Pretty cool. I wonder if any part of Rudra will ever be incorporated into the Rust compiler.

Wow, this is really interesting!

London's vacancy rate is actually very low, even during covid when vacancy rates tended to rise.

Honestly looks really cool, I want to try using Ray.

Foundation DB seems really cool and useful.

Interesting paper. This is a good summary!

Noria seems pretty cool, and this is a good summary!

I tried watching HyperNormalisation but I kept noticing inaccuracies, I got frustrated and had to stop.

"New buyers" == immigrants.

Have you looked into temporal.io/cadence workflow? They seem to implement the event sourcing pattern in a structured way.

Yes I'm referring to mobile web apps that either work offline, or don't severely impact their UX in the presence of a slow or unreliable network.

Many native mobile apps have these properties, and if mobile web apps want to compete they will have to as well.

In practice, that means generally minimizing network traffic, being smart about caching data, and providing soft failure modes.

Neither Liveview nor StimulusReflex are well suited to this problem space.

Neither Elixir Liveview nor StimulusReflex are really viable longterm, especially for mobile web.

The idea of chattily streaming UI changes over the network doesn't work out for mobile web, where networks are frequently unreliable if not totally inaccessible.

So that client side web applications can run git.

Serverside caching with e.g. doesn't help with network latency.

Really enjoyed your previous posts, looking forward to your book reviews!

Really liked the article. Thought it provided a clear description what Raft is for, how it works, and its historical motivations.

For years and years people have been asking for "task ports" which would facilitate synchronous but safe js interop.

As far as I can tell the only reason Evan doesn't include something like task ports is to purposely make interop less convenient (but no more safe) than it needs to be, in order to encourage people to write elm. However, I think this decision will end up biting him at the end of the day.

As far as I know, Tesla has has little to no relation to BoringCo beyond the fact that they are both owned in large part by Elon Musk.

Wow this looks great!

He totally misunderstands the danger of runaway AI's. Even perfectly intentioned AI researchers living in his imagined utopia would be at risk of accidentally creating one. Aligning AI's with human values is a non-trivial technical problem, and there's no guarantee we'll find a solution before someone creates a super intelligent AI, regardless of how well we structure society.

I just brought up his use of the nazi slogan "blood and soil".

Also, listen to this. It's Jeff Deist's take on Richard Spencer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6kJNHZvanI&t=1s

Within the video Deist advocates for what he calls a "Benedict Option" whereby a white ethnostate would secede from the US.

Overall the tone of the video is that Deist disagrees with Richard Spencer's economic stance, but that he doesn't take issue with Spencer's views on race.

Jeff Deist, the author of this article is a crypto white nationalist. You can pick up a hint of this from the article above,

"He understands that globalism is not liberalism, that identity and culture matter"

A quote from another article,

"Jeff Deist, President of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, a right-libertarian think tank for promoting Rothbardian anarcho-capitalism and the Austrian School of economics, said of the Alt-right that he found their writings "interesting...and somewhat refreshing".[20] In 2017, Deist concluded a speech at the Mises Institute titled 'For a New Libertarian' with the words, "In other words, blood and soil and God and nation still matter to people. Libertarians ignore this at the risk of irrelevance."[21]

Note that "blood and soil" refers to the nazi phrase "blut and boden".

15% is a lot.

That still won't give us faster than light speed communication.

Not sure why http2 and SPA's are in conflict here. If anything they complement one another.

Every response to question in this thread that I've seen so far is overly wishy washy and philosophical. This question has a simple, concrete answer.

The difference between Bayesians and Frequentists is in the loss function that they attempt to minimize.

Bayesian loss functions assume a constant dataset and sums across one's hypothesis set.

Frequentist loss functions assume a constant hypothesis and sum over across possible datasets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_function

Really though this is false dichotomy, as it's perfectly possible to be both a Bayesian and a Frequentist by using a loss function which sums over both one's hypothesis set and across possible datasets.

I consider it a blessing. It means we never need to argue about these things. Go's go-fmt has the same philosphy.

It looks like the elm implementation isn't using "lazy"

Use numbers instead of backticks or underscores. There's a reason we got rid of roman numerals.

Record extension was removed because it allowed Evan to improve error messages, and because he found that Elm's power users didn't use the feature.
