A candle doesn't lose its flame by lighting another candle.

Here are the best tips you ever received from someone who grew up being taught Giving to Others and Charity / Community matters!

1) Nvidia is the only stock in history that did +800% in 2 years. As a result most people are falling into the Human PSYCHOLOGY Trap and relying on Stock Prices ONLY (there is no hype, so don't be surprised if it doesnt stop, there is only a huge increase in revenues and net profits).

2) Nvidia PE is lower (price to earnings ratio) you can now pay less than ever before for a $1 of earnings in the company, which means even if the price is high, the stock is actually cheaper than ever before.
And this NEVER happened to any stock in history!!

3) Nvidia is projected to blow up due to (look at my profile highlights, Ive made over 10 posts about it)

4) Ive been recommending it since 2015 and nobody cared (+2,590%), all my ex coworkers thought I was lucky, and they didnt buy any until today!! (they are still in the office)

5) And recommended it again last December nobody cared (+150%),

6) And again last month +40%, nobody reacted,

7) And again last week with the stock split and explained how this corporation action will profit the stock by reverting human psychology and making the stock price growth rally toward its earnings per share growth, and nobody cared and it took +20% in 5 days.

You're not missing out, that is just one of many other opportunities!

not a hacker, not a hack.

a performance and a prompt.
Nice to know that mere friendship (in heavy doses) can do the same job. I thought this should be possible, but was worried it might not be.
In not too many years, the average user will be prompting to get their needs met, rather than searching a flawed search system, wading through pages of sponsored and SEO-gamified links, opening up multiple tabs to try to dig out the details from sites hustling whatever they hustle, and then trying to read to get their needs met. Google sees the writing on the wall, which is going towards a prompt-based direct ask system mediated by an LLM. It definitely is far from perfect now, but the writing is on the wall. Search and SEO are both going to be relics of a bygone past in not too many years.
That’s the problem. In the days of jQuery/Angular2 (and even now personally), React was a blessing. Everyone hoped the same here. We should just join technology a little later on the hype cycle and have less stress.

The mad speculation is due to him being CEO of a highly talked about company but also the creator of dubious exploitative ventures[1][2] and rubbing a lot of people the wrong way, many of which talk in vague terms instead of being specific from the start.

> That's only because it's not viewed in the right color space?

It's like that because it's the log encoding is not in a display-ready color space. Many modern cameras can apply LUT directly in the viewfinder though, so it's less of a nuisance today. In reality, it isn't an issue, just beginners get surprised when they see it the first time.

> For some reason video folks seem really intent on creating their own terms for everything

Which to me makes sense. If I'm looking for terms that can apply to many areas, it becomes harder to find the right thing. I much prefer separated terms than the approach than one term being used in many areas, so it gets easier to search and talk about.

> actually acknowledges that "log encoding" is just an alternative to gamma encoding

Not sure they are 100% alternatives though, but I'm much more familiar with log encoding than gamma encoding. As far as I understand, log encoding uses a logarithmic curve to capture a wide dynamic range, preserving detail in shadows and highlights for extensive post-production grading. In contrast, gamma encoding applies a non-linear curve that approximates human vision, producing footage with natural contrast and color suitable for immediate viewing and minimal post-processing.

But, I could also misunderstand the differences, and would be happy to be told otherwise :)
In layman's terms, we call that "quitting"!

I recently heard a comedian say "The Internet has flattened our culture" and that idea has really stuck with me.

So similar to Lisbon "losing its essence" I was in Berlin recently and noticed many of the city's distinctive hallmarks had been internationalised/Millenialised away. The weird German toilets, the day drinking punks outside the rail stations, the ubiquitous graffiti and smell of beer (or urine). And the rental costs have shot up.

Not to sound like I knew the city before it was cool, but the general flattening of cities into predictable, quality consumer products seems to be happening everywhere, not just Lisbon.

> Tracking can give kids more freedom, because you can let them roam where they could get lost.

I'm not sure this is a good thing. This is similar to the observation that cyclists who wear helmets engage in more risky behavior. But helmets are meant to be a fail-safe, not a primary line of defense. Maybe the same should go for tracking...

It's simple and there is less overhead. Since PHP runs directly within the Apache process, there is no need for inter-process communication (no TCP, no sockets), reducing the overhead. This can lead to lower latency for individual requests.

Not saying that this technique doesn't have any use, but the example scenario is pretty weak. Why not just send s3 link to the analysts

s3://robotaxi-inc/daily-ride-data/*.parquet

Or just the query:

SELECT pickup_at, dropoff_at, trip_distance, total_amount
FROM 's3://robotaxi-inc/daily-ride-data/*.parquet'
WHERE fare_amount > 100 AND trip_distance < 10

does the intermediate database and view really provide much value?

Thinking more, I feel this boils down to ownership. Does it make sense for you to own this abstraction layer? Or does it make sense to shift the ownership towards the receiving end, and just provide the raw data.

To me maintaining this sort of views to data sounds more like responsibility of data analysts that random devs. They are the experts in wrangling data afterall. But of course there is no single right or wrong answer either

The problem is you delegate a lot of the query building to the client, hoping that it will not suddenly change your performance profile by being creative and that you will have not missed an obviously expensive use case coming.

That's a huge bet, especially given that GraphQL is expensive in the first place, and given that the more you grow the API in size, the less you can actually map the cartesian product of all request params.
I've used pypy on large codebases for years. Generally it's fine so long as you don't need any of the packages that are thin wrappers around C/fortran. It seems a lot of maintainers these days are pretty good about considering it as a target

On the other hand the memory footprint can be painful - not just the deferred garbage collection of things like weakrefs and closed files, but even regular objects. A while back I had hope that the faster cpython project would somewhat remove our need to use it, just so we could have a lower memory footprint, but that seems to have stalled
This is such a tired and wrong argument. People are allowed to disagree with, dislike, and distrust others without being jealous of them. Think of anyone you don’t like. Pick a specific politician you abhor. Now imagine someone saying you dislike them because you’re jealous. Does that make sense to you? If it does, you have a very warped view of the world.
There's no other solution to this problem other than making airbnb-type property investments unprofitable.

I.e. heavily incentivize renovating/building and selling properties to individuals/families. Mildly incentivize renovating/building and putting up for long-term rental. Heavily disincentivize accumulating unused properties and short-term rentals.

And no, the market won't properly regulate itself. That should be pretty obvious at this point.

I used to do paragliding, it changed how I think about security protocols and equipment.

I will never drive a car without first fastening my seatbelt, I feel naked if not fastened(if you do it when paragliding, you die). I don't leave objects in unsecured state(if you do it on the hill, a wind gust messes up your day and even injures you). I trust mechanisms I understand(that's the only way you fly, you have to trust the tools and make sure the tools are in tip top condition.). I don't trust critical tools and systems without inspecting them(we did the regular maintenance of the reserve parachute ourselves and it was on us to work if needed).

This is one example of course but as you said, everything you consciously go through changes you profoundly. If are into drawing with pencil, that also changes you, I'm sure.

It's also why I'm worried quite a lot for people who experience everything through a screen in a bubble. I'm sure they are also profoundly changed by the experience and I'm afraid in a bad way. I suspect that's one of the main reasons people in many different cultures end up with similar constructs like "incel" - that is, the social experience through the screen is about the same everywhere and it primes the people to think about other people in a specific way.

> If you use the std lib you can write a simple web app in Go as well in few lines of code?

PHP is made for web development though, while Go is made for different use cases. Comparing the standard libraries makes this very clear.

Things PHP comes with that Go doesn't come with (just as some examples about standard library differences): PDO (DB interface), session management, built-in mail sending, localization and internationalization. That's just from the top of my head.

Go has it's places though, and it works well for web development too. But even I who like Go in general more than PHP, can acknowledge that PHP (by default) is better setup for web development out of the box.

That said, I would much prefer Go than PHP too, but hard to argue against PHP for web development without resolving to emotions and feelings.

What does the API for accessing the shadow stack from user space look like? I didn't see anything for it in the kernel docs [1].

I agree about the need for switching the shadow stacks in the Go scheduler. But this would probably require an API that is a bit at odds with the security goals of the kernel feature.

I'm not sure I follow your thoughts on CGO and how this would work on older CPUs and kernels.

>but the general flattening of cities into predictable, quality consumer products seems to be happening everywhere, not just Lisbon.

That's not the main problem. IMHO the bige one is that cities are no longer people's homes and hubs of culture, but have turned into highly efficient wealth extracting machines (from the tourists and immigrants, as well as from the locals) where the owning class try to extract as much money as possible from the have-nots, like you point out the rents shooting up.

Once everything becomes about making as much money as possible at the expense of everyone else around me, where the locals don't work anymore to support local business in their community but work to help bulldoze piles of money into the hands of a few foreign multinational corporations with HQs in tax heavens, then things inevitably turn to shit: society becomes low-trust, people more divided, wealth inequality increases, crime increases, ghettoization, homelessness, political extremism, communities and family units breaking up, social services decaying, loneliness epidemic despite living in a large city, etc. And all these things can happen despite or maybe even because, an economy and GDP going up.

This isn't something new either but has been going on for 20+ years AFAIK. Not sure how to fix this though since it seems like the effects caused by an unregulated globalization which seeks to MIN/MAX everything financially, creating huge gaps between the winners and the losers of the new order, both at national levels, and at individual level.
You won't care, but the living will.

Funerals aren't meant for the deceased, they allow the living to mourn and move on.
It may be irrational fears, but living people often fear what's gonna happen to them after they die, and respect for people extends after they die for most people. Not for everyone, but this means that some will feel uncomfortable about sharing private stuff. And then there's also superstition.

No, GraphQL makes sense at facebook because at their scale, dealing with the consequence of allowing all possible queries was less work that having to create dedicated enpoints for all the possible client queries.

People completely missed the point of GraphQL, which is you TRADE flexibility for the client for added cost on the server.

Which in a app and team as huge as facebooks' made sense, especially since they have the so-called facebook apps that could do... anything.

Go limitation is it’s a high-level language with a very simple compiler where providing true zero-cost abstractions (full monomorphization rather than GC stenciling) and advanced optimizations is a bridge it wouldn’t cross because it means much greater engineering effort spent on the compiler and increasing LOCs by a factor of 5, especially if a compiler wants to preserve its throughput.

Though I find it unfortunate that the industry considers Go as a choice for performance-sensitive scenarios when C# exists which went the above route and does not sacrifice performance and ability to offer performance-specific APIs (like crossplat SIMD) by paying the price of higher effort/complexity compiler implementation. It also does in-runtime PGO (DynamicPGO) given long-running server workloads are usually using JIT where it's available, so you don't need to carefully craft a sample workload hoping it would match production behavior - JIT does it for you and it yields anything from 10% to 35% depending on how abstraction-heavy the codebase is.
