For some definition of "serious" I think the gains from a readable implementation in your working language far outweigh performance or correctness concerns.

To put it another way, I'm rarely parsing data for it to be directly optimized into a machine language. I'm parsing data to extract parts I care about and then work with those parts. The more consistent this process is the easier it is to debug and fix. If my whole parsing/using-the-parsed-data pipeline is in the same language, say Javascript, then I am still only ever debugging the same language and runtime environment (eg: node v12 on whatever \*nix).

In a practical example, YARA[0] is (confusingly) used as both a format[1] and specific implementation[2] for sharing malware detection rules. ClamAV[3] is a popular open source antivirus engine that added YARA-the-format support a few years ago[4]. If you look at their grammar[5] file as well, you can see that one uses GNU Bison 3.0.4 the other uses 3.0.5. One is 3754 lines long, the other is 1849. We can expect these to behave differently. At a certain point, say because of how regular expressions are handled[6], it becomes easier to maintain your own parser than to deal with quirks/whims of someone else's implementation (generated or not).

Because relocating requires a tremendous effort: new housing, job, occupation, acquaintances, etc.

Because a lot of that cheap land is cheap for a reason: low/no data service, harsh weather, insufficient community.

Because "basic income" is free: the whole point of UBI is a basic income which one can get by on - non-zero effort to work at all withers against the prospect of being comfortable doing nothing; there is no imperative incentive to work.
> It's actually true that rising wages result in higher rents.

It's true in places with a constrained housing supply, i.e. restrictive zoning. Which is common in urban areas. But what you have there is a zoning problem, not a UBI problem -- evidence being that it's also true of higher wages and lower unemployment etc.

In unconstrained areas higher demand for housing causes more housing to be built, which prevents housing costs from absorbing anywhere near 100% of the new money.
You have not addressed why this is not a burden that should be shouldered by government versus business owners.

> I'd much rather have robust systems, with good public health incentives, then I am to see business owners pocket a few percentage points of profits.

For many small business owners, it can be the difference between paying yourself that week or not.
> And where did I say he was working on all problems?

Ok I understand, thanks.
The difference is only a theoretical though, you would not be able to circumvent taxes by saying I'm not getting paid, I am only compensated with a Bank account which has a limit of $x every month. So yeah, there is a theoretical difference but not a practical one.

But the argumentation is kinda strange, if you think you are not compensated correctly you could always get a job and leave child/elder care to somebody else. If you don't want that, it seems that you are ok with the compensation. If your partner does not want that, the problem is not the unpaid work but the gender roles. If you can't get a job which pays more that you would spend, one could argue that you are probably compensated fairly.

> A woman that loses her home because her husband gets fired from his job now has no compensation through no fault of her own.

This is imo a valid point, because she would still have to do the work without compensation (even though as both don't have paid work they would hopefully share the work)

This, kubernetes is container orchestration framework. If you know your needs then you have opportunity to make a better decision and planning. I had similar experience with ingress also I would like to add installing Kubernetes on bare metal is a pain in the neck, even with kubespray.

Here is a comparison with other frameworks, from 2018:

well if you have 1 service k8s is already useful. try to make blue/green or any other no downtime deployment.
especially with database changes.

in k8s deployments are deterministic, it will roll out X containers at once (X is configurable and defaults to 1)
If you have microservices then you need

Why not run them in docker containers with fixed IPs?
Ah, yes, the old “just shove it under the rug” strategy.
Your comment makes me so irrationally angry. I totally disagree. But I'll be civil.

I write scalable apps without K8. I moved away from it. Stateless services are trivial to scale.
What are the demographics of those that dropped out of the work force? Didn't some UBI studies observe that while there are people that dropped out of the workforce, these people consisted of mothers that can now go back to child rearing or younger people that can now pursue an education?

Why would it eliminate the premium? Companies would still be willing to pay extra for shorter term highly skilled workers that produce results.

And if that premium only existed because the company wasn't having to pay the employment taxes and benefits that they should, then it deserves to go away. It was tax avoidance, not an actual premium.
Readwise looks great, but their pricing is pretty buried...

Glibc malloc can return memory to the OS. This is what the trim that people are talking about does.
Disagree. Kids will do it in a mechanical way to maximize recall. Kids will obsess over all kinds of things.

Harnessing this for fun or profit is normal human behavior.

All those strawmen - I'll leave that for another time.
Mathematically they're entirely equivalent.

Although I'd be inclined to agree that negative income tax might be the better model, as it gives the most direct control over the net-income vs gross-income curve, and it's the properties of that curve that drives people's behaviour.

For instance the steepness of the curve indicates how much someone is incentivized to earn more (ideally you'd want this to decrease strictly monotonically as people earn more, but somehow this is rather controversial). And its curvature dictates whether a stable or unstable income incurs more tax (this property doesn't seem to be used much but it's still interesting).

One of the problems with income dependent welfare is that it messes up the lower end of the curve, making its slope smaller or even negative. In the worst case it provides a financial barrier to people on welfare to re-enter the work force.

> "A woman that loses her home because her husband gets fired from his job now has no compensation through no fault of her own."

To flip that around, is a homemaker (female or male) that doesn't do the household chores sufficiently therefore depriving their externally employed spouse (again female or male) of compensation as well "through no fault of their own"?

I'd be surprised to hear of a good, functioning marriage where one or both spouses, regardless of the genders involved, treated it as transactional or as an adversarial business relationship, which is what your line of argument seems to be suggesting.

Briefly, the state of Alaska owns the oilfields in Alaska and makes money from selling the oil. That money is then partially disbursed to people living in the state.

The actual payment has varied over time (with oil prices, mostly), peaking at $3269/person/year in 2008 but was only $878/person/year in 2012.

It really is one of those succinct descriptions that puts a complete image into your head. For me it came with smells and an ambiance.
You can unmap memory.
Mostly yes, with a lot of training.

For that, you have to look at aviation. IFR Pilots rely on instruments to fly, these are essentially a "new set of sensors". Using the instruments properly require some intense training. You need to know what to look at and when, it is almost like music, you need to follow a rhythm and do it consciously for a while until it becomes second nature. You also need to resolve conflicts between your gut feelings and the instrument readings: your gut is wrong and the instruments are right, but your brain won't accept that easily.

With planes becoming more and more complex, how to present informations to the pilot is critical. For simple planes you have a set of gauges the pilot need to check periodically. Then it started becoming too much, so a flight engineer was needed to deal with the ever increasing number of gauges. Now there are computer systems synthesizing sensor data to only show the pilot what he needs to fly the plane.

Back to cars, you cannot expect every driver to be trained like an IFR-certified pilot. So showing all sorts of sensor data is going to be counter productive.
In the context of the sentence it's clear that the post refers to "Typically Persecuted People", and I would argue that applies to all three.

We do not backup our data because we are planning to wreck our harddrive. We hope to never have to use it but if things go awry, it will be there.
Money is fungible. UBI + progressive income tax is the same as negative income tax plus UBI to cover people with 0 income.
The parameters matter not the name of the model.

Also we already have EITC negative income tax in US.
So negative income tax is either irrelevant rewording or cruel to people who can't work.

I feel that the pro-monolith / anti-microservice attitude has become something of a cargo cult (at least here on HN).
It’s the fact that automatic memory memory management can defragment through moving that is key. But there are also some manual memory managers that can defragment through moving as well - even some compatible with the malloc interface.
> Forcibly removing someone's money and transferring it to another person can never be justified

Except that almost everything government does involves removing someone's money - through taxes - and transferring it to another person - through social programs (including public school, building infrastructure), social programs, paying government employees, etc.

> If a billionaire wishes to privately sponsor UBI...

Extending this to include the social programs listed above: gee I can't wait to lick a billionaire's boots and do the hokey-pokey to be allowed to drive on their roads, have my burning house saved by their private firefighters, and send my kids to the schools they own.
I've read a few posts about how this standard is sufficient for GDPR compliance (and other regional regulations, like Brazil's LGPD). Might be useful to the HN crowd.
No because their income it not Basic.
You can already have a 30 hour work week if you want to do contract or part-time work, but for a full-time position you’d be competing with companies who still work 40-50 hour weeks so I don’t think there’s much practical opportunity here.
> Would fewer people in the workforce really be so bad?

Yes. Someone needs to work to produce the goods and services they use, as well as fund their UBI. The more people who opt out of working, the harder everyone else must work to compensate.

> What’s the carbon and water footprint of all of these goods we really don’t need but we bust our humps for anyway?

People dropping out of the workforce doesn't reduce the demand for those goods and services. In fact, giving people free income might increase the demands for goods and services as those people would have extra disposable income.
Top Best Forex Trading App for Beginners
This is a great example of something that happens when a technology/program/framework has a long history and an existing community. Most users have been there for a very long time and sometimes the instructions or documentation doesn't explain what new users may or may not know.

I see this a lot in the nodejs tooling, Azure, vmware. Each version of a product slowly changes the way the product works and most documentation, readme and blog posts miss key information that they assume people would already know. If I'm new to node, I may not know things. It's like when you have some sample C# code and it doesn't include the "using" line and/or the Nuget package used - assuming the person already knows what package would perform this task - because it's "obvious" to existing users.
You can find some good discussions about this by Dr. Matthiew Walker on Youtube. He has done some talks at Google, with Joe Rogan and Dr. Rhonda Patrick.
Portability - the idea being that you can migrate to an orchestration technology that makes sense when you have the need. The cost and effort of containerizing any single service from the get-go should be minimal. It also helps a lot with reproducibility, local testing, tests in CI, etc.

Valid reasons to not run containerized in production can be specific security restrictions or performance requirements. I could line up several things that are not suitable for containers, but if you're in a position of "simple but growing web app that doesn't really warrant kubernetes right now" (the comment I was replying to), I think it's good rule of thumb.

I agree with your main argument, of course.
That may all be true.

But its extremely dishonest to make the headline "people kept working" when 25% of them quit.
Why would you want to remember everything you read? That sounds like overtraining.

It's not clear that managing and drilling on so much information offers a significant improvement over what is likely the most important intervention mentioned: reading widely and with purpose.

Sure flashcards can help you remember things you need to memorize. But it's not clear they should become a way of life and an end in their own.

Why would we not want the baseline to improve over time? I genuinely do not understand the attitude that we should establish some extremely low bar like “is not currently at risk of starvation” and then never move the bar, but merely congratulating ourselves when more people pass that bar.
Good point. I used that feature in the past but somehow haven’t touched it in years.
I can't speak to how common that sort of custom tooling is in the industry, but as to whether it was necessary the article already explains that pretty clearly:

> The current process for building a pressure dome takes about a week; 1 or 2 days to tack up and fit steel sheets, 4 days to weld the sheets together, and 1 to 2 days for X-ray inspections and repairs.

> [...]

> The knuckle seamer looks something like a giant zipper that articulates over the front and back of a dome, like a taco shell around its filling. [...] Then, in about 10 minutes, an automated torch will trace down the length of the curve, providing a precise weld. Following this, the dome is rotated to bring the next seam into view.

> [...]

> With this new X-ray machine, SpaceX hopes to compress a process that can take a day down to a few hours.

So the new machines reduce the amount of time needed to weld and inspect a pressure dome from several days to several hours. I'm certainly no expert, but that seems like a pretty big deal to me.
Was this just general derision in the form of "people on twitter" or had an economist somewhere made a cogent economic rebuttal? It's the latter I was interested and hoping someone could point me in the direction of. Not particularly interested in hearing what twitter person thinks about UBI-I'm rather ignorant to certain economic arguments about UBI myself, and am trying to address this, if that makes sense.

So why don't managers and administrators work to produce things? They seem capable of labor, and they're paid extra, but they work less. Why?

Edit: You downvoted me within a minute of my posting. I asked two questions. If you can't answer them, then it is because you fear their answers.

So let's answer them! Managers and administrators don't produce things because they claim that their positions allow them to optimize labor. Specifically, their bonus pay is based upon the idea that management and administration increases output proportional to their efficacy. It follows that we should measure the output of management practices, and compensate managers according to their actual impact.
> You don't need K8s until you start to build a half-assed K8s.

which you start doing with more than 1 db server and more than one app server.
until you realize you have a ansible script that is tied to your specific program. oh shit now you have two programs, and copied some stuff from ansible, but not everything is the same - damn.
deployments occur a downtime (5 seconds), which some user notice - until you add like a thousand lines of ansible code.
now you need monitoring and oh shit another ansible bloat, soon you outgrown k8s codebase with just ansible.
(p.s. this does not account how you start your baremetal servers, etc. this would be another story)

I don't see thus as an argument against rebase. In fact, rebasing your branch interactively allows you to examine the conflicts, if any, in the context of the feature branch and fix them. If you merge the base branch into your branch, you get a mix of changes that are hard to reason about in the context of your feature branch and the automatically generated commit message doesn't provide much information about what was done to resolve any conflicts.

On the other hand, its a lot easier to see if a conflict resolution attempt didn't work during a rebase because the individual commit diffs and the overall diff would make obvious (e.g., unrelated code in the master branch was changed out removed).
EB or ECS specific knowledge is AWS specific. I can (and do) run k8s on my laptop and can (and do) deploy Helm charts (the ones I wrote or 3rd party ones) on any k8s install. So that's quite different to the usual vendor lock in that comes with proprietary cloud services.

I agree, and the arena movement in tcmalloc solves the over assignations in ptmalloc when one thread allocates and other frees.

Nevertheless I prefer jemalloc because I find the stats and memory profiling awesome to find leaks or structural over assignation.

Potential scenarios for the progression of a Covid-19 epidemic in the EU
It is extremely unfortunate but studies like this are almost always done by people with somewhat close-ended goals. This research in this one is mostly self reports, and then, mostly "did free money make you feel better?"

They are not recording, or interested in recording, the nature of who dropped out of the workforce and why, even though that seems like far more important, and somewhat more empirical, information.
> As it stands, "poor" is a moving target for which a great number of people have a vested interest in covering a consistent, if not growing, population.

Nearly all Kings and Emperors were 'poorer' than most Westerners under the poverty line of today. They had no refrigeration, antibiotics, electricity, etc. But we still agree that there are 'poor' people today, and I think we're correct to say so. Yes, it is a moving target, and thank God that it is such. If 'progress' means that we have to drag the least lucky of us up to levels of decadence that Cesar could never have though of, I'm more than on board for that. Quibbling about the exact definition of poor for all of time is useless. Charge ahead, have the 'poor' of our grandchildren's time be the wealthy of today.
> the harder everyone else must work to compensate

I really don't want to get into this argument but supposedly productivity gains from automation/AI should make those who keep working work proportionally less to compensate non-workers.

Why I don't want to get into this argument: there's no conclusive view about UBI + automation yet, so it's all speculation
It will be there for a beautiful cross-section of humanity for a while so long as Musk controls it (but even then he surely has some unconscious biases that will limit certain segments of the population from being there) and then nuclear war will break out on Earth and it will be there for whoever is well-connected to whatever government seizes control of it fastest.
Problem is hidden assumptions. Happens a lot with microservices too. People write about the problems they're solving somewhat vaguely and other people read it and due to that vagueness think it also is the best solution to their problem.
As long as our government doesn't have a public service with an unlimited supply of entry-level jobs, it is disingenuous to talk about poverty as only endable by work. Poverty can be ended by money as well, and given that poverty is defined by (lack of) money, it doesn't seem right to focus on work.
People have studied the problem you talk about. Their statistical tool to address it is the GINI coefficient:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficient
I'm not sure I follow, but you're probably talking about a scenario where the risk/reward ratio is not 1:1. Sure, it's more complicated then. If you take a 10% chance bet 10 times and it has a risk of -1 and reward of +10, on average you'll get (-1 * 9) + (+10 * 1) = 1.
