Seeing how expensive and drawn-out it seems to be just to get through the permitting process for new construction where I live, I would not favor increased regulation as a first step, but I suppose it would depend on how much of a burden the current standards are in any given area. Some places go as far as to regulate duration of shadows cast upon opposing sidewalks, and some others only seem to see development where sidewalks aren't required, so it seems like various countrys' systems suck all around. Sub-par houses now were not necessarily sub-par houses when they were built, and I'm sure they performed a hell of a lot better than had they not been at all.

I really appreciate the lack of magic in go's error handling. I do not appreciate the specific implementation of errors in go. It's inefficient (`reflect` is all over the place) and prone to obscuring the actual "error path". In applications of non-trivial size, it also becomes an obstacle to implementing structured logging and other components of observability. This makes debugging/triage of, say, a production incident harder than it needs to be.

I didn't make any claim around the quality of "The Book of Shaders", I was objecting to the unqualified implication of the OP that a book is low quality due to being incomplete.

Not for a programming language because it's extremely rare for the computation rate to increase, rather than the work being done to compute something decrease.

If you've rewritten something to better use cachelines, removed saturating memory bandwidth, etc then sure you've increased The computation rate. But that's rarely how these language specific optimizations occur.

From “the rise of worse is better”:

> Completeness -- the design must cover as many important situations as is practical. All reasonably expected cases should be covered. Completeness can be sacrificed in favor of any other quality. In fact, completeness must be sacrificed whenever implementation simplicity is jeopardized. Consistency can be sacrificed to achieve completeness if simplicity is retained; especially worthless is consistency of interface.

I think Supabase is much better than Firebase, but I find its security model worse; Firebase was very clearly designed with this in mind, while Supabase is just a Postgres DB with RLS as an afterthought.

One particular thing that annoys me with SB is that by default, or when you create a table with SQL, they're publicly accessible, which is very bad! (Firebase defaults to no access in production mode.)

> antenna is tuned to the maximum allowed emission power per local regulations

Actually it's not. The antenna is tuned to give a peak in output. It's either correctly tuned, or it's off tune.

It's the design of the whole transmitter/battery/antenna which chosen to give a compromise between battery life and max allowed output.

Few transmitters will come close to the max legal power, and if they did, de-tuning the antenna would result in a very inefficient compromise.

If you include a (dummy) human in the test environment you will (with luck) be close to optimum. By not including a human, you can be sure that the results will be worse in actual use.
Not misleading. Othet distros do similar or even the same. For example many if not all python modules are separate packages.

Even so. Removing the packages you talk about Nix is still largest. So again not misleading.

I get that you don’t like some of the features go has done without, but how do you justify incomplete? What do you even mean by that word? Clearly lots of code has been written in it. Its deficiencies do not prevent programs from being expressed. The only definition I can think of for complete would be Turing completeness, but that is clearly too low a bar for what you are saying.
In what way do you perceive it to be an after thought?

It's front-and-center constantly, and has _all_ access disabled by default on tables every time I use it.
Absolutely. Maintaining and modernizing code means making use of the newest capabilities so your systems are more efficient, thereby reducing their costs. Newer tech also has many more capabilities which means older products can become new again, which would lead to more sales. It also reduces the bus factor since you will be able to find many more experienced people to intervene in your system if it experiences significant issues.

I recently worked on a platform that still used Silverlight well after its deprecation. They needed to deprecate and then extricate that dependency. For a very long time, people would pursue features over this maintenance task since the maintenance wouldn't have increased revenue. However, eventually the very old dependency slowed down their ability to produce features that customers want and presented a security risk as well. These certainly will reduce profit margin...so a lot of the time, tech investment will be about not losing the profit margin that already exists, and biding time until new capabilities become available to add new features and decrease system costs.

Yeah, you should have an error domain and convert a sql.NotFound error to an app.NotFound error at the boundary. The http handler can then treat those as 404s.
Twitch allows streamers quite a bit of control over when and how ads run, including manually triggering them. As long as they run a certain number of ads per hour, you don't see a preroll.

The streamer you were watching didn't bother to reduce ads to short 15 second chunks or run them manually during slow points like sitting in-queue.

Despite the existence of WebAssembly, which some have suggested to be able to run a non-JS language, I just have a hard time seeing anything non-JS get popular for the web. The in browser debug/development environment just works too well.

It is because of geological processes like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_sulfide_deposits. The vast majority of heavy metals on Earth are in the core, because of gravity. Convection moves elements from inner layers of the Earth to the outer ones, and sometimes they dissolve in the ocean or get stuck in a buoyant piece like a continent before falling back down the gravity well.

It is also because chemistry, periodic table stuff related to valence electron interaction. You actually don't find veins of iron, for example you find bands of iron oxide ore like hematite. The reason those are present is one-off because iron dissolved in water precipitated out when plants evolved to product oxygen gas via photosynthesis. Gold is just relatively nonreactive so it is found in relatively pure forms, like nuggets, that get eroded out of igneous formations.
But this is a detail of implementation, user code does not use reflection with errors.

I believe PyPy was written knowing it wouldn’t work with many C/C++ libraries used in the Python world.

I see this kind of post all of the time. If you’re using relational data with a key value store you’re doing it wrong. You can do anything you can do with a relational database with a key value store, but there are trade offs since now you have to heavily denormalize for performance and figure out how to keep things reasonably consistent.

Firebase is not an alternative to Postgres alone. You need an actual API server. The value of Firebase is you don’t need that, nor do you need to worry about ops, authentication, queues or other things.

It's a town with one of the highest percentages of bike commuters in the state, actually.

However there's also a regressive aspect that refuses to make any accommodations for anything except cars, and these people have veto power over non-car infrastructure. There is no built-in veto power for new car infrastructure, and in fact existing law requires car infrastructure as a base for any sort of building, for example parking minimums.

Most of the city was built 1960-1980, so based on car designs. But it's small enough that small amounts of change would eliminate car dependence.

> but how do you justify incomplete

are you seriously suggesting that Go's insistence of requiring the programmer to scatter "if err != nil {}" after most function calls - with no compiler assistance if you forget - is complete either in the sense of "having all necessary parts, elements, or steps" or "being finished"?

it's terrible, causes bugs and it seems incredibly unlikely to me that it won't be improved.
That "detail of implementation" is what is used by user code, e.g., `myError.As(...)` uses reflection, implicitly.

Clients can reject timestamps from the future outright, and for the rest, apply a decay function based on age, prior to comparison.

I saw that someone already mentioned, but only in passing, the DEC Rainbow 100. It was a great machine for its time, with Z80/8088 CPUs allowing it to run both 8 and 16-bit software.

But they had a special (even proprietary) floppy disk format. You couldn't format your own floppies. You couldn't even purchase any floppy brand. You had to order from DEC at $5 apiece, and you got a paltry 400K 5.25" floppy that you couldn't even format.

This was corrected later but then the damage was done and the Rainbow never took off.

Not so. If you want high thermal performance in a building, insulation (therefore thickness) is crucial in the entire building envelope. As the beardier building retrofit types say, your house needs a hat (loft insulation) boots (floor insulation) and jacket (wall insulation).

Consider this: if you're raising the temperature of your floor to say, 25C, that won't do much if you're doing so on an uninsulated floor where the temperature of the ground beneath is 10C or so. UFH at that temperature is very efficient and thermally comfortable.

Consider further that you might then have walls which let all that lovely heat out even if your ceiling and floor are well insulated. It makes sense for them to be just as good, not least because your windows will in all likelihood be the worst part of the room in terms of insulation. Having as uniform a u-value across the room (and building) makes for uniform temperatures throughout. It lends itself to using heat pumps, further raising the efficiency of the building.

Further, lifetime emissions of the building are increasingly front loaded in construction as operational emissions drop. Standardising will presumably cut down on costs as well as emissions at that stage.

Building physics is an entire subject of its own and is worth studying. I'd suggest looking at the Association of Environmentally Conscious Builders and their CarbonLite course to learn more.
I'm scratching an itch that's been plaguing me since the 1990s... an idea for a computing fabric that deliberately wastes transistors in exchange for performance. I have a hunch it might lead to incredibly cheap Petaflops. Along the way to finding out if it's just a silly idea, or useful, I'm learning VHDL and hope to get a chip made so I can measure the performance in terms of compute/joule and compute/watt. I've written about it here quite a bit, I call it a BitGrid. I give it a 50/50 chance.

Also, I've been watching fringe science as a hobby for a while. I'm hopeful that the Barry-1 satellite[1] which is currently in orbit (and slowly falling towards earth), will soon turn on it's thruster (which is purely electric, no reaction mass/propellant) and shift itself into a 100 Km higher orbit using only solar power and broken laws of physics. I give it a 50/50 chance.

Lastly, I'm just trying to push, ever so persistently, the idea of capability based security into the world. It makes me so damned sad that we've had decades to fix computer security, and know exactly how to do it, but we keep just applying band-aids instead of fixing it. It's like if the power grid never adopted circuit breakers or fuses. - I give that a 5% chance of happening. 8(

Firebase's whole premise is seamless syncing between locally cached data and your backend. If you "just use Postgres", life is simpler until your user goes offline/runs out of mobile data/whatever, and then they're immediately screwed.
You say "vast" but we have to outlaw non-car options and legislate that only car options are allowed for nearly all our land.

If we were to even legalize non-car options, we might discover what the market actually wants. And the necessity of those laws kind of shows that the non-car option must be legally suppressed to prevent its true market preference from being revealed.

To everyone who thinks that the "vast majority" of people prefer driving, I say: show the confidence of your convictions and make it legal to build other options.
