Your trajectory is quite similar to mine, particularly working with Kohana and Jekyll over the years.

My blog, in its current iteration, has also recently turned 15 (first post on June 27th, 2009). Reflecting on this long journey and how it has helped my career, I've decided to write a book about the experience.

If you'll excuse a bit of self-promotion, those interested can find out more at https://codertocto.com.

I hope sharing my journey might be helpful to others on a similar path.
We have a lot of really useful things to learn about life away from Earth even if you assume that life exists elsewhere.

How common is it? In what environments does it occur?

Does it start the same way everywhere? Does it end up going the same directions the same way everywhere? Does it use the same metabolic pathways and the same genetic material?

Even just a confirmation without taking samples or deeper analysis is enough to start on these questions. Right now we can't even really start.
I agree, building a good company culture will dictate a lot with people's feelings about doing their job and also hiring people that share the same feelings.

Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert is a good read on this - it essentially covers many psychology experiments on happiness. I mean, overstates what the studies actually say and gets repetitive by the end as you might expect for this kind of book, but it’s interesting nonetheless and avoids becoming a self help or life philosophy book. The hedonic treadmill is very real.
The concept behind the deque is explained in Correct and Efficient Work-Stealing for Weak Memory Models [1].

The idea is that only the owning thread can push tasks into the deque. If the owning thread detects that the deque is full, it creates a new one and copies the original values. Once the copy is ready, the owning thread "publishes" it by storing it in the buffer variable. Pointers to the deque are atomic, as well as the indices. Other threads can manipulate only the indices, and even if a stealing thread has an old pointer, it still points to valid data.

I hope I understood your question correctly and that this answer is helpful. You can find more details in the paper mentioned above.

I suspect you both actually agree. What they are highlighting is that the incumbents are actually slower to update or adopt newer technologies, often because they enjoy a position as you described where they don't feel normal market pressures due to a position as a monopoly or as a member of a cartel.

HuggingFace Open Source macOS Native Chat App
I don't know what you mean by "1998 linux box" sotware distribution.

I'm typing this on MacOS, which can install software from any source, including the app store. It works fine for all of my purposes, and any purpose I can imagine. I have never worried that Apple will suddenly get into a disagreement with an App maker and disable my ability to buy their software.

> The forced misdesign also increases cost (inevitably passed onto the consumers) as Apple is forced to either develop separate solutions for every relevant jurisdiction, or universally apply the most restrictive misdesign dictates.

They already have to design solutions for their app store for every jurisdiction, tax compliance and payment for just the app store probably has a team devoted to it. If a Brazilian court orders apple to stop distributing Twitter in Brazil, they will absolutely comply. I'm not asking for them to 'misdesign' anything. I'm asking for it to be possible to run a package downloaded from anywhere. I'm not asking them to distribute it via their store.
No different one.

Consider a city without any buses: everyone who's drunk, poor, has no license/insurance, underage, distracted by infants or smartphone, they're all on the road with you, walking, biking, in individual, poorly-maintained cars. You may begin screaming for them to get on a bus already.

DT tries to make everyone that peers pay them. Facebook used to pay the ransom, then decided to stop. Now its going to move to a transit connection.

The problem is DT keeps its transit routes congested or artificially limits how much traffic a transit provider can deliver.

So now when FB moves to transit, will DT widen those connections or will it keep them narrow to try to make Facebook's applications get terrible enough performance that Facebook will pay DT.

It's a showdown. DT wants to get paid twice for the same service, once by its subscribers and once by every app and website on the planet.

Thinking about it, a sidebar "canvas" could be more useful comparing to the main editor to me:

* when reading code, I found I jump back and forth the call stack quite often, a visualization of this could help with this navigation, especially with some properly designed shortcut keys.

* I mostly code on MacBook so screen real estate is precious. The canvas as main editor looks like waste a lot of screen space. But the canvas in a sidebar do not have this issue.
I also feel this with X/Twitter, where everything feels like a promotion for a course or a book or a new product.

Show HN: Catalyst – APIs for writing distributed apps backed by open-source Dapr
Hey HN community - I'm a software engineer by trade, having spent the majority of my career in writing backend apps, distributed systems and microservices in the cloud. For years I've experienced first hand the frustrations of cobbling together different SDKs, libraries and frameworks, trying to figure out the best way to use a particular pub/sub or database, wasting precious sprint time on infrastructure code and then hoping for the best that my code is able to scale properly in production.

This led me to create the Dapr open-source project in 2019, aimed at reducing the complexity of writing cloud applications. Dapr is now used by some of the largest companies in the world, including Grafana, NVIDIA, NASA and thousands of others.

Since then I've left Microsoft, where Dapr was incubated, and started my own company (Diagrid) to focus on solving pain points for application developers who just want to get stuff done.

I'm excited to share with you Diagrid Catalyst, a fully managed version of Dapr that expands it beyond Kubernetes to any compute platform and provides developers with APIs for creating event-driven applications, long running stateful workloads using durable execution, global service discovery and state management. Catalyst is now in public beta and is completely free to use.

Developing Catalyst also presented interesting challenges to our team in terms of engineering as we're effectively using Kubernetes to run a fleet of "serverless" sidecars. Happy to answer any questions!

I don't understand what people mean when they say things like CSS has gotten more complex. It's not like anyone is realistically expected to commit the entire spec to memory.

Documentation is plentiful when a person needs to use an unfamiliar feature, so it's not like it is even necessary to keep everything you use at the top of your mind. And just like anything else, if you use is often, you'll naturally learn it.

Plus, things like flex and grid have made having to remember a ton of old hacks unnecessary, so it has actually gotten markedly easier to use.

Do you mean C++ coroutines, or coroutines in general? If you're new to the concept I would try to start with Python's, then Javascript or C#. C++'s is way more complicated.
Interesting, for me this is exactly the opposite of efficient code navigation.

Some important nuance is lost here. Matt Mullenweg transferred the trademark to the WordPress Foundation (which he is head of) and the foundation (again... Matt himself) in turn granted Automattic the exclusive ability to sub-license the name commercially. This is the important bit.

What this means is that any "licensing fee" would be paid to Matt's private, for-profit, VC-backed company (and direct competitor to WPEngine) and there would be zero accountability for how it would be spent.

In practice, the foundation doesn't enjoy any benefit to owning the marks. It's all smoke and mirrors.

In the replies people are talking about current issues regarding scaling and high dpi displays.

That has little to do with it. Apple has had vastly superior font rendering since the day OSX launched, and have been in first place ever since. There's no point in my memory of the past 20+ years this was not the case regardless of display technology.

Even though other systems implement a lot of the same techniques of sup-pixel rendering, fractional scaling, etc. the results speak for themselves. With the same monitors, the same display cables, the same fonts, and the same applications, text rendered by Apple operating systems is more crisp, clean, readable, and pleasing to the eye. Configuring settings on Linux improves the situation, but no configuration gets close to the quality Apple delivers by default. Apple is also superior to Windows in this regard, but the margin is much smaller.

This is coming from a person who maintains a long list of MacOS gripes because of all the things they do wrong. Font rendering is one of the few things they have consistently done better than everyone else.
I think the expression implies they’re both in the wrong.
Show HN: I built a tool to customize ChatGPT UI
Hey HN,

I'm a solopreneur with a tech background, and this is one of my latest side projects.

Have you ever thought that ChatGPT is super cool, but its interface is just kinda boring?

I felt that way from the very beginning. It's been almost 2 years since ChatGPT became popular, and even today, all the 'better ChatGPT UI' apps still make you enter an API key. These are more like ChatGPT alternative UIs.

So I built a browser extension that does what it says - it lets you customize the ChatGPT interface by choosing colors, backgrounds, fonts, and more. It's completely free and I've been maintaining it for about a year and a half now.

What else do you think I could add to expand the customization options?

I'd love to hear your feedback!

IMO, Rooftop, and other dual-use solar are as important as Utility scale solar.

The main advantage of rooftop solar panels is that the land can be used for both power and housing. Agrivoltaics and parking lot/garage rooftop solar are other examples of dual-use solar.

Rooftop Solar + batteries (correctly done) is a geographically dispersed virtual power plant. There are almost no regulatory hurdles for installation and expansion. RTS is more resilient. One node goes down, and the rest keeps running.

Economies of scale in solar only benefit utility companies. Utility-scale solar is more vulnerable to damage, and outages affect a larger area. Current utility-scale solar installations are too big and should be distributed among each community.
> To whom?

Themselves. Plenty of companies hold the risk and outsource administration.
Sorry, s/session/request/g; corrected above.

One example is a multistep transaction processing request. The feature flag could gate several branch points.

A memory-mapped SQLite file is great too, but the strategy I describe above is less code to write, adds no new dependencies, is quicker to implement, avoids the SQLite file distribution/availability issues, and should get you a very similar performance improvement.

There are three problems: the capital cost of scaling production, PBMs and the absurd margins Novo Nordisk is milking.

PBMs are a separate issue. But the grand bargain in the first and last is the U.S. giving Novo Nordisk a loan in exchange for domestic production and a fixed price for the term of the loan, e.g. $50 per month, $9 cheaper than what they charge in Germany [1].

It's not dubious. That's exactly what DT has been doing for a long time. DT is partly owned by the German government, which might explain why it's been allowed to be a bully.

This quote jumped out to me because it is something that I see quite often among bisexual people. Especially this statement a few lines after the text you quoted:

>That’s not to say that disputes over categorization aren’t important. They may be necessary, especially in rule-making contexts like the law or in organizations. But you have to take the entire process with a grain of salt and recognize the limits of what the category can tell you.

If you peruse (safe for work) bisexual communities online, you will find a lot of people asking whether they are "actually bisexual", "still bisexual", "bisexual enough", etc. for a number of reasons. Some bisexual people who are in heterosexual or homosexual relationships (e.g., a bisexual man dating a heterosexual woman or a bisexual woman dating a lesbian woman) often share a sense of struggle with the fact that they have "chosen" a specific gender to partner with.

This creates a strange insecurity that I see to often - especially (IMO) among bisexual men - centered on whether that bisexual person is "no longer bisexual" partner because they have chosen a partner of the opposite sex.

Some people seem to have an idea that bisexuality implies a type of attraction that is evenly split between men and women. The notion that a bisexual person can have a gender preference at all seems to also be something people struggle with.

But, to me, this quote offers some much needed guidance. Namely, that bisexuality is a way of simplifying a complex form of attraction so that it can be easily understood. That simplification throws away a lot of granular information about the nature of a given bisexual persons feelings of attraction, but it is also a helpful starting point for those who feel this way and wish to understand themselves better.

In other words, like all categories, categories describing sexual attraction can be liberating, but also limiting.
I think you are misapplying that paper? This as a library is the "batteries" to C++'s no-batteries-included standard library which does not implement asynchronous coroutines at all.

The paper is much more on the side of application and system performance. But you couldn't even write such a system without a library like this providing you the tools to do so. This is much more in the domain of "basic tool for ecosystem" than "library for specific tasks". It's on the user of the tool to address the paper's question, not the builder of the tools.
GCC’s different implementation is mentioned in the article.

If the child is creating games because the act of creating games is fun, it's fine- great even! Same thing for painting, or playing basketball, etc.

The point I think GP was trying to make is, if the child is creating games because they want to share the games and they think other people will enjoy the games they created- that's where the problem is. GP is saying that kids can get disheartened because their expectation was others will enjoy their game, when potentially (very likely), others won't enjoy their game, because game design is hard. Adults may be more able to handle this emotionally and 'push through it', but children could potentially take this poorly and not want to continue game development because of the negative reactions of others.

We should absolutely continue to encourage game design (or really anything a child is interested in); I would say generally we should be aware of this potential concern for anyone developing games.
