Different people have different things they are worried about. I’m personally concerned about Chrome’s dominance and I think iOS not allowing alternative browsers is the only thing holding back Chromium’s total victory.

I know some here would welcome a single browser target, but I personally think it concentrates too much power with Google.

Privacy is a related concern. I think it’s only going to take one killer app to really launch an alternative App Store. A few years ago when Fortnite was super popular, Fortnite fans would have installed an Epic store in a heart beat if it meant they could play Fortnite.

Once an alternative App Store has significant power, I think they are going to be able to start eroding some of the iOS privacy guarantees. That will be done in the name of consumer interest - things are cheaper here because we can give you better, targeted ads! - but in the long run I don’t think teenagers getting some special Fortnite loot is in their best interests if it means tighter surveillance.

I could also see school districts and/or testing organizations require installations of super invasive anti-cheating apps. There have already been cases of school districts getting caught spying on kids with school issued laptop webcams.

In the end, Apple’s stubbornness and greed brought this on. If they would have been more reasonable, I think both the company and their users would be a lot better off.
Did you include the eternal pressure from bad managers in your... analysis, let's call it generously? Did it occur to you that people want to put research into their code but are not given time to do so?

And finally, did it occur to you that "just leave and find a better company" is not possible for everyone? Not to mention that most companies are mediocre-to-bad so the "better" companies are a small and very finite pool.

Comments like yours paint a wrong picture and are not helpful or productive.
It depends on if you want to expose filesystem semantics or metadata to applications using it. For example random access writes are done by ffmpeg, which is a workhorse of the media industry, but most things can't handle that or are too slow. We had to build our own solution cunoFS to make it work properly at high speeds.

We need virtual memory to avoid the consequences of memory fragmentation. If every process shares the same address space, you might be unable to start a process despite having plenty of free ram, because that ram is scattered all over the address space. Virtual memory allows the process to see a contiguous range of free memory even when the physical memory is fragmented.

My use case (covered by postman but not Bruno) is to test a code base where unit testing is not available.

We have multiple environments with multiple parallel versions (think like dev/staging/prod and current/legacy), these deployments mostly have the same API with slightly different urls and credentials

We use multiple environments to easily switch between the various versions both for one-off operations (like a clear cache call that only needs to be called few times a year in response to external actions) and to manually test features.

I can see why not everybody would have this use case

Iirc Bruno does not have enough environment/variables/pre-post-request scripting support
Don't read too much into the comments you see here, it's not representative.

Staunch privacy supporters like myself often use very strong language to describe despicable companies like Google when asked questions about privacy and tracking like the one in this post and HN consistently removes all of those comments because in this world no one's fee fee's may ever be hurt, for any reason. Even if a company essentially permanently lives up your butt, like Google, that is still no reason to hurt people's fee fees.
As a tangent, the author says Tesseract based OCR didn’t work very well. Sadly this matches my experience too.

What products (open source or closed) have higher accuracy for vanilla English documents?
Isn't that a limitation imposed by the POSIX APIs, though, as a direct consequence of the interface's representation of hierarchical filesystems as trees? As you've illustrated, that necessitates walking the tree. Many tools, I suppose, walk the tree via a single thread, further serializing the process. In an admittedly haphazard test, I ran `find(1)` on ext4, xfs, and zfs filesystems and saw only one thread.

I imagine there's at least one POSIX-compatible file system out there that supports another, more performant method of dumping its internal metadata via some system call or another. But then we would no longer be comparing the S3 and POSIX APIs.

It's basically indisputable. Ask any online advertising buyer about the effectiveness of audience targeting for Safari users versus the competition.

There are several ways in which something like this could be implemented, but I can't help thinking that one should already know enough stuff to give a good description that they might as well just write the code anyway.

In any case, only formal languages for me, please.
Oh you're a Chrome user too? :-)
The simplistic framing and acting like this is some poor companies being beat up by a poorly defined conspiracy of everyone else trying to skew an election. Reality is just so much more complicated, and I’d start with the thought that perhaps this is getting attention now because a lot of people are feeling financial pressure and that is triggering interest from many different parties.
Interesting! We recently visited Parque Arqueológico Nacional de Tierradentro[1] in southern Colombia. The Hypogea remind me very much of the ones in Malta you shared. There, IIRC, they were saying they were 3,000 years old, but now online I'm seeing 600-900AD, so I'm unsure of the age, but it's neat to see a similar independently developed solution to a problem.

Progressives love to quote that one letter, but it's an outlier from the more universalist principles he repeatedly said in everything else he wrote and spoke (though people are complicated and can simultaneously hold conflicting views or change their views over time).

Non-violent civil disobedience can obviously be good (Rosa Parks, protest walks, etc.), but when it becomes shouting down others so they can't speak it's crossed into something illiberal and bad.

The ability for people who deeply disagree to speak and engage in a high level of discourse is how classical liberalism works. Often people hold deeply held beliefs, and often those beliefs are wrong - if persuasion is not on the table you don't improve your society - you just descend into political violence.

Talking to people you deeply disagree with (we're doing that now!) is a virtuous thing and it's something MLK did repeatedly with universalist principles that harkened back to the founding fathers and the rights shared by every individual, it's something both MLK and the founding fathers understood.

What makes the resulting topology great for matrix math, vs. non-matrix math workloads? Naively if you know you‘re „only“ going to multiply matrices, what do you need the flexibility and fast context-switching for? Is the end-game here that you can lay out the workload s.t. you have a series of closely colocated cores carrying out the operations of some linalg expression one after the other and the memory for intermediate results right in between, or something like that?

You did not have to scrape the pdfs using the website link. They have bulk downloads indexed by year (IIRC). I remember grabbing these because I had to OCR a bunch of summaries to extract data for some NLP I was running. Also, IIRC grabbing the predicates was pretty easy w/ tesseract.
I noticed similar behaviour in an older model (Skywork 13B) a few months back. When asked in Chinese, it would politely say that nothing of note occurred when responding to queries about Tiananmen Square, etc. In English, it would usually respond truthfully. It was deliberate in the case of Skywork, based on their model card (https://huggingface.co/Skywork/Skywork-13B-base):

Your explanation is an exemplar of constrained thinking. Thinking
inside the box, or having limited horizons [0].

You start off correctly; markets are "part of reality". That rightly
implies some other "rest of reality", does it not?

You then define all value only within the limited logic of
markets. And wish to a universalise it as "society's built-in
mechanism".

Mathematics is a "humanity". Reading some, you'll gain understanding
of Gödel, Whitehead and Russell who would alert you to the logic that
a system can't deal with what's outside itself.

Markets are a system. A very simplified one.

Humanities are precisely that project that transcends simple models
like markets. Humanities attempt to cover a bigger,
meta-reality. It has nothing to do with "rich kids". Some of the
greatest philosophers, writers and scientists (what we call 'STEM' now
was once "natural philosophy") were dirt poor.

To be more frank, to think only about markets and "maximising
earnings" is stubborn, insular and self-limiting. It's a great way to
stay cloistered and never contribute anything of value to the world.

Sure we have professional economists. But not everyone should reduce
them-self to the level of economics.

[0] EDIT: these are not words meant to insult or belittle - they are
to mean exactly what they mean on face value. There is no 'shame' in
thinking with limited horizons, or seeing in an involuted way if
you've been exposed to nothing else but are open minded to imagine
there is more to the world.

Yeah, these people probably never tried to learn math, otherwise they'd know that notation is 100% your friend and trivial to learn compared to grasping the concepts.

I think I became a significantly better programmer when I began to understand the value of programming from the perspective of others in a business. I still run into engineers who are technically stronger than me - why wouldn't I? There's finite time in the world and infinite depth to study. It seems a lot of engineers have a penchant for going deeper and deeper and, from my perspective, it can result in a desire to overengineer solutions. It's fun and interesting to play to one's strengths and, as the technical expert in the room, others have to listen to your guidance. If you say the technical thing needs to be built then it's hard to argue against it.

But... I dunno. It's possible I am just getting lazier as I get older, but I've found that improving my communication skills, helping stakeholders understand the costs of what they're asking, verifying the value that expected cost is expected to generate, and getting alignment on delivering 80% of the solution with 50% of the effort is what others truly value and reward.

That said, it likely depends on your domain, too. The technical difficulty of engineering jobs likely varies wildly between fields.

Anyway, to answer the question more directly, I became a better developer when I became passionate about a project I had a vested interest in seeing succeed. Only then did I find the motivation to research problems to the depth necessary to have "ah hah!" moments. I found myself in this position by working on a personal project until it became popular. The popularity then fueled my desire for increased status, I poured myself deeply into the project, and levelled up my technical abilities significantly as a result. Once I had that experience, though, it seemed like there was diminishing returns on difficulty/knowledge acquisition, as you seem to be noting, so I focused on becoming a more well-rounded technical person rather than pursuing depth.
In many developed nations, this is a valid concern which is even more problematic given that developed nations have the wealth to afford to let people take parental leave.

If you are still hearing about population explosions with the same urgency that we heard about 20 years ago, then you’re being fed information meant to vilify the “others”.
I'm kind of surprised that Mohammed can't be found on either list. The most common first name in the world probably, and neither it hasn't been approved or rejected, meaning that nobody has even tried in Iceland. That's how small of a county it is I suppose.
You can’t do that either. You are dependent on grant funding which means you can’t just research what you want, you need to tailor it to what the grant writer wants. If you want to truly research what you want you need your own huge pile of money.
I couldn't imagine a community 'leadership: telling me what to do and wear :(

Of course we in the modern world are also a bit limited in terms of what we can buy but I often make my own pretty extravagant stuff to wear. Not always appreciated by conservatives but I couldn't care less.

Ps nobody in the Netherlands wears helmets on bikes and we don't really need to. But I guess collisions with cars are more common in areas where bikes are less common. I've fallen many times but I always had my arm protecting my head in reflex even though it happened so fast I didn't even realise.

The thing is that we don't view bikes as an exercise or sports thing you gear up for but just a convenience thing you grab for the 500m run to the shop. Besides having to put it on you'd be stuck having to carry it as well.

And bikes are kinda the king of the road in Holland anyway. If you get hit by a car it's automatically their fault so they're really careful.
No hate taken. The art is not the artist, etc. :)

I'm in the middle of writing up a self-reflective post about this and I just wrote the following:

"Ultimately, the way I'm presenting the data is egregious and unnecessary. I can see why people are annoyed about it. The extra visuals and interactions get in the way of what's being shown, they don't enhance it. Tapping around feels fun to me, but it isn't helping people understand. This experiment prioritised form way more than it prioritised function."

We've come to some of the same conclusions, though you in more detail than me. The idea about clicks not being idempotent wasn't something I ever noticed, but now you've said it I can't not.

The article also mentions a child's fingerprint surviving in a clay figurine. This comment section is pretty wild; the article is pretty clear that there is a lack of consensus and multiple competing theories, yet so many comments seem to pick a single theory and run with that in exclusion of others.

Given that these figurines were being produced for over 10k years with a global distribution, I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that multiple mutually exclusive interpretations could have been true in different places and times.

And, hell, Barbie. In the last 100 years, we have observed a doll in the form of an adult woman go from being successfully marketed to adult men, to being successfully marketed to young girls. Why would we assume these Venus figurines had a single purpose?

But I searched the docs for "durability" and got zero results. Before I use anything like this, I'd like to see what durability settings are used:

Litestream documents the their data loss window, it seems like Neon should too:

https://litestream.io/tips/

By default, Litestream will replicate new changes to an S3 replica every second. During this time where data has not yet been replicated, a catastrophic crash on your server will result in the loss of data in that time window.

I also searched for "data loss" and got zero results -- this is important because Neon is almost certainly sacrificing durability for performance.
> I'm not an ES[0-9] ninja enough to know what the practical implication is of those decisions

Well, it makes it non-compliant and makes it unable to run some (horrible, yet compliant) ES5 scripts. "undefined", "arguments", "globalThis", "window" and "self" are just variables which can be aliased and overwritten, so considering them keywords is broken.

Disallowing "const" and "let", which only became reserved in ES6, isn't a big deal as any modern interpreter uses them, but does also limit valid ES5 scripts from running.

(And yes, it's very weird that "undefined" is just a property on the global object that has not been assigned a value. Feels like someone trying to be "smart" instead of just giving it a keyword...)
