Congratulation to the project, it seems incredible.

I don't know that much so I have some questions, sorry if they're already answered. (share link if any if its possible)

Do you plan to support as much as possible the Node.js API (99%) or most features and make your own API for lets say Clustering module and such ?

Speaking of Cluster module, do you want to recreate Node.js Cluster module, or do you plan to create your own way for multi-processing using Bun in a more performant way ?

I've seen Deno putting a lot of effort into the platform around their runtime, making deploying Deno app easy, is that your goal too ?

I've seen that you use Zig instead of C++, what do you like the most about Zig while working on Bun ?

In anyway, I hope the project will make the JSRuntime world better, its promising.
If you don't trust bun.sh don't do it. They would be torpedoing their project if they put something nefarious in there though, and it would probably more effective to put the nefarious stuff in bun directly. Yes a 3rd party could have gained access to their site and modified that script, but that's covered under "trust bun.sh".
By having relatively simple queries. You can push 50k queries per second on a 64 CPU Postgres machine.

This is real world experience from a moderately complex application.

> The fallacy in that line of reasoning is that they've never been able to really figure out who their best and brightest were to begin with

It would be nice, but they don't have to actually figure out what's going on. They just have to go bankrupt when all the good performers leave. (Edit: Actually they don't have to go bankrupt outright; it suffices for them to have a worse product that results in worse revenue that results in them not being able to pay for as large as share of the labor market.)

> Eventually the protesters will have to pay rent and buy groceries, so they'll get in line and return to office for another employer

Or, they'll go get a perfectly good job got a company not affected by this madness.
Circumstantially, yes. Nobody has come to hassle HN over directed-legitimate-traffic attacks yet.
No it isn't. You should still have deliverables and those don't really change no matter where you are.
Open source, but requires an API key?
Thank you for this comment - I'm a physical systems engineer working with software engineers and trying to bridge the gap from a "Systems Engineering" perspective - where on the HW side we use Functional (what the system should do) and Allocated specifications (how the system is physically architected). I struggle with that bridge - it's largely a terminology mismatch, which is oddly much more difficult than I expected to overcome. Sometimes finding the right words makes all the difference. I'd never heard the term BDUF before.

I can see that there's a belief that the BDUF approach implies the design must be perfected before starting to code. I like a healthy concept sketch to use as a roadmap, and evolving accompanying documentation along the way. I use MBSE tools. I certainly would never say a system design is perfected nor are all requirements ever set in stone (under config control - yes, immutable - no). This helps me see where push back is coming from of the SW Dev side.
Two interesting takeaways from the paper itself[1]: Chinese companies and universities appear to make extensive use of PyPI mirrors (references 23-26), and those mirrors consistently fail to purge malicious packages in a timely manner.

I always said git is very nice and understandable after your read thru git book three or four times.

Which is to say everything in it makes intuitive sense if you know exactly how it works which is fine for developers, not exactly great for normal user that just wants to have some version control writing his novel.

But I think tooling got to the point where that is no longer the problem.
Has time inflated as well like the Turkish currency? These numbers are stupid and make the courts look like a bunch of children.

One major downside not mentioned is that corruption at scale becomes easier. If you’re looking to influence political policy for the entire Bay Area, it’s easier, cheaper, and more likely to succeed if you only have one set of politicians to negotiate with.

I feel like all the problems mentioned have better solutions.

For the “single purchaser” efficiency argument, I would instead like to see collective bargaining agreements where the cities agree to participate and be bound to the agreement. That way it doesn’t even need to be limited to neighbors.

For things like managing transit, I think a regional transit authority needs to be established by the state that works with cities within some framework but cities have no power to otherwise interfere.

Housing is being solved through state level legislation that’s forcing cities to build a realistic plan for increasing residential capacity or lose zoning privileges alltogether.
I think it's an issue with a microservice setup. TFA suggests ~300 connections being optimal for Postgres and I've seen microservice setups which have more than 300 processes, which means even limiting each process to a single DB connection might not be enough.

But yeah, for less distributed applications, just have N worker threads and don't close the DB connection after each job.

iPhone 7, that's as far as it'll update. I understand the difficulty in porting things and adding features, but I don't think there's an exemption in the law for when complying is too difficult yet still possible.

Main thing that got me wondering about this was "app store" being listed seperately from iOS in the EU supplied image.

Isn't it incredible that if we all stopped eating beef then this would have a larger impact on global warming than if we rolled back to a preindustrial age and got rid of trains, airplanes, automobiles, and the construction industry?
Imo It’s easier to pretend to work at the office. Just walk around and chat with coworkers or play ping pong. Unlike remote workers, these workers tend to not be on call all the time.

Both sides of the argument are simultaneously flawed though because we don’t account for one thing: most people work in a mass surveillance environment since everything is connected to the cloud. We know who submitted what, when, and from where. Not to mention telemetry will get better and better. It doesn’t really matter if you work remotely or in office.

Also most sane places have hybrid schedules. I suspect the companies that are forcing RTO are really looking to do a soft layoff.
I have gone back to a previous employer once. Got separated/divorced shortly after changing jobs so just needed to go back to a place where I already had a support structure built.

At any rate, you're not just burning bridges with companies, you're burning bridges with people. Your team mates are the ones who get royally fucked over when you leave with no noticee and (therefore) no handover. They're also the ones who have the choice to invite you along for the ride when they land roles in cool new companies, or to block you if/when you apply to those companies.

Agreed -- and it's absurd that BitKeeper's enormous influence here has been reduced to two sentences in the article. Not to take anything away from Torvalds and git, but McVoy and BK (and TeamWare and NSE/NSElite before it) are the real pioneers here. I got a bit into this deeper history in a USENIX talk in 2011[0] -- but I would welcome a more thorough treatment!

Not necessarily, there are plenty of examples where earlier success did not lead to future success. A recent example that comes to mind is CloudKitchens? I could be wrong about CK, so happy to learn differently.
If you don't mind sharing, what are some of the issues you've had with Bun so far?
I think we can all agree that the blog article, while interesting and tells a story about the way the author solved a problem, does not have high enough rigor to serve as a benchmark for "don't do this, do this instead", or "this language is bad at this, and this one is better". Those types of statements would require much more rigor and A vs B comparisons where code A and code B are the same, just in different languages.

BUT, what I am interested in - if I'm using javascript to parse a large file line by line, plucking off specific fields like the example does, what can I try to see if it's more GC-friendly? Obviously the answer is always some flavor of "profile it" and "it depends". If the blog author could have gotten a big boost in performance by adding 10 lines of js code to their loop, that is something all readers of the article could benefit from.

I will play around with it and see what I can learn about the V8 GC. For reference: here is a talk about profiling the ruby gc, which helped me fix a memory leak at work (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZcqyuPeDao).
The difference is that there’s no evidence that he did anything out of the ordinary at Flexport.

In the Nokia scenario, however, Elop published a memo which destroyed Nokia’s declining but still substantial business overnight (that memo alone probably cost Nokia hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars in revenue…revenue they simply could not afford to lose), torpedoed the in-house effort Nokia had been working on and had ready to go, and worst of all, when choosing the external platform to depend on instead, chose the one that was not even close to being the market leader, did not allow Nokia anywhere near the same level of control or customization as the market leader, provided Nokia no input on the future of Windows Phone, and as a result predictably made Nokia phones almost exactly the same as rhe no name Chinese phones that were the only other phone makers using Windows Phone.

In Nokia’s case the simplest explanation for all these actions was a conspiracy. There’s no good way to explain Elop’s actions otherwise without doubting his mental acuity.
There are caveats, however. Making exceptions for employees can raise alarms in HR compliance. If an employee in a protected class has asked for the same, but perhaps cannot be granted the same terms, it could create liability.

Larger companies really, really don't like having terms vary across their non-executive level employees. And, arguably, for good reason.
Just to clarify, you were learning Rust while employed, working on a Rust project, with others on your team who were already familiar with the language?

In that scenario I have never seen onboarding to the language be a problem.
I don't think it's "corporate culture" as much as "large org power games" as I've seen the very same thing happen in academia and administration at large schools.

CEOs will literally waste millions of dollars by losing half their staff rather than recognize a union.

Let's not pretend this is some smart stealth merit-based layoff play by the CEO: the people leaving are likely the ones with options, and many of them have been working remote for years now. They are unwilling to relocate their entire lives for Grindr. The RTO announcement came out soon after announcement of the union drive.
The article is about Apple because Apple is the one billing itself as the vanguard of privacy and as the privacy-preserving opponent of Android. It's also quite possible the author doesn't have or use an Android device. If you've invested in a platform for reasons related to privacy, I think it's quite okay to be concerned when that platform falls short on some pretty big privacy invasions.

Software is speech (ie protected expression), like writing books.

A getaway driver is involved after the crime is committed. To assign the same level of culpability to a tool-maker would imply that they have the ability to predict the future.

A better example would be a car or firearm manufacturer. How the tool is used is up to the user.

I think it's people building tool-using agent applications.

We've been collaborating with several amazing teams over the past few months, who have been pushing Rivet in various ways. We used it for a chat interface at Ironclad, but we've seen companies like Bento and Willow integrate it with different UX paradigms.

The commonality seems to be that we are all integrating LLMs into an application, and want the LLM to somehow interact with that application (set up search filters, build a guide based on documentation).
Fair warning. But wasn't Waterfox sold to System1 - "an advertising company that tries to "make advertising better and safer, while respecting consumer privacy" - https://www.ghacks.net/2020/02/14/waterfox-web-browser-sold-... ?

The consumer GPU margins aren't even close to what Nvidia rakes in on an H100 sale.

Rarely does Nvidia sell a GPU for 2000 dollars or more, and when they do its relatively low volume.

An H100 sells for tens of thousands of dollars and is sold out to 2024 - companies are literally fighting over them - I can absolutely see conditions might arise Nvidia might want to use some fab capacity for their much more profitable H100 parts vs consumer GPUs.
Well - I don't bet mate. I've seen too many people ruin themselves doing it. I really suggest that you think very carefully about making bets at those odds as well as it often (about 9 times out of 10?) ends badly. Unless you have asymmetric information access of course.
I agree. Apple has always had an advertising business, remember apps with ad banners in the early IOS store?

However the fundamental difference is that their model is being an hardware company.

Both sides of the RTO dispute are missing one thing: most people work in a mass surveillance environment. We know who submitted what, when, and from where. Not to mention telemetry will get better and better with improving AI. It doesn’t really matter if you work remotely or in office. (I guess for now chatting with coworkers and playing ping pong in the office isn’t tracked yet.) Both have pros and cons which is why most sane places have hybrid schedules to get the benefit of both and limit the cons of both work styles. I suspect the companies that are forcing RTO are really looking to do a soft layoff. What it tells me is that the company is facing financial difficulties.
I'm seeing an extra amount of wasps this year, must be a good season for them.

I've killed about 10 nests so far this year. The newest batch of them spread out on the back patio window. They're building a nest, but most of them chill on the window and wall very distributed like.

I've nearly given up and just walk past them now, never gotten stung, they just move out of the way.

Funny enough, yellow jackets like the front of the house, red wasps like the back. Yellow jackets are much meaner in my experience. Lots more of them per nest too.

I believe that retrieval-augmented generation is the right path to generative AI within organizations, at least for the next few years. Trying to directly fine-tune an LLM on your data also runs into issues with enforcing access permissions.

However, instead of simply being a post-processing step at the end of an IR pipeline, LLMs will eventually sandwhich the IR system, along the lines of the [Demonstrate, Search, Predict framework](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.14024) by Khattab et al.
