case-insensitive by default. Postgres is case-sensitive by default.

Minor quibble:

If you don't quote identifiers, they are case-insensitive in Postgres. (Case folding to lowercase by default, which ends up being a distinction without a difference.) SQL keywords are always case-sensitive. If you put double quotes around them though, the identifiers preserve case.

SELECT * FROM "foo";

is the same as

SELECT * FROM foo;

is the same as

SELECT * FROM Foo;

But this next one will tell you it doesn't know which table you're talking about:

SELECT * FROM "Foo";

Unless you made the table that way:

CREATE TABLE "Foo" ();

In which case only the last SELECT example will work.

I used "async" long before Node too. It's one of the reasons I knew to stay away from Node.

"ad-hoc implementation of async"

I think you're confusing the problem with the solution. I solve this sort of thing in Go all the time. This is literally what I was doing yesterday. It's fine in that context. You had to reach for async because it was the only option in your context, not because it was the best choice. Async as it is conceived of today was a hack for dynamic scripting languages that basically had no other option. They "won" there because the environments simply couldn't support any other solution, not because they outcompeted anything.
> Your response makes me wonder if the idea is not that RL can give more optimal solutions, but perhaps more robust ones?

LP (linear programming), given an optimal solution, has some sensitivity analysis that nicely addresses robustness.

In the LP find x to solve

maximize z = cx

subject to Ax = b, x >= 0,

small changes in c, A, and b can result in large changes in x (below I explain some of how). But, still, due to some continuity in the linear algebra, the changes in z should (I am avoiding doing the derivations) be small, and continuing to use the optimal x from before the changes should (again, some derivations are needed) be not far off (omitting details).

The feasible region is much like a diamond with flat sides and sharp points (the extreme points).

Uh, let set F be the feasible region, i.e.,

F = {x | Ax = b, x >= 0}

Then the feasible region is convex, i.e., for x_1 and x_2 in the feasible region and t in [0,1],

tx_1 + (1 - t)x_2

(intuitively the points on the line between the two points x_1 and x_2) is also in the feasible region F.

So, easily there can be two extreme points x_1 and x_2 in F such that

z = cx_1 = cx_2

and both are optimal.

Then all points on the line between x_1 and x_2 will be feasible and optimal. So, now have infinitely many optimal points.

And it can be that x_1 is the only optimal point but after some small changes both x_1 and x_2 are optimal. And x_2 can be a long way from x_1.

Sooooo, the small changes resulted in a big change in the optimal points. And maybe after the change, x_2 is optimal but x_1 no longer is.

In this case, maybe LP does not look "robust", but that's usually not a big problem since after the small changes, likely in practice can still get by using the old optimal x_1.

I.e., just by continuity, the "small changes" will keep the changes in the feasible region F and the optimal value z small.

Ah, here is the good news: If raising 40,000 chickens (my father in law used to do that) and there is a small change in the prices of some of the feeds, after the small change might change suppliers (big change in x) for a savings in prices. Intuitively, the changes just showed that you are not very dependent on your old suppliers but have some alternatives that involve some big changes in x (maybe drop one supplier for another one) for about the same z. That big change in x looks not "robust" but is good news, right?
