This is not true. We would have to define "practical use" but if you are looking at most used typefaces - things people see in around them the most it is dominated by commercial typefaces. It will be Helveticas, Arials, Times New Romans of the world. What people use in Word and Windows - all proprietary typefaces. Anything Apple - proprietary. Anything branded - brands usually typeface and that typeface is going to be proprietary - even on web.

Only platform that uses open-source typeface is Android with roboto/noto. If you are looking at webapps not marketing sites then yes you might get lot of Inter but trend is moving towards using system-ui font stack which is proprietary (except linux/android).

So no open-source typefaces are definitely not most used in practical use. Btw majority of the super popular ones are owned by Monotype the company this article is about.
Just have boolean operators and a little tooltip how to write them. Abstraction here isn’t needed. You have to learn the ux anyhow, may as well have the users learn boolean operators so you don’t have to bother with a ux that might end up not being that optimal in the end.
Haven't tried it for several years. I really liked it, but it simply wouldnt play some of my videos and the sound wasn't always in sync. Plex just worked.
But its not two "completely separate ways"? Your data management code is not completely different at all. If you want to, do it all in your API and next.js just calls through to it. And then call fetch in your components to the same API you would in a normal client app. The only difference is now those fetch calls happen on a server in RSC's or w/e rather than from the client directly.

I'm honestly not even arguing for the hype since I don't use Next.js myself for any production projects at this time, I was simply pointing out that its not as if choosing to use it automatically means you can't use an API which is what the grandparent makes it seem like with their rant about still needing an API.

There are some teams that truly do want a server rendered app that Next.js provides as well as other features. They can use it for that if they so choose.

I'm honestly not even arguing RSC's are better or not because I know there are tradeoffs on both ends and we don't use them ourselves at where I work. Like I said, I was just poiting out it isn't a simple one or the other.

There are plenty of teams out there that use a backend for frontend architecture that basically is a data transformation layer for their API to clients. For your web stack that could be next.js.
I think once a privilege has been given (to employees) it's impossible to take it away without a fight. Suddenly something that was a non-issue became a life or death matter. So you're right, now people would expect to be paid extra for working in the office, even if they did that for free two years ago.
I was a nuclear operator for 6 years and I've been managing 140MWs since, I've spent almost a decade looking at the cost/benefit of solar, EVs, battery tech, I've looked at where the minerals are mined and how, I've looked at where and how they are processed, how the real cost stacks up against what the consumer sees. I'm not going to go digging for sources because I've seen enough of it for my own purposes. They give a marginal benefit, if they are operated in the long term they are in the green, if they are operated in the short you are in the red. The government should not be providing incentives but I'll happily capitalize on them, I've had 4 EVs and I'm waiting on permits for my solar; these techs could compete at some level with ICE today without the incentives, but they wouldn't won outright, they will likely never compete with nuclear.

> But... can you do it at 1Gbps on a single core of a Raspberry Pi?

Probably not, but if you've only got a single Raspberry PI core at your disposal and you're trying to pump 1000 Mbps of network traffic through said Raspberry PI, you've already got significant challenges.

> 62 messages per second means that you have 16ms to do 5 things: decrypt the TLS, parse the protobuf message, filter the message, encode the protobuf message, encrypt the TLS traffic. If you take more than 16ms, you cannot achieve 1Gbps.

Let's just say you have a system that can do all that in 16ms. I would estimate significantly less than 1ms of that time would be spent parsing and encoding the protobuf message.
As long as you like having terribly restrictive threads....
Yep, I forgot to mention bad design as a distinct possibility. Heck, could be all three!

Like it or not, the SEC regulates the financial markets. That is a primary reason why people trust them with their money. "Who are you to say people should not focus on what they want?" is fairly dumb. This isn't like stamp collecting.

The SEC can quite legitimately rule that:

1) Traders competing to make better trades: serves a purpose.

2) Traders competing to make the same trades, but a microsecond faster: serves no purpose at all.

You can’t state it’s at the expense without stating how.
That’s not the rule I want browsers to follow. I want the browser to act as my agent, following my preferences in all things. I set a minimum font size, I control which fonts pages may use, I control when they may run scripts, when they may have videos or sound, what form controls (buttons, text inputs, etc) look like, when they may load content from third–party domains, etc, etc.

Web application developers should not complain when a web browser changes the look or feel of their application, even if the browser makes super weird choices like putting rounded corners on the viewport. If the user doesn’t like it they’ll tell the browser vender. The web designer doesn’t get a vote.
I used to play online games at an hour when a lot of Japanese players were online, I asked my sister who was studying Japanese for some phrases to say and this was one of them. Now I know where she got it from! I also used this phrase when I was visiting Australia and met two Japanese guys at a bar, they thought it was hilarious.

I read the article as a general philosophy to spend more time on the product instead of premature scaling optimization. If e2e testing + ci/cd is cheap/easy and helps in your situation, then that's what you should do.

I feel the author is more criticizing the CTO who prematurely decides to rewrite the infra to handle scaling to millions of concurrent customers before they have those customers.
The last one I worked at was like this, due to its founder being 19yo and extremely inexperienced.

Raised 6M, no customers, no revenue, no product, a buggy, non-functional MVP.

19yo founder was terrified to relinquish control to senior devs because he was scared they would implement something he wouldn’t understand, so the company sat there burning cash making tiny incremental improvements and flip flopping on priorities as the new-shiny whims of the founder changed every few days.

I have no idea how he raised 6M, I think it was a combination of lies and FOMO from latter investors.

I tried my best to guide him and give advice but his ego was out of control (but only backed by mediocre skill set) so I had to leave when I realised I couldn’t help anymore

I have seen enough amazing sleight of hand and trickery that I just always assume there's something I'm not seeing. One would be hard pressed to prove to me alone that they are eating real broken proper glass.

If,say, Penn & Teller were in the room with me witnessing the effect yp close and said "actually I think that's legit" then, maybe. I'd give it some benefit of doubt. But I've learned my humility when it comes to limits of my observational capabilities and knowledge of magic tricks / what to look for.

So why I 100% believe that's what you saw, I approximately 0% believe that's what happened :-/

(that being said, if they chewed it very very very well, then..
Maybe? But basically I'd need external verification for anything that's susceptible to sleight of hand and other trickery, especially street performances where I know I'm massively out gunned :-)
> I would estimate significantly less than 1ms of that time would be spent parsing and encoding the protobuf message.

It would just be nice to see a representative benchmark on a Raspberry Pi 4.

I generally agree with you on that point, but I don't consider anything a "given" on something as weak as a Pi.
You will own nothing and be happy implies that the elite will own everything. In my version of this no one owns anything, them included. Losing interest in objects is a good thing - it means the end of consumerism. There is no cost of anything when there is no ownership.

There is a geopolitics angle to this. US has been making noise about upcoming election in Bangladesh being "free and fair". US has even announced some visa policy to promote "democratic elections" in Bangladesh. US has been pursuing a military base in Bangladesh. The current government has been resisting the pressure. According to a report, India has conveyed to US its concerns about what it perceives as US interference in Bangladesh elections.

I forgot that Ford and IBM were 100+ years old. Huh, guess I can bring the list of companies I use that were around 100 years or more up to about 5 or 6 now.

And yeah things were very different back then, and will be in future too. I don't personally think we're ever going to be in a situation where no human written software will exist though. Human creativity and the ability to do things better don't seem to have too much in common (people still paint despite photography existing, plays are still performed despite film and television and people still work on games and software for systems released in the 80s and 90s simply because they can). But it may be niche at least.

What would be the negative consequences from a more equal playing field?
For years I fell asleep thinking about some math problem I was working on. Worked wonders, never had any issues falling asleep.

Then I left academia, and were no longer thinking about math all day. An unforeseen consequence: I started having issues falling asleep.

Now I need to regularly look up puzzles or maybe challenging programming problems, just to have something relaxing to fill my mind while falling asleep.

That, as a writer of science fiction, she can't imagine AIs will ever turn out anything more than a "mediocre" work of fiction.

The game AI naysayers like to play is that anything not made by a human is inherently mediocre, because value is largely subjective, and they implicitly define away the possibility of a great AI creator because knowing it was made by AI ruins it for them.

The same narrative existed for go, even the fall and winter before the Alphago–Lee Sedol match. The AI beat Fan Hui, but was still mediocre and would never challenge top professionals for the foreseeable future. There would be inherent limits an AI would run up against because it lacked some quality necessary to be a top-level competitor (or artist).
in the same timeframe, there was a bug in the DEC VT-100 terminal (maybe related to autorepeat?) where hitting the right key combinations would put it into a mode where pressing keys would play an incomplete variety of low notes, but sufficient for Ride of the Valkyries
Amazon was barely a blip when Cyber Monday first came out, let alone the inventors of the term.

> The term "Cyber Monday" was coined by Ellen Davis, and was first used within the ecommerce community during the 2005 holiday season. According to Scott Silverman, the head of Shop.org, the term was coined based on 2004 research showing "one of the biggest online shopping days of the year" was the Monday after Thanksgiving (12th-biggest day historically). Retailers also noted the most significant shopping period was December 5 through 15 of the previous year. In late November 2005, The New York Times reported: "The name Cyber Monday grew out of the observation that millions of otherwise productive working Americans, fresh off a Thanksgiving weekend of window shopping, were returning to high-speed Internet connections at work Monday and buying what they liked." At the time, a lot of people had slow Internet at home. The idea for having such a holiday was created by Tony Valado, in 2003 while working at 1800Flowers.com, and coined "White Wednesday" to be the day before Thanksgiving for online retailers.

The software also lost its focus. When they first launched I thought it was a straightforward idea, and sensible for many use cases - an OS with a single purpose: launch Google Chrome. Easy enough to implement with Linux and a "kiosk" single-window manager, and then there's very little else needed except an interface to configure wifi. No other programs, no user-accessible filesystem. The perfect fungible, stateless thin-client for the web age

Then they decided to try and ape a "real" OS, with stacking windows and utility programs. I'm confused why they didn't just fully switch to Android at that point, rather than make another Linux-but-not-Linux. I guess this is Google we're talking about. They probably couldn't work out which of the six in-house comms platforms to contact the Android team on
That's my (naive) understanding of front-running. But I'm not familiar with the argument that HFT facilitates it.

The best argument is that HFT serves no legitimate purpose, and is just a pointless arms race. Money should flow to better trades, not faster ones.
That'll make everything more expensive, as every trade now has to price in the risk that it won't actually happen.

Increasing market friction is not a good idea.
Re: An update about our Squatting Domains (formerly “Lifetime domains”)

DNS is really easy to redirect (at the firewall level) since it goes over UDP. The growing problem is DNS over HTTPS, which uses certificates and tcp and is much harder to redirect (without setting up a MITM and distributing the CA to all devices). Fortunately just blocking the DoH domains at the DNS level works, but unlike the global udp port 53 redirect, it’s a cat-and-mouse game.

Beyond the reputational harm to the Rust community, he actively engaged in attention-seeking behavior, something that is against the Rust Code of Conduct. (He's far too intelligent to not know that it was attention-seeking behavior.)
Before I checked HN today, I was thinking: There are 2 kinds of people in the world today.

The first class is constantly rent seeking. They want to be in charge and want something for nothing. They do not care if the person they are contracting with looses on the deal, in fact they prefer it that way. This class is mostly MBAs and welfare recipients. High frequency traders fall into this category.

The second class is people who want to work and only ask for a fair deal. They strive to increase the size of the pie for everyone.

Our situation today is very similar to Germany's Weimar republic, where an elite class that knew how to manipulate the workers could take advantage of a predictable economic collapse and predictable hyper-inflation to gain power.

I hope our correction does not follow the NAZI German example.

We could go that way. Many of the working class realize that if someone plays negative-sum-games at work, society is better off putting them in a labor cap and teaching them to do manual labor.

I suggest that US federal law should require that workers compensation be linked to how much they increase the well-being of the human race. Leave a loophole that says you are exempt if you work for yourself. The rent seekers will be so busy squabbling over pennies and clauses in contracts that they will have little time left to screw the rest of us.
> I’ve found something similar: to fall asleep visualise something vividly. It could be a scenario (a daydream as you suggest) or a scene.

This method also has the advantage for those of us who can't normally visualise while awake. When you are on the boundary of sleep you can somehow take advantage of your dream circuits to help you out. This is the only time of day I'm able to see anything but black when closing my eyes.

> Edge is breaking this cardinal rule: Browser chrome belongs to the browser, but the content area belongs to the application alone.

It's funny, for me this is not at all what the web is about. I see CSS styles as at best a suggestion for how the website would like to be rendered, but the browser is fundamentally a user agent that can render stuff however the user likes. If you don't like how Edge renders things, you can always switch to a different browser or change the settings.

Web applications should be designed with this in mind: control of the client experience is in the hands of the user or the user's agent. When a web application is designed this way, it is natively the most accessible kind of app that can exist, usable with a screen reader, terminal GUI, mobile, desktop, or even a scriptable web driver. In contrast, web apps that obsess over having minute control over every detail of the presentation tend to be clunky, nonresponsive and inaccessible.

In my mind, the more heterogeneous web browsers are, the more web applications are forced to handle for different configurations, and the better the ecosystem will be overall. For once I think Microsoft is doing something web-related that I actually approve of.
