How much does Amazon charge? I pay about 50 Euro cents a month to Hetzner for mine.

I've tried running web servers as pure IPv6 plays, which I would happily, happily prefer. It is just not possible. Even things I'm convinced will work, like cellphones, which are mostly IPv6 these days, won't connect.
It's incredibly high:

Thanks, that makes sense. What does IAM offer that a stand-alone service like Keybase doesn’t? At what scale of project does it make sense to use one over another?

lol let's say they're less likely to impact correctness than an arbitrary new optimization.
What part of "edible" is eluding you?
That's neither the only metric of relevance, nor is that a good proxy for modern superscalar vector processor architectures.
Can anyone explain to me why it performs so "bad" compared to the 4090, although the specs are way better?
I don't see anything here about firing the executives who forced through this plan. Rolling back the changes isn't enough when the biggest damage is the breach of trust in having a reliable business partner.

It wasn't developed by Apple, but Metrowerks Codewarrior[0] was my serious introduction to programming.

Codewarrior was an application framework for the Mac OS but I learned a ton about programming and OOP in particular from reading through the Codewarrior code. It was revelatory and motivated me to go on to discover and explore the Gang of Four's Design Patterns and Alexander's work more broadly.

I cannot imagine some system that goes from a formal language to reality not having ambiguity. Even going from mathematical formalism to mathematical truth you can’t get all the truth. I imagine getting all the justice would be harder.

And I have heard lawyers explain that sometimes ambiguity, in contracts at least, is a good thing as it reduces the amount of a priori negotiation for low probability events. The the low probability event happens and the contract is ambiguous then you negotiate at that time and maybe sue.

And for laws, I think a bit of flex in the system probably would be a good thing. Give some scope for local judgment an autonomy to the people closest to the situation.
A workload that only needs 24GB of VRAM will be faster on the 4090. It has higher TDP, same die as the RTX 6000 Ada and nearly the same number of cores (the difference being irrelevant).

The price difference is for the VRAM.
I feel like we need a new default corporate ownership model. A company can be in operation for decades and grow headcount massively but the shareholders at the top retain the same percentage of control as when it was tiny and new. Many people contribute to a company's success and its not reflected in the ownership.

If ownership could accrue in employees to a non trivial degree, they would have some power to push back when some bonehead exec tries to blow the whole place up. It's their livelihood as well as just the shareholders.

Right now when one of these giants at the top falls, they take out a lot of other people with them.

He hasn’t made a single smart decision in Twitter, agreed. But in every other venture that’s not true.
This is a great example of the power of spending all your money. Notice how many developers are saying they'd accept a revenue share on top of the existing per seat fee. If Unity had not overspent their revenue no one would be showing them pity.

Regular people see a profit or loss as an inevitable and uncontrollable result of fate. Anyone who has run a business knows costs are things you decide on. Contracts do not sign themselves. Employees do not show up at the door by themselves demanding payment.

Unity spent more money than it earns. Leadership decided to do that. Now devs and employees are treating that decision as a fact of nature and pleading to charge more.
>> "It only takes 23 years to forget history."

I dont think this means people have forgot history, rather, I think people make tradeoffs. You trade off size/space/ease for long-term disruption. Most developers making these decisions now will be close to a 100yo in 2199. It will not be their problem, or even their childrens' problem. Possibly their grand-children's problem.

Alternatively, I could argue that the life of most systems is short enough that 80yrs is too long a horizon to worry about the problem.
Right. I pay about 50 Euro cents per month for each of mine, so my provider gets about $10 a year let's say. Which means they'll pay for themselves in 3 years on average, after that it's all profit, assuming they are still useful.

At some point. At SOME point, IPv6 will work in enough situations that we can ignore the small minority of situations where it doesn't. If even 90% of the visitors to my web sites could connect on IPv6 I would change tomorrow, but it just isn't that high yet.

That may be true, but the point was about empowering the end user. Making programing popular through the app store (arguable) is a separate (also important) topic.

Empowering the end user to not look at the computer as a black box that they have no idea about how it works is quite freeing and mind-expanding.

In the long term, I do believe there is a real risk for programming to become a niche where you end up asking for permission from the h/w vendor before you are allowed to write code on the device. We're slowly heading in that direction with app stores being bundled with the OS, and we may end up in a situation where you can only install s/w through the app store. And only "authorized" persons can download IDEs and dev tools. A large population that has no concept of programming is likely to not oppose this because the vendor will throw the security/privacy boogeyman at them, about "unauthorized" developers writing software that can harm them.
A peek into the future: "Godot engine after becoming successful due to Unity flopping a decade ago has decided to change its licensing terms, requiring retroactive payments as well as advance payments for future estimated sales. The new CEO from Microsoft Games has stated that this approach brings the most value to shareholders, developers and gamers and brings the long sought stability to the development of the engine."
Yeah nightmare scenario: everyone owns a robotic car, no one wants to pay for traffic. Car drives to work, then you send it home rather than pay for parking, and then summon car to pickup from work. So basically dual direction rush hour that stretches for twice as many hours.
It’s alright. Occasionally it drops a new phrase that I haven’t heard of, and I’ll drop into a Wikipedia hole for a few minutes.
I seem to recall my school district in the early-to-mid 90's having something like this set up with the very early Macintoshes. The Local Talk cable reminded me of times long forgotten. We could print to any printer in the district from the Chooser.

I made very good use of this wasting paper around the district.
The reason Arc hurts is that it's global and atomic. Multiple cores competing to inc/dec a shared reference count is pretty much a worst case scenario for modern CPUs.

Under modern garbage collection, there's very little need to coordinate across cores, just some barriers every now and then to mark things safe.
There is much more running on top of CloudFormation than meets the eye. CDK and SAM are both wrappers on top of CloudFormation.

I wouldn't be shocked to hear that licence fuckeries were the reasom why we don't have managed TF support of AWS.
> One of Unity's spokespersons actually said that Unity could add fees at any time, and customers could not do anything about it. Aside probably being illegal in most jurisdictions, this mentality shows a complete lack of integrity and an abundance of power-drunkenness.

Part of me really wanted this to happen just to put it to the legal test. So many modern sales, especially digital, are actually an indefinite license rather than ownership. Imagine the fun possibilities of:

* iTunes/Amazon/Google/etc charging an additional "viewing fee" any time you listened or watched music, movies, or TV you previously paid for.

* Tesla charging a network access fee any time you start your car.

* Your smart TV getting a firmware upgrade that starts invoicing you for minutes watched. These charges can be offset by advertisement credits that you earn by shouting "McDonald's!" at your television.

I suspect with the death of ZIRP, Unity won't be the last company who tries to pull something like this.
If we apply the AI gains to working less and people in Asia simply add them to their current productivity we will continue to lose the economic battle. Local productivity gains probably don't matter in a world where we compete globally, only relative gains against our global competitors.
Thanks! Checking those out.

Hashicorp is still not out of the woods. If Microsoft or AWS gets behind openTF they are fucked.

Hot take: I'm tempted to say that minecraft is "practically" even if not legally open source. It's very well-understood internally and has been _heavily_ colonized by mod developers.

It's at the point where it's impossible to run a safe and secure minecraft server without installing a mod like paper that completely overhauls the game. There are several modpacks that contain probably 50x more code in mods than code from mojang.

Not to mention, who really controls the game?

If microsoft ever did anything truly egregious I have no doubt that the entire community would pick up sticks and move. It would be large, it would be coordinated, and it would be swift. There are LOTS of successful mincraft clone projects out there, ranging from being loosely minecraft-inspired with lots of new content, to striving to replicate each new feature and addition perfectly, to being written in rust, you name it. The loss of java mods would suck, but give it a year or two and most of the active ones would probably be rewritten. Hell, most of them are written against the very handy Forge modding API, not microsoft's code.

Never mind the fact that the moment microsoft tries to crack down on modding, the various open-source 3rd party launchers will patch out the licence-mandated piracy checks (or will be forked to do so, in fact these pirate forks probably already exist).
My sister-in-law (Chinese, although not super-old) brings us a new jar of homemade chili oil whenever we finish the last one, and is constantly experimenting with new peppers, oils, spices, and preparations. If we ask nicely, she also brings bags full of homemade dumplings as tasting medium ;)

Don't worry, even if Unity fully abandons these plans, trust has been irreversibiley destroyed, and everyone is now aware that their CEO is an EA scumbag.

I doubt many people will start new projects based on Unity after this..

Those are already different types, though. What type it makes sense to use for seconds isn’t necessarily the same as what type it makes sense to use for other time units. I agree that using 128 bits makes sense for nanoseconds if for some reason you care about nanosecond-precision timestamps merely hundreds of years in the future or past.

I find it hard to believe we will ever have femtoseconds-resolution timers or ever even care what femtosecond an event happened at. But even if we do, incidentally, 128 bits is still fine. i128 femtoseconds will overflow in approximately the year 1000000000000000000000000.

So, I don’t think there’s any practically useful time unit for which we need variable length integers and can’t just use i128.
That’s the entire point of a CEO: to be a well-paid martyr to blame when bad things happen. It’s the company to blame; putting the CEO specifically on blast plays into the narrative that things will be better if they are replaced.

Once a company gets this big it’s simply a horde of independent maggots writhing in the pile. No true sense of direction, just a deep-rooted desire for growth at all costs. No one is sure what’s happening with other parts of the company, because that’s outside of their scope. All they know is that for their own sake they must continue growing the company.
Would your comment read any differently if you replaced "Chinese" with "United States", or "France", or any other Western civilized nation?

I'm curious to understand why China is to be blamed, exclusively? Correct me if I am misunderstanding your premise.
If robo taxies could be limited to running to and from transit hubs, they could provide a huge benefit in providing last mile service. I would love to call a taxi to get from the light rail station home (which is a 17 minute car ride or a 40 minute bus ride + 10 minute walk), I wouldn't bother just getting an Uber directly home from the airport anymore (taking lightrail and transferring to bus doesn't make sense).
I suspect this is going to be the case.
Uber was supposed to make hailing a vehicle easier. It succeeded at that. Congestion is a matter for traffic engineers and congestion pricing.

Thanks. I was about to ask what "APIs over databases" meant. I design DBs and write APIs and I was struggling to imagine a scenario in which a data consumer - or I as a consumer - wouldn't want to understand both. I'm not even sure to whom they're interchangeable terms. Possibly to a front end coder who doesn't want to craft queries?

I don't call myself a data scientist or even a software engineer (though I'd be well within my rights to, under the current understanding of those descriptions). I'm a coder who writes a lot of business logic and analyzes results. But I have noticed a creeping tendency recently for people who futz around with large data dashboards or LLM conversational strategies to try to distance themselves from the people who write code, as if somehow we who actually think through the logistics of performance and structure are just road workers while they're driving the shiny Tesla of Science, coming to the Big Answers. It's ridiculous, because anyone who's built a NN or a large DB knows how to query one, and is usually moderately bored by the results.

AWS charges $0.005 per IP per hour. Multiplied by 8760 hours, you get about $44/year at 100% utilization.
Everyone - especially those in my own team - told me that dates needed to be human readable strings in my APIs and messages, but I ignored them and used Java time stamps (Unix, but milliseconds) instead.

Lo, nobody complained about the readability because most time problems are relative to other events, rather than to a specific clock time. It’s so much easier to work out that two events occurred a few milliseconds apart when you don’t need to take segmentation (ie: ymdhms.s) into account. And using an integer obviates time zone and daylight savings corner cases. You can simply subtract two numbers and get useful information. And it’s much easier to do the math in your head and in scripts.

For those relatively rare times that you do need to know the clock time, there are CLI tools (ie, date -s) and websites galore.

Of course my use case was not everyone’s use case. But I ignored the blanket recommendation to use human readable time, and despite the naysayers, life became much easier for me and my team. I doubt that I would go back to string timestamps for any purpose.

Honestly, human time is for humans, it’s a presentation problem. Computer time is for computing.
I don't like this solution because it will cost me money and time to setup myself a modem that can handle properly ipv6 or switch to a more expensive provider.

Send the bill to end users is not what should be done.

All this ipv6 endeavour already cost me a lot of time learning and troubleshooting software, and sometimes realizing that some modems doesn't have a good ipv6 stack and the best solution is to turn it off.
That's the languages. I'm expecting/hoping to be able to run it in the CLI, web browser, native GUI, mobile, and on an ESP32.
Locale and time are two separate pieces of data. Why store them together? Why not unix time and locale as two separate data points, and then mapping them to a human readable value is a UI concern?
You can in Postgres. It's not often a good idea since it would constitute an optimization fence and potentially buffer large values in memory, but you can absolutely do this in a function variable.

record[]
some_table_name[]
jsonb containing an array of records

And of course the most obvious shared set variable of all, supported by every popular RDBMS in existence: the temporary table. Something scoped to the current session, of essentially unlimited width and length, and accessible to other definitions and queries.

We get it. You want something closer to a general purpose programming language. But don't confuse your preferences with actual missing features.

Surprising for the OP to neglect mentioning MacOS X's bundling of Terminal.app (2001) and the built-in window it opened to UNIX on MacOS. While I now use iTerm2, Terminal has been steadily maintained since. But I agree, when compared to the Apple ][ series, and to NeXT, Apple did not court developers to the Mac well during the 80s and 90s.
Buses take more passengers and can still be a net-win by reducing taxi traffic (besides secondary reduction in congestions due to less accidents from intoxicated and tired drivers).

Git interoperability can help with that: if you have an on-disk data format that's either compatible with git, or can easily be converted to git, you can keep your backups in git format, and work from them with git if something goes wrong.
It seems like compilers should have an interactive mode where it suggests code that is very similar but not technically perfectly the same that is more efficient and the can accept or decline the alternate version.
> Productivity has increased by nearly an order of magnitude since the 1960s but real wage growth hasn't kept up

You're thinking quite locally, while the labor market is now largely global. What is our increase/decrease in productivity relative to our global competitors in Europe and Asia? Since we buy almost all our goods from them now, intuitively our wage increase/decrease would more closely track that than our local productivity.

> I think it is equally ignorant to be universally against gun control measures

Someone "universally against gun control measures" here. I'd be interested in knowing how I'm as ignorant as people who want to regulate things based on scary buzzwords, vaguely describing items that they generally lack any knowledge of.

I'd assert it's possible to hold this position, yet also be quite well informed about the history, mechanics, laws, and social consequences surrounding firearms and their accessories. For example, one could simply consider retaining the individual agency that this part of the Bill of Rights has preserved for us as being of higher utility than any of the downsides that additional (or existing) legislation purports to address. My personal view is a bit more nuanced than that (in fact, I agree with most of your post), but wanted to point out that one could start with different base axioms/heuristics, examine the same data, and end up with a different end perspective via perfectly rational (i.e., non-ignorant) reasoning.
It's probably both that is leaking your source out and the risk of it being a copyright violation if it spits out some GPL source verbatim and you check it in.
I guess if fossil fuel companies can do it with CO2 why not Uber and congestion, sure just sign all us up to pay for the externalities.
The really basic thermodynamic approach of just measuring calories has fallen out of fashion for some reason, but given that both protein and fat just reduce down to carbs and simple sugars after a certain point, it seems to me that the relative differences between them are overrated. Macronutrient ratios probably just don't matter that much as long as you are meeting your essential amino and fatty acid levels, which is extremely easy to do in a developed country.

There are some important and complex considerations with respect to certain things like gut flora, for instance. Or people with particular genes that change how their metabolism works, or their liver enzymes. But nutrition science is primitive and self-contradictory at the moment. We lack the knowledge to provide a personalized medicine approach.
