41,795,902 | comment | Ballas | 2024-10-10T05:43:11 | null | I have been passively looking at doing something like you are suggesting, but then also turning it into more of a video camera. My main motivation is that it seems pretty much impossible to get a off the shelf sensor that has DPAF.<p>One big hurdle getting the datasheet for the sensors - they are usually quite quirky and even if you get the datasheet and all documentation you will still need support from the manufacturer to get everything working reliably. | null | null | 41,794,895 | 41,760,076 | null | null | null | null |

41,795,904 | comment | scott_w | 2024-10-10T05:43:23 | null | I strongly disagree with this because it infantilises your PM to a ridiculous level.<p>You absolutely <i>should</i> explain (at a high level) what the constraints of your work are. If the PM doesn’t care, that’s a failing on their part. It’s their job to understand what’s possible within given timeframes and it’s your job as an engineer to explain that.<p>If a feature requires major architectural work to achieve, then make clear what that is in terms they can understand. “We need to migrate 30m records affecting 20,000 customers to this new system with 0 downtime” is understandable to most people in tech. It can also help focus minds on what we could change to make progress on or just validate a goal before fully committing.<p>For context, no plumber I know would talk shit about “platinum packages,” they’d just explain what the cause is and what’s making the correct fix so expensive. | null | null | 41,794,566 | 41,794,566 | null | null | null | null |

41,795,931 | comment | forgotoldacc | 2024-10-10T05:49:32 | null | But who's the customer?<p>Google is an ad business. It sells human eyes and ears to businesses. They own a massive chunk of the ad business and everything they make benefits ads. People who are buying ads (businesses) might benefit with more competition, because as it stands, we have dumb stuff like lawyers in Missouri buying ads and people in Bangladesh clicking them. Google gains money even though that ad was completely ineffective to the customer.<p>Plus google's goal is to funnel everything into ads. Search sucks ass. It's all astroturfed or straight up fake content these days. Users are getting scammed clicking on these links. Small businesses are getting strangled out because they can't pay protection fees that the megacorps that aren't flooded out by AI generated and SEO-optimized slop can. We all suffer because of that.<p>Google has a stranglehold on email. Try sending a non-gmail message to a gmail account as a normie and you're probably going straight to the spam bucket. How much has it costed people who had their messages lost because they won't hand all their data over to Google?<p>Technically, competition "exists", but it's strangled out to the point of basically not existing. Other companies can offer all these services if they grow big. The problem is there's no other company that can compete with google in the US. And whenever a new company comes along that can shake up the game, Google/Apple/Microsoft buy them out and shut them down, unless they're part of the club already (e.g. OpenAI) | null | null | 41,795,869 | 41,784,287 | null | [

41,795,944 | comment | cheema33 | 2024-10-10T05:52:25 | null | I have a different take on this. I think local-first is the future. This is where the apps runs mostly within user's browser with little to no help from the server. Apps like Figma, Linear and Superhuman use this model very successfully. And to some degree Stackblitz does as well.<p>If somewhat complex apps like Figma can run almost entirely within user's browser, then I think vast majority of the apps out there can. Server side mostly is there to sync data between different instances of the app if the user uses it from different locations.<p>The tooling for this is in the works, but is not yet mature. e.g Electric-SQL. Once these libraries are mature, I think this space will take off.<p>Serverless is mostly there to make money for Amazon and Azures of the world and will eventually go the way of the CGI.<p>WASM could succeed as well. But mostly in user's browser. Microsoft uses it today for C#/Blazor. But it isn't the correct approach as dotnet in browser will likely never be as fast as Javascript in the browser. | null | null | 41,795,561 | 41,795,561 | null | [

When engineering and product collide, engineering triangle forms and compromise has to be made. The classic triangle is defined as quality -- speed -- cost, however that is more applicable externally. Internally the compromise triangle looks more like "fixing bugs -- delivering features -- maintaining future level of bugs". The more the triangle is stretched towards "delivering features" the more maintenance suffers.<p>I have seen this coming from engineering far to often. Oh no, product are idiots, they do not understand importance of bug fixing, cleaning of technical debt and maintaining architecture. Believe me, they are roughly as smart as you, you are in the same broad team anyway. Where product fail is at estimation. They lack domain expertise to correctly gauge the impact of rushing a feature on future velocity. They probably understand this relationship, but they cannot quantify the effects. This is where engineering comes: to provide domain expertise.<p>As TFA correctly implies, product does not give a shit about architectural decisions. For all they care it can be held by either literal or metaphorical duck tape. It's the job of engineering to <i>quantify</i> the cost of rushed features. If engineering thinks that product are idiots for rushing n features, then either 1) engineering fails at understanding business goals or 2) engineering fails to convey impact of rushed features.<p>Both are <i>communication</i> problems. Interestingly, the onus is on management to sort internal communication out. | null | null | 41,795,688 | 41,794,566 | null | [

41,795,950 | comment | wakawaka28 | 2024-10-10T05:53:55 | null | The effect I just described is just one factor affecting the freedom of a group. Sometimes you do need to have a larger entity around beyond your local government for various reasons. I would think that the potential for the worst tyranny is smaller in geographically smaller countries or units, because people can leave. For example, people who don't like a city or county can leave it. Provinces and states are also possible to leave behind if you can't stand the laws. Countries are trickier to leave because of international relations, but it is still possible. I also expect small countries are easier to leave than big ones. It's not ideal to have to move, but at least you <i>can</i> move away from localized issues. Some localized issues may also be avoided by seeking input from only the people who will be affected. All in all, I think it is easier to find consensus among smaller groups, and the larger a group gets the harder it is to make rules or policies that everyone is happy with. | null | null | 41,795,698 | 41,792,780 | null | null | null | null |

41,795,968 | comment | TekMol | 2024-10-10T05:58:11 | null | I don't see WASM as a significant step forward. In fact, I question its purpose altogether.<p>Before WASM you could already compile code from other languages into JavaScript. And have the same benefits as you have with WASM.<p>The only benefit WASM brings is a bit faster execution time. Like twice the speed. Which most applications don't need. And which plain JavaScript offers about two years later because computers become faster.<p>And you pay dearly for being these two years ahead in terms of execution time. WASM is much more cumbersome to handle than plain JS when it comes to deployment, execution and debugging.<p>In IT we see it over and over again that saving developer time is more important than saving CPU cycles. So I think chosing WASM over plain JS is a net negative. | null | null | 41,795,561 | 41,795,561 | null | [

don't use global variables that you mutate, prefer structs with methods.
Add a main context with signal.NotifyContext to globally handle sigkill/sigterm and have a gracefull shutdown. Also use DialContext when available instead of Dial.
You could use errGroup to handle multiple goroutines that return errors (rather than iterating on a channel).<p>Otherwise it looks good, great job ! | null | null | 41,785,511 | 41,785,511 | null | [

Is John Smith a terrorist (for our definition of terrorist)? And the AI would reply: Yes he it, he searched on Google where to buy these ingredients that can be used to make explosives. So then they go and figure out some way to "legally" arrest the guy and obtain more private info. It looks like the guy was buying the stuff because he's got a plot of land to fertilise and an old car to paint. So they ask the AI again. You said John Smith is a terrorist! And the AI would answer. I'm really sorry, I'm doing my best and I'll endeavour to do better in future.

A similar concept to a Snapshot of a virtual machine. You can then start as many copies of the paused module as you like. (As I tell friends, it's like saving your game in an emulator.)<p>> The snapshotted module has no extra startup time ...<p>> If we go back to thinking about our Application Server models; this allows us to have a fresh process but without paying the startup costs of a new process. Essentially giving us CGI without the downsides of CGI. Or in more recent terms, serverless without cold starts. This is how Wasm is the new CGI. | null | null | 41,795,927 | 41,795,561 | null | [

How messed up would it be for a state ravaged by a hurricane, tsunami, earthquake, or whatever to have its influence diminished because people were unable to vote? It is already bad enough that the votes could be skewed based on specific counties. But imagine the whole state losing its actual representation because of power outages and stuff.

I have started looking again into solutions only last week [1]. My suspicion was always the database pool size was too small but, when I tried to contribute 4+ years ago, fine tuning was hard because it took too long, so I didn't pursue it further [2].<p>My discontent with the benchmarks is that they are not measuring what people effectively run in production. Since you mentioned Rails, here is how a Rails application looks like:<p><a href="https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/master/frameworks/Ruby/rails/config/application.rb#L33-L53">https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/mast...</a><p>But almost nobody runs a Rails application like that in production.<p>And then you look at the configuration of most stacks and they have been explicitly fine tuned to match exactly the concurrency traffic and patterns that the benchmark sends through. But, for most web applications, your web traffic is not homogeneous and you don't have a predetermined number of concurrent requests.<p>I still believe those benchmarks are not indicative of what you will actually see in production. Most companies who have gone from Rails to Phoenix, for example, report a 10-20x reduction in operation size and costs. But it is clear at this point people put way too much stock on these benchmarks. The irony of it all is that, if someone copies these setups into their actual applications, they will most likely perform worse. Oh well.<p>[1]: <a href="https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/pull/9302">https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/pull/9302</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/pull/5432">https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/pull/5432</a> - here you can see me increasing the database pool to 40... but most benchmarks today run with 512-1024 connections (which, once again, is most likely not what you would do in prod). In any case, we need to bump our numbers accordingly. | null | null | 41,795,414 | 41,792,304 | null | [

41,795,991 | comment | brailsafe | 2024-10-10T06:02:41 | null | I've always thought of this as the discovery of an aspect of talent, that people who'd be described as talented simply discovered by chance earlier, and isn't mutually exclusive with the act of learning it deliberately.<p>As in, if you have some innate predisposition towards creative thought, it'll be a Schrödinger's cat until you find some way to explore it. Someone with innately great coordination and the right build might have a higher rate of success in learning to climb or play billiards, but if they've never tried to get good at either, then until that time comes they're evidently not good or bad at either. Likewise someone who is a virtuoso violinist may or may not also succeed at swimming because some aspect of how they got good at violin carries over, but if they have no interest or exposure they'd never discover that or care if they did.<p>For example, I know a pro _____ who also happens to be incredibly good at aiming a frisbee. He almost certainly practiced it—since he got a dog—but his disposition was toward coordination and aim oriented things, which likely helped reduce the amount of practice needed to reach a higher ceiling than someone who's deeply clumsy might. Incidentally, he's also very good at illustration, which again he practiced before it became a medium of expression, and maybe shared an aspect of relentless determination and creativity that also came through in his sport of choice. | null | null | 41,795,651 | 41,756,978 | null | [

41,795,996 | comment | diffeomorphism | 2024-10-10T06:04:13 | null | (c) some companies get away with it because they have a fan base who will lease it anyway. Most companies don't.<p>People always jump to 0% vs 100%. That almost never happens but rather you get some percentage and that is often enough for a law to be considered successful. | null | null | 41,795,822 | 41,795,075 | null | null | null | null |
