> a generation that pulls up the ladder as soon as they have something

This is a generally dangerous catalyst for stagnation. It has happened
in technology much more than in the broader economy.

The successful don't want to play by the same rules as the upcoming,
even though they were once in the same position. They do this by
changing the rules as soon as they have power, to lock out any
contenders.

Sure, homeowners have hacked the system to keep their "assets" rising.
But tech is a better example. It was very fluid and disruptive in the
early days. The victors, the Big-5, got there by quickly realising, as
Lessig noted, that code could be used to modify the playing field.
Sure, they bought regulatory laws like the DCMA, but even without
that, non-interoperability, embrace-extend-extinguish, standards
breaking, patent trolling and knowledge destruction, acquisition and
mothballing of competition... all part of the same play-book to stop
_you_ from doing what _they_ were able to.

I don't think the problem of the pulled-up ladder, of self-modifying
code, is given enough attention in dynamic macro-economics.
I don’t hate it! Key at home is to not overuse the stuff that’s bad for you and focus on high-quality stuff (as best you can tell)
FWIW I switched just fine. The apps definitely don’t have the fit and finish of 1Password but I was up and running pretty fast and haven’t looked back.
Well, maybe it's different in your area, but the generation currently showing up in the political process is all Boomers.

What happens online doesn't matter for these things. What matters is who shows up and shakes down city council members by being angry and claiming to represent concerted voting blocs.

Well, that and those who are changing the state level regulation of local municipalities to force them to build more housing. But that is a strategy pursued by younger groups advocating for housing (which also includes Boomers!).

But the opposition is nearly uniform in their age, largely due to who has the free time to set city level policy.
> There's an argument to be made that the "Simple" Network Management Protocol they're a fan of is far from being simple either[2]. Configuring the security features of v3 is not a simple task, and entire books have been written about SNMP as well. They conveniently ignore this by using v2c and making access public, which might not be acceptable in real-world deployments.

Oh you sweet summer child that's fucking easiest part of this utter abomination!

Adding anything that's not covered by standard OIDs is a fucking chore. And it is just a string of numbers so you either have to write your own custom OID files and distribute them everywhere OR operate by numbers alone.

And there is no fucking key-value or even fucking labels. If you want to have say distribute a list of arbitrary keys with arbitrary values under hierarchy, the OID will look like

.1.1.1.1.1: key1
.1.1.1.1.2: key2
.1.1.1.1.3: key3
.1.1.1.2.1: val1
.1.1.1.2.2: val2
.1.1.1.2.3: val3

"all functions have unique distinct names"

Really? And every developer will create custom, broken, non-standard "namespace" system: admin_get_user vs. readers_get_user, or maybe admin.get_user vs. readers.get_user, or maybe get_user_admin, get_user_readers, etc. Surely, this will stir a lot of creativity, but I am not sure we need that.
Agreed. We're in this mess because of unregulated capitalism, but sure, removing even more regulations will definitely solve it!

(for the people who are fortunate enough to "have a venture" goes unsaid - the rest will be left poor, and they deserve it, for they weren't good / useful enough)

There is absolutely an argument to be made here about regulatory capture with respect to zoning laws, parking minimums, etc making building dense housing impossible. The parent comment started fine and then devolved into typical libertarian drivel about how if we just remove ALL regulations to business, this will definitely get resolved.

The issue is absolutely supply and demand for houses, otherwise housing would be affordable for more people.

Housing markets are local. Their supply and demand dynamics are local. Affordable housing in Kentucky does not help people in San Francisco or Seattle unless everyone can telework.

Unaffordable housing is a major contributor to inability to build wealth. In most cases it’s no high paying jobs or unaffordable housing, pick one.
Yes, this is why the "it's immigration" comments are incredibly naive. Immigration is trying to prop up this system.
> We all have multicore machines and it would be great if we could use more than 1/8 or 1/12 (or whatever high thread count of your beefy servers) of our hardware.

It is probably important here to realize that async solves concurrency, not parallelism. You can use async with a single threaded runtime for I/O concurrency and mix that with threads for computational parallelism for long running jobs.

That said, there may be some benefit a multi-threaded runtime would have for the typical I/O bound app (after working around lifetime limitations by adding Send/Sync to data structures). This is because I/O bound programs and those requiring computation are not mutually exclusive and there is always some amount of computation going on, so there may still be some benefit. I doubt a synthetic benchmark would answer this as those typically don't measure any actual work performed, but just "requests/sec".

From my experience, no silver bullets. Let metric software do metric and log software do logs.

At the very least at the database level. Maybe we will get visualisation engine that merges both nicely but database wise the type of data couldn't be any different.
They were enforcing some laws and doing so selectively.

Striking workers were usually on the wrong side of the law though because they were using coercion and force to make every worker to participate in strikes (they could hardly work any other way without laws restricting “right to work”)
No. The user experience of 1Password is just frustrating. I use it daily for work and don’t like it. I’ve used it longer than I’ve used bitwarden.
> I don't want Netflix to prompt me, "Want to watch the next episode for 4 cents?"

No prompt needed - just as your electricity company doesn't prompt you before you watch TV either. You trust the rate to be reasonable and you just get billed for it.

This pricing model is the consumer's ideal pricing model for most things - pay close to what it actually costs at a reasonable rate - because that's the most efficient and keeps decision fatigue minimal. We just don't have it for everything because the industry hasn't matured yet.
Most Metro areas do not have enough affordable housing. It's well established that local governments cannot build enough new affordable housing, partly because any contractor that bids goes way over the value of a private housing venture.

The idea that there's enough housing but "in the wrong place" is like saying there's plenty of jobs, they're just in third world countries and Scandinavia.

The idea that the solution is "play Robin Hood with the global economy" is literally a fairy tale.

I still don't understand why async is faster. Sharding data can be as simple as a buffer per thread in a thread pool to catch incoming data. With async, don't you havev to allocate that input buffer each time? That seems hideously expensive.

That’s not how it works. If they buy 4 billion of shares, they then have an asset worth 4 billion. No impact to profit.
I've never heard "web 1.0 guy" as a pejorative, on top of what you said. For the curious, Michael Crandell is the CEO and he founded Right Scale in 2007 which exited in 2018 with 250 employees. He was EVP at eFax in the early aughts, which would have been somewhere in his twenties. He's a Stanford and Harvard graduate as well as a self-taught programmer in assembly. Here's an interview with him: https://medium.com/authority-magazine/michael-crandell-of-bi...

Kyle Spearrin is still at BitWarden and is listed as the Founder & CTO: https://bitwarden.com/about/ It looks like he lives in Jacksonville, FL and has a lot of hobbies.

Maybe this is some internalization, but thinking about another engineer referring to me, pejoratively, as a "web 1.0 engineer" would probably leave me confused. Am I supposed to be ashamed I played in the early days of the web?
The point is that old software and hardware are everyday usable. There are modern day software that do not suffer from the same performance issues as some of the other bloated ones. Albeit very few exist.

One can always complain about things that don't work. Instead, look at everything that works well today - it is a very good way to bring usability back into perspective. The intent is in bringing computers way beyond their intended eras and keeping things running with them. The effort recognizes and acknowledges the mistakes done so that there is a course correction going forward. HTH.

I cheated on level one and entered:

return 2 * x;

Just to bring back the comment that sparked this off:

> Not sure if everyone knows just how easy making something like this is. This kind of an app takes less than one week to develop, using the OpenAI function calling API.

So - the original statement was "something like this". Not the design, the videos, the templates but the core, essential functionality. And that is probably a couple of hours work.

I suspect the real value is mainly in the prompt templates. I haven't tried but there's probably some wording that helps guide the results. It might be that these took a lot of trial and error to tune - or it might be that the first thing I try gives me results as good as GPTExcel.

"Indeed, Google lawyers have explicitly argued that the judge should avoid allowing documents to become public solely because it is “clickbait.” To put it differently, the search giant literally argues material should stay sealed merely because if that material is interesting. "

There's nothing about industry secrets. Google's lawyers don't want to "embarrass" the company or its execs.

> Regulations are not building for high capacity, preferring to sprawl and build monster homes that house few, wealthier people.

So you’re saying regulations are blocking new home construction. Got it.

What you describe is exactly what people mean when they say you “can’t build housing.” In reality you kind of can but only a few homes and only at the very high end. You can only build at the high end because of density limits and zoning and also because complicated regulations and battles with NIMBYs increase costs. When the cost to build is high only big luxury homes can be profitable. Lower margin per unit affordable homes and apartments can’t be funded.
Ask HN: Android low latency audio in 2023
With the desire to clarify what's going on with Android low latency, see the links below from around 2018-2021, with a third link from an unknown date, however which claims devices that can go down to around 13ms round trip latency.

On March 11th of the first link, the author talks about using a MIDI device to be able to focus mainly on the output latency only, does that mean using another input device other than the screen can generally get Android output latency down to 20ms or lower!?

Any clarification gratefully received.

Paradoxically there is probably no other developed country where finding work as an un undocumented illegal immigrant is easier than in the US. While immigration laws there are very strict by western standards.
> The issue is not supply and demand for houses - there are plenty enough to go around (though often in the wrong place).

This drives prices up, though. Not just price of homes, but, similarly to fuel, prices of almost everything. Not many people are in the correct stage of life to evenly distribute themselves across the US's geography.

> For example, medical bills. For example student loans.

I doubt the baby boomers have student loan debt. They existed in a time long before the current university bureaucratic infrastructure was put in place and drove up costs (and thus prices), and they were far less likely to get a degree with no job prospects. Medical bills, sure, but they have always been around.

> The solution is to address wealth inequality. This means taking wealth away from those who have amassed too much, and returning it to those who had it stolen from them.

You have to be aware of all the massive, country-breaking problems this approach all but guarantees. We need a system that works, not a system that doesn't work with a heavy-handed thumb on the scale.

The actual obvious candidate is not punishing people who create so much value they have a load of money, because that value is worth that money, and without it we might be stuffed. The big reasons are: fuel prices, which are actually driving inflation, the post-Covid economic impact, and investing giant sums in defending Ukraine's border. You could say land and medical legislation give the worst of both worlds in those sectors, probably less efficient than public running or private markets.

You might say all of those things are worth it. But it's silly to just assume we can raid piggy banks on an ongoing basis, even if you had no moral issue with it.
It isn't clear if you meant this as an aside, but Switzerland is a Schengen area country. It isn't in the EU/EEA which (in some sense) necessitates customs checks more so than immigration checks, but nonetheless there are frequent checks on the border with its neighbouring countries which are in the EU/EEA. It's less common by private vehicle, in my experience.

I enjoyed this article from Cal Paterson my excolleague. It's about Python async not being faster:

https://calpaterson.com/async-python-is-not-faster.html

I think the idea is that while your blocking waiting for IO in one task you can serve a different task, potentially from a different user. Coroutines, green threads, communicating sequential processes as in Go or Occam.
It’s not needed for everyone to be able to work remotely. A large subset of people being able to do so should make affordable housing in one location be helpful in other areas.

It takes time and confidence that the remote work is widespread and durable, but it doesn’t have to be across every field.
> but how many (unpopular) shows are only watched a few times a year yet they take valuable infrastructure capacity?

Disk space is cheap. I would assume that they don't really take infrastructure capacity.
At this point you’re just making up nonsense to avoid admitting that you were wrong from the beginning.

Because even with weighted probabilities, they're still probabilities. If you have "the cat sat on the", and the next possible tokens are "mat" with a probability of 90%, "floor" with a probability of 9%, and "dog" at 1%, how are you going to pick "mat" 90% of the time without consulting a (P)RNG?

The US actually had more per capita (world rankings are US, China, UK, Germany), though they may be more _visible_ in the UK (particularly after the GDPR, there are differences in rules on covert surveillance). As I understand it, they're nearly all privately owned in both the US and UK, and their installation is driven more by insurance company requirements than anything else.
Companies generally use third party compensation benchmark tools like Radford, which are total garbage. They base comp off title, and these tools are stuck in the stone age (think 'programmer analyst' as a SWE). When recruiting and/or engineering decide to post a job, they need to consult HR, who don't know anything about tech hiring, so they'll just guess. This will result in a broad, inaccurate, or crappy range. This seems like a decent law for retail and lower skilled jobs, but I think it just creates confusion for tech/startups. Engineers/tech employees talk, and its evident in online forums, slack/discord groups, linkedin, etc. When I see people say they won't apply to a job w/o the band or will pass on the job if its low, I'd suggest you do your own research. See who the company employs. If they are hiring talent from companies known to pay big $$, the posted band is just a bureaucratic formality because nobody knows how to properly navigate it. Also, talk to recruiters - they know what people are getting paid.
