Nearly all the software you actually use. Do you think things like Vault, Consul, Kubernetes, Apache, Nginx, NodeJS, NPM, React, VueJS, etc. etc. etc. were all "mature" one year in? Many of those are actually extremely simple and limited in functionality compared to actual "real" enterprise apps. What an amazingly naïve comment.
I moved almost all my money to Fidelity. They're not a bank, but very close to one. The best thing is ATM everywhere: they reimburse ATM fees as soon as the transaction posts. The promotional material says the reimbursement occurs nationwide but in practice worldwide, so even international ATM withdrawals are free of fees. Unlike most banks, they also pay interest on their cash management account (1.08% APY as of now) but you can buy SPRXX or any other money market mutual fund with higher yield and a stable NAV, and these will be auto-liquidated when you move money out (SPRXX has a 7-day yield of 2.08% as of 7/31).

For purchases I don't recommend using money in the bank any more (i.e. don't use a debit card). Use a credit card for better protection and pay the credit card from the cash management account. You don't have to get a credit card from the same place you bank. Fidelity has a BillPay feature to initiate payment from your account to the credit card, or you can give your credit card company the ACH account and routing numbers.

The only thing I find lacking is the occasional cash deposit. But you can just buy a money order and deposit that.

Also learning to use a brokerage account with cash management features has a steeper learning curve than a bank account, but the average HNer will have no difficulty.
The Russel and S&P are generally right next to the Dow in financial news. There is value in each of those indexes if you know what you are evaluating. The health of large companies does reflect the health of the overall economy for the most part. Combining that with the S&P gives a pretty good measure of the US economy.

How so? How expensive is an inefficient solar road vs a regular road with a more efficient solar plant next to it? I imagine that doing them separately would at least make each last longer, and would probably be cheaper on average.
Please be aware of the underlying business model.

You are being sold 500 calories worth of food for $14. That means that for an average, moderately active human, the cost of eating a diet of this is ~$52/day.

Yes, it is good macro-nutrients (probably). Yes, you're not going to eat this 4 times a day. Yes, it's vegetarian so you get your signaling points.

But this is a $52/day niche meal service is targeted at rich (sub)urbanites living in a bubble of abundant VC money and giant tech. Just be clear about what it is.
Business requirements evolve. Even if you ship a working and currently-satisfactory product quickly, you don't know whether an architecture is good or not until you see how it copes with new requirements 3, 5, 10 years from inception.

People changing jobs/teams faster than that may simply never experience a feedback cycle on the real, long-term quality of their work.

> Can you elaborate on what you found tedious? Thus far, I feel like that part works reasonably well.

Most of it revolves around update states, i.e. if I update 100 packages at once, the number of kernel calls to de-activate the previous 100 and activate the new 100 is probably in the tens of thousands, and there is a lot of inefficiency here because the kernel does not really know "what" you are doing (just unmounting, moving files, remounting, adding links, etc. etc. etc.) Whereas on Haiku with packagefs, the package_daemon gives the packagefs the new state description, and it can update all of its internal states and re-bind everything internally with a lot less overhead, because both ends of the system know exactly what is going on.

> Why is resetting the package store contents to an earlier state not sufficient? What does the kernel need to do? Or do you mean to avoid a reboot?

I mean if you e.g. take a bad update, and now your system does not boot, how are you going to revert to an older one? All distros today store older kernels so if that was the problem it's easy to revert that, but if the problem was some package, you have to pull up a recovery shell and mess around in it.

If you manage all of the package mounting in userland, how are you going to handle booting from an older "state" if the package management tools themselves, which must be outside the packaged area in your model, got broken? So then you still have to drop into a recovery shell.

On Haiku, you just get into the bootloader menu, and then you choose to boot from the previous "state" (which includes the kernel, init system, etc. etc.) because the bootloader itself speaks "packagefs", and can load the kernel out of a package.

> In distri, you can just rebuild any package and forcefully install the result onto your system, if you really want to and can live with the consequences.

But you miss the point: Of course you can do the same on Haiku, or use the "non-packaged" directories, etc. We have convinced the Haiku "power users" to go this route. But it is very ingrained into a lot of people, and getting them to switch to it is a large cultural problem. Especially if the package manager itself feels "bolted on" and not part of the system, which it virtually always will be in Linux.

> Yeah, distri doesn’t attempt to do this, for the reasons you outline :)

Well, then the "Linux desktop usability" people who complain that Linux is unsuitable for $average_user will remain correct...
Two thoughts:

First, $12/pound is too expensive. Yes, I know you've got delivery and other costs, and it's best to start high. But know you'll need to reduce the price over time.

Second, consider pitching this to the keto market. Spinach + fat is a great keto item. It's really hard to order keto-friendly takeout. Might fill a niche.
I think TM's basic mantra practice would qualify as an Attentional practice. I don't now much about more advanced practices in that school, so I'm not sure.
For larger or more complex systems, focusing on a subsystem software architecture from a purely technical execution point of view is myopic, since the overall architecture is much more than a subsystem architecture.

Even if a senior developer ends up "implementing the actual architecture", if that does not mesh with the other subsystems and the other stakeholders, their conflicting requirements, and their weighting of the architectural quality attributes, and so on, the end result misses the goal.

Details become more concrete the more closer one gets to the developer. Conversely, if one goes the other way, things become more abstract. You need people for the topmost abstraction level, people in the middle levels who understand both the abstract and the concrete, as well as the people at the lowest abstraction level where the implementation happens.

Of course, sometimes the systems are small enough or well-defined enough so that the person in the middle level can be the same as the highest-level keeper of abstractions.

I don't think having a separate role of an architect is always counter-productive. The architect as a separate role can be useful: that person listens to other people and teams and filters and translates their desires into something which can be defined unambiguously to be actually implemented. If the architect has time to code too, that's great. If not, then there must be those senior developers who can create the more technical parts and write code, too.
None of what you said challenges the idea that it's a fraud, rather just paints a picture of what's considered to be fraud in this case being widespread.

I'm not arguing against debt. I understand that debt can grow the economy, increase asset values, increase incomes, etc etc, but debt only helps the long term wealth of a country if it's used toward productive ends. It helps GDP/incomes in the short term if it's spent on consumption, but spending the credit on unproductive investments doesn't increase the amount of debt that people/businesses can service long term. When an economy can no longer service more debt, that's when you see debt crises and contractions begin.

"Resource consumption" in the parent comment refers to power efficiency, specifically GPU blits. That issue has not been ignored. I don't know what "CPU hog" refers to; the issue is not about CPU usage.
Xml is a beast to parse. It's slow to parse and verbose but it doesn't give you a human friendly text format. It's got a number of weird features inherited from sgml. Every parser needs a quirks mode since nobody can write good schemas and schema parsers.

XML is a really bad interchange format. It's OK for a document markup language, and that's where it survives.

In general, computation is pushed out of the package installation phase and to wherever it absolutely must happen before continuing.

In this case, one could place a wrapper to wherever kernel modules are loaded (modprobe/insmod for interactive usage, and something within systemd for automated use, I suppose?).

Overall, I don’t like the concept of dynamic kernel module compilation, though I understand it has to be done realistically in some cases.

In my time at $bigCorp, I saw the title “principal engineer” used to describe two positions simultaneously, and sometimes both in the same org;

- the good, hands-on, full-of-wisdom senior engineers, whose relevant experience and strong vision enable an entire floor of developers to build the right stuff and quickly. These guys made commits to high and low level code, from network debugging to interpreter design. Really inspiring people.

- The toxic “ideas guy” “architects” who believe it is their job to write white-papers on how everything should be, without providing any guidance on how to actually get there. They believe that all problems would be solved if only we had the right perspective, even though perspective can’t be executed on x86 architecture. These guys constantly made me wonder why they were there and what they did all day.
It’s highly worrisome when dollar values get to be so large, that the fundamentals of finance that we all follow in our daily lives are completely thrown out the window. Voting over and over to raise the debt ceiling, printing more money, keeping interest rates low in a strong economy are all things common sense thinking would be weary of. It's starting to feel like the same myopic thinking that lead to the Mortgage-backed securities crisis is making similar decisions again

They capture the imagination because there are plenty of places you don’t want to build solar panels. Namely places that you want to leave alone for ecological or recreational purposes. If you can take a piece of infrastructure that is pervasive throughout a built environment and give it additional purpose, then you can save on or reduce the land you specify for this purpose.

Does it work? Apparently not, or at least: not yet. We have not successfully accomplished this, but it remains to be seen if this is a case of not yet, or never will. Experimentation yields useful data, even when the experiment is a failure.

So where were the failures? The road was less durable than expected. They didn’t account for falling leaves. They didn’t produce as much electricity as they thought it would. Thunderstorms also damaged the road.

But! It did produce a decent amount of electricity, it did successfully transmit it, and it did function as a road. Colas has given up and chose not to pursue this route anymore, but it isn’t a death sentence for the idea in its entirety. It is a failure of execution, and there will be a lot of failures before there is ever a success. I’ll end this with the caveat that there might not ever be a success, but it is too early to decide that and further experimentation might yield other interesting road construction technologies.

Is this just delivering a single Indian dish, in 3 variants, as a service (whatever that means in this context)?

Currently available alternatives:

1) go to the nearest Indian restaurant and get it fresh when you need it.

2) use a food delivery service and get if from your favorite Indian restaurant

3) use a frozen variant found in many grocery stores.

4) cook yourself, which is not hard, but we can ignore it in this context.

What is the difference/ unique value prop from the above options?
> Overall, I don’t like the concept of dynamic kernel module compilation, though I understand it has to be done realistically in some cases.

On Haiku, kernel modules are relocateable ELFs, which is much more suited to this style of package management.
Yes — their engineering development principles can’t be (or haven’t been) used to successfully design and deploy a well understood technology like a website that can handle small spikes in traffic; why should we believe they have useful advice for more difficult projects?

In fairness to you, I wouldn't really call this "offensive".

"When I pass a series of inputs to the classifier, they are tagged with at least 65% precision and at least 65% recall."

It could be that the available data and current approach yield only 63%, in which case the user story is being worked on indefinitely for months.

Or it could be that 65% is achieved, but the threshold chosen was a wild guess; business value is actually linear all the way up to perfect, so it's worth iterating indefinitely.

The scrum & user story format work well for small and unambiguous units of customer-facing behavior, but some software is made of more than that.

Not OP, but I was curious:

Let's assume a good solar panel yields 15 watts per square foot under direct sunlight. The DOT estimates about 1.5 million acres of interstate in the US.

Without getting too complicated, let's assume we produce at our ideal wattage for 3 hours a day. Given our ideal solar panel, this is 2.94 billion kWh per day.

Getting ideal conditions on a highway surface is unrealistic, so let's assume our fictional extremely rugged solar panel can only yield 0.25 watts per square foot. Now we're sitting at 49.01 million kWh per day.

To put this into perspective, the US produces roughly 11.45 billion kWh per day. So turning all of our interstates into inefficient solar panels covers less than a half a percent of our energy production.

Caveat: this is shitty napkin math and omits all other paved surfaces in the US of which I'm sure non-federal roads and parking lots make up a lot of, but I couldn't find good sources for those.
Thanks for elaborating!

> Whereas on Haiku with packagefs, the package_daemon gives the packagefs the new state description, and it can update all of its internal states and re-bind everything internally with a lot less overhead, because both ends of the system know exactly what is going on.

That sounds reasonable. Thus far, my implementation is quick enough for the number of packages I’m dealing with, but perhaps I run into similar limitations down the road :)

> because the bootloader itself speaks "packagefs", and can load the kernel out of a package.

Understood, cool. I haven’t actually explored how to revert to older systems in the most user-friendly way in distri.

Currently, in the rare cases where I actually brick my system, I just boot distri from a USB stick (takes 20s to write), mount my disk and run “distri reset /var/log/distri/update/<latest>/before.txt”.

I’m thinking retaining old kernel/initrd combinations and mounting an older set of packages from the initrd might be a viable path.

> people who complain that Linux is unsuitable for $average_user will remain correct

Possibly, but that’s not what my project is trying to achieve :)
