Yeah matrix is pretty great.

The only thing I find is that it's such a moving target. I was trying Element X last week which is now meant to be the new client to be. But I wasn't able to set up the encryption with my recovery key, there was only the online validation which I couldn't use because I was on the go and didn't have access to my desktop. It's supposed to be better but still lacks such basic things (also seems to still lack TOFU for my private server)

The same with the homeservers, there's synapse and dendrite is supposed to take over at some point but that point is forever far in the future. And then there's conduit, so which one is it? I understand this is a fully open multi-server multi-client platform but I kinda expect the "stock" ones to be clear in their strategy :)

The strategy doesn't really feel well thought out in that sense. I really like Matrix and am rooting for it but such things undermine my confidence in recommending it to others.

I'm sure the questions I ask are crystal clear to the matrix in-crowd but to me they're not. In that sense it feels a bit like recommmending arch Linux to a beginner, the first thing they have to do is choose a partition scheme, a network management stack, a desktop environment etc etc. This just doesn't work for those that aren't already deeply in the know :)
Where's the assertion that this is uniquely Apple?

There is an overhead, including for the environment, to have the store though. Bringing returns to a post office is basically the same for the environment as bringing them to a store, but post office is dedicated to shipping and also multiplexed among multiple retailers and private custers.

Eh, ads can be blocked. 5% cash back on travel alone on the other hand makes it continue to be a no-brainer. (And Whole Foods if you shop there).

Everyone understands that you still pay for free shipping. That’s not the point though. If you have prime your stuff ships first. If you don’t — you pay for shipping and/or have to wait longer. Sometimes on purpose, sometimes not.

And then there is a massive list of other affiliate services prime members can use - each one another reason to use prime, if you happen to use those services.

I’m actually surprised how cheap prime is considering its value.
I guess it had a lapse.
Generic libraries are not very useful as the code makes very atypical use of SIMD instructions. For example:

* about half the code deals with reading the beginning and end of strings by doing elaborate, careful unaligned loads and masking
* the other half is straightforward byte-wise comparison following by pmovmskb to inspect where matches were found. This is very performance sensitive and different strategies have to be used on different platforms. For example, NEON doesn't have an instruction like that, so you need to work around the shortcoming in various painful ways.

* some functions currently use the x86-only pcmpistrm instruction and would need a complete redesign for other platforms

I have so far not had any good experience with SIMD libraries for this kind of code. Even C++ + instrinsics delivers poor performance in this sort of setup. For example, when we ported our UTF-8 <-> UTF-16 kernels (AVX-512) from assembly to C++ with intrinsics, performance dropped by 25%.

Also there are two other important constraints:

* we're working far outside the rules of the C language, overreading buffers here and there. It is unknown if the C compiler would miscompile our code.

* similarly, we don't want any C++ in libc, so using a C++-based library is out.

I agree, but I have yet to see a single real-world example of a Rust project meaningfully reducing its binary size by switching from monomorphization to dynamic dispatch in its own code. Many Rust developers boast that they virtually never use `dyn`, but then still appeal to it when arguing that Rust has dynamic dispatch so monomorphization is an avoidable cost.

Sometimes you can provide `T = Arc/Box<dyn Foo>` where `T: Foo` is required, but only if the trait is designed to be object-safe, not simply by default. If you get to design the trait and all of its consumers yourself, you might have this option, but it's very possible that you're using a library that does not make this possible. You can easily be the first person to bother trying the `dyn` for a trait and running into these limitations.

Besides that, you might not even have that much control of the concrete type used. For example, if you are generating large schemas with serde, serde decides how that code is monomorphized, not you. In contrast, for better or worse, the path of least resistance in Go is to use a reflection-based serialization framework which has notable runtime costs (that may or may not matter to a given project) but successfully avoids compile time and binary size costs. (There are other reasons that Go binaries end up even larger than Rust ones, this just isn't one of them)

Despite Rust's general principle of giving its users informed choices here, I am not aware of any option that does 100% dynamic dispatch for (de)serialization, so in practice this is a largely unavoidable cost in each project that is decided only by how complex the schema is.

It's also only fair to point out that C++ tends to end up in this place too, mitigated only by dynamic linking and not any magical property of the language itself. Even C can head this way because monomorphizing with macros has the same effect, though due to how such code is structured, it's also less likely to be inlined than C++ or Rust.
But AI is trained on data that exists right now. The more likely scenario is that it builds its own npm that is similar to npm and still sucks.

That’s a really good point. Those simple dishes are actually quite hard to master due to the complex chemistry going on with fermentation, meat development (raising cattle, dry aging meat), wild-caught vs farmed fish. Their simplicity in terms of bulk ingredients puts them into the same category as wine, beer, spirits, coffee, chocolate, cheese, vinegar, and fruit/vegetables (heirloom tomatoes, hot peppers).

That is, to say, having a few simple ingredients is challenging because it pushes you to generate the complexity out of those basic inputs. Dishes with a lot of ingredients (curries and stews) get their complexity more directly.

The only leading indicators you need in the car market are days of inventory and recent price actions.

Tesla's have deep discounts, suggesting a decline in demand. The end. Inventory is harder because they lack dealerships, but it doesn't seem difficult to find a Model3/ModelY right now at all.

-------

For other EVs like Ford Mustang MachE, days of inventory are rising and prices are declining as well as incentives.

It's not just Tesla, it's a wide group of EVs that were overproduced.

It really can't be just cache effects. You might not be appreciating just how slow that original program was, or how little data this is.

To illustrate, I wrote a Python program[0] that does the search using the naive algorithm, implemented using pure interpreted Python rather than calling out to any optimized builtin or native code libraries, with each character being a separate object, and with each character being stored in a separate 128 element array just to waste more cache. So really absurdly inefficient.

It executes the benchmark search on the sample file in 2ms on a Ryzen 2700.

Sure, cache effects would have contributed a bit to the difference between the original and optimized version, but the contribution just has to be minor.

Who remembers Skytorrents (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13423629)? Posted as a "Show HN" here, it was a DHT-sourced index and stack written in C with no JavaScript, no cookies, no ads, no tracking. Skytorrents was unbelievably fast, friendly, and complete, and this translated into rapid adoption and traffic growth that caused the site to shut down due to server costs after just a year (https://torrentfreak.com/skytorrents-dumps-massive-torrent-d...).

It was a shame that the technology behind Skytorrents was never open-sourced; it was the best torrent crawler and site I've ever seen, and I would have liked to see how it worked so well.
I’m not an “Apple’s biggest fan”, I used an Android all the way up until 2021 (and even now possess both a pixel 7 and an iPhone 13). I bought this, and I am not returning it. I planned to return it and buy in another state (tax free), but I am not even doing that because I use this thing everyday (my last day to return was yesterday).

At the same time, I am not interested in extolling its virtues beyond saying: try it. Maybe buy it and try it at home with your MacBook. Maybe you’ll get it, maybe it won’t be for you. What does it matter what others think?

Maybe the low salary is the reason? If it is a bit more costly to automate certain aspects of manual labor, then the low salaries might remove the incentive to do so. This is not the case for software engineering.

There's a second category of unstable features to mention here.

Some of the features are essentially perma-unstable, because they're exposing some compiler intrinsics for the library to be able to use. This is the equivalent of things like __builtin_* for C compilers.
That might be true for Hello World, but libgcc_s is where a lot of builtins for C itself go, so you'll find it ends up linked into a lot of non-trivial C programs as well. See https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Libgcc.html

Free shipping carries a lot more risk for the seller from my experience. I used to do free shipping on eBay until I got an order from a tiny U.S. island that cost me big time to send out. I’ve also had orders from non-shippable addresses that force me into much more expensive carriers. These days I always charge shipping from specific carriers now. You can cancel orders as an eBay seller for tricky situations but you get dinged on your account.
Sometimes my mind wanders until I decide I want a "01" and I tap on the "01" tile at the bottom to select it. If the "01" is alredy selected, it switchs to the "02". But I tapped the "01" to select the "01" in spite it's already selected! (I have the same problem with the "02".)

My recomendation is to change the logic of the selection at the bottom. Instead of switching each time, I'd like that if I tap on the left bottom I select the "01", and if I tap on the right bottom I select the "02".

No. Which surely you ought have predicted me saying.

Most humans are constantly given positive and negative reinforcement to social norms, aligning us. This is not even remotely like a lobotomy.

> In the US there are thousands of overlapping and independent sales tax authorities. Each tax authority has their own complex sales tax rules with respect to what products they apply to and the rates. Each authority can change these on an arbitrary schedule.

Still, seems like the retailer is in a better position to handle that complexity than the consumer. Surely it's better to have the retailer advertise the post-tax price (and occasionally lose money if they wrote the price tag assuming one set of taxes, and determined a different one applied at checkout) than for the customer not to know whether the $30 item they are buying is $32 or $38. It's not even that important that the customer's receipt correctly itemizes the taxes - that's nice, but it matters more that the retailer pays the right amount to the tax collector at the end of the year.

Also, "thousands of overlapping sales tax authorities" overstates the complexity. A typical retail location (the level at which price tags are usually decided) deals with 0-3.

No, in a competitive market they are not necessarily “passing that cost on.” For instance, an online retailer must compete with bricks-and-mortar stores. At local stores, all shipping and returns are free. If online retailer’s price is too high, it might simply lose the sale. Its price, including shipping, must compete with the price at the store.

I hear this “passing the cost on” argument all the time and it always presumes that the consumer is the only cost taker. It forgets that costs can also get passed to someone else: the shareholders, in the form of lower profits.

I think I may have a business idea:

Instead of shipping items to each individual customer, what if we instead built locations that were stocked with items that customers are likely to buy. Then you can ship things by the truckload to the location.

And here is the kicker, you can have the customer come in and select and pay for items they want. This avoids having to do the last mile shopping of individual items to the customer. In addition, the customer can often get (common) items even faster than even next day shipping.

What does everyone think? Does this idea have some possibility?

It's Tesla that has a substantial Chinese (and European) footprint where BYD is operating though.

As someone who uses Neovim, I would love to have a near-vim experience in something that has all of the convenience of VSC + a great plugin ecosystem. However, I'm not sure about the fact that in `normal` mode `:` just brings up the `cmd+shift+p` command dialog. Maybe I could get used to it, but the fact that something as simple as my muscle memory for "I'm in `normal` mode, better type `:w` just to make sure I've saved" automatically bringing up that dialog and then suggesting I `Close current window` immediately... is not helpful. If the command experience is going to be so different from vim them it's not really going to ever be a suitable replacement even for brief stints/pairing IMO. It's a shame because the VS Code vim plugin leaves a lot to be desired.
