The value of static typing depends very much on the application domain. In a closed-world application domain where you can be reasonably sure that you know upfront all entities, their attributes, their valid ranges, etc, static typing is extremely valuable. That applies to domains like compilers, system software, embedded systems, and more.

In open-world domains, like business information systems, static typing is often an obstacle to fast adaptation.

Whereas immutability provides value in every domain, unless the performance requirement cannot be met.
What killed it is all the games were watered down versions of console games. PSP games were really unsatisfying on average, for no obvious reason. I own one with a bunch of games, and tried (hard) to really scratch the gaming itch when I was traveling for work all the time with it. I gave up and started lugging an Xbox 360 with me sometimes... The game to date I've played most on PSP is the PS1 version of FF7 (which I bought from the Playstation store, fwiw).

The DS had way more piracy and was a runaway success by all accounts.

Consider this: Nintendo has a history of understanding what gamers really enjoy; Sony has a very inconsistent history of this.

Read these two articles from the perspective of Sony selling ~83 million PSP's, and Nintendo selling ~154 million DS's:

Getting back to my argument...

If Microsoft could figure out how to make a profitable Xbox One portable at a 300-400 dollar price point, make it digital-only (maybe with some option to import a game off a disc from your console), they'd sell a gajillion units.

My dream of a portable game console is playing Left4Dead for hours on end stuck in an airport. Still not doable - thanks to limited battery life of the Steamdeck-like portables.
So not refuting any of Matt’s points !

WPEngine literally exists on Matt’s product but they are neither ready to contribute dev hours or money (which can be used for development) to platform.

I don’t think this makes WPEngine looks good.

That’s what Matt said.

Now they are trying to legally block him for perfectly genuine points.

Would have been great if they clarified any of those points.

Matt’s points still hold true.
It depends what you do with it. If you only need a small VM to manage your emails nothing will beat a VPS. But I also use it for offsite backup, so need a bit of storage. When you add dozens of TB, dedicated quickly becomes way more expensive. Particularly given that I tend to park there old hard drives which cost I have already amortised.

I imagine that this would be reason enough for them to either comply with the law or not operate there, like every other business does? You seem to imply that it's ok for internet companies to be above the law, I don't see how that's compatible with self-determinism/democracy (loss of jurisdiction) nor in the interests of the people (because inevitably such companies will optimize their profits at the expense of the public and can't be held accountable, in your anarchic world order).

The most trust Firefox Tech company is accurate. It implies many firefox tech companies exist and they are the best one.

No that’s on the various design agencies that sell “custom websites” and instead they just slap together a 59$ theme and a dozen plug-ins. Most customers don’t know shit about the web and they just trust the agency to do a professional job. And in my 10+ years of experience as a freelancer I’ve seen plenty of agencies taking advantage of clients.
> UN chief has been stating that the risk of nuclear warfare is at the highest point in decades

Would love to see how they're calculating this.

I'd agree we're at post-Cold War high in terms of risk of nuclear war. But that's because we have more nuclear states than before [1]. I'm sceptical we're worse off than the early 1990s, when the Soviet Union was collapsing and former Communist officials were busy staging coups and whatnot. I'm also sceptical that Russia and America are at greater risk of nuclear war than during e.g. the collapse of Yugoslavia or the Syrian civil war.

> Historically the risk has been highest during periods of geopolitical tension

Sure. Though it's difficult to argue anything about nuclear use historically given they've only been used in one campaign, the Cold War was a strategic nuclear stalemate, and the post-Cold War era doesn't particularly sustain your hypothesis. (Pyongyang and Pakistan being particularly-potent wildcards.)

For the sake of argument, however, let's assume you're right. Are you claiming Donald Trump wasn't a source of geopolitical tension? The Trump who continued our occupation of Afghanistan, boosted troops in Iraq and Syria, offed an Iranian major general and seriously weighed leaving NATO? All while launching a multi-pronged salvo at China?

This isn't a Trump v Biden or Harris thing. It's just the reality of a superpower expressing its geopolitical interests.

That's a pretty much orthogonal issue if you compare dedicated servers to, say AWS EC2. There aren't that many tasks you would have to perform on bare metal that you don't have to do in EC2.

PaaS such as Heroku or Vercel, that's another story.
Yeah, the proper analogy would be a king and his court jester. Ultimately the king has the jester to show others that they don't take themselves too seriously, but one should make no mistake as to which of the two are richer and more powerful.

Webhostingtalk, lowendbox, and lowendtalk should have some options for you.

Anywhere with a major internet exchange is likely to have lots of options. If you don't know where those are, you can just look for cities with Equinix locations. Equinix isn't cheap, but some will have a warehouse on the cheap side of town with fiber to Equinix and you can rent a cabinet from them.
That’s pretty unfair. Most of the work I do can be considered “marketing” since it’s corporate sites and portfolios. Businesses need to have an online presence of some sort and someone has to create one for them. Not everything is SEO spam.

Colo is for racks. It's for businesses. If you just need a single server, you'll be better served by a dedicated server from hetzner, ovh, etc. The only exception I can think of to this is GPUs. If you have your own GPUs and have a legitimate use for them, colo pricing may beat server rentals.

Many as in two: China and India [1]. And "credibly" is doing a lot of work there. If America began a strategic bombing campaign of China's military, economic and population centers with conventional weapons fired off aircraft carriers, I find it ridiculous to imagine China would refuse to ever nuke a CVN.

After a few years building on WP I switched to https://getkirby.com/ and never looked back.
First, I'm not sure your example comes close to infringing the trademark, but even if it does: Wouldn't the correct step be to inform the infringing party that you see it as infringement and give them a date by shich they have to rebrand, and give it to your lawyer after that? Why would you make threats about destroying their reputation by doing a keynote about them if you are legally in the right? That's just childish.
At least some versions of HP-UX running on the HPPA architecture did the same thing. Writing to a NULL pointer would SIGSEGV, but reading got you a zero. There was a linker flag to turn off this "feature", but when I tried that, I started getting SIGSEGV:s all over various libraries I had no control over...
You're not really missing anything.

Co-location has never scaled down to 1U very well, because of the overheads - you can't just let trust 40+ customers to slide their 1U server into the same rack without security concerns and/or losing lots of space, and having extra work with power distribution and networking that the customers themselves are responsible for with a full rack.

Just access arrangement for 40x more customers adds up in admin overheads, and colocation isn't really a tech play as much as it's a real-estate play similar to parking where the goal is minimum effort rent-extraction with as little staff as possible...

Flatpak is not a common userspace library, just a set of sandboxed functions (i.e. portals).

What we need is something that groups Qt/GTK, pipewire, part of systemd, part of flatpak, part of Wayland into a single library, a bit like Win32 is. And the guarantee that it remains stable even for closed source projects. For example Linux is free to change its internals and requires everything to be open, so drivers can be adapted whenever the APIs change. This is not good enough for a desktop API.
I don't know what to say. Not paying big bucks to cloud platforms so they can lock you in and keep your code and data hostage seems undemocratic.

Personally I’m think a big issue is the insistence of wanting to keep everything as backwards compatible for as long as possible. It becomes a burden. At some point you have to accept to make substantial changes in order to improve the situation but it’s not going to happen in the WP ecosystem because that’s one of their selling points.

I've heard that argument before, but it never really clicked, and I'm a former fan of dynamic typing.

The application domain is not relevant because you rarely know the domain up-front. Even if the domain is fully known by business stakeholders, it's not known by the application developers, and those domains can be vast. Application development is a constant process of learning the domain and of extending the existing functionality.

This is why all the talk about how LLMs are going to make it possible to replace programmers with people using prompts in English doesn't make much sense. Because the act of programming is primarily one of learning and translating requirements that are initially confusing and context dependent into a precise language. Programming is less about making the computer dance, and more about learning and clarifying requirements.

Static typing helps with refactoring, A LOT!

So when your understanding of the domain changes, YOU WANT static typing because you want to safely change already existing code. You want static typing precisely because it gives you “fast adaptation”.

It's the same argument for why someone would pick Clojure over other dynamic languages. Clojure gives you some guarantees due to the pervasive use of immutability, such that it gives you a clearer view of the API's contract and how you can change it. But statically typed FP goes even further.

I've been involved in projects using dynamic typing (PHP, Perl, Ruby, Python) and with no exception, the code became a mess due to the constant evolution. This is one reason for why we preferred an architecture of microservices because it forces you to think of clear boundaries between services, and then you can just throw away or rebuild services from scratch. Large monoliths are much more feasible in statically typed languages, due to the ability for refactoring. And no, while unit testing is always required, IMO, it isn't the same thing.

Show HN: Insights.hn – Real-time Hacker News posts and comments analytics
Hi HN, I'm excited to share a project I've been working on for the past few months: https://insights.hn/, a real-time analytics platform for Hacker News posts and comments.

Why did I build this project?

I built this project to help me understand the trends and patterns in the HN community. I've always been fascinated by the discussions and insights shared on HN, and I wanted to create a tool that could help me explore and analyze this data in real-time.

How it works?

The platform collects data from the Hacker News API and processes it in ClickHouse database to provide insights on the top posts, comments, and users on HN. The data is updated in nearly real time, so you can see the latest trends and discussions as they happen.

I hope you find this project useful and interesting. I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions for how I can improve it further.

It shows the code base rarely matters compared to user adoption.
Frankly, your contract was that you have no idea what fields those objects might have. I'm just fulfilling it. You won't have checks for validity of each field, as Optional is valid, but you will have to have code that handles Optional<> types (so things like foo.getModel().orElse()...), which is the requirement you described. That doesn't mean you'll be constantly checking the validity of each field.
Dreamforce is definitely not an "AI event". I know that Salesforce themselves are billing it as an AI event, but nobody in attendance considers it an AI event, including Salesforce themselves. They announced some new platform called "Agentforce", which seems to be a rebranding of some existing AI features with some new vaporware thrown in for good measure. [1]

The audience for Dreamforce is mostly non-technical (managers, sales, etc), and they are mostly there to drink a little Salesforce kool-aid, meet up with other industry contacts, and enjoy a free trip to SF on the company tab. I went one year with a couple of coworkers, and we spent 80% of our time at a local restaurant that Salesforce had rented out and turned into an open bar.

Check out the keynote to get a sense of what Dreamforce events are actually like [2]. Yes, that is Jim Cramer sitting in the front row and high fiving Mark Benioff. Definitely ripe for mockery, and I imagine Mulaney's set went over well with a lot of the attendees too, who are probably getting pretty tired of Salesforce's dog and pony show after a couple days at Dreamforce, and are looking for some release.

Did you verify everything else it said is true?
While colocation offers greater control and potentially lower costs for high-performance needs, it's worth noting that for many small to medium-sized operations, cloud services can still be more cost-effective when factoring in the total cost of ownership (TCO). This includes not just hardware costs, but also the time and expertise required for maintenance, upgrades, and troubleshooting.

Another one of the primary advantages of cloud services is the ease of scaling. In a colocation environment, scaling up often means purchasing new hardware and physically installing it. How do you address the scalability needs of rapidly growing applications or services in a colocation setup?
