41,798,402 | comment | DoesntMatter22 | 2024-10-10T13:06:17 | null | Sounds like you are agreeing with me. You tried to work on it years ago and didn't fix it. Even when it was completing last year it's performance was half of what Rails was, which isn't known to be fast [1].<p>The database pool needs to be at 512 to 1024? Yet Rails seems to get away with far less than that and still have better performance.[2]<p>Even if, somehow, Elixir is actually faster, which seemingly lacks evidence at this point other than some anecdotes by people who have a vested interest in people adopting the language (primarily Elixir dev shops and framework/language authors), the fact that the community of Elixir devs cannot get decent results on these tests says a lot.<p>If these people can't get good results in tuning Elixir, who can?<p>Not a surprise to see people ITT also noting that they ran into the same types of problems that the tests reveal.<p>[1]: <a href="https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/master/frameworks/Ruby/rails/config/database.yml">https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/mast...</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r21&hw=ph&test=update" rel="nofollow">https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r21&hw=...</a> | null | null | 41,795,989 | 41,792,304 | null | [

The way it's being improved-to-death is a symptom. The unceremonious eviction of Tim Peters indicates to me that the take-over is complete: the new guard feels comfortable throwing out the old guard, they expect that their power is such that no one will blink, and no one did.

41,798,415 | comment | raattgift | 2024-10-10T13:07:52 | null | > inhabitants of a block universe could experience time as sequential without a real sequential ordering of universe states<p>tl;dr: I don't think Boltzmann brains count as "inhabitants" because their worldlines are so short. Considering together a select set of available Boltzmann brains does not really admit something that looks like a long but complicated worldline. By virtue of being a fluctuation in a thermal bath in equilibrium a BB does not affect the wider universe; a Boltzmann flashlight can't blink out a message in Morse code.<p>The herd of elephants in the room is the exp(- \Delta S) suppression of fluctuations of size \Delta S out of equlibrium.<p>I think you are saying that we can imagine a set of some billion billion ephemeral Boltzmann brains each having memories associated with a unique fraction of a <i>false</i> life. I agree we can imagine that, but at the cost of having exact duplicates and many many more ephemeral Boltzmann brains with corrupted and even wholly unrelated false memories.<p>The true causality is the history of the thermal bath and not the memories of the brains.<p>In principle we can distinguish between a chosen set of same-false-life-at-different-stages Boltzmann brains and a real human with a very complicated FTL-and-time-travel worldline because at each point on the worldline the latter gets stress-energy ("signals", if you like) from the predecessor point, and also from (and to) each point's neighbours not on the same worldline. That is, our real traveller can detect the thermal bath temperature (which matters in an expanding cosmology) and leaks out metabolism photons to infinity. Ephemeral Boltzmann brains do neither.<p>The "virtual life" Boltzmann brains -- as you note -- do not have to be ordered in any way. I would go further: brains with immediately neighbouring fractions of the virtual life's false memories can be totally causally disconnected, not just causally disordered.<p>So I don't think the thought experiment says anything other than the Poincaré recurrence theorem admits states that are close (but not arbitrarily close or exact) to the initial state. That is, BB_final will recur, but so will BB_final-minus-one-nanoseconds-of-false-memory, BB_final-minus-two-nanoseconds-of-false-memory, ... but in some arbitrary point in the system's evolution. I don't think that's surprising.<p>There will also be brief ephemeral fluctuations into (and out of) mouse brains, cockroach brains, microchips, Jeep Wranglers, brains with memories of having lived lives as little green men from Mars, and so on and so forth. If you have BBs full of false human memories, without some unknown suppression mechanism you will also have BBs full of false nonhuman memories, and nonhuman BBs, especially smaller and less complicated ones (\Delta S being much smaller in those cases).<p>I also don't think it says anything about our universe, since we simply do not know enough about dark energy to make confident guesses about the very far future (i.e., does it really asymptote to de Sitter with the thermal bath from a dS horizon?). We also don't know if protons are stable that far into the future. However, with what we do know (which is not enough), the far future looks pretty empty. If there aren't RQFT interactions at GUT-scale energies that allow for violations of baryon and lepton numbers, maximum entropy in the far future (>> 10^33 years) still fairly low, but also the path to new nuclei from the (photon-dominated) thermal bath probably means no BBs at all (effectively all baryons are behind horizons by ~10^{10^10} years from now, and significant numbers BBs in our future light cone are expected not much earlier than ~10^{10^50}, although of course if BBs can happen at all, the very occasional individual BB may have its ephemeral moment at any time including today.)<p>So if there are BBs with false memories of human lives, they are so far in the future that an entire 2020s-style solar system fluctuating into existence and <i>persisting</i> (or a time-traveller who reaches that future) could not recover anything like our present cosmology. At best, via a strong Lorentz boost, they might detect relic and horizon photons, and maybe splatter their windscreens with the occasional BB.<p>The fluctuated-and-persisting-solar-system scientists would quickly realize its false memories of skies full of stars and galaxies were not true memories. A real time-traveller would probably just try to measure what's left of the CMB or find another marker of the cosmological scale factor.<p>(The time travel can have been to-the-future-only by something as boring as spending a lot of time moving close to the speed of light.)<p>Not discussed yet: what to do about fluctuations in fields which obey conservation laws that result in antiparticles. My fast answer would be: that's one reason BBs are so short lived; they are ripped apart by matter/antimatter annihilations. | null | null | 41,788,375 | 41,782,534 | null | null | null | null |

The Pivotal process is equally rigid about the backlog order.<p>But the important distinction - and if you've never worked with a Pivotal team you might not realize it - is that the pointed stories in the backlog are all customer-facing. They represent business priorities. The PM absolutely defines the business priorities.<p>Pointed stories are not created in a vacuum; the PM works with the tech leads to define reasonable features. And pointing is done by the engineers.<p>Also, nothing stops the eng team from adding (unpointed) chores to the backlog and working on them! But there's a velocity cost and that can affect delivery dates. There's negotiation involved.<p>If the PM is micromanaging engineering tasks, you're doing it wrong. The process requires a good PM. | null | null | 41,798,130 | 41,797,009 | null | [

41,798,453 | comment | wruza | 2024-10-10T13:11:50 | null | The complexity of the types you see in traditional nodejs web servers is there because all of them tried to work as a god-function multitool. The type of a router handler literally incorporates the types of all constituents of a generic request-reponse process and additional server-specific data, all packed into (req, res). This only happens in ultra-generic code that is basically web servers only.<p>Iow, don't go to the definition of a web request handler. Go here: <a href="https://fastify.dev/docs/latest/Reference/TypeScript/" rel="nofollow">https://fastify.dev/docs/latest/Reference/TypeScript/</a><p>Other languages (libraries really) separate these parts, e.g. Spring Boot seems to hide routing away into a method decorator which infers the body type from a target signature and the server is somehow implied(? through a controller?..). Anyway, it's all there, just not in one place. It has nothing to do with Typescript, it's a js library legacy issue. | null | null | 41,791,780 | 41,764,163 | null | null | null | null |

You can think of it as a mix of Word and Excel, some sort of "literate programming" environment.<p>This is still an early version but I wanted to get some feedback from HN on what could be nice features to add.<p>Check out the Docs and examples page, it has a ton
of (in my humble opinion) cool stuff!<p>Why did I build this?
I was building some estimation for cloud costs in Google Sheets and I quickly ended up with a mess. I realized that if I wanted to analyze how a certain thing changes wrt to multiple variables by plotting it, I had to create a bunch of copies of data and copy my formulas everywhere... a SWE nightmare!<p>Tenno simplifies this because you can essentially define a function you are interested in, and only the analyzing it using plots that explore various dimensions.<p>BTW, you can also use Tenno to build dashboards by pulling data from APIs, checkout the weather data example. | https://tenno.app | 253 | null | 41,798,477 | 105 | [

41,798,480 | comment | ragnese | 2024-10-10T13:15:41 | null | I think this is backwards. A calculator app <i>should</i> be a simple thing. There's nothing undefined or novel about a calculator app. You can buy a much more capable physical calculator from Texas Instruments for less than $100 and I'm pretty sure the CPU in one of those is just an ant with some pen and paper.<p>You and I only think it's complex because we've become accustomed to <i>everything</i> being complex when it comes to writing software. That's my point. The mathematical operations are not hard (even the "fancy" ones like the trig functions). Formatting a number to be displayed is also not hard (again, those $100 calculators do it just fine). So, why is it so hard to write the world's 100,000th calculator app that the world's highest paid developers can't get it 100% perfect? There's something super wrong with our situation that it's even possible to have a race condition between the graphical effects and the actual math code that causes the calculator to display the wrong results.<p>If we weren't forced to build a skyscraper with Lego bricks, we might stand a better chance. | null | null | 41,792,951 | 41,758,371 | null | null | null | null |

41,798,485 | comment | Expurple | 2024-10-10T13:16:24 | null | This annotation would be useless, because it would infect ~99% of your codebase. All IO is implemented as unsafe FFI calls or unsafe inline assembly somewhere down the stack. And even "pure" types like Box, Option, Vec have a lot of unsafe in their implementations. At some point these standard implementations just have to talk to an allocator which is implemented unsafely (obviously), or they have to construct a slice [1], etc. Would you make an exception for the standard library and why? I think, this just doesn't make sense. It's all unsafe somewhere down the stack.<p>[1] <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/slice/fn.from_raw_parts.html" rel="nofollow">https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/slice/fn.from_raw_parts.html</a> | null | null | 41,797,618 | 41,791,773 | null | null | null | null |

In almost any context, ownership should primarily about responsibility for the outcome, with the minimum authority necessary to coordinate work towards that outcome. People who are good at owning things will push most decisions to people closer to each sub-problem, while giving an overall framework that keeps everyone rowing in the same direction. For Product, that manifests as a roadmap with high level prioritization, but plenty of room for engineers to tweak scope or ordering to take on targets of opportunity. | null | null | 41,798,087 | 41,797,009 | null | null | null | null |
