It led to the Soviet economy being unable to keep up with the arms race for one thing. It also made economic diversification far more difficult, which was actually their downfall. They weren't lacking for labor, their economy was wildly unproductive, just as it is today. It was overwhelmingly dependent on hydrocarbons.

It wasn't the arms race that bankrupted the Soviet Union. It was the dollar, which collapsed the price of oil. During the 1970s oil boom, the Soviets made the mistake of making their economy particularly dependent on oil. Paul Volcker's efforts to tame US inflation collapsed the artificial price of oil as the dollar regained its strength.

It's the exact same thing in concept that recently kicked Putin's oil economy into a recession. Namely, a strong dollar, in this case from the belief that the Fed is going to raise rates meaningfully (and beginning shortly after they ended QE). That recent strong dollar perfectly coincided with a record collapse in the price of oil, just as it did in the 1980s.

Here is the brick wall the Soviet oil economy slammed into (note the spike begins with the destruction of the US dollar under Nixon, and ends with Volcker's inflation taming via extremely high interest rates):

Without significant economic diversification, there was no chance the Soviet economy was going to survive such an intense shock. On the flip side, the US benefited tremendously by the collapse in the price of oil and the taming of high inflation. That combination helped to spark the mid-late 1980s economic boom in the US.

I appreciate all these new incarnations of old school tools but end up sticking with the basics regardless. When I'm sshing into a box to figure out whats going on, my toolset is mostly limited to top, find, xargs, awk, grep, df, du etc. Even local development now, I'm mostly debugging on a docker container running alpine or ubuntu.

Knowing the right incantations is useful in that context and keeps me from installing better tools until they become part of the distro we deploy with.
I knew a guy who was a software engineer for Wikipedia back in uni. At least back then (around 2011 or so) they were flying him and other software engineers working for them to conferences across the world to Europe. Not only that but the guy booked the tickets on a premium airline business class. He said that everyone did that. You'd think working for a non profit you'd be looking at discount airline economy class tickets.
I'd take a counter under the following scenarios:

1) Company knows they are going to eliminate a team within XX months. I'd take a huge counter (3x salary) to stay on to help shutdown a project or sell the company. 2-3x salary in these cases are fairly normal when a company gets sold and they just need help transitioning to the new parent company.

2) Company offers a severance package along with it. E.g., we'll give you a salary bump and a 12-month severance if we let you go without cause, within one year.

However, I've been on both sides, and I've offered a counteroffer to anyone who is leaving and I wanted to keep. Any company who doesn't do that probably doesn't have good developers who are constantly getting recruited on LinkedIn.

So:

- Without TTD, I can inspect values in the call stack where I set a breakpoint

- With TTD, I can inspect values in my whole program, and can jump back/forward in time to see how those values changed

Is that right?
It would be even nicer to have an opensource project that pushes a set of these tools, that then can get picked up by the distros such that in 5 year you can expect these all to be included at a reasonable version such that you do not have to install them by hand on each machine that you land on.

On the other hand, you may want to keep some smart dotfiles around that installs them in ~/bin

In our case, we wanted something more compact, so a query looks more like GraphQL (it's technically a superset of JSON, but it usually doesn't look like JSON). Joins, for example, are just nested declarations that list which attributes on the joined collections to fetch. Here's a query that shows many of the features:

*[_type == "blogpost" && published == true] {
_id, title,

"bodyExcerpt": regexReplace(body, "(.+?)(\. |$)", "\\1"),

author -> { name, category },

"sectionNames": sections -> name
} | order(createdAt desc)[0..20]

I don't know much about N1QL, I will have to read more about it.
In my mind Ridley Scott's decision to include the voiceover in the film more or less disqualifies him from rendering a final judgement about this stuff.

Scott is an interesting filmmaker. Blade Runner and Alien are two of the best films ever made in my opinion. Everything else he's done is amateurish in comparison (also in my opinion), even the successful/fun stuff.

This makes me wonder whether there's something behind the greatness of those two films other than his direction. Maybe the writer/crew/cast/studio/producers had more power in his earlier films and used that power wisely?

There's an interesting passage on the wikipedia article for Alien:

> Scott had wanted the Alien to bite off Ripley's head and then make the final log entry in her voice, but the producers vetoed this idea as they believed the Alien should die at the end of the film.

All that aside, it's not always clear who "owns" a film. The director tends to get a lot of credit, but film-making is collaborative, and who's to say that the screenwriter doesn't get to decide what the film is really about?

Yes, you do need the vendor's place-and-route. PAR performance is as good as you could expect though.

Most complaints about vendor software are closer to the front of the flow. Examples...

* Poor language support (applies for both SystemVerilog and VHDL)

* Not enough transparency and access to primitives and IP blocks, resulting in poor ability to automate

* Generally buggy elaboration and synthesis results, sometimes even causing the tool to crash

My opinion is that the FPGA companies spend too much money improving the HLS (c-to-gates) and IP wizard experience, in an attempt to make their devices more accessible to the mythical software engineer who wants to use an FPGA.

They should have spent that time and money supporting language standards, and improving the RTL experience, which is how most engineers use their products.
Middle managers may turn to unethical behavior to face unrealistic expectations
True dat. What's worse is that I've seen some companies have a strict HR policy of not allowing out-of-band raises unless a physical letter of resignation was received. So some folks would try to negotiate with their front-line managers only to get rebuffed unless they actually resigned. Then they would pour out the counteroffers. None would ever take it in that scenario.

I wrote some of the tools on coldtea's list, and I'm pretty much the same way in that I stick to distro tooling in vanilla setups. But I spend enough time on my local workstation that having "better" (read: creature comforts) is worth it there! But yeah, if you spend most of your time in vanilla setups, then tools not in the standard distro repos are a hard sell.
I'd be happy to work with them and help dramatically lower their costs by using my network...
At least one version of Robert Zubrin's Mars Direct[1] plan calls for attaching the crew module to the booster stage with a tether and then spinning them to provide artificial gravity. This diagram is a good visual explanation: https://spectrum.ieee.org/ns/slideshows/06W_Slide_GoToMars2/... [2].

I'd disagree with your use on retcon here. It's more the other way around: the voiceovers are a pre-publication retcon.

To take an example nothing to do with replicants: it's only the voice over that says Deckard could understand what Gaff is saying. This completely spoils the revelation at the end that Gaff speaks English perfectly well.

Declare is on the back foot for the entire movie. The theatrical cut desperately tries to blunt that, making for a confused experience.

If you haven't gotten caught up in the criminal justice system, it's hard to appreciate how easy it is to get falsely accused of something.

Then you have a different usage pattern than I do. For simple name globbing, I usually just use shell globs, e.g.

It might be marginally slower than find or FD, but it usually doesn't matter because I usually deal with a small number of files.

This api has inspired this idea:

Ever notice most new health care provider visits still require a ton of paper work?

Use mobile app to take a picture of their arbitrary form, use OpenCV to interpret it as as real data structure, autofill it from a personal database, and print it out on one of those tiny portable printers, and hand it back to them.

To try and make it viral: When used to process a form, the app also generates a web site for that office. Then anyone can search for dr. lowtech’s office and use the site to form and print them at home before coming in.

Each printed form would have a header/footer asking the provider to register on the site, at which point it could become an official entry point into the system and leverage other efficiencies. Some hipaa stuff applies but nothing insurmountable.

I guess everyone else here also has 10 ideas a day pop into their head for a startup. So on to the next one...
Thanks for the well thought out response. Your second point about class definitions and ease of testing is making me reconsider my using decorators for HOC's.

To your first point, I would say the HOC's as decorators would be very easy to code mod as well. Just go to ever file with decorators on my components and rewrite it to use _.fp.pipe() or apply them longhand or whatever. It probably couldn't comfortably be done in an automated fashion but it would be straightforward and not require a lot of thought.

And to the third point I have never had those not work right when using connect. I would be interested in an example even if it's just a stack overflow question where it came up.
I’m not really bothered about speed. Just reliability. If my home broadband could actually stay up then I’d be able to work from home without tethering to a phone in order to get a reliable connection.
This looks really good and the demo is really effective.

Shameless plug: I've also recently been working with PDFs - a PDF template creator and API [0] - but I have a different use case in mind.

The EarthCent Ambassador Series (12 books so far, all since 2014) feature a few different types of AI, the main one being the Strix. The Strix were created by an alien race to resist another AI created to fight a war but which got out of hand and had been taking over the galaxy. In the series the Strix keep the peace in a big chunk of the galaxy. I enjoy the series as fairly light and humorous reading where you know there will be a happy ending (if maybe "Deus ex Strix" sometimes). It indirectly raises some issue about what life would be like under a benevolent but superpowerful AI. The first one is "Date Night on Union Station (EarthCent Ambassador #1)" where one of the Strix decides to run a dating service... Humans in this series are the latest group to join "the tunnel network" run by the Strix and are essentially the most backward and naive species in the contacted galaxy; a lot of the stories revolve around humans gradually finding their footing on the galactic scene. I'm not sure I agree the market-driven exchange-based economic models in the series are feasible with so much technology and AI around, but I try to suspend disbelief on that for the humor and other enjoyable aspects.

It's pretty clear cut. It just doesn't batter you around the head with it the way the Sixth Sense does.

One of my favourite details: there are only five* "healthy human specimens" in the entire movie. Everyone else is fat, old, scarred, suffering from a degenerative disease.

Deckard would probably notice this if he had any friends. Instead, he stays home and drinks surrounded by photographs.

Awesome. Sorry I should’ve dug a little deeper before commenting. Nice job on the multithreading also!
Interesting start to the article, but kind of annoyed I read to the end to find its basically a teaser for Kelly's book, and the stuff about his health problems etc. is never followed up on. Wish they'd at least put that at the top of the article.
lobster nice, sorry for my bad english, is not native language :), in delta each message can be just appended to their past versions (binary format, not parsing required and based on flatbuffers) , in the same memory or disk region, which I have called a superposition (a superstition can represent any resource) you can see an image here https://github.com/nebtex/delta/blob/master/docs/version-lin..., each time that you append a message the tables in the new message are linked to their immediate past version if they exist (you can see tables like nested messages on protobuff), but if a deletion message of that table is found it does not create the link, when the program tries to find a field in a table it lookups in the latest message firsts and then go to past version till it found something, I believe that this should be fast due to how cache works in the modern computer architectures (still not tested), the superposition can be compacted to a single message, in order to free space, also the compaction can run in parallel if you have a lot of messages, for example is possible to maintain all the mutation of the db in a distribuited log, and if people need to recreate the latest state or any past state, should be a fast operation due that is possible to use all the nodes availables. I need to work in a better doc for sure, if someone has some recommendation to give me it will really nice, hehe.
It really shouldn't cost /that/ much more. If there were actual competition in a sane market the price would be practically whatever share of the electricity for powering the network infrastructure along the path plus some part replacement overhead and a small profit margin.

That's why the natural monopoly of the last mile should be owned by the municipality (the people in the area) and competition should begin at designated peering points where backbone access can be brokered in an actually competitive way.

That's why I wrote about it being nice to have them all in distros -- perhaps in a single package like coreutils.

Then wherever you are, they'd be just a "package-manager install rustutils" away.

Generally, if one is not an admin of random hodgepodge of systems (e.g. in big enterprises), then you are:

(1) doing work on your own workstation

(2) administering machines you control the provision (e.g. a person administering a startup's Cloud servers)

(3) doing development on some kind of vm

In those cases you can quite easily install a bundle package and make sure those tools are there.

I, for one, don't go out in unknown systems day after day -- even if we have 100s of servers we manage, we DO manage them.
I mean, maybe it's just the culture I am used to, but I would expect everyone/anyone to be looking at discount airline economy class tickets by default.
Off-topic, but I do the same with student evaluations (I teach at a research university). This seems to be human nature: good reviews tend to be fairly generic ("nice", "clear", etc) but bad reviews are usually very specific.

On the flip side, when I write reviews, be it a product review on Amazon or in a referee report, I always try to include specifics in positive reviews.
It's not a find replacement at all, even!

fzf just actually calls find by default, so a naked call to fzf will actually give you the same results as find | fzf.

Search specifically for directories, that's find -type d | fzf.
But delivery problems usually have nothing to do with the seller and will happen pretty much to any product at random.
