The legislation follows the general structure of the health and safety act a couple of decades ago. That also caused a big right wing press crisis, and then we all sort of moved on, did a bit more paperwork, and now fewer people die in factory accidents. It's really quite helpful to start practically implementing this stuff rather than philosophising about it.
Third Party APM Tools
Do you folks use any dedicated APM tools like Sentry, Datadog, Dynatrace, etc?

I'm wondering what value addition 3rd party tools like these provide?

I went through the demos of Sentry and Dynatrace, and its really cool to have traces, stackdumps etc well organized.

However there are few things I am worried about:
1. Number of error based pricing - may get out of hand.
2. Outbound network charges. I assume these solutions are SaaS based.
3. Other than nice organization, I expected more - like fix suggestions etc. Is that unreasonable at this time?

# My setup
I have homemade metrics and monitoring setup for my application deployed in a VM on Hostinger.

Thanks a lot.
I paid happily for monokai pro vscode since it was a one time payment. However I will not purchase a subscription for jetbrains intellij because per year it'll cost me the same amount as the intellij idea ultimate and that just doesn't seem like a fair price.

I dunno about that. Apple saw some money in privacy differentiation and now marketing suggests even people that kinda care, don't. What is the solution? Seek differentiation in AI.

It is! For the latest incarnation of my blog I forwent comments in favor of a simple mailto: link at the bottom of each post which prefills the email subject with the post's title. I've had significantly fewer interactions with readers this way, but they've also been much more meaningful and insightful. There is a performative nature to public forums of any kind--and HN is not immune to this--that stifles any genuine discussion, or drowns it in a sea of attention-seekers.

Yes, I am aware of the hypocritical irony of complaining about online comments in an online comment.

The issue is kind of on the other side, though: you can pay more to improve your cooling in a way that might be quieter or better; but, if you absolutely do not want any fan noise--nor any fragile mechanical motors to move air/water/oil/ether/whatever--you get to a point where money can't buy better cooling... you simply have to put up with less cooling, with less powerful chips that have lower thermal bounds and often simply aren't fast. Like, I don't buy a computer because it is fast, and as soon as a company starts telling me how fast their computer is I start bemoaning the lost battery life and certainty of a noisy active cooling solution that I don't want :(.

Well, for me, it's just not feasible for me to take the gambles archive.org and others do.

I didn't get the impression that the city was focused on creating housing for Toyota employees; rather, it seemed to be about understanding what will work and what won't. Toyota, like many Asian companies, has many different verticals, and I think whoever better understands the needs of the future will be able to stay relevant.

Having Toyota employees as residents just makes sense, since it will be much easier to set expectations.
C2Y, the next C revision, introduced "enable safe programming" into the C standard charter [1]. The C committee is eager for proposals like this.

Adding a new feature, like slices, as a Clang extension would be considerably faster than creating a new dialect or language, and it would be immediately usable by every C codebase building with Clang. Even if the feature is "slow" to be incorporated into the standard, it would still be accessible as a compiler extension in the interim.

Same, i always litter my texts with '--' and it's often a symptom of me not being able to structure the text properly. Chat-gpt will often nuke these and structure my text better.

I've also noticed that my ability to write properly structured and grammatically correct sentences have decreased rapidly since i began relying on LLMs for improving my writing.

So i'm actually trying to stop using it -- it's just so tempting to throw in some garbage and get a well structured text out!

I mean just see how much better it can make this comment:

Same here! I often find myself sprinkling my texts with "--," which is usually a sign that I'm struggling to structure my thoughts properly. ChatGPT often cleans these up and does a great job of organizing my text.

I've also noticed that my ability to write well-structured and grammatically correct sentences has declined significantly since I started relying on LLMs to improve my writing.

I'm actually trying to cut back on using them—but it's hard to resist the temptation to toss in a messy draft and get a neatly structured result back!

> Now, the Illinois Supreme Court found that it was a file layout (wrongly). But they didn't use any of this kind of message board logic to do it; they pulled up a definition for "file layout" from a technical dictionary (which, ironically, pretty clearly established, even more than this thread does, that schemas aren't file layouts)

"Wrongly" was exactly what I just spent an hour writing a long comment disputing, with a detailed explanation. Specifically, with a real-world analogy between “a description of the arrangement of the data in a file” and “a description of the arrangement of the clothes in your closet.”
Unlike JS, Python actually has standard library. Sync by default, optional async, rich community that is (arguably) has better quality on average, scientific and AI tooling, language itself is (arguably) nicer too with all the decorator, contextmanager stuff.

Rooftop solar now produces 11.2% of the electricity in the Australian market [1], as it's the cheapest source of electricity. That percentage is not a peak value, but averaged across the year. On some summer days, rooftop solar is effectively powering the entire grid and is having to be throttled.

That 11.2% only includes the power that enters the market. It does not include power which houses generate and consume on-site, which does not pass through the meter, so the actual percentage is higher.

> Also, the measurement problem is only a problem of the Copenhagen interpretation. It doesn't exist in the many worlds interpretation.

Doesn't many worlds require branching into numbers of branches that would in some cases be irrational numbers? And you have to have some kind of index on the branch to make some of them physically distinguishable enough to still maintain probability. If equivalent branches are in there it's hard to explain how a 75%/25% branch would be distinguishable as a probability to an observer without some kind of extra index like information that has them land in the 75% more often. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation#Pro...)

> That has nothing to do with the measurement problem.

Yup. Panopticon surveillance. It's near the end stage of technofedualism apart from replacing workers entirely with robots and AI.

At some point, the hoarding of money becomes absolutely pointless except to sustain the power and control of the many by a few evil people.

This is a tension you sometimes see discussed in the context of wrongful imprisonment, where one faction says that if you get tossed in jail for 30 years over something there was never any evidence that you did, the state should have to pay a penalty, and another faction says that if you penalize the state for randomly imprisoning innocent people, those people will never be allowed out of jail.

It's easy to demand this if you have enough resources/money to spare. Given that the wealth gap widens from year to year, this strategy does not work in the long run. People simply don't have that money to spare. The same issue already exists regarding cheap mass produced food. You only hear privileged people talking about more expensive choices, because they can. The bigger part of population buys the cheap food, because they have no other way to feed their family...
it's a problem. As soon as it became easy to ask for money via Patreon or githib sponsorship, etc... tons of people are going to try to get some for minimal effort. It's just the nature of the beast.

It's certainly reasonable to expect that there are at least some mentally ill people in any decent-sized community, but the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory[0] suggests -- and I agree -- that there are many people who just turn into complete assholes when they are anonymous or semi-anonymous, and can hide behind their computer, tens or hundreds or thousands of miles away from the people they interact with.

I don't know the demographics of your game, but this is especially true of teenagers. (But not exclusively true.)

The design of the language.

Regular Python code cannot be compiled, unless cython or mypyc code is considered "regular".
Similar with Shell indeed. From what I’ve heard, Shell electric car chargers are very unreliable. I think it’s a bit like Kodak. They know solar is going to eat (a part) of their lunch, but if they invest in solar then the oil revenue goes down even faster. So they don’t.
SPy is a cool experiment which we should applaud, though perhaps it would be helpful to compare to ShedSkin, Nuitka, or maybe Numba along with Cython if the eventual goal is compile everything to Wasm.

I'd maybe quibble with "running natively on WebAssembly with speed in the same order of magnitude as Rust" given I expect that statement would be just as true if you replaced Rust on WebAssembly with the equivalent JavaScript.

But ultimately while I understand the motivation - at the beginning of my career before I discovered Python I wanted to write command line scripts in PHP because that was what I knew! - I think it is ultimately a dead end since by breaking from the Python ecosystem you end up having to compete against JavaScript which is not really that far from Python and has an existing library ecosystem to plug into.

Woah I enjoyed the read a lot.

I also learned that in LLVM IR, they have the implicit null checks [1] to replace the guard with just a signal handler, so it won't hurt the branch predictor too much.

So I believe there are many options upon "debug" and "release" profiles for the bound and null checking here. Very good design space.

Don't think I'm understanding what you mean - composability of what exactly? It's a very Python-like language, so if-blocks behave like they do in Python/C, etc. Suppressing one's output: are you referring to invoking shell commands? Each shell invocation (at the moment) happens in its own session, independent of others, so variable assignments really only matter if you're basically embedding a shell script in RSL as e.g. a multiline string, and then invoking it. But I might be misunderstanding what you mean!
