When you consider how much work a $35 Raspberry Pi 4 could do in 2 months, is it still an interesting technical achievement, or is it an embarrassment?
> ...assumes you know what Matrix is ...

Matrix is a chat protocol. It works like chatting over GIT (distributed databases) and is more like a team messenger like Mattermost or Zulip. Conduit is a server software and not for end users.

Asking to/paying whomever you want and not calling the software maker or one of its licensees. Stallman is a libertarian, his theory is planted firmly on a market or a cooperative community.

EDIT: Let's be pedantic: for those reasons GNU and himself insist on free/libre software, openness of the source grants your eyeballs to read the source, but you however may just be in the situation where you are evaluating a software under EULA, so: you can read it but can't modify the slightest line (and recompile).

Developers can create modules in Javascript very similar to writing web components or React components. The only addition is to write a declaration of the connectors (e.g. value, data, location, etc.) and use provided functions to subscribe to cell value changes.

Developers can import NPM packages, load external javascript files, use JSX, write CSS, use Typescript, etc. We will provide all the necessary tooling online so that building a module is as simple as using an online IDE like codepen. No need for downloads, building, compilation, etc.

Non-developers can also create custom modules that consist of other nested modules grouped together. We also aim to have a lightweight way for citizen developers to write modules using spreadsheet-like syntax.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Leg

a British late-night television humorous talk/sketch show that originally ran alongside the 2012 Summer Paralympics every night following the main coverage on Channel 4.

Anchored by Australian comedian Adam Hills and co-hosted by Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker, it gives a review of the week's events.

Featuring a mix of comedy, guests and Paralympics highlights, the show received strong reviews and regularly pulled in more than a million viewers each night of the Paralympic Games.

It has since become a weekly show giving a humorous alternative look back at the week's events. Outside of the UK, the show is broadcast in Hills' native Australia by the ABC

... described by main presenter Adam Hills as "Three guys with four legs talking about the week"

XMPP by its extensible nature can be a social network (Movim), a community organizer (Libervia), or can be used for basic presence, etc. & these can sit atop your XMPP server (Prosody, ejabberd, etc.). Matrix, without extensibility, is kinda relegated to chat (text, voice, video) only. The push-based servers make clients efficient, and both Prosody & ejabberd can be UnifiedPush server with a basically a boolean flip in the config—interestingly can be a push server for Element & other Matrix clients instead of relying on Google.

Ask HN: How do you measure eng team productivity?
I’m finding very little resource on this topic. However, it is paramount to follow it as a team grows or a company grows - I’ve known many companies whose developers effectively stopped developing anything of value, being burdened by bugs, bureaucracy, or poor relationships.
To be precise, productivity is the measure of outputs over inputs. In the engineering world, outputs are usually value increments (the definition of which varies according to each team’s mission and expertise. They could be user stories for devs, models for data scientists, terraform changes for ops), and input is time. I would note that I don’t know whether to count maintenance tasks in or out (such as keeping versions up to date) or the output definition. However, anything that does not bring obvious value (bug fixing, refactoring) should be counted out of output in terms of productivity - don’t get me wrong, refactoring is useful and important, because when done well it will improve future productivity.
The term “team” deserves some definition too. A team in my question has two attributes:
- a common mission
- size between 2 and 7 people

I’m looking for testimonies and knowledge:
- how is productivity measured in your team if you’re an engineer? In different teams if you’re at a management level? Conversely, is it not measured and do you know why?
- how is productivity measured in companies you know, either through firsthand experience or well-documented sources? (Company articles, books)
- are you aware of research in this area?

On a last side note, I would count research displayed in Accelerate out of the productivity question. The DORA metrics don’t delve into the complex details of “what is value for my team” and focus on the release level. The books and research are great, but arguably not about engineering productivity.

Intent to approve PEP 703: making the GIL optional - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36913328 - July 2023 (488 comments)
Management is about having authority. That is, you're a vector: you must defend the company's values (which you may disagree with) in front of your team (which may disagree with them too).

So you'd better be very aligned on those values to be happy in the job.

(for example, when I was a manager, my manager's goal was to "show the rest of the company we can make websites much faster", which meant putting pressure on everyone. I disagreed with that, making things faster just to "show it can be done" at a very high human price, didn't look like a good idea. So I suffered.)

The "big bug" indeed limits the possibilities of _Generic. But if you really want to abuse it beyond its intended scope, I think you can simply add some casting, and not the gimmicks with nested _Generic.

String * : ((String*)(x))->len \

> The nice thing about JSON5 is, you can move a project from a JSON-based config to JSON5-based config and get a significant improvement in human friendliness without sacrificing backwards compatibility

What backwards compatibility are you referring to? It seems like you actually are sacrificing BC, as the JSON5 file won't be readable by older versions of your software (that doesn't use a JSON5 parser yet).
> If you stir a glass of water, the theorem guarantees that there absolutely must be one particle of water that will end up in the same place it started from.

Wait what? If you stir a glass long enough, any configuration of particles should be possible. For instance you can imagine "cutting" the water like a deck of cards.
The comments to that last post are still as obnoxious and as short-sighted as the original: a bunch of nerds bike-shedding and defending the status quo as if their life depended on it. Only there you can find so many that just love JSON, as if it descended from heaven and they have never had any issue with it. What's a trailing comma?

I guess the lesson is: avoid the opinion of popularity-based social media, such as Reddit, HN, Twitter, etc. 90% is people trying to outsmart each other with their drive by criticism for karma.

In fact, in general, just ignore pretty much anyone's opinion if you are creating something, whether it's a personal project, a work of art or any other creative endeavour. Vision is a solitary process; the vast majority lack vision at all, and pretty much no one shares YOUR vision.
I'd go for a db, yeah, or if that's a really painful mapping, this, erm, is actually the sort of thing Go is pretty good at it, and it's not too hard to write a fairly simple program that will traverse your data structure and communicate via a JSON api or something. That's a useful technique in general - separate the big heavy awkward thing from your main web processes.

While I hate how verbose and inexpressive it is, Go does hit a sweet spot of fairly good performance, even multi-core, while still being GCed so it's not nearly as foreign for a native python user.
This is a cold take. Many people on HN hate ligatures.

I’m not sure how that’s useful. The capability to produce goods and services seems a whole lot more real to me in terms of value than gold (the value of which would collapse anyway if modern economy did).

In theory can have currencies directly backed by oil, wheat or copper if you don’t want fiat for some reason. Would still be more ”real” than gold.
