> You are missing the "we could pay someone that provides a commodified, open-source alternative to Snowflake" option.

Which services provider do you have in mind to pay? The advantage of Snowflake is that the CIO can pick Snowflake as the default for the entire org and it will work across a very large number of business use cases. I don't see any open source analytic software that can do that.

In my experience open source analytic solutions work much better for specific use cases, say network flow log analysis. You pick exactly the right set of components for that use case and build specifically to the problem. Maybe you use ClickHouse + Kafka--cheaper, simpler, faster. But when you shift to another problem, such as analyzing support case patterns, that requires unpredictable joins on large numbers of tables the first solution does not work at all. Now you need something like Presto on data lakes, which is completely different technology.

The alternative is to move all the data in to Snowflake and do both of the above use cases there. Sure, it's not the fastest or the cheapest software but the savings in labor more than make up for the licensing cost. A lot of companies make that decision.
I find Pascal based languages to be much more readable than most JavaScript and C++ code bases.
This is a good paper. It's the one I read some years ago that made semispace garbage collection click for me.
Tinkering with model railroads or exploring phone systems are not along the same levels. Who did you have in mind?
Good for you, their point still holds up. Languages like Python and Go are more readable than awk and bash. They are designed to be that way, and many many years of effort have been put into them for that specific purpose.

Whereas if you know awk and bash, then they can be incredibly useful in a pinch. It doesn’t knock how powerful they are. I think it is worth learning. But if something needs to be maintained then there is an argument for Python/Go/whatever.

Yes, I would get to double-dip.
For now - but surely they too will increase as part of this. What are the rates after the increase which will impact every registry?

Hi, the project is not open source yet. I'd like to decouple the application itself from the backend code that handles the Stripe integration, emails and other application irrelevant functionality first - then open source it and get more eyes on the code. Hypothetically, if the whole back-end was open source ATM - you could run it locally or somewhere like on Vercel - with no problems, you'd just need to set the ENV variables for things like Stripe and other services to an empty value.

I'd say that the most important part of the infrastructure is the signaling server (websocket server), and the STUN/TURN server used in WebRTC connection forming.

One interesting fact about the currently running application; the application itself is client-side rendered. If you would download the application bundle that you get when you open the application in your browser, you could use it if you would mock networking requests - this would basically simulate the way it works now when the PWA is offline. With the application being client-side rendered - every user gets the same code.
Or being uncomfortable causes them to want to seek comfort (social?), but lacking adaptive outlets they instead do maladaptive ones like social media.

I eat animals so don’t share that concern, but respect it.

I don’t think the burden of this behavior is a waste of my tax money. Yes, it irritates me when people go into the wilderness unprepared but I’m glad when they are rescued. This is similar; the failure modes imposed upon third parties are pretty minimal and we see from the post by he coast guard officer it’s no big deal.

Another parallel is seatbelts: we all should wear them but the first responders should still help motorists who don’t.

I would not say the same thing if someone were doing home biohacking and didn’t dispose of their bio and chemical waste properly. That has a large and asymmetric impact on third parties.
Man, I'd go for that, not gonna lie.

You highlight the difference between zealous advocacy and debate. The advocate cannot admit the flaws of their own position, or the merits of the other position. You characterize the left in a moderate way, and the right in an extremist way, even though extremism exists on both sides.

I miss the cultural norm that privileged debate over zealous advocacy, leaving the latter to lawyers and politicians.

MMT would disagree with this claim: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_monetary_theory

Even among Keynesian economists and others the exact causes are disputed and most seem to agree that it comes down to a combination of factors with "making more money" not necessarily even being the most direct or biggest contributor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation

Opponents often cite historical examples of hyperinflation but arguably in most of those cases the government "making excessive amounts of money" was just a reaction to the hyperinflation itself. E.g. the collapse of the German "Papiermark" directly followed the defeat of Germany in the first World War, which also settled the country with extremely painful reparations and involved a republican revolution which preceded years of political instability (e.g. there were two different and conflicting Soviet republics in Bavaria alone).

So as correlation goes, states that go kerplunk tend to print a lot of money. This does not suggest that printing a lot of money makes them go kerplunk or vice versa. They might be going kerplunk for entirely different reasons and print a lot of money to address those reasons, desperately. It actually seems unscientific to assume societies work so trivially that printing too much money destroys them given how complex we know societies are (or failing that, at least how complex individual humans are and how complex therefore interactions between them must be).

> To specify: - I am interested in learning react / typescript / vue.js --> I am, at least from what I read / tried so far, a JavaScript fan and want to get more into that to start.

Hello! I've been down this road before.

I personally would avoid TypeScript for now and just learn JavaScript well. Compiled TypeScript is just JavaScript anyway, so if you don't know JS, you don't know TS.

I would start with trying to make an app just using vanilla JavaScript. Start with a `index.html` page + a `<script>` tag, and see how far you can get. I was always more motivated to finish these projects when I was building something I wanted to use for myself. MDN is the go-to resource[1] for JS. I would go through the "beginner" tutorials on that page first, and then try to come up with an app. javascript.info[2] is also great if you need extra reference.

The reason I recommend doing all that before jumping straight to React is you learn how to write JavaScript without a library/framework, which I think gives you more options. It also shows you why something like React is useful to begin with. When you're ready to try a library, I would start with Preact without build tools[3]. Preact has essentially the same API as React, but it's lighter weight, and it's website has a guide to using it without build tools (which React docs no longer have, since they recommend you jump straight to using a big framework like Next now).

Eventually, you may want to use build tools so that you can split up your app into multiple .js files. In that case you'll have to install Node.js on your system. Node.js is just a runtime for JavaScript that you can install on your PC or server (kinda how you install Ruby on your PC). Most JavaScript build tools are written in JavaScript to run on Node.js, hence why you need Node. Node comes with a package manager called `npm`, which you'll see and use a lot. Preact has a good guide for getting started with Vite, which is a build tool. [4]

I think it's also important to know that most of these libraries (React/Vue/Preact/Svelte) are mostly interchangeable. They all have strengths and weaknesses. Pick what you're most productive with. These libraries are also far less opinionated than something like Ruby on Rails. Each of these libraries have equivalent frameworks that fill that niche. (React -> Next.js, Vue -> Nuxt.js, Svelte -> SvelteKit).

Good luck! Let me know if you have more questions.

Years ago I was interviewing for a software engineering role. At the end of one of the interviews I asked how they liked working there. And the interviewer caught me off-guard with "it kind of sucks". She went on to explain that the company recently promoted a bunch of youngsters into VP roles through a combination of nepotism and early start dates, and they didn't know what they were doing. I thanked her and politely bowed out of the process when the hiring manager reached out to me with the next steps.

This was Nvidia in 2006 and their stock is up about 200x since then.
My guess is there will be no charges filed. They will drag this out for a year until the world has forgot all about it, then just quietly drop it all.
I'm also tired of cynicism, but this is a useful comment pointing out a valid conflict of interest, and suggesting a better alternative ("I'd prefer the federal government to take the lead here"). It's not just a lazy "don't engage, don't vote, nothing will ever get better" type of comment, which is probably what you're actually tired of.
No haha I wrote it myself. Guess I should change my style and improve so I'm not mistaken for the current title of the blog, which I just labeled as a tongue in cheek AI commentary.
Porkbun's pricing is incredibly keen (almost at cost) for those TLDs. What is their business model?
(quote a b c) does not exist in Lisp. QUOTE takes exactly one argument, the object to quote. It's a special operator.

'(a b c) is (quote (a b c))

> defun = special form

DEFUN is not really a form in the standard. It's a operator. It's even not a special operator. It's a macro operator.

A form is something meant to be evaluated. One could evaluate the symbol DEFUN, but by default it has no value.
The difference between apple products and non apple products is that you can easily upgrade them. My core i9 laptop (a cpu that easily competes with anything apple can offer, so it should be fine for heavy workloads, albeit at bateryy cost), has 5600 mhz ram speed, 7 gb / s dual nvme support, both of which upgradeable. Most folks i know with non mac laptops can at least upgrade their hard drives and often ram. Disk space and ram not an issue for non apple users. TB disk level is absolutely feasible outside that platform. You can buy 2TB nvmes capable of 5 gb / s for less than 100$ easily.

You have to go vote anyway, right?

Since rich people tend to make more money per hour, that is discriminatory to them too.

Honestly if there is one thing the US doesn't need it is more uninformed voters. I would love if one could require a test for civics or something before you could vote. Not discriminating anyone, no grandfather clauses.
Right...which is what state investigators are in the process of doing.
> the official git binary

Unfortunately, as the git website [1] states, these are fairly out of date (currently 2.33 from 2021-08-30). To get something recent, you have to build them yourself, which requires...devtools.

Seems bizarre, to me, that they don't have them built automatically.

In this case the cynicism is warranted. There is a HUGE conflict of interest here.
The guy who asked for the investigation has a clear conflict of interest. That doesn't mean that the KPI has one.

What point are you trying to make here? You think in states that don't require permits, the state cannot bar that person from owning firearms? Obviously the person you are responding to is referring states that issue carry permits.

Of course, the problem isn't really the rich. There aren't enough of them to strain the assistance budget even if they do all take the free lunch. The problem is the people who are richer than the ones who are eligible, but aren't actually rich. There are a lot more of them, and the money to give them all free things may just not exist.

I mean, I've spent 25+ years as an art director, a.k.a. a diffusion model trying to generate what managers and salespeople think they see in their heads, and I tell you, they have no imagination. None whatsoever. As my brother, a photographer, used to say: The problem isn't having a cheap camera, it's who's behind it.

Also, the hostility towards a prompt expert adding another layer of technical "know how" into the process between requests and art in the name of justifying a new job title is entirely warranted.

Web servers need to be able to receive and decode latin1 into utf-8 regardless of what the RFC recommends people send. The fact that it's going to become rarer over time to have the 8th bit set in headers, means you can write a simpler algorithm than what Lemire did that assumes an ASCII average case. https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/755ae64e73ef5ef7d1... That goes 23 GB/s on my machine using just SSE2 (rather than AVX512). However it goes much slower if the text is full of european diacritics. Lemire's algorithm is better at decoding those.

The one time I was at (many years ago) Disney World Florida I was astounded by the lack of any flying insects at lamps etc. at night. What ever Disney did or is doing seems to work but it might be effectively dropping a nuke on any insect life.
Yep. That "solid, not cutting edge" philosophy is one of the main reasons why Debian is my favorite distro.
Yeah and COVID showed how much impact it can make.

Also the part of now-vacant office spaces could be converted to residential, relieving a bit of pressure on the housing market.
I suspect this has horrible numerical stability, especially if n gets large (you’re multiplying the running average by n, then tweaking it a bit, and dividing it by n+1)

On some systems, that multiplication and division also may be slow.

Even if it is stable, I think it’s better to keep track of the running sum and the number of items seen:

sumSoFar += newItem
numSeen += 1

and only do the division when you need the average.

The risk then is overflow for large numbers of items, but that’s no worse than the proposed algorithm. Its running value will not overflow as easily, but the intermediate value of the multiplication can do just as easily.

Yes, it is. I think the bar tends to be a little higher though. Also there are often work exemptions.

It doesn't sound obvious to me. If it was cold out, you would run the engine for heat for instance.

Repair for Everyone – Repair Day 2023
Yeah, I wrote a set of 3D demos for Acorn, to showcase the new RiscPC at Acorn World '94. There was a landscape flyover and a virtual textured talking head. All rendering was done entirely in software of course, using integer maths. I developed a type of Bresenham's Algorithm to trace the hyperbolic curves in texture UV space that translate to scanlines, when one is doing perspective correct texture mapping.

Subsequently I wrote a sample implementation of the Xerox Rooms paradigm for Acorn. It was a 3D office environment, with clickable destinations that would "teleport you" into new spaces. I'm not sure what became of this though tbh.

Next they wanted me to write a version of SGI's GL API for RiscOS, however - for whatever reason that project never really got started, so I had to go and get a proper job! :-(

Cheers
The question is which method is more prone to issues. Perhaps a QA process of sorts could be builtin to the "app store" to at least be able to boot the app without errors? Also I am not saying flatpaks or apt should go away. Just saying that it would be nice to have a realiable way to download a package and run it, no hassle.

On a long road trip last year, we logged all the plates we noticed. That included all 50 states plus Guam, Puerto Rico, federal government, and diplomatic plates. The article missed those not issued by states. What we didn't expect, and what the article also misses, is that we saw several distinct plate designs issued by Native Americans. We saw them in multiple states, but more in Oklahoma than anywhere else.

Sounds somewhat similar to Java combined with an MQ engine, if you turned it into an OS (like the jnode guys did) and made it load code in response to receiving messages on a queue. Not surprising that they ended up doing JVMs as it seems spiritually very similar.

Eh kinda. FOMO is more about things like ‘I didn’t get rich like everyone else did.’.

The boss thing is as often about trying to avoid negative consequences/staying in control of an interaction.

If you’re always available to your boss, it’s harder for them to blame you for something not working (because you weren’t there to walk them through it at 2am).

If you respond to a negative social media post before everyone else reads it, you have a better chance in getting ahead of a shitstorm, etc.

It could be that there was a process of consolidation starting. Soltek was a small player and for years I simply assumed they could not compete with giants like Asus, Gigabyte and MSI, that were taking the hobbyist market. There was also ECS which was big in the OEM market, building boards for HP and the like. It could be they saw it coming that they would not exist in a few years, it might be that sales and profit were already going down. Just assumptions here, someone else might come along to confirm or deny this.

By the way, I bought a Soltek board in 2003 with the then new sata controller. I read the specsheet a bit fast... It said the sata port would do software raid. The pata port would do ata and software raid. Of course this turned out to be true :) Linux crashed too often during busy I/O with regular disks. So I had to buy a separate sata card.
