I agree servers and containers to get started...

However, once you are running enough containers, your server bill becomes something you can't ignore...

Making enough servers with enough memory capacity to keep all or containers running with fail over support was $400/month.. and that was just 60 containers (an easy number to hit in micro-services architectures).

And your right, we never got near server capacity by CPU usage .. completely agree there, we ran out of memory to keep the containers in memory ready for use.

Honestly: lol.

There is not right to entry even with an approved visa into the states. This could give someone the opportunity to find a reason to say no, which is totally within the rights of the official.

You can't sue the US government for denying you entry because you don't have a right to it.

Are there any websites indexing "underground" languages to indicate their current adoption status ?

From "only the language developers and their friends are working with it, for experimental projects",

to "some fancy startups are using it with good results thanks to its cool new features" ?

I don't mean it as a way to depreciate the work people put onto those projects, but it would certainly help with understanding what one's expectations should be.

If i take OP example : adding a new target to a language that's already heavily used in some startups in production doesn't mean the same thing than if the language is just used for toy projects and experiment. We all know how hard it is to reach production-grade quality (for pretty much anything), and how many good ideas simply collapse on the face of overlooked details from the real world.

For every one of these examples, one could provide counterexamples: Gen Patton was anything but humble, and known for his flamboyance and show-boating. But he was the general the US military relied on during the battle of the bulge crisis during WW2. Gen. MacArthur was similarly not well known for humility.
Yes. Paper is best though.

It is also sometimes in your interest to get things in the custody of an individual, ideally your attorney. If the owner of a deposit box becomes aware of your death, they will seal it until a court order is obtained.
OK, but even if there was no limit in damages, what did you have in there? How do you go about proving it when it's only you putting and taking things out of there.
Change Control for trains is fun, because there's lots of safety testing it can take a lot of time for a change which is either purely cosmetic or fixes something that has a well-understood workaround to actually make it to production.

Several years ago the main type of train I use, Class 444 Desiro got a firmware upgrade to teach it Selective Door Operation. Meaning now it knows this platform is 8 carriages long, this is a ten carriage train, so disable the doors in the rear two carriages and make an announcement automatically. Nice. But the firmware upgrade messed up the clock. So for example maybe it's about lunch time, the train displays 12:05 but is it actually 12:05? Nah, might be 13:20 or 11:50. After several months they fixed the clock, but now it is only shown intermittently. So when it says 12:05 that's definitely 12:05 but it might not remember to show the time for five minutes which is little help.

They took months to ship firmware with a fixed clock.

The SDO change also resulted in the computer becoming convinced in certain places that, as it annunciates, ""There is a fault with the door system, this is being attended to. Please do not operate any emergency equipment". There isn't a fault. But since "Ignore spurious door message" is a workaround there is no hurry to qualify a new firmware release that fixes it.
I thought BaRT had technology from either Siemens or Daimler but that was wrong. Their rolling stock has been provided by a variety of manufacturers[1]. One thing that makes things expensive for BaRT is the choice of non-standard gauge they are bound by. That’s not going to change.

Your first statement seems to have been debunked long ago:

> The researchers have found that carbon uptake of trees (as measured by growth rates) continuously increases with their size because the overall leaf area increases as they grow. This enables bigger trees to absorb more carbon from the atmosphere. Thus, the oldest trees in a forest capture the most carbon from the atmosphere. These oldest trees are to be found in ancient forests. Importantly, older trees are also more valuable for biodiversity than younger trees because they support a wider range of species

Coming from Brazil, it pretty much looks like rain forest to me, except all the tree species are different. Besides, what is the point you are trying to make? That this is somehow ok?
> There’s been some suggestion that these types of banks would lend to entities that might not otherwise be creditworthy

I don’t agree with this argument as this is already a huge problem in private and commercial banking. Loan approvals getting pushed through by bank execs for friends already happens quite a bit, especially in more economically depressed communities.

For a more publicly relevant anecdote, the current president defaulted on a loan he received from the real estate arm of deutsche bank, sued the bank, and then opened an account in DB’s private banking division which gave him a loan to pay back the debt he owed to the real estate division.[0]

The argument that public banks would somehow be less ethical than private banks, who’ve also been caught laundering money for cartels and terrorist organizations, is laughable.

For every Slack there's dozens or even hundreds / thousands of small businesses happily chugging along with no funding and have enough to keep them happy.

My personal goal isn't to be in the "really big leagues". I would much rather stay a small business than get massive amounts of funding with intent to cash out ASAP.

I trade time for money but it's much different than a traditional job. I'm not forced into a schedule defined by someone else. I can choose to put in 80 hours a week and get paid for 80 hours or put in 10 hours a week and get paid for 10 hours. Also for the last few years I've been doing things that help generate income without trading direct time, such as creating video courses.
Adobe could easily crank up the price up to 10000$ per month and still, with total certainty, it should not be illegal.

I think Apple could stop Hackintoshing on Intel (in a practical sense) if they really cared to do so. There will always be the extreme fringe who would get it to work, but it's so easy at the moment to get a fully functioning Hackintosh (including iCloud, iMessage, App Store, etc) that I have to believe Apple is both aware and doesn't care to try to stop it.

> you would have to point out at least one way in which Apple is suffering from third party repairs

When a third party messes up their repairs, it'going to give Apple bad PR because people just see broken Macs.

This is not a problem for Windows PCs because enough vendors are involved and they can blame each other when something breaks. With a Mac, it's Apple all the way down, from software to hardware, and 99% of the blame will hit them, no matter how justified that assignment is.
It's the same with poor countries. I don't play games now, but when I was young and lived in Eastern Europe, by some miracle my mother brought me PS1 with one free game included for Christmas. The non pirate games cost about 50 dollars at the time. My middle class mother Made 250 a month...

I got the machine modded and bought few pirated games... It was impossible for us to afford originals.

It’s not a search of a person’s things after leaving the checkout. It’s a manual audit taking place with a random probability. You aren’t being “searched” because the transaction isn’t completed yet. In the traditional checkout people are asksed to put their not yet purchased items on a conveyor too. I’m sure you agree that’s not “searching” them.

Note: in most places such as grocery stores, customers scan items while picking them using a handheld scanner while putting things in their cart. Then you just pay for the total at the checkout, at which point the register could randomly decide to give you an audit. If you don’t agree to ever being subjected to that, your only choice is to use traditional checkout.

In other places (perhaps most notably IKEA) items are self-scanned at checkout time.

Absolutely. Today, it's not about performance, but about performance/watt. Simply using a web browser is a huge power drain.

> It doesn't work the way Photoshop does, and so they don't use it.

It's not just the way it works. It simply does not have a lot of features present in Photoshop, starting with non-destructive filter layers. It's not just different, it's objectively worse to work with, because you can't adjust filters retroactively, wasting time to undo to the right place, then reapply everything.

If that works for you, great! But you're oversimplifying reasons it may not work for others.
>anyone other than Bombardier who makes tram/underground vehicles these days?

See this link [1] for a summary of the current situation (start about halfway down). It doesn't look great. Nippon/Sharyo is going to be at a disadvantage in bidding because their Amtrak contracts with California and Illinois were cancelled due to the prototype cars failing safety tests. It looks like Siemens will play a part in the replacement for those, which perhaps may convince them to try out transit cars in the USA. Competition would be good.

What we have now is CRRC Sifang America (a Chinese state-owned company) has built a factory in Illinois and has orders from Chicago and Boston. The first prototypes are expected this year. We will see if they can deliver.

About 20 to 25 years ago, I took a trip from the US (where I'd lived most of my life) to travel around Europe by train, and I was immensely impressed by its far superior train system. The best trains of all the countries I visited were in Sweden, which had trains which were so modern that they seemed like something out of the future, even compared to the best trains I'd seen in the US by that time, Amtrak trains.

The new BART trains that are only now rolling out remind me a lot of the Swedish trains I saw more than 20 years ago, except that the BART trains have flat panel screens in them that I doubt those Swedish trains had back then, but the Swedish trains had doors that would silently and easily slide open when you held your hands up to them -- that was something that had greatly impressed me back then, because all the trains I'd been to before had really heavy doors that you'd have to struggle with to open by hand, while on the Swedish trains you just held your hand up and the doors would glide open like on the spacecraft on Star Trek.

The whole experience had left me embarrassed for the US, which I'd seen as a technological leader up to that point. I came away from that trip with an impression that the US was very backwards in many ways. The train system and train differences were just one glaring example, but also politically and in many other ways the US was very backwards.

Now finally these new BART trains rolling out, some NYC trains were also modernizing some about a decade ago, but I haven't been to Sweden or much of the rest of Europe in a long time, and I wonder how much further they've progressed.
Different Bombardier, different factories, different gauges, different trains, different problems.

Very little these two things have in common other than the name.
As a European living in the US, I fully appreciate the loose regulatory system here. Lots of businesses start by breaking some sort of existing norm, or even law. As you hinted in your comment, it's not enough for the government to want to embrace technology. France is another example that has been talking about this forever, but I don't see much come of it (maybe it made the govt itself more efficient?). They really have to internalize that rules need to be broken with impunity for innovation to happen.

I don't know what your friends professions are, but if photoshop is a regular part of it, then the productivity gains are worth the cost.

It's the same reason I pay for JetBrains IDEs. I've got friends who say why in the world would you pay for an IDE when you can do everything for free with VS Code. But my productivity is so much higher with pycharm + webstorm, so I pay.

And maybe I am weird, but I like to pay people for the work that they do that makes my life better.
The thing about subscription software is that it's brand new. If you're under 40 you probably don't even realize this, but it's a weird new invention to us old timers, and a massive shift in the economics of technology that tends to extract a lot more money out of consumers, but not necessarily to their benefit.

From my perspective (as a consumer and employee of a large software company) all the innovation is centered around the demand for perpetual earnings growth. Few people seem to actually be trying to move the needle forward or truly improve a process, it's just making bills go up a little bit more every month.

Google just announced an unprecedented $25 billion in share buybacks. We're getting so good at extracting every penny as efficiently as possible from every segment that we literally have no idea what to do with all the cash anymore.
`img` tags are (or partially were, with the recent introduction of the object-fit property) significantly harder to properly style and position. Contrary to your argument, achieving certain layouts with `img` tags required significant style hacks, while using `div`s with with a background-image has always been straightforward.

I suggest Common Lisp. If you can afford to spend money go with Allegro Common Lisp or Lispwork.
The best open source implementation is SBCL that works best on Linux. If you want to avoid commercial implementations don't expect any fancy IDE. You'll have to find what best suits you between Emacs and other alternative plugins for the most common open source text editors. If you are already familiar with Emacs then SBCL+Emacs+SLIME is a no brainer.

I must put in a word for my favorite sport: week-long solo backpacking. Meditation, frustration, overcoming, self-reliance, singing at the top of your lungs, not speaking for days, exhaustion, mental challenge, pushing yourself, scenery and more scenery, plenty hypoxia too. Bonus euphoria for some high summits, sleeping under the stars, catching your own food, not being eaten by predators, swimming in frozen lakes, etc. Use hiking poles for full-body workout, go off-trail for some mental exercise, push your boundaries and immerse yourself for days on end.
Yes, when it comes down to it if money is on the line a few days of downtime can lead to thousands of dollars in lost time and work. Your friends are probably well aware of GIMP, made the calculation dozens of times, and each time decided it wasn’t worth the risk. It’s not just the learning curve. It’s a whole different workflow.

I learned photoshop in middle school. And if I resumed using it today not a lot would change. I’ve tried to learn Gimp for 2 decades. I still can’t figure out the GUI, CLI processing was easy, I get that.

I, a Dutch national, invest in the stock market through Meesman [0]. Meesman offers the following funds for investing in the European stock market:

- MSCI Europe Custom ESG [1]

- Barclays Euro Govt. Bond [2]

Please note Meesman offers a very limited selection of funds (5 total). As such I am quite sure the Meesman company did good research on what funds best represent certain markets.

If you'd like to invest in the European markets, I suggest you take a look at both. These funds can be bought elsewhere as well, of course.

If you are really curious I can give you a few use cases I've seen that I think are valid.

1. There is a gap in housing between when someone moves out of their old place and when they can move into their new one. So they need to store all their stuff for a while.

2. Someone has a nice hardwood tree taken down in their yard and they want to keep the wood, but they don't want their garage /workshop to be full of drying wood.

3. Bulky outdoor sports equipment. Storing your kayak, etc. in your urban apartment may not be an efficient use of space.

4. If you are in business for yourself, you may need a small amount of warehouse space. The easiest way to get that in the US? Self storage.

I often myself hating Amazon for what I see as a potentially cancerous machine of economic consolidation. Still, can't help but appreciate this mans vision. Very prescient of him.
