Similarly I worked at a 1000 person financial institution for years and represented 50% of the Android mobile developer division there.

Keeping and bearing necessarily imply the right to acquire.

Cool! There were definitely some hacks/issues with nix-darwin though most of my time was probably spent porting my neovim config[1] (still working on it) which should mostly carry over if I want to check out NixOS. I'll probably take the spare machine approach as you mentioned.

Go was made popular and successful for only one reason, google used/made it. And this was at the height of googles coolness. So other companies followed on the bandwagon, or were made by former google developers and brought it over. The success is completely secondary to how many people like go or the features it has.

As far as simplicity I think I would disagree and agree with that. Rust is not a simple language. Other languages like F# or Scala or Kotlin that have arisen in the same timeframe as go are also not simple. But they do try and make some hard things easier, like concurrency or type safety.
Niche use cases are a great reason to make a bespoke tool! But that doesn’t make it not a niche use case. And it doesn’t mean that tool is optimal for the common use case.
Its almost like the real reason mobile web servers don’t exist is because its a terrible idea and not because companies secretly don’t want them to
Discipline is the most valuable and precious thing a parent can give their child. They did good but ideally, the ban would not be a mere removal of ipads and electronics but developing trust with them and teaching them to resist the temptation and possible peer-pressure and FOMO.
Great article, especially the opcode charts! Almost all you find online are unfortunately in hex, which obscures the encoding.

The strangest feature inherited from the 8008 is probably the parity flag. There are some uses other than 7-bit ASCII comms for it, but this kind of code is probably heavily 'pessimized' on modern CPUs:

TEST AL,0xc0
JZ quadrant0 ;both bits clear
JPE quadrant3 ;both bits set
JS quadrant2 ;only bit 7 set
JMP quadrant1 ;only bit 6 set

And to this day, even the reserved lower flag bits have the same values as they did on the 8080 ('S Z 0 A 0 P 1 C'). I wonder if there is actually code out there that depends on bit 1 being set.

One nitpick:

>The ModR/M byte has been changed in 64-bit mode so the BX (originally HL) register is no longer special when accessing memory

It was 32-bit mode that made EAX, ECX and EDX usable for addressing, though not the 16-bit lower half registers. And nothing with that changed in the transition to 64 bits.
This is completely delusional. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians are dead, even more wounded, and the country is destroyed. For what? To “weaken Russia”? Pretty cynical if you think that was worth it. Unless you actually believe the nonsense about Putin trying to recreate the Soviet Union or whatever stupid fantasy the blob is peddling these days.

I was thrown into vi, back in 1996, learning Linux. It was the default (or at least available) and the SuSE manual that came with the CD-ROM box had a chapter on vi/vim.

For me it was my first editor on Linux. Didn't stick until I rediscovered it some 20 years ago when I got fed up with the netbeans nonsense and gedit and Kate kept breaking on me.
I really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing.

I’m pleased to see the frequency and depth of the comments in the code too, makes it all very accessible.

Anyone managed to get it to compile?

You may want to read those signs a bit more closely, because the CDC did not close schools, parks, beaches, or restaurants.

> Police enforced the orders in a lot of cases, astonishingly even when there was no law in place delegating that authority to them, or when it was blatantly illegal and contradicted the US Constitution (i.e Religious assembly).

That's one of the things why the US was a laughing stock worldwide: prioritizing going to mass to a pandemic.

But it is worth noting that these orders came from state governor offices, not the CDC. Again, the CDC does not have that kind of power.
> The revisionism around Covid has gotten wild. Certain businesses had to close for a few months (with government aid), capacity limits came and went for a while after that, and some places required you to wear a mask for longer. But somehow the narrative has become “the government would not let me leave my house for multiple years”.

Technically that's one narrative among many - popular with some, unpopular with others.

Yes, I think so. Being written by one person isn't a hard requirement, it's just that I feel like you get a better sense of programming style and someone's approach to problem solving when you read code that hasn't been touched by too many people.

Projects with a maintainer who strictly enforces code style and quality would still fit the description. From what I've heard, OpenBSD falls under this category. I'll add it to my list.

Still interesting to me. Is the AI winter coming (again)?
They were just accepting incoming data as-is and typescript won’t do a thing for you.

Ideally you validate incoming data using jsonschema or whatnot.
If your primary issue is read/query performance, then sure, well-designed indexes, partitioning and, as you say, carefully constructed WHERE clauses are often enough to maintain decent performance even with millions of records. But if you then to do deletions or bulk updates or schema transformations you're in for some serious downtime.
Absolutely. I did not intend to demean improv, which is an incredibly useful skill and also great practice for a lot of analogous situations.

I just wanted to briefly defend conventional acting as well, which is poorly understood. (Partly by deliberate choice; actors do like to tell myths about their craft.) As both an actor and programmer myself, I find a number of overlapping skills.

Was the datapoint 2200 a brand new machine or was it influenced by others esp. wrt. the assembly language instruction set?

Looking up Datapoint on Wikipedia shows a predecessor box, the 3300. But did the new designers of the 2200 totally ignore the 3300 instruction set? The 3300 seems to have used shift-registers as well.

Other data terminals at that time or radio equipment these designers might have used before?

Thx

As someone who writes in C++ and uses coroutines everyday for work, I find for our use case this is actually helpful.

We use seastar.io a thread per core framework and locks are "async" friendly in that they yield for access instead of blocking. Also embracing fully async message passing between threads simplifies the programming model a ton.
> However, since climatologists are much smarter than the average person, I would still rather that the average person defer to climatologists on almost any issue

BBedit ?
True. The SMTP has provisions that account for the host server being powered off, a personal computer was a reasonable host for this protocol.

The sending client is supposed to retry if the receiving server is down.
US seems to be in a hardware/science renaissance, now that there is a new Cold War enemy, and manufacturing and research are being brought back to US.
Worse still was the tendency of the control-measure and lockdown theatrics to later extend into a strange national version of Goodheart's law, in which the measure of cases (not deaths but just cases, even after the virus became milder) became a target and fixation for pursuing continued control measures that by almost all estimates didn't work much at all.

I can think of only one large country exception to this, which was China for a time (though their numbers can't be trusted) and at least as far as i'm concerned enacting those kinds of measures is unacceptable in any context for a virus that eventually would end up causing more or less the same mortality effects either way.

Much of the highly biased, often irrational lockdown obsession in the U.S (and other countries) was a deluded technocratic attempt to impose pseudoclinical fantasy on a reality that didn't conform.
I do not understand yet (open to explanations!) what is the difference between stackless and stackful coroutines in the fact that stackless should be cheap and even "collapsable" when nested in lifetimes but if it is not the case... stackful is cheaper.

Are not stackless supposed to be more performant? In which cases? Yes I know their virality, potential heap allocations, etc.
Yes, to be specific it's a git clone and a command to apply the flake.
Well, it's not part of the language, but some implementations yeah... :-(
Generators come to my mind.
Cannot comment on these numbers, other than the fact that they are incomplete. Again, compared to other developed countries, the US had one of the worst outcomes.

> Also, easing up on measures that never fully clarified their cost-benefit analysis and caused all kinds of real harm while also often descending into the ideologically and theatrically absurd wasn't just about "avoiding slight inconveniences".

I'm waiting for anyone to prove that having to put on a mask was much more disruptive than COVID-19 or death. In HN, "social issues" come up a lot, like kids having to use masks and somehow suffering from "delays" in social learning, which doesn't seem to apply to me, as I have two young kids and they and their friends turned out to be just fine.

Funny though, kids seem to bitch less about masks and vaccines than adults.
I never liked it for one reason: people use it to virtue signal to potential employers that they've been active in open source and have worked diligently on various side-projects. Whilst there's nothing wrong with that, it gets tricky when the person is over-involved with GitHub, since GitHub has many metrics people try to game, and GitHub does 'gamification' style tactics to keep users hooked.

It's basically social media, but for code. If people just calmed down a bit and stopped trying to earn badges and keep their contributions graph green, that would be great.
I remember that video; the long story short was that a manufacturer of films for photography noticed that their films had spots on them, they initially thought it was defects, but because they had samples prior to testing, they saw an uptick.

But maybe I remember wrong.

Edit: the video in question is [1] and the conpany was Kodak.

Is it feasible to be a contract/freelance product manager?
I have a background in both software engineering and product management. I really enjoy both, but more people seem to identify me as a product manager since that's most of my past experience (except for my side hustle).

I recently started a contract product manager position that I got through a contact at the company's executive level. They've given me a specific project to work on, but I can tell their goal is really to hire me into a full time position.

I like the idea of having 1-3 different contracting gigs all the time. Working on different problems is appealing. Not getting sucked into a degrading corporate role is appealing. Being able to pick and choose what I work on is appealing.

I'm realizing that one of the challenges of contract product work (say as compared to contract engineering work) is that you need much more domain expertise to be effective. I'm a few weeks into getting my feet wet at the first contract and I'm just starting to really understand a segment of their business. I think this might be ok because I've identified some low hanging fruit that they're blind to due to them working on the problem for so long. Maybe my value is just having fresh eyes?

Does any have any experience doing contract/freelance work? My main goal is just to keep myself flexible.
It's even worse in the case of hedge funds (well, arbitrage in general), because any given strategy has a maximum amount of profit it could make before the market loses that specific inefficiency. Or at least, that's the theory.

It's basically like finding a gold mine and telling everyone to come over and take what they want from it.
Interesting. I use Mercurial in my day job and use Araxis Merge. Before pushing to CI I use Araxis to diff every file. Can make changes to the file in the tool if needed. Often reverting temp changes or spurious whitespace. This generates new changes which I then amend.
Seems like this has a lot more to do with limited bandwidth than with server compute power.
Which is why it works perfectly fine to send e-mail when you're on a plane without WiFi -- it's designed to send once you've got a connection.

But the article is about a personal website. Websites run over HTTP, which is not designed for anything unreliable.

It's interesting to think about a web that was designed to have lots of intermediary caching peers along the way as part of the protocol, but that's not what we have.

This was just one example of where 31-bit ints bit you in NewtonScript. But there were many more, especially when dealing with interoperability with the OS, which was in C++.
Look for in house LLM ops and infra roles. “MLops” is the term I’m seeing when people ask me to recommend people in for locally hosted LLM infra standup. Know Azure if it’s enabling an org vs offering an LLM SaaS.
Insane amount of money: Of the 10 countries with the highest median income, 7 of them are European. By some measures, the USA is-midpack, with Norway/Canada very similar to us, but missing most of the entrepeneurial/VC culture of the USA.

World hegemony: mostly a function of the post-WWII situation, combined with our willingness to spend absolutely insane amounts on our military and use it to impose or at minimum encourage US interests globally.

Very high standard of living: the US has one of the highest GINI coefficients world wide, so only a median comparison (which is quite hard to develop) really conveys the differences accurately. Large swaths of the USA (notably Appalachia and also the desert southwest) have a substantially lower median standard of living than most of Europe.

Anyway, even if your claims about the USA were true, that by itself doesn't connect them to the VC risk/reward culture under discussion.
Pretty sure the type of weapon is of little importance in this case, they would have stayed outside if the shooter had a muzzle loader.
Composing/merging multiple packages rather than layering them saves time and makes things consistent between "containers". Systemd service description contains 90% of what you may want from docker anyway. (filesystem isolation, security restrictions, networking, lifecycle management, multiple service instances)
Very cool. Unfortunately it's probably not very relevant to current programming practice, but it definitely fits the bill for historical impact.
Sounds like the bosses problem for not scheduling the meeting with-in the schedule.

Disclosure: I'm a contributor to Fern.

This is good feedback that we need to provide more examples starting with OpenAPI instead of with the Fern Definition. For some context, we convert the OpenAPI spec into a Fern definition and then pass that into the code generators.

If you want to see some real world examples, check out these links:

- https://github.com/vellum-ai/vellum-client-generator/tree/ma... -> https://github.com/vellum-ai/vellum-client-python

- https://github.com/Squidex/sdk-fern/tree/main/fern/api/opena... -> https://github.com/Squidex/sdk-node

Worth calling out that you can go from the Fern Definition -> OpenAPI anytime to prevent lock in.
I recently watched Beat the Devil. I thought it was pretty dreadful. I had no idea it had a cult following and I can't imagine why. The film really runs out of steam about halfway through and most of the actors seemed to be going through the motions. It is certainly not among the Huston films that I would recommend. Watch The Maltese Falcon or The Misfits first.

That said, Ebert put it on his "Great Movies" list:

https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-beat-the-devi...

It's also possibly interesting for having had a 28-year old Truman Capote as screen writer. Except that I really think Capote wasn't a good fit for Hollywood. Breakfast at Tiffany's did not translate well to screen.

On the other hand, Roman Holiday is among my favorite films. It's the quintessential romcom.

For a terrific and unusual red-scare inspired film, let me recommend Johny Guitar. Now that's a film that deserves a cult following.

There seems to be a strong culture in American companies, and especially in startups, of rewarding heroic efforts. But if I see people putting in heroic efforts to get things done I tend to look for ways to not need those efforts in the future.

Good experienced engineers can help ensure that you don’t keep having to go that extra mile to get the job done in the first place.

deno_python exposes Python modules to JavaScript in a way that makes it possible access the API of any Python module out of the box, as if it were a JS API. Executing a Python shell command is quite different.

Here, FFI is used to interface with the Python Interpreter C API. Argument for FFI against just executing shell commands is performance, efficiency, and that you can make calls from same process instead of spawning a subprocess. When doing [de]serialization over shell interface, a lot of things will be hit and miss. But for deno_python, type conversions are widely supported. You can even pass around objects by reference with zero copy, which would otherwise require copy over a shell interface.
