I had never heard of this company so I took a look and the main pitch was compelling and then I went to the pricing page and saw the pricing goes from $0 to $500 a month once you want to go to “production”. i’m clearly not the target market, which makes sense why I’ve never heard it.

So, it's a filter on OpenStreetMap to retrieve all ways with a highway=* tag, and draw them identically?

I think a much faster and easier way to implement this would be using existing sources of vector tiles, but scaled down. You could probably even just use Mapbox GL JS, and scale the whole canvas down by a factor of 4 or something, to avoid the issue of small roads not being present at city-scale zoom levels.

The military stuff is a McGuffin-type subplot. The real plot is the main character's obsession with seeing Lillian's vision of the afterlife.

Maintaining Design Systems
Ethereum operates under a permissionless proof-of-stake model, it has not been mineable since the Merge in 2022.

There are obviously large staking pools (including decentralized pools), but there is also a substantial community of people who stake from home on a validating node of their own. A good example is the EthStaker community on Reddit [1].

The compute and bandwidth requirements are very permissible (quad-core CPU, 16-32 GB memory, 2-4 TB SSD, 20/20 Mb/s), and the theoretical size of minimum stake has gone down substantially over time due to Rocket Pool [2].

I don't know, maybe it's a bit off topic, but at least in cases that I'm imagining, I would always hire a human than fully rely on AI. Let the human consult with AI if needed, but still finalize the decision or result. The human will be thinking about the problem for months or years, even if passively during a vacation, an idea will occasionaly pop up. AI will think about its task for seconds, in case it missed some information or whatever, it will never wake up in the middle of the night thinking "s**, i forgot about X"

But Unix workstations were a thing even before then: 68k-based systems were already around in the 1980s, with Sun (taking just one example) releasing their first product in 1982:

IRIX-based systems on MIPS were big in the 1990s (post-Jurassic Park), but SGI also started with 68k-based systems.

I never believed this, even when I was compelled to do it.

What are we achieving in these plethora of small methods? There are many potential negative patterns that eventuate.

- Lifting variables into “global” (object) state. In more complex classes, it’s often hard to even identify that this has happened. Is this permanent object state, or just an internal temporary variable that made it easier to leap around methods?

- Making code harder to change as variables must be lifted into method parameters (so changing a variable, or adding a new one leads to multiple modifications). Method1 calls Method2 calls Method3 with a “dependency” that Method2 never needs.

- Poor naming leading to obtuse code. DoThingPart1, DoThingPart2

- Harder to follow code by having to jump around the file (or worse, multiple files).

There are better and worse ways to structure code to make it easier to read and reason about, however blind metric approaches are not the way.

Very weird submission, the linked post is 2 years old. Received no attention whatsoever, then the Copyright is updated to CC0 4 hours ago and suddenly gets posted to Hackernews.

Furthermore, the proposal is a bit non-sensical. It's still possible to fork Ethereum, as a staker you must choose which chain you want to stake. You cannot stake in both because you would get slashed. But if you decide that Ethereum-fork is your preferred version of Ethereum you can turn-off your Ethereum validators and only validate on Ethereum-fork. That's OK.

The market will decide which network is most valuable.

I find talking to strangers very easy: I just talk to them and usually we end up talking hours, multiple days and even become friends. Have been doing that since I was about 18 (I am in my 50s now); I ended up sleeping at/with people countless times. It seems a lot of people find this very hard to do but it works so far in all countries I have been, although warmer climates make it easier; people seem more open to it.

I must say it that it does make me very happy indeed. Much better than that online nonsense.
it's a far-fetched idea anyways. It's a five months difference; NeXT in sep '85, and pixar in feb '86.

More likely scenario is they wanted to come to market as fast as possible with limited resources, so porting Mach kernel and BSD (both proven/robust things) to their platform was probably the fastest route; It'd also have an existing base of developers to attract and carried some weight if they targeted workstation market.

edit:
this is what made me think why maybe he was influenced, since Steve Jobs did actually launch another "cube" two years before NeXTcube, which was developed in the time before him buying pixar. This thing required an SGI/Sun to be attached: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixar_Image_Computer
I've found that the simpler the system, the more likely I am to stick with it! I tried a complicated org mode setup, automated obsidian plugins, and others but what ended up being the most effective for me was just a very long bullet point list in notion! I simply added headers for each month.

They launched NeXTcube in 1988, but they incorporated in sep 1985.
Fundamentally, conda is like a linux distro (or homebrew): it is cross-language package manager designed to work with a coherent set of packages (either via the anaconda channel or conda-forge). uv is currently a different installer for PyPI, which means inheriting all the positives and negatives of it. One of the negatives is the packages are not coherent, so everything needs to be vendored in such a way as to not interfere with other packages. Unless Astral wants to pay packagers to create a parallel ecosystem, uv cannot do this.
Steve Jobs left Apple and founded NeXT in late 1985 with the intent of developing a 3M computer: 1 MB of memory, 1 million pixels and 1 million instructions per second; or powerful enough to run wet lab simulations.

Jobs bought Pixar in 1986 when they developed their own computer systems. Luxo Jr. was shown at SIGGRAPH that same year, one part advertisement for their computer, and one part fun hobby project because some of the Pixar guys aspired to one day do a fully computer animated full length feature film of their own. This worked out very very well for them. Eventually, but they also stopped developing the Pixar Computer System in 1990 in part because Jobs was losing a lot of money propping up both NeXT and Pixar.

Development of NeXTSTEP began in 1986 under Avie Tevanian based upon the Mach kernel he had co-developed at Carnegie Mellon which was developed with the intention to replace the kernel in BSD, which at this point I believe is still just BSD and years away from fragmentation. NeXTSTEP 0.8 was previewed in October 1988 and all the core pieces were there: the Mach kernel, BSD, DriverKit, AppKit, FoundationKit, Objective-C runtime, and the NeXTSTEP GUI. 1.0 came in 1989.

IRIX 3.0 was released in 1987 debuting the 4Sight window manager which isn’t too similar to what was released in NeXTSTEP but does use NeWS and IRIS GL, however it was based on System V UNIX. It’s not until Pixar started making movies, I think actually starting with Toy Story, that they bought Silicon Graphics workstations. For Toy Story, the render farm also started off using SGI but eventually moved to Sun computers.

So if anything, IRIX and NeXTSTEP are probably a decent example of convergent evolution given they were both (at least initially) in the business of making high end graphical workstations and neither needed to reinvent the wheel for their target market.

I'm somewhat skeptical about your conclusion that the TCP handshake and other possible overheads are the problem.

1) In the worst case you're transmitting one packet for each connection, this requires you to send two handshake packets. The TX time alone cannot be more than a few milliseconds per packet. Once every 5-15 minutes is negligible

2) MQTT uses TCP by default, unless you use one of its variants

3) Leaving RX on is inevitable if you want real time connection, this is likely a far larger draw than the handshake

4) You could also configure the keep alive tcp connection value on the server and reuse the same connection
At that point you end up with a makefile that has a 1:1 mapping with targets in my experience.
At a previous job, we had an enormous makefile, most of which was defining phone targets and translating make arguments into maven arguments. All the actual targets were calling maven. Make provided no value at all in that, other than requiring you to know
Make and maven to modify anything in the build.

Personally I’d rather a shell script for a command runner in most cases

It's disingenuous in that it takes a word with a common understanding ("agent") and then conveniently redefines or re-etomologizes the word in an uncommon way that leads people to implicitly believe something about the product that isn't true.

Another great example of this trick is "essential" oils. We all know what the word "essential" means, but the companies selling the stuff use the word in the most uncommon way, to indicate the "essence" of something is in the oil, and then let the human brain fill in the gap and thus believe something that isn't true. It's techinically legal, but we have to agree that's not moral or ethical, right?

Maybe I'm wildly off base here, I have admittedly been wrong about a lot in my life up to this point. I just think the backlash that crops up when people realize what's going on (for example, the airline realizing that their chat bot does not in fact operate under the same rules as a human "agent," and that it's still a technology product) should lead companies to change their messaging and marketing, and the fact that they're just doubling down on the same misleading messaging over and over makes the whole charade feel disingenuous to me.
Thanks! It was exactly this kind of explanation I needed:-)
> My knowledge of mechanics is great but solving climate change is a huge problem, both deeply technical but also social and political.

> More relevant would be a discussion about, say, memory safety, or auditing, or whatever that is actually on-topic and actionable.

It's curious that the first sentence mentions social and political issues, whereas the second sentence completely ignores them. The original comment of ChrisMarshallNY was addressing the social and political issues in tech, albeit vaguely.

You also mention valuing "iteration speed" without acknowledging the predictable devastation this has on quality.

Shipping less, and shipping slower, is on-topic and actionable.

The biggest barriers to addressing global warming are social and political. Many powerful people don't want to address it. Indeed, they've intentionally promoted the idea that the problem doesn't even exist. Purely technical discussions are futilely rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic if they ignore this.

I do think that ChrisMarshallNY misdiagnoses the problem a bit:

> I feel as if the current tech community has a baseline ethos of “write code as badly as we can get away with,” and that ethos is rewarded.

The second clause of the sentence is redundant, because the first clause is the heart of the matter. Anyone who operates purely according to financial incentives will inevitably cut corners. Crap is profitable, for various economic reasons that are beyond the scope of this comment. In order to achieve high quality consistently, you have to care about quality, about craftsmanship, independently of financial awards. This doesn't mean you don't care about financial awards, just that you have to care about both quality and money. For lack of a better term, you need business ethics, where some ethical principles are inviolable. You can seek profit without seeking profit maximization.

Note that religion is largely independent of financial considerations:

I read this book with some colleagues at a work book club, and I think it's interesting how split the opinion on the book is among readers.

My impression is that there's some good ideas in the book, but it suffers from not being thorough enough on a theoretical level. Many definitions given are NOT consistently used, the book frequently falls back on discussing things in a very OOP centric way, and a lot of stuff came across to me as just opinion pieces.

Some stuff I found was excellent, like the notion of module depth.
