> It’s also an explicit goal to ensure that user agents can browse the web without this proposal

How, in an information theory sense, can you stop website operators from using this attestation information to block subsets of users? The "holdback" mentioned in your reference link seems like an optional thing, as if we're concerned about good faith actors rather than the opposite.

It would be nice if the spec included examples of how a hypothetical bad actor couldn't abuse the spec to block non-attestors. i.e. How do we stop "this website only works in Chrome on Windows" but for attestation? Right now, it's trivial to "fix" because we can lie about our environment (it's likely just reading our User-Agent) and it's unlikely that the website will actually not work in other OS/browser contexts.

Some websites really do only work in certain contexts, but I think critics' concern is what happens when the website would work perfectly fine, but it refuses to. I think this is largely the same concerns people have with mobile app permissions, but those can be gatekeeped by mobile app stores who can enforce political goals such as "You can't ask for permissions you don't need and refuse to work when you don't get them", websites have no such constraints.

What's to stop websites from blocking random users now? Nothing, really. But we don't have to bypass any cryptographic attestations in order to try to work around those blocks. This spec seeks to stop that.
A biological neuron and an artificial neuron are also not the same.
The important network configuration rewrite happened in NT5, IIRC, with the introduction of NETSH.EXE and its Cisco-ish command line interface. (It's still there in windows 11 and is probably the powerful way of interacting with network stack).

The infamous rewrite didn't change the structure of networking in NT too much, there was also quite a lot of activity before and after (windows server 2016 delivered considerable changes, for example, though some of them were present already in 2012 mainly due to Hyper-V).

I would totally pay a second plan for that feature.

I already have 2 5G plans at two different carriers, and two phones (I work on Android)

And carriers here often offer a secondary SIM for your tablet or something, because it costs nothing and it's a convenience for some customers.

>And while people's sex/gender shouldn't matter...

Always has mattered and always will. Sun and Moon. Yin and Yang. Shiva and Shakti. Men and women are each gifted with unique powers and no amount of postmodernism will take that away from them. We compete differently, we desire differently, we sacrifice differently.

>As a female teen who's interested in programming and who wants to found a startup one day

If you knew what they meant, what you'd be sacrificing, you wouldn't want that. It's a lot of risk and a lot of pain.

Someone said, "men have the gift of pain". The pain of low status becomes unbearable and the only way out is to prove, upward and onward. That's why we take on great risks. We go out into the desert and brave the elements. Many of us die, most of us come backed empty-handed and beaten. A lucky few come back with great riches.

And that's why you see so many men founders. This is what we do - our lower status manifests as pain and we go to great lengths to escape that pain. We don't ask for permission or consensus, we just go out into the desert because it's the only way for us to go.

Women don't go out into the desert because they don't have to. Their status is already high enough, much higher than the average man's. Why risk getting killed out in the desert just for the opportunity to come back scarred, poor, and old?

I would wager you don't actually want to go out into the desert. I think you, like many, just want the status of being a startup founder. But you don't want to bleed and burn for that status. You don't want to do what it takes, because you don't really understand what it takes, and if you did, you'd realize that the powers and status you already have, as a woman, are much more desirable.

Further, it's telling that you don't even know what it is you want to make a startup for. You haven't said you have a burning desire to make efficient the payment processing for SME's, you haven't said that you see a great opportunity in a particular industry to make a lot of money with which you can use to enrich your clan and community, you haven't said you lament the dental industry and want to make dental care actually affordable for those in poverty and a startup is how you'll do it, you simply said "I want to found a startup one day", which translates to me as "I just want the status of having a startup".

A startup is a means to an end, it is not the end, and you may find the ends you truly desire do not involve founding a startup.

Go ahead and try it though. I would imagine, as you embark, you'll observe the women who play more traditional, less risky games as happier and higher status than you.

That said, here's a woman founder: https://www.dartagnan.com/dartagnan-founder-ariane-daguin.ht...

Good luck.
Thank you for posting this.

Looks pretty basic but somehow complete. The first impression is good. Here's some criticism:

The first thing I look for in a issue tracker is the screen estate to write the task. I understand that some people write a list of issues in the form of short blurbs and iterate on them afterwards, but it always feels frustrating to me to having to write the title in a modal window, save and then open the issue again to be able to see a larger textarea for the description. I also see it as discouraging for people to write better descriptions for the issues they open.

The keyboard navigation is probably not complete (press P to create a project, you would still need the mouse to focus the textbox and to save the project)

On my computer it started in Dark Mode, and the experience overall was quite a bit disorientating. Also no light/mode switch icon in the header.

It is not clear to the user that you can/should use markdown.

Inlining a struct of callbacks is a much more brittle optimization in C than inlining calls to member functions on a class accepted as a template argument in
C++, which I consider a fair comparison because the former is the closest approximation C has for the latter.

You might get a failure to inline and get direct calls to fixed function addresses in the latter case, but never virtual calls (unless the member functions themselves are virtual, of course). The former case relies on the compiler seeing through the entire call chain and being able to prove that the function pointers don't change.

The idea that virtual calls can bite you in C++ but not in C is clearly nonsense, as in any situation where you'd need a virtual function in C++, you'd need a function pointer in C, and virtual functions don't happen accidentally as you have to explicitly write "virtual."
At that point, while living in various countries in East Asia, I had been following the uneven fate of Apple for a decade. Japan and Taiwan had readily embraced Apple technology across the board, while South Korea remained a resolutely Windows world, that used non-tariff barriers (the dreaded, required WIPI chip) until 2009 to keep out the iPhone.

In China, despite Foxconn assembling Apple products there, the first Apple Store only opened in 2008 and its products rarely seen anywhere before 2009. The commonplace assumption across the financial press was that China was too poor, and its consumers too practical, to pay a needless premium for iPhones. When I heard in early 2011 from the KTV hostess that iPhone 4 sets were universally popular among her colleagues I realized that iPhone mania in China among trend-setting urban women was underway and that the narrative was badly in error. And I believed what was subsequently borne out that this trend would rapidly spread all across China over the next decade.

Of course, much other subsequent real-time "research" went into my investments, during life and travels across Asia, and I developed a variety of ways to hedge my positions. But what set me apart as an outside amateur was that I had deep, real-life knowledge of important foreign markets that the Wall Street financial press and institutions either ignored or got wrong,

A cynic in me is happy about this state of affairs - the companies who happily joined the AWS bandwagon have to pay the price (including my salary). For my projects I almost always choose something else that offers better value, except in very rare cases when it makes sense.

A decade ago or so AWS was marketed as - to simplify - "fire all your sysadmins because we manage the systems for you" to the current state where good AWS DevOps engineers are expensive and not so easy to find and you pay through the nose if you really follow AWS recommendations, especially for larger setups.
I hope so, whilst Bun isn't the fastest in this space it's definitely got potential to be if they can get some talented SWEs behind it.
Nice article- I very much enjoyed it.

As a side note: I don’t understand why Julia is compared to Python. It really is in the same realm as R - a language designed for scientific computing.

Python is a general purpose language - you can do any (most) tasks with it. Being general purpose is also useful for scientific computing because when the “science” builds into something more it very easy to make an API or a webpage with it etc.

Because of this I don’t think Julia will ever take off in the same way because of it more narrow scope.

Vercel's AI SDK makes it easy to build chatbots using a wide variety of LLM providers.

We made this demo to show how with Pinecone, you can leverage the Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pattern to improve your chatbot with trustworthy and up-to-date data, and reduce hallucinations.

We also made a Vercel template if you want to deploy your own chatbot like this: https://vercel.com/templates/next.js/pinecone-vercel-ai
I agree. The longer I've been a programmer, the more Greenspun's tenth rule
rings true. It's sad that in the modern day, ad-hoc YAML template programming is more widespread than e.g. embedded Lisps. Feels like the concept of "code as data" is severely underrepresented in the programming zeitgeist.

I've been thinking a lot about how to make Prolog (and niche languages in general) more palatable. Killer app, like Ruby:Rails? Corporate backing, like Go:Google? Strong IDE integration, like Typescript:VSCode? Cute mascot? Meme power (HTMX:Grug)? Seems like all of these can help but none are a guarantee. So I figure that starting with IDE support is a decent approach. At the very least it's something I would use myself.

The Reddit example you brought up is very interesting. I feel like niche languages can be a kind of advantage in attracting strong talent despite the small talent pool, but then you have companies that mistake headcount as growth and optimize their tech stack for hireability, picking the popular choices instead.

One decent argument against niche languages is libraries. I have some vague hopes that Wasm Components will be a huge boon for niche languages once it stabilizes and libraries and cloud services start providing their APIs in component form. Of course, we already have near-universal FFI with the C ABI but that is messy enough that most people are unwilling to work with it.

Enjoyed the rant! Here's my own :). I understand there are valid business reasons not to pick a niche language ("we need to hire 10 people NOW and use XYZ library! no time to write our own!") but it's a bit soul-crushing. Working on Prolog stuff is my way of coping.
I learned about computer architecture in my CS curriculum. It seems there’s great variance to these courses, so it’s hard to assume your experience is the same everywhere. Mine had a good deal of practical applications, prefaced by theory. I know people who went to school and didn’t learn some “basic” things, that their curriculum didn’t prioritize.

As time goes by the topics to focus also changes (should we have Machine Learning courses now?), so that’s to be expected.

Ofc, YMMV we all learn differently.
>Ex-workers said the automated method was supposed to increase the yield well above the traditional toolmaking process, in which more than half of a billet’s steel is trimmed away.

So, in chasing the pennies lost in material cost of the billet steel, they threw away a billion dollar investment. That material could be sold as scrap, or recycled and reused.

The whole point of the forging process is to orient the grain structure of the steel to maximize strength in the desired places. It seems obvious that you're going to have to trim some material to make this happen. I've seen scrap recycled and sold in a job shop, with the volume that comes with mass production, they could probably get a far closer payback for their scrap to the original costs.

This whole thing seems more like management failure, rather than anything intrinsic to the labor or US market conditions. Had they started with a goal of turning out quality tools, then working towards production increases and cost reductions after that point, it might have worked out. The chasing of the next quarter's profit seems to always be the wild goose chase that results in failure.
For me the problem is more that 'agile' is now a buzzword and companies try to apply it to lots of things where it doesn't really work.

This neatly describes most things I see in tech.
Yeah there are people who are talking about blah blah blah cloud complexity and how on-prem is some panacea. What they're really getting at is "why go through all this trouble to setup autoscaling groups and load balancers when I'm perfectly fine running things on a single Pentium II whitebox sitting in my closet?" It doesn't seem to occur to them that although that might work _for them_ the whole reason we go through this labor is we need MORE than that.
I don't really see how is that a problem. Webapps work pretty well despite the fact we have a bunch of different browsers – why the Tauri situation should be any different?
Accelerated weathering of olivine mineral rocks is the easy, safe way to cool the planet. Mine 'em, crush 'em fine, spread the dust in the ocean.

The numbers say that even if the whole operation was powered by coal, it'd sequester 20 times as much CO2 as it generated. Use natural gas or other electricity generation for some of it, and the ratio improves dramatically.

Costs less than a $trillion a year which is one percent of global GDP.

Edit: it's the easy, safe, cheap thing to do; and we won't do it.

You can use Jira just fine without Kanban boards. That's really the beauty and the curse of Jira, it can be pretty much anything you want it to. To truly compete with Jira you need a level of flexibility that almost guarantees that your product will suck to.

If you run Jira, Confluence and Bitbucket, the level of integration you can achieve is pretty unmatched. The cost: You need to buy the data center edition, on-prem is required to get any sensible level of performance, and you need Atlassian experts on staff.

Best outcome would be if our man Erdogan can convince Putin to sign another grain deal in any other form, but I doubt it, because the latter made some outrageous requests to do so. Or if the West arms Ukraine with ground launched Harpoon missiles, so that the Kremlin chicken out and avoid exposing their Black Sea fleet to the same fate as Moskva's. There is also the solution of sending the ships through Romania and Bulgaria's territorial waters. Then the Russians can bitch about hidden weapons as much as they like.

Wild European blueberries, vaccinium myrtillus, can't be farmed. If we could, we would, but we can't, so instead we employ hordes of seasonal workers to go out in the forests and harvest them during the month-long season.

As if you personally know 90% of the people here? And how many of those 10% would never ever push advertising on anyone, would you guess?

It's moot anyway, you cannot compensate for a lie by giving someone a lot of cake, even all the cake in the world. It's apples and oranges.

> Advertising is cancer and the current model is not sustainable.

"Advertising" is just a shorthand for the concrete actions concrete individuals engage in. There is no "model" outside of hundreds of decisions people make every day. It's like blaming "capitalism" and pretending people just play the "game" as if that existed outside of those actions. For any person you could name, I can find you someone in the same situation who refused to do the evil thing.
