Consider nearly any professional sports team and the relative effort that athletes put in. There's very little disagreeing on objectives our outcomes (score/prevent points, win games) and incentives are directly tied to this (win more games, get more money).

And yet when you listen to what some of the highest-performing athletes say, they'll readily admit they don't go 100% effort 100% of the time. In fact, that's often a very bad thing to do because you can burn out quickly, and then the opposing team who paced themselves a little better starts running over you. However, there are spurts of intense activity where you really do go 100%, and then you quickly dial that back again to make sure you have effort reserved in the tank. Ideally you get down to 0 at the end of the game, but it's also readily acknowledged that sometimes this is out of your control, and often in quite significant ways, like the football bouncing weirdly when it popped out of someone's hands.

All of this is to say that there's a deep obsession in the corporate world around efficient teams performing labor, but when you get into organized sports where there's literal teams fighting for an objective, they don't chase "efficiency" that would amount to "time doing useful things on the field". Such a measure would be ridiculous.

That was kind of my take on the situation also. Something of unspoken class divide in America.

I've seen the same on several discussion forums, where writers talk that way, using terms and self descriptions that are like internalized societal denigration. Like they're not really part of America, because they didn't get the 4-year degree that's expected.

They get some form of implicit "you're not book smart" response, or "you're not pursuing societally 'correct' behavior", and that turns into a class divide. Often it seems to arise like resentment or hate for not choosing whatever it was you're "supposed" to do to be socially acceptable.

Coding on a laptop, even a name-drop-tier status shibboleth, is most of your problem. You write code on a 15" screen when you must for physical/location reasons. You shouldn't ever choose to do it or design your workflow around that constraint.

A 42" 4k TV (got it for $2-300 at the start of the pandemic) gives me four 80-90 column text windows on a mid-tier chromebook. You could not pay me enough to do that same work on a laptop, even a $4k MBP.

(But yes, even with lots of real estate 80 columns is still a net win)

The bespoke capability model in Java has always been so fiddly it has made me question the concept of capability models. There’s was for a long time a constant stream of new privilege escalations mostly caused by new functions being added that didn’t necessarily break the model themselves, but they returned objects that contained references to objects that contained references to data that the code shouldn’t have been able to see. Nobody to my recollection ever made an obvious back door but nonobvious ones were fairly common.

I don’t know where things are today because I don’t use Java anymore, but if you want to give some code access to a single file then you’re in good hands. If you want to keep them from exfiltrating data you might find yourself in an Eternal Vigilance situation, in which case you’ll have to keep on top of security fixes.

We did a whole RBAC system as a thin layer on top of JAAS. Once I figured out a better way to organize the config it wasn’t half bad. I still got too many questions about it, which is usually a sign of ergonomic problems that people aren’t knowledgeable enough to call you out on. But it was a shorter conversation with fewer frowns than the PoC my coworker left for me to productize.

Minimizing human value leads to greater dividends to the only parties that ultimately matter - execs and shareholders.

The case, Dodge v. Ford Motor Company, was about minority shareholders' ability to challenge the authority of the board of directors to make business decisions that were alleged to be serving interests other than maximizing the value of plaintiffs' shares.
I have to confess: it miffs me that a utility that would normally fly completely under the radar is likely to make the creator thousands of dollars just because he runs a popular podcast. (Am I jealous? Oh yes. But only because I tried to sell similar apps in the past and could barely get any downloads no matter how much I marketed them. Selling software without an existing network seems nigh-on impossible these days.)

xxHash (or xxh3 which I believe is even faster) is massively faster than SHA256 at the cost of security, which is unnecessary here.

Of course, engineering being what it is, it's possible that only one of these has hardware support and thus might end up actually being faster in realtime.

Exactly! Instead of relying on historical data, ueCalc focuses on what your team can execute today. You define how you acquire leads, convert customers, and retain them. The model then projects realistic growth based on unit economics and the Theory of Constraints. This makes it especially useful for early-stage startups testing their go-to-market strategy.
"USAid money is spent supporting independent journalism" is an oxymoron. When a state sponsors something journalistic, it's called propaganda... not independent. Not saying they are not heroic doing this work, this money shouldn't come from US. If they can't keep the effort alive organically, they should get help from donations. These US congressmen for God sake need to keep their hands in their own wallets, not taxpayers.

Not sure what's your point on the Politico article. It is tragic that disrupt a lot of people's lives. Like I said, it doesn't mean there's no corruption, only good is happening. Both things can be true at the same time. This thing can be tragic, Congress might get their shit together - hopefully.

So this is a hotly debated subject and I 100% understand why and even agree with many people on this. I do firmly believe that Electro is indeed "hyperfast" even with WebView2 and that's down to the fact that there is absolutely zero bloat shipped with the tool & every addition is carefully considered for its potential performance impact before it's added.

I had a meeting today with 6 other software engineers who are interested in the project & have experience in computer graphics (a topic I will admit is not my strongest) and we all unanimously agreed to gradually shift Electro away from WebView2 and towards a custom-built 2D renderer for truly native "hyperfast" performance :)

As mentioned in another reply on this thread, I'm not here to fool anyone - this is version ~4.0 of Electro and the first version I feel is feature rich enough to ship publicly. The other 3 versions of experimentation (over the last year and a half) included Rust, C++ & OpenGL, Electron, and Tauri all of which had significant pitfalls.

The final decision was to "just ship it" and see how the community reacts. I've seen (as I anticipated) a huge number of people suggesting we move away from Tauri and that's exactly what we will do.

Open sourcing this project was keeping me up at night because deep inside I knew that it would need another version. That being said, I'm so glad I did it or else there would not be any pressure to actually do it and it probably would have ended up just like all my other dozens of projects that are just sat in private repos collecting dust. At least now with this version people can A) Enjoy using a new tool w/ unique features (built-in terminal, performance focus) and B) Even contribute if they feel like doing so.

I'm very excited to see where this goes but the compass is very clearly pointing towards ultra low-level rendering techniques and I honestly can't wait to set sail!!

PGVector will be good enough for most users

Agree, this seems likely.

Benchmarks/data volumes aside, PGVector (or similar extensions to more general purpose data stores) is a much more palatable way for an organization to explore adding vector search functionality/features to their product(s) than adding new technology to their stack.
> Singularity is not possible at 0G, isn't?

One divided by zero is a singularity. Singularity, mathematically speaking, means your math breaks. Calculus gets around this problem with limits. But there is absolutely nothing about physics that prohibits singularities, even gravitational singularities, in a zero G space because by definition a gravitational singularity per se has an undefined G.
Software is unusual in that it's never finished. This makes ease of modification a critical quality of software in a way that it isn't for Formula 1 race car engines or most buildings.

Ease of modification was one of the top priorities in the design of the Model T Ford, because cars break down and must be repaired, and a car that is difficult or impossible to repair will cost its owner large sums of money. Software doesn't break down (though online services do) but for other reasons modification is a high priority.

Perhaps short-lived buildings don't need to be easy to modify, especially if the architects have a very good understanding of the needs of the users over their lifetimes. Often that is not the case, though, and Christopher Alexander was famous in large part because much of his career was devoted to figuring out how to enable inhabitants of buildings to modify them more easily, so that their needs would eventually be met even if the architects guessed wrong decades in the past. Centuries-old stone farmhouses exist, too, and ease of modification is crucial for them; if they cannot be modified they cease to function in only a century or two at most.

Whatever the goal of your software, it is crucial for the people who are modifying it over time to achieve that goal to be able to understand it.

But that's it. I don't think slash and burn is related to debt, least not directly. That was my whole point. It's revanchist escalatory politics on both sides. When more than a few democrats acknowledge the debt and talk about cutting, and when more than a few republicans talk about increasing taxes, we can make progress. Until then we'll get more partisanship and sctivism, which means more games with the budget and thus more volatility and inefficiency in Washington, to the detriment of all federal workers, but to citizens also. The parties and powers that be are the winners. Everyone else loses. Moderate politics and less change is better for most people on average, certainly better for institutional stability, which is the core issue with DOGE's chainsaw approach to belt tightening.

Black holes are a prediction of general relativity. The same theory predicts that all properties of spacetime exist up until the singularity. You cannot simultaneously believe in black holes and some sort of discontinuation of spacetime before the singularity.
Tools that are too efficient in improving efficiency make it very easy to bring about inhumane environments. I have found this to be a pretty generally applicable line of reasoning.
Calling setsid in pre_exec isn't exactly correct, you'd do this to daemonize a process in order to prevent it from getting signals from the process which spawned you exited or its terminal disconnected.

If you read exit(3) you'll see that you also need a controlling terminal for the kernel to send SIGHUP to the processes in your foreground process group.

In python it'd look roughly like:

master, slave = os.openpty()

# ensure we can call setsid successfully

try:

pid = os.fork()

if pid > 0:

os.close(master)

os.close(slave)

sys.exit(0)

finally:

sys.exit(1)

os.setsid()
# we are now session leader and process group leader

fcntl.ioctl(master, termios.TIOCSCTTY, 0)
# we now have a controlling pty - closing master will send us a SIGHUP

os.close(slave)

# go start spawning subprocesses - if _this_ process is killed, they will receive SIGHUPs. Unless they take themselves out of your session or the foreground process group.

Health effects of particulates are approximately linear. So the more particulates the more mortality. There's no threshold below which people are healthy and above which they're sick.

It's actually slightly sub-linear, meaning that an increase for one group and an equal decrease for another group produces slightly less total mortality. See https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9109601/#gh2329-bib... for some numerically fitted curves (search for GEMM).

I know some people working in low-cost sweatshops, where human labour is cheaper than automation, everyone is told they can be replaced within days, and the few machines you may find are usually older than the employees (or better yet, contractors) operating them.

Every sweatshop like that has high turnover rates, and micromanaging bosses that... let's say make sure these rates don't fall.

If these bosses are the target audience, then I guess the ad is well made? Identify bad employees faster so you can hire better ones quicker, yada yada. I can imagine how this promise can make someone want to buy the software, so fair play for the ad creators, I guess?

I really hope this project fails though.

I remember it being pretty decent back in the day. I can't remember any takes that were too hot in it. Honestly, I can only remember a general sense of satisfaction(?) with the book. If you were to ask me what exactly I took from Code Complete and applied in my job today, I couldn't tell you.
