> Developers already had several mechanisms for introducing concurrency, and yet struggled to write correct code.

> STM could handle all of the decisions transparently like figuring out how coarse- or fine-grained synchronization to use, the contention policies around that synchronization, deadlock detection and prevention, and guarantee that you didn’t forget to lock when accessing a shared data structure. All behind a tantalizingly simple keyword, atomic.

> STM also came with simple, more declarative, coordination mechanisms, like orElse. So, although the focus was on eliminating the need to manually manage locking, it also helped evolve synchronization between threads.

Fascinating stuff.

> Unfortunately, after a few years of prototyping deep runtime, OS, and even hardware support, we abandoned the efforts.

Oh well.

> It wasn’t even clear that STM would be the correct tool for the job once we got to that point.

This is just sour grapes. You already identified the problem and the solution. There's no walking that back.

> My brief summary is that it’s more important to encourage good concurrency architecture than it is to make poor ones “just work”

Twilio also charges per segment, they are probably not transparent. So a segment means 160 characters (It’s a bit more complicated than that).

So if you want to send an 320 characters long SMS. You are sending two segments.

module_function is different in that it makes the method both a class method (i.e. an instance method on the singleton class) and a private instance method (so you can call the method with implicit self). Once upon a time a used this a lot because it felt conceptually similar to a C++ static member function, but I rarely use it any more.

How is this different from React? Every page in the app is made up of components from numerous other files.

Do you think we have a bunch of HTML files spread out everywhere, and that we aren’t generating all of those endpoints automatically? We don’t even write 95% of the endpoints with HTMX. They’re generated from the ORM class.

It was amusing when I heard about RSC, since we’d basically been doing that for years at that point, except in whatever language the backend team is already well versed in.
Activation Energy: Where Can I Find Fellow Weirdos?
The other day I was at a dinner with someone who I shall not dox but I’ll say they are obviously “out there” by the way that they dress at work (think pink mowhawk & nose-ring for the sake of example). One reason for them that they are able to dress like this is that they’re very talented and skilled at what they do (they wouldn’t be able to get away with it in a corporate culture if they weren’t). The second reason that they are able to dress like this is because they choose to. This was the interesting bit of the conversation we got into at dinner. Somehow the subject of eccentricity and weirdness came up at dinner and my friend/colleague mentioned the idea of “activation energy” for weirdness in different cultures.

As I write this I realize this should probably be a personal blog post, not a pseudonomus post on HN. Activate that weirdness. Anyway, not there yet.

So, now that I’m firmly 15 years into adulthood I finally feel perhaps brave enough to permanently break through the activation energy threshold I’ve either not been able to break past in my past or that I’ve shattered without thinking too much about or without realizing enough about how the world works because the rapidity with which the world shoved me back into my place was quite shocking.

At any rate, here I am, saying “let’s get weird” and not knowing how. Maybe I’m too late. I’m a 38 y/o male WASP. But my big question is: Where are all my weirdos at? I feel on the cusp of a major major breakthrough in my life and I think being around the right kind of people is going to be absolutely key to that. But I’ve no idea where to begin. I’ll hit submit on this for now because I do not have time to edit this and the train is pulling into Paddington, and I worry if I don’t put these thoughts into the world now I never will!

If you're interested in tacit (implicit) knowledge: Polyani is too narrow (but read "for culture"), Nonaka/Takeuchi is, too (but good if you're more interested in knowledge management per se).

My recommendation: Collins' "Tacit and Explicit Knowledge" is a great and thought-provoking exercise in theory-building. The Collins book recommended in the article is more about expertise and much less theory-laden.

It includes a very interesting discussion of eight different meanings of "cannot", from logical impossibility as the strongest form down to contingency as the weakest form.

(I have half a mind to write an epistolary short story from the point of view of one of Winston Smith's coworkers at the Ministry of Truth, dismayed about Smith's paranoiac reactions to normal office routine —colleagues transferring, etc.—, his labile personality[0] in general, and his conspiratorial mindset[1] in particular. All the objective events of Parts 1 and 2 can easily be explained much more rationally than in Smith's interpretations, but Part 3, being so explicit, has thus far resisted such treatment)

biggest number factored by a quantum computer isn't the right question. the right question is biggest number factored using a polynomial time algorithm. the answer to that as far as I know of still 15 (although I would be interested in papers that show more progress)
Yeah, I'm a Canadian and I didn't know this. Seems like it shouldn't be the tenants problem to know if the landlord is a resident or not.

That's right. I remember a local "electrification festival" where some vendors and city officials teamed up to explain the various options. One of the most common questions was "will this lower by bill"? And the most memorable answer by a vendor was "probably now, but you won't have to be wearing that coat in your living room". Which hit home because at the time we had a drafty house with poor heat distribution.

Would you recognize a “PoC” viewpoint if you read it? I mean the term itself is a fake label that is basically only used by white people and elite non-whites who must navigate white spaces and institutions. My whole family is non-white immigrants, and I never even heard the term “PoC” until I went to graduate school and encountered far left white people. I think you probably have to be in the leftmost 10-15% of the political spectrum to use “PoC” unironically.

The funny thing is that, insofar as you’re talking about what the US is doing “abroad,” I’m very plugged into that political sentiment, since my home country was on the receiving end of some stupid American foreign policy choices, and my dad works in international development. I know lots of Nigerians, Palestinians, etc., but nobody would call themselves “PoC.” It’s an utterly non-sensical and reductive label.

The NYT certainly platforms self-identified “PoC,” but as far as I can tell, their viewpoints are limited to ones that flatter white liberal NYT readers. Would the NYT ever platform all the Bangladeshis I know that begrudgingly credit Trump for pulling out of Afghanistan or opposing the war in Ukraine? Would they publish my parents, who think affirmative action is a threat to Asians and want the state department to stop flying pride flags in Muslim countries? And would you even recognize that as a genuine “PoC” view if you read it?

We don’t write 95% of the endpoints. They’re auto generated.

And this may be a shocking idea to you, but when we do need to build a custom endpoint, we still build it as a component (just like you would in React).

The timer interrupt could also do the loading:

- maintain a, say, ring buffer :) for I/O commands (operation, file handle, offset, buffer address, callback address)

- add requests to the buffer from the game loop

- timer wakes up periodically, splits requests into palatable chunks, completes a portion of the requested work, when it reaches the end it either sets a flag on the request to signal its completion and/or jumps to its callback address

- game loop can periodically check and empty the request buffer or set the requests to self-destruct on completion
The MBA theory is a limited take. The broader take is that these companies have become bloated with mediocre talent in the era of highly leveraged investment in the games industry, when "money was cheap".

It made good business sense (MBA or otherwise) to churn out safe mediocre games that have modest returns, like 250mil game would return 400mil. Although arguably the same game could have been made for 50mil in a smaller team with more exceptional talent, like in the 2000s where ROI on games was much higher on average. But the low ROI method was low-risk and repeatable. That is why around 2010, after the financial crisis when the world was showered in low interest rates, the games industry largely stopped innovating.

The "brute force" method for making games with very large teams where managing them has become almost impossible (most people in the AAA companies know what I'm talking about) is no longer sustainable now that money is no longer cheap. What is worse, executives in game companies have leaned into this model over the years, laying off expensive, very experienced talented staff and replacing each with 3-5 graduates. The 3-5 graduates can pump out more content for a mediocre game, the 1 experienced developer with decades of institutional knowledge could make a game that would perform exceptionally well, but not as reliably (this industry used to be called "hit-driven"). Layoffs did target the most expensive staff in many companies, by the way. This will come to light eventually.

So what can a game company that's all bought into this model do now? Many managers weren't even around in the 00s when the previous model worked. They don't know what to do. So they're panicking in various ways. Doing more layoffs, rushing games, upping the game prices, cutting support for old titles even if supporting them didn't cost that much.

But the industry has been over this once or twice. Notably in the 80s there was a shovelware games crash, then a lot of new small companies like Activision sprung up with small veteran teams and made great games in the 90s. This became the norm in the 00s, which saw the inception of many of the game titles we play today. The 10s paralleled the 80s, and we are heading towards a sort of crash or a soft crash now where the industry makes a lot of rushed shovelware. And those in games already know that many of their veteran colleagues are starting their own studios and working on very ambitious new projects that break the mould. None of this is new. Some of it is just new for people who haven't been around long enough.

But all in all, the MBA stuff is not seeing the forest for the trees. In the bigger picture, it's just a cycle. You can see it in all sorts of graphs, like ones that show average game quality over the last decades, and how the indie game sector is suddenly growing. Exactly like during and after the 80s crash.

Well, why did anyone - before patents - invent anything? :) Fame, recognition, reputation, furthering the king's glory, and of course mad pussy (or whatever the correct terminus technicus is nowadays).

And as I (hopefully) implied before, it's good that we worked out a social contract that incentivizes these things (that we think are the cornerstones of the progress we want/need), but it seems there's quite a lot more work to be done on this, because it was very crude before, and now it's just ridiculously blunt.

And it's a hard problem, I don't want to say that most people today only really get the downsides (higher medicine prices), because the whole drug discovery and push to market pipeline is horribly inefficient, eats money like there's no tomorrow, and it's not just patents. The FDA can grant ~3 years of exclusivity with the marketing authorization, right?

But. We see that patents are already not good enough for medicine. (Or that the busy little lobby beavers built a huge fucking dam around the patent moat. Just to be sure.)

I had no idea about this. It's so backwards!

Does that mean if I'm a tenant I need to keep track of my landlord's residential status?

Say I was aware of this regulation. I signed a contract with a landlord who is in fact a UK resident. If my landlord changes his residency without telling me, am I liable for his taxes?

Furthermore, how can I actually verify my landlord's residential status in the first place? Is that publicly available information?
I'm not educated enough in journalism to distinguish high quality from low quality, but as a listener/reader, some of NPR feels like good, original journalism (my ears perk up whenever I hear Eleanor Beardsley, for example); other content feels like it is just parroting the NY Times (which itself is a weird mixture of thought-provoking articles and clickbait headlines).

Back in the day, with Java JSP, there was a tag library called DisplayTag, which handled tables. It did a similar thing for in place paging, albeit a bit more brute force.

All JSP pages are buffered as they’re rendered. When the tag was rendered in “Ajax” mode, at the start of the tag it simply flushed the buffer, thus eliminating anything generated before, and at the end it simply aborted the remainder of the page. This effectively just returned the entire table element in isolation from the rest of the page.

It was a clever mechanic at the time.

I understand the motivation, but IMHO a PDF should be a static document, hence, something you can trust without worrying.

Since they can contain code, they can carry malicious code. PDFs have, in fact, been used for exploits. Meaning that you shouldn't really trust them. Which is a shame.
