> which really should have implemented a well-known concept (Monoid, Monad, Alternative, whatever), but they fell short because they (probably) didn't know the concept

If that's not smug self-satisfaction, I don't know what is. No consideration that there were reasons they implemented their system in a different way. Suggestion that it was done due to ill-education on their part. I reread it carefully after your accusation. I don't want to too readily assume the worst in people. I am extremely comfortable with the accusation I laid on that thread.

But to your other point, I don't consider the possibility that they have good reason for their smugness. I don't find it implausible (as I said, albeit sarcastically), I just find smugness entirely orthogonal to correctness. There are brilliant smug people, but flat-earthers are also among the more smug people I've encountered.

If I lived in a world with only ten languages, I might agree I was punishing myself more than them. But I will never learn every language, tool, technique or skill I want to, so why would I ever start here?
That's like saying Facebook shouldn't be profitable because anyone can come up with a social media platform.

There are user costs to switching platforms, even if the platform is a ride sharing app. I get that the friction is less than something like Facebook, but an amount much, much smaller than 23 billion would have been enough to 1.) have the best app on the market and 2.) advertise/discount where necessary to maintain some market share.

If your customers have an unsustainable business model and you have favorable unit economics and a market leading position, you can quite literally sit on your cash flow (good unit economics and low overhead lets you survive market share losses) and wait until everyone else goes out of business.

A fully charged Tesla could power my condo for a week at normal loads, in emergency mode probably a month. And of course, you would limit your charge usage to a safe margin.
This isn't a plan for huge disasters, but would be a great thing to have for people who live in regions with pretty reliable power supply to bridge outages of a few hours to a day or two.
And of course, if you have solar on the roof, the car could be the bridge almost infinitely long.
You can configure ssh-agent to ask for confirmation if you set the `-c` flag in ssh-add or by setting `AddKeysToAgent` to `confirm` in your ssh config [1].

Once set, authentication will require confirmation via a GUI dialog provided by the ssh-askpass command. However, it does not mention the command or process requesting for authentication.

It works great on Linux, but I couldn't get it to work on macOS with the system keychain.

What mainframes are available like a cloud provider for me to get hosting?

eg I want to run code on a mainframe and pay for the equivalent of a VM (or an actual VM)... who does this for a z15?
I'll tell you more, if you need routing for yourself then open-source OsmAnd has offline routing on Android and, probably, iOS. Info on public transport is not perfect but more than usable where I am. That's in addition to the tons of information from OSM: from local businesses to features specific to maritime navigation, flying and horse-riding.

The only thing that it misses is info on traffic load—which might be tricky to gather for a FOSS service while critically depending on the quantity of collected data.
Actually, I see the opposite of what you said.

It's possible you see it this way because you've grown into your position before there was a cloud, or perhaps you had more free money to spend on things (pocket money or so on).

When I was younger, I was poor. The kind of poor I was (not starving, but no disposable income of any kind and certainly no personal money) is enough to kill the premise of learning a cloud provider dead.

What I mean is: if you need a credit card, it's probably not going to work. There's no way I could attach a credit card to something, there's no way I could spend $5/mo on learning, I didn't have $5 to my name, much less a credit card. And the risk of overspending even if you do have some spare income is fucking -scary- as a person who is poor. The idea that I could not have money for food because I forgot to delete something is stifling.

I learned nearly everything I know on 10 year old hardware that I picked up for free or near free. That is accessibility.

As it stands today I'm pretty flush with cash, but I -still- worry about unexpected cloud costs. Mostly because I work with it every day and know concretely how easy it is for the costs to balloon.

So, no, I think it's the same level of accessibility as mainframes, you can't work against an "old" cloud provider that you picked up for almost nothing. You have to put your money where your mouth is, and experimentation has a financial cost.

Only people who can help you foot the bill (university, employer) or who can clean down environments properly (tutorial labs) are going to make it even remotely more accessible, but it still wont be as accessible even then.

Accessibility of running things at home is why many of us are able to do this job, I think the majority of people my age spun up a PHP/MYSQL pairing and started messing with things, it was easy, and it was "free" if you already had a PC, and it could be exposed to the internet.. you learned a lot, incrementally.

This is the fundamental reason why certain tech prevails for so long.

Where did you learn (or, more generally, where do people learn) about those Sum types?

The Wikipedia page for "Sum type" redirects to "Tagged union", implying those are synonyms; do you agree with that?

Sadly, that Wikipedia page only seems to refer to pages specific to some programming languages.

Could you maybe recommend an introductory book about type theory, preferably with an orientation to how it can be applied to language design? EDIT: or maybe a programming language theory book? To be honest, I am mainly interested in imperative languages, basically how could a better Go have been made.

I am not entirely sure what you mean, what I am trying to say is that if someone believe he was transphobic, then it would be enriching of the conversation if they took care not to use the fact that he is making that distinction as an argument for that statement.

Specifically I think it is in the interest of the side challenging the status quo to keep their arguments as precise as possible.

Otherwise conversations become extremely difficult and layered, like a relationship fight that stem from a resentment decades old. There are so many branches and so many directions that even if the core problem might be easy it requires a monumental effort just to get close to it.

Intrinsically examples of where I think this happened would be flamebait topics :)

Costa Rica is not a "cheap" country by any means. Even in a "soda", which is about as cheap as you can get, a meal will be on the order of $7 per person. What the OP is probably saying is that he tried to pay with a $20 bill and would have got change, but the person wouldn't take it, not that the meal was $20.

When I go I hardly ever exchange money, I just use USD and credit cards with no foreign transaction fees (AMEX mostly). I get change in colones and will use that as I can (entrance to beach, small transactions, etc.), but in general everybody takes USD. You just need to be aware of the fact that you'll probably get a bit screwed over in the exchange rate at smaller shops/individuals. It's helpful to know what the rate is and negotiate a bit. Most true restaurants/shops will use whatever the bank rate is that day because it'll be in a POS system, but the farther out you go from the big cities the more likely you'll hit mom and pop stores that randomly choose some rate. If paying by credit card, always make sure they do it in local currency.

I enjoyed reading this but wouldn't have running either "netstat -s" or "ss -s" to show protocol statistic have shown either receive buffer errors/receive packet errors statistics? It seems like this basic tool was noticeably absent from the early troubleshooting steps and other standard troubleshooting tools used.

I understand the importance of the ultimate fix but wouldn't seeing an incrementing error counter for UDP have shortened some of the troubleshooting done to identify and resolve the customer's immediate issue?

The cloudformation team is small bc the people who run it are not fun to work with and not willing to bring on talent with their own opinions. It's a weird irony, dug in and overall detrimental.

The only option teams that need CI/CD for their cloud resources & want to use cloudformation for most of it is to have a side chain process for handling resources that can't be expressed with Cloudformation. (not at all insurmountable but shouldn't be necessary)

You can say that, but then where is another Amazon? People like to say these things are basically zero-friction and completely liquid, but it's not true. If you can kill all the taxis and discourage private vehicle ownership because you control 'Ubering', there will be a profound cultural habit to use YOU, 'Uber', rather than some slightly cheaper replacement.

I don't know if it's worth as many billions as it's cost so far, but it's not nothing. This is being done because a monopoly of this type is NOT so easily busted by some bright spark 'disruptor'. If nothing else, you can spend a few more billions buying whispering campaigns suggesting that the new 'disruptor' is unsafe or tainted, or simply attack them more directly, terrorize their drivers, whatever.

Even without such black tactics the notion of frictionless liquidity in market dynamics is foolish. It doesn't work that way.
Microsoft Teams comes out of the box with the necessary SharePoint like features for document collaboration. That includes editing right in the web browser, as well as a button to open the document in your local install of Office. You can see if the document is synced online, look at changes, comment, and merge changes. Everything you need for a decent experience. No longer a need for setting the whole thing up yourself, and non technical folks can definitely use it.

You still have some pains with it, but its better than anything else I have seen for a non technical user.
We'd have to do a study to know for sure, but as a North American having lived in Western Europe for several years now, I think you are massively overestimating the importance of the US in Europe or the world. Most people here know next to nothing about the US or the anglosphere, except for some stereotypes and exported cultural artefacts.

They know about as much about the US as the average American does about Germany or how to speak German, which is basically nothing.

One has to remember, English is a business tool here, the majority cannot speak English fluently, and they do not use it in their free time, or if they do it is to watch US TV shows or movies, not read American literature. Add to that, that more recently, a lot of the people I meet openly hate the US.

Most Americans who visit only interact with the segment of population which can speak English, not with the majority of locals who can't.

Uber drivers are made worse off by Uber yet they join and drive in droves and overall seem happy about it. Do you have an explanation for this apparent contradiction?
My stupidity indeed. Thanks for pointinng this out. I assumed cars was the default (I changed the Panama link above). Both bridges are closed for cyclists, but ferries cross the river as well. So the routing includes those, very nice!
In what sense is Julia a lisp in drag? I'm just starting in on it it doesn't seem any more lispy than any other dynamic language. In particular I've yet to see a car/cdr.
Right, but I was thinking of a full power outlet, which here in Germany can deliver over 3kW. This would enable to run any electric device you can plug in from your car. Very convenient on the road, and as I wrote, a great solution for emergency power.
It seems that the cybertruck will have a power outlet standard, but as the charger electronics already seem to support this, should be an option for all Teslas and other electric vehicles.

That's my reaction too - most people here are somewhat jealous of their "ownership rights" over this or that document, since this often define their actual roles. It looks like Fluid is trying to "share everything" and that's too much.

I'd be happier with something that simply allows me to have a github-like workflow where I can propose and justify changes to this or that block of document, and an owner can sanction and merge. This would not touch internal hierarchies (the most sacred element of corporate life) but would improve collaboration.

If Fluid is a step in that direction, it's welcome. Unfortunately to me it looks more like "web-native COM objects" and few people ever liked those.

> That's what WSL is about, trying to win back developers. That's why they bought Xamarin and Github. That's why they released VS Code. They're trying to win back developers by meeting them whereever they are, even if they know they are targeting platforms where Microsoft is not dominant and has no hope of becoming so. They're trying to make it feasible to target a linux webserver while developing on Windows. They're trying to make Azure a serious contender for cloud computing outside of the corporate C# world.

So in other words, what you're saying is they are Embracing this FOSS linux-based developer workflow...

And you could almost say they're Extending the linux kernel to support DX12 on WSL...

> using AWK will almost always be faster than designing a schema and importing into a database first

I have never had to do that with unstructured data - ah wait, I lie! I pulled data off the covid wiki page, a quick emacs regexping, a bit of macrology, pasted it into a spreadsheet (libreoffice recognises it's tab or whatever separated) and bingo, you're off.

> Oh, and want to know a really good tool for getting data from a text file into a database? AWK!

For smallish amounts, I use emacs regexps. For data too large for emacs, I'd probably use python.

> and without fuss that can create value for your company, and those are things that can go on your resume.

That's not how it works any more. They look for skills. They should not, they should do as you say, but seems not any more.

> specific things you have accomplished becomes more important than the keywords on your resume

again, no. Believe me, I have a track record of delivering, but all my job agents do is match by skills. And that's what their clients want. It's depressing.

> It’s like the HN myth of how there’s supposedly all these old devs writing COBOL for the government and in reality the government can’t find any developers to maintain their ancient apps

Exactly. I worked at a private, multi-billion dollar organization a few years ago. There were plenty of "old devs" working on their COBOL software, but they also got paid more than 6 figures to do so. And they hired recent grads to work on those same systems. New grads typically started around 60k, more if you negotiated better. Whereas these gov't jobs only pay around 35k - 75k for the same work. For someone with years of experience.

Why is the world so crazy? Has it always been like this?

Mostly, yes. Crazy is easy to profit from. The media paints a bleak picture because it keeps them in business. Businesses keep crazy going because people spend money to escape from it. Wall Street keeps it going because complex financial instruments are a good earner.

Rich people are getting richer at the moment. They're the only ones with the power to change things but they have no will to do so.

It’s going to be open-source, so I’d bet that Microsoft will package some kind of on-prem server like Exchange and SharePoint if enterprise demands it. But since lots of enterprises are moving to Office 365 anyway (including big banks that historically had massive security requirements), if Microsoft can make a security SLA, maybe it’s enough?
only if you ignore why it's more expensive to live in NYC. it's more expensive because it's more desirable to live in NYC than Peoria. waterfront property is also more expensive than similar inland properties. the water doesn't locally inflate the dollar; it's a feature that people pay extra for.

if you accept that the real value of a dollar is less in NYC, you also have to accept weird consequences like a CPU from amazon is worth less there as well.
If you already have a car and are carrying all of the fixed costs of that (a not uncommon case, at least in the US), I think that driving Uber is quite a bit positive financially for the drivers.

If you go out and buy a car solely to drive Uber, I still think you're in the black, as evidenced by the non-trivial amount of Uber drivers who are driving rented cars where the rental company is bearing any long-term costs and bundling them up for the drivers in weekly rentals.

Those drivers are then able to make an easy calculation of "what did I take in this week vs what did I pay out this week?" and I doubt they'd be doing it if that sum was negative or too small week after week, suggesting that when the car rental company's profits are taken out and held by the long-term car-owning drivers, that they should also be profitable.
