> I am very well cognisant of this fact, but this bears absolutely no relationship with async await vs fibers

The ruby environment does not have async/await, and has a desire for experimentation with user mode concurrency systems due to the impact of GIL on the utility of native threads. Running under an interpreter with primarily heap-allocated objects and a patchable runtime also means that you have less impact from switching to such a model as an application developer.

There were discussions that this somehow pertained to a wider discussion on async/await vs fibers, specifically in rust which does have proper utilization of threads and does have async/await support. Since rust is also operating based on native code, it would need to have changes such as putting fiber suspension logic in all I/O calls between itself and the underlying OS to support developer-provided concurrency.

Frankly, I think the only place such interview panels or loops really make sense is in something like Product Management, where you might need to interface well with Sales, Marketing, Engineering, UX, executives.
It's a valid point, Nitric isn't a good fit in some cases. We've been working on improvements to the underlying provider implementation to allow for easier extension for non-standard cases. Nitric is a gRPC API under the hood, so alternate implementations can be built to satisfy the APIs when customization is needed.
Forgive the naive question, but to pair with the GP, thoughts:

1. Wouldnt this also be helpful in understanding the exact nature of all traffic/calls against a particular page, user-workflow matriculating through your site from a UX perspective?

2. Could one make a proxy from this on a local home egress such that you could see the nature of outbound network traffic to site you visit (more importantly, traffic heading to 3rd-party trackers/cookies' APIs via your site visits?

3. Could it be used to nefariously map open API endpoints against a system one is (whiteHat) pen testing?

Well in general, I've noticed 'computer scientist', 'software engineer', etc has come to be synonymous with 'web dev'. I'm an AI compiler engineer, and when I introduce myself to people who I meet who themselves are web dev engineers (which is the majority), they'll ask me 'what framework' I use (obviously supposed to mean React, Vue, etc). No judgement.... just something I've noticed

Are there any publicly traded companies that you feel are doing a great job? It would be interesting to see what differences there are in the composition of major investors.

My understanding was that for most S&P500 companies, the index funds like Vanguard generally hold majority voting shares (exceptions being like Facebook, where unusual amounts of voting stock are retained by the founder).

So if the problem was “investors” I’d imagine that you’d be unable to find any S&P500 company that people thought was doing a good job.

If you grep the entire c++ draft from https://eel.is/c++draft/ with the word 'undefined', it will return '1087', as it was generated on 2024-02-28 from the LaTeX sources...not 1 or 2, but 1087 freaking times!!!

> I've always wondered about the accuracy of the book

It's a work of fiction. I suspect it is as accurate as a japanese book about america or hollywood's depiction of the wild west.

Early on, the book describes blackthorne as being a head and shoulders taller than the locals. That may be true in 1900s england, but in 1600s ( really 1500s ) england, an englishman was generally closer to 5 feet than 6 feet. And as you noted the comical suicides and extreme behavior of the characters doesn't seem realistic at all.

Shogun probably reflects 1600s japan as well as Fargo reflects 1990s Dakotas/Minnesota ( and that was based on a true story! ).

Agreed, the font has a lot of playful character without giving away that it was designed for a specific functional purpose. And it looks like it's freely licensed as well, so not only is it free to use, but it's also free to ship alongside things.

However, note that it does feature mirrored "b" and "d", which can be difficult to distinguish for people with dyslexia.

Theres a few differences between Intel and Google here. The first two points are from Peter Thiel:

1. Google really didn't know what to do with its excess money, which was why it was just stockpiling it and not using it to invest in its own business.

Intel, by contrast, always knew (at least in the Noyce/Grove era) what to do with its money.

2. Google's "side projects" were false-flags and smokescreens to make it look like it wasn't a monopoly. (Thiel says it much better himself in his article and speech titled "competition is for losers"-highly recommended).

Intel did a similar thing around the turn of the century, when it started making ARM chips--not because they were the most profitable thing they could be doing but because they didn't want to look like a monopoly.

And, of course, you really hit the nail on the thumb here:

> Of course the founders have majority voting shares

Yeah. The executives of google and facebook just don't face the same accountability from the shareholders that the execs of any honestly-governed public company does.

Its a two-edged sword: if google or facebook needs to spend a lot of money to pivot, they have the flexibility to do that in a way which other companies don't. However, the flip side implication is that, e.g. Zuckerberg can just spend $10 billion on a huge project, without being at all held accountable if it fails.
this sort of stuff is barely a drop in the bucket, and savvy politicians consistently try and succeed in directing public complaints towards these types of scapegoats and away from the fact they have completely forgone the public interest in exchange for appeasing the de facto "landed gentry" who lucked their way into owning an expensive asset that they dont want to get rid of.

That was the rule I was hoping exists but couldn't bother to look up.

Totally makes sense and fits well with CSS custom properties.

While naming rules as syntax might seem smelly when it exceeds banning keywords as identifiers, I find this to be a sensible and well-thought-out rule, similar to the Custom Element dash-tag-name rule (notwithstanding other issues with the Web Component standard)

It's KISS and does it's best to make a good tradeoff regarding forwards-compatibility.

Where is the "uncovering" in this? It's not even an open secret, it's just known reality.
It already does!
Sure but for this discussion this feels like moving the goalposts. Is it possible for FOSS to make a smartwatch? The answer is yes. Apple tends not to lead product categories either, letting companies like Samsung and Meta try new features before they are proven. That’s more a development strategy than a limitation on what FOSS can do. Look at 3D printers, which exploded in popularity in the OSS world after the patents expired. Yes a commercial company made them first, but the wealth of experimentation on new price points and features happened in the FOSS world.
And why ever not? It's a perfectly good solution, no?

What the GP alludes to is interesting though - mythologising of
organisations, brands and names.

Spend enough time with "famous" people, "big names", centres of power
and prominence and you quickly see everyone is just ordinary dudes
doing ordinary things with ordinary gear. But for some reason there's
fuck loads of money and attention, and sometimes cloying paranoia and
adulation floating around.

Sure, right out on the periphery are a noble few who play with
particle accelerators, spaceships and bunker supercomputers. But then,
that's just a day job too.

True genius/exceptionalism is rare and found in the unexpected
places. The rest is conjured out of thin air by marketing and PR
people, the press, and commentators. They are the ones who need the
big legend.

I am denying that it is as serious as you say. exFAT has been around for nearly two decades, and nearly everything from the past 15 years supports it.

If you choose to format an SD card as FAT32 because your 20 year old device doesn't support exFAT, that is entirely reasonable. Maybe a 20 year old device doesn't have much use for >4GiB files either. On the other hand, if your device does support exFAT, there isn't any reason to avoid it. The lack of file size limit should be a particular advantage (with 1080p and especially 2160p video, >4GiB files are common).
Yeah, on the web, just use font-family: sans-serif (or, now that browsers don't systematically default to a serif font anymore, just nothing at all) and let the user see the default font, or the font they picked. It also improves everything else in contrast with a web font: it saves bandwidth and therefore cost, it saves page load time and therefore SEO and user retention. And it's not worse, nay better, than the font you arbitrarily picked.

The default font needs to be dyslexic friendly on a dyslexic's computer if it's not already, and it should be the OS's job to ensure this.

I am afraid there's no one size fits all wrt fonts and accessibility because I suspect different conditions have different requirements, so you can't pick yourself as a web designer.

We indeed need dyslexic friendly fonts among others so dyslexic people can configure their devices with one that they like, fonts that are indeed actually proven as being effective as another commenter said. No proof: it didn't happen.
> anyone who has ever owned a cat knows that they are only barely domesticated

just speculating, but wolves are "pack" animals, so they are already adapted to cooperating with each other and following a leader. perhaps that made them easier to train and domesticate. cats aren't like that except in the "lion pride" breeding sense which is perhaps a narrower skillset in terms of utility.

and of course, anybody who has owned a tiger will tell you that a cat is fairly domesticated :) I mention it because "domesticated" and "useful as a friend" might be two different things.
I had one of these growing up, absolutely fantastic bit of kit for learning. Eventually ended up taking it apart for components, which in hindsight was a bloody stupid idea.

> BTW your assumption

I did not assume. The comment to which I was responding suggested it was the destination IP that was the problem. Generally (but not always) an IP filter would be applied irrespective of protocol. I also pointed out that the initial SYN and reply SYN/ACK are getting through the hypothesized bogon filter and those are part of TCP. I don't think the bogon filter is a hypothesis that fits the evidence.

ETA: but adding connection state tracking + a filter does make sense https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39822214
It is a bit weird that Inclusive Sans' lower case L doesn't have a tail considering this font is very "tail-forward" for lack of a better word.

The thing that irks me the most about Atkinson Hyperlegible is that there is no medium weight and the bold weight is way too heavy for many applications. I also just kinda like the way Inclusive Sans looks more, but the Atkinson letterforms are definitely easily identified even when blurred.

> So, while various companies have set out to automate the giant dump trucks, having a continuous chain of smaller, self-driving trucks using standard parts and without the need for a driver cabin would be much more efficient

So, to anyone with dirt experience, hivekit just called themselves out as being the techies that don't get it.

On-road trucks are fragile and require highly attentive drivers to run without destroying the trucks off-road.

Everything breaks in the dirt, and almost all mining operations need very nuanced knowledge to conduct safely, for people or machines.

> Areas, where traffic is highly structured and controlled.

That isn't mining or the oil patch.

You are dealing with mud, dropped rocks that will take out brake chambers, continually changing conditions etc...

The Moravec Paradox hits all these attempts, because people without domain knowledge under estimate the skills required.

While minimizing operator count is useful, this isn't Minecraft. It takes a lot of skill and being adaptive changing conditions to even different with an excavator.

Some mines with consistent material properties and safe conditions do automate digging up a stope, but most mining requires expertise and informed judgement.

Even in the oilfield, drilling is a high skilled job, were you have to adopt to changing conditions to avoid breaking the drill stem, which is expensive to fish and fix.

Even robots in warehouses are a challenge and that is far closer to the authors claimed conditions.
Adam Neumann Submits Bid to Buy Back WeWork for More Than $500M
One of the co-founders of Nitric here, and I'll bite on this one :)

I hear the separation of concerns between IaC and application code argument quite a bit, but always see an inherent coupling between the two. If changes to your IaC require changes to your application code for your application to continue working then where is the separation of concerns? If its just deployment and runtime, this separation still exists within Nitric: https://nitric.io/docs/reference/providers/custom/building-c... (this is the same way we build our own deployment providers).

With Nitric the primary goal is to increase cohesion between an application and its running infrastructure without increasing coupling to that infrastructure. With current IaC application and infrastructure cohesion is inherently very low, while giving the appearance of low coupling (despite it being quite high).
I was somewhat put off by the abstract:

> LLMs... have demonstrated their powerful capabilities in ... context understanding, code generation, language generation, data storytelling, etc.,

LLMs have not demonstrated understanding (in fact, one could argue that they are fundamentally incapable of understanding); they have only AFAICT demonstrated the ability to generate boilerplate-ish code; "language generation" is too general a task to claim that LLMs have succeeded in; and as for data storytelling I don't know, but they can spin yarns. The problems is that those yarns are often divorced from reality; see:

The root comment of this thread is all about demonising companies and lionising open source. That's why this discussion isn't moving the goalposts. You've moved them to "OSS can also do this" which is not where it started.
I wonder what the definition of "developer portal" is here exactly... It's definitely possible to make a bad one by requiring an onboarding process to access it and hiding information from the public, but I think there's room for good too. As long as your goal is to make integration work easier and not to gate things behind a registration process, a developer portal has the potential to be a good thing.

A little while ago I worked on an integration where I had to implement API endpoints with specific functionality defined by the integration partner, and I found the test functionality they built into their developer portal very helpful. Rather than having to write tests based on their documentation to verify I was implementing the endpoints correctly, I was able to test against the real code on the other side of the integration.

Honestly for companies that require you to log in before accessing API docs, I imagine the decision is being made by non-developers. I suspect the alternative would be getting a PDF emailed to you after having to ask a real human for it.
No. I've run the Rowhammer test in memtest86 on my PC after building it (as part of the whole memtest package to verify my XMP was stable) and got zero errors on 64GB of DDR5 memory over all the passes. If Memtest couldn't do it when trying its hardest to brute force it nobody doing drive-by javascript has any chance to exploit it.

> Also ninjas are depicted as super-powerful badasses. Which fits the legend, certainly, but isn't particularly realistic.

It's very likely ninja (or "shinobi", if you're meticulous) didn't exist at all. There must have been spies and assassins, which are already present in Chinese culture which was a big influence in Japanese culture, but the ninja as a stealthy infiltrator, wearing black clothes and special weaponry is a later day invention.

I actually like that in the remade "Shogun" TV show, the "ninja" attack is replaced by a maid who turns out to be an assassin in the payroll of Toranaga's enemies. Not clad in black or with super powers, just a woman who can handle a sword and attacks by surprise.
So, is this a good investment opportunity, what do you all think?

People really don't understand how big the 'boomers' generation really was. Populations exploded in the post war era and with the rapid rise in technology people were disinterested in doing things in the way of the past. In the US at least there was a mass migration over the country and a massive need for housing that could be quickly built. Later this rapid expansion of 'sameness' would be captured in popular media in songs like "Little Boxes".
