I quite like WotC all the through, although it definitely changes... "tone" over time?

It starts as one thing, but by the middle it's much more clear that it's a therapy exercise for the author that got wonderfully out of hand. There's a lot more talking through issues and emotions as you get deeper in. The author's next major work ("this used to be about dungeons") is same-same-but-different; it's lighter-hearted, almost FRIENDS.

MoL is great and pretty consistent in vibe all the way through; IMO the protag goes from kind of insufferable to a stand-up guy. Quite a good romp to scratch that "creative solutions with magic" itch.

Many years ago I tried Flutter. I had to stackoverflow every single thing because dash is a language that nobody uses (maybe it is easier now with chatgpt but this was before openai releases it). In comparison React Native feels familiar to anyone who has uses React (with in 2024 is pretty much everyone who has done anything in frontend) and you only need to read a fairly short documentation explaining the core components https://reactnative.dev/docs/components-and-apis

Regarding Expo, I found the the easiest and most sane way to get iOS compilation working. It worked for me and got it set up in < 1h. Just getting Xcode to work took me way more and I don't even use xcode to code wtf
Oh Nokia is a good example. It's mainly a network infrastructure company now, similar to Cisco, Juniper and Huawei. It's not on the news like Intel but it's dying a similar death. The stories I hear from friends working there reminds me of Intel culture.

IMHO the best outcome for these companies is to go for spin-offs route. Phillips did that with a lot of business units they had and struggle to run (ASML, NXP, their semiconductor fabs etc) and all these businesses turned out to be successful after 4-5 years of tough times. Freshly spun-off companies sometimes went for selling a while project and its dev team to others, or in some cases these projects became spin-offs on their own right. A lot of dead weight (mid-to-high management layers) got fired in the process. It was the right thing to do. Now Phillips is mainly a medical device company, tiny compared to what it used to be, and it is still struggling.

> It's designed to help manage multiple accounts without getting flagged, which seems quite useful for my Amazon accounts ...

The tool's premise seems to be that having multiple accounts on any given service is universally considered to be poor form and they help you sidestep that perceived limitation by helping hide the fact that you run multiple accounts.

Amazon's main user menu has a "switch accounts" link, i.e. they very explicitly support running multiple accounts from the same browser session.
Whenever I drive on highways in heavy rain I wonder how a self-driving car would behave. Virtually all human drivers drive unsafely in these conditions by following too closely. Would a Waymo keep the distance? Seems difficult to do in heavy traffic. The alternative I guess is to drive very slowly.
It has been for decades. Also, people don’t know what the hell they want or are talking about - so often people tell me they have no apps on their phone, they don’t like apps, they’re bad and wrong - and then I see they’ve got Facebook, instagram, 10 candy crush clones, etc. “what about those?” “Those aren’t apps. Those are things.”

My mother has total disdain for “social media users” yet spends six hours a day on Facebook. She doesn’t see it as social media. “It’s more of a virtual parlour”

So yeah. People don’t know what the hell they want or are talking about.

Adobe absolutely supports in-app purchasing for Creative Cloud. So does Microsoft with O365.

These conversations often seem to miss that Apple’s requirement is that consumer purchasing be presented as the singular option in-app, not that you have to pay Apple a cut for purchases outside the App.

Even Amazon Video supports in-app purchasing of a Prime account restricted to Prime Video access. They just know next to nobody is going to use it vs an actual Prime account.

There is no reasoning about this. Government as an entity (especially the "Rainbow" West ones like the EU and US) is literally schizophrenic or crazy or has multiple personality disorder (that's the best analogy I can come up with). Their laws are not internally consistent, their words don't match their actions, they entertain conflicting and opposing priorities, they actively do things to their own detriment, they promote the well-being of everyone but their own citizens, they can't get consensus on anything from their own populace, and they blame everyone and themselves too at the same time for their own failings.

They admit their own failings by showing us who they are "allergic" to. So yes, China may be a "bad guy", but they're painted as a boogeyman for a reason.
Sansar had that years ago. They re-created Aech's basement from Ready Player One, with walls of tapes in various formats.[1] This could be explored in VR. It was good for a few minutes of amusement, but not useful. They didn't have the rights to let you play much of the collection.

There's a business in Second Life which has virtual video stores, where all the videos are in boxes on shelves. You can walk around, look at the titles, rent them, and play them on your
virtual TV. Have friends over to your virtual house and you all see the same thing.
They have some rights deal which lets them do this for a few hundred videos.

> Despite this being an utterly useless program we've learnt something that we can apply later on: Our smallest unit of work should probably be a bit bigger than ~7 ns before we reach for Rayon.

That's a very interesting project.

The big limitation I see with the current approach is that the usability of the library is much worth than what Rayon offers.

The true magic of Rayon is that you just replace `iter()` with `par_iter()` in you code and voilà! now you have a parallel execution.
But yes it has some overhead, so maybe Rayon could try and implement this kind of scheduling as an alternative so that people pick what works best for their use-case.

Not an especially precise or traditional equality.

Most, but not all, noble and titled aristocracy had a landowner in the family, young aristocrats with older siblings would rarely inherit the land titles.

On the flip, relatively few of the landowners were part of the nobility. Many of the grand landowners were, of course, but certainly once the merchant class started earning serious coin and commissioning all the best gardens on large estate they purchased from poor nobles, well, that relationship started to fall away.

Corporations never had "responsibility towards society". In fact I much prefer corporations that don't pretend to have such a burden. It's almost always a false front.

Corps have a responsibility to deliver a product or service at a competitive price in order to sustain growth.

Friedman was an economist, not a corporate whisperer. To the extent that corps changed, they were forced to by market forces, most notably globalization, a force much bigger than one man and a force that was inevitable and even necessary in the wake of world war one and world war two.

Obviously the “tool” makes a difference, otherwise the tool wouldn’t have been used.
Yeah, but that's wrong. It's the usual confusion about Just in Time dynamic compilation by the system and incremental compilation by the user.

LISP I had an incremental compiler. The user calls the compiler with a list of functions or function definitions to compile. It's not compiling dynamic by the system and also does not use information about the running function (call statistics, call argument statistics, ...).

There is no "Just in Time" functionality provided. The developer is responsible to decide what code to compile and when to compile the code. A function needs to be compiled by the developer before it is invoked, otherwise it won't run compiled. In a JIT compiled setting the system decides when to compile the code: either on start or during runtime triggered by the system. The code will be "Just in Time" compiled.

This Wikipedia article explains the difference:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_compilation

"Just-in-time compilation is a form of dynamic compilation."

"Unlike dynamic compilation, as defined above, incremental compilation does not involve further optimisations after the program is first run."

Later Lisp systems may have aspects of JIT compilation. For example some CLOS implementations optimize code (-> method combinations) at runtime, possibly via compilation.
CS deserves the blame here but putting CS into a critical system like 911 IMHO is a huge mistake (but whoever done this likely knew they will dodge the blame so why they should care).
That bullshit to be honest. Not the lack of features in Safari, that's very real, but you don't need most of it. There is nothing that Patreon needs to do that could not be done by a 15 year old browser, let alone the newest version of Safari on iOS.

I can understand that developers would like to use certain feature, or that they'd make the job easier, but they are not required. Patreon isn't cutting edge web development, you could make it work on an IE8 if you cared enough. There it absolutely no features currently lacking in Safari that would prevent Patreon in moving to website only.
> and restricting corporations from disproportionately profiting off of my labor.

This is anti the ethos of GPL [1]

And that's fine, you choose a list or rules that fitted with your wants, you don't have to respect A/GPL.

But time and time again we see most people on HN not respecting the A/GPL ethos they clam to follow and not understanding what A/GPL will mean in practice.

> disproportionately profiting

Off Topic to GPL. Corporations have provided more value to the world than any person. Which is almost a tautology since corporations are just groups of people working together. "Disproportionately profiting off of my labor" would mean they are providing amazing resources to people who need them.

You sound like you don't want others to succeed. Which is different to you need to make money to live.

[1] The legal/logical issues we see with AGPL are from trying to get the license to match the ethos. It's commendable they did stick it out.

I was also thinking of promise pipelining, but note that the article proposes communicating A -> {B, C} -> D, never directly communicating from A to D. Cap 'n Proto "level 3" nodes could send promises from B and C to D, but that still needs A to talk to D, i.e. A -> {B, C, D}; {B, C} -> D. Same latency / depth of dependency chain, but still more messages - right?

(In return, note that Cap 'n Proto's A -> D message makes it more obvious how A figures out whether the operation succeeded; I'm not quite sure how that works in the proposed diagram. I suppose the proposed system actually puts all messages in a system-wide database, which does solve the problem.)
The parent's post aligns with my own experience. I've been using GitLab for 2 years after switching companies and I can't think of anything that is an improvement over GitHub.

I never had any issues GitHub Actions for CI stuff at my previous two companies, both which used it heavily. GitLab CI also works fine, though I struggle to see how anyone could strongly prefer one or the other as my own experience is that they basically work the same. Both basically boil down to some yaml you can use to configure running stuff in docker containers.
>Perl is objectively bad

Nah, I think it's fine.

Currently it does better escape analysis than the CLR is capable of, specially if using specific JVMs like GraalVM, Azul, as Java enjoys choice in JVM implementations. Apparently .NET 9 will have better escape analysis.

Additionally, there is the Project Valhala, whose goal is to add value types to Java, and there are now the first set of early access releases,

https://jdk.java.net/valhalla/

It has taken a while (about 10 years now) to get right, because they want to keep all existing ecosystem running on top of a Valhala improved JVM in a transparent way, and adding value types without changing the Java ABI from all stuff on Maven Central and private repos, is an herculean task.

Ideally Java's should have taken into account systems languages with GC that predated it, given the quoted influences on its design, better latter than never I guess.
Powershell fixed that issue and faces an incredible amount of snobbery and developers dismissing it because they mock the "Verbosity" of commands like:

Get-Content -Tail 20 -Wait

Nevermind that it has tab-completion of not just the commands but the parameter names too. Nevermind that it deals with piping actual objects around rather than forcing everything to be a string. What really matters to developers hearts is that everything they type is 2 characters or less and can demonstrate their extensive memory for whether it's du or df for checking space on a drive.
My preferred way to make a "magic" constant has been using base64. For example, 0x31a82270 maps to base64 `MagicA==`. This approach is most useful when the magic constant itself shouldn't be obviously ASCII but still should be meaningful enough.

>If a big record label strikes an international distribution deal with a small label, the big label brings more value to the artist than the small label does. Is that necessarily antitrust?

it ultimately comes down to what they are doing with that money in my eyes. Are they actually distributing as a presence inernationally, helping you gather talent, helping you to navigate the industry outside your area, introducing contacts and deals to you, and overall being pivotal to your small label? Sure, they get a bigger cut. They are actively growing you as a company.

Or are they saying "yeah I'll put you on our Spotify", pay you 10% of ad revenue, claiming exclusivity on your portfolio, and calling it a day? No, there's no value there that couldn't be done yourself. But you're paying for the "platform" they have. That is very much using their presence to exploit you. The key isn't necessarily "are they a monopoly" here, it's "are they abusing their position as a monopoly".

>Though it's hard for me to fault "forcing" devs to own the hardware they are developing for.

It's a tech specific sitution, but the main point wasn't the target platform, but development platforms. I can setup a Linux server rack with android emulators and use my Windows device to develop and deploy to said rack. I am forced to use mac as a development platform and they disconinued Mac's server OS. So I can't even scale up a test suite for IOS, I need to buy multiple iPhones or beefy desktop Macs to run a few emulators each.

>iOS software have enough quality issues without letting developers ship stuff that has never been tested on real HW.

great use of my subscription fee to maintain crappy emulators. They don't even have platform excuses like Android does.

Again, what am I really paying for here?

Hi, I'm excited to share a blog post that will be invaluable for developers working with Next.js: "Optimizing Next.js Data Refresh: A Guide to Revalidation with Medusa.js".

This guide walks you through different revalidation types, how to enhance their security, and how to implement revalidation with an internal server.

Why is it important? Without revalidation or opting out of data cache, your application would essentially become static.

Read the full guide here → https://rigbyjs.com/blog/optimizing-next.js-data-refresh-a-g...

I hope you found this article helpful.

Yeah, it's interesting to see techniques from short track (skates) or bike track to be used in so extremely different type of run. But after some thought, it's obvious that any long distance run can be divided into phases with different characteristcs and strategies can be built on top of it.

I sense a hint of prejudice, the “you’ll understand once you have kids” trope. Surely counsellors training is more important than their personal situation?
I wonder if you could argue this is comparable to Amazon allowing you to buy some things in the app but not others, like ebooks. Obviously Amazon is much bigger but I don’t see why an app shouldn’t be able to allow buying some things but not others. Especially when the limitation is from Apple’s functionality like in this case, rather than their fee like in Amazon’s.
