I've been using std::vector with arrays that take up to tens of gigabytes for ~15 years without any real issues. Once the size of the allocation exceeds a few megabytes, any reasonable allocator is going to use an anonymous memory map anyway. And if the array doesn't need to grow, it takes effort to make a standard library vector worse than a manually optimized one. It's just a pointer and two integers, after all.

I inherited a small hardcover handbook on the use of cocaine in medicine and the household. I don’t have it in front of me at the moment so I don’t remember the print date. I’m guessing late 1800 or early 1900. Ah. DDG to rescue, here is a version of it. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thebookmerchantjenkins.com&#x2F;product&#x2F;coca-and-cocaine-their-history-medical-and-economic-uses-and-medicinal-preparations&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thebookmerchantjenkins.com&#x2F;product&#x2F;coca-and-coca...</a> Certainly a different perspective on it from today.

I think maybe the GP&#x27;s point is that we <i>should</i> use systems languages, with their focus on efficiency, for things that the OP defines as out of scope, as an antidote to the creeping software bloat that we all like to complain about from time to time.<p>And let&#x27;s not forget that Word 97 felt <i>bloated</i> in its day, however fondly we may look back on it now.

I disagree. In particular for me the allure for CGI was its simplicity. Have you played around with WASM in the browser? It involves way too many steps to get it integrated into the web page and to interact with it.<p>I let chatgpt do the tedious work, have a look at a minimal example:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chatgpt.com&#x2F;share&#x2F;6707c2f3-5840-8008-96eb-e5002e2241d2" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chatgpt.com&#x2F;share&#x2F;6707c2f3-5840-8008-96eb-e5002e2241...</a>

I am by no means an expert, but I used Flux.jl for a convolutional neural net in electromagnetics for my latest paper and it was such a breath of fresh air compared to Python and PyTorch. (I&#x27;m an EE and not great at programming, so I found a lot of frustration in PyTorch). Even though the Keras library in Python is pretty nice, even then I got myself into some odd pickles when trying to do some custom layers which used FFT processing as it relates to gradient computation. Things are much smoother in Julia, and that doesn&#x27;t even count how much easier the Plots library is! I&#x27;m ashamed to admit that I have no idea how to manipulate the figures and axes in Matplotlib without extensive googling.

&gt; they made bad technical decisions in the design<p>Considering that the most important design requirement was to have a security model that&#x27;s good enough for running untrusted code in web browsers at near native performance, I think the WASM peeps did a pretty good job.<p>Your requirements may be different, but then maybe WASM simply isn&#x27;t the right solution for you (there are plenty of alternatives outside web browsers after all).

What they mean is that in Java, for example, a method has to explicitly state which exceptions it might throw as part of its signature. Note that they said &quot;throws&quot;, not &quot;throw&quot;.<p>Python does not have that.

Not just Mars, NASA plans to land an upper stage on the moon. I think it will need pretty large landing legs, because there is no flat surface on the moon. And gravity being lower while inertia is the same means that things topple over much more easily than on Earth.

Forgive me my ignorance, but if I write<p><pre><code> int foo(int *x) { *x = 0; &#x2F;&#x2F; wait until another thread writes to *x return *x; } </code></pre> Can the C compiler really optimize foo to always return 0? That seems extremely unintuitive to me.

The advantage of satisfying the borrow checker isn&#x27;t all that obvious. The BC is designed to make the program behave well with the fundamental machine model of a common computing device. You may be able to get away with spaghetti code for a new feature in a GC-based language. However my experience is that such technical debt grows over time and you&#x27;re forced to carry out a massive refactor later anyways. GC isn&#x27;t going to help you there. You might as well refactor the code in the beginning itself with the guidance of the BC in order to avoid pain in the end. This is why Rust programs have a reputation to run correctly almost always if they compile.<p>And as the other commenter said, the borrow checker isn&#x27;t all that hard to satisfy. BC complaints are often related to serious memory handling bugs. So if you know how to solve such bugs (which you need to know with C or C++ anyway), BC won&#x27;t frustrate you. You may occasionally face some issues that are hard to solve under the constraints of the BC. But you can handle them by moving the safety checks from compile-time to runtime (using RefCell, Mutex, etc) or handle it manually (using unsafe) if you know what you&#x27;re doing.<p>Like the other commenter, I find some of the complaints about programming friction and refactor to be exaggerated very often. That&#x27;s unfair towards Rust in that it hurts its adoption.

Although 3.1 also meets that criteria. And even with python 2, the dependencies could still update. The main thing is that it&#x27;s the not-updating that will make your code run forever (on any system, language, version), not the fact that it&#x27;s python 2.

Something I keep seeing is that modern ML makes for some really cool and impressive tech demos in the creative field, but is not productionizable due to a lack of creative control.<p>Namely, anything generating music &#x2F; video &#x2F; images - tweaking the output is not workable.<p>Some notable exceptions are when you need stock art for a blog post (no need for creative control), Adobe&#x27;s recolorization tool (lots of control built in), and a couple more things here and there.<p>I don&#x27;t know how it is for 3D assets or rigged model animation (as per the article), never worked with them. I&#x27;d be curious to hear about successful applications, maybe there&#x27;s a pattern.

The skills that you are treating as innate may be a lot more learnable than you think. The first time I did micro-soldering (soldering things on the scale of 1 mm) when I was an EE, my hands shook a lot, and I basically just tried to figure out how to catch the soldering iron in the right place while it waved around. After doing more micro-soldering, people later complimented my &quot;very steady hands&quot; when soldering small things, and they were very steady. Since then, being able to aim things precisely has carried over. I walked on to the NCAA fencing team at school and was good enough to go to several meets largely because I am 6&#x27;3&quot; and left-handed, and could accurately aim the point of an epee at small targets. I also later have been target shooting a bit, and was told I did a lot better than most new shooters.<p>I have fantastic fine motor control thanks to piano playing, but I am very clumsy otherwise. I regularly run into doorways and have near-misses with static objects. The fencing coach found this hilarious. I assume the fine motor control comes from practice (while most people learned to not run into doors, I studied the blade).<p>Certain aspects of this stuff are innate, but I think a lot less of it is than most people do. Those innate things do seem to include &quot;speed at which you learn new stuff,&quot; as well as very basic parameters of your body like reflexes, bone density, and body shape.

The same essential skills make a great PO&#x2F;business analyst as a great engineer: the ability to think in abstract terms and the ability to debug.<p>When successful POs write a book or something, they present the best-practices. They don&#x27;t share the most important wisdom though: there are pretty smart to start with... Applying their practices without the ability to think does not work, and it&#x27;s not something one can pick up on the go.<p>Nothing comes from nothing.

Do you realise that as soon as you go to any of those websites, your details are scraped and sold? The second you put any data in drive or worksdpace, that is scraped into LLMs and sold?<p>Theres a reason that you have to log into a Google account to use those services, which means agreeing to their rather large TOS.<p>Buying something doesnt necessarily mean you have to pay money for it. Your time and information is worth something too.

Another great feature of Tcl for writing servers it that you can reload the code while it is running and keep all the state and connections open. Code up&#x2F;bootstrap your server while it is running the whole time. Sure this is a security nightmare, but it is fun to code.

This reminds me of <i>Seeing Like a State</i>[0] (I know, it&#x27;s not new... but I only got around to reading it earlier this year.)<p>Automating a process makes it more standardized and legible, but takes away a lot of the nuance and of the resilience that human institutions tend to bake in. Do it too little, you get chaos; do it too much, you&#x27;re destroying the very thing you were trying to nurture.<p>It&#x27;s certainly deformation professionnelle, but the parallel with software is eerily relevant.<p>--- [0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Seeing_Like_a_State" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Seeing_Like_a_State</a>

&gt; It sounds pessimistic and awful<p>It isn&#x27;t really. I don&#x27;t know you but what e.g. movie or music taste we have in common is probably quite blend and boring. The art is in the niche.<p>And for some reason the algorithm thinks we love what we have in common with others. Click one &#x27;blend&#x27; video and its genre takes over your feed.

I just wrote that as an observation, and I did not mean to offend the parent.<p>Now, let me explain why I felt that way. First and foremost, the phrase &quot;undefined behavior&quot; only applies to C and C++ because the specifications of those languages define it. The statement that Rust has no UB does not make sense because Rust has no specification, and all behavior is defined by the default implementation.<p>For example, C&#x2F;C++ specifications state that using a pointer after calling &quot;free()&quot; on it is UB. But an implementation can make it well-defined by adding a GC and making &quot;free()&quot; a no-op. Hence, memory safety is entirely orthogonal to UB.<p>Another example: signed overflow being UB is not a memory safety problem unless the value is used for array indexing. Also, it is possible to enable bounds checking in STL containers (like _GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS).<p>It seems like that a lot of Rust fans read John Regehr&#x27;s posts and use &quot;undefined behavior&quot; as a boogeyman to throw shade at C&#x2F;C++. They repeat the same points ad nauseam. It also helps that the phrase &quot;undefined behavior&quot; evokes strong emotions (eg., &quot;nasal demons&quot;). I see the parent commenter doing this frequently and sometimes[1] even in the C++ subreddit (of all the places!). How is this not obnoxious?<p>Here[2] is another person doing the same, but in a spicier tone. Linked lists and graphs are safe if you have an isoheap allocator (look at Fil-C).<p>You can say that it is moral to endlessly reiterate the problems of unsafe languages, because it could lead to more secure software. But see the reply to my other comment by &quot;hyperbrainer&quot;[3] which says that Rust is &quot;completely&quot; memory safe, which is entirely wrong[4]. It is hard not to suspect the motives of those who claim to be concerned about memory safety.<p>[1] -<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;cpp&#x2F;comments&#x2F;1fu0y6n&#x2F;when_a_background_thread_races_against_the&#x2F;lpw9m2l&#x2F;?context=3" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;cpp&#x2F;comments&#x2F;1fu0y6n&#x2F;when_a_backgro...</a> [2] - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=32121622">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=32121622</a> [3] - I am unable to reply because of the depth. [4] - Rust requires unsafe to do a lot of things which can be done in safe code in a GC&#x27;d language. Thus, unsafe is pretty common in Rust than most GC&#x27;d languages. If a segfault can literally kill a person, it is absolutely immoral to choose Rust over Java (it does not matter that Rust &quot;feels&quot; safer than Java).

Note the “all” in the example binds to “across”, not “McD’s”.<p>“All McD’s” - quite precise; literally all the McD’s.<p>“McD’s all across the country” - a much looser group, implies various McD’s spanning roughly coast to coast (hence “all across the country”), but not necessarily including the westernmost and easternmost McD’s - just a decent distribution of west-to-east, perhaps with no giant gaps (like missing the whole Midwest).

totally.<p>The break up occurred in the 80&#x27;s. and since then through mergers&#x2F;acquisitions, they have re-joined.<p>So we have monopolies again.<p>Somehow we have lost the will-power in government to impose the needed actions to ensure a free market. Like also denying mergers that would create monopolies.<p>Like how was Ticketmaster even allowed to happen. We let it buy its competitors and now it is a monopoly.

&gt; product speed is declining, see this chart.<p>How do you measure product speed in a useful manner?<p>I&#x27;d disqualify metrics such as number of tickets, lines of code, and &quot;story points&quot;, because they either have an undefined relationship with product velocity (e.g. LOC per week), can vary in size too much to be useful (e.g. number of tickets per week), or they&#x27;re tautological (e.g. story points per week).<p>What&#x27;s left?

Haven&#x27;t looked at the job market in a while). At the time, it was 30k gross vs 70k for positions in Germany (and some 90k too, i assume those were outliers).<p>A few of my friends moved to Iceland and hit those salaries (and more) without troubles

Right. We are now arguing over the nuances of what would make quantum computers useful, which I address in a comment where I say &quot;Everything matters&quot; later in this thread.<p>Most people who work in this field doubt that every quantum simulation problem we care about will be classical tractable in practice, that is, non worst-case. If we believed that, we might as well give up and continue to use the robust, mature classical computers we have and will continue to have better instances of for the foreseeable future.

How long does a fineliner typically last? During the pandemic I tried doing Draw A Box, which demands fineliners. It seemed like they’d die on me extremely fast, and was a big reason I stopped. I don’t know if I got a bad batch or that’s just how they are.

I think you are close, but we need to stop these mega-mergers where the acquisition would give any company X% of the market. We also need to go after the anti-monopoly practices of the mega giants; like what Amazon did to Diapers.com. As we&#x27;ve seen through the pandemic and elsewhere, extreme consolidation is only good for shareholders and more rent-seeking. It is never good for workers or the market or competition. It has affected everything from food to energy to &quot;news&quot; to healthcare.

In embedded this situation is quite common when x points to a hardware register. The typical solution is to declare x as volatile[1] which tells the compiler to omit these optimizations.<p>It&#x27;s <i>very</i> common for beginner embedded programmers to forget to do this and spend hours debugging why the register doesn&#x27;t change when it should.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Volatile_(computer_programming)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Volatile_(computer_programmi...</a>

To me, this recurring narrative of product versus engineering is both tiresome and misguided.<p>In well-run companies, commercial, product, and engineering teams are aligned - overused as the term may be. Any misalignment points to fundamental flaws in company culture. In my experience, this misalignment is what causes so much pain in high-growth companies that introduce managerial roles to a previously founder-led culture - not the product owner role as such.<p>It&#x27;s counterproductive to stereotype POs as overbearing taskmasters, or to cast engineers as creators of beautiful but useless code. Such perceptions, if prevalent within a company, should be the primary issue to address. There&#x27;s certainly features that POs don&#x27;t enjoy working on but they have to - same for engineers (think about all those compliance features).<p>I believe POs can serve as a vital bridge between commercial and engineering departments. They clarify how features add customer value, explain business objectives behind projects and help decide what&#x27;s next on the roadmap. Additionally, they help maintain focus by minimising abrupt directional shifts in the roadmap that could waste resources. And they can weigh in on decisions when they see that engineering teams are already strained by other projects or any business-as-usual work.<p>In that way, everyone is be enabled to do their best work and the PO is not reduced to the cookie cutter version the author portrays in the article.

I mean, I wish. I have met these so-called giants of the field when I was at conference (they had a yearly big-brains meeting the same time, same place). I bet they talk about classic stuff because otherwise they wouldn&#x27;t get funding. Quantum mechanics and using quantum computers for quantum problems actually would have convinced <i>me</i>. But who cares about me. What they need this is this thing called MONEY and that doesn&#x27;t come with intellectually interesting problems -- it comes with overinflated claims over things that the committee understands. So classical problems it is. Can&#x27;t blame them playing the game, but at the same time, I wonder how they look into the mirror at night.

I&#x27;ve used offline indexing with Solr back in 2010-2012, and this was because the latency between the Solr server and the MySQL db (indexing done via dataimport handler) was causing the indexer to take hours instead of the sub 1 hour (same server vs servers in same datacenter).<p>In many ways Solr has come a long way since, and I&#x27;m curious to see how well they can make a similar system perform in the cloud environment.

I have to disagree with the central argument, which is to give engineers more product management responsibilities. A way I’ve handled priorities as a PM is by setting the order of the backlog. At sprint planning, the team collectively decides what to pull off the backlog, and it doesn’t have to be the top stories that add up to our expected points goal. If the team goes diving to the bottom of the list for a bunch of trivial stories, then that sparks a conversation about why we have different priorities. Product owner isn’t a dictator, but they are ultimately responsible for the product.<p>Ideally, I want engineers focused on building, not taking discovery meetings with potential customers, messing around in Figma, projecting financials, writing ads, or any other role. I think some engineers like the side quests because they’re fun. In the kitchen analogy, we need cooks to do boring stuff like chop 100 onions and make dinner rolls. If everyone in the kitchen had to do market research at other restaurants, pick up ingredients from local farms, and test new menu concepts, the place would be out of business in short order.<p>Most software businesses don’t need a bunch of Picassos, they need house painters with spray guns and buckets of off-white.

I am slowly and sadly learning this lesson. My customers are devs, and I want <i>so badly</i> for them to care as deeply as I do about RDBMS optimization, normalization, and referential integrity, but by and large it’s a fool’s errand.<p>What <i>has</i> worked to some extent is patiently walking them down the path of what happens if those things don’t happen, e.g. “so no one uses lookup tables or enums, so now every row has X unnecessary bytes, which puts pressure on the buffer pool, and then everyone’s queries slow down, and everyone’s SLOs trend down…”<p>It doesn’t always work; I’ve also had people respond that “they’ll fix it later,” (lolol sure) but it’s had better results than simply explaining why their schema is technically sub-optimal.<p>The absolute worst to deal with have been those who seem to completely lack empathy, and respond flatly with, “fixing that isn’t on our roadmap, and isn’t likely to be,” even when I explain that in X months, my team <i>will</i> be suffering from their decisions.

It&#x27;s not like English is much better on its own; We have the &quot;Progressive Apostrophe&quot;, which is intended to warn the reader than the letter S is about to appear (&quot;not responsible for accident&#x27;s&quot;, &quot;employee&#x27;s must wash hand&#x27;s&quot;, etc)

Yeah, the fact that it&#x27;s still down is a bit depressing.<p>I hope that this event makes some forward-thinking benevolent rich folks step up, or alternative solution.

&gt; Most software businesses don’t need a bunch of Picassos, they need house painters with spray guns and buckets of off-white.<p>This is so good and yet so painful.

&gt; Overall, I&#x27;d say telling people to use private windows and teaching then Ctrl+W is probably better.<p>Yes, you should do that <i>as well</i> as understand that, for things like this, where you&#x27;re providing information for vulnerable people across an entire population, your people are going to span a huge range of technical literacy and you will not be able to reach all of them in time. Give them the big red escape button with the special &quot;dial 999&quot; style memorable key combo <i>as well</i> as teach them everything else. But triage and do the &quot;this solution works for the broadest number of people the quickest&quot; thing first - the big red button.

Another strange part of getting old:<p>The gap between Dookie and American Idiot seems significantly longer to me than the gap between American Idiot and today, yet it&#x27;s half as long :&#x2F;
