Maybe they are referring to the fact that the Mexica came from elsewhere and founded the city and there were already other people/cities in the area. It seems the Valley of Mexico has been inhabited since around 12,000BC, so not surprising there isn't history of the first people there.

Wow, how did they pick which games to optimize?

Does the studio pay them to do it? Because Nvidia wouldn't care otherwise?

Does Nvidia do it unasked, for competitive reasons? To maximize how much faster their GPU's perform than competitors' on the same games? And therefore decide purely by game popularity?

Or is it some kinda of alliance thing between Nvidia and studios, in exchange for something like the studios optimizing for Nvidia in the first place, to further benefit Nvidia's competitive lead?
I think that the author of this blog post doesn't understand what a development environment is! Which isn't a surprise to me considering that fly.io is such a crap service, I'm not shocked they have employees that don't understand development practices.

Remote development environments with this sort of setup are sometimes needed for applications that can't effectively run on your local workstation, or where the server environment is very different than the workstation, or where you want to ensure better consistency than a local workstation can offer.

The operating system controls the security boundaries fully. Your ops team or person who built the remote OS can limit the permissions of your remote connection's user however they'd like. It's like the author of this article forgot how Linux works: you can restrict users from running certain commands or accessing unauthorized directories with trivial ease.

And when it comes to security risks, this is supposed to be a development environment. It's not meant to be used in a produciton system accessed outside the boundaries of your organization.
I'd argue that one of the things we saw with Rust's Editions is that it significantly increases appetite for such language improvements.

There's a recent Reddit discussion which had zero pushback against changes but instead people who were disappointed that 2024 Edition won't land all the things they'd hoped for such as the improved Range types†

Without the Edition system we know from C++ that when you say "Why can't we have X?" the defenders appear to tell you that all choices except the status quo are impossible. They will do this regardless of how difficult such a change would be, and so this immediately deflates all interest in incremental improvement. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But with Editions there's a lot of things we definitely can do. Once you open the door to that, it really drives enthusiasm and that enthusiasm can power some of the difficult changes you wouldn't even have considered in the C++ process.

† In Rust syntax like 1..=4 is compiled into the core type core::ops::RangeInclusive<i32> so this is a very natural way to express what you meant, and yet it's not a goofy special case it's just a normal literal like "Word" [an &'static str] or '€' [a char] or 1.2345 [a floating point defaulting to f64] -- however, we now realise these range types made some poor choices and if you made them today you'd make them implement Copy and IntoIterator, whereas the existing types implement Iterator and so in many cases cannot implement Copy. Ergonomically a Copy type would be much nicer here. Can we fix that? Well, the idea is, we make the new types (they exist in nightly Rust in the new core::range namespace but aren't stabilized) and then once we're sure they're exactly what we want we make a new Edition which changes the syntax transformation so that that literal is a core::range::RangeInclusive<i32> instead.
Sewage was taken out of the city by boat via the system of chinampas, i.e. canals cutting through the man-made patches of reclaimed land within the lake.

Here's a good one: https://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2015/02/01/what-color-is-...

The problem is futures (async/await) as a concept; JavaScript, Rust, etc all have the same problems.

Take CSP by contrast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicating_sequential_proce...

Any Go function can take a channel, return a channel, or use a channel (and spawn goroutines) internally, unbeknownst to the caller/callee. It may lead to some bad design decisions (code that must not be async may never be), but it won't get in your way when you least need a refactor.

It kinda does when you’re wondering what’s going on in backstage and working with shaders on multiple OS, drivers and hardware.

Now, the way to optimize it properly to have no conditionals, is you have to take a continuous

I suspect that we shaders authors really like Clean Math and that’s also why we like to think such “optimizations” with the step function is a nice modification :-)
I can see the first post on Twitter, but nothing else. Also in the EU. It seems to be fairly random, really. Probably best to go with a fully working social network where available for this sort of post.
I think it does because a researcher can pick up context about the quality of their sources through the course of web research. The BigCo chatbot AIs are marketed to represent that BigCo, and people generally trust Google, in this case. It's good when they cite sources, but a major point of the chatbot is to abstract that legwork for most people.
I don't know -- if that other commenter is correct, it does sound pretty crazy.

Improving your compiler for everybody's code is one thing.

But saying, if the shader that comes in is exactly this code from this specific game, then use this specific precompiled binary, or even just apply these specific hand-tuned optimizations that aren't normally applied, that does seem pretty crazy to me.

But I don't know which it is?

... but I'm aware that it's simply not realistic. These are raw thoughts not "working policy" . My problem is that old software is just barely functional (huurah, we achieved the barely standing equivalency from civil engineering) and we are not spending enough resources on that, nor on security.

And probably my Linux honeymoon period ended after ~10-20 years of work (and/or personal) use, and I feel every point of Marcan's letter, even though I never did kernel development, only the usual troubleshooting and trying to figure out which bug/patch/feature has what status.

But, of course, as long as this blessed circus continues to deliver every ~3 months a new version with this velocity it'll keep going. And Linus is right, if we don't like it maybe (:p) it's on us to accept that. And also maybe Drew's humble suggestion will be the prescient one.

If Moose is better I expect people to fairly consider it, and when the consensus forms that yes it's at least as good as C then I want the C people to realize their own responsibility in maintaining critical infrastructure, and I want them to at least have a plan on how to improve, because even in civil engineering the baseline for "barely" has increased a lot over the past decades. (And of course in many cases arguably society has overshoot that, for example with the 2-stairs requirements and so on, where these concerns drastically disincentivize evolution of population centers and transportation networks.)

I'm not sure Starliner can't be salvaged. A good analysis of its problems would go a long way towards a weighted, reasoned decision. That is, the technical architecture, the design and implementation decisions should be available to reviewers, and as a result they would know if it's easier to start building a spacecraft from scratch - or better to fix some specific problems with existing system which at least managed to bring people to ISS and return itself back to Earth.

Who will do the review? Maybe it's Boeing, as part of the project analysis in the wake of events. Maybe it's another company which would buy the branch the Boeing would like to sell. Maybe it's even external government agency - NASA - or company - Blue Origin? - who'd have expertise and enough impartiality in the results.

Hi, and thanks for the feedback! One of my top priorities right now is learning as much as possible about online book club experiences from others, so I really appreciate you sharing the blog post!

Interesting to hear. Personally, finding a book was usually the easiest part (probably because we have dozens waiting on our 'to-read' lists). I’ll do my best to make the book recommendation experience as smooth as possible.

Who paid for the infra, and how old is it? If it was inherited from a prior larger utility, this is the sort of thing you can get away with, for a while, until it needs serious maintenance. But ultimately spreading the true lifetime cost of electrical infrastructure over that sort of population density without subsidy is going to lead to absurdly high prices.
Tbf, RocketMortgage makes Quicken; Intuit makes QuickBooks. Still, I hate the latter with a burning passion, so I’ll indulge that.

What kills me about Intuit is that they _can_ make decent software: TurboTax. Obviously, I’d rather the IRS be like revenue departments in other countries, and just inform me what my taxes were at EOY, but since we live in lobbyist hell, at least Intuit isn’t making the average American deal with QuickBooks-level quality.

It’s not like the non-SaaS version of QB is any better, either. I briefly had a side business doing in-person tech support, and once had a job to build a small Windows server for a business that wanted to host QB internally for use. Due to budget constraints, this wound up being the hellscape that is “your domain controller is also your file server, application server…” Unbeknownst to me at the time, there is/was a long-standing bug with QB where it tries to open ports for its database that are typically reserved by Windows Server’s DNS service, and if it fails to get them, it just refuses to launch, with unhelpful error logs. Even once you’ve overcome that bizarre problem, getting the service to reliably function in multi-user mode is a shitshow.

> I mean seriously, have none of you 20-somethings never used a true native (non-Electron) application before?

Judging on the average web dev’s understanding of acceptable latency, no. It’s always amusing to me to watch when web devs and game devs argue here. “250 msec? That’s 15 screen redraws! What are you doing?!” Or in my personal hell, RDBMS. “The DB is slow!” “The DB executed your query in < 1 msec. Your application spent the other 1999 msec waiting on some other service you’ve somehow wrapped into a transaction.”

I wrote a post below about how AI hallucinated a whole regulation that didn’t exist which has been flagged for some reason.

I have colleagues who have had arguments with clients who have asked AI questions about planning law and been given bullshit which they then insist is true and they can’t understand why thier architects won’t submit the appeal that they’re asking for.

I think we’re in an era where any text, true or not, is so easy to generate and disseminate that the status of the written word is reduced to the standard of the gossip that used to be our main source of information before the printing press was invented. Now half the internet is AI generated bullshit as well.
I don't think either of us needs to convince the other of anything, I'm mostly outlining this here so that maybe someone is actually inspired to think critically about some of these things, especially the workforce bits and the cost of dependencies.

> Outside of really edge case stuff like real time low level systems software optimizing performance is not that hard and I've worked with many engineers over my long career that can do it. They just rarely have the incentive. In a few particular areas where it's critical and users are willing to pay software can still command a premium price. Ableton Live is a good example.

This seems like a generous take to me, but I suppose it's usually better for the soul to assume the best when it comes to people. Companies with explicit performance requirements will of course self-select for people capable of actually considering performance (or die), but I don't take that to mean that the rest of the software development workforce is actually able to, because I've seen so, so many examples of the exact opposite.
Actually I would have argued that any human being with an ounce of common sense would find it obvious that gouda does not account for 50% to 60% of global cheese consumption. Like, you don't need an industry report to know for sure that is patently untrue.

But apparently this did not smell off to any of the many, many people who worked on the ad. That is the most baffling part to me. Are these people so bought into the hype of the product they're promoting that they just switch their brains off?
IIRC, Australia has actual licensing to call yourself a "software engineer." I assume you'd need actual laws passed to regulate the industry.

> So, the number of SOs you end up with depends on how picky your installed software is, and how reasonable the maintainers of the libraries they use are.

And that is the hard problem, because it’s people problem, not technical one, and it’s platform independent. When some Java app was requiring a specific build of JRE, it wasn’t limitation or requirement of the platform, but rather the choice of developers based on their expectations and level of trust. Windows still dominates desktop space and it’s not uncommon for C++ programs to install or require a specific version of runtime, so you eventually have lots of them installed.
It reeks of the same stench as cancel culture. Once some people have seen a connection to something they dont like, they just cant bring themselves to enjoy that thing anymore. I guess those sorts of people like to fixate on what they hate.
Are you on a team with strong personalities that actually lead? If so, then that manager is probably a bug in their ear about what the business wants. I love and hate managing those types of team because it is literally like herding cats. When they are going in the right direction, it is a blast. When they disagree with you, it can be painful. Especially if you have no real teeth to provide negative feedback.

Leading a team when everyone is just "there for a paycheck" is much easier, but not as much fun. You basically just need to make sure all the tickets are lined up and everyone is working on the right things.
> The problem is that “your boss” usually has to conform to the budget set by their manager working alongside HR.

Very true! Though isn’t it also normal in that case for HR to be recommending inflation raises at least? The exception might be if you came in at a salary that’s higher than your peer group and/or high for the title range. Parent’s problem could be that - either peer group correction or not possible for manager to raise at all without a promotion by company rules. There’s lots of reasons I can imagine, but in any case I wouldn’t expect a change with status quo, right? If you haven’t been talking to your boss, continuing to not talk to your boss is unlikely to change anything.

AFAIK NVIDIA and AMD do this unasked for popular game releases because it gives them a competitive advantage if 'popular game X' runs better on NVIDIA than AMD (and vice versa). If you're an AAA studio you typically also have a 'technical liason' at the GPU vendors though.
