Properly type lodash or ramda's curry in TS. All the versions I find basically make 5+ overload and a sloppy fallback. Flow can actually type it correctly but so few people know, even the flow typed version doesn't do it (last I checked).

There is also plenty of awkward places. Take the Apollo React HOC which can be used for query or mutations. It only achieve this by giving you an object that can be one or the other but you have to know which one you're getting.

Another common example is the redux case. You have the store which is of a type. The HoC gives you a function that takes an argument of that type. Nothing links the two though because it wasn't designed with types in mind, so you have to specify the type yourself (essentially a pinky swear). If it was designed with types in mind, the HOC/connect function would be created from the store, thus providing proper type safety.

Examples like this are pervasive. You can "type" most things, but in many cases you have to rely on sloppy methods that look type safe but really aren't.

If you write stuff with TS in mind from scratch, and use strict mode, it's another story. The type system is quite good.

There's an interesting side effect I've seen that a serverless approach enables, which is that it is now much easier to logically separate your various routes and logic to "route handlers" or "services".

However, if you naturally extend your system with these logically separated handlers in a vacuum, which is easy to do, and you have not thought through your packaging and dependency management, you can quickly fall into a pattern of producing a lot of duplicate boilerplate and utility functionality that a monolith would have avoided. Basically, take all the pain points and downsides of SOA and make it really easy to make all the mistakes.

That said, when approached with foresight, it's a perfectly manageable problem and I wouldn't agree that it is linear.
The thumb trackballs are on bearings with higher static friction than the logitech thumb balls. You get used to it, but immediately feel the difference if you go back to a logitech. The buttons are great though, I remapped the middle-click away from the track wheel because with the 4-way wheel it's much harder to middle click, since my elecom has 3 non-scrollwheel buttons it still works great.

There's a forthcoming linux kernel fix to get the right button to work on the EX-G models.

The UI and behavior is amazingly close to the real thing. But I cannot help but sigh when the brush tool lags more than Paint lagged on a 233 MHz Celeron.

Exactly. The comparison to non-US based projects is inadequate. California and other US states need to "earn the right" to spend this much money on one single monstrous project by proving it can handle smaller projects with 100% cost accuracy. BART extensions, LA Metro Rail and projects in the smaller cities should have near 1-to-1 precision in planning cost to implementation, before going after the big kahuna. Jerry Brown wanted to galvanize the population but instead it has bred cynicism state and nation-wide. Oh, and it will cost over $100 billion in taxpayer dollars before it's completed.

I think this can only be a good thing. A depressing percentage of people have no idea that "recycling" is, for the most part, a lie, and that up until now most things you "recycled" just went in a dump like everything else, except it was a dump in China. A wake-up call as to the reality of the situation should encourage better practices.

Mine is set to update on WiFi only. And everyday, without fail, the moment I plug my phone into a power source in the evening (could even be to my computer for debugging), it'll start going through and applying all available updates. The performance impact is always noticeable during the duration of the updates.

Other common case is when I pull into my driveway/office and happen to be charging my phone in the car and it gets into WiFi range. Boom, update everything time.

Google supposedly knows everything about my daily routine, and yet, somehow can't predict when I won't be using my phone. Even something super dumb like, screen off > 2 hours && battery > 80% && connected to wifi would make my autoupdate life much better.

Apple has the opposite problem. "Hey, your computer needs to restart, [Restart Now], [Remind me tomorrow]". [Remind me tomorrow] doesn't mean, oh I noticed that your computer went into sleep before tomorrow I'm going to restart it now. Thanks Apple, I had unsaved state open.

Ironically enough, Microsoft seems to have gotten the apply updates/restart frustration down. Maybe it's from all the flak they've gotten over the years.

there is a technology available called thermal depolymerization that can convert some of this into energy. I could never figure out if it was not net positive for the only reason it isn't done. Even if it isn't net positive, if they placed the recycling center near an area with surplus electricity, and melt it down into some fuel on low peaks, I think that would be a positive. Would somebody please tell me if its feasible?

It probably plays a role in soil pollution and ground water contamination, china has more than just air pollution problems.

In addition to closeparen's point that such autonomous cars will be electric, they will also have much lower mantenance costs due to the lower internal complexity of doing away with the ICE.
You're completely right, if your workload is even so you can get 15 servers installed and use them all year you're better off using bare metal.

However if you have uneven load - say you're in accounting and you need 5 servers most of the time, but 50 in the runup to year end, you will save money in the cloud rather than having 50 servers requiring power and patching and 45 idle.

There are also other benefits to doing things in the cloud. When you start treating machines as disposable you're forced to automate setup. When you've automated setup you no longer patch machines - you get a new patched base image, run the setup, then simply replace the old machines.
"Recycling is largely ineffective for substances that aren't aluminum" is just the tip of the iceberg as far as truths we never mention in polite company. I'm looking forward to a phase change into a society that's more honest with itself.
MSPaint had some hidden treasures. The first thing I tried was the right-click-while-drawing-cancel feature. Alas. Love seeing the old graphics however.
Even for purely resistive loads, power is proportional to the square of the voltage:

P = V * I

But,

I = V / R

So,

P = V * (V / R)
= V^2 / R
You could do cropping in Paint since at least the Win95 version. The method was the same I use with Paint to this very day: a combination of canvas resize handles and moving the image contents. Basically, after pasting the picture, I would use the selection that is automatically activated (if you lose it, CTRL+A to select all) to crop out top and left parts of the image, by positioning the top-left corner of what I care about at the top-left corner of the canvas. I would then use the bottom-right "resize canvas" handle to crop out the rest.

BOTTOS (Tim Draper investment) – hidden crypto gem? New project from CMO of NEO
Bottos is working on a platform that can be used by any AI project to acquire, share and process big data in an inexpensive way using BTO tokens. Users can request new assets as well as monetize their existing assets on the marketplace. The data is verified by other members and rated using the internal ranking system.

During the ICO in December 2017, Bottos could be purchased at $0.11 per token. It has already hit over $0.50 and is currently trading at around $0.20. With launches coming in March (test network) and May (main network) and NEO’s Chief Marketing Officer (Tingting Wang) on board, Bottos move up in the rankings massively. Furthermore, Tim Draper, one of the best VCs in the world, has invested in it.

Add the fact that they’re only listed on 3 exchanges with Gate.io being the biggest one (currently ranked at #24 based on 24h volume) and you’ve got a lot of room for growth...

You can buy it on Bibox right now:

Recycling Chaos in U.S. As China Bans 'Foreign Waste' (npr.org)

It sounds like recycling will be going to the dump until someone is willing to process it for slightly less money.
You’re bored? Read a book.
And of course, if you use any of these, the lock in is ridiculous. Also known as "they have you by the b....", and if one thing is damned sure the result will not be saving money, complexity or effort. Or savings of any kind whatsoever.

If you have a simple website and need a key-value store, with a few clicks you can configure a DynamoDB instance -- 50 reads+writes/second will cost around $30/month. Most companies would be hard pressed to set up any open source KV store with 24x7 availability, cross-datacenter replication + backups as well as keeping it patched for less than $360/year.

For a small shop without much (or any) operational support, AWS can save money, complexity and effort.

For a larger company with significant load, then it may be cheaper to host the services they need themselves, but the scalability of Amazon services means that's purely a financial decision, not a technical decision -- by the time you start to outgrow the capacity of amazon hosted services, you're generally past the point where it's worth it to host your own.

And while bare metal may be cheaper, when you own bare metal, you own it 24x7 - you can't scale your infrastructure 3X to handle daytime peak load, or scale it 10X for a day to handle end of quarter processing then scale it back down the next day and stop paying for all of that hardware.

Of course, cloud computing is not a panacea and not a perfect fit for all use cases but there are many use cases where it makes sense and can reduce cost and complexity and make it easier to address scalability and redundancy.
