>Western [tech] bros are insufferable.

And Putin threating the western world with nuclear war because they are losing a war they didn't need to start is not more insufferable? Come on.

>The US is the one that kept couping and ruining my country along with UK/Western Europe.

Okay, what country, [name redacted]?

>My example is one of tons and tons.

Definte "a ton" in terms of geopolitics, and maybe we can continue, but I feel like it's really not worth it for either of us.

>Keep telling yourself Russia is somehow worse

I don't have to, Putin keeps proving it every single day.

>The Russian empire colonies are far fewer than the West.

That isn't because they are benevolent or kind. You're mixing up quite a bit of stuff in your head to arrive at a dubious world view. Russia is nobody's friend.

>Your example of Mexico is so bad.

Russia is attacking their neighbor because they are opportunistic, and a bunch of thugs and liars. If the US ever wanted to take over Mexico or Canada, that would have already easily happened, but there's plenty of peace over here.

Been doing some IPC experiments recently following the 3tilley post[0], because there just isn't enough definitive information (even if it's a snapshot in time) out there.

Shared memory is crazy fast, and I'm surprised that there aren't more things that take advantage of it. Super odd that gRPC doesn't do shared memory, and basically never plans to?[1].

All that said, the constructive criticism I can offer for this post is that in mass-consumption announcements like this one for your project, you should:

- RPC throughput (with the usual caveats/disclaimers)
- Comparison (ideally graphed) to an alternative approach (ex. domain sockets)
- Your best/most concise & expressive usage snippet

100ns is great to know, but I would really like to know how much RPC/s this translates to without doing the math, or seeing it with realistic de-serialization on the other end.

Great points i also agree with. That's Apple being Apple. I'd want an open format for sure.

Thing about Apple Notes is in spite of the open ideals, if you're in the apple ecosystem, it's just easily there, on all devices, very unassuming and simply, and that's so so very valuable.

It's the long view that gets me. Over the last 20 years, if i'm in the Apple ecosystem, notes are there, synced across everything, and it's just text. and it's simple.
The problem with these sorts of discussions is both sides always want to have it both ways. When the complaint is they aren't doing something and that's against the spirit of the thing, the response is "show me the contract that says I have to do it". But when it comes to talking about how their opponent is being unfair, the words of the contract don't matter anymore. That's just not how things work, either the contract is all controlling, or the relative behaviors and non-contractual expectations matter.

Matt might well be throwing a temper tantrum, and almost certainly causing brand damage, and the result of the conflict might be actual harm to end users. BUT WP Engine doesn't get to hide behind the limits of their obligations under the open source licenses and then shift the blame they should rightfully be taking onto Matt because of his temper tantrum. Real users are not getting security updates or features they expected because the company / vendor they are buying their product from did not do due diligence to secure their supply chain. Matt could decide tomorrow to stop releasing new WP versions, or change the license (modulo CLA stuff). It's not like sudden, fundamental changes to the upstream licensing / sourcing hasn't been a constant source of headlines and conflicts for the last few years now. CentOS, Redis, HashiCorp, Akka, CockroachDB, and many more projects have fundamentally "altered the deal" and downstream customers relying on them have been caught in the crossfire. Heck, even the GPL2 vs GPL3 debate is an example of this. Are all the projects that switched to GPL3 for anti-TiVoization clauses guilty of throwing temper tantrums? Plenty of real world users were harmed by moves to GPL3, for example, Bash on macOS is stuck at 3.2 and users were forced to migrate to zsh over this move.

> There's no way to operate these features without WordPress infrastructure

Is WordPress not open source? What stops WPEngine from doing it themselves, they have the source. If its too hard, well that might explain then why their upstream vendor wants some compensation for the work. We (rightfully) criticize commercial companies for not putting resources into the huge numbers of open source projects and labor that underpins their very existence. Well this is another example of that. If an upstream source is so critical to your business that its loss would cripple you or your customers... maybe consider spending some money on securing and retaining access to that source.

Wow, they really streamlined it. I wonder how they did that. I spent a decade in the US (Permanent Res), wife was American, had two kids, worked for a solid 10 years, payed an enormous amount of taxes, had two properties, no record, not even a parking ticket and it took about 12 months and that was pre 911.

I guess they must have changed the requirements since and hired 1000's of people to process everyone. Lucky you.

I’ve known many people that immigrated to the US. I grew up in a neighborhood that was 98% southeast Asian immigrants. The 1990’s and 2000’s were a better time in a lot of ways. But in 2024 with the recession still on and housing costing a fortune where are they going to go??? I mean especially considering the overwhelmingly high record numbers too. I mean this in the most practical and sincere way.
Everything is a distributed system now, and system designs are changing in important ways.

Now if they shipped frozen burgers to France online then sure they would. If they sold “merch” in euros they would. But a local store with a physical premises trading in person? Not covered.

A European citizen living in Austin buying from Amazon though, could well be covered. Amazon do target EU citizens
rougier says that on an 80×24† vt100 40 years ago margins were an unthinkable luxury, but as you can see in any photo of a vt100, they actually do normally have margins: https://datashark.academy/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/DEC_VT1...

a little thought about how crt displays work suffices to see why this is the case. if you carefully adjust your deflection coil amplifiers to perfectly align the edge of the text with the physical edge of the display tube, you will almost certainly cut off the edges of the first or last lines or both

marginless displays are a product of flat-panel displays and window systems

#tag support across shared Notes is also abysmal. The new tag doesn’t appear as an actual tag in person 2’s system until they ‘initiate’ it.

If you look at the first captures (https://web.archive.org/web/19981205011851/http://www.memepo...), this is not the modern sense of the term “meme” as “funny picture/running gag”.

(I work at Notion)

Our public API format is not the "native" format used by the Notion editor. The overly-nested format we designed the public API is aimed at supporting statically typed programming languages like Java or Golang that do not have (tagged) union types natively. Instead we represent each option in the union type as a nullable field pointing to a nested object. This makes the structure much easier to decode in these kinds of languages, but does make it more verbose.

For a hypothetical typescript union type:

| { type: 'plain', text: string, format: Formatting }
| { type: 'link', text: string, href: string, format: Formatting }
| { type: 'page-mention', page: { id: UUID, spaceId: UUID }, format: Formatting }

we end up producing a Java-style object like this:

{
plain?: {
text: string,
format: Formatting
}
link?: {
text: string,
href: string,
format: Formatting
}
pageMention?: {
page: {
id: UUID,
spaceId: UUID
},
format: Formatting
}
}

You can see the native format by looking at API traffic in your browser devtools. Generally the native format is more confusing without type annotations.

Good thing the author isn't "mad at them for ending support" then. The complaint is over the usage of "obsolete", not that they are ending support. A second related complaint is that Apple makes it hard to refurbish the hardware.
None of that makes sense.

The primary driver of economic health in the US is frequency of domestic spending. It goes in self fulfilling cycles in that when the economy is healthy people make more money and thus can spend money more frequently. When the economy is unhealthy people make less money that drives down spending, which puts other people out of work thus further driving down the economy.

If the wealthy people want to become even more wealthy they will work to increase economic health to ensure the regular people earn higher wages which then drives spending and thus drives up the wealthy people’s stock value.

In that regard the wealthy people have only a negligible increase of power compared with regular people who vote with their spending. There is no conspiracy to this.
Good point I had not considered. I also feel that mixing family with business is risky? I’ve seen it work once.
All else being equal immigration drives down wages by increasing the labor supply and drives up housing by increasing housing demand. Nevertheless sufficiently wealthy (if they actually onshore that wealth) and productive immigrants can be a net benefit for the receiving nation. Hence the point systems and such to select for them.

As it happens, the US powers that be are big fans of real estate appreciation and wage depression. They evidently don’t much care about selecting for high value immigrants either. Tech workers who pay big taxes and create bigger value get a way harder time of it than obvious public charges. It’s strange, but revealed preferences never lie.
There's substantially more immigration to Australia through university scams (fronts that don't actually educate) than genuine immigrants. The majority is not skill and merit based because of the "temporary" "students" who can work and never leave the country, as well as the chain migration loopholes.

Australia has almost the highest immigration per capita in the world, and a massive chunk of that is pure fraud. [1]

75% of "students" come in via unregulated agents, many of whom direct students to these university fronts.

In fact, Australians overwhelmingly reject mass immigration. 71% oppose it and are regularly ignored by the powers that be on both sides. The left imports immigrants for ideological reasons and the right imports them for cheap labor for their corporate buddies.

I can sorta see why some would quibble over "rescue", because it's not like they're in immediate danger, but at the same time they're stranded because their ride malfunctioned and left them somewhere rather inhospitable. And I think "normal and expected crew rotation" as someone put it undersells the fact that while there isn't a special trip for them only, they had to bump other people off the flight just to get them, specifically.

Would people really be that much happier if it was said instead that they were making room for crew marooned by an unsafe spacecraft? I think I'd normally use the word "rescue" there if it was a ship.

But yet it is true that they plan for this kind of thing and that's why they're not in any particularly significant danger due to being marooned.

And yet you also understand exactly why Jeremy Clarkson doesn't care about emissions and safety standards, do you not?

He is not factually wrong because it is not a factual question. He cares about different things to me, and in most modern cars those things have gotten worse. I dislike the style of writing where the author confidently states "Clarkson is wrong" about an entirely subjective experience. "Clarkson is happy to destroy the world as long as he's allowed to tear off in a 1980s Jag with a cloud of blue smoke in his wake" is a better description, is more critical of him, and would have worked a lot better for me.

Last time I used it, the file picker was by file, not folder, and was fairly janky. By that I mean it was slow and cumbersome to use. Selecting one file was bad enough, let alone multiple.

But selecting an entire folder would definitely be better, assuming that the experience could be much improved. I still think there needs to be a way to bypass it for apps that truly need access to every single file--even at the risk of attackers exploiting the app or the developer deciding to turn evil--but that's getting sidetracked from the real argument. So for now, let's assume I agree that the select a folder solution is perfect.

The real issue is that Google should not be the arbiter of what apps are allowed that kind of access, and they certainly shouldn't be making small developers jump through the expensive, ineffective CASA hoop to get it.

That's the real reason iA's discontinuing development on Android, and they're right to do so. Google Drive should have a permissions model that allows for users to control how much access an app should have. That would solve the issue without the unnecessary bureaucracy, the mistakes (like suggesting an editor be read-only), and added expense that other platforms don't put on third-party developers.
This might sound crazy but I know what you mean. I hate gambling. I never found it fun, and if I’m honest, I genuinely found most of them contemptible. I was very young and much less understanding. I’m just good at games and found one I could make really good money at. I never played slots or pai gow or much else unless I had an edge on the casino, and that’s rare and usually just because of a promotion.

I’ve seen first hand people throw their lives away for it, just like they do with drugs or alcohol. Addiction has familiar patterns regardless of the particular vice, and the answer is better mental health facilities, not criminalization.

All giving an addict a rap sheet does is make it harder for them to get a job.

Illegal gambling is an interesting underworld. You’ll be at the same table with drug addicts, local politicians (even police sometimes), successful businessmen, and everything else you can imagine.

It’s less in-your-face harmful than fentanyl but the processes they go through are similar.

I think legalizing gambling gets rid of a lot of problems, but of course, causes problems too. But just because legalizing it led to an upsurge in sports betting doesn’t mean the best option is to make it illegal again.

Cigarettes are the model to me for vices. It’s the best public health win I’ve lived to see. Instead of making them illegal, we made them expensive and uncouth. We made cigarette companies fund campaigns to get people off cigarettes, to huge effect.

That’s what I believe we should do for gambling. Legalizing it was not a mistake, and looking at the picture shortly after and deciding it was is short sighted.
