41,796,000 | comment | jamil7 | 2024-10-10T06:05:21 | null | I work on an iOS app like this right now, it predates a lot of these newer prebuilt solutions. There are some really nice features of working and building features this way, when it works well you can ignore networking code entirely. There are some tradeoffs though and a big one has been debugging and monitoring as well as migrations. There is also some level of end user education because the apps don’t always work the way they’re expecting. The industry the app serves is one in which people are working in the field, doing data entry on a tablet or phone with patchy connections. | null | null | 41,795,944 | 41,795,561 | null | null | null | null |

41,796,008 | comment | Gentil | 2024-10-10T06:06:55 | null | I don't think people outside India understand what Tata means. Who Ratan Tata was. He was not some random rich person who did some philanthropy. ~66% of everything that Tata companies make goes back to philanthropy and the people of India. And these days to people where Tata companies operates (I presume). To the TATAs, people are of primary importance. They are a behemoth of a group comparable to Samsung or other big companies/conglomorates.<p>They don't deceive, they don't put money over people. Because their mission IS to the people. You can buy a Tata product with a level of trust that no other brand can provide. Seeing TATA along with a product is more than enough. They are the best definition of capitalism I have ever come across.<p>This is why you don't see Ratan Tatas in billionaire's list or rich people's list.<p>Everything India is because of the Tatas. They single handledly is responsible for building India's foundations. Whether it is in Health, Nuclear, Tech or anywhere. You will see Tata's presence everywhere.<p>I genuinely shed a tear today morning because of his passing. And I am not sure I would do the same for any other business man.<p>Today is indeed a sad day.

41,796,014 | comment | csomar | 2024-10-10T06:07:28 | null | I was going to write a rebuttal but then I read your comment and it mirrored roughly what I was going to write.<p>> - Rust inserts Copy, Drop, Deref for you: it would be really annoying to write Rust if you had to call `.copy()` on every bool/int/char. A language like this exists, I'm sure, but this hasn't stopped Rust from taking off<p>One improvement here could be the IDE. I don't want to write `let s: String` every time but the IDE (neovim LSP) does show it. It'd be good if I can get the full signature too.<p>> Async is problematic<p>Async Rust is by far the best Async out there. Now when I use other languages I am essentially wondering what the hell is going on there. Is there an executor? Is there a separate thread for this? How/When is this getting executed? Async Rust doesn't execute anything and as a result you can get an idea of how the flow of your program goes (as well as pick an executor of your choice, might not seem important if you are on the Tokio bandwagon but if you are in an envrionment where you need a custom executor and you need to control CPU threads, Rust Async suddenly makes a lot of sense) | null | null | 41,792,644 | 41,791,773 | null | null | null | null |
41,796,015 | comment | devjab | 2024-10-10T06:07:38 | null | I disagree with this take. It’s software engineerings job to figure out, how, to do it, not if it should be done. A plumber isn’t going to refuse adding another bathroom to your house, they’re going to tell you how it can be done and tell you the cost and consequences of each option and then let you decide.<p>A good mantra in anything related to any sort of business is that anything can be done, it’s just a matter of cost. Of course it’s on the business to accept that, and if they can’t, well then you can’t deliver what they want. Which is probably what you meant, but it’s only at that point you should say no. | null | null | 41,795,925 | 41,794,566 | null | [

I'd much rather write the things I need to go fast in a language that's good at that (I use C for this). I'm currently working on a toolpath optimizer and I'm compiling just the optimizer function to WASM, it's a couple kilobytes and will probably be an order of magnitude faster than the JS implementation while being FAR LESS cumbersome to write. My JS doesn't change at all because i can just call the "native function" from JS, replacing my original JS impl. | null | null | 41,795,968 | 41,795,561 | null | [

And that’s how most time and effort is allocated in our tech labor market economy. It’s by working backwards from “I want to still have a job in tech next year.”<p>The number of people who are calculating which language to write in by thinking “how can I write a fault-tolerant distributed system with less time and energy so that I can quickly release performant products” is minuscule. The lack of popularity of Elixir is evidence of this I think.<p>In regards to your point on ZIRP: billions of dollars have been poured in to LLMs that are biased toward legacy languages like Python and JavaScript. Even the file structure of these languages is conducive to LLMs. A HTTP server can be and is frequently defined in a single file or function, where everything from socket creation to connection handling to request parsing to database queries to response can be composed in literally a few lines of code. This immense expressiveness is a testament to the power of HTTP. But as I’m sure we’re all aware there are limits to what can be accomplished with a single machine serving these stateless requests, and the limit can be reached very quickly. But LLMs gravitate towards producing these haiku-like incantations, it’s trivial for them.<p>Elixir’s power comes from having a well-defined API and explicit failure modes for each of these layers, each in their own expressive modules. This makes it difficult for LLMs to write Phoenix code when they’ve been optimized to output a 3-line FastAPI decorator-definition-query endpoint. Each of these layers in Phoenix is by itself quite simple, each layer has about 2-4 required functions to be implemented, and Phoenix can generate all of these for you. But ChatGPT doesn’t seem to be able to grok it all at once the way a good engineer can after readings the docs for an afternoon.<p>Will Elixir survive an era of programming where RTFM is a lost art? I suppose we will find out soon enough! | null | null | 41,792,304 | 41,792,304 | null | null | null | null |

41,796,042 | comment | SkiFire13 | 2024-10-10T06:13:16 | null | The replacement for those technologies is arguably javascript. WASM is more focused on performance by providing less abstractions and an instruction set closer to assembly (hence the name).<p>The issue with those older technologies was that the runtime itself was a third-party external plugin you had to trust, and they often had various security issues. WASM however is an open standard, so browser manifacturers can directly implement it in browser engines without trusting other third-parties. It is also much more restricted in scope (less abstractions mean less work to optimize them!) which helps reducing the attack surface. | null | null | 41,795,946 | 41,795,561 | null | [

His leadership was particularly notable during the massive telecom rollout in the country.<p>He oversaw the largest wholly owned and most advanced subsea fiber network, responsible for carrying around 30% of the world’s internet routes (source: Brave.com’s Llama, via Tata). While the "30% of the world’s internet routes" signifies a burden on BGP for other operators, it also highlights the distributed control of global networks.<p>As an investor, he was the first Indian to acquire a stake in Xiaomi, among many other startup investments. Some Xiaomi executives even noted that they sought Ratan Tata’s advice on global expansion.<p>As a philanthropist, his contributions are even more impactful. He has supported the hacker community, donated to US college campuses in tech, biotech, and genetics, and funded scholarships to foster talented, driven individuals who come to learn in the US. | null | null | 41,795,863 | 41,795,218 | null | [

41,796,051 | comment | kragen | 2024-10-10T06:14:53 | null | You're saying that freebase cocaine isn't "cocaine, the drug", but chlorides and sulfates are? It may be relevant to this discussion that salts dissociate in solution, but maybe it won't convince you because it sounds like you're steering painfully close to "the sun goes around the earth because people say 'the sun rises', and therefore it doesn't make sense to talk about sunrise on Mars."<p>That is, it sounds like you're trying to bend over backwards to invent a coherent meaning to impose on the utterances of people who are just confused and ignorant, with the result that your own utterances are losing meaning. The reason people say things like "crack isn't cocaine, the drug" and "coca leaves don't contain cocaine" isn't that their utterances refer to some coherent entity called "cocaine, the drug", which consists of some arbitrary collection of cocaine salts but excludes the hydroxide. They're just wrong, because being wrong is a thing that people do a lot, especially when they're talking about things they don't know about, like chemistry. | null | null | 41,796,006 | 41,787,798 | null | [

Just keep drawing things and remember that drawing is as much about being able to see things as they present themselves as it is about being able to draw lines where you want to draw it.<p>You have a model of all things you want to draw in your head, e.g. you know how many fingers are one one hand, how the thumb goes into another direction — these models can distract you from drawing what is really seen from a certain perspective.<p>So my advice is to just draw regularily. Don't hessitate to do things in isolation, e.g. as a designer I had to draw straight lines for half a year. That is boring as fuck, but afterwards you have much more control. | null | null | 41,756,978 | 41,756,978 | null | null | null | null |

41,796,070 | comment | curtisblaine | 2024-10-10T06:17:40 | null | That's intentional: they need you and your data tied to the server to make money. But there's no reason why it couldn't be local first (except the business model), since the bulk of execution is local.<p>Incidentally, I think that's why local-first didn't take off yet: it's difficult to monetize and it's almost impossible to monetize to the extent of server-based or server-less. If your application code is completely local, software producers are back to copy-protection schemes. If your data is completely local, you can migrate it to another app easily, which is good for the user but bad for the companies. It would be great to have more smaller companies embracing local-first instead of tech behemoths monopolizing resources, but I don't see an easy transition to that state of things. | null | null | 41,796,021 | 41,795,561 | null | [

41,796,072 | comment | iforgotpassword | 2024-10-10T06:17:40 | null | That's a bit oversimplified. I had this thought too and tried to figure out why this is different, and I think there are some major points. The biggest one is in which order they were built and designed. If we take Java and ask why applets didn't take off since they could do everything WASM offers and more, two things come to mind: it was <i>fucking slow</i> on contemporary machines, and the gui framework sucked. WASM is the complete opposite. The gui framework is HTML/CSS, which despite its idiocy in many places had a long time to mature and we've generally came to accept the way it works. Now we just tacked a powerful VM onto it so we don't need to target slow Javascript. There isn't even a new language to learn, just compile whatever you want to WASM, which means you can use a familiar and mature dev environment.<p>The other point is that WASM is way more open than any of the mentioned predecessors were. They were mostly proprietary crap by vendors who didn't give a shit (flash: security, Microsoft: other platforms) so inevitably someone else would throw their weight around (Apple) to kill them, and with good reason. WASM is part of the browser, so as a vendor you're actually in control regarding security and other things, and are not at the mercy of some lazy entity who doesn't give a damn because they think their product is irreplaceable. | null | null | 41,795,945 | 41,795,561 | null | [

41,796,080 | comment | ipnon | 2024-10-10T06:18:35 | null | I have this same feeling using Elixir, and I think it’s because it’s excellent at showing you exactly where you have undefined behavior in your application, much in the same way you spend most of your time writing Rust by wrangling with the compiler that keeps showing you all the holes in your logic. You can write a seemingly equivalent program in Python, and it runs just fine because it’s interpreted, so it seems like you hit the bullseye first try. But as we’re all aware, there are still countless bugs in your system, they just don’t surface until later when it’s Friday night and your website finally went viral. It’s the downside of the “fail fast, fail often” OTP paradigm: you develop the program by working through your faulty logic step by step as determined by the (many) errors raised by the BEAM. The upside being that unlike Python none of these errors are usually strong enough to be fatal to your application. | null | null | 41,795,875 | 41,792,304 | null | [

If you want a web app that needs this code, you'll develop it many times faster by compiling the pre-existing code to WASM than by manually rewriting them in JS, and the experience will be significantly better than compiling that code to JS. | null | null | 41,795,968 | 41,795,561 | null | [

41,796,091 | comment | Pamar | 2024-10-10T06:20:16 | null | I mention it in passing in the first page: I have always liked to express myself visually, so for example in a meeting at work I tend to move to the nearest whiteboard.<p>[15 years ago I started practicing Shodo (Japanese Calligraphy) which was already a step in the same direction.]<p>But apart from the little drawing I did at school (as a child) I never really took any class, not even a video class on Internet.<p>As I explain in the first page, I just decided to try drawing from random photos setting a timer. Then two things happened:<p>1) I found out I liked it a lot, even if the first results were nothing to write home about.<p>2) COVID (9 months later).<p>Also, as a person I tend to stick to hobbies so if I decide to start something new I try to sort out how much time I can devote to this new activity considering everything else I have already on my plate. If it sticks, it tends to go on forever (e.g.: Aikido - 35 years and counting, Shodo 15 and counting, TTRPG... 40 and counting, IT/Tech, 45 and counting...). | null | null | 41,796,007 | 41,756,978 | null | null | null | null |

No one talks about it because you can't scale to a trillion add impressions a second on it. Serverless functions add 10 feet to Bazoz's yacht every time someone writes one. | null | null | 41,795,944 | 41,795,561 | null | null | null | null |

41,796,097 | comment | Laremere | 2024-10-10T06:22:15 | null | Wasm has a great benefits over those technologies:<p>- Wasm has verification specification that wasm bytecode must comply to. This verified subset makes security exploits seen in those older technologies outright impossible. Attacks based around misbehaving hardware like heartbleed or rowhammer might still be possible, but you, eg, can't reference memory outside of your wasm's memory by tricking the VM to interpret a number you have as a pointer to memory that doesn't belong to you.<p>- Wasm bytecode is trivial (as it gets) to turn into machine code. So implementations can be smaller and faster than using a VM.<p>- Wasm isn't owned by a specific company, and has an open and well written specification anyone can use.<p>- It has been adopted as a web standard, so no browser extensions are required.<p>As for computation on clients versus serves, that's already true for Javascript. More true in fact, since wasm code can be efficient in ways that are impossible for Javascript. | null | null | 41,795,946 | 41,795,561 | null | [
