Yeah I’ve been waiting awhile for this myself. A few PRs with work pending for a year or so. I’ve seen some proof of concepts but nothing anywhere close to usable.
True I get that. I think even for full time founders if you’re seeing crazy adoption by unpaid customers, then there’s something there. Once you have a bunch of free users it’s easy to expand into something that users are willing to pay for then to do that from scratch.

You don’t wanna be in a place where you’re seeing low signups overall and low usage even by free customers. It’s nice to be cautious of that but again all of these metrics are relative to what stage your company is at.

I used the wasm build of sqlite and the Chicory runtime to create a pure JVM executed sqlite library: https://github.com/dylibso/sqlite-zero

It's more of an experiment than an attempt to make something production ready, though I could see it being useful to bring dependency-less sqlite tooling to the JVM ecosystem.
Yea the extension should be able to do that

I disagree that it's "proper" especially when it starts to stray into "irresponsible"
> You have not ever specified how a model of memory, for example, cannot be falsified.

Wait ... did I read that right? It's up to psychology's critics to identify unfalsifiable claims, as well as face the classic impossibility of a negative proof, which BTW is a classic logical error? I imagine that psychologists would want to use positive evidence to shore up the foundations of their own field, by for example demonstrating the connection between a memory model and its biological foundation.

On that topic, the recent drosophila study (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/scientists-unveil-...), in which this tiny creature's entire brain was mapped in detail, is likely to be at least as revolutionary as the researchers claim, for the reason that nothing is left out. No guesswork -- memory, function, sensory connections -- simple, yes, but complete.

It's noteworthy that this work relies entirely on biology, with no role for the idea of a mind. Eventually this approach will see psychology wither away, as did alchemy, once more scientific approaches became possible.

In fact, now that I think about it, this neuroscience disregard for drosophila's mind ought to inspire criticism from psychologists on the ground that, according to psychology, the mind is an essential component of any valid study of brain function.

> The dualist mind body is irrelevant to psychology.

Of course it is. Because if this were not so, the field would collapse. The connection between mind and body is an article of faith among psychologists -- faith, not evidence.

> Your current view of my field is archaic, confused, and frankly incredibly naive.

That's quite the argument. Medieval and heartfelt.

Now I have a question. Given the drosophila study -- a complete survey of a small creature's brain in which the function of all the elements is known -- how many years will be required for the nervous system of a larger creature, and eventually a human being, to be mapped and characterized in such a way that a falsifiable, biological basis for behavior is demonstrated, one that does away with the very idea of a mind as a temporary and unnecessary crutch?

Given that inevitability, what will happen to psychology?

I also wonder about this, a question having nothing really to do with our discussion -- will we fully map the human nervous system as to form and function, using increasing amounts of computer power, or will AI take over society beforehand, also relying on increased computer power? Which will happen first? Will we exhibit the wisdom required to curb AI, prevent it from overwhelming our lame biological processors?

This last really is an open question, unlike the abandonment of psychology, which seems a foregone conclusion.
SRE here, it's currently happening in a few parts but overall, it's not as attractive on server side. Server Side code running is mostly a solved problem and for very few organizations, the benefits of WASM don't outweigh any difficulties in getting it running.

This. I understand web devs can just use whatever runs Google Chrome but the real world is a bit more complex.

CS2 has over 900k online on Steam right now... Where people push the game to 200fps plus. A PC that can do that can also do anything else. Dev work, VMs, Docker, whatever. Why switch to ARM? Because their soy starbuxx latte workplace gets 2-3h more in battery life?

But I have to disagree on

>With consoles often being the devices that set a performance standard for PC's, I doubt they would be moving to ARM in the next generation so would not happen until the 10th generation. We are likely 2-3 years away from hearing about gen 9, and then another ~8 years until ARM becomes a conversation for any serious game console. There just would not be any incentive for PC to make a serious switch until that point (or around that time) since it would also fruther complicate game development.

Consoles used to be MIPS, POWERPC and stuff and PCs where x86 "back then".

XBOX is like the first x86 console. So I dunno your point here. Really man.

???

Switch is ARM right. Nintendo Switch.

Sony and MS went from POWERPC to x86 as IBM could not make a PPC CPU fast enough and ARM was not good in a big formfactor. Sony and MS use AMD hardware but in PCs Nvidia GPUS are still the best, yes they are my experiece personally and look at numbers. XBOX1 used to be nvidia gforce 3 but abd pricing. So all went AMD later. PS3 was CELL 8 core PPC and Nvidia 70xx GPU. 360 was PPC and AMD gpu. Wii was PPC and AMD gpu.

>There just have not been much movement in this regard. We are seeing a few ports come to Mac (and iPhone) but those are the exceptions.

Nobody on Mac is actually a gamer.

>(not mobile, I am not dismissing mobile but it is not the traditional market that is relevant to this conversation

I will btw. I do not understand why people here love mobile games. No wait I do. They are easy, quick and P2W. They are busy adults or kids or pajeets with no money.

In mobile, what sells? Gatcha games, pay to win trash. There are some gems but few and far between. They are built in a predatory way to take your money.

I think it is a special case because the Rust people is especially annoying in their evangelism.

I remember a degree of pushback on FP, because the people that were into things such as Haskell and Scala were a little annoying with their desire to add FP everywhere too.

My takeaway is that annoying evangelists get a level pushback similar to how annoying they are.
It's not just medical threads, it's tech too. You (probably, I'm assuming) just don't know the tech as well as you do the medicine, so it doesn't stand out as absurd to you.
The current version is amazingly relaxing. If you have an XBox Series X or S and GamePass I highly recommend giving it a try. My favorite part was flying over parts of the World I’ve previously lived in or visited. There were definitely some glitches, but for the most part it’s an absolutely stunning experience.
You just go to distributed launch. You launch a rocket multiple times, fuel up and use that to escape. If you use your upper stage as the primary, its unlikely to ever come back.

But in future you would potentially have special boost stage for that. See something like Impulse Space is building.

But for these really powerful throws, its probably just cheaper to just drop an upper stage. Upper stages are a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of a flagship mission. A Falcon 9 upper stage is only a couple million $.
Nope, true of all of them. They're massively large and pretty flat, so yes you can be in them for a "long" time. But still saddle points tiny perturbation will kick you out. It'll just take a while to get kicked out due to the shear size of these "points". They "capture" asteroids temporarily.
You can immediately learn a lot from the "Refactoring UI" series: https://youtube.com/watch?v=S6-q5BheEYU

These tips seem good too: https://lobau.io/design-tips/

A lot of UI design is about spacing elements properly and consistently. Humans subconsciously notice when spacing is off. This video does a decent job showing examples: https://youtube.com/watch?v=9ElrcTtAxzA

Here's a good tool for making spacing and sizing scales in CSS: https://utopia.fyi/

https://every-layout.dev/ will show you the right CSS for common web layouts. They have a few free examples.

Try practicing by coding some single page HTML/CSS experiments, or sketching some wireframes, or redesigning someone else's webpage.

Use color palette generators unless you want to study color theory.

Use other people's design systems if you want to ship something instead of just practice. Material Design, Pico CSS, component libraries, whatever looks good with minimal fuss.
Just a point of jargon: "SIM swapping" commonly refers to the scam where criminals usurp someone's mobile account by swapping the phone number to an attacker-controlled SIM card already installed in a separate, attacker-controlled mobile device.

The physical act of removing one SIM card, and/or inserting another, into a mobile device, often for legitimate purposes, may also be "SIM swapping" but I've striven to avoid using those words, due to confusion with criminal activity.
That particular one (twin primes) is one of a set of four, selected for being "unattackable" in 1912, and still unsolved.

Exactly. "All SAAS for b2b is just an SQL wrapper". That's until they do something distinguishing, make implementation easier/faster/cheaper or come up with a new technology. Yes the playing field is level now, but what can they do in 1,3,10 years? How will new models play into this?

Saying “It’s going to be dangerous out there" when it's merely a bit below freezing (Sorry, am Canadian) can legitimately be called fear-mongering. Some people are going to get a little chilly and learn a life lesson about wearing proper clothing, but minor cold is relatively easy to react to. Even if someone decides to go for a drive in the country with nothing but shorts on, help is readily at hand in most places if they have a breakdown.

On the other hand, scaring people about natural disasters like hurricanes can and does save lives. Milton didn't turn out to be the storm of the century as some were saying, but it still killed three hundred people. How many more might have died if people hadn't taken it so seriously?

Let's just be thankful that lawyers haven't found a way to sue weather forecasters for being incorrect, because then we'd have no weather forecasts.

Modern C still promptly decays an array to a pointer, so no array bounds checking is possible.

D does not decay arrays, so D has array bounds checking.

Note that array overflow bugs are consistently the #1 problem with shipped C code, by a wide margin.

Chunk gen makes sense to implement last or never. If you want a performant Minecraft server you need to pregen all the chunks anyway. You can still later regen chunks that have never been visited to get new chunkgen on updates since chunks store the inhabited time.

I think Minecraft server re-implementations are pretty neat and I like to see when a new one comes out. There are also specific purpose server impls like MCHPRS for doing fast redstone compilation for technical minecraft.

The cgi model(also inetd) starts a new process on every single request.

If you wrote your service in C like god intended(sarcasm) this is not a problem, unix systems are traditionally by design very good at starting processes.

However python(my favorite language for what it's worth) has a lot of baggage it needs to sort out when it starts. so python specifically and any interpreted language that takes more than a few milliseconds to start in general starts to suffer under heavy loads in the one process per request model.

Thus the motivation to make it one process for many requests.

Right, this is the difference between most car functions and then something like FSD. Reliability. Cruise Control always works the exact same, where the car will break/accelerate exactly as much as it needs to, to maintain the speed it is set to go. Same thing with ABS, where the brakes will be perfectly pulsated when heavy braking. Or differentials. Or pretty much any car system.

FSD is a little too wild west. I also lump ACC and LKAS in here, too. Phantom brake and bad directional input exist for those way too often.

I don't really know what you're trying to say with the politics distraction, so I guess the answer to your last question is "apparently you can't."
> Was there a similar backlash against the rise of Java, Swift, Kotlin, or TypeScript?

Absolutely. Swift was hated because it lacked so much Objective-C functionality at launch, Kotlin got a similar "Java is fine" reaction, and Typescript got a "why add more complexity we don't need" reaction.

This is just the way of things. The most hated languages are some of the most used ones (Javascript, PHP, Python, etc).
I wonder when Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI will partner on an open chip design to compete with NVIDIA.

This what security people refer to as "tailgating" and at one office, our security people were trained to spot this. I tried several times when I had lost my ID and got yelled at and had to get a visitor pass for the day.

Another very large tech company the security people DGAF about anything. You could forget your ID, tailgate someone, no problem. I started doing this to see how often I could do it, even when I had my ID. Security never stopped me, but when one of the C-suite folks did a badge scan, my manager got an earful wondering why I was never in the office. Which then resulted in a lengthy meeting with my manger, his director and another director. Imagine their surprise when they found out I was pseudo pen testing their security systems and pointed out that the security firm the company had hired was doing a horrible job. They obviously were not impressed and told me to stop doing it.

I also read a recent version where a team were doing this on purpose to get a person's ID scanned with some kind of a NFC scanner. Of course they would get kicked out for not having an ID or an appointment, but it didn't matter. They already had gotted several different employee ID's they could duplicate and use. They even managed to get some guy pretty high up who had an encrypted RFID ID card and managed to crack the encryption which allowed them to get into all kinds of restricted areas.
I don't care. Even if I get to know for sure the culprit who sold or shared my email address, then what?

Though you're kind of right, some years have a hotter August on average than other years and I believe this one was hotter for much of America. As in noticeably hotter for many days.

I assume the government charts are aware of this, so that 1F degree higher is measured by averaging ~5 Augusts together thirty years ago and comparing them to the most recent few Augusts.

I think you lost the thread (literally the context of threads I was responding to), because much of what you’re saying aligns with my point. OP was mocking the idea that environmental factors should be taken into account and advocating a no-excuses policy of individual responsibility.

If you think I am advocating medication or implying that “people” are helpless against corporations, read again. I agree with most of what you say although I am not sure we need more research (although of course I don’t discourage it). Maybe one day we’ll prove that the government subsidizing corn so that big corporations (spun off from former tobacco companies as another comment pointed out) can super cheaply mass produce syrup which our evolutionary biology finds difficult to resist and market directly to children turns out to be bad for health outcomes and good for profits (for the medical industrial complex as well). Oh wait, we already know that.

My natural instinct to return to the "default" view (as in, how the page looked the very first time before I interacted with anything) was to click the header text at the top (that says "deal with it"). Same as you click the "Hacker News" text at the top to return to the default home page view.

Just as something to be a quick "oops, didn't want to use that image, I want to go back to how the site is when I first visited it", and essentially wipe the state.

The history stuff is secondary, since that was my second instinct after trying to find and hit a "home" button, just from my personal UX perspective.
The entire I/O streams (where std::cout comes from) feature is garbage, if this was an independent development there is no way that WG21 would have taken it, the reason it's in C++ 98 and thus still here today is that it's Bjarne's baby. The reason not to take it is that it's contradictory to the "Don't use operator overloading for unrelated operations" core idea. Bjarne will insist that "actually" these operators somehow always meant streaming I/O but his evidence is basically the same library feature he's trying to justify. No other language does this, and it's not because they can't it's because it was a bad idea when it was created, it was still a bad idea in 1998, the only difference today is that C++ has a replacement.

The modern fmt-inspired std::print and std::println etc. are much nicer, preserving all the type checking but losing terrible ideas like stored format state, and localisation by default. The biggest problem is that today C++ doesn't have a way to implement this for your own types easily, Barry illustrates a comfortable way this could work in C++ 26 via reflection which on that issue closes the gap with Rust's #[derive(Debug)].
