if you have too many deeper questions you rule out a lot of eager juniors who can learn and grow on the job. its a fine balance though, but looking at the article, ben's taking his lessons and growing. thats more important i think than having someone who's some guru from the get go. everyone has things they are better or worse at, and it's really a team effort to do everythinng right. presumably someone reviewed and accepted his code, that person also didnt catch it... there's no developer who knows everything and makes all perfect code and design. its a well balanced team that can help go in that direction
Ugh I got to the last paragraph and that definitely sounds like GPT. I can't stand those in summary paragraphs. The way it has to twist off and add a ribbon to every body of text. I hate that.

> well-understood imprecision that applies evenly over results

I'm sorry, I have some bad news for you... especially the "evenly" part. I had a friend who worked at IBM research on the problem of "normalizing" some matrix multiplication irregularities which occur due to numerical underflow or overflow. And, it's anything but a solved or an easy problem.
I wonder if they sensed that at some point number plates would be automatically recorded wherever you drive, even when not causing an accident or doing anything illegal.

Just a funny coincidence or is there some connection?: OP writes that legislation started 1 January 1904, which happens to be the time epoch in the classic Mac OS, which was released in 1984 with the well-known 1984-styled commercial.
My point is that the question is not even clear. “What if” what exactly?
They have a proper, standard, high-level way of interacting with each other, literally the whole OS is built around than. Read up on android services, intents, etc. It is eons better than dbus-ing and writing to random files all over my home dir is that linux desktops do.

Killing stuff from time to time is literally an advantage for a system - look at the battery life of a linux desktop or a pinephone. You have to make apps ready for a possible suspension, otherwise they just keep on draining the battery. Besides, services can be called from an active activity, or binded by one and then they will not be killed under normal circumstances.

I don’t want a random app to read my browser caches/ssh keys, etc, but if you like any random repo you download having access to your personal files, you do you.

Oracle is not known for its generosity.
Most people taking determinism seriously is exactly the same as most people taking God seriously, when neither determinism or God is provably known to be present or absent from the situation. Any attempt to decide the question of free will on either flimsy foundation is, really, just navel-gazing seriously.

Occam’s Razor, used properly, looks for the explanation with the least number of constituent assumptions; if the fact is the Universe operates in a manner in which quantum indeterminacy holds, the so do our nerves, thus so does everything we perceive at a human (read as “extremely ignorant”) scale. In such a world the ground state of Occam’s is one in which non-determinacy is a fact and any and all thoughts of determinism are a pointless diversion… this makes it really important to reach a conclusion on the question of whether or not the smallest scale is stochastic or not before building a philosophical or political platform atop any assumption of the contrary.
The million-dollar mystery of milk.com
You really have to be doing huge levels of throughput before you start to struggle with scaling MySQL or Postgres. There’s really not many workloads that actually require strict ACID guarantees _and_ produce that level of throughput. 10-20 years ago I was running hundreds to thousands of transactions per second on beefy Oracle and Postgres instances, and the workloads had to be especially big before we’d even consider any fancy scaling strategies to be necessary, and there wasn’t some magic tipping point where we’d decide that some instance had to go distributed all of a sudden.

Most of the distributed architectures I’ve seen have been led by engineers needs (to do something popular or interesting) rather than an actual product need, and most of them have had issues relating to poor attempts to replicate ACID functionality. If you’re really at the scale where you’re going to benefit from a distributed architecture, the chances are eventual consistency will do just fine.

This can and does happen with local environments too.

Ideally both options would be available using a wrapper that ensures consistency across CI, cloud dev and laptop dev environments but I havent had that luxury anywhere.

But also, I was wondering if she was going to say, "these devices have cameras on them which are not used because they are pointed in random directions depending on how they are mounted". And then I was hoping to see an interesting image recognition task, "given this blurry, dim, random image, choose which location it probably came from".

Looks nice. Since imports numpy can utilize (more of) numpy's operations to squeeze validation functions and nested fors to one. Should result in shorter code but readability will probably depend on reader's experience in array programming.
Temporal graph visualization is quite lacking. It probably depends what one time slice of your network looks like.

If you have 10 to 20 nodes without a ton of edges you could use a fixed circular layout for the nodes on a timeline that just the edges change over time.

More than this and you start getting into hairball territory even without the changes over time. A hairball changing over time is even more useless than a hairball on its own.

The standard force directed layout is really quite useless other than seeing the global structure of the graph. The uselessness is more obvious when you try to change it over time. I suspect the layout is so standard because the visualization looks so cool.

Most data visualization though has this same problem. There is almost this property that the cooler and more beautiful the visualization is, the more useless it is as far as containing any insight about the data itself.
Two thoughts:

* in every single case I’ve seen, the developers who broke their local environments that badly had significant skill deficits which affected their general productivity. Investing in training paid dividends far beyond not having to deal with their local environment getting hosed since they also stopped creating massive security and performance problems in production.

* building a cloud-based development where someone can refresh it automatically means you’ve identified a reliable process for installing and configuring everything. That same process can be run locally, probably using the same container definitions for everything except the parts they’re focused on.
I do think most of the comments here are missing the core point, which isn't so much about whether your development environment is running on your laptop or on the cloud, but more that it's possible to stand up your own environment with a functional version of your product. It's distressingly common that this isn't possible, and you can only test and integrate your code in a single shared development environment, or worse, production, and that neither of these are actually reproducible.

Lots of internal changes. I'm not entirely sure how removing Echo will help the project, though..

I'm excited to see what's the Batch api going to look like. I have a few projects that definitely need it to make operations atomic.

Also, readonly/hidden fields are a great addition!
>The upside seems to be some mythical infinite scalability which will collapse under such positive feedback loops.

Unless I misunderstand something here, they say pretty early in the article that they didn't have autoscaling configured for the service in question and there is no indication they scaled up the number of replicas manually after the downtime to account for the accumulated backlog of requests. So, in my mind, of course there can be no infinite, or really any, scalability if the service isn't allowed to scale...
Thanks for this!

I suppose for our purposes, both determinism and indeterminism create the same paradox of free will. Determinism gives every event a determined prior cause, and indeterminism opens the door for random or otherwise undetermined prior causes, but both are incompatible with the notion of free will.

Would you agree with that reframing, or am I missing something?
(And that is of course what is actually alleged in the indictment.)

Print ~10 copies on paper as a book with archive quality paper.

If you are 25 today (2024) you might have adult children in 25 years time; adult grandchildren in another 25 years and great grandchildren 10 years after that (in 2084).

I live by this principle: If it takes you more than 30 seconds to test a change, you're going to have a huge productivity drain.

That means writing a test should be easy and running it should be fast (including any compilation steps). As soon as something takes more than 30 seconds, you've lost a lot of people. They've switched tabs. They're on HN or reddit or they've pulled out their phone.

You've broken the flow.

Some people can work effectively in an environment where it takes 1-10+ minutes to build something and then you run enough code to test a bunch of changes at once. You might even have multiple clients open at once and you switch between. This doesn't suit me and it doesn't suit a lot of people I've worked with.

Where does local storage fit in? Any test you write will probably need data. You don't want to mock out your data storage. You just want to use the same API and have it be backed by a hash map (or whatever) and have it easy to populate that with data.

Once you have that, local data for something interactive like a website becomes a natural extension.

I almost made ChatGPT write a Python program that creates a monthly work schedule (for imaginary workers) based on specific constraints (e.g. there are 10 workers, 2 shifts (morning and night), must work 40 hours per week, must have at least one weekend in a month off, 2 minimum workers per shift, no more than 3 consecutive working days, and so forth).

I am not sure if I could make it give me a working solution, however, and I have not tried Claude, for example, and I have not tried to do it with other programming languages. Maybe.

The issue was that it messed up the constraints and there were no feasible solutions, that said, it did give me a working program for this that had fewer constraints.

The Shining is one of my favorite King books and I always thought the movie was a bastardization of his work. One of my biggest peeves is the fact that Wendy in the book was a much stronger character than the one played by Shelley Duvall. Also the hotel was actually haunted and not a mental breakdown by John. There was a very real supernatural element.

May I add a more concise yet helpful presentation of Prof. Bertsekas Ten Simple Rules for Mathematical Writing

https://www.mit.edu/~dimitrib/Ten_Rules.pdf
I'm fighting with a variant of this right now - Attempting to build a multiplayer game with dedicated servers & master server authority. I've got 4 computers involved to run the full dev iteration (2 for 1v1 clients, 1 for master server and 1 for dedicated server host). The clients I am running in my local LAN with both servers in AWS.

Attempting to do all of this on the local machine will mostly work, but it fails to exercise a lot of the networking concerns (public IP detection, port assignment, etc.), and weird edges crop up as latency grows beyond 0ms. It also makes it impossible to test with other players on other LANs without reaching for complicated networking setups that add even more confusion when things go wrong.

I could write a bunch of bandaid "if editor attached" code throughout, but I also like the idea that I am testing the final thing on the ~final hardware and there isn't going to be any weird dragon fight after this.
There is no proven “deterministic causality”.

There is a free will that is easily proven.

I could give elaborate answer to your question, but I chose to give a short and primitive one.

You’ve made in the image of god and got a gift of free will.

Could HN search special case "HTTP"?
I have a particular interest in http servers at the moment, but any search that includes “http” will return every story that has an http[s] link in the URL.

Could search terms that are network protocols either not return links that start with the network protocol? Or is there a way I’m not seeing of excluding just the protocol portion of the URL from matching (I’d want URLs that included “http” elsewhere in the URL, for instance).
At my work senior leads and architects always shoot down being able to develop locally, especially when devs bring up wanting the capability. The critique is some variation of “it would be impossible to run all services locally” or “it would be too expensive.”

So we develop the code and deploy into QA, often breaking things. Cycle times are measured in hours to days. Breaking QA is sometimes a fireable offense. Lol.

The leads and architects are correct in my case; it would be impossible and too expensive to do. This is because our services are built on hundreds of bespoke manual configurations made along the way to production. Discovering and pulling into code/automation would be a whole months/year long project in itself.

That said there are ways of developing locally without running everything locally. Pull in the code of the service you want to work on locally and just point to QA for its dependencies. Most times it takes some finagling of code but it usually works.

Even if everything was running locally, often generating usable data is the biggest barrier. In QA thousands of hands have generated partly useable data. It’s a hard problem to solve since I don’t want to have to know about data requirements for every service.

My vote would be for Silent Storm (2003): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Storm

>The game features a remarkably advanced physics model. Nearly all structures are completely destructible. This has many tactical effects in the combat. For instance, if a character hears an enemy moving in an adjacent room, they can simply fire through the wall to attack them. Silent Storm also employs ragdoll physics for bodies according to the precise velocity of an impact. Fully three-dimensional mapping allows for obstruction calculations and cover effects from all angles. Bullets ricochet and their stopping power depends on the weapon. The effects are exaggerated for a more cinematic experience (a hail of non-fatal bullets only make the target shake, but a single fatal bullet can send the target flying).
True. It's apparently one of the most common pests in Norwegian households and in the Scandinavian countries, but not that common elsewhere[1]. Seems it might be related to our climate, with cold winters but warm indoor temperatures.

No, but I find it more likely that anyone telling me I should and implying they already did are trolling. What if I told you the real evidence is found in the sewers of Manhattan?
That could be a completely different problem. In China many people run PCDN (p2p CDN) for profit. The ISPs detect (and ban) such PCDN nodes by checking your uploaded / downloaded ratio. To increase this ratio thus avoid being detected, these people download popular torrents again and again without uploading at all.
Hmm interesting
>Only tangentially related of course. But we end up using the Web (webapp in this case) for all sorts of things where “works on my machine” is not even a potential problem.

I am not sure how much web development you have done, but the "works on my machine" problem can and does show up. And not just machines, different browswers and different browser versions. Unless you go very simple, you can get a graphic designer to point out plenty of problems for you.

I find it irritating when a program's compile time is perceptible. In compiled languages, TCC (Tiny C Compiler) was the only one that came close, though it doesn't seem to be great for production use.

This made me switch back to JS and Python. The frictionlessness of "I made this change and I see the result in the same breath" is very compelling to me. Fortunately there are fast TypeScript compilers now, which make the process more or less tolerable (in watch mode).

I seem to be in the minority here, preferring instant responsiveness. When I run Windows XP in a VM, and press Win+E, an explorer window is presented to me in the next frame, fully rendered. When I do this on the host OS (Win10), it takes several hundred MS for the OS to draw a window, and then I watch with sadness for several moments as the UI elements are drawn one by one. If they had done nothing for twenty years, it would still be perfect.

I'm also reminded of Casey Muratori doing the Visual Studio questionnaire. They asked how long do you think it should take to launch. The lowest option was "ten seconds", and he found this comical and depressing. VS used to be much faster, too.
It sounds like your experience is a good example of having a full integration test setup which is basically what the "real thing" is.

For doing end to end tests, that is likely required! But as the project matures over time hopefully you can carve out code which can be tested without the network stack.
And per many anecdotes on HN it's not just a "may" - I recall reading about people who had been prompted to upgrade to some paid tier, and upon declining their free tier account was closed.
