This hints at a false dichotomy. One that especially Ruby and Rails keep afloat.

Productivity and Scalability(in performance sense) aren't opposites.

Take Bash. Performs bad and is a guarantee for terrible productivity in a large category of software. But perfect for a niche. Take Java. Performs better than many, and allows for good productivity (if you avoid the enterprise architectures, but that goes for any language).
Or take Rust. Productivity much higher than most C/C++ and in my case higher than with Ruby/Rails, and also much more performant.
Everything is carbon neutral on a long enough scale. Unless you send that carbon out to space.

That's already more or less a solved problem with consumer drones: outside a catastrophic mechanical failure like a wing shattering or the motherboars spontaneously dying, the failure state is that the drone either returns to its starting location using GPS, or hovers and waits for manual control until its battery is almost out and then slowly descends while beeping loudly.
Amazon holds onto funds for at least 30 days. You can't bait and switch that fast.
My take is that autonomous cars will help parking and perhaps reduce the need for taxis, though that won't help traffic, indeed.

For instance, if my car can drive itself then I no longer need to park it near where I'm going and I no longer need a taxi to drive me to airport/station.

Regarding drone deliveries, the locations where it can be done safely is limited and there may be further legal restrictions if they cause a nuisance. We also need to see the cost, I doubt it will be worthwhile to order one-off small things often.

I like magazine ads, such as ads for computers/software/accessories in computer magazines, ads for games in game magazines, or ads for guitars/amps/effects/etc. in guitar magazines.

But I hate web ads - for some reason they are universally terrible.

What I wonder is, wouldn't the signal would have to travel back and fort, i.e. about 1000 Miles, so the sender can receive the 200 OK signal?
There is no need to think, you can go read it. There was no indication that it was any help against severe disease, hospitalization, or death. The touted 95% was indeed against some definition of “symptomatic Covid” (a subjective one). In the all cause mortality section, there were more deaths in the vaccine arm than in the placebo arm. (But that was not statistically significant). At any time before 2020, the study would have been laughed at. But scientific standards were thrown out the door in 2020, and have not yet returned. (And … as it turns out from this and similar studies e.g. Ioannidis’ seminal paper showing most research is wrong from 2005 - it wasn’t as good as most people thought in 2020 already)
Those requirements would definitely be examples of those that are fulfilled by smart messaging.

Wiping for no reason: that could well be a difference between the view of the firmware of the world versus your view and I guess they just decided to err on the side of caution?

No. I said I've been in touch with technical support, and the manuals, docs, and their support is clear. It should not be wiping, it has a backuo battery too.

We've spent hours and hours testing, to validate the issue, and cause.

They likely have a firmware bug, or bad board design. And we've seen this from cards from different batches, bought years apart.

Their support is incompetent, and I say that with 30+ years of dealing with, and providing tech support. They fail to read tickets, and even spend (supposedly) weeks running tests, while ignoring vital data in tickets, and conveyed in support calls.

They. Are. Incompetent.

In terms of "issues with power", no. Not over dozens of servers, in different datacentres, and even just with the card at rest, out of server, on battery.

Understand, their job is to provide stable. HSM cards are useless, if they randomly wipe when in use, while under power "just cause".

I find it weird that you're playing devil's advocate here, describing how hard this is, this is an enterprise grade card, and people have been making reliable, and safe HSMs for decades.

The problem is 100% them, their desogn.

And even more so, their incompetent tech support.

Did I mention their tech support is incompetent?

This reminds me of Uber, Lift, and food delivery companies... Years and decades of VC money poured in, and they still can't get profitable. How the fuck anyone can think using drones, with current technology, can be profitable in consumer-centric logistics?

Drone logistics has its unique value proposition, primarily for medical transfers and emergency deliveries in remote areas. But thinking that flying drones from city to city, or inside the city, will replace or offset road logistics to deliver someone a book in 50 minutes is just stupid.

Does anyone here think Zipline will justify its crazy multi-billion valuation?
It depends, what version do you need?
Well yeah that's the difference, it doesn't generate the state machine for you so you "just" need to implement it yourself. For v3, rpcgen spits out a working function that you link into your program and you're done (on the client side anyway). Much easier.

Programming is a lot like design

- the customer tells you they need a design for their product, but they don't know what design they need, just what design they want. Now of course it falls back on you if you give them what they want and it doesn't work well.

- there are many ways to tackle the same problem, many of them work okay, some of them work well and look nice, some of them work well, look nice and are easy to manufacture and maintain. But it also has to be the solution they need and one where you can convince them they want it. Finding a good solution is a lot like finding the biggest common denominator of a large set of numbers.

As someone who worked in design before I can say that the most work and stress for me was bringing the clients up to speed, so I can communicate to them about the designs on one level. That meant explaining to them why their primary-color-powerpoint-comic-sans-poster communicates things they do not intend communicated.
> the sky will be filled with drones...

> and it will be hell.

Imagine that the drones would need to follow quite stringent routes for safety and noise avoidance. Also imagine that (currently) a <50-pound drone flying at 300 feet overhead has a lower sound volume than a passing delivery truck. Actually, don't imagine; it's quite true.

Why do you think it will be hell?

You're clearly not in growth mindset.
Completely agree. Kafka was another team's decision, not mine, so I had to figure it out. RabbitMQ is very convenient in that you don't need to read a couple of books on reliable data integration patterns to get something working simply and intuitively.

I am fond of Kafka now that I understand it, but I was also an assembly language programmer in a past life so my opinion is probably in the minority.

Regarding the buffer size: you need to implement back pressure, especially if you are CPU and not IO bound; it's another thing that's easy to get wrong with Kafka.
Two big things. First, because the economics of modern pinball are brutal, venues mostly stopped buying, so manufacturers and their competition shrivelled up and with it, supply. The supply-side market at this point is effectively dominated by individuals and collectors, neither who want to part with their machines, as they’re nostalgic items and they know they have value.

Furthermore, working machines come at big premiums as repairs are finicky, expensive, and time consuming - god help you if you own a machine and some targets or rollovers on your machine give out, as it’s challenging to find someone who’s even capable of doing the repairs, let alone pay their price. The expertise to do it is really thin these days because all the people who historically used to make a living from it are all getting old and retiring. This combines with a second problem: although widespread 3D printing helped a little with making repairs more doable, parts are hard to come by and often demand cannibalizing other old or dead machines - meaning a working machine is worth its weight in gold, and so is a dead one: Either it has interested players, or it’s of value for salvage. This “literally every machine is valuable” situation drives prices up, even if the machine is essentially dead.

Programming is hard mainly because its open ended. Its not a well defined finite problem. The domain of application keeps expanding and the logic required to organize information flow keeps getting more complex and varied.

It all started as the serial, offline processing of numbers emulating some aspect of the world. Since then you have the major but still largely incomplete revolutions with real time, interactive and concurrent applications.

The metaphors have long stopped being numbers. LLM's pretend to encode human language itself. Our entire semantic universe, to the degree it is externalized, is slowly codified and mapped into bits.

You also have the deepening of the stack. It started with simple machine code but now you can have like four layers of abstraction to help our poor brains manage torrents of information flows between very complex pieces of hardware.

So yeah, programming is hard because we are pushing hard to find the limits of what can be done with digital devices.

I dont think we are even halfway there yet. Its going to get much harder :-)
That what I often wonder, if one is going to start using a new language why go? Rust at least it gave one memory safety and not having to use GC make it more stable usage of resource as the discord article have already pointed out. Seem like go is just google's .NET, every big corp need to have their own language.
> a newline separated list of domains

why not list of URIs?

i don't like the tendency that every real-life authority (businnes, org, school, town, community, person) has its own domain. DNS was meant to be hierarchical.

i get it that "it happened to be this way" because of the bad decisions of various web tech (or the absolute lack of coordination between them). but we at least may escape from it. when a person or many of small communities, or often even a town has its own domain name, they usually does not manage it, not even own it. they outsource this heavy IT duty to an IT company. so in reality the IT company controls the domain.

then why IT-competent people today treat example-person.com and example-school.com being controlled by separate authorities while treat example-hosting.com/~person and example-hosting.com/~school by the same? example-person.com and example-school.com are both controlled by the same hosting company.
"because example-hosting.com/~person can set cookies on example-hosting.com/~school" they say. – ok, she should not. hte public suffix list is also the product of bad tech.

I would echo the sibling comment about wizard mode - it's difficult enough on modern machines that you'll most likely take a long time to get there. If trying to "beat the game" motivates you, I think you'll get value from it. I had significant money on the line to reach wizard mode on a Lord of the Rings that was in my apartment, and failed to do it in the year or so it was there.

Note that maintenance is a real pain if you're not comfortable with dealing with a lot of wiring yourself, so there's also some risk that something breaks (more of a certainty), and the machine just sits there until you can be bothered to get it fixed.

We struggled with this ourselves while building LLM-based products and then open-sourced our observability/monitoring tool [1]. Many use it to track RAG and agents in production, run custom evals on the production traces (focused on hallucination), and track how metrics are different across releases or customers.

> The fact is that performance oriented organizations optimize everything unless they have math telling them it isn't worth optimizing.

Most companies don’t have unlimited budgets. Performance-oriented organizations profile and then spend money where profiling tells them to. Shopify isn’t hiring people to contribute to MySQL or Redis internals. They hired a full team to work on Ruby internals, not just creating YJIT, but also on CRuby’s memory layout, hiring the lead on TruffleRuby, and funding academic programming language research on Ruby.

No company has an infinite budget to “optimize everything”. It is clear where internal performance testing pointed Shopify (at Ruby) and with double digit gains being extracted year after year, their profiling didn’t lie. And other Ruby on Rails shops are seeing similar double digit performance wins, not on fake benchmarks, but on actual page load times and traffic that can be handled by a server.

For signatures, hash based signatures are quantum computer resistant and are also more secure than any other signature scheme. No reliance on a math problem if you don't count the cryptographic permutation to be one, but then everything relies on it regardless of what scheme is used.

The McEliece cryptosystem[1] is one of finalists in the PQC competition and it's also quite old - developed in 1978. It didn't face as much scrutiny as RSA or ECC due to its large key sizes which resulted in nonexistent adoption.

My understanding is that all the other PQC candidates including Kyber are much newer and far less studied.

IMO too slow/fast doesn't matter a ton unless it's extreme (e.g. some steep ramps become impossible with weak flippers). Tilt to the left/right is a much bigger issue, especially if it starts making some standard ball return path drain straight down the middle.

Thanks for your thoughtful and informative reply.

Are you suggesting that mating success was probably at parity by sex for prehistoric humans? Because I would be very interested to know more about why you think that.

The last time I looked into it , it was thought that similar to many other species, female mate selection was the primary social driver of fitness selection , and that hyper-successful males effectively reduced the mating opportunities of less competitive males, while gestational opportunities were effectively at nearly 100 percent utilisation within a population.

If the thinking on that has changed for prehistoric humans (or pre-industrial ones) the reasons for that change of conjecture would be very interesting.

Or is it that you are suggesting that areproducrive men filled roles in prehistoric society in such a way that made them valued to the group in roles that were lower risk rather than higher risk? Because that would suggest that observed behaviour in modern pre-industrial societies was a newer innovation rather than a holdover from earlier behaviour, which seems like it would be difficult to substantiate. (Not that observations of indigenous peoples has typically been of a very high epistemological rigour)
True until Java 7, not so with all the newer bytecodes.
College used to be a stamp of competence, you used to be able to get a job unrelated to your degree by the simple fact that if you finished a college degree then you were at least certifiably competent and hard working. This is also why which college you went to mattered (and still does matter) a lot. A degree was basically outsourcing of part of the job interview process.

If everyone has a college degree it no longer has that intrinsic value, so only degrees tied to the job description have any value at all. Compounded to the fact that companies no longer train their employees because they don't stick around for their whole careers means entry level positions are evaporating.
I’m not familiar with the Python lib but it could be waiting for streams to acknowledge each message reception/persistence before sending the next one. Some clients allow transactions to run in parallel e.g. with futures.
> Tools have been written to identify these mistakes, but it is hard to analyze whether references to a variable outlive its iteration or not. These tools must choose between false negatives and false positives. The loopclosure analyzer used by go vet and gopls opts for false negatives, only reporting when it is sure there is a problem but missing others.

So it will warn in certain situations, but not all of them
I've also found Apple Maps' instructions are easier to follow. Apple Maps gives instructions like a human would ("in two lights, make a left onto Main Street"), unlike Google which usually gives instructions in distances ("in a half mile, turn left onto Main Street").

I'm sure some prefer the latter, but I find that it makes it much more likely that I will miss a light or especially a side street with only the smaller street signs on the side of the road.
