In short, data streaming is getting popular. Apache Flink, Apache Spark, ksqlDB are traditional players. They work well in some cases, but have challenges on easy-to-use, easy-to-deploy, on even performance sometimes

Proton, RisingWave, Materialize, etc are the alternatives. In the end, it's always 'case by case' to pick up the best tools working for your team in your projects.

If you think this is too general, well
- Materialize no longer provide the latest code as an open-source software that you can download and try. It turned from a single binary design to cloud-only micro-service
- RisingWave has been open-sourced for 1.5 years and released their cloud mid of last year. It builds its own row-based historical storage, while Proton leverages ClickHouse for faster OLAP-like workload. Also there are more SQL functions supported in Proton, because it's powered by ClickHouse. Proton uses local SSD as the main storage and has an option to send older data to object storage. While RisingWave primarily uses object storage, and use local disk as cache. So in general Proton can achieve lower latency for both streaming or historical queries.

I am a big fan of coffee and drink different kinds of coffee over time, even on the same day. It's all about the use cases and preferences. This could be applied to choose open-source tools to query live data. In the last Current conference, me and Gang had a talk about different tools and different coffee.

This is like Quake vs. modern games.

In Quake, you get the story in the booklet and it's up to you to learn the game.

In modern games you're constantly interrupted with an explanation of what you can do, should do, and so on.

I love this one (Infinite Craft) because it's up to you to discover and discovery is really fast because nothing interrupts you.

allchemy.io should have a mode without animations and explanations, maybe explanations when you hover over crafted objects on the right pane.
Winning these hard challenges doesn't even get you to the screening interview
Their therapeutic area focus was far too broad. Going after "dozens of diseases" in parallel was a recipe for disaster. It takes a very specific understanding of your disease to translate genetic insight into a mechanistic, testable hypothesis.
I think we agree except that I believe that most people who claim to have "segmented their feelings" have actually repressed their feelings, and are far more prone to motivated reasoning than people who are overtly emotional.

Edit: Or, you know what? I deny the entire individualistic framing. I think to actually make logical decisions about anything of substance, it takes more than one person. For things that don't matter, like what to eat for lunch or what book to buy, it's fine letting your emotions take the wheel.

I think the individual logical person is a myth. We're social animals. Logical reasoning is a collective enterprise.
I'm pretty sure that's only if you're a gatekeeper, which are only the services big enough that my mom would notice directly if they'd go down (things used by millions of people in my country of 18 million). Whether Apple's messaging system, default enabled on every Apple phone, qualifies is currently being debated, to give a sense of what scale this requires.

The DMA/DSA laws also contain rules for smaller parties (I've been getting tons of ToS update emails mentioning the digital somethings act), but not interoperability
We prevented financial loses in a SaaS app
Exciting success story! We thwarted financial losses in SaaS app. Found premium users without a Stripe subscription, fixed bugs, and synced historical data. Result? Zero financial losses and our data now aligns seamlessly with Stripe.
Will add an ability to speed up/outright disable animations in the next update! Was a bit of an oversight on our part as once you start amassing a decent amount of items you encounter the new item animation less frequently - but in the early game it's definitely quite irritating!
>Standing up to bullies is the kind of thing that gets young people expelled from school.

I think this is false. You can stand up to a bully without physical fighting or retaliation.
Physical keyboards were better than any touch screen one until the swipe typing became standard. You could type on them faster, and had more features like arrow keys, which were useful for smaller screens.

There was a whole era of autocorrect and the memes that came with it due to how much it was being used with touchscreen keyboards.

Of course the advantage of a full screen for things like web and media was more important, and making fullscreen phones was cheaper, so physical keyboards died out. The size of the screen increased as well.
It's fascinating to me the extent to which executives don't consider themselves "public figures" when it comes to potential downsides, but they do in terms of upsides.

It feels so obvious to me that the CEO of such a high-profile org should at the very least quickly check public-facing social media posts against someone sensible, if not laundering them all through the experts at their org. But somehow they keep making these mistakes over and over again.
You can find some op-eds defending the bill. Here's this one: https://www.americanmaritimepartnership.com/articles/the-jon...

> Now imagine a future without the Jones Act, where Chinese-flagged vessels all controlled, in whole or in part, by the Chinese Communist Party—were able to freely dock at our domestic ports, cruise our coastlines, and travel up and down our inland waterways. From the St. Lawrence Seaway in the Great Lakes right through our heartland on the Mississippi River, the Chinese Communist Party would have virtually unrestricted access to essential American economic arteries. That access would position our adversaries to do far greater damage to American infrastructure than the pipeline hackers ever imagined.

> Moreover, the American merchant marine and civilian shipping industry would be virtually eliminated by state-subsidized Chinese vessels, just like our manufacturing and industrial base were severely damaged by predatory Chinese practices over the past two decades. And critically, the reserve of merchant mariners and civilian cargo ships we require in the event of conflict would be significantly eroded.

Which is dumb. You could still repeal the Jones Act and require the ships to be US flagged or crewed. Or restrict it to countries that have signed security/trade deals with the US.

Even still, were war declared, a Chinese grain barge in Missouri isn't going to pose much of a threat. Most likely it would be commandeered by the US anyway!

“Garry Tan is right!” the letter sent to Peskin, Preston and, perhaps, others read. “I wish a slow and painful death for you and your loved ones.”
Bizarrely, the letter to Preston and Peskin concluded: “This mail was sent to communicate a political opinion. No threats were intended.”

There is no centralized auditing of derivative macaroons, but there could be of verification of those macaroons - you still require a centralized service which knows the core HMAC secret to give a thumbs up or thumbs down.

To that end you can define auditing information even when there aren't really caveats - user A appending that they are giving a version of the macaroon to user B with no restrictions on use.

Since there isn't a domain language, you have to define all this. JSON can be useful to have an extensible notation for describing this, although you need to up-front declare the difference between information which can be ignored and caveats which much result in failure if not understood.

In some cases there are no experts so you can become an expert (as much as anyone) very quickly. Say writing prompts for LLMs. (Nobody has done that for 10,000 hours)

A 35 year old athlete has no change of breaking into the NFL or NBA but they can be one of the founders of a new sport, only later will there be a system to turn young athletes into champions.

On the other hand there are cases you could spend 10k hours and still suck or maybe you are a master of something nobody cares about. (been there… done that)

If the letter wished them a rapid death, would it still be a threat? What if it merely wished them a death of unspecified speed, itself being the natural and ordinary consequence of being alive?

Even taking the latest Intel has to offer with the Core Ultra 9 185H in a system with active cooling and putting it up against the fanless model of the M1 MacBook Air comes out equal in performance at more than triple the power usage - 3 years after the fact. It's got nothing to do with a feedback loop, there is less cooling capacity and not even a fan on the Apple model, the fan wasn't somehow needed for the performance level. Not that a conspiracy of Apple to run all their MacBooks like shit for many years prior to switching all to make Intel look bad is a bit ludicrous - if the problem was ever that the fans weren't on enough they would have just turned them up. Turns out, they can remove them instead!

The one place I agree with you is in the > ~16 core space (Server style) with TBs of RAM, where total performance density is more important than power, they don't bother to really compete. Where I differ slightly is I don't think there is anything about the technical design that prevents this, just look how Epyc trounced Intel in the space by using a bunch of 8 core chip modules instead of building a monolith, rather they just don't have interest in serving that space. If Apple was able to turn a phone chip into something with the multicore performance of a 24 core 13900k it doesn't exactly scream "architectural limitation" to me.
I can also say Figma avoided Adobe going into "destroy mode" with a similar product.

We recognize Adobe XD as incapable, but with Adobe's resources, they'd have thrown enough money until they achieved it.

Of course there are exceptions: same cannot be said of Google Video and YouTube.
You have just highlighted the actual problem with the question. Uniform distribution.
I have a mobile app sitting around. Wrote it in 2020ish, Corona year. The mobile app is written in flutter and the server is in Go, you probably know by now where I'm heading with this.

I cannot even express how hellish and nightmare that whole flutter thing is: I'm worried about the engine itself (there were breaking changes in the typing system itself that I'd need to worry about), the libraries and packages to update. And not to even stop at the building (signing) stage with the whole ruby shenanigans that needs to match and work well with xcode.

Now compare that to go.
My team and I were ghost developers to many companies, developers, and book authors in the hay days of Macromedia/Adobe Flash.

We were approached to build a bunch of learning lessons for teachers to teach kids - primarily focusing on human anatomy. Instead of building separate lessons, we built a generator tool for the teachers to drag and drop various combinations and permutations that produce almost infinite lesson variations.

The end customer was Pearson Publishing, and I heard they won awards and stuff. Our client was a good person and even paid us extra for doing the better version of the product they had in mind.

That tool was like this and a few others, as mentioned in the comments. But all in ActionScript Flash, complete with sounds, laughter tracks, and ever-expanding sprites of body parts. It was one fun and fulfiling product.

How Tech Outstayed Its Welcome
I don't want to belabor this because Garry has (rightfully) apologized, but I would hope that the standard public figures hold themselves to is “does this elevate the level of discourse”, not just “is it legal to say this”. Things that could not-unreasonably be construed as death threats do not meet that standard.
Re 1: I'm a human, not just a worker. I don't need to go out for beers every week after work, but knowing my coworkers as humans is a nice bit of human contact... if they're not jerks or too messed up. (Otherwise, knowing my coworkers personally is a bit of human contact, but it's not nice...)

Re 3: This works... for maybe the first 10 or 15 years. After that, switching too often can be a red flag, limiting your ability to land the better jobs.
Yes. I'm quite familiar with this blantant misinterpretation of the Constitution. The logic is flawed at its core. What if my friend tells me a joke? I may not go to pay to see a comdeian. That would have nth order effects on commerce as a whole.

Honestly, Filburn v. Whitaker was my biggest wake up call that the US is a complete farce with absolutely corrupt checks and balances.

Couple that with other outcomes like Hylton v. United States, where the SC argued that a clear direct tax was actually a usage tax and not subject to apportionment. Plenty of examples of SCOTUS relabeling an activity to say it's fine when it's in clear violation of the Constitution.
We're generally free from government suppression of speech, but not free from the social consequences of that speech, because we're also all free to choose with whom we associate and in what manner.

In other words: Many things are legal and still reprehensible.

I can't fix the Internet, but our discourse would likely be improved by people speaking online with the same care they are likely to apply in person. Or perhaps having auto-lockout on your twitter account when you're drunk. ;)
Will do. Thank you very much!
> “This mail was sent to communicate a political opinion. No threats were intended.”

When I was a kid I formed a core memory when I said “no offence, but…” and then said something incredibly offensive and was subsequently and rightfully lit right up by the person. “But I said no offence!” was my response, completely misunderstanding how that phrase even worked.

I feel like this is the adult version of that.
The mathematical derivative in its classic origin story comes from setting something paradoxically to zero. But it can't actually be zero, because then our math breaks: "the lingering essence of a departed quantity".

The derivative is seen in the real world in things like motion. If we know something's position changes over time we can calculate its speed (over time), and acceleration (the derivative of speed over time).

Motion is (kinetic) energy. Energy, manifested as motion, is transferred to an object not as force over time ('tis but a proxy) but as force over distance. This is why the continuous application of a fixed force to an object in motion transfers more energy to the object in a unit of time when the object is moving faster to begin with. (kinetic energy for an object of a certain mass is proportional to speed^2)

But imagine that an object is truly "at rest". No motion. A force is applied. Why does it start moving in the first place?
I'll give a hat tip to @curiositry from https://autodidacts.io/ for both technical and general topics.
I mean one good thing about Trump is that he's reduced the likelihood that future politicians will get "cancelled" for extra-material affairs or probably even high crimes...

Also Taylor Swift will probably save us all if she takes on AI nudes and she can help teens by leading by example. That will help to change the dialog shame and stigma.

We also need to help kids with self-acceptance and reduce shame. But yes, instagram and social media need to do more, that has been clear for awhile.
Ahh, neat application of it. Explains the somewhat dubious combinations I was seeing.
I think part of the issue is that H-1B is a non-immigrant visa.

It's ridiculous for a country like the US to expect people to move their whole household for ... 6 years?

H-1B is actually slightly better than an L1*. At least with the H-1B you are allowed to change jobs if the new employer wants to do the paperwork. For the L1 you can't do that. The visa is tied to the current employer. You leave? You're out.
Not to be that guy, but why does it seem like Rust is so high for everything and Python is crazy low?

I don't have a stake for either languages, but when I select a web server with only Developer UX, Hiring, and Ecosystem selected (as in no performance or correctness) Rust is at 0.87 and Python is at 0.12?

I think if you told someone "I need a webserver in a language with a great ecosystem, easy to hire for, and performance doesn't matter" most people would think of Python. At the very least, nobody would think of Rust.
As I mentioned above, most of my teachers supported me dropping out and told me of the successful types they knew like me. However I would like to stress that this kind of path isn't for everyone and having a low-enough common denominator and standardization does have utility. For most people, not finishing high school could very well mean a lack of commitment. Especially if they need external motivators as most do. However in my adult life as an autodidact and "life long learner" I don't see a lot of self-direction or commitment coming from the general population of graduates.
I am interested. I actually like Chi so no need to take it out. Are you open to sharing it ?

I would have graduated with a Comp Sci degree in 2001, but I dropped out in late 1999 with a low level web dev job. (Yes, my title was something like Assistant Webmaster.) My first job (slicing in Photoshop, Cold Fusion being used for local small business web sites...) actually fizzled out, but then I got a proper salaried job doing Classic ASP + SQL Server + Microsoft Commerce Server type work. Been doing work roughly in that area ever since, typically for small businesses. While I did see a local company downsize sometime around 2002/2003 from 50 to 20 employees (but then they hired me not long after), I wasn't affected negatively by the "tech crash" because every local business was on board for getting at least a web site up.
Well, it just so happens that I build a UI toolkit over the last decade, but yes with performance in mind and not featuritis. But apparently I have no clue, well sad to hear that. I'll show myself out.

I think a lot of people get annoyed by email because they're used to using it in crappy web-based clients. In 2021 I switched back to using Thunderbird after many years using web gmail and my god it's a breath of fresh air.

I'm not opposed to web based git Forges provided they're reasonably responsive and not sluggishly slow like GitLab has become.
>I wanted a discrete GPU when they announced Xe but it has become Xe ARC alchemist, battlemage, celestial, and druid.

They've made this situation fairly clear, in my eyes.

Alchemist is the product line for their first attempt at true dedicated GPUs like those Nvidia and AMD produce. It's based on Intel Xe GPU architecture.

It's done decently well, and they've been very diligent about driver updates.

Battlemage is the next architecture that will replace it when it's ready, which I believe was targeted for this year. Similar to how the Nvidia 4k series replaced the 3k before it. Celestial comes a couple years later, then druid a couple years after that, etc. They don't exist simultaneously, they're just the names they use for generations of their GPUs.
Waaaaah, I want all my modern conveniences with none of the costs.
