6% is the average yield there for the index. Within it there are plenty of bonds paying 8, 10, 12 etc. And plenty of others defaulting. But none are ponzi schemes.

The same applies to this. If someone offers you 400% it's a scam (Ponzi or otherwise). If someone offers you 8% it's risky or there is some other reason no one else has touched it.

8% is not inherently unachievable. Just good (and therefore likely there is some risk).

> ... the inner JX expression will be evaluated even if cond is false.

Well, actually. it don't have to be. Just React decides to compile JSX in that way.

Vue 3 also supports JSX. But it keep the content of children lazily evaluated.

Their compiler compile a JSX `<Parent><Child /></Parent>` to structure like `h(Parent, {}, { default: () => h(Child, {}, {}) })` . So the child jsx tag is never evaluated unless the Parent component want to.

It's really not a syntax limitation because JSX never specify that the children of element must be eagerly evaluated.
Oh, I wish I could find it, but there's an excellent video by a mathematician explaining why an infinity doesn't work in your favor here. IIRC, it's because as the number of throws approach infinity, the odds also approach being infinitesimal, and you'll still lose.
I think you misunderstood the GUE standards. Nitrox isn't significant less narcotic than air. They set a 100 ft equivalent narcotic depth maximum limit somewhat arbitrarily because empirically that seems to be pretty safe. Below that depth we add progressively more helium to the mix to limit narcosis as well as gas density (work of breathing).

Even among Firefox users, only about 41% have add-ons installed in the first place: https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/usage-behavior So 59% of current Firefox users could switch to Chrome without being affected by the Manifest V3 change at all.

I don't know how many Chrome users use add-ons that would become less useful after the change, so it'll definitely be interesting to see whether Firefox's numbers will show a sudden uptick at some point.
No, it's not inconvenient at all to point out that the earth warmed in the past and mass extinctions resulted (according to the article). In fact, it's a great data point. Did you even read the article you linked, or just don't understand what a mass extinction means for humanity?

How are you taking, for example, a request to make a "fun but not over the top character from the middle ages, with relevant weapons and a backstory. Game theme is a world populated by anthropomorphic vegetables." And get back a character for the game in a specific JSON format without the LLM in your design here? That's not encodable in the grammar.
I can tell you from doing testing on Edge back when it represented a potential third engine to support: that browser crashed a lot. It was very unreliable prior to switching to becoming another chromium fork. It is clear the dev team was either underfunded or plain incompetent and Microsoft was in dire need of a default browser that didn't make people wince, ASAP, they could not afford to wait [insert X years to get a mature engine] so they went the obvious route and chose to make a chromium fork.

Making a reliable engine that supports all of the modern web is a monstrous undertaking. Not just "support", it needs to be reliable. Microsoft missed the boat when they allowed IE to rot and it was too late to catch up now. Every year spent without a reliable browser preinstalled on your OS is detrimental.

Of course any system will require maintenance. The question is more about the significance and frequency of the maintenance required.

You can take a Ruby on Rails app from 2005, and it will mostly look the same as a 2023 Rails app. You'll need to update some gems, use the newer routing DSL, and update the environment configs. But that's pretty much it, after nearly 2 decades.

Contrast that to a React app written 5 years ago, where you'd pretty much need to completely rewrite everything (class components => functional, use hooks instead of callback methods, etc.)

This is precisely the problem with the new BSL license. Whether your usage of Terraform complies with the license isn’t determined by the legal terms, but instead is entirely at the whim of HashiCorp. And they can change their mind at any time. It makes it impossible to build anything on top of Terraform.

TLC and QLC has far worse durability than SLC or MLC.

There's tradeoffs everywhere. IMO, I stick with the "last generation", because the new stuff almost always has stability and/or data-loss issues. Even top-end Samsung drives on the newest tech seems to lose data.

Or the SanDisk loss-of-data problem on their SSD drives.

---------

https://www.theverge.com/22291828/sandisk-extreme-pro-portab...

The only reason why TLC became usable was because new load-balancing algorithms would keep track of which bits were being erased (each erasure uses up your drive's limited durability).

It would then have a mini-computer analyze which cells were least used (aka: load-balancing) and move your data over to the less used sections of the drive. Furthermore, drives would compress the data to minimize writes (and therefore erasures).

Its not exactly a simple technology, and a lot of things have gone wrong in practice.

--------

When your software says "Write to SSD-location #10,000", it _DOESN'T_ write there. It enters the load balancing algorithm, it finds a new location that has least been used. It pretends that new location is #10,000. It sets the "old Location-10,000" to the TRIM state, and then the OS runs a garbage collector over your data at some future point to keep this whole scheme working.
It’s still a niche vehicle. A million units over 34 years isn’t much by automotive standards.
Ask HN: Benchmarking Kafka Request Reply
I have inherited an application which uses Kafkas request/reply configuration to provide a (mostly) synchronous configuration, which seems to work well enough. However I have now been approached by management to figure out what sort of scale this can handle. I am a bit green with Kafka so did a bit of looking around, however my normal load testing tools seem to not support Kafka request reply.

Gatling doesn't want to cover this, and points to a third party plug in, which appears to be undocumented and archived.

JMeter can generate load via Pepperbox, but doesn't consume.

There appears to be a lot of information on generating load, but nothing about measuring throughput in this set up. Is this a step too far in validating an asynchronous service, or are there setups that can be used to understand the limits of our infrastructure?

FreeBSD is great, if your hardware is supported. And unfortunately, that's a giant IF.

I wanted to try jails on a 2011 HP DL380 G7, which is enterprise level hardware. I had to jump through several hoops to even get off the ground. Apparently FreeBSD didn't come with power management out of the box. So I had to learn about powerd, Intel Speedstep, and CPU C-states (but hey, it comes with a mail server pre-installed). And even then I was having issues. So I gave up and installed Alpine Linux, which worked perfectly with no extra config. I learned LXD instead.

Since then, I've replaced that behemoth of a server with a couple low power, tiny desktops running Debian (bookworm has LXD in the default repos now). I didn't actually look, but I'm fairly certain FreeBSD wasn't going to play nice with Intel's QuickSync and GPU passthrough to jails like Debian/LXD does.

Anyways, that's always been my biggest hurdle with FreeBSD. I do like the cohesiveness of all their tooling though.
I don't assume it's implemented like "next = array[2...]". I don't even know what that means.

All the other data being sent is pretty standard. It uses location data to configure search and show Recommended by Pocket articles (though, I'm not sure they actually use location data for this - unless it's really high level, such as country). And they use analytics to know how often you click on items - which practically every app does these days.

I appreciate the letter and trying to work with Hashicorp -- I used to have a ton of respect for Hashicorp. But honestly... at this point...

...just fork it into a foundation. Don't wait for Hashicorp's response. I get wanting to have the appearance of working with Hashicorp, but we've been shown again, and again, and again, and a-fucking-gain that private corporations cannot be trusted to maintain public goods. Only community governed non-profit foundations can do that.

Private corporations will put the bottom line first every single time. And in the case of investor funded enterprises, the bottom line is never ending exponential growth or bust.
Doom was famous for being one of the first Multiplayer PC games. There is an old anecdote about how John Carmack noted that it would be pretty easy to add network multiplayer to the code he was writing and John Romeo's eyes practically flashed dollar signs.

Of course as an afterthought it had a couple of issues. The primary one being that the framerate was locked to whomever had the slowest computer. Probably drove PC sales as you did NOT want to be the guy who showed up to the LAN party and tanked everyone's FPS.
I agree, but speaking as someone who's been using JS for computationally medium-intensive tasks: Firefox and Chrome don't differ that much. For most users, the difference is negligible.

Regardless of where it runs, the paradigm is very similar.

On a separate note, the attitude of "That's back-end" that permeates HTML/Javascript development is probably one of my biggest pet peeves; the disdain for what programming languages and GUI implementations have offered in the past hinders learning lessons from those implementations.

And that only holds us back.

> The biggest lesson so far is that code is very dense. A half hour presentation is just enough time to present maybe a dozen meaty lines of code and one main idea. It is also almost certainly the case that the presenters, who have to actually really dig down into a piece of code, get more out of it than anybody. But it does seem that a good presentation can at least expose people to the main ideas and maybe give them a head start if they do decide to read the code themselves.

Which exposes the disconnect: A computer program is not about expressing an idea; it's about doing a thing. It's a very specific set of instructions that explain how to do a thing; often having to handle corner cases that a human would not need explained to them.

>Shopify said this is allowed per its developer TOS.

Without any kind of legislation saying otherwise, these companies can put whatever the fuck they want in the TOS, which is the cheat code that allowed tech companies to extract obscene profits while completely skipping on customer support costs and legal liability.

But this could always come to an end if there's political will to legislate. In my home country a new law was passed that says companies can't keep you on hold for more than 10 minutes before you talk to a real human when you call customer support, and now companies are scrambling to hire enough customer support to deal with the new law because previously they'd leave you in a queue for 45 minutes on hold hoping you'd give up.

So it's definitely possible to not fuck over consumers, all it needs is the proper regulations in place since you can't always rely on the good will of for-profit corporations. Yes, that will make it more expensive for tech businesses to operate and reduce their profit margins, but if your business was supposed to be profitable only when skirting the law, not offering customer support, and fucking over your customers on a whim, then I don't need your business to exist in the first place.

Not sure in which reality you're living, but FirefoxOS was developed at Mozilla from 2011 to 2016, before any cut back. Mozilla Corp actually grew a lot during that time.

About FxOS being mismanaged, well... you have to understand that if you follow a model where you rely on others for distribution (carriers and open market OEMs), you are bound to their constraints. In that case, it was a chicken and egg situation where selling devices without a WhatsApp app was very difficult, but WA didn't want to develop an app for a new OS until it grew to tens of millions of users.

Then Moz top management lost some key proponents of the project, and the FirefoxOS haters got their wish. I still don't understand why Mitchel Baker didn't agree to support a community based project (like Thunderbird) or try a strong privacy based spin.
