It's really amazing to me that microsoft, with a headcount of over 200000 people has such small teams (and amazing individuals like Fowler) for their most central technologies. Even Entity Framework has, I think, just a handful of people working on it. Meanwhile, there are thousands upon thousands of people with title "product manager". I suppose the headcounts get vast again for the Azure teams?

On the other hand maybe the success Microsoft has had lately is expressly BECAUSE there are not too many cooks in the kitchen?

Tell me you can't tell the difference between an influencer and a reviewer without telling me you can't tell the difference between an influencer and a reviewer. The bar is really low with respect to quality (not production, but content) these days.
Yeah I agree, everytime a new model releases I download the highest quantization or fp16, that fits into my VRAM, test it out with a few prompts, and then realize that downloadable models are still not as good as the closed ones (except speed wise).

I don't know why I still do it, but everytime I read so many comments how good model X is, and how it outperforms anything else, and then I want to see it for myself.
I mean, by that, people don't generally mean, literally, "never write your own crypto". They just mean "on no account _use_ self-written crypto for anything".
It requires phone number for registration.
Site explain this as it is unique and hard to obtain en masse.

But it is not so. Phone numbers are controlled effectively by governments if needed, they are re-used, and they cheap-dirt in some countries (like, I could get SIM card in Serbia or Laos for about 1 Euro on the street).

About re-use: When I get new number in Serbia Is tarted to get a lot of SMSes and later WhatsApp messages about my debts, from very aggressive people. It was not scam, but this number only 3 months before that was used by some local guy who got into big troubles with loan sharks. They were Ok when I explained that I'm expat with SIM card bought in the newspaper stand, but I needed to explain it something like 50 times!

Sorry, but phone number is BAD ID and SMS is TERRIBLE 2FA / confirmation media.

> This is my biggest misgiving with C# async. What fraction of projects can actually "just" refactor everything, all at once?

You don't have to.

Simple heuristic: greenfield? async/await all the ways down.

Brownfield? Block.

Easy.
Developers should assume UTF-8 for text files going forward.

UTF-8 should have no BOM. It is the default. And there are no undefined Byte sequences that need an Order. Requiring a UTF-8 BOM just destroys the happy planned property that ASCII-is-UTF8. Why spoil that good work?

Others variants of Unicode have BOMs, e.g. UTF-16BE.
We know CJK languages need UTF-16 for compression.
The BOM is only a couple more bytes.
No problem, so far so good.

But there are old files, that are in 'platform encoding'.
Fine, let there be an OS 'locale', that has a default encoding.
That default can be overridden with another OS 'encoding' variable. And that can be overridden by an application arg. And there may be a final default for a specific application, that is only ever used with one language encoding. Then individual files can override all of the above ...

Text file (serialization) formats should define handling of optional BOM followed by an ASCII header that defines the encoding of the body that follows. One can also imagine .3 filetypes that have a unique or default encoding, with values maintained by, say, IANA (like MIME types). XML got this right. JSON and CSV are woefully neglectful, almost to the point of criminal liability.

But in the absence of all of the above, the default-default-default-default-default is UTF-8.

We are talking about the future, not the past. Design for UTF-8 default, and BOMs for other Unicodes. Microsoft should have defined BOMs for Windows-Blah encodings, not for UTF-8!

When the whole world looks to the future, Microsoft will follow. Eventually. Reluctantly.
> Pasteurization is unnatural

So what?

> changes the quality and nutrition of the milk

Does it? In what way, and with what evidence? People say things like this without ever getting specific.

> Baby cows don't drink pasteurized milk, and neither do human babies

No, but (a) there's a much shorter supply chain there in nature, which is the big problem, (b) cows consume all sorts of things that are inedible by humans, and (c) it's not actually "natural" for humans to drink cow's milk at all, that's a relatively recent genetic adaptation (lactose tolerance) that not everybody has.

It's normal for racists to create excuses for why they are not racist, and more generally, fascists to create excuses for wby they are not fascist. You have to learn to see through it.

Like, in the USA, they always complain about illegal immigration but say legal immigration is perfectly okay. If that were actually the case, they'd want an easy streamlined legal process. But they don't, because the point of the legal process being difficult is to keep certain types of people out. They're actually not okay with the kinds of certain kinds of people which mostly correlate to the ones who can't get through the legal process, and use "they're just too lazy to follow the process and if they followed the process I'd be fine with them" as a memetic shield against criticism.
There is also a cost of learning all the complexities of AWS. This cost can easily be higher than managing a Linux VM which runs the DB and backend server.
The first point is true, but

This is not true. I don't think there's a consensus on what 'remainers' wanted to do with non-EU immigration.

It is a gradient rather than black/white

Higher the severity of the drug -> the more controlled and frowned upon it should be.

And more importantly it should be a widespread common knowledge in society that there are no harmless drugs. There are always tradeoffs (even with coffee).

And all addictive or destructive drugs should be banned except some narrow exceptions for specific reasons (like psychodelics reasearch in psychaitry etc.).

How exactly it is implemented - depends on the specific context. No universal solutions.

For example in the middle east gashish and weed were historically much more common than alcohol, so it doesn't make sense (and will not work anyway) to impose severe punishment for it there.

While it would definitely benefit western/northern countries to prevent spreading of it and instead allowing alcohol for adults etc.
What can it do that other ones can't? Integration with Apple's walled garden is the most common complaint.
In most cases, no, at least according to the lawyer I have.

He did put in a phrase that nullifies the license when a new ruling comes out or a new law is passed. Essentially, you may have accepted the license, but since I included the condition that the disclaimer is legal, I can withdraw the license for that reason.

Having conditions for withdrawing the license is well-established. Without it, the GPL would not work because otherwise, it could not become void for an entity that doesn't share changes.

IOW, you may have accepted the license, but that doesn't remove my power to take it away.
Ok, maybe I'm misunderstanding the line "There's no explanation or other context. Presumably that all got squashed out when it was exported from whatever they use internally." - I was thinking about git squash, but it could have also been some other step in the process of transferring the code from Google's internal systems to GitHub.
> you will now have to keep presence on all app stores out there, since if you don’t publish on one then a copycat will

Nobody has to do anything. If you don't want the trouble of publishing on an alt-store to serve your customers, what's the problem of letting others do so?

This is such a lazyness argument, to be honest...
Now you just can't get a plumber at all. I'm not sure they really were "taking British jobs" after all.
There's no reason for this change. Experience has shown that when governments dictate technology changes, in the end, none of us are better off. There are alternatives to the IPad. Buy one of them. IOS/IPadOS are going to become less stable and less secure with forced access. Too much government everywhere.
Why, yes, that would be a great thing.
So, instead of using

> <> means system headers and "" means project headers (my naive understanding of the difference)

they just convert everything to a project header? That seems bonkers to me. It is intentionally removing useful information.
> Just .GetAwaiter().GetResult() it.

That won’t work with various synchronization contexts, where doing this would cause a deadlock. There’s not much fun in trying to debug such issues.

And now that various libraries only provide async api, or worse an non-async version wrapping the async one with . GetAwaiter().GetResult(), you’ll be in for a treat updating your dependencies.

Async all the way is the answer, although various frameworks still don’t offer async hooks. Recently I ran into this for example trying to write an async validator in blazor, but that’s not possible and you have to work around it [1].

C# 5 introduced async/await almost 12 years ago. And we’re still not “async all the way”.

> Java doesn't let you directly ask for some reference type to go on the stack but does escape analysis to try really hard to put your Object memory on the stack for you anyway

Is that a new hotspot feature? I thought it can only do scalar replacement (avoiding object allocation and keeping the object fields in registers).
Can't hear this nonsense anymore...

The matter expert of AWS will click a few vms and a managed database in a few minutes enabled snapshots and is done (and not really an expert)

The matter experts in a self hosting company will setup something. They might know how to do it right but probably not.

And just because I can do it myself very good, a lot of people can't.

The DB experts in my experience were to 80% people barely even getting databases right and the last 20% were the real experts keeping the shit running

And even in big companies I have seen shitty infra teams. Old software versions of the management tool, missing features, exorbitant cross charging, not enough hardware etc.

Is self hosting cheaper? Yes.

Should you do it?

Yes if you can afford good people and take it serious.

Don't blame cloud. You are not on cloud if you would be smart enough and capable enough of doing so anyway.
I'm not talking about published regulations, I'm talking about counterintelligence doing their jobs. Russians/Soviets were always almost dumbfounded at the ease at which they could penetrate very sensitive sources. Apart from the UK and to a lesser degree the US it was a total free-for-all even before the USSR broke up.

Fabricated personalities can and do get exposed.

There's no point explaining the Russian corruption to me, I lived there for a long time. In this case, however the corruption machine works against Russian agents.

Sure, you can use it like that, but it's not considered good practice. I think the context missing here is that most modern C# applications are going to be async all of the way down. The entry point can be async. Background service abstractions are async. Your API endpoints in ASP.NET Core are typically async as you're going to be calling some async I/O anyways (database queries, HTTP clients). There's no benefit to writing something in the old callback model when the rest of your code is async/await anyways.
The cost here is pretty trivial from my understanding. It’s essentially just a vision system that can send a brake command. Aka a camera behind the mirror and a microprocessor.

Something akin to this is available[1] in DuckDB, itself started as a "shell" over SQLite. Using Python, you can compose your SQL plans as you like.

I recall a previous discussion about the SQLite bytecode and potential alternatives, where the main idea was that, if SQLite had gone the other way, you could have a much more general engine, where you could achieve something like DuckDB itself just as a set of extensions.

Reading the draft, it doesn't seem that extensibility of SQLite was a main factor in deciding. Maybe this trade-off also covers extensions somehow, which would be nice to see in the final document.

>MS libraries are great but all the rest seem to be enterprise-milking, poor wrappers or sdk for some cloud service.

The biggest example are PDF producing/converting libraries, which I have no doubt make millions in licensing.
I think protobuf might just be a performance art piece, exploring the question of how much complexity it's possible to insert into a simple concept.
I love how the example SQL query uses abbreviated columns that sound like runes:

-- count(*)
a.mandt, b.rldnr, a.bukrs, a.gjahr, a.belnr, b.docln, a.buzei
-- *
from BSEG as a
innerjoin ACDOCA as b
on b.rclnt = a.mandt
and b.rbukrs = a.bukrs
and b.gjahr = a.gjahr
and b.belnr = a.belnr
where a.mandt = '715'
and b.rldnr = '0L'
and b.docln = '000001'
and a.buzei = '001'
and a.gjahr = '2018'
--and a.gjahr = '2017'
--and a.gjahr = '2019'
--order by a.mandt, b.rldnr, a.bukrs, a.gjahr, a.belnr, b.docln, a.buzei
limit 200;

Just realised this is probably from German too, "jahr" being year.
But it can mean "unmoved"!

In a metaphorical physical sense where an object is immobilized by two opposing forces.

But it's direct. It's "both valences" ("valence is loosely like " value"), like in chemistry. "Ambi", which implies that there are only two possibilities, instead of "bi" which merely means 2 actual among many possible.

You are clearly thinking about smaller projects. Larger projects can't survive a "stop the world" / "go async" migration. So, what do people do, they use GetAwaiter().GetResult knowing it is bad.

I was responsible for one of the largest .NET to .NET core migrations in history (3M LOC). Not a good time to also make everything async "while you are at it".

Javascript has a Much larger user community. You get much different behavior and discussion when the community's enormous, it's one of the most used computer languages anywhere, and it's available on almost every device with no additional software. Partial example, StackOverflow question counts (measure of community volume and topic need). 2,529,945 questions on JS. [1] Perl? 68,116. [2] (as of 4/30 when linked)

Possible effects: People that must use Javascript, but don't want to (only choice, only framework). People that use Javascript because it's hyped or hot, not because of personal interest. Larger volume of talk, so more opportunities for griping. Much larger perception of griping (blogs, HN links, news. You almost have to work to find the Perl griping locations). The talk tends to more work issues (stuck on project, annoyed at issue), and not discussing a language you write with because you enjoy the features.
