We've got plenty of hard problems to work out before we can haul off to Europa, at least with people. Solving those problems will be more impactful in the long run than whatever we might find there. I mean, you could drive to Alaska for an ice cream cone, but the fact that you can get one out of your fridge is more impactful to you personally. Also, I try not to get too caught up in imagining specifics. Often we overlook the valuable and surprising because we are looking for the wrong thing: the thing we expect to see.
If we haven't slipped that sounds pretty positive to me, better than anything else I've read in the news about our economy for a long time

Folks, this is exactly what htmx (and Phoenix LiveView and Laravel Livewire and Rails Hotwire) solves. OP was almost there but couldn't quite articulate this niche. Which is OK, we have the benefit of hindsight now.

Try htmx. It will blow you away with its simplicity compared to (today's) React. My personal recommendation: try it with dream-html, a library I wrote for expressing HTML directly in the language: https://github.com/yawaramin/dream-html (or some similar library).
> Earth collects 5000 tons of debri from space each year

That is a lot more than I would have guessed. I had thought that we were very slowly leaking precious resources by sending rockets into space, but I guess we're actually still gaining resources on average.

(At least, I don't think we're sending 5000 tons beyond the atmosphere every year).
> Even today we are pumping so many toxins in to the air to deliver a slower, less efficient, and more expensive form of transport.

Slower than what?
> * shortcut from off to recording video, immediately

Most Android phones will let you open the camera app with a double tap of the power button when locked, then you have to start recording manually, so it's a two step process. Sony has a dedicated camera button that opens the camera and can be configured to either take a photo or start recording immediately: https://sony-xperia-l.xphonehelp.com/en-us/camera/using-the-...

> * stop charging battery at 80% setting (no heuristics, AI, predictive BS).

Sony has that under their Battery care, you can set a custom stop percentage.

Yet people still maintain the popular fiction that corruption isn't that common in the large western countries, and that it's somehow more prevalent in the east. It's nonsense.

Everywhere there are large governments, there is huge corruption that is literally killing people so that others may be enriched without working as much.

I just went through a HUGE pain in the ass with my homeserver. I was on the Hetzner cloud plan and at the highest storage tier already. I had about 80 GB free, and setup sliding sync. It filled up the remaining space (unbeknownst to me) and my homeserver stopped working. Fortunately I was still able to login, but no disk space was available for the Postgres vacuum. I wound up having to rsync everything over to my desktop, setting up Docker on my desktop, running the compression tools on my desktop, and re-uploading. I now have a 20GB dummy file on that server.
There is an "engine"!entry in package.json, and a package manager should be smart enough to not upgrade past what it can. But people tend to not use that sort of dependency flexibility and use lock files…

The US military cannot do this effectively because our rules of engagement prevent collateral damage. The Mexicans have to do what El Salvador did, build a massive prison out in the middle of nowhere and essentially pick people up off the straight based on suspicion and ship them off. It has to be sudden and everywhere all at once.
YAML has newlines that indicate the end of a field... unless otherwise specified, which then gets into issues with line endings. Indents can also cause issues, considering a space inserted somewhere by accident can mess up your whole document. JSON and XML rely on specific tags for elements, which are much more reliable, and thus easier and faster to parse.

You can easily add comments to JSON spec, by just writing every parser going forward with the added comment parsing. It would read old JSON non commented files just fine.
Personally I think ternarys should die in a fire. I despise them. Like, of all the thing validly deserving of syntactic sugar... that's the case that's "important"? It's neither especially common, nor is the sugar very nice to read.

As soon as you need a 3rd leg you have to rewrite it as a full blown if/case/whatever anyway.
With those numbers, yes, that idiom is pretty much accurate.

About as accurate as saying that "if you see two children, it's pretty much guaranteed that they're not both girls".

That's not something that anyone would accept as accurate.

> Except water is H2O where the oxygen comes from plants and plants get it from water and the hydrogen comes from hydrocarbon fuels where the hydrogen comes from water again

I'm not a chemist, so I may be totally wrong here, but does a water molecule "care" where the source of its oxygen and hydrogen come from? If you brought oxygen from space, and hydrogen from space, couldn't you then create new water on Earth?
"An editor should be able to manage splits and tabs. It should have a basic concept of some kind of UI pop.."

Couldn't disagree more.

Of course, it is currently necessary for apps themselves to handle splits, tabs, etc, because the windowing systems and terminals are so lacking.

But in an ideal world, the windowing systems would handle all that consistently, and the apps could just focus on their own domain, interacting with the windowing system as necessary.
IMO: yes.

I've used both of these in my current role to make substantial improvements to our Solr search engine.

They include a good range of techniques between "quick wins you could implement and test in an hour" and "complex machine learning pipelines based on millions of data points".

AI Powered Search was probably the more interesting and useful but it's also a bit of a misnomer. Half of the techniques aren't related to AI (which is fine) and the half that are, are rapidly out of date. Semantic/vector search is now miles ahead of what the book talks about, with dense vector support in Solr/Elastic/Opensearch; sparse models; hybrid search/RRF... but I digress :)

If you're interested in how to improve the magic black box that is search, they're worthwhile reads.

Just remember that expectations are everything. There are no two books, or twenty books, that'll turn your out-of-the-box Solr instance into Google or Bing quality. But you can end up with a magic black box that serves much better results, which is nice!

After having the Switch and then bringing the 3DS on a trip recently.... I really miss the 3DS/Vita-size devices. I know there are emulators for things but there's something about games made for small screens and those form factors that are near perfect.

The PSP and Vita were already steps towards the Switch in a sense ("powerful handheld" meaning suddenly PS2-level games were available portably), and the Switch kind of pushing the limits of what people accept as portable devices means that there's almost no market pressure to go back to a small thing. But when you hold a 3DS and realize how easy it is on the move, it makes me wistful.

I would mention the Game Boy Micro as well but that thing is not meant for anyone over the age of 30.

Yeah exactly, which is why I always recommend DSLs that embed HTML directly in the language. E.g. https://com-lihaoyi.github.io/scalatags/ or (my own) https://github.com/yawaramin/dream-html

They make writing HTML a breeze with the full power of the programming language available.

These polyfills aren't just large, they're also slow because they never use the native implementation. The good news is that you can replace them all with "overrides" in package.json. That's what nolyfill (https://github.com/SukkaW/nolyfill) does. Oh, and of course the README mentions ljharb.

Yes having a job almost guarantees a positive contribution to society.

Fossil fuels are the lifeblood of modern humanity, without it we'll still be share cropping for feudal lords (if we are lucky).

What you're getting at here is regulations that... increase the competitiveness of a market. Which does imply something about the preexisting competitiveness of that market, and was the reason for that caveat.

Competitive markets are what keep prices down, and you need a regulatory environment that facilitates them. The trouble is you can't even say things like "food safety regulations increase competition by rendering unknown sources trustworthy" because it depends on both details and context. You could easily have food safety regulations that impose high overhead and drive small providers out of business, or different market dynamics that provide an alternate way for customers to evaluate trustworthiness.

And each attempt is an opportunity to make a mistake and do the opposite of what you intended -- or the exact thing the incumbents wanted and lobbied for. It has to be done with care, and rarely in only cases of great need, because it's so easy to screw up. And then competition can't fix it, because regulations are enforced by a monopoly. Which is where we are now, in all too many cases.
The amount of activity and progress in the LLM/ML/AI spaces is truly fantastic. Optimizations like this are particularly valuable when hardware (e.g. Nvidia) is so expensive.
That depends. Narita and Hiroshima airports are both in rural areas - the farmers are still mad about Narita.
And I roll my eyes at comments like this.

There's a huge difference of usability between different water sources. You can't irrigate your orchards with salt water from the ocean. You can't bathe in waste water from most manufacturing plants. You can't drink ground water that has been contaminated by fracking.

There is a finite amount of potable water. There is a finite amount of usable water for agriculture. Pointing at all of the water on earth and acting as if it's all immediately usable without significant, costly barriers is silly.

I wonder if the thought process even goes that far. Oftentimes, the motive seems more like self-conscious social pressures, e.g., fear of embarrassment.

The 3DS 3D effect really didn't work at all for people with strong prescriptions. Because most glasses will distort your edge of view with different wavelengths at different intensities, the effect totally falls apart.

For the longest time this effect was super intense for me for the 3DS power light, and it made it look like the light from the power LED was just piercing through the case of the 3DS, while the cutout for the LED was almost pitch black.

(for people with glasses and iPhones: look at your homescreen, look at a notification dot. Put the phone at the edge of your field of view. Notice the number dance around in the space. Works with Discord notification dots on a desktop screen as well).
I've always disliked 100% more being twice as much. And I hate 7000% being seven times as much. Gone up 100% vs now 200% bigger.. way confusing.

"It's double"

Spurious use of % is Hard.

Fractions can be more comprehensible than decimals half as big vs 0.5 can you really be confident 0.00125 is a meaningful value applied to 2mm? Its less than 1% bigger.. approximations are useful.

I bet more people know what a right angle is than know its 90° or the equivalent in radians
I can now say that unless you are still, at this very moment, under "launch duress" it's just the site's steady state because it still takes exactly 1.68 seconds to load the first link of that site, and 1.89 seconds to load the /replies endpoint on it, and -- as I thought I helpfully pointed out -- clicking that link does nothing for almost 2 seconds, leading the user to believe it's borked

I'm glad you have spent all this energy reinventing ruby on rails based forums, but this is not the way

or, actually, in the spirit of being constructive: what is your experience clicking on those links? does it shows some loading indicator for you? does it load faster than 2 seconds for you?
There are a number of circuit breakers in VictoriaMetrics that limit the number of time series/datapoints in queries to limit CPU/RAM usage. These can be tweaked with the -search.max* command line flags. I think the default query limits for data points per series are 30M and number of series is 300K.

What do you consider reasonable cardinalities or a true TSDB?
Kagi really is good. I blew through the 300-search plan in like 2 weeks, then upgraded to the $10/1000-search plan. I've been following them on discord. They've been pretty upfront about everything, and they meet their projects. So today I upgraded to the $25/mo Ultimate plan because I want them to succeed. DDG never did it, bing never did it, but I really think Kagi is a runner.
I'm thinking also about switching for some of the reasons you mentioned, but I learned thanks to you there are more good reasons.

SMS works. I think you meant iMessage, didn’t you? That’s not a messaging incompatibility. That’s just a messaging platform that is only supposed to work on Apple devices nowhere else.

I assume you’re from USA (because nowhere else I’ve known people to universally adopt a messaging platform that works only one kind of hardware). You know there are and where messaging options that don’t even discriminate based on what OS you’re from.
This is like asking, "why do you need a touch screen or internet on a phone in the first place? Neither are needed to make phone calls. Isn't a phone just fine as a standalone thing?"

It's not 2005 anymore, a phone has all the computing power that most people need. In fact, most laptops are just phone boards these days. It's completely reasonable to ask that your hardware not be artificially limited by the software it's running so they can sell you a separate device that does the rest of what you need.

In a perfect world, my phone is a supercomputer capable of doing everything I'll ever want in a fraction of a second. And the thing standing between my current phone and a perfect phone shouldn't be my insistence on having a separate giant desktop taking up more space than is necessary.
You are wrong that prices falling prior to deregulation proves that deregulation wasn't a factor in declining prices. A graph of numbers showing decreasing costs measures purely quantitative factors. The trend continuing completely excludes qualitative factors, of which you must understand to properly understand what is going on.
For example, the article says that what was expected to happen was that costs would fall because there would be an influx of hundreds of competitors. That in itself is a misunderstanding of qualitative factors. Imagine there being 100 different airlines. More than half of them would be incompetent. The correct qualitative understanding of the situation is that deregulation allows the most competent airlines to consolidate/buy underperforming ones. Did service really get worse? Or is the difference really just that these airlines are now able to transport way more people at a cheaper cost because they are no longer catering to smokers who like to leer at PANAM blondes in short skirts?

Also, regulation around marijuana has not decreased prices. This is obvious because in places where marijuana is now decriminalized people still prefer to buy from illegal sellers... because it is cheaper.

Oh, that's a shame. Luiz was one of the nicest people I met at Google and his tech contributions were excellent. He also promoted "roofshots over moonshots", which was a philosophy badly needed.
We’re also giving this a shot. The annual Splunk bill at our last startup exploded from $10k to $1M when we reached 1TB of logs generated per day, which is actually an easy threshold to hit when you have decent traction and aren’t proactively reducing logs. So we built Scanner.dev to drop these costs by 10x.

Decoupling compute and storage is definitely the way to go. We’re using Lambda functions and ECS Fargate containers for compute that scales up and down rapidly, and S3 for storage. Getting ~1TB/sec log scan speeds, which feels fairly good. We keep sparse indices in S3 to narrow down regions of logs to scan. Eg. if you’re searching for an IP address that appears 10 times in a 25TB log set, the indices reduce the search space to around 300MB. Takes a few seconds to complete that query, whereas Athena and CloudWatch take like 20 minutes.

We’re also using Rust to maximize memory efficiency and speed - there are lots of great SIMD optimized string search and regex libraries on crates.io.

We’re early, so there are a lot of SIEM features like detection rules that we are still building. But Splunk/DataDog users might find it useful if costs are a problem and they use mostly log search:
