I can certainly imagine China creating their own and making the others use it. I can also imagine Brazil trying, though I can't imagine it succeeding.

Brazil has gone through numerous currencies. They have all gone to zero due to hyperinflation. One of the top Brazil stories on HN is about the way the government conned the population into believing that this time it was going to be different. We are also about to launch our very own central bank digital currency.
I contracted on a few different projects over a few years, with React involved in all of them. Each team had their way of doing something, and goodness me... each team I joined was way different than the previous one with respect to approach, style, testing, etc. And anything I did that was "wrong" (meaning, not to their particular approach), I was ... belittled or talked down to as if I was some imbecile. In a couple cases, I used an approach with company B that they'd discarded a year before, but 6 months earlier, my work with company A's team led us down adopting that same approach, with decent results. But company B knew better, saying that approach was 'crap' (but... looking at their own internal docs, 2 years earlier, it was the hottest approach).

I was shocked at how much time some teams spent on reinventing wheels rather than using some off the shelf components. "We need everything to be done in house so we can document it and have full control". But... designing all your own widgets is going to take months. "React makes it easy though, so don't worry - we know what we're doing' Yet... they didn't - untestable components that couldn't support what the original requirements called for months earlier, etc.

You know how people crap on PHP because there's so much 'bad' PHP out there? But others say "it's just how you use it - frameworks XYZ are great!". I feel the same way about React. There's probably some great examples out there, but I somehow tend to see a lot of lesser quality stuff.

Most of the use cases I've seen up close... there wasn't any real magic or benefit to React vs something else, but everyone was jacked to get more React experience on their resume for their next gig. It didn't really matter if the resulting output was good or not, just that they used React.

I don't hate React - it's a library. I'm tired of much of the B-team players requiring it to be considered "professional" (while simultaneously) eschewing testing and documentation).

For people who have chosen it, and get to stay on the same project for several years, honing their skills on one codebase and iteratively improving, great. Enjoy.
not anymore. React, I have the impression as a long time developer, might have peaked too
> "he (was) the most technically competent CEO of the last few bad apples at Intel, but he was also among the shortest"

Is this article suggesting that Pat Gelsinger may have lost his job in part because he's shorter compared to other typical "CEO types"? Are we still subconsciously judging people based on their height in 2024? Sad if true, and if not true, then it's an odd thing for the article to point out.

(Bezos is pretty short too, isn't he?)
I wonder what a good strategy would be for a prosecutor in such a case. Can they split the trial into several? Let's say one for using a silencer on a gun in New York City. This is a felony. The murder is clearly another one. Maybe the first should be tried in a state court, while the second in federal (the perpetrator traveled across state lines to carry the hit, on a victim who was also coming from a different state, so this might be a federal case?).
Yes but you must see the slippery slope we're on and we have no antidote for.

Because if they did the 9$ ads would plummet in price paid to the platform because it implies to the advertisers the consumers have no purchasing capability and may be price sensitive or else they would shell out the extra dollar. If they don't offer it and still sell adds they can demand advertisers pay the premium as the consumer has disposable income to buy the service and is likely price insensitive since they are now paying for something that was free.
Because if the rot is this bad at the top, imagine what it's like below it.

You can thank former Seattle CM Sally Clark almost singlehandedly for the articulation bullshit. And a lot of the dumb townhouse rules that made them all identical for a decade.

And you know design review was created by an initiative on an off election? 15% of registered voters voted in favor.

I think design review could be overturned constitutionally. But few people seem to focus on that issue for long enough to learn how to organize around it.

Seriously though... IETF process is the way it is because of a long history of humans arguing with each other over process, intent and interpretation. Add to that all the drama about IP in the 90s and you get a perfect storm of bureaucracy. But the weird thing is we're probably better off with the bureaucracy than without it. I only saw a bit of the process in 2008-2010 when I convened several BOF sessions and chartered a working group, but it did seem like the rules were there to prevent shenanigans.

I learned PLENTY of history in the Application area, none of which seemed to be documented anywhere. I would guess people had different recollections of that history anyway.

IETF process is byzantine, but if you ask around, the greybeards have a story or two describing why each bit of bureaucratic process was introduced.

If someone did something shitty to contribute to someone else's misery, they shouldn't be surprised the afflicted is upset with them. Where to draw the line for what's shitty and what's an appropriate punishment is subjective, but lawful and ethical only have so much overlap. Job title is irrelevant. Employer is irrelevant.

I completely disagree with everything you're advocating for. I've worked at shitty companies and I quit because I didn't want to do shitty things. This is HN. The majority of people here are incredibly privileged and aren't forced to work an immoral job just to afford necessities. Barring extenuating circumstances - which absolutely do not apply to most people here - it is a choice.

Anyway, I don't really wanna have a back and forth with you. You come across as incredibly childish to me. I don't respect you enough to care what you think about me and I assume the feeling is mutual.

Lots of top tier scientists have been religious. Knuth is too, for instance. It strikes me as strange that believing in "simulation theory" has become cool and acceptable in tech circles, but somehow traditional popular religions are frowned upon. Feels dogmatic to believe so strongly that scientists necessarily have to be in direct contrast with religion.

ClickHouse is awesome, but there's a newer OLAP database in town: Apache Pinot, and it is significantly better: https://pinot.apache.org/

Here's why it is better:

1. User-facing analytics vs. business analytics. Pinot was designed for user-facing analytics (meaning analytics result is used by end-user (for example, "what is the expected delivery time for this restaurant?"). The demands are much higher, including latency, freshness, concurrency and uptime.

2. Better architecture. To scale out ClickHouse uses sharding. Which means if you want to add a node you have to bring down the database, re-partition the database and reload the data, then bring it back up. Expect downtime of 1 or 2 days at least. Pinot on the other hand uses segments, which is smaller (but self-contained) pieces of data, and there are lots of segments on each node. When you add a node, Pinot just moves around segments, no downtime needed. Furthermore, for high availability ClickHouse uses replicas. Each shard needs 1 or 2 replicas for HA. Pinot does not have shards vs replica nodes. Instead each segment is replicated to 2 to 3 nodes. This is better for hardware utilization.

3. Pre-aggregation. OLAP cubes became popular in the 1990s. They pre-aggregate data to make queries significantly faster, but the downside is high storage cost. ClickHouse doesn't have the equivalent of OLAP cubes at all. Pinot has something better than OLAP cubes: Star trees. Like cubes, star trees pre-aggregate data along multiple dimensions, but don't need as much storage.

Sai from ClickHouse here. Have been living and breathing past year helping customers integrating Postgres and ClickHouse together. Totally agreed with this statement - there are numerous production grade workloads solving most of their data problems using these 2 purpose-built Open Source databases.

My team at ClickHouse has been working hard to make the integration even seamless. We work on PeerDB, an open source tool enabling seamless Postgres replication to ClickHouse https://github.com/PeerDB-io/peerdb/ This integration is now also natively available in the Cloud through ClickPipes. The private preview was released just last week https://clickhouse.com/cloud/clickpipes/postgres-cdc-connect...
@nickff shouldn't that be a not-for-profit watchdog capability then? Not a massive money making middleman?

(Can't reply that deep)
Yeah I agree with you and I have been around for a while. I do feel that there is a lot of elitism from those who hate React. The same as you get in any industry.

When I was doing audio engineering professionally you would find a bunch of engineers who had the same sort of mentality about outboard equipment. Specifically modern outboard which uses switching power supplies and the like in order to reduce power consumption and, ultimately, the cost of the gear.

You can’t help but feel a lot of people feel threatened by advances in technology as their ability to gatekeep diminishes with every iteration. In the audio example you’d no longer have to spend thousands of pounds on a Neve preamp to get a professional sound. You can buy a focusrite interface for a couple hundred and have decent sounding recordings.

Likewise with React/Vercel/NextJS. With those advancements a person (I don’t say dev as the docs make it so most people can fumble their way around) can deploy a simple website in a week or less depending on their personal ability to learn. As such those who made a living overcharging to make a simple site for a local business are seeing their income diminish.

Just my theory, anyway.
As far as I can tell, those guys mostly only exist in the fever dreams of online commentators.
Tests are a type of runtime validation, they require literal execution of your code to perform the validation.

This supports static verification of queries, your code doesn't need to run to validate the type is correct.

I don't care to argue either way for tests vs static types (I write both frankly), just want the distinction to be clear.
You know flagging automatically kills (marks as dead) posts/comments here when enough are added right? Even worse. Imagine a bunch of redditors with a downvote that deletes posts and you have HN.
> Personally, I’ve heard nothing but bad things from Intel during Gelsinger’s tenure. He had some lofty ideas,

I don't know if I can say he was doing a good or bad job - it's really hard to say. But were there good things about him that people say?

He was the first CEO to say Intel was underpaying. He promised to raise pay, made a deal with the board to do so, and delivered. Most people got something like a 20% pay boost. Still not FAANG level, but compared to the prior CEOs who said "We pay fair market rates"... yeah, he won points with a lot of employees for that.

He quickly banned stock buybacks. Throughout his tenure he focused on his Foundry plans and improving engineering practices, at the cost of share value. His plan was "Let's fix our fabs and our efficiency, get back to building world class products, and the financials will take care of themselves". As opposed to all his predecessors who did stock buybacks instead of investing the money into the company.

He convinced the board to cut the dividend to a third of its value - because Intel was paying triple the dividends that its competitors paid.

No doubt many didn't like declining stocks, but no one can argue he was trying to artificially prop up the share price. His overall compensation was low.[1] He didn't earn any of his performance based stocks, and didn't try to manipulate those prices for personal gain. In the end he made a little over $10m per year - that includes the severance pay and signing bonus.

He was fairly good with transparency. He wanted the world to see the fab's financials when he knew they were poor. The point was to give the world a real number that could be used as a metric of how well Intel is doing. $8B loss this year, with the hope of breaking even in the next few years.

This last thing is what probably got him fired because the stock tanked after that (I don't know why - everyone knew it was unprofitable...).

Declining revenues are due to Intel products not competing. How much of that is Pat's fault - hard to say. Intel was making poor products for a while, and partly due to a poor fab process - which is precisely what Pat was trying to fix (5 nodes in 4 years is unprecedented, and it looks like Intel will achieve it). Lunar Lake was built on TSMC, and is a fairly decent product. Overall, the gap between AMD and Intel has shrunk.

Finally, perhaps the reason people really hated him: The layoffs. But as is often pointed out on HN, if you compare Intel's headcount with comparable companies (AMD, Nvidia), you can see Intel is really wasteful. The revenue per person is much, much lower. You can compare just the Intel Products head count (excluding the fabs). The layoffs had to happen. And there have to be more if Intel wants to be competitive. It can no longer command high margins.

So yeah, plenty hate him. But plenty do like him.

> but he clearly wasn’t executing well with Intel’s bread and butter business.

Nor were the previous two CEOs.

Not worrying about the worth of the company as much, but more to salvage the chip maker expertise that Intel still has (Intel has been in several rounds of layoffs, including 15,000 in 2024).

According to the article, splitting Intel would be good (short term) for the shareholders, bad long term, and bad for the country.

Intel is still a great asset, but it looks like it is losing its appeal as time passes. CEO of Intel is deemed to be a very challenging position. The board does not seem to know how to turn the ship around.

I could see Musk steering that ship. It is technically challenging (Musk seems to thrive in those environments), and it could even benefit the other Musk companies to some extent (XAi, Tesla and even maybe SpaceX).

Intel market cap is 94.713B (AMD is 233B, ARM Holdings is 144B... not mentioning NVIDIA), so about twice what Musk paid for Twitter. But if Musk sets his view on Intel, he would not have a hard time to finance the purchase. Actually, he could wait a bit more as the stock can fall even more (today, Intel stock is at the price of Dec. 1996).

This is armchair talking/joke, and it would be one more crazy thing on the 2024 bingo card, but from all the crazy things we have seen recently, Musk taking over Intel would look quite normal in comparison.

> Few things are as worthy of time as arguing whether feelings are right and wrong

Sorry, but no. Feelings are not right or wrong, they just exist. What we do with those feelings can be right or wrong, and I agree that if one wants to live an ethical life, one needs to evaluate whether their actions are just.

My original point stands: debating whether others feelings are right or wrong is a waste of time. Its far better to understand why, especially if you want to influence that reality.
