QUIC involves a lot more than copying packet data under a specific header so the bounds provided by memcpy() end up saying very little. E.g. QUIC mandates TLS 1.3, you'll have congestion and loss control (not every packet you send is guaranteed to make it), the tests are measuring goodput not network bandwidth, latencies for switching between/waiting for tasks to complete on a single core may be limiting.

Whether it's "considered fast" is better answered by simply comparing the practical numbers, like in that dashboard, rather than supposition. This kind of question is more aimed at trying to find out "how fast could it possibly be".
Of course, just feels like a physics engine is a few steps harder than many other dependencies.

For example, one of the bugs might be inadvertently relied on in one of the map puzzles, unbeknownst to the map creator.

Molon Labe, as it is used in popular culture today, is not being used as a stealth call to go back to the popular understanding of Spartan virtues, let alone secretly a call to go back to real Spartan organization.

It just means don't take my guns, and a vague threat of violence if you try. Nothing more.
When Valve came out with their VR headset that had base stations, everybody thought that’d be the holy grail, that you can never achieve better localization and tracking without base stations, and a base station free method can never be better than that.

Well, Meta poured a shit ton of money into making Quest base station free and they got there. We use to use valve setup for our robotics applications but we swapped it out with Quest cause honestly Quest was as good but much more easy to setup and operate.

The bitter lesson is that don’t bet against data or compute. Also, I don’t think you’d have to train a AI model for each location at every time in the future. Things get more efficient, etc.
You might thrive there.

There are definitely people that thrive in such environments (like Chris).

FWIW, it's an office workplace, not MMA, so one shouldn't need to be a "finely-tuned fighting machine" to do the job.

Perhaps one can extrapolate that the author is hinting at another dark truth -- the higher up you go in the hierarchy, the more MMA-like this will be. Therefore CEOs are, by definition, distilled psychopaths (like the Felon and the Husk in the White House right now).
Saying they are free market capitalists is misleading and historically wrong.

This complaint is also like saying communists weren’t authentic because the government withheld power from the Soviet’s and used the Soviet narrative to gain popular support.

We compare ideologies on a political spectrum. It’s harder to compare implementations because they all look like corruption. Hitler is one person in a political movement. He did write the platform I linked to though.

They did actually implement many of these things, such as universal healthcare (for their race).
We probably should have lanyard-equipped showers.
No, I disagree with you.

If you are using Go, you have no idea what the error you're going to receive is, because the code you call could be calling other code that you have no idea about. You might use existing code that gets modified to call into another module and then you're going to get a whole set of errors that you aren't expecting and won't be able to react to.

What this means is that you have NO way to handle errors except to just error out and bubble up. Because all you can do is look at the error, the best you can do is throw your hands up and say "okay just returning this error." How is this any better than an exception?
Goes for most injuries, in western medicine there has been an unfortunate tendency to fixate injuries from my experience. That just teaches the body to route around it, as it's seemingly not used anymore. Just lying still in a hospital bed for a few weeks is a terrible experience once you start moving again, been there done that.
>I know people don't like Musk, I get it. But these are delusional takes.

I am simply awe-struck at your cultish nonsense.

I am a great software developer. I am an expert at complex AI systems. That doesn't make me a truck driver. It doesn't make me a heart surgeon. It doesn't make me a forensic auditor. It doesn't make me an architect or a packaging designer or a dietician or a beautician. I'm not insane or stupid enough to think my narrow expertise means I'm an expert at all things because I am intelligent enough to understand how incredibly stupid that would be.

And yes, they have already, time and again, proven how incredibly incompetent they are. Just shocking, outrageous incompetence.

Ooops! Totally wrong part of the globe. But, you know, say something about condom bombs for the clucking masses of imbeciles.

These clowns are idiots. They know nothing about forensic auditing (Musk's "gosh a payment description line isn't filled in therefore it's untrackable" is so outlandishly stupid that only absolute imbeciles buy this nonsense), and the fact that Musk was forced on PayPal or that he spends money on rockets or cars to justify his incredible overreach is...shockingly dumb.

You had to have posted that in jest. You had to.

Forensic auditing takes lots of time and effort and tracking and error checking and assurances. When this idiot rushes in and makes immediate proclamations, instantly he is discounted as a charlatan. Amazing that this actually works on some people.

I will give it a read, thanks for the source. I'm definitely guilty of indulging in pop culture impressions of the Spartan warrior being the most disciplined and elite singular unit in history so this will be an interesting read.

Does Thermopylae count as a loss by this definition? As I'm sure it does, that doesn't dispel much of the myth of the prowess of the individual Spartan warrior, which is really what I find intriguing about the whole thing.

Hanlon’s Razor suggests no reasonable pathologist would ever label a death as caused by a PBH. It could have happened, but the effects probably looked similar enough to something more common for such deaths to be mislabeled.
Your edit shows that there is no good rule for the threshold where pain would indicate too much load vs. still being in the beneficial range. We don’t even have a good way to assess subjective pain (one’s 3 is another one’s 7, etc.). “Optimal load” is really just a tautology.

The Go version has one line of difference?

You can't compare it to your Go version because you have to write the error check at every single level, whereas once I throw that exception I can catch it wherever I want. Obviously the Go version will have much more code just around one error.
You're not making sense. If heritability means genetic determination, as you say it does, and genes are fixed at birth, then heritability can't change as you age.

I don't think that's necessarily true, but I do believe you can gain more experience early in your career at the right job, vs being in for example an established Java or .NET environment.

In my personal experience, I did a "traineeship" the one time and within a few months went from Java / web (jquery) to learning iOS native development / obj-c, scrum, working in a team, single page applications, NodeJS, etc etc etc. It was super valuable, but, granted, difficult to keep up for a long time because at one point the new experiences will dry up, unless you go job hopping.

Article I defines the powers of Congress. Having been assigned to Congress, those powers are not available to the president.

Instead, the president is responsible for faithfully executing the laws. So if the law defines how an agency is staffed and makes policy, the president is bound by that.

If this seems like an imposition upon the president, please remember that the president agrees to these impositions in advance by signing the laws.

But people here are comparing a language standard library with a framework like Spring, which doesn't make sense.

The Java standard library has a web server in it, it has JDBC. You could use those directly. That's comparable to the Go standard library. For real apps people don't do this because they want a lot more, like simplified database access or session management.

Look at this: https://pkg.go.dev/database/sql

It strongly resembles JDBC. Doing a database query with that is verbose and error prone. Compare the work needed to do a lookup query and map the results to a data structure with that to (Micronaut syntax, Spring is similar):

@JdbcRepository(dialect = Dialect.POSTGRES)
interface GophersRepository extends CrudRepository<Gopher, String> {}

... and later ...

var someGopher = gophersRepository.findById("goo");

Add the username/password/host/port to the config file and that's all you need for db access. Compare to the Go stdlib which wants you to manage drivers, connections, prepared statements, rollbacks, etc. It's a different level of abstraction.

I always wondered how it kept some value for a long time after the Hindenburg Research report[1]. To me, the report (and the CEO's empty response to it) made it clear there was pretty much no value in it, but the stock only lost 50% in the following week.

I'm really glad those of us who were around on these systems in the late 80s/early-90s are recording some of their experiences.

I find it hard to explain... but the character of the connected world was different in those days. The technical barriers were a great filter.
Apple iPhone 16e
I played a lot of Pokemon growing up, and I even played Ingress (the precursor to Pokemon Go) before Pokemon Go came around. I was excited to see a pervasive-type game getting popular and was excited to join the fun, but I tried playing for a week in the first couple of months and found it excruciatingly boring and unengaging. Swipe-tap battling felt so incredibly braindead and uninspired. No type match ups? No move selection? Just play a numbers game with all the gym leaders and swipe swipe swipe tap tap tap? Pass.

The only exciting part about the whole experience was going out to my college campus to catch something at a landmark in the evening and encountering a small group of other players.

I thought this effect would dominate too, but it turns out the paper’s assumptions is that the PBH moves at 100 km/s so we’re talking about 5 joules while it’s inside you and maybe 1000 joules total while it’s in your vicinity. Hardly blood boiling stuff.

Maybe they aren't, but they also aren't unique in this regard. Obstinate tough guy types are obstinate no matter what their job is. I have neighbors and family members who had similar issues where the doctor says something like "you can walk, but take it easy" but they misjudge what "taking it easy" really means.
That's nice that you believe that, but your belief is wrong (for sufficiently small black holes)

>That's not how threat models work, it's not 'more' risk. It's additional work.

The "most likely" part does a lot of carrying here, and you made my point. The additional work self-hosting is not trivial in this space. Assuming you can either personally dedicate a LOT of time, or personally pay staff people to keep up vs a dedicated team working on this means that the threat model is inverted now.

I self-host a number of services, I'm very pro self hosting. I'm _VERY_ aware there is always a trade off between "I want this to work", "I don't have time to fix this regularly because I have a Job and Family and hopefully other hobbies besides self-hosting a service" and "I need to constantly update and apply changes that sometimes do not gracefully fall into automation or introduce breaking changes".

Now consider that communication is one service and add on self-hosting other services, and the additional updates and knowledge to support it.

Outside of the small group of people that dedicate themselves to hosting and managing their services, which excludes most USERS (its in the name) the threat model is indeed inverted.
The ordinary old person is unlikely to be in favor of that.

And the world is getting older by the second.
I think that when you, as most HN commenters are wont to do, are trying to achieve a certain level of mastery in your craft, you're going to want to dive deep, understand the abstractions, have full control, be able to start with nothing but a UDP socket and a steady hand, but that approach misses a huge number of users of these languages. You don't want scientists to have to worry about setting up a venv, you want them to analyze their data and move on with their lives. Sure, people like you or me will be able to setup and source a venv in no time, without expending much mental energy, but we're not who this product is for. It's for the rest of the users, the 99% who aren't even aware places like this exist.

All that said, I'm pretty skeptical of using uv until their monetization strategy is clear. The current setup is making me think we're in for a Docker-like license change.
The tracking dots that printers print on their copies are printed in yellow. No wonder the yellow ink is empty.
It’s possible to get pretty close. For example, Forklift’s instructions (go to https://binarynights.com/manual, search for “Default File Viewer”) nearly replaces it, except you still have a Finder icon in the dock.
> And once you start doing it with exceptions, there’s not much difference in the code you end up writing between errors and exceptions

The difference is where you want to catch the error, and not doing a bunch of "plumbing code" for intermediate callers that don't need to know about that error.

> because the norm in Java is to silently pass up exceptions as that is the most ergonomic thing

Adding args to an exception is completely localized. Adding additional args to an error in Go could mean changing dozens of files.

Not to mention I can actually make my own exceptions for the problem. They are like enums with data.

We tend to recommend folks spend a few hours writing evals after they spend a couple weeks prototyping. Then they get a sense of how valuable evals are for their use-case.

I had a broken collar bone last year in Bucharest and I moved back to my hometown because of it. I had to check in after a week or two to see how it's healing but was lazy about it so I went to the hospital after 3 weeks and was told there's a waiting list 10 days long and go to a private clinic. At the private clinic the doctor didn't even look at me, or the x-rays I just took and just told me to go into surgery back in Bucharest. Luckily when my mother heard she found a surgeon through a friend of a friend that looked at my x-rays on whatsapp and told me it's fine but just to be sure to visit him in Bucharest feel it in person, which the private care doctor never did.

So after 4 weeks I went to this last guy in a public hospital, told me I'm fine and can take off my brace, wait a week or two and go into physical therapy. Also told me in 20 years he only had to once or twice do a collar bone surgery so it's almost never the answer.

It's amazing that just being told I'm fine I could relax and all my muscle aches literally were gone 1 hour after that meeting so my advice in general is, be very careful what doctor you choose because medical hexing really is a thing. We put doctors on this pedestal and if God forbid you catch them in a bad mood they can fuck you up worse than before you saw them.
Thank you so much for this! Never heard of it till I read your comment. Gonna watch it tonight. Bonus: Mary-Louise Parker, one of my favorite actors, stars.
"Emulator" is the wrong word, but the answer is yes. The word you actually meant was "re-implementation" - writing a completely new, clean-room program which reads Source data files (levels, assets, scripts) and allows the user to play a Source game is perfectly legal.

It is necessary to avoid distributing any copyrighted material, so the user must provide the game assets from a legitimate copy for using the program to be legal. In addition, the 'clean-room' must be maintained by ensuring that no contributors to the re-implementation have ever seen the source code for Source, or they become tainted with forbidden knowledge.

Indeed, it's quite common for beloved old games to be re-implemented on new codebases to allow easy play on modern OS's and at high resolution, etc.

We have a hard time understanding what dark matter is. There are theories that some of the dark matter could be tiny black holes left over from the big bang, called primordial black holes (PHBs).

How can we detect PHBs if they exist? If they existed in large numbers, would we notice them? The paper says that you would notice a PHB if it went through you, since you would likely die. We are not noticing people dying by mysterious gunshot-like wounds without guns in any large amounts, so there can not be that many PHBs around.

The paper is (weak) evidence against a large amount of PHBs. The paper is also slightly funny.
