It is entirely reasonable to expect that operation in places like (hypothetical) Venezuela, Pakistan or Jordan would be more accident-prone. And that's not accounting for very substantial chance of the sites ending up in warzones.

For example, in my native Belarus on a new plant project they dinged the reactor vessel in installation a couple of times already. Three workers have died in process of construction so far. Can't say I'm looking forward to its operation.

I say even coal does not have as long lasting effect when replaced by cleaner tech (e.g. natural gas) as a nuclear fallout site.

Can anyone think of some criticism for simply storing an API key and secret in localstorage for a web client? It's 50% bridging the gap between using cookies and a normal API and 50% simplifying frontends. The scheme I'm currently using on a project goes like this:

1. Web client ("offline-first" SPA app) hits HTTPS backend in with username and password

2. Web client receives a a generated API key and secret, which expires in a week/month/whatever.

3. That API key and secret gets stored in localstorage on the client-side by the web app for future use (as long as they're logged in)

4. Web client includes the API key and header in requests to the HTTPS backend of the app.

Of course, there are more specifics that could be added like device fingerprinting, invaliding old web-created tokens when a new one is created, and classifying api keys/secrets to certain devices, but I think those things are ancillary.

This is obviously very very close to what a cookie would be, and the only way I could see it going catastrophically wrong is the browser being compromised (whether the vector is XSS, or some other leaky surface on the user's computer). Regular cookies and JWT have the same issues.

I can't think of a failure mode that's any worse than HTTPS cookies or JWT, and it is dead simple. I've really been trying to find some flaws in that plan lately but I can't.

Counterintuitively, the City of London isn't truly part of Greater London - it's maybe closer to the financial equivalent of the Vatican State in Rome.

In some ways it isn't even part of England or the UK. It has its own administrative, legal, and financial structures, it owns significant prime land around the rest of London, it has its own police force, and it even has its own political representative in Westminster (unelected, of course).

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

People are often confused by this, because if they think about it at all they assume the City is a trading district where the banks live.

But it's a lot more than that. Its role in British and world history is huge. Its influence is also shadowy and relatively poorly documented, which is an interesting thing in itself.

Are We Living Inside a Computer Simulation?
Closest in spirit to make, and does essentially all you want to do is "redo", concept drafter by djb, implemented independently by apenwarr[0] and by others. apenwarr's version has a super short "do" script (a couple of hundred lines of portable sh IIRC) which uses the same configuration but does a full rebuild each time.

The two weak points are: (1) multiple outputs from a compilation step (yytab.c yytab.h from yacc) is not properly supported, and (2) no windows support. Other than that it's the perfect minimalistic make replacement -- what make should have been.

Additionally, there tup[1]. With some assumptions about the build process that usually hold in non-distributed builds, it is the fastest, simplest make replacement; You just write a list of commands that builds your final outputs, and by tracing the processes it figures out exactly what needs to be done next time -- nothing more, and nothing less.

Running time-series database on 32-core machine (16M writes/second)
I'm an experimentalist. For me, it feels too hard to reason about code. I prefer to see what happens until an error occurs, and for some reason I feel a lot more incentivized to reason about why it goes wrong at that moment. With experimenting I can ask questions about the context, hence I don't need to remember the context. Also, I'm not sure if I have the memory to remember the context. All I know is that I process information quite well, but my active memory is quite limited.

For example, I learned about pointers by debugging them and coerceing random memory addresses (which were ints) into pointers. Once the concept was learned, I could reason about it.

So nowadays I can reason about code, provided I understand the concept. But I learn about the concept by debugging/experimenting -- in most cases.

> There's no reasonable way to say FB should have less engineers without being a high level director of the company

I'm going to assume you don't literally mean only company directors can levy logical criticisms of a company.

Consider the fact that the FB app itself was built with a very small team to begin with and only once it became 80-90% feature-complete did the exponential growth in engineers suddenly become "needed".

I can understand why Microsoft needs tons of engineers. OSes are complicated and have lots of moving parts (drivers, file systems, kernel, etc) that are all absolutely required and must be constantly updated, even without bringing their other products into it. But Facebook? At its core, it's a single webapp that serves simple relatively static pages. Yes, at web scale, so it's not entirely trivial.

My explanation is that Google and Facebook face a similar dilemma: most of their revenue comes from a single, relatively simple core product. To really optimize that core product, they might need a couple of dozen highly skilled engineers, along with a lot of equipment to scale it.

But that's not why they hire thousands. It's because they're both constantly trying to branch out for growth. In terms of revenue it is fair to say that strategy has been a failure for Google and except for a few of the "bells and whistles" FB has added like IM, probably for them as well. This problem is caused by the way that tech companies are primarily valued by perceived growth potential rather than actual earnings. They can get away with hiring lots of useless people because capital costs in this industry are fairly low.
Seibel's observation that reading code is less like literature and more like science is dead on. No matter how readable the code is, when I'm confronted with 10,000 lines of it spread across numerous encapsulated functions, I must tackle it very differently from how I read prose. With a complex literary text, I can just read it in linear fashion with occasional segueing to look up words and concepts, with well-engineered code I must follow numerous cases into different flows of logic. These aren't the same at all.

I appreciate that he's trying to dispel the idea that we "read" code as we read for pleasure, I learn from code by experimenting with it. I open up the debugger and step through it, watch the variables change and see where it goes when I execute it. Most of all, I learn by changing that code and trying to build on it. I have enhanced my javascript skills immensely in recent years by cloning various projects on github and trying to expand on them or adopt them to my own purposes. I don't recommend opening up a code base and just reading it, actively engage it, break it, and enhance it.

> I'd say the biggest problem isn't the immigrants, it's the education system and the culture.

H1B's are good to hire because there is the threat of having to leave, and losing ability to go for green card if they are fired. So they accept low wages, you don't have to give them pay rises, they will not leave for another company.

This is ripe for abuse. So its not just education and culture, its also government immigration policies -- and this is not the fault of the immigrants -- no-one is saying the immigrants are at fault here...

Something like that is possible, but you'd have to probably build your own battery and power circuitry; most USB power packs shut off after a few minutes without any current draw, and you need to press a physical button to turn them back on.

You can also have two packs and judiciously swap them out every week or so. That's my plan for a video I want to record later this year.

"Saul engagingly explains the current woes of democracy, especially in Canada, the U.S., and Britain. He argues from history and philosophy that the democratic meaning of individualism has been obscured and the importance of economics overemphasized throughout the twentieth century. With Socrates, he maintains that in a democracy, citizenship is the incumbent duty and government the great responsibility of the individual. Minding one's own business and getting the government off one's back are derelictions of democracy that reflect infatuation with corporatism, the brand of utopianism exemplified by Mussolini's fascism, with its melding of huge business interests and government to achieve the managed society. Privatization as a remedy for government inefficiency and the conception of individualism as the capacity to purchase consumer goods bespeak corporatism's present power, for both reduce citizenship and place control with managers accountable primarily for the bottom line, not the public good. There are many more compelling--and disquieting--ideas in this exciting, though discursive, little book." Ray Olson

I didn't realize the displays were more or less self-contained (with a builtin/COG controller) and could be driven directly like LCDs or VFDs etc and that that board was the "kitchen sink" test/dev breakout kit.
