Last time i tried to install ocaml on windows few months ago i failed to do so, it's a well known thing that it is not 100% supported on windows therefore it wont have the adoption that go/rust has (as it's been the case forever now)

It feels like fly is trying to repeat a growth model that worked 20 years ago: throw interesting toys at engineers, then wait for engineers to recommend their services as they move on in their careers.

Part of that playbook is the old Move Fast & Break Things. That can still be the right call for young projects, but it has two big problems:

1) AWS successfully moved themselves into the position of "safe" hosting choice, so it's much rarer for engineers to have influence on something that's seen by money men as a humdrum, solved problem;

2) engineers are not the internal influencers they used to be, being laid off left and right the last few years, and without time for hobby projects.

(maybe also 3) it's much harder to build a useful free tier on a hosting service, which used to be a necessary marketing expense to reach those engineers).

So idk, I feel like the bar is just higher for hosting stability than it used to be, and novelty is a much harder sell, even here. Or rather: if you're going to brag about reinventing so many wheels, they need to not to come off the cart as often.
The pattern didn't work on me, but maybe because I only watched a couple of cycles on my phone.

Has anyone had the experience where if you try to watch an anthill (or just many ants in one place), your vision gets out of focus after a couple of seconds? And you can't just re-focus, even after turning away from the ants. It takes a while until you are able to focus again.

It's very relaxing. I'm wondering if this is the same effect they are after with the animation.
Is that directed at Chevy or Tesla?

Either way, it's true for both.
I don't think there's much to be afraid of, for one simple if nonobvious reason: Russia has already won. There's no point in fighting a war if you can turn the enemy into a satellite without firing a single shot.

They did so by deploying an incredible hybrid and cyber warfare machine, outsmarting what little defenses the West put up. They turned our democracies against us, weaponizing hundreds of millions of simpletons. In the 90s we dreamt that the Internet would galvanize democracy. It became an amazing weapon of subversion instead.

Russia leveraged kooky franchisees on the extremes of the political spectrum. Aware that they did not belong in politics otherwise, they were all too happy to cooperate.

In 2000 Trump sought the nomination of the Reform party and lost [1]. He was unable to leverage his money and Russian support into securing a primary win of a 2% party. Fifteen years and billions of rubles later, the Russian hype machine had been fully built out. He was guided to the 2016 Republican nomination with the precision of a hypersonic missile.

A similar story played itself out in virtually all other Western countries. Beware of the usual exceptionalist apologies - Trump, Orban, Le Pen, Farage are all cookie-cutter stories.

This is one of those measures that hyperinflation countries have to adopt for sanity, re-numbering the money.

The surprising case that worked is the Brazilian "Real": by renaming the currency as well as switching it to semi-controlled exchange rates, inflation was drastically reduced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plano_Real

> Combined with all previous currency changes in the country's history, this reform made the new real equal to 2.75 × 1018 (2.75 quintillion) of Brazil's original réis.

Because a startup scene needs a fucking scene. Having exactly one darling company in each sector is recipe for the classic yet seemingly every time unavoidable "too precious to fail" failure mode.

It's the same thing that always happens in Europe when we're trying to mimic something from the other side of the pond, we do it too late, too small, too fancy.

Here's a nice, detailed, insightful essay (?) on the Canadian tech scene, but of course blindly replacing Toronto with Berlin (or at least the CN tower with the Fernsehturm) and the results are the same.

"wants to", meaning they haven't
Well, the post title implies people using Go are delusional, so that's expected. Starting a conversation by calling someone stupid isn't likely to end up productive.
You can find information, that's true. But for an ordinary citizen, this is usually where it ends. All kinds of feelings such as "being afraid of world conflict", is your interpretation of the found information, either because you've reached this conclusion yourself, or because you live in an echo chamber where this conclusion is the accepted one (see: Russia being anti-west).

While I don't discourage people to seek information, and reach conclusions, in today's world, unless you are directly involved in the conflict/decision-making, the chance for you to get accurate information is an extremely hard task. News either take things out of context, or simply lack professionalism due to poor journalism, lack of time and or desire to perform thorough deep dives, etc. Social media is filled with fake information, both as a tool in the information war, as well as by "influencers" who keep reposting everything that brings them views.

And in the end, the saying "history is written by the victors", was, is, and forever will be - true.

Count yourself fortunate. Your country probably avoided the much more dangerous first wave that I assume was intentionally spread by China as part of their strategy to reduce the economic impact of the epidemic.

As an unfortunate anecdote that formed this rather bold and controversial opinion , I had the misfortune of being of a plane literally full of wuhan residents flying to the USA (strangely via the Dominican Republic) in December.

I was curious and asked my seat mate what was the big event, and he explained to me that (some organ of government that I didn’t understand) had created an incentive for companies in Wuhan to send people to conferences in the USA that included paid travel and accommodations, and made the companies that participated eligible for some other program that I also did not understand (my new friends English was not great and at the time I was only mildly curious).

At any rate, according to my companion there was social media buzz among the travelers complaining about weird routing of their flights through other countries and long layovers, speculation that it was an example of government cost aversion or something.

I didn’t think much of it at the time.

Within days of landing, I had the worst “flu” of my life with the signature COVID symptoms. A few days later the epidemic started to hit the news in earnest, and people around me started dying. The early versions of COVID were much more aggressive.

Should be fun to watch Chinese social media agents vote this down into invisibility lol. But I saw what I saw, I’m not going to pretend I didn’t.
I doubt you can "really understand" what's going on without you being directly involved in said conflict, either as a tool for executing a particular agenda, or as a decision maker.
Tech outstripped big finance corps tech a while ago.

In your specific context, the following doesn't directly apply, but the statement that driving is a privilege is frequently made here, often as a whole truth and not merely legal truism. It is a prevarication at best, to argue this beyond a purely legal premise, however.

To think that the entire nation would immediately collapse irreparably if this trivial "privilege" were removed, kinda suggests a problem with this factoid as a general view.

I am aware that for some individuals driving is entirely unnecessary. Some individuals don't have homes. I hope that for however anti-automobile one might rightfully be, the reality of this is still clear.
Man. Johnny Mnemonic. I get the urge to rewatch that movie once every three of for years, and I'm reminded of it's awful greatness. Like Hackers.

Need more William Gibson movies. I'm incredibly disappointed that The Peripheral was cancelled.
The "new" language you're describing sounds like Swift.
We also used to not have have LLMs, bipedal and quadrupedal robots, ubiquitous GPS maps, cell phones, miniature cameras of insane quality, ridiculously fast mobile internet connections, residential fiber and many other useful things.

Many smart people make things happen all the time. Regardless of whether there's some singular rich grifter in that specific that can latch onto them soon enough to claim credit or not.
WinUI3 itself feels kind of abandoned. Heck, everything except desktop OS (which changes we neither need nor want) and cloud (where everyone has gone) feels a bit neglected.

C#/dotnet continues nicely, but the team is surprisingly small if you look closely.
Read the notes in the link you posted. I don’t think it says what you think it says.

In May 2020, the definition of M1 (monetary supply in “cash”) was changed to include savings deposits. They changed this not due to some conspiracy, but because savings accounts were deregulated to remove withdrawal limits, effectively rendering them cash-equivalent, and thus necessary to include in M1 metrics.

I.e. the 80% spike has nothing to do with money being printed.
I alerted at the description of the poor pillaging the expedition resorted to - just some blankets looted from pueblos.

Those blankets today would be worth more than the gold they had hoped to find.

You know what?

Most of you don't even know a single Uigur in your whole life, everything you learnt about Xinjiang/Uigur is from western media(ofc, wikipedia, The "Free" Encyclopedia, and from some random "Xinjiang experts" who funded by some Hawkish think tanks which backed by the US gov.

But I do know many westerners like you in HN, Twitter, etc. And, since I have the more reliable information and experience, just like the one you replied, I know you more than you know Xinjiang/Uigurs, so, my oponion about you is way more reliable than your oponions about Xinjiang/Uigurs.
I can easily judge you are ignorant due to credulousness and misinformation.

Now, do you understand why there's "laugh"?
They/We are not laughing at "this", we are laughing at people like you.

TBH, I do enjoy browsing China-related comments in HN, it's like watching a comedy, you guys may never get this, untill you take a flight to China/Xinjiang, if you did, you'd find the funny part
By a thousand cuts.
Exactly! This one gets it, real communism has never been tried! On another note I do not think that it is tiresome at all, that any critique of any pattern/teqnique in SWE, always is meet with the "you are holding it wrong" rebutle.
So we can now implement S3-as-RAM for a worldwide million-core linux VM?
Ignorance. Ignorance always finds a way. Also, HN is rife with political trolls from China, Russia, the USA, and other countries that fund state-sponsored social media programs.
I started graying in my mid twenties, I am in my late thirties now and my hair is a little over half gray at this point. I would frankly like to do something about it, my wife has been insistent that I don't because she likes it.

The possibility of it being some sort of vitamin deficiency that this raises has me feeling like I should at least get my levels tested. I can't imagine that it is a B12 deficiency however due to how much canned fish I consume. It's become my go to easy lunch since the beginning of COVID.

Rate of progress for FSD has been very impressive lately. I personally think that its very plausible that Tesla might beat Waymo to large scale location independent autonomous driving.
Cwp: Indentation-Based Syntax for Clojure
That part is for some and eventually all of the EU: since 2018 member states can allow B licenses to drive EVs (or hydrogen) up to 4250kg, and parliament passed that as law back in February 2024. So the states which didn’t already add this allowance will have to in the future.

The C1 and C1E license were modified similarly, although they trigger after 3 years.
> "sorry son, this code doesn't verify. Try again next time!"

But that's not how it works; rather it tells you about the specific issue with a particular step in the proof, which you then debug, as you would with code that isn't compiling (or not passing some static analysis test).
Are people really still mad about this?? In my country we switched to LED lights like… 10 years ago, maybe more? It’s not a big deal, we had light, we still have light. I don’t see what makes it "awful, ugly, unpleasant", is it really that bad? That just sounds like a gross overreaction to me but maybe I’m missing something?
I’m successfully using Go and agree with the author at the same time. For me it’s not a choice between Go and Rust- Rust is not as productive for high level code because every API maximizes performance.

Since this article was written Go introduced generics which does solve some of the complaints. The rest I mostly solve with linters, libraries, and conventions.

Go has a syntax that is well designed (arguably one of the best) if you’re aiming for familiarity with C style syntax in an imperative language. Other than that it’s a poorly designed language with by far the best engineering work having gone into things that aren’t actually the language per say (cross compilation, asynchronous runtime, GC, module system, super fast builds, etc). They wrote an ACM Queue article essentially stating that: https://cacm.acm.org/research/the-go-programming-language-an...
GP said "recall → not street legal"; you've replied to disagree with "recall ↔ not street legal".
price control would be if they forbid some goods to be paid beyond certain price where the goal is to regulate the distribution of those goods. Currency supply control is a general policy targeted at the total of goods one can pay for in order to maintain the overall economic activity. This is the difference between heating certain rooms in the house and causing global warming.

Put tools into the hands of your customers! They'd often rather figure out their problem without a call if they possibly can.

Back in the day at a company called Convergent, some 80% of our trouble calls were printer-related. One of the young support guys, Tom Ball if I remember right, wrote a prolog script that evaluated rules on the print configurations state and emitted conclusions about what your print setup was gonna do. Released it to all the printer customers.

Printer-related support calls dropped to a fraction. Even just with that early primitive 'AI'
I read the article and had the same response as GP. I don't know on what basis the author believes you can "flip it", but it seems at odds with the idea that at some point your day is "poisoned" and the rest must be written off, presumably until you can reset it by sleeping.
How is Go an iteration of C? You can't use Go to write a kernel, or program a microcontroller, or for high-frequency trading or a web browser or a tensor library or a language run-time. It's either a bad idea or simply impossible, depending.

Someone please explain to me what's C-like about Go other than vaguely the syntax and that it compiles to machine code.
Sure, you can't understand everything, but it's not like you can't understand anything.

It's much higher cost. Currently drivers own the cars and therefore taxi companies get that capital for free. Self-driving taxi companies will have huge capital costs because they'll have to buy (or lease) the cars.
I didn't realize Jedis was an official Redis client now, looks like it has been since 2020 without any major impact to the development.

I guess they are unlikely to add any features to support alternative servers.
All true, but lets be honest: For the technical users searching a library, nothing beats having The Keyword being part of the name.
I'm in the same boat where 6pm comes and I actually have a hard time shifting gears from writing code or thinking intensely about my project. I've been working on my focus and starting earlier in the day. The difference is when I get on track earlier I still chug along until the end of the day. Then by night I'm exhausted and go to bed early.

Work/life balance is important so I should probably listen to my body and focus when it wants to.
Most of audio and music AI have wrong incentives and are moving in a different direction professionals need. Almost all publicized innovations in the sphere are complex one-stop-shop solutions which aim to completely replace as many members of the creative process as possible.

It's a corporate dream: a thing that spews barely-passable, generic mush that's totally aligned with demands of the decision makers, but has zero opinion, zero ambition, zero professional pride and no need to uphold its ethical and aesthetic standards and its own reputation whatsoever.

Instead of tools for the creatives we have systems that generate complete tracks from tinder chat logs. On the other hand, there's still no publicly available audio style transfer with even remotely usable quality (that thing from Google is abysmal).

All I want for starters is something that turns a slightly distorted, over-reverberated and not-perfectly intonated flute recording that a client sends me into a clean workable track. I don't even ask for it to turn it into koto or marimba or whatever you think is a cool demonstration case!

Sorry for the rant, but it's all very frustrating and alarming.
I find almost all popular music that's made in the past 20+ years quite terrible. This is not worse. For people who enjoy this chewing gum stuff, which seems most of the population of earth, this is fine. And as such, this will be all popular music in the future; upload your voice, pick a style, generate 13 songs, go on tour to make money.
I misread it the same way.

If ISPs are responsible for piracy though, they could be for privacy as well!

I think simplistic terms like "morning person" and "night owl" are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought-terminating_cliché applied to identity. Much like "introvert" and "extrovert".
Could someone explain what this is since that expression is unsearchable?
This was the argument that convinced me.
Yup, technologically illiterate and developer hostile behaviour like that is your canary in the coalmine going belly up. If you stick around after that, you have only yourself to blame for what follows.
Hm. But that envelope would have to be kept secure. And the means of unsecuring it (the safe combination etc) made plain in the will. Not sure how that helps. Physical security of the envelope? Who needs the will, then.
A mobile browser turning plaintext URLs, phone numbers, addresses, place names, etc. into clickable links seems mostly fine to me. I'd consider it an ad if Osaka Castle were paying Google to appear as a link on mentions of castles - which, while I wouldn't trust Google to never do that, I don't think is what's happening currently.
Perhaps nsdr (popularized by Huberman).
There are things I like from Suno, but, having used it to make quite a lot, I also get vibes of something subtly wrong that I can't put my finger on, which I assume is somewhere between the audio version of bad kerning and Cronenberg fingers. Too many examples of vocoder/autotune in the training set, perhaps?

That said, I mostly prefer AI over "real" human-made recordings (pop, classical, metal, bardcore, whatever) because I tend to learn the patterns too fast to enjoy, or really even tolerate, any recording more than about 3 times* — I assume I'd like live jazz for longer, but have only been to one place that ever had it so I don't know if it breaks that pattern.

* sole exception: TV theme tunes, though the point of them isn't to listen to them
> How significant that portion is may be lower than you think.

And it’s probably higher than you think.

> References into the stack make user-mode threads less flexible. For example, Go takes a significant hit for Go-native interop in goroutines, whereas Java doesn't pay that cost.

This has nothing to do with on-stack structure, it has to do with Go not using C-compatible stacks. If this was an actual issue C would take a hit when calling C.

> Why do you, as a user, care if the GC is more complex?

GC complexity impacts its cost and performances. Generational GCs have more overhead than non-generational ones. That cost needs to be reclaimed by avoiding full collections or the generational GC is a net loss.

And that is what the go team observed on many workloads when they experimented with making Go’s GC generational.
Nah. Cats are cool. S/he has a smart cool look. Most people would like it. (Not everyone.)

Disclainmer: I prefer dogs, they are more friendly and even part of the family, but I have to recognize that cats look more cool.
