For the parent: and not only bottlenecked at single hops but also hampered by the propagation of latency as the hops increase, depending on the complexity of the distributed system design.

I suppose you are right, but we may not say "it has been widely known". Lots of us who read HN come from the the software side and we coders often hand wave on these topics when shooting the breeze -- much like how a casual car e

I should. Yet what I'm trying to express in my comment is that the part of the system that would analyze the data and then make trades is not only unfinished, is still unstarted. So I have continually polished the ingest portion but fe

I can so relate to this guy. I'm "only" in my 50s now, but I am in my 50s now. For a couple of decades I've had this grand vision about how to build the perfect algorithmic trading system. The practical expression of t

I've been reading posts with equally daunting arguments since 1992 on Usenet. As the article points out, Moore's Law was principally about the number of features. Today, the "Intel ISA" portion of one of their CPU cores

Funny you should say that. I remember using a Microsoft product back in the '90s that featured WYSIWYG forms. As a programmer, though, you couldn't imagine my joy at discovering I could define and configure the UI in code instead!

This doesn't strike me as the kind of challenge a tool/product can address.

AI coding tools have been improving/updating like craze over the past six months. Honest question: what are some of the AI Dev tools (I prefer command line) that have leapt ahead recently, with good tool/function calling? Do you

Okay. I guess someone could have said the same thing at the dawn of the microcomputer era, too. Get back to us when the world melts down.

I'm inclined to agree with the conclusions of the article. A lot of people make good points here about manual tooling (and I personally prefer this myself) but: Worse Is Better. The MCP way of accessing extra functionality and context

I disagree with the other reply indicating something like this should not be used in production. For most of the history of practical disk IO, it was observed and assumed that disk reads would be relatively much faster than disk writes. I

Agreed and -- in particular -- I don't recall seeing any kind of "everybody get back into the pool" follow-up after the developers of atop quickly addressed the issue with an update. At least not any kind of follow-up that g

Hmm, the proliferation of branches, including some which seem perhaps more recent than "v1beta" made me imagine this could apply.

Unless you're making a joke about geeks not being overly social, "peering" works fine in this context. Basically, "connect with those on your level."

Oh, I'm familiar with the history. I was thinking maybe you had similar concerns (lack of dynamic content) with something modern like HTMX which is a modern take on Server Side Rendering -- but it does in fact include mechanisms for AJ

Quite simply: at certain threshold counts of users you will be forced to add many more cloud instances/pods running Rails than you would need running node.js (or Java or go or many others). But it doesn't stop at instances becaus

What is the specific pain? Are you just referring to dynamic content on the client in general or different issues?

Yeap. Once I squinted hard enough at GraphQL, I realized it was a tantrum against coordinating front end calls with back-end API signatures efficiently, masquerading as a solution. A classic end-around. What's funny is that people stru

If you "screw up and succeed" by gaining many users/customers, any Ruby or Python framework provides orders of magnitude fewer requests-per-second on the same VM or hardware than a comparable solution deployed with node.js, g

>To the point that I wouldn't want to work on UI without fine-grained hot reloads. No -- but you could. And it wouldn't be the end of the world. So I'm just saying, DX doesn't eclipse all other considerations.

Even a cursory glance at the runtime performance difference between these two frameworks reveals that either this project won't scale to the point that cloud costs are relevant or they have a dubious prioritization of DX over deploymen

I came here to comment the same -- also ready to share my SAT scores from the 1980s. I was also much highter on the verbal side and I have had an awesome software engineering career using many, many languages (often together) on large, pro

In my reading of this, it looks like the practical implication could be that reads happening quickly after writes to the same row(s) might return stale data. The write transaction gets marked as complete before all of the distributed layers

This is a personal project that had the specific goal of the person's brother, who was not a coder, being able to contribute to the project. On top of that, they felt the need to continuously upgrade to the latest version of the under

You mentioned "initial downclocking effects", yet (for posterity) I want to emphasize that in 2020 Ice Lake (Sunny Cove core) and later Intel processors, the downclocking is really a nothingburger. The fusing off debacle in deskt
