Try to take yourself back to 1960. No human has ever once been in orbit. In fact it was only 3 years ago that we put the first object into orbit. Over the next 2 years we'd finally put a man in orbit. 7 years later we'd be walking on the Moon. A year later - 1970, we had the first spacecraft soft-land on another planet. And the planet it landed on was Venus! [1] The voyager probes would be launched in 1977, and eventually make their way outside the solar system after doing a pinball effect of gravity assists around the solar system.

Where do you see society in 50 years?

That state-of-the-art is still sending rovers to Mars and hoping to achieve a fly-by of the Moon is nothing short of a complete and catastrophic failure in space. People often blame the money, that's not it. The Apollo program, in 2022 dollars, cost about $16 billion a year - starting from absolutely 0 knowledge. NASA's had at least that level of annual funding for the past 60 years. The thing, these great futures we all imagine don't create themselves. Without people, the sort of people who rarely emerge in a society, pushing humanity forward in any given direction, the future isn't going to be any better than the present, and there's every reason to think it may even be worse.

And “your code” is probably a tiny part of the entire enterprises architecture. The average enterprise has 250+ SaaS dependencies. Do you really think the CTO of a large organization is staying up late at night because a developer chose to use DynamoDB and didn’t put a facade over it to “avoid lock-in”?
Commercial microwaves often don't have turntables. What they have - based on observation of a single one I took apart once - is a "scatter wheel" in the roof of the chamber, that spins just by air movement from the cooling fan, and reflects the microwave energy this way and that.

But that produces a stationary pattern (averaged over a rotation). Depending on where your food item is, some spot in it may never actually get high power energy if the overall scatter pattern is weak there. Actually rotating the food through a stationary pattern is likely to provide better coverage.

This is not proved. It is possible to set up an experiment to prove it. But it's reconciled me to the idea of the turntable. Also, consumer microwave turntables have, in my experience, been reliable.
You forgot to mention self-driving cars and SpaceX

I want it... but they aren't fooling me again. Bought a 3960x on TRX40 expecting an upgrade path, but alas, it never came. The socket before that got at least one refresh.

Not an inspiring track record. Disappointing considering how long the regular consumer sockets last
Both self upvote and creating X accounts are form of manipulation. If vote manipulation is bad, then why r u ok with artifical increase of users?

Artifical users on dating apps are OK?

Im aware, so thats why probably ppl here are ok with those manipulative practices used to bootstrap.
I have a lot of elderly relatives and their Xfinity bills for tv and internet are around $250/mo

If they would call and cancel, a routine we used to do, it can drop as low as like $99 for a year or so

> provision and de-provision instantly via an API

But that is literally not possible with hardware you purchase yourself.

Sure, you can buy X amount of hardware, and provision up to X amount of virtual hardware via an API, but then what? You can't provision any more until you go and buy more hardware. This is why "cloud, but local" is a contradiction IMO. You can only be "cloud-like" if you're under-provisioning. The moment you want to actually use all of the capacity you already paid for, you're not a cloud any more, because you've provisioned all of it.

No elasticity, no cloud.
Ouch I didn't know Tuist had gone partially closed source. Wonder what's the root cause behind this, the linked PR only mentions "recent actions proved us wrong"

I do use XcodeGen a whole lot, I wonder if it's going to get a lot more attention now that Tuist's pulling this.
Oh, yes, absolutely. I fuzz religiously.

In fact, in my current project, I add every single path found by AFL++ to my test suite. It tests all kinds of terrible things, and then those paths are tested forever.

I even run all the paths AFL++ finds through the sanitizers and Valgrind.
Totally agree; I don't trust them for a minute. If they were so about right to repair we would be able to easily change our batteries in our Apple devices but we all know that that is super difficult if possible at all.
You've clearly never used Apple Support because they are by far the best support I've ever used and their size makes it even more impressive. You can get a human incredibly fast.
The US is just printing money like there is no tomorrow. Just look at their deficit its now approaching 2 TRILLION USD. No wonder their GDP "grew".
Actually yes now you remind me, SQL Server doesn't recognise Rand() as non-determinstic but it does recognise some functions as being non-deterministic, e.g. if you use newid() you get a new value for every row
Just marketing fluff. It's a rack mounted server. Nothing "world's first" about it.
Compare the cost of the payload and the launch vehicle. Those aren't even comparable.

Worst case estimate for a single Ariane 5: 200 million €.

Average launch cost for Space X: 50 million € (poorly researched I know)

The cost of the James Webb space telescope?

50 worst case Ariane 5 launches or 200 Space X launches.

I don't think the launch vehicle matters here.
GDP numbers like this are adjusted both for CPI and for seasonal savings. So by any metric that is agreed upon by economists, yes it is growing at a great clip.

I'm curious what aspects of inflation you think are not covered by CPI. I see lots of pessimism from people that is not because of their own experience or any numbers that they can point to, and I'm always curious why. For me, it's housing. I want to move to a bigger house but there's almost nothing on the market, and the very few houses in the market at absolutely astronomical prices relative to mortgage cost.
if i buy a device from a startup, why should they be exempt from providing service manuals, batteries, etc, if they haven’t, say, made enough profit from the device first?

frankly, it’s the smaller players who are more likely to go under, like Vanmoof, where as the consumer i’m MORE in need of the right to repair it myself.

I’ve run into this personally with a Rapsodo golf launch monitor with a faulty battery, where i attempted to replace it myself. I couldn’t find the battery online and the company refused to sell me just the battery. They said i had to buy a new device.
That sounds like an attempt to erase non-government-approved culture to me.
It's a fair point! I would certainly trust the opinion of Bryan Cantrill over my own as well.
You forgot the two most important ones. Stop buying US treasuries/bonds and stop using USD for international transactions.
SQL Server doesn't have boolean literals like that, hence the (1=0) trick
Not OP, but why use a tool that is much slower than another tool, just because the old one is older.

Old tech has its place, but I can get e.g a caddyfile that works for me quicker with ChatGPT than in any other way.

Linux and git were examples I was thinking of. He could still have made them, but most of their value relies on interactions with commercial offerings. Not to mention technology financed on the back of taxed profits. And their availability to regular people (notice how I talked about "making technology available at scale") would be diminished beyond belief.

But yes, people make the most incerdible stuff without being paid to do so.
Their approach is one aspect I like about the United States

basically what we have here is a California set of laws that they’re more okay with, and a Minnesota set of laws they dont like, so they’re using the opportunity of interest from the White House to get California’s law passed by Congress to render the Minnesota one redundant and ignorable before that one's idea spreads

What I like about the US is that you can do the same on anything, while still operating within a familiar framework in comparison to a different country

At the state level, for business if the case law in Delaware isn't your favorite, you can literally just go argue for the opposite in Wyoming. They have a chancery court too.

It still is a land of opportunity, as long as you’re willing to warp the universe of opportunities yourself.

This is mostly done to not suffocate small companies.

A bad analogy if I may, we have less expectations with kids than with adults.
Small airplanes only require one pilot, even operating commercially, so in some senses, yes, smaller airlines are afforded some leeway.
does this account for government deficit spending? Because we are adding nearly 2 trillion to the deficit this year alone, around 8% of GDP.

The numbers I see coming out about the state of the economy just seem more and more out of sync with reality on the ground. Legit 5% GDP growth should mean a booming economy with people feeling good, yet people are struggling to cover their basic needs and pessimism seems high. I work remote so I see this in both the bubble of the tech world and in the "real world" outside of tech
That's handy to know for the future. At the moment we have plenty of infrastructure built around Python notebooks, things like Colab, so not really feasible here I think.
“The blend of people from different layers of society is getting higher,” Thomas Monberg, a member of Parliament and the Social Democrats’ spokesman for housing, said in an email response to questions. He said the government acted because it could not afford to “wait until people are killing each other in gang wars.”

Notable things here. It's considered an experiment by the Danish, which shows unusual humility, since it might fail. It is a Social Democrat experiment, which is surprising because I imagine the knee-jerk reaction from the American left will be to descry forcing "non-white" people to do anything against their will. The policy's stated purpose is to avoid much worse outcome down the line. What data showed them that gang wars were coming? And who/ can we use as a control group to see if the Danish government has done the right thing? It brings up an interesting question about assimilation and how much can be or should be demanded of immigrants by the host nation.
I run things at a mid sized company and I get AWS emails like this daily. There's always something that needs attention. Except sometimes it doesn't really need attention. Other times it's something absolutely critical. Sometimes can't tell unless I read 50 pages of documentation and talk to their support.

Meanwhile at my old job, we had actual servers and vms in house. We had a machine running some obscure service sitting in a corner for two decades with no problems. Magical.
Many of these people are either permanent residents or have Danish nationality.
They do serve the same purpose: they find defects.

But I also didn't define "subpar" for a test suite; the SQLite guys have full-coverage testing. That's probably the line for "subpar," and (almost) nobody else actually has that.
This is a turn-key solution, ready to use without eventually dealing with multiple devices with its own firmware and caveats revealing after where put to work together.
The closest to that is that AWS managed rack that works with the web APIS you know already
Yep. I can't remember method names for the life of me, which is why my best experiences have been with Go and Java: The IDE (always Jetbrains) knows, via the type system, what methods I can call.
I am CTO of a large global data center provider posting with throwaway account.

As a technologist, I really appreciate what they have done. Impressive work, high quality, however I don't understand who this is for.

The meaningful market for Data Center hardware is pretty well defined in two clusters. People that build/make custom gear (such as Hyperscalers) and people that buys HP/Cisco/IBM/Dell... (blades or hyper-converged). To scale, you obviously want your DCs as standardized as possible.

Until this company has a certain/size and scale, no one serious will trust their black boxes at any type of scale.

Beyond the tech, how would support services really work? We can have a technician from any of the large vendors on-site in less than 2 hours. In some of our DC clusters we actually have vendor support personnel 24x7 on-site with vendor paid spare parts inventory. How would they provide that level of service?

Maybe I am not the target audience for this offering.

And

- Hey, I found that someone created crates at a rate of about one every 30 seconds for a period of a week straight.

- That's not sufficient proof of squatting.

Whoever answered that, was either supporting the squatter or explicitly in favor of the practice. I cannot conceive that someone would get that evidence in their hands, and in their right mind think that the claim is bogus. Hell, I'd even be willing to suppress the squatter with evidence of one new crate created every 30 seconds for one hour!

The only reasonable conclusion to make is that they didn't really care. But then don't save face and claim that you do. That's hypocrisy.
The problem isn't purely solvable by the number of rockets we can produce. Mars is wildly inhospitable with the majority of the soil being poisoned by perchlorates, it's a convenient source of oxygen but it also means the soil needs to be processed before we could even start to use it as a substrate for crops.

Fundamentally the issue with long term Mars habitation is that any technology that allows us to live on Mars full time without support from Earth would make even the wildest 'destroyed' Earths livable. The only thing Mars gives you is there's not going to be people beating on the outside of your trillion dollar dome trying to get in.
I'm willing to admit that is likely, could you enlighten me?

I've done professional c++ for a couple decades. My pipelines usually were conan with some dependencies that were not. The used clang tidy and format, san, cppcheck, coverity and tested release and debug builds with clang and gcc. Coverage was sometimes just clang. But sometimes gcc as well. Tests were usually google test. The team standard IDE was vscode.

Rust has rustfmt which is one standard. It has clippy which in addition to actual defects it forces commin idioms so code looks familiar. It has san and llvm coverage. It has miri. It supports aflop for fuzzing. And it has a single tool for package management and build. Edit: IDE is still vscode and it works great.

The only tooling missing for rust would be formal analysis, which is in work (and which isn't that great a story on c++ either) and gcc. A gcc front end is in work, and there is mrustc to generate c from rust, but yes, gcc front end support would be nice to get all those extra targets without the extra work.
The Real GDP of 4.9% is both seasonally adjusted and inflation adjusted. Nominal GDP was 8.5%.

I was referring to the "give way to the right" theory, not the roundabout theory. Which you also must give way to your right.

If humans are involved, of course there are problems, because humans are error prone, the question is if its a problem, which from my limited experience of 30 years of driving is not a significant problem in Australia.
Perhaps a little causation could be added to each point.

How does kicking out the US army improve GDP?

Which sanctions are causing the problem?

Which US wars are impeding growth?

The economy seems to be a black box. Understanding how to turn the knobs is so much guesswork. At least it appears that way.
The reason to prefer a conference type app in VR over AR is likely due to bandwidth, it takes a huge amount of data to cover an entire space from every possible angle at a retina like resolution, perhaps AI can be of use here in the future. The avatar generation/scanning is being worked on and Meta are not releasing this until it has been streamlined.

Academic speak has always been bad, and judging from this article it is only getting worse. Tone it down. I shouldn't need a Rosetta Stone to decipher your paper.

Also, the levels of abstractions, built upon abstractions, and wrapped in other abstractions is also getting silly; Gatsby Curve, Gini, citations and publication database...
Huawei is obviously taunting the US with the Mate 60. They want further sanctions at this point as it gives them exclusivity in the very large domestic market (and it appears other markets as well).

The large Chinese purchase of DUV machines is a stop gap until local alternatives are ready. Likely fairly soon.

Otherwise Huawei and friends would bide for more time and focus on non-visible but critical products and not a mass produced phone.
Yes, GDP by definition includes government spending.

I agree that GDP is a poor measure of “on the ground” experience, but not sure what that has to do with deficit spending.
People always seem shocked to learn that capitalism is completely and absolutely indifferent to morals, ethics, or human life
Please don't attach any morals to this because there aren't any.

This is the way to think about all businesses. Even if they’ve been making your favourite products for years, never forget that they’re just here to make money.

People who attach morals, norms, and emotions to businesses are falling into the marketing trap. This is by design. Unfortunately I don’t know much of a way to get people to snap out of it other than seeing them get burned when their favourite company changes tack.
OAuth is usually overkill, period.

There are only two real use cases for the complexity of OAuth.

1. SAAS model and you're allowing your customers to use their own IDP

2. You really and truly have a lot of disparate internal systems that need SSO.

And 2 generally has better solutions.

Maybe you were. :-) And maybe this is not for you or me (I haven't contacted their sales, yet) it's not for everyone.

Personally, I have always been annoyed that the BIOS is clunky and every change requires a reboot, taking several minutes. As computers got faster over the years, this has gotten worse, not better. At the core of cloud economics is elasticity: don't pay for a service that you don't use. Wouldn't it be great to power down an idle server, knowing that it can be switched on seconds before you actually need it?
In practice, that means thousands of apartments will be demolished, sold to private investors or replaced with new housing catering to wealthier (and often nonimmigrant) residents, to increase the social mix.

It sounds like this is already answered...
>Apple really can’t win. Oppose RtR. Gets criticized. Complies with RtR. Also gets criticized. LOL

Wrong, they can just do i

- publish schematics for everyone (not only approved partners)

- publish diagnostic software for everyone

- sell repair tools and spare parts to everyone

- allow legit users to use their broken devices parts for spare parts by providing ways for the owner to transfer ownership or renounce ownership claim over the device.

- actually offer repair services instead of pretending soem small issue is unfix able and the user should buy a new device sicne repalcing the motherboard costs as much as a new device.

- admit immediately where there is an hardware problem not only after they are forced by the justice system (at least we would avoid those annoying HN Apple fanboys that were rudely accusing people with the keyboard problem that they are putting food or drink on those keyboards and claimed Apple super paid engineers would have caught any problem with their SciFi robot hands that they use to test their keyboards, no joke, so many fanboys were defending Apple in that period)
I used the same trick recently where a long power outage had me staying at my relatives until power was restored. My answering machine doesn't work without power but the phone does so if it doesn't pick up I know the power is out.

Since the central office switch is usually powered by generators I was used to the phone always working even during outages. But I found that the landline phone only stays functional for only a day now. I believe the deployment of fiber to the node means there are battery backups at the nodes that only last that long.
I was about to correct you saying "icloud.com works on any browser, even an Android phone", but then I went and looked and you can't locate AirTags (or people) using the Web version of Find My, just Apple devices. An odd omission on Apple's part.
That backwards compatibility strategy to update defaults on new versions while leaving existing the same is to avoid the scenario you're complaining about by not changing behavior for existing customers.
I guess your question is the gist of my point. The Apple Newton is a great touchpoint as it points in a particular direction, but it was 1) the wrong form factor, 2) too expensive, 3) emphasized the wrong features. Still, it pointed a clear direction.

From Newton to iPhone is 15+ years, but it's not totally unreasonable to consider the Osborne 1 with an acoustic coupler to be the real starting line, given its popularity as a portable comms computer, and really iPhone 3G/3GS is probably a better "we've arrived" point than the first iPhone.

Of course, VR tech could be "started" much earlier than the current fad. However, I think DK1 was Osborne 1 in terms of the technology meeting the needs of the medium, maybe Newton-level on the timeline if you're already a VR enthusiast and have enthusiast blinders on. That was 2013, only 10 years ago. Theres still underlying tech that isn't totally "there" in terms of supporting the "right" VR experience, but most people who have tried any modern headset can feel the potential. It's like using a Windows Mobile from 2003; it feels like a glimpse of an inevitable future, even though you can simultaneously recognize that it's time has not yet come.
