I feel you've missed my point - 'ergonomics' literally means 'efficiency and comfort', not 'future maintainability'. Regex does comfort. AWK does it. If you need to do a specific thing right now, and you know them, then those tools are about as good as it gets. I'm not denying that those solutions will be horrible to grow and maintain, but that wasn't your point - that's why I said your choice of saying they weren't "ergonomic" was a bit odd. They are. That's the problem.

Most of the custom text editing operations I do on a daily basis only need to work once. For that, a Regex is very 'ergonomic'. If I were writing an emacs package, I'd probably use something better - something less ergonomic, but easier to maintain.

As an aside, I used to work in a machine shop and we had a well-designed system of pneumatic tubes throughout the warehouse powering spartan steel-handled drills that would give me calluses but reliably get the same jobs done the same way every day. At home, for the odd job I need to do, I use a cheap lithium drill with a nice grippy handle. Sometimes the ergonomic option is better because, right now, I just don't need to buy a compressor and run tubes through my house.
You can have it fast, or correct, or both, or neither.

Here's an extremely fast sorting algorithm that's incorrect:

function cobbalSort(arr) { return arr; }
clearly not in I/O bound cases, but in that world everything except the b-tree was done relationally, so yeah joins and view and the whole lot. we may have also had a really poorly though out VM. but direct instruction generation wasn't really a big deal and it helped quite a bit
Hi Vlad,

You might want the blog to prominently link back to https://kagi.com. "Home" took me to https://blog.kagi.com, I tried clicking on the pricing table image, etc. but nothing got me to the actual product.

I had to manually enter https://kagi.com to see the product behind the blog.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm a visual person so I thought video was a good first step. I'll add a bit more information for people who prefer to read.
I remember doing some relatively complex stuff with SSH config 15 or 20 years ago with IP filtering, different users having different chroots, IP forwarding rules based users connecting and rules around what SSH clients / protocols were allowed. Part of that was also defining custom ports too. All of which were just defined in sshd_config.

None of this was new stuff back then. It just wasn’t well blogged (in fact it was so poorly written about that my very first blog post was on exactly this topic. Blog is long gone now though). However if anyone took the time to read the man pages, you’d see all the functionality is already backed into openssh
RSC is how React figured out partial hydration. Before this, you would simply not move to a server-rendered app, as it was not worth it - the client bundle would stay the same and you're just increasing overhead.

Ah wonderful! Looks fairly inexpensive as well, and they have a summarisation option that seems great, I'll need to play a bit with it.
If more people decide cars are getting too pricey maybe they'll vote for more transit and use the transit that's already there.

I'm assuming Gen Z? You are aware that your index.html of your React app is also server-side rendered, right? And you are aware that all the API's that your SPA talks to are also server-side rendered, right?

Yep, also a reason why I refuse to take my children to an indoor range. Lead dust gets everywhere, I also keep separate set of shooting clothes which I wash outdoors to avoid contaminating my children's clothing.
My understanding is that doctor assisted suicide is legal under certain circumstances in California. My father watched his terminally ill friend pass this way, and apparently the person needs to be able to drink the poison themselves, which could be a problem for someone with a paralyzing disease like ALS. Whatever they gave him also didn't look particularly painless.

Even more important would be access to experimental/unapproved treatments for people with terminal illnesses. It's mind boggling that the government still outlaws dying people from trying new drugs to potentially save themselves and advance medicine because they might be dangerous.
Yes. Quoting Wikipedia[1]:

iOS 17's Weather app at least brings back the forecast's "Chance of Precipitation" graph which was conspicuously absent in iOS 16.

Talk about missing the point with their redesigned Weather app that was billed a successor for Dark Sky.
My understanding is that the availability of electricity is not the issue, but rather e.g. that manual weeding instead of using herbicides is labor intensive, and we don't currently have machines that can do this. But this is a problem of robotics and computer vision etc., not of powering the equipment.
A reasonably frequent usage of this speed is for families to switch over to mobile internet as the primary service for your home, having multiple people watch "TV" and videoconference all while someone is gaming (or dowloading a 40 Gb game) all through a single 5G modem.
Me when I read code I wrote earlier today.
I remember being upset about this and quite a few people saying some variation of “just use weather.app…it’s the same data.

But it’s always been about the interface and the way you display that data. I mean heck, the weather channel uses publicly available government weather data, slaps some graphics on it and then called it a whole channel.

I still miss dark sky.
That's truly ironic – in Europe, the giro/wire transfer system has its roots in the postal service in many countries!

In the US, a similar thing happened for American Express and Western Union, which also started out as postal and telegraph service providers before they became financial service providers.
Lead dust settles everywhere, gets into your lungs, especially if it's an indoor range.
The file picker on Windows should be thought of as more like a process than a function call. It has to 1) read the metadata of the current directory’s files 2) look up which icon to use for each 3) load the icon 3) call apps that may modify the file icon overlay (like “synced” or “not synced” cloud icons for Cloud file systems like Google Drive) 4) read the registry for various settings 5) load which pinned files a user set up - etc etc. All this involves dozens of disk reads, calling into third party code, etc. A lot of this may be cached but who knows.

The alternative to this is to roll a barebones file picker - there might even be one available in the Windows API.
Browsing the site on Tor Browser gave me a Google 403 page until I cycled circuits a few times. Makes perfect sense given the blog is hosted on GCP but it did make me pause initially and consider if that was some sort of joke I'm not getting.
Morally yes, but not legally.
It’s largely a concept that doesn’t exist in English. All our parents’ siblings’ offspring are simply “cousins”; regardless of which parent, or which of their siblings, etc.
I agree bandaids cannot solve this. I just disagree we should be targeting a generation and not just targeting all wealthy people, because the generational opportunities you're describing were closed to subsets of people. Like I said, it's not like a Latina grandmother who wasn't allowed to open a bank is the source of the generational global wealth problem-- it's the white managerial class who got preferential federal mortgage loans.
Most of the spending of the middle class, and all of the spending of the working class, is already spoken for.

If you want to make money from the middle class, you have to do better at something than whoever is doing it now.

If you want to make money from the rich, you just have to dream up some new twist on their wants (sure, it has to be executed reasonably well, but you're not competing in the same way).

So sure, most of the money that changes hands does so via the daily/weekly/monthly spending of regular people. But that's not where the big money is unless you come up with a truly mass market new thing. The big money is in providing for the wants of the rich, because the marginal utility of what they spend on wants is so low to them.
It's gonna be hilarious when all the new EV buyers find out about the broken chargers and start fighting over the few that work (chargers are backed up against a wall so "waiting in line" doesn't work). My prediction is we'll see massive drops in car trips due to range anxiety. Will be interesting to see the second and third order effects. Maybe public transit will make a comeback, and automakers will stay afloat with more government handouts trying to juice an EV revolution.

Cities are gonna be littered with aging cars in a few years since there are virtually no chargers in cities with street parking. Conversely, no mechanics in the country know how to work on EVs. EVs only work in the suburbs.
Recently read that sweat concentrations of heavy metals can be about 7-8 times higher than blood serum levels. So you can sweat out heavy metals, but just barely. My guess is you lose more in skin flakes and hair.
The problem is that rewriting existing code into a memory-safe language is a huge investment -- and realistically the world depends on a lot of code built over many decades that cannot be rewritten overnight. Consider that Mozilla created Rust specifically so they could rewrite their browser in it, yet still only a small fraction of Firefox code is Rust today -- much more is still C/C++. Realistically we're going to have a lot of heavily used C/C++ code forever. The singularity will come before we can replace it all.

The nice thing about sandboxing and fuzzing can be applied to existing code.

Hypothetically, if you assume somebody else will go through all that, wouldn't it be easier to acquire market data and follow unusual trades?
Pretty long tail of apps that shell out to imagemagick to convert stuff, too.
A recent blog post about MongoDB's SBE detailed that the purpose behind their VM is that it serves as a way to re-use an execution component between two different query languages. SQLite's claim was just that the strong separation between compilation and execution makes issues easier to debug.

I wouldn't expect VMs to become the default design in databases, but it seems like it's getting increasingly common as an IR for query compilation. The ability to have a (comparatively simpler) interpreter for the VM also means you can apply simple fuzzing to great effect: if the results of interpretation vs compilation ever diverge, there's a bug.
> The bottom rung of society is going to lose their transport.

And in many cases, they're also going to lose their jobs. Politicians are incapable of thinking beyond the M25, so are probably expecting everyone to just hop on the Tube or frequent London bus services instead.

People can't move closer to workplaces (or better public transport links), as the #1 goal of every UK government seems to be pumping up property prices to ever more ridiculous levels. (You can't allow the supply of housing to increase when rich people are getting richer from the rising prices!)

We're incapable of building transport infrastructure in the UK. Look at the state of HS2. Something like £500 million per mile of railway (largely down to those property prices), and it might not even reach London at the current rate, let alone be extended north of Birmingham.

Even for those that can afford an EV, huge numbers of people are unable to charge them at home (living in flats, relying on on-street parking, etc). There's hardly any visible growth of public charging infrastructure, and you just know that public chargers will be a huge bait+switch, eventually charging extortionate amounts compared to home charging (if only to minimize the queues...)

Apparently the ring builders in The Expanse books were supposedly squids from an ice encrusted planet/moon.

It is an odd idea of how they’d even discover it. Assuming their natural habitat is a thermal vent on the ocean floor, they’d need pressure suits or probes to travel up to shell. Then they’d need to essentially create a Kola Superdeep Borehole in the sky, and there’s no obvious reason to do that, especially since drilling down into rock would be easier, and certainly more lucrative. (ie there aren’t any valuable materials in ice). This is assuming they don’t discover a 15 km deep fissure, which seems unlikely because I don’t think individual fissures discovered are that deep, all fissures are transitory, and probably randomly distributed. Sure a seismic network in the sky would could find evidence of fissures, but why are you building a seismic network in the sky?
We probably need to differentiate between spending and wealth ownership.

Not sure how that breaks down.
Does ChatGPT integrates basics known encoders/decoders aside from LLM (if not, I thought that it was the case)?

Base64 is about encoding not hashing... So decoding it is... natural. The point here is that it's integrated inside ChatGPT? It seems to me that it's an "obvious" "feature" kind of.

Looks interesting, but unfortunately the courses are mostly towards big data and data science AFAIS, with one robotics pathway as exception.

Would love to see something that sticks to malware and reverse engineering. Say something starts with low level programming, proceeds to os internals and then exploitations and such.

Specifically, OpenShift is supported on both POWER and IBM Z in addition to x86 and ARM.

But probably the main reason is that the project started in 2018, when Rust didn't have nearly as much momentum.

Yeah atlas with federated queries and what not makes thinking about the entirety of an application storage layer a breeze. And gpt is even better at generating mongo queries than it is at sql, which is a nice unexpected facilitation in day to day usage.

Being judicious in which dependencies you take on is not the same as Not Invented Here syndrome. Code is usually a liability, not an asset.
Average price of a new car in the US is almost $48k, regardless of powerplant. Your concern is extremely valid, but the only solution is a combination of engineering our way to cheaper EVs and targeted subsidies. We have the wealth, simply need to shift away from fossil fuel subsidies and redirect towards EVs.
Note that mars's atmosphere has more CO2 in it (per unit volume! Despite having almost no atmosphere) than Earth's does. Definitely not 2.

We are pretty much already there, though there is room to improve, it's an amazing accomplishment though that I think we take for granted.

Oracle charges per 2 vCPU. This is quite standard.
Sound's like a cool tool for testing prototypes in short time!
Something very useful for intermediate developers who want to fast check their ideas!
I'm OK with that. Big picture, EVs are just sweeping the fossil fuel problem under the rug, and I've yet to see a response to this problem that doesn't rely on counting chickens before they've hatched.

And the cost of (often obligatory, in places like the USA) private transportation is almost like a crony capitalist regressive tax. It disproportionately harms the purchasing power of working-class individuals. Before I broke into the middle class, it was absolutely infuriating how much of my hard-earned money I had to spend on owning, maintaining, and operating my car. But there was no way around it, because the city I lived in was structured such that not owning a car was tantamount to not even having a chance at improving my economic opportunity. The sooner governments are forced to stop making infrastructure decisions that further siphon money out of the pockets of individuals and into the pockets of big automakers and oil companies, the better.

Fair enough. Sell in bulk but have some minimum credits per month requirement. More or less, use'em or lose'em. Not super painful, they are paying customers :) But enough to keep it fair to the vendor. This way there's a path to paying for those who don't want or need a monthly unlimited subscription.

Not true - there are local scams as well
The problem is that too much of the innovation in our system targets ways of becoming a new middleman in existing economic exchanges, because collecting 1% of "all X" is much more valuable than collecting 100% of "a few Y".

The incentives to innovate in ways that actually benefit people are weak in our system, because the disincentives to innovate in ways that just make you a bit wealthier are small to non-existent.

Weird question, but: what do you search for?

Back when Netflix/Prime were the king of paid premium (ad free) streaming essentially being the only players, there were definite months where I barely watched any content and I was a pure source of subsidy for all the other viewers. There are other times, where I swear they (Netflix) start throttling my use to sub-VHS quality. Macroblocking the size of your fist that looks like a 320x240 image scaled to the size of my TV.

I did the switch from a tree walk interpreter to a VM in postgres - it did lead to substantial speedups.

I've experimented with lowering into x86 "manually" as well, and it did provide gains, but the portability aspects are concerning. And for much of the desirable speedups you ime want more optimization than trivial lowering would give you.

Either way, without the tree walk -> VM move, it'd have been much harder to lower into x86 directly. And you'd still need a fallback for other platforms.
I still have a length of it in storage but I don't know the brand by heart. It was pretty expensive stuff and it needed weird fittings, which were also expensive, the inner liner was blue, that much I do recall. In the end I mostly regretted going for plastic, I'd probably use regular copper pipe and crimp fittings again, less hassle and I'm just more familiar with it.
I am amused by some of the responses to this. I am traveling right now and needed to stop at a rest area and deal with some email. I just tried to tether my MacBook Pro to my iPhone and once again got “Failed to enable Personal Hotspot”. Those who keep defending Apple’s choices because tethering is “flawless” seem to live in a different universe.
> Regulation routinely reduces cost.

Can you provide an example of this actually happening in a competitive market?

> Only one party is incentivised to say trot out this “regulation is bad” BS and its businesses that want to operate in an ancap utopia because they weren’t lucky enough to make regulatory capture work for them.

Businesses that want to challenge an incumbent who succeeded in making regulatory capture work for them would be an obvious counterexample, and for the same reason the customers who want to see the challenger succeed in making the market more competitive.
I'm curious and extremely skeptical as to how the UX is going to be made better regarding the terrible UX surrounding encryption. I used Matrix with a non-technical family member for about six months before giving up and going back to SMS because she frequently got messages about encryption that she was in no way equipped to deal with, and did not even begin to understand (yes, the "user-friendly" key fingerprint screen is one of those pain points) and I had to handhold her through the process, every time she got a new device or similar.

One time I had to manually export and import my own keys to be able to read old messages, which was a task that would have been too technical for most of the people I'd like to chat with, and was supremely annoying for me.

It's just a non-starter. I have a community I've been considering moving to Matrix for literal _years_ now and there are just so many sharp edges.

I've been confused about Matrix's priorities for a long, long time. I am not getting any less confused, to be honest.
