I don't think it's got anything to do with Haskell 2010. Haskell is far more widely used in industry today than in 2010 by at least an order of magnitude. Heck, Mercury alone has about 250 Haskell programmers I think. That's probably more industry Haskell programmers than there were at all in 2010.
Really? What about people not in the in-group, not in your tribe?
I’d theorize it has something to do with whether the separation actually makes sense. Berkshire Hathaway owns separate businesses that have zero to do with each other and may spin off or bring in new ones anytime. Sears had different departments of the same store trying to beggar each other which is counterproductive.
OpenAI board f’d around and found out the consequences of their poor decisions. The decision to back pedal from previous position just shows the level of disconnect between these 2 entities.

If I was an investor. I would be scared.
On laptops it usually works. I would not recommend any BLE pointer devices .. they usually suck. Probably same with keyboards. Chipsets which are going to attempt to share the radio between Bluetooth and WiFi tend to fail miserably at this which can lead to bad Bluetooth performance and thus noticeable delays with keyboards and pointing devices.

It's really terrible in cars in connection with android. I assume because no one tests older cars with newer phones.

Android Auto works most of the time when it doesn't change the UI language to french.. but it's not wireless.

I just want Bluetooth to die already and get replaced with something simpler that is designed to interoperate and is actually good at this.
You act as if we have no agency here. Google doesn't own the Internet and Google's ad needs shouldn't determine the future of the Internet. That you so easily concede Google's ultimate authority is sad to me.
The enormous majority of CEOs sit on their board, and that's absolutely proper, as the CEO sets the agenda for the organization. (Although they typically are merely one of 8+ members, diluting their influence a bit.)
The article doesn’t even try to make the case for the headline or lead, what a bizarre piece. The OpenAI drama is the biggest case for Twitter supremacy in months.
>I literally said it supports exhaustive pattern matching which adds a level of safety and flexibility superior to that of type script.

I don't have an opinion on which language is superior here, I've never written typescript or even javascript before, but I think saying that python's type system/checkers is superior because of this one feature is not correct.

I'm also skeptical of the claim that typescript doesn't support exhaustive branching. This very well could be true but it seems hard to believe.

I'm a big fan of exhaustive branching, but I think there are other things that are as or more important.
All our fire trucks are fitted with isolation switches. We either leave the engine idling, or we stop the engine then physically disconnect the batteries. The reason is that all the radios and gear drain the battery so quickly without the engine running. Having a hybrid style setup that cut the engine in or out as required when stopped on scene would be awesome.
What are the units for the x-axis? I'm assuming milliseconds from context, but not having the axis labeled obfuscates the interpretation.

GP didn't speak of betraying people; he spoke of betraying their own statements. That just means doing what you said you wouldn't; it doesn't mean anyone was stabbed in the back.
The lower-level wasm-based model (namely, Towards a Modern Web Stack) does give devs absolute power. Every company has full power to have their code do whatever they want on a computer. .

And what a sick abominable horrible thing that would be for the world.

Industrial absolutism definitely has some enticement & draws; you the dev/company have total power & control!

But heavens it sounds like an infernal wicked thing to do, to replace consensus of protocols and standards with each company deciding for themselves how each computer works.

Letting every corporation do low level engineering of their own app platform removes the possibility of inter-working different systems. It is that we have a shared medium that user agency rides atop, that what understandability we have springs from. This is a wildly radical zero-sum pro-corporate wholesale replacement of the interoperable internet with corporate crafted special sauce. It makes the only malleable soft thing in the tech world about us unobservable & indecipherable.

I dream of more than the internet as a delivery platform for closed inaccessible unintelligible illegible foreign systems. Instead of having protocols and standards and media, instead of having a user agent and extensions: what the user experiences would all be dynamic code, it's own engine. It's all a live running self defining universe. No app will have any similarity or prarallel to any other, nor expose hooks; the interface becomes non-distinct, a perfect opaque barrier to the user. Each app brings it's own universe with it, that's what low-level means, and I don't know how user agency or internetworking survive that descent to lower shadowier realms.

It is wild that the long long time HTML editor has decided that RFC8890 The Internet Is For End Users can be shot into the sun, that has decided standards and protocols and specifications aren't worth doing and that industrial supremacy is above all, is the only thing that matters.

There's a long history of the Hixie et Al's Towards a Modern Web Stack being submitted, https://hn.algolia.com/?query=towards%20a%20modern%20web%20s... . Not a huge update here, just a commitment that Hixie is still on this quest after leaving Google.
I haven’t seen the data, though it should be possible to figure it out from the GSS. The Gallup data shows a moderate dip in the percentage of people who want three or more kids from 18-29 (52%) and
30-49 (42%). https://news.gallup.com/poll/511238/americans-preference-lar.... That could be partly a decrease in ideal family size during the period when people are parents. But it could also be ethnic differences: the 30-49 generation is whiter than the 18-29 generation. Only 41% of whites want 3 or more kids, versus 53% of hispanics and 57% of blacks.

In my observation it’s often the opposite. My wife didn’t want any kids when we first met, then wanted one immediately, then was sad after we decided to stop at three.

Having spent a vast amount of time reading comments, there certainly is. HN can frequently become an echo chamber, though pretends not to be; and has very clear favorite tech darlings and near-immovable, predefined villains (Google being one of them).

> "...depending on Microsoft to have the good will to figure it out on their own dime."

They don't have to figure it out on their own; everybody maintains close contact. For example, Intel has a field office literally one block away from Microsoft's main campus.
One would assume AMD also has a field office similarly near by. (EDIT: they do, a couple of blocks further.)
Like many hotshot young entrepreneurs, it is possible Sam learnt a lot from the firing and has done a 180 to go on to supporting others (seen by his support from OpenAI rank-and-file). He probably needed that life lesson (getting fired) to grow.
You provide some insight. I agree that these patterns exist and are meaningful.

But I see them in the climate change people too.
When did this become a boy-girlfriend issue?
I can't imagine anyone would pay for such a thing. It's a product without a market. People want the VMWare experience, Red Hat just refuses to build it.
> Her understanding of what her teams are doing is minimal at best; she frequently makes requests that are completely incoherent and inapplicable. She treats engineers as commodities in a way that is dehumanising, reassigning people against their will in ways that have no relationship to their skill set.

I worked under a VP at a job once who was exactly like this when I was a manager. Truly one of the most demoralizing experiences; always trying to do the best for the people under you and sheild them from this kind of nonsense, but in middle management you can only do so much sigh.
I use JavaScript obfuscation[1] on my website and get very low amount of spam.

Thanks, but I'm sticking to Twitter (Screw that, I'm not calling it "X") and HN has proved pretty useful for tech drama, er breaking news

I have to quibble on this one for technical correctness. These denoisers remove detail, not add them. The assumption is that you should have flat and even areas, not finely pixelated areas.
this happened to me as well. I had repos, I was even approved members of several large scale open source projects. Just did not have to do anything related to GitHub for a few years. Turns out they renamed me and gave my name to someone else upon request. My links to various repos in my github scattered around the internet (with the old username) still works (so I assume, the new owner can't create repos with the same names). Don't know why GitHub goes through all those hoops to allow this to be honest (yes I'm salty). Like if it was just a registration and empty account that is understandable but they renamed an account full of repos and memberships and their infrastructure supports keeping old links active etc. Just weird.
Started using Firefox when it was still Phoenix, never stopped. Few years ago when they made Quantum, Firefox is awesome performance-wise: I can have hundreds of tabs open (with +- 50-90 always active), with no crashing (before Quantum, Firefox needed restarting once in a while). Chrome simply cannot handle that and consumes so much RAM.
Red Hat used to offer Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) - based on oVirt - but they killed that at approximately the same time this VMware deal was announced (supposedly coincidentally).

Now they bolted on virtual machines onto their OpenShift container platform and are pushing that.
This! It is frustrating that web apps like draw.io can't save to file directly using Firefox. It gets old having to save a new file every time you make a change.

Beyond that, the File System API would also allow for streamed downloads directly from the web-app. This would allow for web-apps to generate large download files without having to store a copy on a database (external server or IndexedDB), which is a privacy improvement. The only way to do this now is by using convoluted techniques to essentially do a MITM to a fake endpoint [1].

It depends on your motivations and goals, but if you're trying to optimize for maximum net worth, maxing tax advantaged accounts probably makes sense for most people.

* IRA contributions (but not growth) can be withdrawn without penalty anytime (though you'll need to pay normal income taxes if you contributed to a traditional IRA.)

* You can pay for health expenses out of pocket and reimburse yourself later from your HSA contributions. So the money deposited pre-tax can continue to grow and compound, and if you need it later and have incurred expenses, you can pull it out without penalty.

* Any contribution to a traditional (pre-tax) IRA or 401k avoids taxes now, but you'll pay them later when you withdraw. If you withdraw during retirement, you'll be withdrawing some or that money to fill up the standard deduction, meaning you paid 0% tax. That's a huge incentive to contribute.

These tax advantaged accounts are generally not best for money you'll need in the next couple years, but the strategies I mentioned above can make them marginally more accessible.
Being in a car is not being outdoors. You're literally behind a door.
That's what the AI robots will use as an explanation when they have f*cked us up. :-)
I'm not sure how that drives monopolies though. All you've explained is how it lowers the barriers to market, but it does so for all companies, competitors included.
Self-hosting your email doesn't really change anything, though. You've taken away control from Google but gave it to ICAN, the administrator of your TLD, your domain registrar, and to some extend your DNS and email providers. The domain registrar is the most likely to intervene directly and take your domain away for no good reason, but ICAN and your TLD owner can set policies that affect you (like suddenly raising prices or making you ineligible to own the domain unless you demonstrate proof of citizenship of a certain country.) All of the above have happened before. Sure, right now Google does such things a lot more often than registrars do, but this might change at any moment, so such a solution is very far from a silver bullet.

Even a hypothetical blockchain-based DNS solution wouldn't solve the problem completely, it would place responsibility solely in your own hands, but failing to secure your private keys appropriately would have similar (if not worse) consequences.

Deprecation notice: security advisories in private repositories
Is this what I need? We have ad hoc business processes like:

1. Sell service to client

2. Email client with scheduling info

3. Agree to scheduling date with client

4. Send client email with documentation and request their data

5. Remind client to send data

6. Alert admins data hasn't been received

7. Beat data out of client

8. Prepare data

9. QA and checkoff service

10. Email client to review and approve

11. Publish/run service

12. Send client stats/results

And I want to move that from spreadsheets, personal emails and admins keeping in their head where everything is at, to web forms and uploads, automated emails and dashboards. I looked at airtable, smartsheet, budibase and many others but they seem to be very project-based, where you are inventing a unique workflow for each project and using it to keep managers on top of where their team is at with the various steps. Project Management vs process management. None of them seem to have decent calendar integration. Few of them seem to be great about emails or scheduled scripts.

I have APIs for my data, or I can code them if needed. I'd prefer a low-code to a no-code approach, where managers have a spreadsheet view and can do some of of the UI work and programmers can make it do stuff and handle integrations.
Proxmox seems to be working great, including backups
I'll stick with GoPro even though Insta360 has provided me with their cameras. GoPro's official APIs are just too good to switch.
wow this ticks so many boxes for me, really cool !

As usual xkcb is accurate. The different protocols which Bluetooth is made of are very complex and IMHO error prone to implement and test against each other.

Sometimes I get the impression that people keep on developing Bluetooth when it would make more sense to restart from scratch.
But to me, Oracle is the canonical example of getting nerds while they're young.

In university, I had access to Oracle databases, Oracle manuals, Oracle Linux, etc. Not through some special university approved lab set up - I could just go and download them. Even their acquired software like PeopleSoft etc.

I had NONE of that for DB2 or AIX, for example.

And their respective market share, I believe based on no evidence but strong belief, belies that strategy.

(disclaimer, I guess - I work for IBM, but ironically as an Oracle consultant... the early access really did work :-)

How AI will ultimately affect humanity is uncertain, so the stewardship of an extremely influential company in that field will be of general interest.

The specific reason for the board shenanigans seems to be related to this tension on how AI will or won’t be handled by the management of the tech companies which create and manage them.

All of these feels very relevant to the general public.

VirutalBox is a barebones type 2 hypervisor with only basic orchestration, backup, networking, management features, if any.

ESXi and the VMWare products built on top of it (vCenter/vSphere) are not even comparable to VB, other than that they both can run virtual machines. vSphere can move running VMs between storage or compute hosts without interruption, can failover between storage or compute, can failover between networking outages (thanks to virtual switches and the ecosystem of hardware support around it), and provides a platform for additional third party add ons for automated backups and recovery. Not to mention easy role based SSO access. My entire university's infrastructure was virtualized on VMWare aside from a few domain controllers and the Netapp storage clusters it all ran on, and the equally large Linux/KVM infrastructure and the HPC datacenter that ran a bunch of other stuff for...reasons (higher ed is fun). And as an added bonus, desktop type 2 hypervisors like Workstation or Fusion integrate perfectly into it. I used to manage a dozen Windows and Linux VMs straight from VMWare Fusion on my Mac and still do at home in my little VMUG cluster.

It's like comparing a Chevy Spark to an aircraft carrier, except you built an entire medium to large sized organization's infrastructure on top of it. You can't just switch overnight unless you want to stop making money for a while. For most orgs who can justify the already steep price, moving away from VMWare onto something else will mean multiple years long projects requiring thousands of person-hours to complete, redundant efforts (as the old stuff can't just go away until the new stuff is battle tested), on top of probable hardware purchases since VMWare and its demands have shaped on-site datacenter spend, layout, and networking for years.

The actual VMs are the easiest part to move since they are just some virtual disks and a config file. It's all the other supporting stuff and high availability that need to configured and battle tested that will take forever. It's not something you can plan to do ahead of needing to do it because doing so would mean doing the same job twice for years for a bet that you can't just weather some higher costs for a year or two before you can move stuff onto cheaper platforms (and train/hire for expertise).
That alone probably protected a number of users from hitting this.

Slight change of company name for anyone interested:

I'm currently finishing this book by an unabashed fan boy:

https://www.amazon.com/Bill-Dave-Hewlett-Packard-Greatest/dp...?

about how HP went from the coolest company in the world (50's and 60's) to dorky old mediocre place that Fiorina/Hurd/Apotheker/Whitman just finished the destruction that was already underway.

Like a lot of Valley folks, I blamed Carly, but some other long time HP'ers said it was already in process of destroying itself. And while people like to hold up IBM as the canonical bad example for Microsoft and then Google, HP could equally well play that role.

I think. Still pondering this one.

Has it drifted?

I don't see it. I think all the other browsers just had to become light and fast too. Even Microsoft was forced to say goodbye to IE, and instead based Edge on Chromium. And tech people were eventually able to switch back to Firefox because it got much faster too.

Google wanted a world where all browsers were light and fast in order to efficiently run complex webapps -- and they achieved that. Kudos.
