Christianity also features the premise of marriage, so does that mean no secular conception of marriage can exist? Most people think otherwise.

Well, they also made the mistake of initially trying to force both sides of the market to be one, i.e. you had to be a contributor (pay money to others) to collect money (let others pay you money). Also collecting money on behalf of others and then distributing it after sitting on it is an easy way to run afoul of anti money laundering laws in various jurisdictions. Also they did take investments which means they had to not only build a sustainable business but actually create a considerable ROI for their investors or risk them pulling the plug and cut their losses (which is presumably what happened given the lack of detail and "our wonderful journey" speak).

So in other words they decided to play in hard mode (infinite growth) and then kneecapped themselves (to avoid "begging"). It's a miracle they survived this long. I had forgotten about them longer than I had used them.

> too jaded

I don’t think you are. The number of times the person inferring I’m jaded is later found out to be a manipulator is very high. Calling people who are perceptive of lies, “jaded”, “negative”, “pessimistic”, etc is seemingly a common tactic employed by sociopaths to socially empower themselves while simultaneously weakening those that might call them out.
I think the gap here, in standard discussion, is that something involving a rhetorical fallacy doesn’t make it _wrong_.

At any number of points in my career, I’ve argued in favor of using a technology because the majority of the industry is using it. On one hand, that’s a bandwagon fallacy. But it’s also often the right answer: there are actual benefits in technology of using something with an active userbase, where new hires are likely to have familiarity, etc.

Likewise, appeals to authority are not fatal to a suggestion. If we’re debating two courses of action and I say “well $smart_engineer generally recommends option A”, that’s meaningful. But it’s still an appeal to authority. In a good discussion, the follow-up question would be “why do they generally recommend that?”, which is how you determine if the authority’s wisdom applies to your situation.

It's not that simple, alas.

When the WALK sign is on, there's a minimum time required for pedestrian crossing that has to be allowed. Signals can switch faster and respond to traffic needs more quickly if they don't have to always block waiting for that crossing time.

IMO, the ideal solution is you add all-way crossing into every signal cycle. E.g. North/South traffic, then East/West traffic, then all-WALK (unless nobody pressed the WALK button). It's much safer - no worries about right-on-red or un-protected left turns hitting pedestrians, and pedestrians get the more efficient option to cross diagonally.
Laypeople value the aesthetics of statements like these. It's very Discord energy.

Why English doesn't just call them "under-sea-boat" or "underwater-boat" has been a mistery to me for a long time. (as a Dutch, we call 'em Onderzeeboot or Onderzeeër - underseaboat, undersea-er). It's so much simpler than combining latin/scientific terms.

"Metcalfe's law states that the financial value or influence of a telecommunications network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system"

Later in the article it seems like the original stating is more consistent with what you said, but everything I've ever learned in network theory and practice shows that it scales as a power of number of edges, and the logarithm of the number of nodes.

That's very possible. Some of his phrasing sounded like he hoped the parole board would be reading it: I accept responsibility for my crime, I'm using the skills I'm learning in prison, etc. etc.

Still, if you asked me about my own sins, I might say similar things: I accept responsibility for acting like a jackass, I'm using the skills I've learned from mentors and through meditation and mindfulness, etc. etc. I'd be completely earnest about all that. I've behaved poorly in the past, decided I wanted to be a better person, and genuinely try to do that. If I want people to take me at my word and believe that I'm trying to be better, I have to take him at his word until proven wrong.

(One of my sins was unnecessary cynicism. I have the luxury of it not mattering to me whether he's sincere or not, and I think it's a healthier mindset for me to accept stories like his at face value than to default to mistrusting everyone. I'm not naive, though. The people in his life need to weigh that a lot more carefully than I need to.)

Certainly, I have an issue with this idea that everything a person does gets cancelled because the person gets cancelled. Particularly in this era of intense political polarization.... It is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

The world is full of examples of art and science from troubled individuals; much of our foundational understanding of certain areas of science is derived from the learned experiences of inhumane research conducted by nazis or WW2 japan. Yet one guy murders his wife and suddenly we are all rejecting a perfectly cromulent filesystem.
What is wrong with multi-dimensional arrays in C? It works far better than in C++:

void foo(int X, int Y)
{
double a[X][Y];
..
}

In fact, this is one reason I switched away from C++, because arrays are so bad in C++.
Hmmm. The phrasing of your question is a little ambiguous. I could interpret it two ways:

1. "Do you know if there are any config knobs in the aho-corasick crate that will speed up construction?"

2. "I have my own implementation of Aho-Corasick and construction isn't as fast as I hoped. What kinds of tricks can I employ to make my own implementation faster?"

I'd be happy to try and answer either of these, but I think it would be better to ask with a concrete example on the issue tracker Discussions: https://github.com/BurntSushi/aho-corasick/discussions

All of the tricks I know about (and I judged to be worth doing) are in the aho-corasick crate. There's really just no getting around the fact that you need to first build a trie (which requires visiting every byte in every pattern) and then do a breadth-first search across the entire trie to setup failure transitions. Making construction substantially faster probably requires some kind of innovation in those two parts at a fundamental level.

You can also cheat at this. That is, by designing your Aho-Corasick automaton to be zero-copy deserializable. The DFAs in regex-automata support this. I waver on whether to do this for aho-corasick, because it acts like a straight-jacket for evolving the internals of the library.

Well, most of the commenters on HN would. But more than 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and the cost of giving a friend shelter is not just space on a couch. If the friend is broke, you're absorbing their food costs. Maybe not a big deal for a few weeks, of course. But when highly competent software engineers are out of work for months...

Plus the pandemic exacerbated the problem a fair bit.

And no, spending more money isn't easy. There's nothing easy about this. I think Housing First is the right solution because it works, not because it's trivial.

Not sure what you're asking. At risk of loosely explaining what you may already know, `<Vec<_>>` is a generic parameter `<T>` with the type `T` specified as `Vec`. Vec also has a param, `<_>`, where the type is ignored - as the compiler can figure that out.

Sidenote, `<Vec<_>>` is missing the best part - the fish head, to become `::<Vec<_>>`, aka `::<>` - the Turbo Fish :D

I admit to using this syntax more than necessary just so i can write a turbofish :D

edit: Wait no, `<>` is the head - isn't it. hah. So i guess it's missing the fins? /shrug
They do throw a couple bucks to the poor and middle class so they can say that, you've got me there, but you should be able to see in your explorations of the historical tax tables who is getting the biggest benefit.

This has been the dynamic long enough that I can remember an SNL skit from 20 years ago about how bad the Democrat's messaging was on the subject. Something like the Democratic leadership of the time cutting ads about how the rich could use their tax cut for a full-service holiday at a brothel, while all the middle class could get from their cut was a lousy handjob. Obviously it was amusing enough to stick with me.
Yup, and in this case a lot of the numbers that went into the math were department wide macro numbers. I could do amazing at my job, the numbers wouldn't change, I could do nothing, the numbers wouldn't change... and it was a mystery/ a core to get a feel for how the math would work out. That opaqueness was an issue too.

Few days back there was topic "Rust contributor's burnout" here on HN. I understand it maybe a sensitive topic but from outside it feels contributors working on Zig seem generally happy and excited about their contributions. And I think this is more important than number of features crammed or 1.0 release deadline committed to.
Chiming in to say that the Ballad of St. Halvor was one of the nicest poems I’ve read in a long while, and kind of inspirational. I think I really needed that.

The article indicates that it comes with an integrated battery.
Pretty ironic, right? The entire article is the process of the author making the same mistake he's complaining about.

For anyone reading the comments looking for more helpful guidance, the most generally helpful advice you will get is to start by measuring. Your measurements should help you identify bottlenecks, but the answer of how to fix the issue is dependent on your problem's constraints. In fact, there's such a massive number of dimensions to the solution space of the general problem of overloaded systems/services that it is actually ridiculous for the author to try and write a single ~2k words article explaining how to solve them all.

If you're hosting some non-critical service (which is clearly the case for the author), then maybe load-shedding is appropriate. If you're making a critical control system on the other hand, load-shedding (allowing system failure by design) is absurd. If you are already set up well for scaling (can be a big up-front investment) and have more money than time, maybe horizontal scaling is a no-brainer.

All those examples ignore the elephant in the room, which is the single root cause performance problem you're likely to discover after measuring your system and analyzing the results (good analysis is equally important to measurement, especially in large and/or distributed systems). This can range from something that is very expensive and possibly impractical to fix (ie: entire backend written in python), to a simple tweak (ie: fixing a bad database query) that drastically improves system performance with no downsides. The degree to which a system and it's components were designed by engineers not carelessly throwing away performance at the altar of "premature optimization is the root of all evil" can also have a profound impact.
In addition, so far I know, the @page "locations" (e.g, @top-center, etc.) are not well supported yet in all browsers which means the flexbox fallback is probably as close as we're going to get.

There's no indication that the price will be lower. I wouldn't have been surprised if they had offered a very small discount, partly to appease customers and partly to use as evidence that this is not a critical feature that customers care a lot about (which they would cite as a reason for a small damages claim or license fee).

The article doesn't mention that customers can still purchase through resellers to the extent that their inventory is already in the US. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple had been stuffing the channel in anticipation of this.
Isn't this article interesting because it is an outlier (an old preserved gauntlet)? If we want to compare outliers like this to what we build today, it seems impossible to do, since we would need to wait another 700 years to see if any of the things we currently craft last that long.

It would make sense to keep backup on hard drive stored in safe in office. Doing it weekly would be reasonable but would have to accept that going to lose a week's worth of data.

The main problem is that would outgrow single hard drive so would need NAS. Also, the transfer speed could be an issue as database gets bigger. Even if don't store all customer data, it does make sense to store all the configuration, keys, and secrets.

My grandparents barely ever figured out how to use a computer enough to use e-mail, despite email being quite popular for the last 25 years of their lives. It was always hit-or-miss whether they'd be able to open up the email client.

I wouldn't use people who are 50+ as bellwethers to determine if something is a bubble vs. a new paradigm.

LLM's will absolutely be the next transformative "interface" that we use to interact with our computing devices. They're just too powerful to ignore. Even the current generation would be amazing for my MacBook. Recently I had an issue at work where I took a new job that uses MacBooks instead of Windows and couldn't get Slack notifications to pop up reliably. I swore all my notification settings were correct both in the app and in system settings. Turns out that my laptop had "Do Not Disturb" mode on due to seeing that my work phone had it on. If Siri had a robust LLM that could connect to system and app settings via API, a high-quality LLM like ChatGPT absolutely would have automatically figured it out and been able to both tell me why the notifications weren't popping up and ask me if I'd like it to go ahead and fix the settings for me.

LLM's will simplify complex computing systems for so many users. Yes, it will suck for tons of systems which implement it poorly or aren't conducive to speech/textual communication. But that's mostly a "skill-issue" for development teams implementing LLM's in apps/OS's, not a fundamental issue with the technology itself.

LLM's may be approaching a temporary bubble, but we won't be in that "bubble" until after Windows, Mac, and Android build them in as first-class interfaces for one option for primary interaction with your devices.

We already have touch GUI, mouse+keyboard GUI, and CLI interfaces, but will now get typing/speech-based LLM interfaces as a new paradigm.
Yeah but those people are already taking whatever they read on the internet at face value. They already believe whatever conspiracy theory they read on tik tok or facebook. They already believe whatever fox news tells them too.

If society really takes this seriously we could make real progress and help many people who are currently vulnerable to misinformation become less so.
