Fjall is an LSM-based key-value store written in Rust. It is pretty similar to RocksDB.

I do wish to note also that Marvin's blog posts are very informative and a great read. I would highly suggest reading them if you are at all interested in how Fjall or other LSM-based storage engines work.

I regularly enable YouTube subtitles. Almost always, they are a 100% verbatim transcription, excluding errors from auto-transcription. I am not annoyed in the slightest, and in fact I very much prefer that they are verbatim.

If you are too slow at reading subtitles, you can either slow down the video or train yourself to read faster. Or you can just disable the subtitles.

Software engineering is not just about building new things. I'd propose that by far the majority of the time of software engineers is spent on maintenance, bug fixing, minor incremental improvements, etc. Almost all software is either sold directly as a service or as a product with a servicing agreement.

most software development is creating an asset that pays off over time

This is a fantasy.

Isn't this just simulated annealing in hardware attached to a grandiose restatement of the second law of thermodynamics?

Your code is my code actually. I wrote all of it. Where's the harm?

Didn't the RIAA completely ruin their reputation (along with the other AAs) by doing that? Now it seems like most people just equate them with a huge pile of lawyers in suits who care not about art.

We have nukes and a massive air force.

YC is funding weapon manufacturers lol. Where are the ethics there?

Circular reasoning? The reason we have a massive and more importantly effective air force is because weapons development occurred. It would not take very long at all for China to surpass the US in terms of air effectiveness if the US stopped working on defense projects.

Have you considered that getting someone arrested after you ruin a major source of their income is potentially not the most polite thing to do?

How would I respond at my job if someone openly antagonized my project(s) and completely refused to work with me? Probably complain to management.

Where is an example of this "false advertising"?

I have a hard time believing that you wouldn't be annoyed if some almost completely unrelated maintainer hard NACKs your patch and every suggestion you offer just because they hold a grudge against the language you used.

The person who quit wrote the Linux graphics driver for Apple M-series GPUs in Rust.

edit: I may have gotten some things confused, please see below

For (2), I believe they want to interact with the DOM directly (via whatever language the rest of the app is written in) without needing to go through JavaScript.

have you considered that dating apps suck for literally everyone and everybody should leave them?

I believe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_... (Gödel's incompleteness theorems) applies here

let me just apply my super proprietary machine learning architecture... ah yes it's done, behold, I can generate 3.69 trillion frames per second, because I compressed each frame to a single bit and that's how fast the CPU's memory bus is

oh great so you centralize even harder and that will fix everything?

And yeah it's not perfect. Stop making perfect the enemy of good.

This sounds to me like a troll. In any case, I don't think blatantly advertising your lack of expertise in networking is a good way of improving one's portfolio.

Hi, respectfully, you do not appear to understand how networking works.

This is not how you "simulate packet loss". You are not "dropping TCP packets". You are never giving your data to the TCP stack in the first place.

UDP is incomparable to TCP. Your protocol is incomparable to TCP. Your entire benchmark is misguided and quite frankly irrelevant.

As far as I can tell, absolutely no attempt is made whatsoever to retransmit lost packets. Any sporadic failure (for example, wifi dropout for 5 seconds) will result in catastrophic data loss. I do not see any connection logic, so your protocol cannot distinguish between connections other than hoping that ports are never reused.

Have you considered spending less time on branding and more time on technical matters? Or was this supposed to be a troll?

edit: There's no congestion control nor pacing. Every packet is sent as fast as possible. The "protocol" is entirely incapable of streaming operation, and hence message order is not even considered. The entire project is just a thin wrapper over the raptorq crate. Why even bother comparing this to TCP?

centralization is bad except when we do it

TL;DR

Tailscale doesn't even try to hide their MP or DP traffic. Last I checked, management was plain https and data was plain wireguard.

It's bad in relative terms because better ideas cannot be implemented.

Was it only for the tour? Was it actually $1M, or did it later increase in value? Did Xerox value a strategic relationship? "A whole load of ideas" seems worth more than $1M to me, especially if you're Xerox back then.

Let's say someone patents, idk, Client-Side Decoration (CSD). People like it, surely, because people use it. Unfortunately, there is drastically reduced space to innovate because nobody else can use that idea anymore. Expecting the patent holder to innovate has proven to be a bad assumption in part because IPR means they have no competition in that space anyways. The idea stays bad because nobody else can make it better.

There was no theft.

I didn't know that touring somewhere meant you could copy all their designs. Was that explicitly stated?

last time I checked, VCs also worked this way and didn't take 80% of your company

"high degree of probability"

what degree? what's the false positive rate? what's the false negative rate? what's the true negative rate? what other evidence have you got?

even better, why are you talking about this at all? isn't it best practice to shut up about legal cases?

I have an extremely hard time believing that editing and whatnot means that it's reasonable for the author to only get 15% of each sale. This is especially the case for ebooks where the marginal cost of each copy is practically zero.
