Not my dash, just one I came across that's really neat!

I wonder how much putting a CDN in front of this would reduce this.

According to the readme, it seems like the bulk of the traffic is highly cacheable, so presumably you could park something a CDN in front and substantially reduce the bandwidth requirements.

Web components are honestly the first time I have seen web stuff in years and thought "that actually looks nice".

Maybe it's time for me to crawl out of my systems-software-only hole and play around with the web again.

I hit the point recently where upon being promoted, I realized I had hit the point where my title didn't matter - people knew who I was and my reputation was out there.

Most liberating moment of my career so far.

My life is currently dominated by firefighting. I'd like to be at the point where I am worried about bad code changes and not infrastructure fires, but we will need to work our way through Maslow's Hierarchy first.

I posted another one the other day which didn't get any traction but probably goes in the list: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37835295

This is great fun. Even if it's mostly a 50/50 guessing game it's still quite humorous.

I mentioned OSS in a different comment, but it's not the only thing I've noticed this with. Politics at any level in the US (local, state, or national) falls into the same situation regardless of party.

Activism takes time and resources to be successful and get your name out, and the moral status attached to it creates a similar set of incentives such that you end up with the same pattern of lifers who are perpetually broke, independently wealthy folks who can be heavily involved and live decently at the same time, and folks with a dayjob who are involved but never really wield much influence on any level.

It's an interesting problem and I'd argue it serves as evidence that this happens to anything with attached status. Journalism I've heard has the issue as well.

If you're building something that has a big community and sees a lot of use, you've got a lot of different stakeholders with different needs. The folks contributing to the compiler, language, standard library, or build system directly are not your only stakeholders, nor are they your only contributors.

Successful languages don't become successful without a rich ecosystem behind them. The people responsible for those projects are probably more important to your continued success than anyone contributing to the language itself.

What processes you have makes a huge difference in terms of who you give power to. If you have formal processes that ensure that folks have time to weigh in on things, and you make it easy to follow what's going on (signal-to-noise ratio is important here!), you can get much more relevant feedback from a much larger and more important group of stakeholders than if you handle things in a noisy, fast-moving zulip.

FWIW the open source scene (at least in the US) can often have very similar dynamics. I believe it was Ashley Williams who put it best by saying that in the Rust community (where I am), one's influence is determined by one's free time. I've noticed over time that in certain areas it can very much be those with the least experience on a subject (but the most free time) who wield the most influence.

Maintainer of tokio-uring here. It uses io_uring for the network APIs as well.

Any articles or posts on this? I'd like to read further.

How so? Do schools underfund these programs yet heavily promote them?

I did the same and I am so much happier for it.

I've also noticed that attitudes towards the homeless are completely different between those who walk and those who drive. I'm personally willing to pay whatever it takes in extra taxes to get them shelter and deal with the current crisis in my city, but I've noticed that people who drive are often far less willing to support action here.

I think I understand a lot more about UCEPROTECT now that I've read the message you linked. This is pretty extraordinarily sexist and unprofessional, and you can really get a sense of how much the author despises anyone who criticizes him.

What drama exactly? Sorry, I'm a bit out of the loop now, I stopped using reddit and twitter a few months ago.

At this point IBM is only around because it takes a while to die. IBM's leadership are truly incompetent and I do not expect to see them around in another 10 years. It's a pity that they acquired RedHat, as it will now be driven into the ground like everything else IBM touches.

These projects are so expensive, but also the most impactful I would argue. This intensity of investigation can solve truly horrendous and well-hidden crimes.

I remember having a class "competition" my freshman year of college to implement the fastest autocomplete system. It had to be Java, so I used JNI to call into a well-optimized set of C routines for constructing and querying a trie. I ended up winning by a lot - no one else even implemented a trie. I spent a lot of time making sure that I would have the fastest trie implementation, but that wasn't even necessary.

Thanks for the data, that's exactly my point! this is a term constructed by those outside the group, and those within the group don't use it.

Good point, didn't think about that.

I'd guess not, as anything that would store these new words is probably storing longer text strings, and thus already would need to be dealing with escapes properly. Unlike names, these words won't be keys terribly often.

From what I'm seeing, there seems to be a trend towards ditching smaller offices and consolidating or moving towards WeWork spaces.

It's interesting to watch languages evolve around this issue. I can't help but contrast this and other debates by native speakers with the obnoxious spread of "LatinX", a term which makes no sense if you speak Spanish (I prefer Latine as a gender-neutral term).

Reorganizing these roles to Redmond would make a great deal of sense financially, although I wonder how many of these roles will move, and how many will disappear.

This is far and away one of my favorite metrics. If I see something with more comments than upvotes on here, I can expect an intense debate over something controversial. These tend to be some of my favorite comment sections.

Thanks for sharing this, its always amazing to see how physical properties can be used in weird ways to bypass normal "rules" of computation.

I've come to associate this style with dishonesty. Alegria was designed to elicit feelings of trust, but ironically it now is associated with firms that cannot be trusted.

I would agree completely. There are documented instances of this entity being called out by the parties who actually own the rights to the music. I described them as fraudulent for a reason: what they are doing is fraud.
