I have a home internet connection that is a resold AT&T U-Verse connection. I doubt any of these fixes are available to me -- the extremely user-hostile equipment provides essentially no user-configurable options, and I have been told it has no switched mode, not even a secret one. So there's no way I can introduce my own router hardware unless I want to be double-NATted.

(Also, it has a broken caching DNS server, and forces that broken server into its DHCP responses; the server it returns is not user-configurable.)

So what's an ordinary consumer to do?

A sensible response is for national regulators to cap credit card interchange rate. Banks are free to offer more generous rewards, just they can't fund it via the retailer.

The EU's cap is 0.3%, Australia's was 0.55%.

By comparison, typical credit card interchange rates in the US are 2%+.

> I don't know what you would lose by having if as an expression

Well, if you turn if into an expression the way that you indicated then now you will also need the equivalent of the “begin” expression in order to be able to have multiple statements and/or expressions in either branch.

So then you are breaking backwards compatibility. Which makes it a non-starter from the get go.

And like I said there is also the fact that functions need the return keyword in Python if you want to return a value.

I'm not disputing that a longer method is fine. But booleans going into a method makes it hard to tell what the method is doing. Every call needs to call explicitly what it needs. Every method needs to also tell exactly what it does. State is the enemy of understanding what code does, the deeper the state lies, the harder it is to unravel.
The '()'s are not always needed though, as in the PEP examples `(y := f(x), x/y)` and `(x := 0, x := 1)`.

The alternative `f(x) as y` syntax looked nice to my eyes, and doesn't introduce new symbols. However I'm sure they are right, that it would have bad corner cases.

Yeah that doesn't actually mean anything. There are plenty of people forgotten by time and their ancestors who lived perfectly fulfilling lives with their friends and family. They never got remembered in history books. Not that I'm saying their choices were worse but if you want to be remembered in history books, you don't just sit around making friends and family.

Because 220W just for your home network is hilarious. I mean I feel dumb often because my little pfsense box pulls about 15W.

You can turn a Stream<T> into an Iterator<T>, and since Iterable<T> is a functional interface whose single method supplies an Iterator<T>, you can make an Iterable<T> by wrapping a Stream<T> in a simple lambda:

Iterable<ProductDisplayInfo> getDisplayList(List<Product> products) {
return () -> products.stream()
.filter(p -> p.getCategory() == 2 || p.getCategory() == 5 && isProductUnderDiscount(p))
.map(ProductDisplayInfo::new)
.iterator();
}

It's difficult for me to take this seriously having seen the effect of 10 years of social media on the US. I would personally welcome such a tax, and from my perspective, if anything, it disproportionately benefits the poor.

>Meanwhile, Hynix, Samsung, and Micron are all planning to reduce capacity relative to projected growth of demand

Unless you have evidence to support this, all the company above you listed has have expansion capacity planned and made during the last two years.

>That's exactly how it's supposed to work. Every manufacturer is individually incentivized to increase supply to increase their own relative share of the market.

And they are. Yes, there may be a cartel going on. But it is a simple fact demand is outstripping supply. And no memory maker are willing to invest money into building fabs. Because building a new Fabs along with leading node is increasingly expensive. Moore's law didn't just ended for CPU, it is for all semiconductor companies. All current Memory makers has roadmap that will add 30% plus bit capacity to NAND without even making a new Fab with 3D NAND. GDDR Memory is also in complete shortage, and was blamed multiple times where GPU maker cant ship as much as they could, not that Nvidia and AMD could built them fast enough with TSMC anyway. TSMC has stated they have a whole dedicated fab for customer making their own Bitcoin ASIC, ( And has since confirmed as BitMine ), no GPU maker can make a prediction of how and when the Crypto craze ends, how are memory makers suppose to plan for their GDDR production capacity other then being conservative about it. And Nvidia now are getting problem of having high volume of GPU sitting in channel after BitCoin and Crypto crash.

Then there is the machine learning, AI craze, Datacenter segment seems to be growing with no limit. As shown outpacing Intel's projection quarter after quarter.

With Fab investment continue to increase, and takes longer to recoup, do you expect any sane company to take risk into building new Fab? When you know somewhere in the back of your head these craziness may not be sustainable?

...maybe it's just that storytelling is like a magic trick which requires the wholehearted participation of writer and reader to be successful. If you're not interested, you should quit and find something else to do.

I'm the same with television - cannot watch The Wire too many times, cannot watch most other things even once.

Wholeheartedly agree. I can't stand movies and most TV shows but there is a relatively small set of shows that I will binge rewatch at an interval of every 2-4 years. A few are the great ones like The Wire or the Star Treks that make me rethink my place in the universe as I get older, but when I say the rest out loud they all sound so... banal. And yet, I love rewatching them every time, especially when it's with friends or family - when they don't know what's going to happen and you get to experience that again vicariously.

Arrested Development, Archer, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Moral Orel, Xavier Renegade Angel... stupid stuff like that. It's especially great today with so many shows surviving for 5-10 seasons. I'll watch one or two seasons that are available and come back years later to something that combines elements of nostalgia with brand new never before seen seasons.

Edit: Also, to add, I have always been a voracious reader, especially of nonfiction. While I absorbed a lot of knowledge, I can't really remember any actual stories that I have read in my lifetime save for one. Some young adult book, House of the Scorpion, published in 2002 that was required reading for one of my kids so I read it to help them with their book report. For some reason, that book just resonated with me and it's still my favorite.

Stability comes with a cost. Just like how individuals have to pay insurance premiums and fixed price plans cost more than metered for most people (assuming usage is the same). When prices cannot vary, businesses can use some non-price pricing like offering a free month (but not changing the list rent), lotteries, waiting lists, personal connections, tying to other services, etc. but eventually a shortage or glut must result if the price cannot vary to its more natural level.

Rent control and other price controls favor one subset of consumers over everyone else. If we don't use prices to allocate housing and land, what makes one system better than another? Why not hold an essay writing contest or dance-off to determine who gets to live in a house or apartment?

Home ownership is implicitly subsidized by the government. 30 year mortgages for the masses are only possible through government guarantees. Highways to enable urban sprawl are government built.

RF heating was understood well before the development of the cavity magnetron; Westinghouse demonstrated RF cooking at the 1933 World's Fair using a standard shortwave transmitter.

The chocolate bar story is attributed to Percy Spencer in 1945 and is probably somewhat fanciful - anyone working around high-power radar equipment would necessarily be aware of RF heating, because it presents a significant safety hazard. Spencer can legitimately claim to be the inventor of the microwave oven and is named on Raytheon's patent.

> I've been pondering the implications of using Docker / Kubernetes to deploy a fairly complex application to production.

These systems are managed by dedicated teams most of the times. Kubernetes has many moving parts and debugging issues can be a nightmare.

Using docker is the way of the future. Docker merges development/production environments, facilitates CI/CD, simplifies deployments/rollbacks/etc., it even enforces best practices by separating layers (persistent vs ephemeral), so on and so forth.

You could deploy your application through ansible docker module on EC2 instances, droplets or what-have-you.

So the more subtle question is why do you need an orchestrator?

Container orchestrators solve the problem of density. Say, my stack is made of services running in 128MB of RAM. I want to scale them quickly in and out on-demand.

If you don't have a density problem, e.g. your application will need 2GB of RAM anyway, I would say go with docker & EC2 autoscaling. Much easier to handle, you won't have to debug weird network/logging issues and all the problems that orchestrators bring along.

If you choose to go with an orchestrator, then for a small team, I would advice to take a look to Docker Swarm. Swarm comes with service discovery, load balancing, secrets & config-handling build-in. That's a big win for smaller teams. The learning curve is rather small, if you're already using docker. What you will have to handle if you go with swarm is:

- Cluster initialisation (if you chose to automate this part, you might not, but you'd better automate the rest)
- Node-level autoscaling
- Container auto-scaling
- Dynamic routing (traefik or nginx + confd will solve this for you)
- Security (same goes for k8s or any other orchestrator, security requires eye for detail & experience)

There are other minor issues (e.g. Swarm internal load balancer won't forward the real IP of the request to the internal service, which can be a PITA in some cases. There are workarounds mind you), but all orchestrators have minor issues and limitations.

Another word of caution about orchestrators: Most teams, don't need orchestration and don't have use cases that simpler setups cannot solve. Simple is smart, simple is genius. Keep it simple, until you can't keep that simple anymore.

Oh, don't even think about adding a persistent layer inside the orchestrator! If a service uses a Redis for caching for example, could be deployed as a stack in a swarm cluster. If you need persistence that goes beyond the lifecycle of the container, keep them out :-)

Good luck!

Each unit is roughly the equivalent of an i960 risc system with cpu ram and a display running 24/7 powered by a heat-generating wall wart. Not even counting the network equipment, before broadband many gas stations had satellite uplinks. Multiply that millions of times and the power consumption adds up.

Bitcoin speculators have profited from bitcoin, just like ACH industry investors and executives profited from $0.50 per transaction ACH fees. The only difference I see is bitcoin hasn't driven up the cost of goods for everyone.
Yet using functional staples like map and reduce is discouraged by GvR himself. I guess it's alright as long as the language can adapt to your needs (even though this might contradict the "one obvious way" idea).
The key part of redundancy is that your "redundancy glue"[1] must be significantly more reliable than each component, including its software and implementation -- because often the glue failing in isolation itself can cause outages. So the probability of failure was simply P(single failure); now for 2x parallel redundant systems it is P(single failure)^2 + P(glue failure). If P(single failure)^2 ~ 0, we need P(glue failure) < P(single failure), at the very least.

[1] i.e. the systems that interconnect the multiple redundant system, detect failures, redirect traffic, etc.
This is badly needed equivalent of where keyword in Haskell very useful (among other things) in list comprehensions to avoid duplicating function calls (now you assign the result of the call and use it again in the beginning part of the comprehension).

That being said it's another example of how after many years it turns out that C got it right all along. Assignment being an expression (not a statement) makes many useful idioms possible. Sure, there was a problem with typos concerning '=' and '==' being similar but this was solved by convention of requiring parenthesis around assignment if its value is used as boolean. If you turn on warning in modern C compiler you will never make this error again. Interestingly it's also what Python has chosen even though they went with := operator.

Personally I prefer having one assignment operator and assignment being an expression. If it's := or = really doesn't matter in my view.
