Just a very small detail, but want to point out the distinction between these two comments. "Revicon" is demonstrating 10x thinking, it's not about being better at rewriting a linked list algorithm or some leetcode challenge.

Player 1 gets the same support request over and over, does nothing about it, ("hey, that's what the user entered, they should be more careful!"), complains about it online, and who knows how many hours are wasted in the back and forth with the customers.

Player 2 simply makes the necessary change on the backend, the users don't even realize they made a typo, totally seamless flow.

Hat tip to you. Hope you screenshot these two comments and bring this up in every interview to exemplify the contrast between "technically correct" and high-efficiency problem solving.
Cuz it tastes good? Because I’m addicted? Because the caffeine is great. Because I hate the taste of coffee. Because I can? I dunno.

Same experience from me. Most website will show you the result of the CV parsing and in the end I find it takes me less time to populate the different parts manually on the recruiter's website than to try to correct the mess those systems made with the risk of errors it introduces. I wish there was some kind of json/xml standard for CVs.

I am always in bizarro world when I read comments like this. I swear I perceive firefox for android to feel snappier and smoother than chrome.

To be clear, I am not trying to claim you are wrong! It is the common wisdom that chrome is faster on android. But I swear, scrolling and page loading just feels faster on firefox. My only guess is the adblocker, but I think firefox is faster than brave, so who knows.

Are you saying that it isn't true that there was not floating point support? That there actually was, but nobody used it? I don't see how that changes the thrust of the parent comment in any significant way, but I feel like I may be misunderstanding.

Hi,

I'm the author of the original piece which was originally penned to warn Quora that their social software design seemed purposely designed to drive evaporative cooling. With the benefit of 15 years of hindsight, Quora has thoroughly evaporatively cooled to an extent beyond even my imagining.
For me the major breaking change on social media is the forcing of non linear timelines. They're required to increase engagement and promoting content but thats the crux of the issue.

I liked the way early twitter worked, I have my bubble being the people I follow and I can see glimpses of the outside from the trending topics and what comes in as retweets, news, etc. Being able to see a thread without being logged in. Seeing analysis of people from the firehose showing different ways to see conversations and the bubbles.

I miss the fact that old tweets died, things had to be relevant to humans to be rekindled, meaning someone had to retweet to keep it alive instead of an algorithm deciding whats important for me based on how outrageous it is.

Bubbles are unavoidable, bubbles decided by algorithms are the worse of all alternatives.

Presumably the EU/etc. would go after them if they tried something like this? Besides desktop isn’t really as important to MS these days as it used to be.

> fostered a native GNU/Linux

Wouldn’t that require a stable ABI and such? Making Linux binary/proprietary software friendly seems like a much harder task than [potentially] fighting MS over the right to reimplement their APIs.
Correct. There are some shared components (notably Stylo, the style system), but Webrender is not one of them. Webrender is still maintained primarily by Mozilla as part of Firefox. If they have any plans to move to Vulkan/Metal/DX10/wgpu then I haven't heard of them.

It might be possible for Servo to go down the same route as Blitz and have pluggable rendering backends. If so then the wgpu-based renderering library we are using (Vello [0] - which is an exciting project in it's own right) could be an option. Servo is actively looking at potentially using this library to implement Canvas2D.

Following management instructions against your better judgement is hardly uncynical - unless it's coming from a place of such naivety that you actually think you're wrong and they're right, and I don't think it is.

My experience is the opposite of the author's: in terms of their revealed preferences, line workers care far more about the company and its customers than managers and executives do, precisely because it's far easier for the latter to fail upwards than the former.

It’s not me making this point, but nvidia’s green paper agreements with particular studios to milk you for more money for basically same graphics we had at TR:ROTT. If you’re fine with that, godspeed. But “we” are not going anywhere RT “now”. Most of Steam plays on xx60 and equivalents, which cannot reasonably run RT-only, so there’s no natural incentive to go there.
I just double checked by closing all tabs, killing the browser and then loading Hacker News. It's about 0.5s on Chrome and 1s on Firefox (roughly). That's a big difference.

Firefox is probably faster for ad-heavy sites, but it definitely isn't for sites without obtrusive ads.
Doesn't seem to work in Firefox. You get just a white view.
The number of people in this study is surprisingly large!

Alas, it doesn't have much bearing on the part of the comment I wanted to focus on 'You have to have carbs for your brain to run.' Because the diets in question here still have some carbs. (And the changes in mortality rates are fairly modest, too.)

What I wanted to say is that even if you eat no carbs at all, you brain will still get its energy. You won't just keel over after a while, like if you didn't eat anything at all henceforth.

Of course, there might be second order health effects, like the study you linked suggest.
Password, not passkey. Recovery codes should be setup on account creation, but recovery of the password manager itself is what is required, and that usually has its own recovery mechanism.

Social key recovery is an underutilized solution as well.
Replace the word “agent” with algorithm and I agree. Why overcomplicate things?
Like every other scientific discovery, weaponize it. I can imagine a few ways that one can disable advanced weaponry or cause harmful/adverse effects to weaponry, computer systems, and/or ammunition. I imagine that such a solution would cause the desired harm something without leaving a trace.

I don't see "distance" mentioned on the article, but I did see a temperature (118 K = -155 C)(which make it (currently) impossible to use outside a lab). The breakthrough is here though, and now someone must already be at work to see if this can be operated in battlefield/real-life conditions.

I remember on TBBT when they made a gyroscope-thingie-invention but it was 'THIS' big, and the army officer was pressing them to remake it 'that' small so it can be fitted on missiles (or whatever). Isn't this how it typically happens?
I'd assume that the serializer is writing directly into the output buffer, so you'd have to shift everything left by one character if you overallocate. With the added checks for this, it might be faster to compute it precisely the first time.
It sort of proves the point that certain technology choices are not the result of some monotonic "progress" towards a theoretical optimal but rather a random walk under stochastic influences in what we might call "conventions space".

Serious randomness is induced by the decisions of whatever entities happen to be influential, typically (but not exclusively) by having the most successful economic model. Causally that earnings model need not be at all related with the tech. After all, most 'big tech' is not actually selling the tech itself.

People mostly code for money so they are attracted and incentivized to use the more visible money-making conventions (be part of wining teams) irrespective of particular technical merit.

But there are additional more objective dimensions that complicate things. E.g. SPA conventions did solve a user experience problem at the time. It was not pure lemming behavior. In retrospect we know that it could have been solved otherwise but at that time we didn't.
It's not. It's becoming the standard lazy choice for devs though.
Password managers are now built into every operating system / browser, with trusted encrypted sync capabilities. The UX of using the built-in password manager is better than that of a magic link.

Hi, thanks for this cultural sharing. I don't understand something about Indian culture -probably because of prejudices- and would be glad to know more. Hindus in India venerate (or respect?) cows such a way they let them live in free roaming. Also they eat a lot of ghee and milk derivatives. Where does those milk comes from ?

A. Is it ok to eat a cow if someone else raise the cow?

B. Is it ok to eat milk raised by someone else

C. Is it ok to 'milk' a stray cows while they looks skinny?

D. How do they regards the calves needed once in a while for milk production?

E. Does Hindus only eat chicken (and so) but no milk while muslims eat everything?

F. Where goes the dead free roaming cows cadavers? Is there enough vultures?

Note I'm not trying to find logical incoherencies or logical fallacies, I'm very aware there's many think that can been seen as inconsistant or very consistent depending on your knowledge on a subject - which is never 100% reachable.
> variable renaming definitely conveys a semantic change

I didn't say it doesn't. Renaming is a change and you see it but you don't need to see it in every place that refers to that variable. For them there is simply no semantic change they still reference the same variable.

> At least to me whitespace does convey meaning

Can you give an example? If two programs behave exactly the same how whitespace convey a semantic change?

You can see order changes in a structured diff as well if you want but you don't need to hundreds of line of removal and addition like text diff. You would see only the relevant thing which is reordering.

> The issue is that spectrum auctions are probably the least efficient and equitable way of distributing allocations available. There isn't a standard unit conversion between utility in dollars and bandwidth in Hz. There are individuals with enough money that they could buy their own national spectrum allocations just for their personal use alone.

That's actually fairly efficient.

Pure bureaucratic allocation is much, much less efficient than auctions.

I agree that the auctions as implemented in practice can be improved. Eg you don't need to auction off all the spectrum nationwide. And you don't need to have so many restrictions on what people can do with the bands they won bids on. Eg we can let some hardware consortium bid on space to be used for wifi, even if it was previously allocated to TV.

As mentioned in the sibling comment, your numbers are not comparable, and anything >10% is already an absolutely unhealthy amount of sugar.

I think a good design would involve stage polymorphism, but it does need to be the kind of polymorphism that preserves the distinction rather than just smooshing stages together or having ad-hoc special cases. (I've gone through this in the past, with Java 1.2 style types vs untyped vs typed with polymorphism, or more recently with the "function colouring" debate; Rust-style linearity is heading in the same direction too).

As far as I can see from a quick skim your links are one meta level up, about using macros to implement a type system for a DSL (which may have polymorphism and the like within that DSL) rather than using them to implement typing itself. There's still a distinction between types and macros, it's just that macros are being used to process types.
