I would argue that the cost is less in setting up than in running and maintaining a site at the scale of Recreation.gov. That includes aspects of customer support.

Many of these agencies are forced into uncompetitive compensation structures which means contracting out most, if not all, of their technical work.

A major part of the issue is the government contracting system. In an attempt at fairness, it has massive amounts of oversight burden. That is, in turn, a barrier to additional competition for the work.

Well, the simple approach is to use backtracking. From there you can dive into back jumping, constraint learning and DPLL.

Now, implementing that is surely full of tricks too, which you may also find interesting, but is probably not discussed too much.
I like listening to a white or brown noise track when in a loud environment, whether at home or at work. Music can be nice, but for me is usually distracting, and also doesn’t mask other sound sources. I’m a fan and paying user of mynoise.net - it has a bunch of great noise-masking tracks like rain storms and white noise and “audio jammer”. (https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/stormSoundGenerator.php https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/whiteNoiseGenerator.php https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/audioJammerNoiseGenerator....) You can find a lot of tracks like this for free on YouTube and Spotify and other places too…
Awesome game! I really like the music.

They deleted all the comments regarding the bounty. So "for some reason" seems to be as stated in the issue tracker:

> [The Zig issue tracker] is only, exclusively, and for no other purpose than for working on the Zig compiler and related tools.

I get you're both personally vested in this and personally slighted by their decisions, but claiming you don't know why that comment was deleted is just stirring shit where there's none to be stirred.

Yes, yes, yes!

The luddites were not antimachine. All they wanted was a piece of the progress for themselves. Imagine if, instead of throwing obsolete workers out on their asses we paid them a portion of the profits of their layoff.
I get what you're saying about 10 lines of well-tested vs 10,000 lines of crud, but this hyperbole is also a false dichotomy.

GPT-4 and Copilot absolutly makes me more productive as a programmer, wiring all the tests, getting maybe 80% of them right and then I fix them up. I am not producing 10,000 lines of crud, but I AM producing 1000 lines of test-covered code, I'm doing the hard bits, and the AIs are doing the menial parts.

I am by far the most productive programmer on the team however you measure it (we have about 60 different metrics available to management) and a large part of this is be having enough energy to always be attacking the hard problems, because I am not wasting mind power and time writing the trivial bits that can be automated.

Does it get it right every time? Nope. Does it make hilariously wrong mistakes? Yep, about once or twice a day! Is it worth it? Absolutly.

That's a good point. Maybe it is not needed. I'm thinking maybe in the future there could be a use-case to allow also others to connect to the app running on my PC.

Basically it is a content-creation app. You use it to develop content you want to later publish and which you can develop and QA on your PC. But when used in an team-setting there might be a use-case for the QA-group to easily see the latest version of the content, even though they would not be allowed to edit it.

I'm also thinking maybe some organizations might have a rule that only https: can be used.
That’s life moving about outside your threshold, embrace it a bit. When it’s too much, put on white noise, if that doesn’t work move into noise cancelling headphones. My family bought me a set for Father’s Day 10 years ago or so and I haven’t looked back. Good for phone calls as well.

I wish you all the best in your WFH journey. I have been doing it since 2006, it’s a “what works for you” kind of problem.
It's incredibly complicated and every type of tissue has it's own specific mechanisms for forming it's 3D structure but the short answer is that there is an "extracellular matrix" that forms a network of macromolecules using collagen, elastin, fibronectin, and a bunch more signaling and structural proteins that organize cell growth.

The ECM starts developing in the fetus and figuring out how it grows from a few cells into a bunch of differentiated organs, muscles, bone, etc. is a core problem in embryology (biology in general, really). If we knew enough to make proper meat, we'd probably be steps away from a Jurassic park scenario.
This is very interesting work, but it's not really a LLM. It doesn't have language abilities. They should have called it a seq2seq model, but I think that term is not in vogue these days :)

In many cases, yes. You'll often find the actual conspiracy that turned out to be true only had a tangential relation to (and few if any specific details in common with) what conspiracy theorists were talking about. Although the conspiracy theorists will always take credit for "being right all along."

And invariably, the actual conspiracy gets revealed by parties other than conspiracy theorists themselves, because the conspiracy theorists don't actually have insider knowledge, they're just doing the strings and thumbtacks thing and making guesses.
I think many companies are taking away any sort of self-determination by design.

> Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was quoted as saying, “Our role is to protect the integrity of that conversation and do what we can to make sure that no one is being harmed based off that.” No. Twitter’s role is to provide the town square where people meet and dialog; it is not to limit what people can say — or hear — in that town square.

Interesting, I think Twitter/X's role is whatever they say it is, they're a non-governmental commercial entity.

And from someone who, having worked so visibly for the most anticompetitive and monopolistic versions of Microsoft, should know that the role of a company is to do what makes money, not what makes everybody happy.

The fact that the US even has a booking system and restricted access to national parks is indicative of a larger issue, that issue likely being that the number of national parks you have is far too low, and that they are too distant from where people live. If you fixed these issues (which at this point would be politically difficult since it would likely require land reclamations, but not impossible), you might not have to restrict access to national parks.

I, for instance, live in the Helsinki region in Finland, which is a metropolitan area tightly nestled between two modest national parks, both within a reasonable distance by public transport, and both of which I can simply stroll into without any such restrictions or bureocracy. The US could, if there was willingness for it, strive to offer similar opportunities near its major cities. It's simply a matter of willingness.

The other issue is probably that some of your national parks are so iconic (e.g. yosemite) that they'd probably have too much demand even if the country was filled to the brim with alternatives, but you probably can't do much about that issue.

It is perfectly fine to diagnose the pathology that led to this outcome. It is not ok for people to excuse it because “the website works fine for me!” Government agencies need an interface to communicate with taxpayers and “customers” in order to exist. In the 1960s that meant paper mail and customer service agents, and most government agencies were reasonably competent (if sluggish) at handling those technologies. In 2023 and beyond it means smoothly-working websites, and governments have decided to treat these as a weird, expensive mystery technology - long past the point where industry has made website design into something routine. The days when governments could budget $5 to agencies for tech development and/or expect them to spend 50x standard industry prices on broken government contractors are long behind us. And there is no room for this kind of predatory outsourcing. We need to demand a lot better.
My favourite part about this is you only need to subvert one guy and then you have a long term ongoing revenue program. The government is powerless in front of you. See Chicago parking for another example.

One day I hope to do government contracting once I have a network. Generational wealth in a repeating fashion.
What you're describing has nothing to do with WFH and everything to do with where you've chosen to live.

I experienced all of your complaints (and then some) at the CoreOS office when we were @ The Mission district in SF. It sounded like the city was burning down every other day with how often we had fire trucks blaring past the windows. The chaos outside combined with our "open office" packing us in like sardines made for my least productive workplace experience ever.

My way of dealing with it was working from unpopular cafes on the coast overlooking the Pacific, or just working from home most of the week which was a dead silent cabin residing practically within Butano State Park.
It is! I can tell that my interpretation is annoying to you though so I will leave you alone with a question. Who then eats the fungus? And who eats that?
The original poster should think that it is much less distracting than colleagues engaged in meaningless banter and gossip through the whole day , around your cube when you are in office. Very annoying .
There's a set of ports allocated for http by the standards. The app will choose to use the first one available, starting with 80. If all such ports are in use then tell the user sorry all ports are already in use. Please stop some apps already running on your PC which may be using these ports.
Move to the suburbs. You still get those noises to an extent, but overall it's much quieter.

Turning a critical peice of internet infrastructure into a financial toy for wall st would be a bit akin to taking all the physical barriers to access off of the nuclear football, authenticating it, and leaving it in a room full of bored children.

Don't do that.
I find that playing some white noise on headphones can really help. On youtube there are many videos such as 10 hours of rain on a pond. I've been bothered by my coworkers typing, I find that the patter of rain and clatter of keyboard blend together to the point where I mostly don't notice. This also works for getting more restful sleep - I have a fan on or sometimes play the rain on a pond as background noise.

> Generative AI is quite bad a doing math and I would not believe the results it "guesses".

Generally speaking, it's true. AI is quite bad at arithmetic. But as AI started learning to use tools things can be different. Haven't really looked into this but I think ChatGPT with WolframAlpha plugin (https://www.wolfram.com/wolfram-plugin-chatgpt/) can be helpful.

People won't use generative models when they already have a clear plan about what they're about to calculate - they'll use a calculator. When employing generative models, we're more like asking the AI for some insights on "how to compute" or "what to compute". Automatically performing these calculations and obtaining the result is more like a bonus.

> Mathematica and wolfram are in a different pricing tier, so hissab is like a poor man's mathematica.

Agreed. Looking forward to exciting features!
What’s wrong with login.gov? I only used it to handle my Global Entry application process but it sure felt like a good SSO solution.
> $6 isn't a lot relative to the cost of even driving to a national park for most people. comparing it to a $50 bag check or $100 in ticketmaster crap is disingenuous in the extreme.

True: in one case we're overpaying for a service, in the other case, we're paying rent to someone else for something we own.

What exactly is the amount of rent to use land that we own would be unacceptable to you?

No. The problem is the CEO. The buck stops with him. When you are at the top making millions, a major strategic failure is always your responsibility.

I live in the middle of a large city, in an old building, and don't really have noise issues. However, if I did I'd sound-proof my office. The noise insulation works both ways.
Combine the following :
- overear earmuffs (I recommend 3m peltor x3 for human voice frequency reduction)
- foam earplugs
- background noise (smooth brown noise is my favorite)
The most you can accomplish on a PS1 with CD streaming is, roughly, a Crash Bandicoot level[0]. Texture data is relatively bandwidth-heavy - and a single speed drive can only manage 150 Kb/s. So the optimal use case for "showing as much graphical data as possible per second of gameplay" biases towards using load-once textures, then streaming in more geometry with a camera designed to only go forwards: then everything matches the linear access patterns of the CD.

C'mon, be serious and name an actual "total communism" entity, please.

You haven’t presented any evidence that guns are a major factor after adjusting for social factors. The US also has the highest rates of fatherless households in the world, while India has one of the lowest. Maybe that’s the reason for the difference in homicide rates.

Charging for IPv4 is mostly going to affect hosting providers. Until recently, AWS users were charged nothing for public IP so there was no incentive to conserve.

The price for IP for connections is already builtin to the price. Also, ISPs just use CGNAT to share IPs with multiple customers when they are short, It makes sense to charge more for static IP.

How long ago did you do try IPv6? These days it should just work. If your router doesn’t work, get a better router since it is broken.

I wouldn't characterize the Disk II controller as "cutting corners" (a term which connotes shoddy design/construction or reduced quality) but instead as using clever tricks to do more with less. By most accounts it did the job at least as well as the contemporary standard. For one thing, Wozniak's design was able to pack the sectors tighter than the standard radial configuration[0], resulting in a slight increase in disk capacity compared to the standard formatting.

The lasting legacy of the Apple II has been much more "No-one has colour graphics like this" than "peculiar"... though the machine was designed around multiples of TV signal clocks which made future upgrades challenging. They were able to push the platform surprisingly far with the IIGS.

It can—just start a company and run it that way. There’s nothing magical about this, and acting like there is disempowers you in the long run.
True, but impact depends on both total core count you're using in the process and what you're doing with Arc. I'm imagining Arc<RequestState> with low concurrency on each RequestState so impact of cache line bouncing should be negligible.

If you're talking about Arc<GlobalStuff>, I'd probably use Box::leak instead. There's also a few crates that do epoch gc. I haven't really written super high request rate multicore stuff in Rust, but I have in C++, and there for global-ish occasionally updated config stuff, I used a epoch gc implementation on top of Linux rseq to totally eliminate the effect you're describing.
Now you've just alienated two groups: environmentalists that realize cars are bad for the environment, and car people that are interested in driving their own unique vehicles. The former you were never going to get, but the latter could concievably have been on your side about getting bad drivers from behind the wheel.

You've gone from "People won't have to drive", to "People cannot drive". And the latter will likely play poorly in rural areas.
This interpretation really doesn't seem very realistic. The government can't create more grand canyons or mountain ranges, at least not without raising taxes a few percentage points.

The issue isn't that there are few parks for people to visit, the issue is that these parks are unique and highly popular. There are thousands of parks in the United States, there just aren't thousands of grand canyons, thermal geysers, or mountain ranges.
HyperCard was everywhere on the Mac in the late 1980s. It was so much more accessible than most anything comparable on the PC. Its short life was due to other better database choices coming out — such as FileMaker or 4D — and, of course, the advent of the World Wide Web, which was, at that time, a collection of HTML pages and CGI scripts often written in perl.
I’m a biochemist and software engineer, and FWIW I agree with you. This article, in its current form, is nonsense.
I wonder if this is something web assembly can help with. I suppose it comes down to, what’s the most lean abstraction to wrap your code that can guarantee “write once run anywhere”. Docker is supposed to solve this problem, but running multiple containers can be daunting and resource heavy.

On a side note, this last year I had the displeasure of developing on an existing all serverless ETL system with 30+ lambdas all hooked together in confusing ways. Debugging was a nightmare. In the future I will try to avoid any project that requires me to dev in a non-local environment, unless there’s a platform team that’s producing tools to improve the developer experience .

It’s a pretty good website, but considering it’s replaced full-time humans arranging your reservations by hand for a fee of $0, I’m not seeing the fees as reasonable.

It feels a lot like economic rent, with Booz Allen positioning themselves between you and your land. You pay their fee not because the user experience was great, but because it’s the only way to camp at your favorite park.
My open-floorplan office has these cubes that are larger than phone booths, and quiet meeting rooms. I wouldn’t be surprised if occupancy of those is related to higher productivity, but each costs at least $3500.
One thing you should understand about the biggest Government IT contractors is that they put one of their few 'A' teams (really a 'B' team by big tech standards) on the project during the sales process, then swap out to one of their many 'D' teams after the win dinner.

Many of the people actually implementing the project wouldn't last long in the private sector and that's why you end up with results ranging from disappointing to epic disaster though bureaucrats inside the Government often do their part to make things worse.

It seems that by giving a significant take of each transaction to the contractor they were incentivized to actually do good work. This might be a feature instead of a bug except for how gross it is when dealing with public resources.

There are exceptions to this but they tend to be smaller companies working on smaller projects or subcontracting to the big guys, where performance on the contract is important to future wins.
