Why is taking out the part that actually checks the types at the developer's side a huge blessing?

Or if you are hoping to get the benefit of type checking in the browser itself (taking the same sweet time as tsc, but this time on every browser instead of once in the CI), then how long would you want to wait to be able to actually use the new typing functionality described in e.g. the latest TS annoucement? https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescr... .

Because it would take a while until that would then become the standard and then become available in every browser. And you still need to provide the JS versions, because not every browser is going to support TS.

In the meanwhile you could just keep using tsc just as before and get access to new functionality immediately.

(I imagine you could run tsc in the browser right now if you really wanted to.)

Yes, this is what we had in mind:

And so TB exposes a set of primitives designed around debit/credit (not only a record of debit/credits).

For example, you can express something like:

- Do a transfer between accounts, but only on condition that the resulting debits would not exceed credits (or vice versa, or some threshold amount compared to this net balance), and while taking other authorized (but not yet captured) inflight transfers (i.e. to other third party systems using two-phase commit protocol) into account also in that net balance calculation.

- Then, if this transfer succeeds, immediately also do another 7000 transfers, all linked atomically together. But if any of these would fail, then the whole chain, including the net debit cap transfer, should not be executed.

- But only do all the above, if both volume and velocity limits (expressed not in a currency but in a quantity) in an isolated risk ledger would also be satisfied.

- And finally, if all this does succeed, then do another set of transfers in a separate USD reporting ledger.

You can do the above, atomically, in a single round-trip to TigerBeetle. It would be a nightmare in SQL.

But the other advantage to having the transaction DBMS speak debit/credit accounting primitives is that your multiple products can then build around a transaction processing core with strict controls, while keeping the accounting policy in the product layer above—because while every business/product may have different accounting policy, the primitives are the same. This keeps the core of your transaction DBMS simple and in control, while allowing flexibility for product evolution.
Salesforce quietly does some truly tier-one stuff. They don’t showboat it which makes them seem more, not less, serious at least from my seat.

They use Bazel and shit, which is an acid test for being professionals, it’s a real shop.

My diabetes consultant is on more than the national median income and only works part time in a low cost of living area of the UK. They are far from hard done by. Throwing money at them will not change what is effectively a systemic error in how they approach the disease.

The NHS is underfunded, but this isn't a problem of funding. The lack of a scientific approach to managing diabetes is strictly down to ineptitude.
> My understanding is Europe caps the interchange / card fees that credit card companies can charge merchants.

Not sure, how strongly this applies. I frequently get denied(verbal denial that Amex doesn't work, use something else!) when I pull out my Amex in stores(random Tedi/Lidl/Aldi but not all), so now I usually resolve to ApplyPay(cashier don't see the card and can't ask to use some other card). If it is actually denied by the machine, I use a different one, no harm done.

One particular small cafe told me, Amex charges are too high and cost them more than Giro/Visa/MC. Some places are also very adament about using a "Debit" only Visa/MC/Giro!

Is that actually still a thing? I remember hearing of it being a thing in the US, but I would kind of assumed it would have died out as the US economy approached full employment and wages rose. Never actually seen it when I've visited the US, but then I was only in large cities with very high labour costs.
It's tricky. It wouldn't be employee owned if you could sell your shares to the public or keep them indefinitely after you leave. That's why you have to sell them back to the company/employees. Doing that over a period of time makes you value longer term company performance vs short term.

Systemd, Part Deux
A long time ago I started converted to using node js for backend work, seemed to offer many benefits over writing code in PHP without bringing many problems of Java. I found node to be somewhat clunky and a language where you had to bolt it together to get the language you wanted. Eventually started writing golang and it felt much easier to write, sometimes way more verbose but the type safety just made coding simpler.

Typescript seemed like a good option but was just another bolt on, I am not sure what value you gain by using Typescript over Golang, you have nice defined types which is great but it does not solve other issues with the language that are resolved in golang (also solved in deno).

One large benefit of using node over golang is the speed of prototyping something which I think having to use type script largely negates, so I can not really decide if this is a good step forwards or is making node loose some qualities that made it a good choice in other ways.
The change-over was actually driven by the technology at the time - namely the outdoor road-facing price advertising panels, as well as many of the pump displays.

Simply - they were only designed to show 2 numbers so when the price-per-gallon exceeded 99 pence many had to stick a static "1" in front, and many point-of-sale terminals and cash registers couldn't handle it.

Since there are ~4.5 litres in a British gallon displaying pence-per-litre brought the displayed prices back to 2 digits and allowed for a gradual transition to 3 and 4 digit displays.

And yes, at the time the switch from pence-per-gallon to pence-per-litre occurred some retailers did take advantage to 'add some profit margin' but it wasn't universal.

In genera, "self reporting" needs to be viewed as the untrustworthy statistics it is. I hear it a lot recently in the social siences.

It would be nice to have a legal framework for companies to increase employee ownership, but be able to do it incrementally with no requirement to go straight to 100%. Or ever.

For instance, even public companies might increase the percentage of employee ownership over time.

But capital needs could still be met, as the public or private non-employee stock class would still exist.

Hi I'm the author of the PR, AMA
I think describing Starmer's Labour as centre-left is a bit of a stretch. They want to crack down on immigration and suspended seven MPs who voted in favour of a pretty minor amendment to scrap the 2-child benefit cap (that overwhelmingly failed ... because the rest of Labour voted against it). They've also got Wes Streeting as Secretary of State for Health and he seems very keen privatisation of the NHS - in fact the party themselves love PFI.

They were once the party of workers and a strong voice for the UK left, but that time has long passed.

Past is irrelevant. He too the risk and got handsomely rewarded for incredible success as he should.

But that is his stock he kept from founding the company. Not today.

He should of course still be CEO of Nvidia and get the money(stock awards), because unlike others, Nvidia execution is excellent (see market cap) and has been for decades, but that is not really any risk for him personally.
How is it a wild statement? The whole point of a company is to make money. It's like asking why workers care about their salaries.

Some kind of capability system would be interesting, but to work within function level it would need some pretty sophisticated support from the type system.

On package level it might be easier? But then again you need to have quite fine-grained capabilities to describe what a package should be able to do. Of course, in Rust all unsafe code would need to be out (and it would be its own capability), but it still leaves exploiting the compiler bugs. For malicious changes that would of course be the vector to exploit and it might be very difficult to automatically detect them.

People work for their paycheck and not their company, and they have the nerve to talk about "loyalty" and stuff like that when they won't do any of this.

But I understand why companies prefer to pay you in full rather than stocks, (1) it's gonna be miniscule compared to their actual cash flow and (2) they would prefer to pay you whatever your contract says and keep whatever interest for themselves, even if that's not much.

So they are optimizing for their own interest in both ways. I'm not knowledgeable in this area but as a normie that would be my guess.
granted synthetic is closely related to synthesis, but in common parlance synthetic would mean something that is not natural or abiotic in some sense, in case of synthetic data, it should imply data that doesn't occur naturally from human and natural sources. i.e. synthetic data would be exactly the one that is assembled from algorithmic output. granted im not able to explain it as well as i understand it.
64 KiB is 524,288 bits. That's a lot, indeed! :-)
Yes, that sounds closer to what the proposal seem to amount to.

But it doesn't make much sense: just because I work at Google (which is worth a lot per employee) I don't deserve more re-distribution than someone manning the cashier at eg WalMart.

If you want to re-distribute, I would suggest to tax the owners and hand money to the people, regardless of where they work.

I don’t think Amazon created this on purpose. They did create a system where individual vendors are incentivised to scam consumers though.

The most common and irritating one I see is making a listing for a product at a low price, selling lots of said item and getting people lulled into reordering, then bump the price, change the per-order quantity, or even change the brand or product sold under that listing, 10xing your profit on residual reorders, while you relish the original deal on a new item number. Rinse and repeat.

> Terms of art do not require licenses.

Agreed. There is no trademark on aileron or carburetor or context-free grammar. A couple of years ago I made this same point myself. [0]

> A given term is either an ordinary dictionary word that everyone including the courts will readily recognize ("Vegan"), a trademark ("Microsoft® Office 365™"), or a fragment of language that everyone can feel free to use for their own purposes without asking permission. "Open Source" falls into the latter category.

This taxonomy doesn't hold up.

Again, it's a term of art with a clear meaning accepted by its community. We've seen numerous instances of cynical and deceptive misuse of the term, which the community rightly calls out because it's not fair play, it's deliberate deception.

> This kind of argument is literally why trademark law exists

It is not. Trademark law exists to protect brands, not to clarify terminology.

You seem to be contradicting your earlier point that terms of art do not require licenses.

> OSI did not elect to go down that path. Maybe they should have, but I respect their decision not to, and perhaps you should, too.

> Is there any chance you could add a mode with a regular database so I can get the enjoyment of learning how to break it? I can't appreciate how hard it is to crash TigerBeetle since I don't have a frame of reference.

This would be awesome to do.

We're running real TigerBeetle code in each of the "beetles" that you see. While we couldn't bring in real code from a regular database (most were not designed for Deterministic Simulation Testing), we could definitely make TigerBeetle emulate one.

For example, we could disable TB's corruption detection/recovery code paths that provide storage fault-tolerance. And then you could zap "a regular database" with a cosmic ray and see what happens with a regular consensus protocol like Raft that doesn't implement UW-Madison's “Protocol-Aware Recovery for Consensus-Based Storage”, how the fault propagates through the cluster.

Yeah for perfect data its a bit soso, but if you don't care about that its great. I'm using some Morton curves for finding neighbours for movement and targeting in a 2d space for a large amount of points (in a compute shader).

One can divide the space into buckets, but for example for targeting at say 10 units the bucket can be 5k long for 1 million entities in a smallish area.

Using Morton which is fast to compute I can usually get a great selection of good candidates within a max set left/right distance and/or under an x,y distance check of some bigger value (as in allow 2d distances to climb to 3x max of our desired distance before breaking).
