"The longest and most destructive party ever held is now into its fourth generation, and still no one shows any signs of leaving. Somebody did once look at his watch, but that was eleven years ago, and there has been no follow-up.

The mess is extraordinary, and has to be seen to be believed, but if you don't have any particular need to believe it, then don't go and look, because you won't enjoy it.

There have recently been some bangs and flashes up in the clouds, and there is one theory that this is a battle being fought between the fleets of several rival carpet-cleaning companies who are hovering over the thing like vultures, but you shouldn't believe anything you hear at parties, and particularly not anything you hear at this one.

One of the problems, and it's one which is obviously going to get worse, is that all the people at the party are either the children or the grandchildren or the great-grandchildren of the people who wouldn't leave in the first place, and because of all the business about selective breeding and regressive genes and so on, it means that all the people now at the party are either absolutely fanatical partygoers, or gibbering idiots, or, more and more frequently, both."

> We use it at work to generate all the Infra-as-Code configurations from a single Dhall config

This is the key bit and not something which is pitched well enough from the Dhall landing pages: using straight YAML forces you to repeat yourself in multiple areas for each Individual tool being used, and these repetitions have to stay consistent across multiple tools. What Dhall does is allow you to write a single config and use it to derive the correct configurations for each tool that you use. So you can write a single configuration file from which, eventually, every single part of your system is derived - Terraform infrastructure, Kubernetes objects, application config, everything. When you pull it off, it's simply magical.

You can think of it like this: JavaScript is a horrible, no-good, very bad language, and yet all browser programming is done in JavaScript because every browser supports it - so too, are JSON and YAML horrible configuration languages. But JavaScript gave rise to abstractions like TypeScript which are much better languages which compile down to JavaScript for compatibility. TypeScript is to JavaScript what Dhall is to JSON and YAML - the fact is, pretty much everything is configured with JSON and YAML, and Dhall makes it much, much easier to live in that world, with no need for the systems being configured to support it.

Considering the relative obscurity of Dhall, it's basically the best-kept secret in the DevOps world right now, and it's a shame more people don't know about it.
> Is a photo published in a disreputable magazine significantly worse than the information already out so far which already got people thinking about him sexting anyway

Yes, unequivocally. I suspect any PR person would agree. You can doubt information published by a disreputable source, but most people believe the images they see, even in this deep faked era.
If you buy a First-class ticket, don't just enjoy the parts of the flight itself, but also the optimizations around it. With my first-class flight from Dubai to Munich it was impressively efficient:

I got picked up at my Hotel in Dubai, in a car with WiFi where I could have worked, until the Driver dropped me at the first-class gate. No queues, friendly staff, dropped my luggage and went through security within 5 minutes of leaving the car. Went straight to the lounge, where I got drinks and could have worked some more, until I got picked up for boarding. First class is the last to board, to minimize waiting time in the airplane. Same idea goes on arrival: First class leaves first. I got straight to passport control before the 500 people from the lower deck were able to form a queue there. When I was done, my luggage was already waiting for me, picked it up and met my driver to get me home - again all within probably 5 minutes of leaving the plane. This first class flight really was designed to enable the traveler to be most efficient with their time.

That the luggage was ready was most impressive to me. At least Emirates marked the luggage, and probably loaded it in a way that first&business luggage gets out first, and fast.
FWIW, for me as a Ukrainian, both of this examples would be natural because in Ukrainian we have some similar rules. Diminutives of a particular form are always neutral gender (e.g. дівчатко / divchatko). And words meaning properties / traits are always female even if a trait would be characteristic of a male (e.g. чоловічість).
That study shows it has no relation...

>Amazon lambda may have more in common with PHP in terms of discreet deployable units of functionality. What's old is new again.

This doesn’t seem to be a language choice problem, it seems to be a monolith problem, where PHP simply managed to avoid some of the traditional monolith issues by design. Your CD pipelines in any micro service architecture should solve these problems, whether it’s using FaaS or containers, or whether it’s using a compiled language or an interpreted one.
I find this extremely irresponsible. This is a serious issue.

I am beginning to think that this is a conspiracy by AMI to damage Washington Post. If Jeff would have done something as requested by AMI, they would again use that against him and start shouting that WaPo has lost credibility, since Jeff is so easy to blackmail.

As someone else commented,

> Diminutive words are always neutral

And there is "die Magd", ancient expression for a young woman and the grammatical gender is female, as well as "der Bube", ancient expression (it is still used more often, though) for a young man and grammatical gender is male.

Of both these words you can create the diminished versions "Bübchen" and "Mädchen" which both follow the aforementioned rule and are neutral.

Commonly, in Germany we say "Jungen und Mädchen" if we refer to children; but which words are chosen to be used are rarely a sensible decision.
I used to believe the only socialised goal of a market I appreciated was setting price. I now realize a significantly higher percentage of trade is not aimed at that outcome but solely at extraction of profit in the movement of price. At the point nobody cares what the price is but only cares about it's Delta and velocity, I'm out. Why are we doing this?

What does "parts popularity" mean, anyway? You probably don't have sales volume. Number of distributors? Part popularity is actually useful; you want to design using popular parts when possible, to avoid supply problems. Seeed Studio is big on that; that's why they have a recommended parts list of parts they can easily get in Shenzhen.

Octopart is a more generic site for discovering chips and getting an idea of the price, but still it fetches crappy prices from Digikey, Farnell, Mouser, etc.

If your product is being made in China and you are making the design choices, a quick Taobao search (or using the above links) is great to see how popular a part is. Not recommending to buy parts from Taobao though (unless you are more seasoned). There are also alot of agents that can source parts maybe 1-2 levels below the original factory. Their prices are so good it's unbelievable but they are hard to find and validate. Having volume also helps.

Even for fairly long distances, the train can be time competitive.

A couple months ago I took a train from Tokyo to Fukuoka (around 600 miles driving distance). The train took 5 hours station to station -- I was staying near Shinagawa station so walked into the station 15 minutes before departure, and walked out of Hakata station in downtown Fukuoka 5 hours after departure.

If I flew from Haneda, it would have been a 2 hour flight, plus 45 minutes to get to the airport 45 minutes before the flight and 30 minutes from Fukuoka airport to Hakata, or about 4 hours total. Add about 45 minutes if flying out of Narita since it's farther from downtown.

But the train is around twice as expensive.

How would that be technically possible? All the app needs to do is log the user’s taps and swipes and then replay those inputs on a copy of their app.
And at least spoken, it can be difficult to understand, if someone said "einen" or "ein"; if they would care for the difference at all.
PHP is the same but with speed improvements in 7. But even without that the sheer number of high traffic sites built on PHP and proven scalability cannot be ignored or its ease of use and setup.

All talk of accessibility and ease for new users often comes off as posturing by some tech folks who then proceed to rubbish any efforts at achieving it and the compromises involved. It fits in nicely with the 'contempt culture' recently covered here.

The growing problem for the technical community and new users is the marketing by other languages, frameworks and those vested in these ecosystems which means using forums like this to belittle, rubbish and exaggerate any perceived fault in everything else. PHP's contemporaries like Python, Ruby, Javascript have their many downsides too but these efforts create false binary narratives. This is not a good basis for technical decisions or informed discussion.

80s and 90s Decca, DG etc CDs greatly improved things. Current classical, outside the smallest labels, often seems to be blessed with the same compression game. It's disappointing, but at least it's easy to work around. Understanding why they do is more of a challenge.

Cheap pressings and compilations are always going to be an issue. Just like those old compilation tapes you used to get in motorway services that would stretch on first play. I suspect KTel would find a way to make CDs self-destruct after 5 plays.

Most of those other problems went away with a decent deck. Mainly leaves the scratches to "enjoy". :p
But that's my point, and to lay it all out more clearly — I just think writers are being incredibly lazy when it comes to thinking about utopias.

The very concept of a utopia conveys the idea of a world, or a trajectory of constantly increasing excitement and betterment. The idea that a utopia would be boring because "everything is already as good as it can get" betrays a fundamental misunderstanding: if people born in a "utopia" consider it normal and boring, it's probably not a utopia.

Can't remember exactly what it was about now but it was all over the news here in Sweden. A few years ago there was some new cover tiles for houses. They were widely used because they were new and cheap but now they realized it was a ticking bomb. Turns out the house under the tiles was damaged from moisture or a reaction to the material or some such.

Most jobs have a lot of new things all the time, the web industry just have it a lot more. There is always some fresh meat out of school that think the old ways are stupid and we should do it this way instead.

Looking at descriptions of those photos, I honestly don't understand why it's even such a big deal. And I suspect that it's not nearly as big of a deal to Bezos as the blackmailers thought it would be. Perhaps a little projection at play.
To me that's hiding another question of whether or not it's worthwhile. Like when we ask if something is or isn't art, or if writing software is or isn't engineering. There shouldn't be any link between saying economics is or isn't a science and giving it credit.

Yeah, that's because they did not do anything wrong. Here, Jeff cheated on his wife and he is facing the consequences. BTW, Bill gates was very much reviled during the early Microsoft days.

That assumes there is some sane upper bound on rates, but they can fluctuate quite a lot depending on how the economy is doing (7% doesn't seem like too much of a stretch). I agree that you should not buy a house near your carrying capacity, but I also posit that if you start out 7% lower that it will hurt your standard of living more than you expect.

The Cryptographic Right Answers (https://latacora.micro.blog/2018/04/03/cryptographic-right-a...) do tell you to ditch RSA if you can.

They say the only way to use RSA is in a very very specific way that is probably not the default in many implementations. If you need to be careful when doing crypto you will do something wrong. It's just better for everyone if you just forget about RSA and switch to something that is both highly secure by default and hard to mess up in the implementation.

And you end up with program compiled to a config anyway, so with a proper toolchain it means your real config is the program.

People keep increasing complexity unintentionally precisely because they don't realize that code = data. There's no real distinction. Code is data is code.

You will end up having Turing completeness somewhere, it's just a matter of choosing (or blindly selecting, like most people do) where. For a popular product, it eventually gets embedded in the configuration language, turning it into half-assed programming language (see most web-related templating). For less popular products / more enterprise'y settings, you can probably get away with embedding the Turing-complete part in your bureaucracy. That is, I can't code my config to make it do what I want, but I can pay you to get developers to write some code and export it to the config language as a keyword. There's a spectrum to this, and tradeoffs galore.

But ultimately, YAML is nothing but a tree notation. Tree notation is enough to represent high-level programming languages. Lisp without parenthesis, if you might, or Python, if you squint your eyes.
They can have (and did have, at least the long time ago when I still used it) weird cache persistency errors and "please just refresh to fix that" type of workflows if you have bad luck. That sort of behaviour is simply not acceptable for a bank.
Off topic, it makes me wonder if a well designed IDE, a step by step wizard could save a lot of time from reading docs.

> Only 40 years ago we thought one processor will be enough for all compute tasks, then we learned how to make software for bunch of CPUs, then we realized there are things that benefit from bunch of weaker cores and wrote software for that, then we realized you don't even need a single computer and you can parallelize your program to N computers with M processors.

No, the history of parallel computing is a lot more chaotic than that!

Parallel, distributed or vector computing graphics have been around since the early days and there are many fancy parallel processors architectures that never did well exactly because no ones knew how to program them.
The Tera architecture (128 threads) comes to mind[1]. The Cell that was used in the playstation 3. It has 1 general purpose core and 8 accelerators that were vastly underexploited by game developers. The greatly anticipated Intel Larrabee (32 cores) never made it to the market. And even today the fate of the Xeon Phi (about 60 cores) remains very uncertain.

In 2019 parallel computing is reserved to the same restricted set of easy to parallelize applications than 40 years ago (numerical simulations, 3D rendering, database servers and maybe few others) + deep learning. But most software is sequential, and most people would not notice if they had 1 or 2 cores instead of 8 or 16. That's because writing parallel programs is inherently and debugging is hell.

With iPhones on both ends, I'm having a hard time believing the "hack" accusation. Apple has learned their lessons from The Fappening debacle, and you you can't as much as sneeze without triggering 2FA if you're accessing stuff from the device not already tied to the user.

More likely this was leaked either by Sanchez herself or by someone who had access to her Apple Photos photostream (such as on e.g. a Mac or a shared iPad) where all of this stuff would pop up unless they were using something like WhatsApp with "save images" setting set to off.

Less sophisticated users probably don't even know this setting exists, and it's on by default.
