Microservices are designed differently than monoliths. The architecture enables you to easily do something. Cognitive load isn't what matters, it's the engineering. You can spin microservices up and down to meet demand. You can put them in containers to build an anti-fragile system. You can load balance them. That's much more difficult and more expensive to do with monoliths. The author is thinking of the distinction like an ivory-tower CS professor who thinks he's talking about abstractions, when you're actually talking about design and engineering.

I am not sure about that one. Maybe it was the movie Deep Impact?

But I will tell you an actual and more direct example. The recently elected president of Ukraine LITERALLY is a comedian who was the star of a show where he plays the President of Ukraine! He had very little in the way of policies, but a lot of sharp humor, criticism of Poroshenko and the fact that many people routinely could see him on TV being the “President”!

Probably a flat minimum. In the US I'd imagine it'd best be a log curve starting with a minimum of "minimum wage (of an hour)" and then shifting to a % of the cash inside. Something like a gentle decay curve where every base 10 increase there's a halving of the percent cut.

This explains the bizarre experience I had last year where I needed some keys copied and saw there was a locksmith just down the street so I went down there and couldn't find it. I called to get directions and had the strangest 10 minute conversation with someone who swore up and down they were sitting right there at a real place but could not explain to me how to find it when I was standing "right outside."

It's more that the police are nearly always there to enforce punitive things rather than improve an actual public good.

Instead of designing things properly (large scale zoning, zoning laws that make sense, building codes to improve the quality of life) we make poor decisions based on cheep and fast; externalize the costs; then make living with those costs a fear/punishment based enforcement.

If "peace officers" were out doing only commonly agreed good things, improving lives rather than being 'tough on crime' then they'd be part of a solution rather than a problem.
You're talking about ECC vs. no ECC. That's not what the comment was saying, it was saying it handled single bit flips correctly but not double bit flips. But at 1 bit flip per GB per year, randomly distributed, you are guaranteed many single bit flips but a double bit flip is almost never going to occur.
I live at Moffett Field, literally a stone’s throw from Google HQ and my street address doesn’t show up on Google maps despite repeated attempts to contact and correct. My street shows up, but not the actual number. Apple Maps however, is perfectly accurate for my address. Essentially in Google’s backyard and they can’t get it right. So it makes me suspicious of the quality of the entire system.
The gate depth scales logarithmically, and that determines how many cycles it takes, or (worse) how fast your cycles can be, if you want the answer in one cycle.

I bought a Tab S5e recently. Samsung did a good job with its DEX interface. When activated it's a desktop with a dock and Android apps in windows. Bluetooth mouse and keyboard or soft keyboard. Video out over USB-C to hook it to a monitor with a HDMI adapter. And USB host mode obviously. There is even an Ubuntu 16.04 container sharing Android's kernel. It must be installed separately. It displays its own Unity desktop in a full screen DEX window and it comes with LibreOffice, VSCode, IntelliJ IDEA among the others. Great as ssh client, better than any other I used on Android. I used it to edit some pictures with Gimp and I made it run Rails, to check it could be used for some sw development.

“$500 billion per year business” is a sort of meaningless term, especially in retail, when you compare to the fine.

Walmart’s operating income was “just” $22M with a final net income of “just” $6.7B (in the ballpark of large tech company quarterly profits).

It’s still true that a $330M settlement is then just 5% of their annual profit (and thus looks like that’s how the number was chosen), but comparing to their $500B revenue isn’t directly meaningful (though it is for your Polish GDP, sort of!).

PXE booting Linux live media is fairly straight-forward. Grub/syslinux syntax translates pretty easily to iPxe (which is simply a different type of bootloader). You just provide a kernel,a ramdisk, and whatever kernel arguments you need. If you're trying to roll your own ramdisk environment from scratch you may run into trouble but in general network booting Linux isn't any trickier than making a bootable iso.
Isn't a battery replacement just $199, anyway? Might have been the cheaper alternative even without the recall.

I had a similar decision a few weeks ago (contemplating whether to go from a 2014 15" MacBook to a 2019 model because of a faulty battery and touchpad.)

I went to the Genius Bar, they replaced the top-case including the battery, a new keyboard, and a new touchpad, for $199. They also replaced the display for free while they were at it (relating to coating issues,) so I virtually got a new MacBook (from the outside) for $199.

The documentary you're referring to is 'The Princes of Yen'.

Contrary to all the Western BS about "samurai caste" etc. (it's always some dim-witted "academically proven" stereotype with you folk), the Samurai completely lost their power during the Tokugawa period due to inflation.

Meiji broke this completely, and gave power to an oligarchy consisting of rich merchants/farmers (and some their samurai co-conspirators who helped with the restoring Meiji to power.). In fact, this transition was helped by the British, which might explain why Meiji was so anti-Asia to begin with - there was an incomplete purge of Buddhism and conscious playdown of Chinese culture.

> If you added multiple returns to every function and manually propagated every error you'd get exactly the same thing as try/catch.

You'd get the same control flow, but it would be visible in your code instead of invisible/magic.

> It's existence comes from not wanting to do all this pointless boilerplate and instead having the compiler do it for you.

Right, but making it be completely invisible goes too far - it's the same problem as AOP.

Either gives you the best of both worlds - minimal boilerplate, but you can still see what's going on.

Lol. And google ignores those edits and requests. As I said in a prior comment, I live seconds away from Google on Moffett Field and my address is still wrong on Google maps, but correct in Apple Maps.

It's not really a proper solution, but libraries serve as a kind of alternative "official authority" for things like that in the part of the US where I currently live (one of their many unofficial jobs that aren't properly accounted for or funded). People seem to drop off stuff in the library even if they didn't find it there, because it's a place you can easily enter, and librarians are perceived as having some kind of official status (being government employees), but compared to others are seen as approachable and pretty honest and benign. So people assume the librarian will probably know what to do with the wallet and probably won't just pocket the cash. And, many people are less apprehensive about walking up to a library front desk compared to walking into a police station.

Are you any good with Go?

I've been developing a GitHub/GitLab/Gitea style website for a while now, for storing and displaying binary objects. The current code is set up to handle SQLite, but it's entirely feasible to add support for other binary formats (such as 3D objects) to it:

https://dbhub.io

eg storage of them, display of them visually instead of the SQLite table view

When I was first thinking up the idea... it was actually for 3D objects. Was going to do it as a Collab platform for Blender, but well... I do more stuff with databases so the SQLite bit came first. :)

The backend storage doesn't use git, as it's lousy with larger files over time, but it does use the same principles for the versioning, branching, forking, tagging, etc.

Unless you've used a language with a high level of strictness, i.e. OCaml/Haskell/Rust, it can be hard to see the sheer power and utility of typechecking. If someone has only used Java, they may not understand the true power of types. But if you've familiar with OCaml/Haskell/Rust, why bother writing dynamically typed code? Sure there's some niche usecases where it's more powerful, but generally you can do as much with say, Rust, or even more pragmatically, C# 8/Kotlin.

While if you've only used dynamic languages or badly typed languages, then having to deal with this stupid naggy compiler is just annoying. A big part of learning a strongly statically typed language is learning that the compiler is your friend, and that errors are good. I've noticed that a lot of people new to TypeScript try to get the compiler to shut up, often resorting to any or @ts-ignore, while more advanced users will see it as a dialogue. The compiler complains? Okay, something's wrong: Let's find the root cause here.

TypeScript took off because people had no choice but to write JS, so any benefit was better than no benefit. Sorbet was also borne out of an existing codebase. But a new language wouldn't have this lock in factor.

I just wanted to point out a significant change made to the above document today.

Earlier today, there was a "Standard" build and a "Compatibility" build.

The "Standard" build excluded support for "data", "computed", "methods", "watch", "provide/inject", "mixins", "extends", and all lifecycle hooks.

In the updated document, the old "Compatibility" build became the "Standard" build, and the old "Standard" build became the "Lean" build.
No, basically it'll just slow down 20-30 MPH abruptly and unpredictably. It tends to make the person behind you mad, and could certainly cause a rear end collision if someone wasn't paying attention.

I also wouldn't trust it in any situation where lane lines are ambiguous, incompletely erased, or just unusual. I have about 50% success navigating freeway ramps and interchanges around here, and even when it is successful it drives slowly and erratically, again making other drivers mad. I've basically given up on that feature, and I also don't use it at speeds above 45 MPH.

I'm hopeful that the more powerful "HW3" Tesla neural net computer will allow them to basically redo the whole thing for "fully self driving". If they're just planning on running what they've got now but faster, then they are not going to be successful.

Finally, although I am bullish on the no lidar approach, I am skeptical that their current camera setup is good enough. They really need more coverage and more resolution, and probably more compute than even HW3 provides. But improving the cameras in newer cars would mean giving up on "fully self driving" for existing cars, and that would be disastrous for them given the promises Elon has made and the millions of dollars of "fully self driving" features already sold.
Or abuse framesets! They're deprecated now, but still...

I sometimes wonder what it would be like if another species had survived and developed alongside us. They would be humans but....not quite what we conceive of as human(basically our species). What would their culture have been like? Music, art, language, etc.

As tribal as our own species is I imagine we would have gone to war eventually and one exterminated the other (assuming no large difference in population, technology, etc.). I think that might have been what happened to Neanderthals?

But still, the thought of going about day-to-day business alongside, let's say homo floresiensis, has something intriguing to it. Perhaps it's the same reason we imagine interaction with extraterrestrial life - it's really just a reflection on us and our own humanity.
