Problem I have with gift cards is a lot of merchants and machines refuse them. I wonder if neobanks have this issue?
I believe unit tests existed. I had a test training in 2000 and things were pretty systematic already then. Not 100% sure whether the exact term was used then.

Edit: JUnit is from 1997. So the name was definitely in use in 2003. I attended a TDD tutorial before 2004 (don't remember the exact year). CI wasn't a thing yet, so you executed your unit tests manually. /edit

Do unit tests exist in the kernel today? There is some (or some would say a lot) of automatic testing for the kernel, but I don't remember seeing a single unit test.
> I speculate that sometimes the programmer is on a platform that doesn't have an easily available off-the-shelf parser/writer, or they simply don't know about it.

I bet this sounds surreal to people visiting this site, but there are really corporations out there running on software written by people who never heard of XML. Another example is a "database" implementation I have seen in a multi-billion dollar company which relied on a hierarchy of directories containing JSON files mimicking tables and rows inside a relational DB.

The particular product in question had tens of millions of dollars yearly revenue.

This can be true of technical articles, especially covering popular subjects which are likely to be reviewed by enough people that errors get removed.

This is the reason why I often use tcc compiler for my edit/compile/hotreload cycle, it is about 8x faster than gcc with -O0 and 20x faster than gcc with -O2.

With tcc the initial compilation of hostapd it takes about 0.7 seconds and incremental builds are roughly 50 milliseconds.

The only problem is that tcc's diagnostics aren't the best and sometimes there are mild compatibility issues (usually it is enough to tweak CFLAGS or add some macro definition)

You haven't gotten the point: nuclear is very bad for varying loads and that is why it is bad to fill the gaps in renewable production.
I'm not sure if you're replying to the correct thread?

All I'm saying is that all CVEs are supposed to be vulnerabilities but not all vulnerabilities have a CVE. So, the name artificially limits the scope of the product.
Trivy reports more than just CVEs
For a similar reason I've been using https://pockettube.io/ for the past year, to manage my YT subscriptions, and it is one of the most impactful extensions I've installed.

Features I really like:

+ Subscription groups: When subscribing to channels you choose in what subscription group to put them. In your left sidebar you can see all your subscription groups and total the number of new videos they published.
- When you click on a subscription group from your left sidebar, it doesn't take you away from the current YT URL you're on. It just opens a well-integrated modal window from which you can see what's new. There you can also filter whether the videos watched/unwatched/shorts/uploads/live/.

+ Notifications when a new video video is published in a certain subscription group. For example last year I wanted to keep up with the latest Stable Diffusion developments, so I had a group for this, with high quality channels only, and wanted to be notified when a new video is published.

It feels like more people should know about this extension. Somehow I feel I've found it pretty late in the game, when I realized YT's default subscription management was very painful to me.
I assume that plenty of people were released from prison today: it doesn't explain why so many people want to look up this one.
> Debian, the so-called "universal operating system" just dropped 32-bit x86 support.

I would argue that Debian has support for at least as many architectures as Gentoo:

> https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=base-files&su...

I know that because I am maintaining most of the obscure architectures in Debian with regular installation snapshots:

> https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/snapshots/

Debian even has a Hurd port for both i386 and amd64.
I looked at every note taking app out there and finally decided to just write arbitrary text files and sync them with Syncthing. I am using the Kate editor on a Linux for this. (I don't use it for anything else) My requirements was that it had a search interface that can go into directories and that it displays a simple directory/file view. It does both great. On Android I use a similarly capable simple app called Markor which gives me a view into the exact same directory tree. Markor also has a good search.

It would really be hard to convince me to use any proprietary format for notes now.
Trivial change, except for also having to change all the prompts to work well with Mistral. LLMs are not equal, you have to ask each one "nicely" in a different way.
Sure, I am always strongly in favor of doing R&D on alternative technologies. But it also is important to understand that this takes a lot of time. But we need to get our grid quickly off fossil fuels and for that we need to use the thechnologies which can be rolled out now. Which would be the renewables.

But any R&D we do now could come handy for the last step, to get the grid fully carbon neutral.

This sounds like the result of a company investing in tooling, rather than something specific to a remote dev env. Our local dev env takes 3 commands and less than 3 hours to go from a new laptop to a fully working dev env.
Quite a few of these looks weird, almost as if number of people are typing something into a search engine. The weirdest one to me are: YouTube, PornHub, XNXX and Facebook. It's almost like people are just typing these into their browsers address bar, but are for some reason redirected to Wikipedias search.
> Gentoo still fully supports obscure architectures such as IA64 and PowerPC 32-bit while Debian dropped both back in 2018 and 2020.

We do that in Debian, too. FWIW, I am the one that eventually greenlit the removal of the ia64 port in the kernel because I was actually the one who took care of most of the issues in the ia64 port.

I also regularly debug and report (and sometimes fix) regressions in various upstream projects regarding targets such as 32-bit PowerPC. It's not enough to solely focus on downstream work, upstream work is as important if not even more important.
I don't think that is particularly an issue, at least in the UK. They have a guaranteed price per unit. If the wholesale price is above that then it is paid back.

All very good and useful points. One additional thing to mention is that as you are querying across the raw data with a data lake(house), performance is fundamentally worse, even if a lot of the marketing material will tell you otherwise. Usually significantly worse than if your data was in a columnar database in practice.

Depending on your use case this may or may not be a problem. For most companies I'd wager that it is a bigger problem than it first appears.
How does this compare to Zrok's integrated server? I've been very impressed with zrok even though I haven't done anything with it in production yet.

Although Jio was the one to trigger a step change in pricing, other telecom players eventually had to offer data plans at competitive rates. I wouldn't attribute these numbers to Jio alone, instead to generally cheap internet in India
All of this is correct, but it misses the main point of the new table formats - they are open-source and the data can be stored on very low cost storgae - S3.
So, having a data warehouse that stores TBs or even PBs of data is not as expensive as it used to be (by an order of magnitude or more). And the formats for storing the data (Parquet), its metadata (Iceberg, Hudi, delta lake), its query engine (DuckDB, Polars, Ibis) - they are all open-source.
It says Ethernet over HTTP, but it looks like it’s only useful for one shot request/response over TCP protocols, like HTTP 1.0.

Whoa. This is entirely too much markup to deal with. I’ve had several stabs at getting Hugo to work for me in this scenario years ago and gave up (and stuck to my own engine) because it just wouldn’t do it in a simple, straightforward way (i.e., minimal markup, preferably none).
What's the business justification for spending this much effort (money) on data warehousing as a startup?

I've not worked at any startups that did data warehousing, the one place I did work at where we were /starting/ to get it setup was like 300+ employees and $100M+/year revenue.
I graduated with a Masters and then also completed 3/4 of a graduate diploma I had to do as a pre-requisite for another masters I wanted to do which I have now been accepted into (on the condition that I complete the graduate diploma).
I use a bunch of Python scripts to publish interlinked notes written with Obsidian[1] and, more recently, SiYuan[2] with Hugo. For me, this presents the best of both worlds. Obsidian and SiYuan are very nice to write and review notes. Hugo is good for publishing to the web. Having script automation to bridge the two means you can use the strengths of each tool without having to bend it for a use case it wasn’t designed for.

Great point about skills. You're absolutely right we can learn and hone
these. Your experience of playing MTG with the kids, and discovering
their powers sounds positive. Not quite the same level of
sophistication but I played "Selfish" with 8-10 year olds and it
boosted my feelings about what is "innate" human nature. I think we
have to learn to be mean and nasty, and to prefer tit-for-tat over
forgiveness.

As for people having always been de-socialised, yes I am sure it's
always been so for some, but something has changed. I'm also old
enough to have traced it. What's changed imho is acceptability. It's
great that we're a more tolerant society etc. But we used to value
good manners, Today I think we see them as a weakness and treat
assholes as if their behaviour was quite acceptable but "unfortunate".
I think digital technology has played a large part in that.
I've hit that "git plugin is crap" problem with obsidian too. You've just made me think I should try unison. Also been thinking about a SSG backed with obsidian, sooooo...

It's interesting that others seems to go the same route as I do for movies and TV shows and just use Wikipedia rather than IMDB. IMDB has become so awful to use and shows no sign of improving. Apparently IMDB don't believe that they have any competition and over the years people have just started to add the same information to Wikipedia.
Dennis, we should coax you more to release a rustup version for this. ;-)

Great work!
We do very similar things ourselves: our insights product (https://incident.io/learn) uses Metabase to power the dashboards.

The data that goes into those insights can be quite complex and the queries are actually threading JSON parameters through into BigQuery SQL queries using JavaScript UDFs to power the filters in the dashboard (show incidents with these custom field values). This works pretty well with signed Metabase dashboard links.

We have hit limitations with Metabase though. Performance of the instance can be a bit unpredictable and their support has been poor when things do go wrong, with very little willingness to take our feedback into account for new product features.

For that reason and more (such as more flexible dashboards) we’re going to move ourselves to Omni (https://omni.co/) for internal business analytics use cases, and will reconsider Metabase for our customer facing product dashboards when we do. Omni may work for these or we might build them bespoke, we’ll see at the time.

This analogy captures a bit of variety found in both cheese and tofu.
> I'll never understand why China spent so much time and money finding the perfect remote karst for radio astronomy and then built a radio-loud amusement park around it.

Because it is a prestige project for Chinese government. Any science coming out of that is secondary to that.
> A little type system goes a long way, and there's such a thing as too much in my opinion.

Agreed.

The purpose of "types" is to make the program easier to understand, because the invariants expressed as type-declarations hold at all times of the program execution. That makes it EASIER to reason about the program, in other words makes it easier to understand your program and what it is doing, by understanding what it cannot be doing, meaning violating its type-constraints.

But now IF the type-declarations-language becomes highly advanced and thus complex and difficult to understand, that potentially makes your program more DIFFICULT to understand.

So it's good to keep the purpose of type-systems in mind while thinking about their benefits. We declare types only so that we and others can better understand what our programs are doing.

Of course if the program is small, it is typically easy to understand and may be even easier to understand without them.

Ah, yes - I agree. Thank you for clarifying.
I'm reminded of the comment in XeePhotoshopLoader.m:

// At this point, I'd like to take a moment to speak to you about the Adobe PSD format.
// PSD is not a good format. PSD is not even a bad format. Calling it such would be an
// insult to other bad formats, such as PCX or JPEG. No, PSD is an abysmal format. Having
// worked on this code for several weeks now, my hate for PSD has grown to a raging fire
// that burns with the fierce passion of a million suns.
// If there are two different ways of doing something, PSD will do both, in different
// places. It will then make up three more ways no sane human would think of, and do those
// too. PSD makes inconsistency an art form. Why, for instance, did it suddenly decide
// that *these* particular chunks should be aligned to four bytes, and that this alignement
// should *not* be included in the size? Other chunks in other places are either unaligned,
// or aligned with the alignment included in the size. Here, though, it is not included.
// Either one of these three behaviours would be fine. A sane format would pick one. PSD,
// of course, uses all three, and more.
// Trying to get data out of a PSD file is like trying to find something in the attic of
// your eccentric old uncle who died in a freak freshwater shark attack on his 58th
// birthday. That last detail may not be important for the purposes of the simile, but
// at this point I am spending a lot of time imagining amusing fates for the people
// responsible for this Rube Goldberg of a file format.
// Earlier, I tried to get a hold of the latest specs for the PSD file format. To do this,
// I had to apply to them for permission to apply to them to have them consider sending
// me this sacred tome. This would have involved faxing them a copy of some document or
// other, probably signed in blood. I can only imagine that they make this process so
// difficult because they are intensely ashamed of having created this abomination. I
// was naturally not gullible enough to go through with this procedure, but if I had done
// so, I would have printed out every single page of the spec, and set them all on fire.
// Were it within my power, I would gather every single copy of those specs, and launch
// them on a spaceship directly into the sun.
//
// PSD is not my favourite file format.
The product provides login and sign up with Slack which means all product plans include SSO under whatever scheme the Slack workspace is provisioned with.

The SAML feature in the Pro and up plans is about hooking us up directly to your identity provider to do things like RBAC and group syncing, and we pay WorkOS a monthly fee of several hundred dollars per customer that uses this, so makes sense to gate in the higher plans.

So I’m not sure this is quite right?

I hadn't heard of Common Lisp Conditions before reading this thread, but I looked them up in response to it, and I have to ask -- what is the fundamental difference?

Granted Common Lisp is not statically typed and the type system support for effects is a major part of the utility of algebraic effects in Koka, but otherwise they do look remarkably similar to me, both offering a form of delimited continuation that allows you to write code that can call out to a non-local handler that is set up the call stack, and which can itself return control to the caller.
Data like this allows us to be extremely customer focused and help direct investment for the business, such as what features we build on and when.

We also use the same data pipeline to power a lot of our data product features which customers pay us for.

So it’s extremely worthwhile as an investment for us. It’s also why we have about five people hired into data adjacent roles, as it’s so key to us running the business correctly.
Lol!

It's a post about being conservative with technology yet most of the choices seem hipster. Clojure, why not java? Diatomic, why not postgres? Flutter... it's gonna be cancelled.

Though I agree with the message that keeping the library choice small is good. I just think they already lost that war at some point. There are cracks in the argument in the article. Diatomic... "For high value data", implying it did not generalize to low value data, or they have several other dbs around. Shoulda picked postgres, it's more general, but hand was forced by clojure, which was the original hipster in the stack I expect.
I see. thanks
I'd put a "dangerous bend" symbol in front of the "dangerous bend" symbol itself - for authors: It's such an interesting and unusual tool that authors who have it in their arsenal will want to use it, even if just to show off some interesting bit of typography in their book and possibly interrupt the monotonicity of an otherwise very strict formal textbook.

But this means that the symbol can excuse, or even incentivize writing exactly such "dangerous bend" passages instead of e.g. structuring the argument or the learning order differently, so the thinking trap doesn't occur in the first place.

I think it' a very useful didactic technique to show common misconceptions of something, or popular simplistic but wrong interpretations of a concept. But then it's important to explain what exactly the misconception is and why it is wrong, and not just put a "beware, here be misconceptions" sign next to the introduction of the concept.
No, just a regular high school.
You can change the prompts if you want better results. But you don't have to do it. I've replaced GPT endpoint with LiteLlm a few times already and had to adjust the prompt only once. If I can't see the difference, why bother?
