I think this is the same point that Harari makes in "21 lessons for the 21st century" i.e democracy became important simultaneously with the work of people being important along with the industrial revolution. Nations needed a happy population as a happy population was the ultimate source of economic output as well as an army. If more and more economic output doesn't involve humans, humans can't use a lot of existing tactics to bring about a change. Also, if most people are getting by well on an UBI, would people even be anymore interested in politics, since jobs are currently an important issue in any election.

All of my battery backed games are still going strong. Not just the Gameboy ones but all the other retro consoles in my extensive collection too.

However I do think I’ve been exceptionally lucky not to have even one bad egg amongst my archive.

Ironically it’s not the games that’s caused me battery issues but the consoles themselves. My Saturn, Dreamcast and Xbox all needed to have batteries replaced despite being several generations more recent.
The unredacting stuff was abandoned. It’s problematic even with training on other material from the SCO, and the ethics are fraught.

The Z80 microprocessor was designed in 1976. 43 years later, its CMOS version is still being produced and can be purchased new in SMT packages. Intel MCS-8051 was designed in 1980, and today you can still find brand new chips that implement the almost-original version. Also, the original version of NE555 timer, the LM741 opamp, the LM317 voltage regulators were still being produced in large quantity and used until recently, despite the availability of their better CMOS counterparts.

One can argue that their continued proliferation in the 21st century was due to the large number of legacy designs and legacy systems, that's true. But, yet, few still use 8080, 8085, or some forgotten chips from the same era.

So apparently there's another crucial reason for the success of these long-life chip: they were made to do one thing, and they did it well, and still are still doing well in low-lost devices.

It is a complicated term and it usually only refers to people groups that:

a) Have a long historic and cultural tie to the region they currently occupy,

b) are no longer the dominant culture in that region, and most importantly,

c) consider them self indigenous,

In practice an indigenous people group really only has to fulfill the last criteria. Note also that they don’t have to be the first people group to occupy a region. They don’t even have to have been there before the dominant culture arrived. For example, the Inuit people are believed to have arrived in Greenland after the Norseman in the early 11th century, and they didn’t occupy parts of east Greenland until th 20th century. Today they are arguably the dominant culture in Greenland. However nobody can dispute the fact that they are indigenous people in their land.

> No, it's not entirely voluntary.

In this case, it is not entirely voluntary for the employers either as they need employees for their business to function.

> but ultimately I'm going to have to choose one of them

No, you can become your own employer, for example.

> There's a power imbalance between employee and employer, and that will translate into a negotiating disadvantage

It depends on the state of the market. Right now, the job market is supposedly very good for programmers (employees).

Employers are offering to trade their money in exchange for other people doing some task they want done. If you do not think it is fair trade, then do not do it. You are allowed to grow your own food, or pick berries.
Monolithic just means it can carry out all it's required functionality alone, i.e. it's [major] dependencies are internalized.

It doesn't say anything about not being able to be broken into modularized sections, services, or domain boundaries.

Neither does it reject any setups where satellite systems, micro or otherwise make use of the monolith programmatically or otherwise, hell it's kond of part of the definition of a monolith that it has multiple access points (i.e. cli, sdk, rest, rpc, events.)

I don't think this is a "No true Scotsman" situation. I didn't defend microservices on the premise that "Good" users will do it right, I stated that what is described is not microservices.

Similarly, if I build a microservice architecture, and then say "My monolith is too hard to manage because it's in so many pieces" I think it would be fair to say "You didn't build a monolith".

A few years ago I bought a replacement part for a baby stroller: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/bugabooparts

It's a neat business model: The person posts DIY repair videos on youtube, which drives traffic to his site. The strollers can easily cost $1000 new, and are often handed down / resold, so there is motivation to keep them running, and they have some weak spots which tend to break. The 3D printed replacement parts can be of superior quality to the original parts.
Almost every job i've worked outside of tech is pretty much some non essential service or product. Right now I turn mountains into countertops and fireplaces using large, expensive machines so rich people can have stone inside their homes. I provide nothing that is essential, yet every day customers spend tens of thousands of dollars and my spends thousands so rich people can have nice shiny stone inside their homes.

In order to get this stone, they literally dismantle mountains one block at a time, slice them into slabs and ship them all over the world. Again, all so rich people can have nice shiny stone in their kitchens.
Would it make more sense to rent them out rather than sell?
I suppose that educating people, especially helping the understand themselves better, is key here.

your ancestry and heritage are very much attached to your ability to succeed and live a happy life today, in most parts of the world. That is why people want these things recognized so that statistics can be collected to shape public policy.

I have the luxury/privilege that my job pays well. I can do side stuff purely for enjoyment. That enabled me to explore different areas (like bee keeping) or explore scial stuff (i.e. social volunteering in a jail) without having customer demands or such.
It makes me angry, when I see people online talking about the whole of the WWII Wehrmacht as if they are all uniform, fungible movie villains. This was a huge organization of human beings. The degree to which any individual is culpable needs to be considered on an individual basis. Human rights are absolute, even for the soldiers of the enemy. Principles like that are what separate free countries from tyranny.

This is not to say, that there isn't a group accountability for an organization like an army, where people are all wearing the same regalia and literally marching under the same banner. This implies a group responsibility for calling out the wrongs of one's own side. The morality of the faction can be measured as a whole by how well it calls out its own failures of principle, and by what principles it says it upholds and by what principles it eschews.
It's an agriculture practice which mimics natural forest for food production.

Well, I think one answer is to add another service in front of that shared business entity that exposes an interface to match the domain of the consumers. Now the shared codebase should be a stable client.

But yeah, of course there's shared code between your codebases - things like JSON libraries, etc, are always going to be shared. The issue is more about what you're sharing - if it's a very stable, small library, it's probably fine. If it's something really core that's going to change a lot, or that two services may diverge in agreement upon, duplication may be worthwhile.

I recently ordered a part for my daughters dresser drawer - the Kenlin Rite-TrackII, and paid $12 for four including shipping. 6 to 7 years ago I paid $68 for a single part. To my surprise when I opened my recent plastic mailer envelope, I discovered it was a 3D printed piece. Any idea how one can 3d scan a part for exact copy?
So you're not disagreeing with the parent. Yes, a carbon tax would be the way to account for that externality while maintaining individual choice.
I mostly read email in my phone's GMail app. I mostly write email in Emacs, using message-mode. I also often read it in Emacs, using Gnus.
Morals are an individual personal choice - derived from the word 'morales', which means 'custom'. Individuals adopt customs - both learned individually, and mores adopted from a group.

Ethics are a group choice - a set of morals, in the plural, derived from "ethike" - the 'science of morals'.

They're interlocked, sure, but it is an individual who makes a moral decision for themselves, but an ethical decision for their group...

EDIT: I mean, all you have to do is look at the definition of both words in a few dictionaries. Its pretty clearly stated that ethics are a group of morals formulated around the purposes of a group, where morals are derived from and based on an individual decision. Can't have one without the other.

Of course, you are within your rights to disagree - such is the nature of the ethics of philosophical discussions.
FastMail's web client on my laptop, the Spark app on iOS. I'd use a CLI but so much of email is in HTML form that I suspect it wouldn't render well.
Great, so we are in agreement. I was confused because:

> Often the choices made by "the individual" don't account for externalities that aren't built into the price...

You put "the individual" in quotes as if to critique some sort of free-market system based on individuals, and I wanted to emphasize that the system we have can solve those problems.
A friend of mine used to work at a junkyard. People would bring in old computers all the time and he could buy working parts from the company by the pound (literally). He made a lot on the side selling them online to people who needed spare parts that were no longer in production.

Honestly, there is no good reason that born-digital content couldn’t get posted in digital/textual form rather than scanned pages.

I use default Mail.app for macOS. I tried the fancy clients like Spark etc but settled on Mail finally.

I prefer desktop clients because I have 6 email accounts and managing all of them in tabs is just a headache.
Mutt in shells and MailMate (https://freron.com/) if I'm using a GUI. It's the fastest email client that I've found, has super fast search, and is incredibly configurable and it's ONLY focused on email, nothing else. Its UX is perfect for me and is incredibly functional, but it's definitely not a "pretty" client.
Two things, both of which I stumbled into accidentally -

I make lots of jellies once the berries in the garden are ripe; I bought a house in a rural area a few years ago and it came with loads of berries. Might as well put them to use.

It is all done manually (in part because it is meant to be a diversion from my engineering job) - red- and blackcurrant and gooseberries mostly. Last year the harvest was some 1200 4oz glasses of jelly - some 1150 more than my family consumes. Sells by word of mouth.

Also, as my mother is quite into weaving tapestry and it was hard to find the exact hues she wanted for her yarns, I started dyeing for her, using traditional colouring. Turned out there was a (veee-eeery small!) market for that kind of thing, and I now make small batches for some 30-35 weavers. Again, fully manual as the idea is to do something completely different from my full-time job.
I like the concept a lot. Would like to see prices up font.

> Also, if most people are getting by well on an UBI, would people even be anymore interested in politics, since jobs are currently an important issue in any election.

One possible counter is that people may have more free time to spend engaging in politics. Once one need is satisfied attention will inevitably shift. Mazlow's hierarchy and all that.
It depends on how busy my practice is. If it's pretty busy and what I'm taking in would at least cover the cost, I'll purchase insurance for the period.

If I'm not handling very many matters, I might affiliate with a firm that has insurance to keep costs down or forego insurance. If I forego insurance, I take care to disclose that fact to the client before beginning the engagement.
BTW take a look at tup: it tries to infer dependencies by watching which files each build step actually uses.

> But the problem with microservices is that there is nothing to prevent you from creating these types of potentially incompatible dependencies.

Sure, it's totally a matter of idiom - this is why I stated that a big problem with microservices is people jumping into it thinking it's SOA. Microservices, as a discipline, requires some care. It could be argued that the care required is too high to be worth it though.

> If you are separating functionality using functions, the compiler helps you spot problems. If using classes or libraries, the linker can help spot problems.

Maybe you could be more specific? I don't see how a compiler will help prevent coupling of modules/ internal components. What problems are you referring to?

I agree about microservices being an idea without an obvious implementation - that's a fair criticism.

I use Thunderbird - The only desktop client which has both Windows/Linux versions (with identical UIs), doesn't use Electron, and doesn't need you to make an online account for it.

'Room temperature' is a funny thing - people say you should drink most red wines at 'room temperature' but apparently people's ideas of room temperatures has changed and increased by more than a couple of degrees over the last century. A small and hot dinner party kitchen certainly isn't what is intended by 'room temperature.'

Many sommeliers really recommending serving 'room temperature' red wines closer to cellar temperature or have fridges that just reduce temperature by a couple of degrees from the dining room in order to get what they want.

>> Is that really true that the majority of people don't know what will make them happy?

Decision and experience: why don't we choose what makes us happy?

""Recent years have witnessed a growing interest among psychologists and other social scientists in subjective well-being and happiness. Here we review selected contributions to this development from the literature on behavioral-decision theory. In particular, we examine many, somewhat surprising, findings that show people systematically fail to predict or choose what maximizes their happiness, and we look at reasons why they fail to do so. These findings challenge a fundamental assumption that underlies popular support for consumer sovereignty and other forms of autonomy in decision-making (e.g. marriage choice), namely, the assumption that people are able to make choices in their own best interests.
