A potentially more productive view is that the fed cannot support the bubble indefinitely.

It's becoming clear that money can be printed without causing inflation if its unevenly distributed in the economy. This amounts to large scale wealth redistribution to support asset price increases. If you earn dollars for a living, your purchasing power in terms of future dollar income is being eroded. You will purchase a home later or never, you may not be able to afford an education, and your medical expenses will rise ( as will anything that affects future earning power ).

When this ends is anyones guess, it's entirely plausible that we revert to the social systems of prior less equal times, foreign trade moves off the dollar, assets converge to an effective price of infinite dollars, or populists demand their own redistributive policies such as UBI or wealth taxes.

Or the fed meets tomorrow and cuts QE entirely. What is assured is that the current trend is unsustainable and must end eventually.
I agree with the basic take that stock prices are ludicrous, but what's different this time(tm) is that there don't seem to be any alternatives. Bonds are overpriced, real estate is not cheap, and Biden's $1.6T printer go brr money faucet ensures that there's going to be even more money sloshing around for the foreseeable future. Also, whereas the dotcom bubble darlings were all massively unprofitable, this time around the FAANGs are all minting money and even Tesla is eking out steady profits (if not exactly the $1M per car implied by their P/E!).
Those languages wouldn't be considered pure/stateless as intended by the OP.
I'm not sure what happens at the engine level, but also not sure that it matters. As far as I know, Babel translates all `const` and `let` statements to `var` [1]. There's not really any special interpreter functionality required by const because it behaves just like var but with some lexical rules (enforced by the transpiler) and some slight differences in scoping which can also be erased by the transpiler.

> but there clearly still exist JREs.

No, not really. There are runtimes that vendors call JREs, but they don't provide the same functionality as the JRE, only that of a Java runtime. Most of the code that's made the JRE the JRE has never been open-sourced and made part of OpenJDK.

> this claim that the concept no longer exists, confusing at best and disingenuous at worst.

It's not a claim. The JRE is gone. You can scour the OpenJDK source code for the JRE bits. It's just not there. You will find, however, the JRE's worthy successor, jlink. You will also find jpackage. Of course, I didn't mean that the concept is gone from people's minds (and it seems that OpenWebStart is attempting to manifest it in their software), but it isn't in OpenJDK.

True, you can insist on asking your customers to install a Java runtime from some third party, and you can suggest that they share it among various applications, but that's not quite how the JRE used to work, it is not the recommended practice for OpenJDK, and it is confusing and disingenuous to claim that this obstinacy can conjure back the erstwhile JRE. It was great while it lasted, maybe it will come back in some other form in the future, but right now we have something different and better. In time, all Java developers will internalise this fact -- and come to enjoy it, I both hope and trust -- regardless of how long they've done things differently.
Correct, specificity would have served me better. This still looks like a great starting point. I’ll run through this and start looking into how to change the projects into stateless apps for a K8S deployment.
I've been thinking it over off and on for close to a week now, and I'm still no nearer understanding how casting anything about the way I am in terms akin to those of sin, deviance, or culpable personal weakness aids me in convincing a hostile interlocutor not to be so.

In any case, to vote is to exercise power. As I discussed elsewhere in the thread, when reason fails, the best thing with which to counter power is power. Arguments exist on a gradient of rhetorical power, too. And handing someone a rhetorical stick to beat me with just seems like giving a lot of that power away right up front. Why on Earth would I do that in an argument I need to win? Why would anyone?

What you state about "wise people framing things a particular way" being part of a known playbook for spreading Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt, is also a well known tactic for dismissing the concerns of genuinely concerned, yet inconveniently numerous people.

Not that it matters, but if you're going to try to call someone out or discredit them, try not to in the same stroke do the same thing.
> Compare that to the BLM protests on the west coast where unmarked vans of feds were literally rolling up and black bagging people off the street.

Boy, I wonder if the fact that these guys basically just goofed around and took pictures instead of burning down the capitol (like what happened in the Portland courthouse) had any bearing on that.
The "licensed crowd" that advocate for auctioning/licensing the band has lost in US already. However, they are advocating for licensing part of the band in other regions, e.g. Europe/Africa.

Specifically, they are advocating for licensing above 6425 MHz.
Yeah or even just vendorize your dependencies.

> All goes back to Reagan's

Spoken by someone who clearly has not read the Powell Memorandum. Reagan was just following the playbook. It's all right there, out in the open. It goes like clockwork because the real backer for both sides -- mega-corporatism -- wants it. The "culture war" conflicts are considered unimportant, as they have no effect at all on the substance.

Trump is the first on his side to step out of line. It will cost them, but maybe not much. The goal now will be to get people distracted again, so the real work of eliminating people's influence may proceed.
Your media consumption bias is showing. It took months of weekly action for a few feds to show up last summer
It certainly has been interesting. Last I heard, the worst country in Europe in terms of deaths per capita was the Czech Republic, which was also the country everyone pointed to earlier in the pandemic as the European success story which all the other countries in Europe should imitate and which showed they'd all failed miserably at dealing with Covid.
> I'll just point out that for example AWS ASG TargetTracking scaling policy blasts default Kubernetes HPA/CA scaling out of the water.

That doesn't really count as it's a proprietary service controlled by a single service provider.

> I'm confident enough to say that ANY corporation that is not familiar with Kubernetes (...) also increasing the cost of infrastructure for their platform.

That assertion doesn't pass muster because a) you're assuming generalized and widespread inexperience and/or incompetence and b) you're assuming that not being able to learn how to use a service is a permanent state of affairs.

Meanwhile, back in the real world cluster autoscaling works well and does in fact let users shut down nodes they are not using which otherwise would have to be up and cost real money. Kubernetes is the reason why this feature is available to the general public. Until a better alternative appears, Kubernetes is by far the best and only option available to the whole industry.
While I admit that I'd take the money and run too, that kind of approach when viewed from afar looks like a genteel pump and dump.
Only irked about toy projects like terminals on Electron or reinventing the wheel instead of chaining shell commands.

On paging and CPU architectures, these aren't universal or usually supplied with standard libraries. Only serve to obfuscate and concretisize your codebase.

Just optimise your hot paths, let Intel/AMD/whoever make better optimising compilers for what they engineered.
Bell and Xerox are great examples of why. If the ideas were separate entities, Bell or Xerox could have decided which to buy back and run as a business. They didn't decide anything and each idea had to be stolen by a visitor.
I checked that exact wikipedia page before posting the comment :) A factoid to go along with "Oxford university predates the Aztec empire" and so on.
The Snowden documents explicitly point to heavy effort going into monitoring internet use by passengers on airplanes, including using information about connecting flights to connect passengers to MAC addresses. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if they were doing a bit of work to make sure that the actual content is readable. It's barely a conspiracy theory.
All it needs is the postman confusing two packages (or the wrong phone in the correct parcel) and a stranger has total access to your account.
The students were conforming. As this paper [1] explains, people -- especially young people -- will often answer incorrectly in order to gain social acceptance:

"...the group answered incorrectly on purpose; it appears that when we are unsure of how to perform a task or how to behave, we may take comfort in agreeing with a large number of other people."

"Although FCC rules “do not require licensees to implement capabilities to support law enforcement beyond those outlined in CALEA…,” Hastings noted, “[n]evertheless, Gogo worked with federal agencies to reach agreement regarding a set of additional capabilities to accommodate law enforcement interests. Gogo then implemented those functionalities into its system design.”"

Have you factored in the reduction in cost from the removal of means-testing and other red tape? If it starts at the same level as current unemployment benefits, and the income tax threshold is lowered by the same amount, then it would be cheaper.
This blog post is a slap in the face of all the inventors who may not be good businessmen or may not have a good product sense. Being an apple fan boy and all I understand, but discounting things that Apple doesn't do or doesn't have the capabilities/inclination to do is just retarded.

Apple would be no where without the technologies it DID NOT invent or work backwards for all of its products. Standing on the shoulders of other giants and making good products on top should be acknowledged and something to be grateful for, not minimized so arrogantly.

If only Steve Wozniak could comment on this, I feel he would violently disagree with Gruber.
Nope, computer end-points keep going back and forth between thick client and thin client. They both have advantages and disadvantages, depending on relative cost of hardware and how hard it is to maintain the code.

For the first example to parse, wouldn't it need to be "(Texas) Appeals (Court's Rule of phone search)..." or something along those lines? That is, the grouping doesn't parse correctly without at least a possessive apostrophe which the Title lacks. I'm failing to detect a correct parsing under the grouping you offer. I'm not sure that a parsing path that requires parsing errors can be considered the more likely for the reader to take. In my case, I parsed it correctly from the beginning.

This was tried, during various revolutions that included the phase of killing the rich people and collectivizing their wealth. I worry your suggestion here would end up being used the same way - with prominent CEOs getting their companies auctioned from under them by angry mobs.

Recently I read the book "Shoe Dog" and was curious who one of the characters were (Sarah).

I couldn't find it on Google, and was surprised that either nobody on the internet had talked about it, or Google had just become so bad for deep searches that it could only give me results about shoes and people named Sarah.

Maybe this had to do with why... And if so, I guess I have to just get used to not being able to satisfy my curiosity.
My sense of purpose comes from self improvement (learning new skills, improving skills I already know), it has very little to do with my work anymore. I believe it's dangerous to tie your self worth and purpose to your job. Working in the corporate/private sector will only drain you when you realize the company you work for treats you like a resource rather than a human being. So my advice is find purpose outside of your work, and use your work as a means to fund your needs/hobbies/interest, rather than your purpose for existing.
I’m sure someone is operating a company doing this already. Opposition research is a thing.
You can find companies/projects that while "driven by profit" still make good things, things that genuinely help or enrich peoples' life. You don't have to jump to the other extreme and work on harmful projects. Can also work for non-profit companies as well.

On a more personal level as a programmer there's always some exciting problem to solve, something that can be optimised. Also, being in the games industry I get to interact with a lot of artists which is something I've always looked for.
Disclaimer: infrastructure secrets management is my profession.

This is a lot harder problem than people realize.

If you have a fixed set of machines that need secrets, then encrypting a bag of secrets with each machine's private key works ok.

But in auto scaling / automated / ephemeral scenarios, it doesn't work. You need an RBAC scheme for machines that builds layers of trust; each machine is placed into a role by a trusted service, script or person. Communication between the machines and the secrets service is verified TLS. Each event of access to, or modification of, a secret is recorded for audit purposes. And people and machines should both be treated as first-class actors.

Furthermore, secrets should be kept off permanent media; per the 12factor guidelines, secrets should come from environment variables.

Don't entangle secrets management with other tools like configuration management; otherwise you impede yourself from switching architectures down the road.

Don't create workflows that only ops can control, leaving developers out in the cold, or you are increasing organizational friction.

And if your secrets management processes are opaque to security and compliance people, then they won't have the same level of trust that they would have in a transparent system.

Here's an example of how we approach the problem: http://blog.conjur.net/chef-cookbook-uploads-with-conjur

I have my phone number and mailing address on my Facebook, set to friends only.

Why not? When I grew up, we had a phone book listing everyone’s name and address and phone number so you could find them to contact.

I consider all of this essentially public information and would rather make it easier for people I know to contact me. If it gets lost in a breach, whatever. I already get plenty of junk mail because I give to charities and they sell my address.
front-end dev squarely falls into the realm of IT. What's your motivation to separate or "gatekeep" these fields?
Only thing I really hate about PostgreSQL (probably not specific to it) is the lack of visibility into triggers. Give me jaeger style tracing for each trigger with per statement durations and I would be a very happy dev.
I recommend that you read about flow then.

The original idea of flow(in the zone) comes from this book and author, but is obsolete now:

https://www.amazon.com/Flow-Psychology-Experience-Perennial-...

I recommend this book and audiobook about gammification to understand flow better.

https://www.amazon.com/Reality-Broken-Games-Better-Change/dp...

Whatever breaks the game in your work, stops the flow. For example, instant feedback is very hard to get creating software unless you design for it(like using REPLs and reusing almost everything).

Other things that the book mentions break your game too(not having clear rules, being alone)...

Another important thing is thinking too much rationally. The logical mind is so slow getting results that you break the instant feedback.

Also working too much in low level has way slower feedback than working with higher level languages. I metaprogram lower level languages for this reason, I am orders of magnitude faster.

>The zone isn't about stress per se.

Sorry, I was not eloquent enough. when I talk about stress I am referring to stress in general: Mental, emotional, or physical stress.

That is, if you are doing something difficult mentally, you stress your brain.

For every stress you need time to recover.

You can do 10 hours without recovering if the stress is low. If the stress is high, you will only be able to do 4 hours.

It is very easy to understand, you can walk for 8 hours, but you can not run for 10 hours. A marathon is about 4 hours or less.

What I am telling you is that if you run for 4 hours hard mentally and do not recover, you will not be able to work another 4 hours of hard work, unless you rest.

Nothing will do, no technique will do unless you rest.

Of course you need to do right lots of other things too. But don't say it is impossible just because you can not do it.
Don't do anything obviously complex with your RDBMS and migrations are free. If all you need is a few views, tables and FKs, then migration between RDBMS' should be low effort if you have a decent RSM or ORM to plug behind it. And even with more efforted things, I've written low-effort migrations from and to various RDBMS', it's not black magic.

The little time upfront is "use pgsql unless there is a good reason not to" as your first choice.
I generally agree philosophically but PHP has a couple of features which make problems more likely: the C style error handling increases the odds of problems being ignored (yes, Python can have except:pass but that’s more obvious & requires intent) and the mushy typing hits even experienced developers who didn’t think about whether they needed === instead of ==. The standard library’s inconsistent parameter ordering for related functions probably deserves a mention here, too.

I started using PHP around 1998 and quit cold-turkey about a decade later for Python after noticing across the board quality improvements on every project. PHP isn’t terrible but using it requires constant diligence and few teams had the extra time and skills to use it safely.
This is an incredibly hard list to crack, and I don't think the author took their task seriously. I think, instead, they went with things that might be interesting to get angry about. Misphrasing or being rude during an interview is bad, for instance, but how did it leap above all the lies produced by laziness? For example:

It's not sexy -- which is precisely why journalists simply lie to you about it. You don't care, they don't care, no one really cares except experts and the PR company that gives them the story. And it happens in almost every field of expertise (I notice it a lot more in sciences, but that probably only reflects my relative expertise in that cluster of ideas).
at a casual pace with the help of a 3-5 friends, it might be about 15-30 minutes to raise a small DOME KIT. a big DOME KIT might take a bit longer, say 45 minutes with 5-7 people. we've seen highly-coordinated groups complete the challenge in less than 10 minutes.
I'm not sure it is a big deal if you expose both to Google. There is a setting in webmaster tools that lets you explicitly set which you prefer: example.com or www.example.com

What's the problem with Android 2.2 on the Eris? All it says is "No upgrade available", this is pretty ambiguous. Do you mean that there is no upgrade to 2.2 on the Eris and that's the problem? There are 2.2 roms that run on it (I'm running one); if I have a build of 2.2 on my Eris, will it work?
I just placed an order on the site and the confirmation said you would email me. Oddly, I don't remember giving you my email address in any of the forms. Am I missing something?
