I think we mostly disagree about whether "dumb assholes" is a boolean or continuous variable.

Nah, they're independent and they've swung pretty hard away from MAGA once it affected their personal finances. Far from noble, but also pretty far from MAGA.

In the case of my country, USA, we are the ones wounding ourselves. We made the conscious choice to elect a government that prefers isolationism to economic competition, and which rejected near-peer military preparedness in favor of more de

American here. Only a third of us are MAGA. Still plenty to ruin our country though.

If rather see the US stop self-sabotaging by destroying our relationships that established us as the monopole.

I’m an American, and I don’t see it as a purely political game against Trump—my country has dramatically shifted its position toward its allies from reliable partner for 80 years to aggressive antagonist both in trade and military. And it’s

I'm not disputing that X has a legal right to monetize the content, but I am not remotely convinced that (1) X has the _exclusive_ legal right to monetize the content (content creators add no value and thus have no right to the content

I’m very sympathetic to this point of view but I also can’t remotely afford the hardware required to get in the ballpark of Fable.

> absolute order requires very precise time synchronization which is hard Presumably relativity is the reason precise time synchronization (and thus absolute ordering) is hard.

Your comment seems to implicitly assume that X has some ethical claim to the content they're monetizing, when in fact they're trying to monetize _others'_ content.

Widgets are just apps with limited scope and surface area. There’s no reason they can’t apply this to the weather app which already has (or should have) a limited scope.

Even before AI the trend was moving toward increasingly static languages (JS->TS and even a lot more typed Python). Once you accept the static typing benefits, you start to wonder if you could leverage the constraints to drive performanc

If I was writing no-alloc production code, I would stick with Rust, FWIW, at least until Go's library ecosystem improves. I don't mind writing Rust (have been dabbling with it since ~2014), especially with some AI assistance. It&#

I touched OCaml several years ago and ran into a bunch of problems with build tooling, standard library, syntax noise, ideological/unhelpful community, etc that turned me off. I'm also just not experienced enough to write OCaml w

The lock screen widgets don't tell you much more than what you can get from looking outside. It's not very helpful to know that it's currently overcast and raining, but it would be a lot more helpful if I could know when the

If the app doesn't have any sensitive information, then yes. We already do this with home screen widgets today, so clearly there's no real barrier.

I've been having _a lot of fun_ writing Go apps that don't allocate anything and that use small, preallocated buffers to stream through requests/etc. Basically TigerStyle for Go. I don't use arenas, I just size everythin

Unrelatedly, I'm still trying to figure out why Apple requires me to unlock my phone to look at the weather. Is there some concern that someone could pick up my phone and learn what city it is in?

As an American, I wonder if Trump succeeds in giving away so much of America's economic and military power to other countries, will it make America a less interesting target for corrupting interests? Maybe the billionaires and foreign

This isn’t a thundering herd problem, it’s a cascading failure. (Thundering herd is about a bunch of workers waking up simultaneously)

I also just realized that delegating to “UntypedStateMachine” for I/O probably doesn’t allow for Sans-I/O, right? Presumably the UntypedStateMachine must commit to either being sync or async and that must propagate to the typestat

I think this makes sense. I’m eager to try it. Some residual questions: what is “untyped” in this case and what is “PostConditional” (an enum of possible states?)? How do subsequent transitions work?

by throwaway894345 27d ago
How do you model cases where the reservation fails, where the inventory operation is already complete, etc? Basically conditional transitions based on some data received? Also, where does the actual I/O happen? Presumably there is some
