> 3. If the situation is so bad, why aren't companies training their staff directly, on the job?

Short-term and wrong-headed thinking. Most places seem to consider all employees basically "fully trained", and bizarrely treat on-the-job training as a favour to the employee. This is probably connected (influencing, influenced by, or both, who knows) to how tech workers have short stints at each company.
I don't think so. You can still generate a significant amount of your static HTML at build before pushing that to a CDN, and load dynamic content using JS; JAM Stack.

The Library of Babel books weren't an infinite amount, they could fill up to 400 pages or so if I remember correctly. Still, it would have been a pretty big amount of books, far more than the amount of atoms of this universe.

If we want a really infinite library, a lot of named irrational numbers could work as that, and be as efficient for searching for something meaningful inside.
The entire disappearance of semantic HTML tags has been sad to see. It's just all <divs> inside of <divs> inside of <divs> these days.
No, it also covers the data. As long as you don't delete the rollback subvolume, all the original data should still be there, uncorrupted.

Even if you disable copy-on-write, as long as the rollback subvolume is there to lay claim to the old data, it's considered immutable and any modification will still have to copy it.

I don't think this isn't what the reproducibility issue is about.

The problem is there is a broken system in place that rewards publishing in high volumes, only getting positive results, and also doing research that supports those in charge. That doesn't mean new ideas don't win out when clear evidence exists but it is the exception.

All of this leads to economic incentives to lie with the data and then you get to scientific papers that people are making decisions based off (like where to put research dollars for Alzheimers) that are fraudulent. This is not good at all.
>I think that approach has done Wayland a lot of reputational harm over the years.

Only if you consider Wayland to be a finished complete replacement for X11 — which distros have... oops! The reality is that in linux, the users act like developers (in the sense that they know how to fill out bug reports) so they get treated like developers and dogfooded.

From a business perspective, distros like Fedora are basically testing for RHL, no?
I personally stopped compiling your code in my personal repo when bcachefs was upstreamed. It often was a pain to rebase against the latest hardened code and I'm happier since it's upstream. I use your fs for 7-8 years now and I hope your latest changes to the disk format will actually improve mount performance (yes I'm one of the silent "victims" you were talking about). I hope nothing breaks...

Anyway thank you for your work and I wish you all the best on the lkml and your work.

The CDDL is more permissive, it's a weak copyleft license while the GPL is strong copyleft, and that makes the two incompatible. Calling it "excessive freeness" is inflammatory, but they're broadly correct.
Judging from the diagrams, the loop buffer is using the same storage as the micro-op queue that's there anyway. If that is accurate (and it does seem plausible), then the area cost is just some additional control logic. I suspect the most expensive part is detecting a loop in the first place, but that's probably quite small compared to the size of the queue.

Gell-Mann amnesia is when you notice that somebody who is writing about something you're an expert in has made critical mistakes, and should not be trusted, but then you go on and trust people writing about topics you don't know as much about, failing to recognize they're probably also making critical mistakes about those other topics. I'm not sure the connection here.

Regarding the comparison between science and folk explanations on the internet, I think it's reasonable to hold science to a higher standard than we hold the general population. If most published research findings are false—as this video claims—and most of what idiots on the internet say is also false, that's neither an equivalence nor a victory for science. On the contrary, it erodes the value of science, both literally and figuratively. Right now we need sources of authority.

With utmost respect, that's not what I'm saying :)

I hold no hot take position on anything web dev, or any firm declarative position.

What I'm trying to get at is, indicia of an article being half-baked includes things like asserting all that's required to agree is to care about the user.

This feels good to say, but doesn't say anything, other than there's been at least some short-circuiting of thought. We can come up with many trivial cases where "caring about users" involves requiring client-side logic during rendering.

Once interviewed at a place which made sensors that was used a lot in the oil industry. Once you put a sensor on the bottom of the ocean 100+ meters (300+ feet) down, they're not getting serviced any time soon.

They showed me the facilities, and the vast majority was taken up by testing and validation rigs. The sensors would go through many stages, taking several weeks.

The final stage had an adjacent room with a viewing window and a nice couch, so a representative for the client could watch the final tests before bringing the sensors back.

Quite the opposite to the "just publish a patch" mentality that's so prevalent these days.
I am old, so this comment is pretty hilarious. You got into computers “because that’s where the Internet was”. I got into computers two decades before that and had to create stuff myself because I could not afford everything. I had to save up for Z80 books and wait for a family road-trip to buy them. When “the Internet” came along, suddenly everything was everywhere and free. Why would anybody need to learn anymore? It was all just “one touch” away.

Except you did learn. And the “kids today”’still are. Except they are building a Proxmox homelab running Linux containers and Tailscale networking so they can host a Minecraft server. And they are using CAD to design their own custom fit ( to their finger-length ) macropad and programming the microcontroller themselves. They are running Jellyfin to stream the content their parents don’t subscribe to. They are doing video editing and 3D rendering that would have been Science fiction in the 90’s and learning about audio and video codecs to do it. They may be running Steam on Linux. They are also jail breaking their phones and overclocking their hardware. Hardware much more complex than what we grew up with.

Some of them are even learning a bit of Python or Typescript and creating virtual AI assistants from free APIs or Open Source models.

Trust me. Kids are still putting in the work. They are just putting it into different things.

> Will people keep writing these annoying posts with no insight just to complain about Exceptions (and Java in general)?

I'm sorry if the post comes off like that. This wasn't intended. Originally, I was writing a post explaining why I like using Rust as a high-level language for non-demanding tasks. I'm really excited about its error handling, so the section about error hanling got so large that I had to extract it into a separate post. And then also had to artificially limit its scope to exceptions and first-party solutions. And then hyperlinked everything to prevent bloat from inlined code examples for every single point. The post wasn't even intended to be about exceptions :)

I brought in Java specifically to cover checked exceptions and avoid responses like "all of this in solved with checked exceptions, Result is the same thing". Now, I think that the part where I define a Result in Java was a bit unfair and too-specific, because other languages with exceptions sometimes provide a standard Result type.

> the kind of annoyance I get with Result values are probably worse than is the case in Java with Exceptions

In the end, this is a subjective judgement call that everyone makes based on their own experience. My experience doesn't match yours here. But I tried my best to be objective and list these disadvantages so that readers can make their own conclusions based on the information.

> The problem with API changes in Java are real, but the same exact issue exists in Rust: you inevitably have to end up adding new error scenarios as you add features to a library. Instead of a new Exception, you just end up with a new Error variant in Result.

It exists, but Rust allows you to solve it my marking this error #[non-exhaustive] early in the evolution of the library. I don't know an equivalent in Java that simultaneously:

1. preserves concrete types

2. allows to evolve the API

3. forces the caller to handle unknown future variants.

> Anyway, even though in the beginning I also got all euphoric with Rust, thinking it fixed every issue with every language, today I think it just shifted the sorts of problems you have to deal with.

Sure. I did my best to describe this shift. And then made a subjective judgement about it. I respect yours too.
Cosmiccrisp is great. Like a honeycrisp, but with some tartness.
This. I still have nightmares sometimes.

If you don't use a framework you will probably end up building one, and it's not going to be as good as the existing options.
But anchors and hyperlinks mean I make a new HTTP request to download the full page content, and make the browser re-draw only the parts that changed[1].

On the other hand, with something like react-router you can now just download the full page content[2] but without <head> [3], and then make the browser re-draw only the parts that changed.

Only half-joking though. People can build things whatever way they like, and these frameworks can have good trade-offs. But sometimes the justifications devs give[4] just sound like they're reluctant to say "because I already know it, so I'm more efficient with it" or something like that.

[1]: "Paint holding".

[2]: Code splitting.

[3]: These savings are probably offset by the library's 19kB, anyway. Or with that small icon that was inlined as base64.

You understand this pedantry does not take anything away from the point being made, right?
This article doesn't explain why a hudson valley grown honeycrisp would taste worse now than 10 years ago? Those are still coming from the boutique farms where you can pick them off the tree.

It's not about beholding to oil interests. Does the USA wants to kill all its car manufacturers and commit industry-suicide like the EU just did?

The EU is rendering countless people jobless and handing the auto market to the chinese so they can sell their spying devices on wheels (probably also complete with kill-switches that can be activated from China if needed: say in case of a full on war).

It's just insanity. I think the EU is going to be a case study as to how quickly you can kill an entire industry by voting laws favoring a competing nation state instead of your own nation/countries.

It's not crazy to imagine that AMD internally discovered a bug that no one else hit, and decided to turn off the loop buffer out of an abundance of caution. I can't think of any other reason AMD would mess with Zen 4's frontend this far into the core's lifecycle.
<ClaudeResponse>

There probably is some nitpicking going on here. The original poster seems particularly bothered by semantics when the meaning is usually clear from context. When someone says "I built AI" in a typical business or development context, most people understand they mean they implemented or integrated AI capabilities into their project, not that they created a foundational AI model from scratch.

It's similar to how when someone says "I built an app," everyone understands they used existing frameworks, libraries and tools - they didn't create their own programming language or operating system. The focus is on what was created or achieved, not the granular technical details of how every component was sourced.

So while technical precision has its place, getting hung up on the exact phrasing of "built" versus "integrated" or "implemented" probably isn't productive for most discussions.

Probably something that is able to cut to the heart of the matter.
As someone who felt the policy reaction to COVID was poor (no balanced assessment of the cost of false positives and negatives in decision-making, poor accounting of uncertainty), I concur that he didn’t apply his usual rigor or his critiques to his own work.

> The ease of pushing updates encourages lazy coding.

Certainly in some cases, but in others, it just shifts the economics: Obviously, fault tolerance can be laborious and time consuming, and that time and labor is taken from something else. When the natures of your dev and distribution pipelines render faults less disruptive, and you have a good foundational codebase and code review process that pay attention to security and core stability, quickly creating 3 working features can be much, much more valuable than making sure 1 working feature will never ever generate a support ticket.
It's funny that the wildly overestimated IFRs like 3.4%, which were taken as gospel in the early days of the pandemic and drove the actual policy of sweeping shutdowns of schools, preventive medical care, and the economy at large -- a totally experimental and unprecedented measure with no empirical evidence whatsoever to demonstrate the benefits would outweigh the costs -- are not subjected to this same label of "hubris".

Iaonnidis's estimates of IFR in the 0.1% to 0.2% range were much closer to the mark.
You're right that there's certainly bad HTML produced by React apps out there. But there's good HTML, too!

As far as I can tell, React let's you write HTML in both the right and wrong ways, like all frameworks (including plain JS).

Maybe it seems like React is worse in terms of HTML because of how popular it is? There are more users of it, so more potential examples of bad HTML?

I wonder if your "taste" for an apple is just so completely drowned out by your experience and exposure to the apple industry. Like, if I had the opportunity to taste every apple variety all the time, maybe the Honeycrisp starts to trend towards crispy water (amusing analogy by the way).

But for the average consumer, maybe a strong tasting apple is a put off. I personally choose and eat Honeycrisp consistently every time and I'm completely 100% satisfied with every apple I've had of it. There have been some better than others, of course, but still satisfied with the quality, taste and crispness regardless.

I have no doubt that maybe Honeycrisp just has such a mass appeal that apple experts might not actually prefer its taste. Maybe I'm just a "boring" white bread kind of apple consumer. I'm fine with this, honestly, because Honeycrisps make me happy. And when they are on sale for $1 / pound, they make me even happier.

It's possibly like wine this way too, where the very best wines are those that only the experts can really taste and appreciate. For me, the differences between varieties of wine is completely lost.

> we suggest that seeking discomfort as a signal of growth can increase motivation

Can someone help me understand this please? With an example? I haven't read the paper, just the abstract. I can barely understand the abstract, I am not going to understand the paper.

Per the paper, does the "discomfort" need to be in the same arena as that of the "motivation" one wants?

E.g.: If I want to learn a new language, does the discomfort need to relate to the language, or is it enough to do something like taking cold showers?

(FWIW, I have a strong suspicion that most Psych papers, including this one, have inadequate evidence. But I still like to understand what they're claiming.)
