I can't speak for proof of identity in the US, but please understand that digital privacy is a slippery slope we're already sliding down, it is not unreasonable to be critical of any privacy violating initiative, because privacy

This data is indeed not irregularly distributed, in fact the fun thing about geospatial data is that you always know the maximum extent of it. About your binary tree comment: yes this is absolutely valid, but consider then that binary trees

I think the key is in the distributed nature, h3 is effectively a grid so can easily be distributed over nodes. A recursive system is much harder to handle that way. R-trees are great if you are OK with indexing all data on one node, which

Although I understand your frustration (and have certainly been at the other side of this as well!), I think its very valuable to always verbalize your intuition of scope of work and be critical if your intuition is in conflict with reality

Besides the other comments already here about code gen & contracts, a bigger one for me to step away from json/xml is binary serialization. It sounds weird, and its totally dependent on your use case, but binary serialization can

Sure, but from the perspective of the code that has the move() its good to assume the value is moved at that call, which I guess was the intention of picking the name.

I think it would make sense to have these issues bubble up into the public consciousness of hackernews. I've never used AI to code, I'm a software architect and currently assume I get little value out of an LLM. It would be useful

Indeed, it seems that the gap that is present politically between America and Europe is to some extent also playing out in the individual, even in the tech scene. This is a little alarming to me, as the idea of an alliance can break down on

Again this is a polarizing question. There's nothing wrong with either perspective, rather its the case that the European perspective is different . That's not to say that Europeans are right , or that criticism flowing from Eur

This is not really fair, the story is never explicitly discounted as hyperbole in the article and follows a range of other more mellow criticisms of europe. Also, directly following this quote, is the question: "Could anyone imagine C

Question: does it make you a saint if you don't spend money lavishly when you have it? Note: its only about not spending it, not about donating or otherwise using it for an ethical purpose.

This still assumes an all encompassing transparent durability layer, what I'm arguing for is the opposite: something that can just be a library in any language, and any runtime, because it does not try to be clever about injecting dura

Although I'm the first to agree with this, it is actually commendable in the sense that it breaks with the quarterly profits approach. Like meta with the metaverse thing, I hate it with a passion, but pouring billions yearly with littl

Just to continue the idea: you wouldn't be constraining or tagging functions, you would relinquish control to a system that closely guards how you produce side effects. e.g doing a raw HTTP request from a task is prohibited, not interc

Ok, I'm not an expert here, you most likely are, but just my 2 cents on your response: I would very much argue to not make this magic. e.g: > take memory snapshots after each step in a workflow Don't do this. Just give people

For me the main issue with these systems is that its still seen as a special case of backend execution. I think the real value is just admitting that every POST/PUT should kick off a durable execution, but that doesn't seem to mat

Although that particular claim is sensational, the main argument does not depend on sensational claims. The article is not straw-manning the AI argument, its steel-manning it: show me any improvement in software delivery after the inventi

This is not really the same level of argument. The post is arguing against the idea that software is incredibly cheap to make through AI right now , not that AI cannot ever make complete software products from scratch in the future.

No, its a matter of perspective. > Idempotency is a property that says the handler can run as many times as I like .... using some input. If that input has a key and the handler bails on execution, your definition is not at all violated.

by vouwfietsman 10mo ago
Maybe this is a mismatch of expectations, but I generally think very few handlers are idempotent without such a key. E.g any edits or soft-deleted are impossible to handle in an idempotent way without auxiliary information (idempotency key

I don't think I'm qualified to answer the question, and I also think it depends on terminology where maybe 'core' is the wrong thing to say, but regardless: my general point is that the assumptions that hold for CPUs don
