> React’s logical model of recreating the UI on change of state is incredibly difficult to do right at scale.

What's much more difficult at scale is doing this without React.

In the old days when building a complex front-end web app, your app would slowly devolve into complex web of event handlers changing the DOM, and you'd eventually arrive at the conclusion that you'd eventually arrive at the conclusion that centralizing state and triggering UI updates based on those changes was the only sane thing to do. And then you'd end up either: 1) re-rendering the whole DOM on ALL state changes -- which came without its own set of problems of which performance was just one, or 2) manually hooking up callbacks to change pieces of the DOM as the relevant pieces of state changed -- which was only slightly less of a nightmare to maintain then the event handler spaghetti you were coming from. Also another dev your team would always just hook up and event another event handler to change the DOM somewhere, and ignore your state entirely.

React actually made this both much more performant and much easier to maintain.

If you aren't building a complex web app with a lot interconnected interactions and state changes, you don't have to use React. If you are, I encourage you to build it with jQuery, and look forward to your follow up blogpost.
> How many millions of content creators are there out there?

So many that the scales of things have changed beyond recognition. The democratisation of tools and access to audiences has made things explode.

I read recently that there is more music recorded in a week these days than was recorded in the entire 1970s. With that amount of content being created, the vast, vast majority of creators aren't going to find a way to make themselves stand out and get paid.
I have a similar setup, including the A5 notebook and fountain pens. I alternated colors for a while, but lately I've taken to using a stub nib with flamboyant ink to make a header for each note (meeting / subject plus date), and a big piston-filler with an extra fine nib and a more sober ink for the actual contents. I'm far too lazy to keep a table of contents, so this makes it easy to leaf through and find what I'm looking for. Plus I rarely have to stop and fill pens.

Follow the guide all the way until you get to "Loading our model in Oobabooga". Then ignore the rest. You can do inference in Ooba under the Notebook tab.

(You can also ignore the "enabling HTTP API" parts, but it's quite handy, it's an OpenAI-compatible API which means you can use any OpenAI-compatible web UI)
The Heatherbot AI
Honestly the whole concept of having 2 screens, one showing you what’s directly behind it and another one showing the other person your eyes (also directly behind it) seems so wasteful.

There needs to be some technology advancement where you can overlay all the safari windows and apps onto a real see-through screen before this thing gains any real traction. This way you could get rid of 2 screens, a bunch of cameras, a dedicated chip that does the pass-through, the battery pack, half the weight and half the cost (or more).

I believe Meta is trying something like this with their Ray Ban glasses.
Let’s face it.

WSL is so buggy it's hilarious calling it "awesome". It's a hack and it manifests in various ways, often. You will become quite acquainted with "taskkill /f /im wsl.exe"

It's had many bumps in the road. Networking, VPNs, filesystem etc.

I'm trying to use it right now. "apt-get install dotnet-sdk-8.0" and the system is now totally unresponsive and commands are hanging. I have no idea what it's doing.

It's actually a great advert for native Linux. If your hardware works OK with Linux, run it, and put Windows in a VM if you really need Office/Power BI etc

(Hyper-V on the desktop is also a joke. The Ubuntu from the gallery (which I presumed would be properly designed, tested, QAd etc) had an issue installing the set up packages from apt. It was doing 1 every 5 minutes - maybe a networking bug or something. I gave up)
Not sure that is what keeps most away
I think listing required packages, even just for the most common linux distro would be a good start.

In this case he's probably missing linux-headers for his kernel version?

If people download your project and the build fails, it's very, very, very likely that they'll give up right away. You have to be very, very interested in a project to be bothered to research and install undocumented dependencies and their versions and then fight the build.
Is the entire idea of paying for bandwith not absurd ? You can't really control it

I have some websites with milions + autogenerated webpages and it's flooded by bot activity that I don't particularly care about.

I've blocked some through cloudflare but some look exactly like he describes: old machines with old versions of some OS and browser scattered around the globe that seem to be scanning my entire website, maybe for AI training purpose ?

The point is, I can't block them at all.

Any person seeing a user that normally has a $0/$10 per month bill suddenly spike to $104K would see that this is obviously a DDoS.

If it has always been a "policy" to forgive bills, shouldn't it have been 100% forgiven immediately after OP contacted support in the first place? Why go through the trouble of playing the hero by offering "discounts".
I am the proud gardener of seven paw paw trees. I've been tending them for a little more than three years now and am very VERY excited for when (if ever) they produce fruit! I wish there were more places to find other varieties (e.g. not Asimona Triloba) that might help with pollination.

That's simply CoffeeScript, if you set an awkward screen resolution to overflow the screen on the right.
It’s a rather different scenario. You bought the laptop, you own it. That used to mean something.

If Musk wants to paywall all Twitter content, or heck, rebrand it into a StarWars fan club, who cares? Not I. But I care about my computer.
What is remarkable here is that every single thing you say is correct.

Everything on your statistical list looks right, and can probably be
proven by a stack of peer-reviewed scientific studies from medicine,
sociology, psychology...

And yet as an argument, it's worthless. Worse... it's dangerous.

Because in your schema, the impact of climate change, pollution and
other threats that will end this species each rank as zero! You get
to "pass on your genes" merely to consign a few hundred of your
descendents to a miserable death.

This is the tyranny of instrumental reason that you so cleverly use
against the goal (reproduction of genes) that you purport to champion.
What do you mean by quining the prompt ?
There's an experimental feature in Go that lets you write python-like generators that work with range() and the callback is called `yield`. Here's some details: https://go.dev/wiki/RangefuncExperiment

That's probably what the post is talking about.

(I personally don't love this change, but now that it's clear Go 2.0 won't happen, it seems like some of the more outlandish ideas are making it into Go 1.x. Ah well.)

Most gamers game on mediocre to poor GPUs, which are still more powerful than the current iGPUs. My assumption is that such APU would be cheaper than the equivalent CPU + discrete GPU and there's a large demand for budget gaming (e.g. students).

Ultimately we will see if/when the Strix Halo gets released, how priced it will be and how successful. I would likely buy a laptop with it.
Not billions, but I was in a similar position. What saved me was the GPL license on the open source code and hiring a lawyer that kept my ownership of any software I wrote (though at a reduced hourly for them) and patenting new ideas connected to the project. When it came time for the company to scale up, I couldn’t have been in a better position.

Of course it is, that's been covered upthread.

Literally the post you're replying to says:

So, to be clear:

It's categorically terrorism.
I've signed it, and passed it around, but I really think it'll have no effect.

If they are willing to be a bag of dicks like this to thumb their nose at the whole EU, they aren't going to care about a polite open letter. What needs to be done it to make sure that people know anything broken by this (and Safari being slow to adopt other standards) is Apple's fault.

Most likely me refusing to support Apple anything won't affect them either, but at least I'll feel better not supporting such tactics.
> do not include a concrete reason why they are reducing their workforce

They're always one of two things: 1) the company is failing and we need to do this to stay afloat; or 2) the board thinks we can make more money by doing a round of layoffs and have determined that the negative repercussions of this are worth that money.

I wasn't able to easily find revenue numbers on SIE, just on Sony as a whole, but it seems pretty obvious this is a #2. It doesn't matter how many "stay agile" or other buzzwords they toss out. When you boil it down, it's about a lot of people losing their livelihoods so a few extremely rich people can be a tiny fraction richer.
Stories like this always remind me of when I first moved from my small town to the big city. I did so with another guy from my town who was going to the same college as I was. It's an 18-hour drive to the town I went to college in... So my buddy and I decide to go together, and his dad will drive us in their truck. This was also over 20 years ago. The morning of they show up, we load up, say goodbye to my family, and off we go! About 10 minutes in my buddy giddily said to me "It's only going to take us 14 hours! We found a shortcut!" - and he pulls out 2 pages of printed-out MapQuest instructions.

...26 hours later and various 6ft wide logging paths later, we arrived at college!
Sony is saying PS5 is entering ‘The Latter Stage of Its Life Cycle’[0] while there are only 13 PS5 exclusive titles available [1]. So PS5 is propably not doing well.

Afaik, it's also legally inadvisable to ever be precise on the reason for firing, outside of performance.

So every company with a legal team errs on the side of saying as little as possible.
It's not just algorithm and search. ux for grouping/viewing/hiding/watching later/getting rid of notification thumbs/etc/etc/etc of all your numerous subscriptions is nonexistent and it sucks.
Investors can get 5% risk free from treasuries. How much extra premium do you need for something risky, like Sony stock? The chance for 10%? 20%? This is why layoffs are happening across the economy in a high interest rate environment - the company must be profitable enough to justify the risk premium above a guaranteed 5%.
Yes I should have been clearer, I didn't mean to suggest it was wrong at the time. Just that it may be wrong now. That could be a limitation of my experience though.
Fair point there. That channel would just have to drop for me if the "review" videos got excessive, and find a replacement or no replacement.

I'm looking to skip the embedded ad-read sponsorships, credits, the "thanks for subscribing," and "thanks for our patreons" stuff and sponsorblock does that in spades.
"Movies" with color and music visualize brain activity data in beautiful detail
Worked with a company that outsourced their code. Contract stated that source code must be provided so in an effort to be pricks, the outsourced company provided their code on fanfold dot matrix printouts using a line printer from the 80s. It arrived in three very heavy boxes not even folded neatly.

This reminded me of that for some reason.
They recently announced that PS5 is entering it's twilight phase. Sold better than series X but apparently not well enough. We're still getting new games released for both ps4 and ps5, and the value added on the latter appears marginal.
>Audiovisualization of real-time neuroimaging data

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

Abstract

Advancements in brain imaging techniques have significantly expanded the size and complexity of real-time neuroimaging and behavioral data. However, identifying patterns, trends and synchronies within these datasets presents a significant computational challenge. Here, we demonstrate an approach that can translate time-varying neuroimaging data into unique audiovisualizations consisting of audible representations of dynamic data merged with simplified, color-coded movies of spatial components and behavioral recordings. Multiple variables can be encoded as different musical instruments, letting the observer differentiate and track multiple dynamic parameters in parallel. This representation enables intuitive assimilation of these datasets for behavioral correlates and spatiotemporal features such as patterns, rhythms and motifs that could be difficult to detect through conventional data interrogation methods. These audiovisual representations provide a novel perception of the organization and patterns of real-time activity in the brain, and offer an intuitive and compelling method for complex data visualization for a wider range of applications.
Yes, the article doesn't even attempt to provide evidence:

Three months after the Houthis began attacking merchant ships, the Yemenite rebels have carried out another one of their threats. "Globes" has learned that four submarine communication cables have been damaged in the Red Sea between Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and Djibouti in East Africa.

It's their prerogative to publish whatever they like, and it's our prerogative to believe what we like, but if you want to actually understand something you'll need to be more rigorous than that.
Do you ever really need to do that on AWS though? Can you really bog down S3 by having loads of requests to a single bucket?
I use Grammarly Premium for the last few years but recently have shifted mostly to online tool for longer writings and edits. I do have the Safari Extension running. I have not seen any form or upsell or ads, and I unsubscribed from their marketing emails.

Thank you for your insights. I understand the concerns you've raised, but there's also another side to DNS that's often overlooked: its role as a globally available, distributed database for storing small amounts of data linked to domain names.

Now, I'm not saying that people should start to host their files on DNS, but for simple, personal "banner" like pages that say "Hi, I'm X, love cats, catch me on @email" that should be OK, may be easier than setting up a separate hosting, and make the web more inclusive for non-technical users. Storing and transferring a few hundred bytes for this purpose under a distinct namespace/zone in a niche use case should be well within the capacity of the existing DNS software and infrastructure. We already have other standardized, dedicated classes of informational ("Layer 7 data") DNS records like HINFO and RP, so why not store a piece of text that would have a meaning for humans and present it in a nicely formatted (themes) and accessible (HTTP) way.

The way I see it is as a scale: DNS TXT records may be ok to use for small, simple, informational pages; - static hosting (GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, etc.) should be used for longer texts, pages with custom assets (e.g., images), or multi-page sites; - SSGs and dedicated platforms for blog and bigger websites (Jekyll, Wordpress, etc.); - VPSes, EC2, Lambda, Firebase etc. for bigger things; - ending probably with dedicated servers, networking, and own ASNs for big online platforms. There is always some amount of data or activity above which one should switch to the next level, but switching to it requires additional knowledge and resources; and the other way around, buying and maintaining a dedicated server just to host a simple, static website with low traffic is an overkill.

Also, one thing about the app's architecture may be worth highlighting: The app uses a pre-set DoH provider (currently Cloudflare) to resolve DNS queries on the client-side, so the impact on the DNS ecosystem is close to none as only the source DNS server and the DoH resolver store and transfer these TXT records. Such setup also protects sites against mitm attacks. If the traffic becomes too big for Cloudflare infrastructure (if that's even possible), we can always setup and switch to our own dedicated DoH endpoint. Similarly, if the DNS hosting provider thinks it's abusing their servers, they can increase pricing or limit the number and/or length of TXT records their customers can setup for a single domain.
Quite fast, because of a parallel algorithm. Many benchmarks said so, too.

But I cannot directly compare, how it works out for real, as I did not finish yet migrating my engine from Box2D (also in wasm) to rapier and just did some small experiments with rapier otherwise.
It’s different for everyone, but for me, it’s similar to the 1 minute section like you mentioned. I integrate it within my video. Not sure if this is what you’re referring to, but if someone doesn’t disclaim that something was sent to them or paid to say it. Highly illegal.

Reason I say Patreon is a lot more work is because usually you need to build an incentive with Patreon as well (community, BTS, extra content).
Yes, that was my understanding. Also unlimited bandwidth even on the free tier. So you get protection from DDoS and asshole business practices ;) Although there might be other caveats
Well maybe don't drive off existing and future customers by pulling rug from underneath their feet one day, then back track and promise it will not happen again.

Imagine a bank suddenly told all customers 30% of their saving will be taken, then backtrack. Only an insane/ignorant person will stay with them.

Only thing that I can think of is public ousting and crucifixion of leadership, followed by some strong legal protection of current engine's fees for X years into the future. To build the trust back.
I’m not sure you’re optimizing correctly here…
They only recently announced that the PS5 is rapidly reaching its EOL. It is seemingly not selling well at all. The early issues with supply and the lack of actually interesting games that are not just remakes has clearly not helped.
Exactly, today it seems like an excuse to not think at all, and even if you call out something what will definitely not scale (e.g. your stupid O(n^3) approach will blow up even already going to 100 items, and you know your max will be more around 1000, just as an abstract example)... and those guys laughing at you with premature optimization blah at the same time well knowing and muttering "the prototype becomes the product" and you know where you will end with this planned tech debt having consequences on the whole architecture.. all could have been avoided with just a little more being less lazy and telling bs about premature optimization.

Sure, the most common reason is "the shareholders & execs will make more money if we get rid of you." (No, this is not the same as "we don't need you.")

I think the ultimate problem with Boeing is that they're too big to fail. They're too important to the US's strategic interests so the government won't allow them to go out of business despite gross incompetence.

> > We seem to have stumbled over the solution to overpopulation. Wealth.

> Wealth historically has been associated with a higher fertility rate.

Two different definitions of "wealth". "Wealth" meaning "at least industrial revolution non-poverty levels of wealth" has been associated with declining birthrates, pretty much worldwide, across many decades. "Wealth" meaning "among the top 1% of your society" has been associated with higher birthrates.
I do not get that class components are in any way simpler. Before, you had to think about explicit configuration states during the components entire lifecycle. Now, you just... don't?

> I even went so far that when a founder of a major transactional email service sent me an email regarding Nodemailer and offered to make a donation to promote my efforts, I rejected it.

To all of you around here who do FOSS, please reconsider this kind of attitude. The ones offering can be employees, and they had to argue your case.

Just a couple weeks ago I asked a maintainer of one our Rust dependencies to give us a quote for fixing an issue. I had beforehand negotiated the deal with the CTO, it could have been anywhere up to $5k for roughly one day of work. No license involved, just money against some of their time to improve their open source code. To my dismay, they refused and did it "for free" while giving us a link for a donation.

Guess what? The donation never came. It doesn't make sense for the ones who think in ROI, even less for the CFO behind them. Now I'm too ashamed to even show up on the issue board so we're all at a loss.
That's a good point for other Apple products, but in this case, many other companies are not supporting the "platform" (Netflix, Spotify, YouTube); this may diminish the LTV of Vision Pro and its successors. I mention successors because the obvious next step is to put a $600 fancy detachable headband on an iPhone and call it Apple Vision (not pro).

It may be that Apple's abusive track record in the App Store ends up getting them locked out of whatever the next thing is since it's clear that gated, extractive monopolistic practices are core to their identity and business model.
My understanding (and you probably already know) is that PawPaws are pollinated by flies (and not bees).

At a medieval/fantasy campground I've planted thousands of trees at, we located the pawpaw trees near the bathrooms and trash cans. Both of which attract flies.

Perhaps when (or shortly before) the pawpaws are in bloom, you dump some charnel or other biowaste near the trees to help attract flies?
That's fair as long as we're consistent, personally I always prick my ears at "terrorism" after seeing it politicized for most of my adult life.
