It can work if you think carefully about module boundaries so that the dsls do not leak out of their containing scope. Most of the time, dsls are not well bounded and even if they are, they are likely to confuse newcomers to the codebase. Of course, whether or not dsls are used, every program does have custom dsls in the form of functions that newcomers also aren't going to understand so it isn't as though programs written in a vanilla host language don't have many of the same comprehensibility problems as those written in a dsl.

That being said, not every piece of code needs to be accessible to everyone. Dsls allow you to create a hermetic world inside of a programming environment in which certain properties always hold, even if the environment does not guarantee these things for you. Programs written in the right dsl can be more productive to write and have much lower overall operational costs. But the price is that the rules of the dsl are not necessarily the same as the rules of the host language and this leads to confusion. For the truly ambitious programmer, it can be worth sacrificing accessibility to the median coder to build systems that the median coder can't even conceive of. Of course your reward is to be derided for not expressing the solution in a language they can already understand.

Wrt to Forth itself, Chuck Moore has pointed out that Forth is a multiplier: it makes good programmers better and bad programmers worse. I personally care more about the former property and frankly don't want to work with bad programmers anyway.

I've been out of web dev for a few years, but my understanding of the appeal of serverless is that it is theoretically pay only for what you use. But if you're hosting Tau to do serverless via Tau, well, it's not really serverless anymore. You are now definitely paying for the server running the serverless infra.

Why would anyone target Tau serverless, then? What am I missing?

I worked at an app company where they kept re-designing over and over and over, and it wan't even anything very clever or innovative: It was just "other apps started using these design fads, so we must now use them too". Over and over. We had critical bugs to fix, areas where battery usage and performance were very poor, lots of spaghetti code and things that needed cleanups, but no, where did we invest our effort? UI re-designs.

Mirrors did exists since a long time though.

You can substitute "photorealistic" with "looks like the square (or rectangle) picture in the mirror".

Turns out photographic pictures did capture that "image in the mirror" picture. Funnily enough, using... Mirrors.

The answer is simply no. The real world doesn't work like that: photons/mirrors/prisms/our eyes "capturing" photons. Physics vs dialectic if you want.

Based solely on my own calculations that I made for the board of my company; this is within the parameters I would expect, yeah.
I agree. The reasoning is there, and becoming more capable every year (across the various models). It's easy to look for limitations, but what was once glaring problems are now much more subtle.
Particularly in Germany, unions are quite literally unions of workers that band together, not menacing cartels. By law, companies must not interfere with workers organising themselves in a Betriebsrat, basically a company-internal union, which (as you mentioned) by mere forming becomes a stakeholder and needs to be involved in certain decisions.

This doesn’t automatically mean you have a mandatory tariff for everyone, just that there is an organisation in your workplace that you can turn to, which will have your interests in mind, without you having to be a member. They can protect you from overreaching managers, baseless accusations, or unwarranted layoffs. And of course, they usually negotiate on behalf of the entire staff, especially on HR topics.

While this isn’t always working perfectly, it’s still a big achievement in terms of equality and worker rights.

It’s unfortunate, I think, that the US has such an awful history in terms of unions. There are far more nuances than discussions on HN make it seem, and virtually nobody looses if employees have strong protections against their employers.
> You can snapshot a piece of software, together with its runtime environment, at the point when it's still possible to build it

I think you’re onto part of the problem here. The thing is that you have to snapshot a lot of nowadays software together with its runtime environment.

I mean, I can still run Windows software (for example) that is 10 years or older without that requirement.

Self-hosted platform as a service?!

Isn't the whole point of platforms as a service (from the customer perspective) that you don't need to do the hassle of self hosting.

There are pros and cons to using an external service and to self hosting. And just throwing all these words at me together makes me feel like there isn't a coherent mental model of what this is trying to be, or if there is it isn't clearly communicated.

If this is some sort of CDN software or attempt at running Lambda-like code Snippets on your own distributed cluster that's cool. But a description of that would be nice.

The GitHub read me jump straight into how this is just a single binary and how deploying it is easy, but not what the hell it is. CloudFlare can do like a million things, which features from cloudflare is this competing with? I just really want to know what the pros and cons of this are compared to other ways of rolling my own servers or renting out someone else's platform?
That's not quite true, though. While there are no singular undefined instructions, there are sequences of instructions that can result in undesired/undefined behavior. Read through the published errata for modern CPUs, there will be a large number of combinations of instructions/actions that should be avoided entirely or modified to avoid misbehavior.

Why not just evacuate everyone from the ISS on other craft?

1 chassis, 8 gpus.

We want to be able to break that chassis up into individual GPUs and allocate 1 GPU to 1 "machine". I previously PXE booted 20,000 individual playstation 5 diskless blades and I'm not sure how PXE would solve this.

The only alternative right now is to do what runpod (and AMD's aac) are doing and do docker containers. But that has the limitation of docker in docker, so people end up having to repackage everything. You also can't easily run different ROCm versions since that comes from the host, and if you have 8 people on a single chassis... it becomes a nightmare to manage it.

We're just patiently waiting for AMD to fix the problem.
Would it be better that they push non-specific political ideologies?
> simplistic [...] yet the local extractive elites did not disappear, they persisted

Another complication is elites could be leveraged against each other. In the Ottoman Empire, Egyptian farming villages would use strikes to discipline local elites. Village(s) unhappy with local elite decisions would go on strike - slowing down or abandoning work, and moving in with family in nearby villages. The production drop would bring down a pissed and powerful Ottoman official on the local elite - "you will fix this, now".
Twitter is a dumpsterfire. If you still choose to stay in it, you shouldn't complain about the smell.

I think the main problem is the organisations (such as various municipalities in EU) that use twitter as an official communication channel, which forces citizens to be there too.

In ignoring this subthread because you introduced the “pre-2k” filter which I never mentioned and turned this into a no-true-Scotsman debate.
Well this was actually the point of my question. I have been an independent consultant for a couple years now so I don't really have my finger on the pulse of current startup trends. My question is indeed if a lot of new startups are doing this in which case perhaps it's worth considering or if this is a very abnormal requirement in which it's perhaps a red flag.
The price for that kind of backwards compatibility is a literal army of engineers working for a global megacorporation. Free software could not manage that, so having a pragmatic way to keep software running in isolated containers seems like a great solution to me.
And unfortunately the few proper AAA games that have come to iOS recently have completely bombed. Assassin's Creed Mirage supposedly sold only 3000 copies on iOS in its first month and RE:Village and RE4 Remake didn't fair much better.

To be fair they are limited to iPhone 15 Pro and M1 iPad or above which narrows the market a lot for now, but it still seems like a hard sell to developers and users without something changing. Controls and storage space alone are huge issues for users, Each of those three games take up more than half of a base 15 Pro on their own. For the price of a controller and 512GB iPhone you might as well buy an iPhone 15 Pro AND a Switch or Steam Deck which will have vastly more games and expandable storage to boot.

I've come across two startups with 6 day work weeks. They were absolute garbage dumps, the both of them. They had an average employee tenure of 6 months, and neither of them could execute on anything more complex than a basic web API.

It's not worth considering. It's a clear sign that someone clueless is running the company.
Yes, overall wine consumption in the U.S. is down 4.4%
Yes, “bulk” wine (about 90% of all production last time I checked) is loosing ground to hard seltzer, etc., reducing demand for ordinary wine grapes.
But, high-end wines (10%) has gotten very crowded, discouraging new boutique wineries from starting and reducing demand for high-end wine grapes as well.

Growers are facing reduced demand across the board. The market for wine grapes will correct as some of those growers leave the market, however it takes a few years and some cash to repurpose a vineyard, so many growers will wait and see before they make any rash changes.
These days a Nasdaq ETF is likely the best bet (it's what I use in my IRA) since it has been conistently outperforming the S&P 500.

I'd be cautious with the more exotic leveraged ETF. Instead, for my non-investment accounts I've been mostly holding the Mag 7 since last year (after rotating out of pandemic stocks following the rebound). I shared my results over the last couple of years on by blog where I document my thinking for future reference/improvement (https://gmays.com/2-year-follow-up-on-buying-the-dip-on-pand...). My current IRR from that portfolio is 83.70% over the last couple years for context.
This would seem to be entirely about how different parties view blue checks.

There's no law that says a blue check next to a name comes with any kind of guarantee. Unless X has language somewhere about what "verified" actually connotes beyond the simplest interpretation of the word, I don't see what the action is here.
Current trend seems to be that we regulate the AI, not the people who control the AI. We should absolutely regulate the people behind the AI.

I'm curious why you think Javascript should be on the list, I see a lot of issues:

Javascript generally runs on a website in a browser:
The browser must be continually updated on the client side every few weeks at the very least.

Your software must work on all future browsers in 50 years time.

Security patches/privacy/laws/etc deprecate/change API calls regularly.

The website must continually update certificates, maintain payments to providers / keep valid credentials / not get hacked for 50 years.

Most javascript applications have a billion dependencies, and people rewrite using a new framework over updating if it's been a few years, never mind decades.

Keeping dependencies up to date for 50 years is a lot of work.

I don't know of any instances of anything javascript that has run continually for 20 years to date?

> I think the point is you can't go far with those fuel sources (e.g. you can't have a trucking industry that runs on whale oil).

Yeah, that's true but you can have electric trains and trams. Canals and sails are also totally useful for a coastal society.

> How deep? In a thousand years (let alone a million), will the mining tunnels have collapsed and/or filled with water? Even if the tunnels still exist and are serviceable, an "energy poor society" is probably not going to pump out the many millions of gallons of water needed to get at the coal.

In the US alone, they're all over the place. There's 250 billion short tons of coal that's estimated to be commercially recoverable in the US today. A good bit of that isn't particularly deep. There's still surface coal all over West Virginia. A lot of of it just gets left around because its too dirty to burn under current law, or is a little to disperse to mine profitably in current energy markets.

Pumping isn't that hard if labor is cheap, the Romans did it with two cylinder pumps, person powered water wheels, and screw pumps. Pumping water is actually a key challenge that leads to important technology, or it did for us.

A year ago I was listening to philosophytube do his interpretation of Julius Caesar's speech about The Conspiracy Of Catiline, which you can find somewhere in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8NVy00tfdI.

Who didn't praise the EU when they were the first government to hit back at these Big Tech psychopath surveillance machines? And yet, as the years go by, it seems like we've seen a power struggle in which tech's vision of its own power became inflated, and the state reminded it of its place.

My enthusiasm for the EU (which once looked like a a constellation of yellow stars to guide the world through the stormy oceans of illiberalism towards a freer tomorrow under president picard or kirk) has waned substantially. Are they a land that overcame the struggles that plagued my homeland (TEXAS), or were they simply an artificial disneyland who's paperthin democracies veiled near totalitarian control by a foreign empire?

I feel this viscerally now that I live in LatAm and can see so transparently the influence of the state dept and its NGOs brewing a counter elite. It even feels odd to think of me and the people here as "being from different countries". Aren't we all Natons, from NATO, loyal to our shared Progress flag and social democratic values, governed by the same managerial elites who go to the same schools, speak the same language, etc? A Gaul and a Jew are in some sense both Roman, during the second century.

I do believe someone was confused by a blue checkmark scammer. I also do believe that has nothing to do with what the "EU says" in this instance. But I'm probably wrong. I was 100% all-in for hilldawg in 2016, Biden for 2024, essentially I never predict things correctly. I've even thought of trying to monetize my bad political instincts by joining one of those crypto prediction markets and betting on the opposite of whatever feels certain to me.
I remember when "mystery meat navigation" was a phrase and viewed very unfavorably.

From what I heard, this was the reason Apple only shipped their mouse with a single button for so long. They didn't want developers to hide things away in right-click menus; everything should be somewhere else and discoverable by looking at the UI. Shipping with a single button mouse, even when they supported right-click, was a way to force developers not to get lazy with it, since they couldn't count on users having a right-click on their mouse (or knowing control+click was a thing).
Even so, it's not the only alternative is gigantic companies trying to get everyone using their product.

If every plumber in your area had a subscription to your software that was specifically tailored to your codes and the nuances of your area? Estimating costs based on actual local prices for things? Could you support the number of people it would take to keep such a thing running? Could you sell insights from the data to the local hardware store to help them figure out what kinds of changes (weather, construction, whatever) lead to what kinds of demand for products?

It doesn't have to be "you could walk to it" local, but if you really created the tool your area's local businesses couldn't live without, could you really not support yourself?
Blue checks never made claims about the information accounts post, only that the owner of the account has been verified to be who they say they are. Which is still a good thing in the face of misinformation because then you can more confidently say "person [x] said [thing] and I believe that to be a lie."

While they weren't perfect before, the checks are now entirely useless for that purpose.
