Data/Backend engineer for the past ten years (Java, Python, SQL). Experience building ELT pipelines and data platforms (from scratch!) for financial data, but happy to work at any level for any problem that needs solving. Remote is preferred for time zones spanning Europe to India; onsite/hybrid in Mumbai is also great. Unfortunately cannot relocate.

It is not relatively easy to switch to arenas in rust at all. It is more time consuming compared to Zig for example. There is a reason almost no one implements it in rust. Even libraries like apache arrow and related query engines don’t implement it.

I spent seven years doing maintenance programming for EXEC 8, the operating system kernel for the UNIVAC 1108. It was first demoed in 1967, and was way ahead of its time. By about 1972, it was running reasonably well. This OS had threads, symmetrical multiprocessing, and async I/O. Written entirely in assembler, it was not fun to work on. When it crashed, a dump was taken to drum, and the dump was then printed, producing a stack of paper about two inches thick, mostly just pages of octal numbers. Analysis involves pencils and colored highlighters, tracking pointers through memory.

Here's the manual.[1]

Amazingly, the descendant of EXEC 8, OS/2200, is still a maintained product, over half a century later.[2] There's even a roadmap out to 2033.

Is there a parallel universe where state actors are targetting randos with multi million dollar 0 days?
I'm surprised about what you say regarding migrations. Personally I don't know any dev that uses automatic migrations even with extremely mature ORMs like Entity Framework.

> performance is not an issue

No offense but I gotta say, those benchmarks look a bit off.

To begin with, why are you only comparing vs other ORMs instead of adding a baseline of handwritten SQL code?

Second, it's not clear how big the data set is. In the repo it seems the default size is 50 rows. Is that what you used for the results in the website?

Third, how can Drizzle take 1300ms to do such a lightweight query with a single join? Something is obviously wrong here considering Drizzle creates a single SQL query. Did you prepare the statements? Are you even using the latest version?

On top of that... it seems Prisma is taking +50ms to do a single join on two tables with 50 rows which means it would execute 20 queries per second. Not exactly performant.

This seems to suffer a bit from the same problem that affects a lot of "new" robotics frameworks: the beginnings are simple, and it's easy at that stage to think that everything else is over-complicated.

The comparison with ROS 2 is a bit questionable. Comparing a single-process-only (Copper) approach using shared memory with a multi-process system (ROS 2) using default DDS settings really isn't comparing the same thing. There are ways to make the ROS 2 system much faster if you're willing to be limited to similar constraints (single process with components, or local-system shared-memory transport) but most people don't because those constraints are very limiting in practical applications.
You can use equal temperament with any number of divisions of the octave (or other interval, e.g. Bohen-Pierce tuning's equal division of the "tritave" into 13). Some of these provide excellent approximations of common just intonation intervals, e.g. dividing the octave into 53 gives you fifths that are only 0.07 cents off the just interval, and all other intervals in standard 5-limit Western harmony within 1.5 cents of just. It's simpler to compose with than stacking frequency ratios and in practice sounds equally good.
So your arguments are:

1. Visa/MC should be allowed to overcharge and we should all accept it because Visa/MC said so in their contracts.

2. You like using credit cards, and things that you personally like should be free in 2024, and other people should pay extra to subsidize your personal preferences.

I'm not convinced. I don't think your personal preferences will be enough to reverse the trend of businesses charging fair prices for different payment methods either. But you're welcome to try.

Wow. What a blast to see this here. I paid for an expedition and went on a 3-day horse riding tour in the Bale Mountains with some rangers, looking for the Ethiopian Wolf.

That's interesting you dislike ML syntaxes when they're generally thought to be the cleanest syntaxes. What syntax families do you generally like?

Go is good for onboarding people onto a project, but not much else.

There's a reason Google is migrating Go services to Rust:

https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/31/rust_google_c/

> "When we've rewritten systems from Go into Rust, we've found that it takes about the same size team about the same amount of time to build it," said Bergstrom. "That is, there's no loss in productivity when moving from Go to Rust. And the interesting thing is we do see some benefits from it.

> "So we see reduced memory usage in the services that we've moved from Go ... and we see a decreased defect rate over time in those services that have been rewritten in Rust – so increasing correctness."

That matches my experience: Go serivces tend to be tire fires, and churn developers on and off teams pretty fast.
>And they continue to be exploited.

Poverty isn't necessarily exploitation. The situation of Bangladesh would not be improved if every wealthier nation was suddenly sucked into the sea. In fact, the situation of Bangladesh would become considerably worse.

Bangladesh has grown rapidly by selling clothing to rich countries, and through the work of NGOs. Supposing we put a forcible stop to this "exploitation" by placing sanctions on Bangladesh, so no one can trade with it, and kicking out all of the NGOs. Bangladesh becomes much poorer.

>Colonialism benefited colonial nations, because of course it did. It wouldn't have been done if it wasn't beneficial.

According to an old European history textbook I read: Once you take into account the costs of conquest, infrastructure, and administration, plus the opportunity for colonial administrators to take a cut on the sly (since the monarch was thousands of miles away), colonies weren't profitable on net. Supposedly the Brits did colonialism first, and other European countries followed in Britain's footsteps because "that's what an industrialized nation does".

Do you believe Putin's invasion of Ukraine makes economic sense? I don't think that's what motivates him.

The invention of the map might be the deadliest invention in history. To paraphrase Carl Sagan: "Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could momentarily color a small additional part of their map with their nation's color."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_empires

The top 10 per capita wealthiest countries in Europe, from Wikipedia, are: Luxembourg, Ireland, Norway, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands, San Marino, Iceland, Belgium, Austria.

The top 10 largest European colonial empires, based on my skim, belonged to: Britain, Russia, Spain, France, Portugal, Turkey, Italy, Germany, Denmark, Belgium.

Seems similar to Perl, where there are about 20 ways to do any given thing, and 15 of those are deprecated or not recommended by the community.
One big part that I'm personally excited about is support for Cloud Native Buildpacks. It's an open spec, part of the CNCF, and produces container images. You can use it to debug locally and can try it out now https://github.com/heroku/buildpacks/blob/main/docs/ruby/REA....

To go along with that we've built and maintain a Rust framework for writing CNBs https://github.com/heroku/libcnb.rs. I maintain the Ruby CNB and so I'm pretty excited to see some of my stuff in action.

> Heroku already supports building and deploying containers

Kinda. Heroku created a container ecosystem before OCI images were a thing. Apps deployed to the current Cedar infrastructure are deployed as "slugs" basically a tgz of the application directory that's loaded onto an LXC container, and unzipped to run on a base image (also called a stack) https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/slug-compiler.

One big benefit of moving towards a standards compliant future instead of homebrew, is that customers also have access to that ecosystem. That's what enables things like being able to run and debug application images locally. It's the standards and community. We went fast and blazed some trails, now we're aiming to "go far," together with the community.
As another commenter crudely pointed out with their "not my problem", your boss is supposed to make up the difference between your <$5/hr and whatever the minimum wage is in your area[1]. Therefore any tips _up to_ your minimum wage are directly subsidizing your boss, even if you end up making a higher hourly wage overall.

FWIW, I always tip 20% because that's the society I grew up in, but it always leave a bad taste in my mouth when I'm not exactly sure what I'm tipping for, my wage has been stagnant for several years and all of my own costs are going up. Ultimately it just leads to me going out less, which I think is a net negative for my local service economy. It's hard to justify $20+ for a single meal when I easily can turn that into 4-5 meals at home.

I hadn't heard about that UNIX "Princeton port" before. Thanks!

Also TIL: Eric Schmidt worked on that port apparently ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl_UTS ), in addition to or around the same time as his ?summer? internship work at Bell Labs as co-author of Lex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Schmidt). That would have been before he went to Berkeley and then joined Sun as its first software manager.

Tom Lyons's 3-part blog post on the port (which he worked on) adds nice context and some fun to read technical tidbits and commentary: https://akapugs.blog/2018/05/12/370unixpart1/

Aparently Eric didn't just work on the port, he recognized the technical pieces were in place enabling a port and organized the collaboration to carry it out. Although in a funny line in that same piece, Tom notes: "Eric, in a display of his future managerial potential, did not participate in the actual technical work, but deserves a lot of credit for working the system to make things possible."

Lot of sympathy for this view, too. Risk is long, drawn-out and often awful on board, but can be very pleasant on computer.

OTOH, creating a computer game is not a trivial task, and I don't see a good way to do it for 6 people Face-to-Face with some hidden information like a card hand. Would it be good if a complicated diplomatic game with hidden info like Republic of Rome https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1513/the-republic-of-rom... were available on computer, and everyone had their own device making it easy to see their hand / interact? Absolutely! But that's not a realistic option.

I would agree with "If your game is complicated enough that effectively no one is going to play it correctly as a board game, either simplify it so that's not the case or don't make it a board game." but think you may be underestimating serious gamers' ability to play complicated games correctly and still have fun. Agree that you really want to try to minimize tedious bookkeeping, though.

I may well be an outlier, though - I actually read the rules of Monopoly as a kid and we did auctions and mortgaging...
I actually think this is one of the few (only?) good Amazon practices.

Anyone who can't grok the doc in 30 mins is unlikely to ever open it, and if they do and spend a few hours on it, chances are they don't have much to add and it only served to educate themselves.

Instead, you give it your best shot, surrounded by others which helps to focus/eliminate distraction and then get to listen to someone with far more depth critique it - and you get to learn their framing and about a ton of nuance you would never have taken away otherwise.

> While we don't yet have a good microscopic theory of what's going on, macroscopically we know that the information (entropy) doesn't just vanish into three numbers.

What information could one possibly extract from a "packet" of Hawking radiation? If the black hole was originally formed from a huge mass consisting of 80% iron and 20% xenon, for example, could such a thing be deduced by inspecting the radiation emitted by it? I would suspect that the answer would be "no". (Of course, I am just being an arm-chair physicist here.)
