I am a user, and Arc's implementation is one of the very few that I've actually found useful.

I often use it to ask a question about a page's content, especially if there are no obvious keywords to find what I'm looking for that don't appear dozens of times. It's great for technical documentation.

Arc also "unships" things pretty regularly. If the features aren't being used, in not too long someone will suggest removing them and they'll end up being removed.
> It's also interesting to note many food allergies have increased in prevalence in the last 30 years

Wonder how much of this is due to the relatively recent trend of having dual incomes with both parents working?

Cause and effect might be hard to tease out but it’s looking like there are some drastic differences in babies that were born early in the pandemic:

> only about 5% of the lockdown babies had developed a food allergy at age one, compared to 22.8% in the pre-COVID group.

> Of the lockdown babies only 17% needed an antibiotic by the age of one. In the pre-pandemic group, 80% of infants had taken antibiotics by 12 months

Can’t find a link to the original study at the moment but here’s a secondary source:

At the moment, it seems like they're concentrating on using V8 isolates. In the article, there's a good diagram of why: an isolate is able to share so much between different applications. Even with NativeAOT, you're still launching an entire program that has to load everything into memory and execute.

In some ways, they're using V8 isolates the way that mod_php was used back in the day. One reason PHP became so dominant was because PHP was cheap and easy to deploy for small websites. Because the PHP runtime contained 90% of what a person wanted to do with PHP, your PHP code might be a small amount of code that mostly just called standard library functions like `mysql_query()`. If you were running a shared hosting service, you could have huge numbers of people running on the same box because every PHP script would be sharing a single instance of the PHP standard library - and that standard library was fast and written in C. If you wanted to offer Python hosting, each Python app would be duplicating the standard library they were using in memory and also needing lots of web packages that aren't part of the standard library (like a database package). So a minimal Python application was using tons more RAM because it wasn't sharing most of the code with everyone else on the box.

Even with NativeAOT, you're still duplicating a lot when running many different C# projects - as is the case with Go, Java, Ruby, etc. V8 isolates are this case where they tend to be lighter weight because so much can be shared between different users in the system.

In fact, the reason they're supporting Python is because Pyodide (Python interpreter in WASM) allows for dynamic linking. It means they can have a single Pyodide interpreter in memory that's shared by all the Python workers on the same box. Likewise, they can also share Python libraries that two different people on the same box might be using. They note that most languages that target WASM don't support dynamic linking and that the only way they can provide Cloudflare Workers at the price point they offer is because those Workers can share so much rather than duplicating and using more memory for each user.

If you really want C# on Workers, C# does support WASM.
Agreed. For the last three years I’ve been working at a company with literal thousands of repos, and it’s an actual nightmare compared to a well maintained monorepo (eg Facebook/Meta). Sometimes updating some library code means I do 50+ PRs across random repos.
Thanks, we are probably past the age and epoch of when paying to learn manual would make sense for DW, but would like my kids to learn.

When talking about market demand, the only thing that matters is how many people will actually spend money on the thing. Wanting something hypothetically if a bunch of additional conditions are met doesn't really help Tesla. Basically, Toyota was right.

Wow - that sunroof thing is cool, I bet that was a fun area to work on.

There’s a lot to be said for data engineering when done at scale - systems design, devops, cloud engineering etc.

I’m not sure that’s going yet…

Building the individual units (reliable ETL pipelines) might be on the chopping block in the near future - I’m not convinced there’s 100 competing ways to build these.

Still - best way to get started is probably to get stuck in with running a data pipeline using a locally deployed Airflow instance. Read some data from some api and write it to a local database deployment (postgres?).

May I ask the same of web application development?

Ease of detection is not a thing here since nothing is detected. The only thing you can have with Git is figuring out when a change was made after it has been detected - by different means.

And again, when someone can submit to a repository as developer and also make tarball releases, it makes no sense to differentiate between the two if you are worrying about malicious code.

Your original comment was why "maintainers of major distros still rely on questionable tarballs to build packages" instead of Git. And IMO the answer is really simple: because if they trust a project's developers to not put malicious code in their project, it makes no difference if the code came from Git or an explicitly provided release tarball. If such trust wasn't there, chances are the project wouldn't be part of a distribution in the first place.

Forget Toyota/Lexus, that's a bit of a red herring - the point is that there was literally no competition for Tesla in three-row electric vehicles when you bought yours.

Now, you have the choice of a Mercedes-Benz EQB or EQS, a Rivian R1S (as you chose) or a Kia EV9 with Lucid, Hyundai and VW all with products about to enter the market.
Thing is, there is breaking in and there is letting you in. To stick with the analogy, "go on in, the door is unlocked" was accepted in the neighbourhood I grew up in.

It sounds like you like the idea of EVs but not the reality. I'm in the same boat; it's a cool technology, just not currently very practical for my situation. Maybe future technology and infrastructure improvements will change that someday, but we aren't there yet, at least not for me.
> several times denser than Tokyo and London

I just looked at the population density by square mile and SF is not that far ahead of Tokyo and I have a feeling those statistics are either old or inaccurate. There is exponentially more foot traffic in Tokyo and London than in SF, so while I see that the statistic you're referring to does exist--I would question whether they are using similar methodologies or there is something else throwing this off. Tokyo has skyscrapers all over and people everywhere.

You can easily build more than two story row houses--and the quality of life would actually improve. That's why people find NYC desirable--the population density.

>If you want to go anywhere in your car you might spend 10-15 minutes parking.

So take public transportation? Not everyone needs to live in a SFH with a garage.

>Meanwhile, what is wrong with building in San Jose?

I for one don't want to live in San Jose. It's boring and the weather sucks. Why is this the solution to San Francisco's housing shortage? Why do they want to attract homeless people they can't help but not want to build houses for people who actually want to live there? Why can't San Francisco solve its own problems? Houses don't need to be artificially limited to 2 stories. They should increase housing limits to 6-8 stories and allow supply to increase to match demand. San Francisco just makes it difficult/impossible to build with useless permitting processes. The only people who benefit are existing home owners.

> The other example that jumps to mind is George Lucas with the Star Wars prequels.

These were by far not as bad as some people tend to paint them, the problem with the Star Wars prequels IMHO was more that the "old guard" fanbase tends to be quite the whiny bunch.

The sequels are another topic entirely - these were corporate driven projects which isn't a bad sign per se (see the MCU), but unlike the MCU there wasn't a central person like Kevin Feige who actually took care about a cohesive storyline, directors and script writers kept changing, and the SW universe unlike Star Trek or MCU doesn't have a concept of multiple/alternate realities or time travel so a ton of lore went down the drain for nothing.
Even people for whom home charging is not an issue aren't going to abandon their existing gas cars to get an EV that performs the exact same function for a lot more money. Having an EV is not transformational.

Even with a $7,500 discount, there's still a wide gap between the value of the ten-year old gas car in the driveway and the cost of a brand new EV. Not going to a gas station is just not that beneficial to most.
Time and place play into this as well.

We know a lot more about hardware and software development than we did even 10 years ago let alone 50.

Those of us who came into tech in the last 20 years through today did not have as many unknown unknowns to stumble through. It’s all so much more streamlined. There inherently cannot be another Jobs or Gates in IT land same as there will never be another Christopher Columbus

I am a little skeptical about the pebbles because of the problems they had in Germany

which I'd summarize as "in the helium environment the pebbles experience friction that causes significant fuel damage" China and X-Energy seem to think they can solve it but it is also possible to develop prismatic fuel elements that won't slide past each other but will need disassembling the pile at refueling time.

What are the CEO of Hyundai's personal beliefs? Do you even know?

Unlike Musk, the CEO of Hyundai doesn't go out of their way to make sure I'm aware of their opinions. I don't even know the name of Hyundai's CEO, and we bought an Ioniq 5 last year. One might argue such a dichotomy is one of the reasons we didn't buy a Tesla (well, that and the crap build quality).

They really spent a lot of time diving into the complexities of your question and I found it really interesting. Your handwavey, one sentence response without even an example (if there even is one??) is kind of rude in this context.
The issue here is the attackers will quickly move away from an individual attacking you to the group attacking you. The person writing the infected code will never be a jerk to you at all. You'll just suddenly see a huge portion of your mailing list move against you ever so slightly.

Personally my favorite part of using D1 is that the database is managed the same way as everything else, and you just access it through a Workers binding rather than needing any authentication or connection strings or anything. I'm excited to see how the new session API and read replicas work too, since they might be able to reduce DB read latency to being within the same datacenter in many instances. But I only know about as much about the D1 session API and read replicas as anyone else that read the blog post about it.

Just installed and gave it a try. Good initial vibe. One of the first things I wanted to do was share a particular story/summary with someone else (ideally by text or email). Since you’re pushing the sharing idea at the bottom of the front page, maybe you want to consider that option as well? Not much beats getting a potential new user by feeding them the real meat of your product.

I agree that it will be blindingly obvious for the reasons you list.
I met a "Business Co-Founder" once who cornered me at an industry dinner and literally said to me with a straight face -- "very few people in the world have the product vision I have, very few people can see 10 years into the future"

The person had never run a business, never been a product manager, never built a product, could not code. I almost choked on my coffee but tried to be cordial.

Three aspects of performance:

1. Cold start perf
2. Post-cold start perf
- The cost of bridging between JS and WebAssembly
- The speed of the Python interpreter running in WebAssembly

Today, Python cold starts are slower than cold starts for a JavaScript Worker of equivalent size. A basic "Hello World" Worker written in JavaScript has a near zero cold start time, while a Python Worker has a cold start under 1 second.

That's because we still need to load Pyodide into your Worker on-demand when a request comes in. The blog post describes what we're working on to reduce this — making Pyodide already available upfront.

Once a Python Worker has gone through a cold start though, the differences are more on the margins — maybe a handful milliseconds, depending on what happens during the request.

- There is a slight cost (think — microseconds not milliseconds) to crossing the "bridge" between JavaScript and WebAssembly — for example, by performing I/O or async operations. This difference tends to be minimal — generally something measured in microseconds not milliseconds. People with performance sensitive Workers already write them in Rust https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-rs, which also relies on bridging between JavaScript and WebAssembly.

- The Python interpreter that Pyodide provides, that runs in WebAssembly, isn't as fast as the years and years of optimization that have gone into making JavaScript fast in V8. But it's still relatively early days for Pyodide, compared to the JS engine in V8 — there are parts of its code where we think there are big perf gains to be had. We're looking forward to upstreaming performance improvements, and there are WebAssembly proposals that help here too.
I'm all for funding FOSS, but how would the money have made any difference here? It just would have made Jian a bit richer, right?

If there is a standard library for GNU Make, one would expect it to be part of the GNU project.

That the GNU project enforces a certain naming convention on projects doesn't oblige you in any way to avoid that naming convention, but adopting that convention when you are not part of the GNU project creates confusion.

You might diffuse/disclaim the confusion up front. I notice your github repo has three archive files, no license, and no readme.
Naw, I and many people probably cross shopped Toyota's Prius Prime and Rav4 Prime with the Tesla Model Y. As of last fall and early this year, both models were barely to be found in Northern Virginia, and if you could find one within hours of where I live they were under huge dealership-fuckery with options and markups.

When I finally was able to test drive a standard 2023 Prius, I decided its cargo space was way too small for what I was looking for. When test driving a Rav4 (not Prime) I decided its visibility (for me, maybe this is highly personal) was absolutely terrible compared to the Model Y. Model Y prices were VERY competitive compared to Rav4 Primes anyway, so that's what I went with. I've been very happy with it.
Thanks for your reply and examples, very informative. I agree it's an awful metric but seemed it might hold water when I first typed it. Full disclosure, I have never actually visited 4chan despite ample opportunity.
This seems to be the case for some online communities, but in my offline circles (Asians working in tech in the PNW) no one seems to care. Driving on the street it seems every other car is a Tesla, and by and large everyone is pretty happy with them. I wouldn't say we're particularly pro-Tesla either, it's just that they were the best cars for the money at the time.

As more car manufacturers start to deliver good EVs, I think you'll start to see more variety in the EVs on the road. For example my next car after the cybertruck could be a Rivian or an electric van, if someone finally decides to make one.
Interesting, thanks for giving it a spin. Should be pretty straightforward if you have the data in email already!

The last sentence is significant:

"If a supply chain attack succeeds against a closed business like Apple or Google, even discovering it is there at all is wildly difficult for third-parties, and fixing it is effectively impossible."
Yes. I am a Y owner and in for a 2nd EV. But waiting until Rivian R2.
We share the same goals (except for electric cars needing to take over - they do, but the real issue is that public mass transit needs to take over!), but the methods / the lengths Elon Musk is willing to go to in pursuit of those goals are disturbing to many people.

A very Hacker News comment.

Not all execution is technical. 99% of the time, you aren’t building something that technically impressive, so I’d say that most execution isn’t. You’re probably building some CRUD database app and are throwing your VC funded development team at solving your own flavour of the same old scaling issues that they all solved at their last startups.

To categorise 99%+ of serious^ nontechnical cofounders as just* contributing an idea and not meaningfully and positively contributing to some aspects of the actual execution very much paints you as having one of the typical shortcomings of a developer: you think that nothing else matters.
