If we can apply the same ingenuity to the end of life stage as to the creation stage, it actually makes sense to not bother attempting to fix - why expend costly human effort on individual patches when innumerable hours have been spent refining industrial processes to bring the cost of a replacement down? Just buy the replacement. Though of course even with the cleanest lifecycle there's still the power requirement and associated carbon, but perhaps even that can be taken care of via mitigation.

I should say instinctively this still seems kind of wrong and wasteful to me, but then on the other hand when so much time has been invested in processes it kind of makes sense to take advantage of that efficiency. I should also say that this still leaves manufacturers with no excuse for taking the decision to deliberately stop making consumables, which is the kind of thing I would like to see legislation against.
Take a look at my answer above :)

The quote you make there from your reference [0] has a link to the legal agreement with Cloudflare. It's here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/commitment-to-priv... So you can read the legal agreement.

Of course, if you still don't want to use Cloudflare for DoH you can just configure your favourite resolver in Firefox itself. The blog you refer to as [0] contains detailed instructions on how to do that.

So, where are you left? Right where you are today: you control the DNS resolver on your machine today. With Firefox Nightly you also control the DoH resolver (and can disable it entirely).

Which is about as relevant as saying "sometimes I have to cross a river so a car doesn't come close to replacing a boat". This strawman argument is trotted out every time someone suggests an alternative to cars for normal getting around.

I'm not suggesting a human-powered piano delivery service. I'm not proposing we replace logging trucks with cargo bikes.

I am saying that a large number of trips can be taken by modes other than car when doing so becomes a safe and pleasant option. We have proven examples of this (DK, NL) and they are really nice places to walk, cycle, and perhaps paradoxically, drive, as a result.
By the same argument, doesnt that mean there can be no reliable Turing machine either, as quantum effects and random perturbations means that eventually your machine will calculate some logical expression wrong (and that's before we talk about running out of tape).

Is there a fuel station at your home or within two miles etc?

Why are you happy for the filling station to not be on a local road but the charging point must be? Because of time? 30 minutes will get you 80% charge on must current super chargers. Next gen ultra chargers will probably bring that down to 10 minutes.

80% is enough for maybe 200+ miles in the latest EV - so in 14 years I'm reasonably confident that'll still be available or better.

Also, why do you drive? To get to work? Petition for chargers at work perhaps? 14 years to get them onside. Charging doesn't have to happen at home.

The term "social choice" is unnecessarily confusing, and should be deprecated. I don't believe you're referring to a population as a whole making a choice, but rather a population having to endure a consequence of an individual choice. Thus the individual is potentially committing a tort. I have been accumulating unrepaired gizmos in my hoard. When is a tortious act committed? Only when I concede that I will never repair an item? What if I combined parts into a combination? I can't escape the thought that even choosing to possess an unrepairable item will be regarded as a Wrongful Act.

There is no way in hell I would let my kid cycle on the vast majority of "cycle lanes", and suggesting that I should let her wobble around until she builds competence or dies is ridiculous.

Vehicular cycling has set back actual progress in safe infrastructure by decades and is woefully ill-informed about the needs of anyone other than fit, adult, experienced cyclists with excellent vision, hearing, and reflexes.

Is that incorrect? Wikipedia says:

The term "person of color" (plural: people of color, persons of color; sometimes abbreviated POC)[1] is used primarily in the United States to describe any person who is not white.

I'm not from the US myself and so am not greatly acquainted with how it's usually employed.

Indeed. It just replaces internal calls between services of your monolith with flaky and slower network calls.
Nice bit of cheap woodwork from scrap materials, but the main problem this will run into is that most jurisdictions will apply (or bend) laws about parking and temporary structures to take away and destroy your wooden trailer shelter.

Or, in the case of Hungary, make homelessness illegal entirely. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/10/15/europe/hungary-criminaliz... / http://abouthungary.hu/fundamental-law/qa-on-the-upcoming-am...

Homelessness is a complex social problem that requires quite a lot of social intervention work to fix. It's not something that can be papered over with a wooden shelter.
So don't use them. They're not mandatory and the open road remains yours for the taking, aside from motorways.

But just as not all people are track runners, not all people are ex-bike-couriers, and it would be nice if they could ride a bike in something other than abject terror.

Also, I actually don't favour a total ban for the most part, just pricing in the externalities. Which would make petrol and diesel powered cars astonishingly expensive. Removing a liter's worth of CO2 from the air would have to be priced in to the cost of a liter of fuel. Paying for your dead neighbour's funeral would need to be covered too (though insurance is meant to cover this, drivers who kill people walking or cycling are rarely found at fault, because it's legal to kill people with your car if they're in the street). Meanwhile, you'd still let the odd hot rod or classic car enthusiast have a project car to wrench on during the weekends, and honestly, I think that's great. They're a key part of our cultural history and great fun.

But right now we still pay for all of those things! We just make _everyone else_ pay for them, which is very unfair. My taxes pay for the street where people drive too quickly to stop before killing my child if she slips from the pavement, and where they emit pollution that has rendered her less intelligent than she might be otherwise, though it's impossible to say by how much.

I don't even own a car. So that seems unjust.
It's due to the fact that Lisp is ahead of its time :-)

There are many ways to slice an apple.

Sometimes it is a good idea to build something as microservices, but you just have taken the wrong approach, and therefore it is a pain in the *. So slicing it a different way might still be a microservice architecture but feel much better.

Recently I thought about setting up a Firefox Sync server. The first bumper was when I learnt that the sync server has a dependency on the accounts server... But the full-featured accounts server, in turn, consists of a bunch of services of its own [1]:

- fxa-content-server

- fxa-profile-server

- fxa-auth-server

- fxa-oauth-server

- browserid-verifier

- fxa-auth-db-mysql

After seeing that I decided to tackle that project another day.

For Mozilla that architecture might be perfect, but for most people who just want to run a separate server for <10 people, that architecture is just a burden.

When I was doing hardware in the 80 early 90's I came to the conclusion that the 'reusable code' fans were all missing a point.

You are either writing a library,a framework, or something like that. Or you are implementing some 'business logic'

The point of the former is reusability. The point of the latter is utterly not and you should not waste your company's time and money or worse let schedules slip because of it.

Some further thoughts over the years.

Reuseable code must have a public, well designed, sable, and documented API or it won't ever be reused. Be honest how many programs are going to reuse this code? Enough to justify all the above? Didn't think so.

One of the problems with reusable code is dependencies. OOP code bases tend to have more than the ordinary number of dependencies.
I noticed that as well. Maybe the 20% story is simply a PR stunt for hiring.
Or a framework like Django.
> you have to purchase new hardware every 3 to 5 years

You really don’t. Generally macOS tends to extend software support (i.e. the latest release) to computers that are around 6-7 years old.

> My main program was broken and I had to fix it several times during the past two decades, every time because of changes by Apple and not a single time because of a programming bug.

Just curious: what were the problems you faced?

> use XCode or die, get a developer account or forget it

You can write Mac apps without either of these. Without Xcode the job is hard but not impossible, and you can distribute unsigned binaries and they will run on macOS.
Soap was traditionally made from the ashes of hardwoods combined with rain water (higher nitrogen content).

I was mostly thinking of e.g. the C++ Standard library, or a TCP library, or a multithreading framework.

And really, by re-using that code I mean using the library. Now, most `libraries` don't fall under this category. But for libraries that are truly going to be used, especially if they are used in multiple different organizations, separate from the library writers, then this matters.

To your point though, these library writers aren't delivering a what a lot of people think of as a `software product`. I would call it more of an intermediate-product than an end-product.
The UK power grid (which this article is talking about) is being converted to a smart grid. All new electric meters report their usage continuously which can be used to discover usage patterns. I imagine that chargers would also be connected to smart meters.
Hello PostgreSQL 11 – Get ready to say goodbye to PostgreSQL 9.3
Most of the time, I've found a push to microservices within an organization to be due to some combination of:

1) Business is pressuring tech teams to deliver faster, and they cannot, so they blame current system (derogatory name: monolith) and present microservices as solution. Note, this is the same tired argument from years ago when people would refer to legacy systems/legacy code as the reason for not being able to deliver.

2) Inexperienced developers proposing microservices because they think it sounds much more fun than working on the system as it is currently designed.

3) Technical people trying to avoid addressing the lack of communication and leadership in the organization by implementing technical solutions. This is common in the case where tech teams end up trying to "do microservices" as a way to reduce merge conflicts or other such difficulties that are ultimately a problem of human interaction and lack of leadership. Technology does not solve these problems.

4) Inexperienced developers not understanding the immense costs of coordination/operations/administration that come along with a microservices architecture.

5) Some people read about microservices on the engineering blog of one of the major tech companies, and those people are unaware that such blogs are a recruiting tool of said company. Many (most?) of those posts are specifically designed to be interesting and present the company as doing groundbreaking stuff in order to increase inbound applicant demand and fill seats. Those posts should not be construed as architectural advice or _best practices_.

In the end, it's absolutely the case that a movement to microservices is something that should be evolutionary, and in direct need to technical requirements. For nearly every company out there, a horizontally-scaled monolith will be much simpler to maintain and extend than some web of services, each of which can be horizontally scaled on their own.

I also wrote https://adamdrake.com/enough-with-the-microservices.html as a way to communicate some of this, including some thoughts on when and how to structure a codebase (monolith) and when it might make sense to start moving towards microservices, etc. There are cases where it's reasonable (even advisable) to move towards microservices, but they are rare.
There's a gazillion twin studies out there. There are huge databases of twins to facilitate their creation. It's really not that difficult. They might be imperfect but I would not call them unreliable.

We already know from earlier twin studies that genetics play a large role in literacy and numeracy.[0][1] So it's not like this is a shot in the dark, everyone already knows it's a confounder that must be taken into account.

To expand on the other answers a bit, not everything on .gov.uk is actually ran by GDS, but rather GDS provides governance.

Actually I don't think making a copy of some stream of bits for my own use is immoral regardless of who's making the software or whether it's some indie studio or a megacorp.

I'm all for a product in that space.

I've participated in a number of schemes aiming at sharing expertise in the past and would be glad to share and get some on your platform but, as others have stated, I think that to see traction, you'll need to specify a business model else everyone will be inclined to "if it's free, you're product" mentality.

I'm not distrusting your current statement of "no data sharing" and, if I may, "won't do evil" mentality but in this day and age, customers will need a clearer statement right on the product page for it to be trusted.

A quick and easy alternative would be "Currently in beta and free for all until December 31, 2018" would probably assuage some fears, with expectation of a coming bizmo, whatever that would be.
I think you can selective. We started with ~5 services all built fairly ad-hoc, splitting on sensible boundaries with the goal of never having a "mega" service.

This means it has been reasonably easy over time to fully replace them on an individual basis with more mature systems without changing the API design.

Now we're 3 years in with ~40 services and the approach has served us very well.

Definitely agree you shouldn't start with a ton of services, but I think you should definitely start with more than one. The jump from monolith to service-oriented thinking is a huge one. But the jump from a few services to more is much easier.
Excellent overview of the language, ecosystem and community. Thank you for writing it.
Repair credit
Pay attention! It doesn’t matter how low your score is or how many negatives are on your report. Your credit report could be as perfect for anything if you had the right contact. I used to have a low score of 413 and some negative items including an eviction on my report. I knew I couldn’t quality for anything and thought my report would never get in shape. But life as a game of risk proved to me that there could be light at the end of the tunnel. Yes there was really light. After being ripped off many times by online imposters many times, I finally met WIPE VIRUS. At first, I felt reluctant to give him a try. But when I finally did, I became ever thankful. My score was increased to a high 825 with all the negatives removed including the eviction in just 6days. I didn’t care about the cost because I had the best experience with him. I’m currently living happily with my kids in the comfort of a new big home. I just decided to share my experience as I know that a lot of people have been scammed a lot of times. Reach him through WIPEVIRUSE231@WRITEME.COM or text him on his direct number +17404860190. He can also fix a chexsystem report and a DUI report as well. Goodluck and thank me later.
The myth of meritocracy: who really gets what they deserve?
Only if it broke a relevant law. And each state's laws contract law tend to vary and are generally very obtuse. Here [1] for instance is California's state laws on contract. And even then you generally need to show damages, or a failure to deliver on a contractual obligation that resulted in less than promised.

> The role of the audience is central in another context: MP3. MP3's explosive growth is fueled by the appeal of free stuff, of course, but at a more basic level it is fueled by musicians' fervent desire to circumvent record companies and their onerous contracts. Record companies do roughly three things: production, distribution, and promotion. Production can already be bought by the yard, and MP3 promises a new distribution system. That leaves the most complicated of a record company's functions, promoting records. [...] In order to circumvent record companies completely, it follows that bands must learn to use the Internet to promote themselves -- that is, to build an audience.

Interesting and prescient. A good reminder that the "copyright wars" are three-sided. The record companies like to pretend that they're protecting the musicians from the public, but who's protecting the musicians from the labels?
You can just as easily create an unmaintainable spaghetti mess of microservices. Isolation is defined by good architecture, microservice or monolith is just how it gets executed.

> No income tax is far simpler. Do you know what the cost for enforcement of individual income tax is? Hint: think astronomical.

I do know what the cost of enforcement of individual income tax is, at least in a sane system with effective witholding and most people not submitting stupid tax returns every year: about 1.25% of money raised (https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201012/cmselect/cmtr..., table 7).

And the simpler you make the system the cheaper it is (this is NOT flat rates - calculating graduated taxes on income is basically free) - you can see this from the "National Insurance Contributions" line on the same table, which is an effectively zero-complexity additional income tax which costs a third of a percentage point of money raised.

So not astronomical. Really quite efficient.
