The problem is that there is more than one market here. There is a general market where people love the vendor looking after their security and doing things for them, and there is a pro/hacker market where people want to control things themselves and dont want a lot of this stuff.
Would love to know the answer to this too..
I'd argue somewhat the opposite. Because WebAssembly is abstract but low level, it makes it really easy for a platform to optimize specifically for that platform, so instead of creating a need for specific platforms, it'll allow more diverse systems to run the same "native" blobs.
There is no universal truth when it comes to subjective things.

I am really glad that the status quo works for you and feels fulfilling. I genuinely am.

But I can't focus in an open office, I end up wasting the whole day on busy work, and when I get home in the evenings I end up doing my actual work.

So, I'm glad for you, but don't drag me into the open office. I'm not productive and you will resent my lack of productivity.

Looks like 120 is the emergency number for ambulances in China, emergency at sea in Norway, police in Guatemala, and national police in Bolivia [1]. Alternatively, maybe it interpreted "120 degrees Fahrenheit" as a body temperature reading for an extremely high fever?

Just not enough room really. Maybe(read: no) you could get 5m^2 of panels on a car. With 100% efficient panels the energy would be 5 * 1000 W m^2 = 5000 watts which is about 7 horse power.

That is a bit below what a very aerodynamic car needs to maintain highway speed so sort of relevant from a range extension perspective but 100% efficient panels and 5m^2 being fully illuminated at once are not very realistic assumptions.

I could see electric trucks(non commuting) + tiny home on wheel with big arrays potentially being viable though. That + starlink would make a pretty cool working remote combo.
I think you misinterpreted my original comment (which is why yours seemed like a non-sequitur to me).

I wasn't saying Garry doesn't have any big games, I was saying that the list of games made using Unity doesn't include many big/AAA games. I also wondered why this might be.

To clarify, I'm not saying there aren't AAA Unity games, just that I didn't immediately see one. Nor am I stating that Rust is not as good as a AAA game, I made my position clear that AAA is more to do with resources. I would even go so far as to say it's more of a marketing term. What I am saying is that is seems like (from the lists I saw) a lot more large and AAA titles are made using Unreal Engine, and I wondered what specifically leads to that.

> The point is Garry's opinion is more valid than most, even at AAA probably about Unity.

I'm not sure why that's the point. It has absolutely nothing to do with what I was talking about. This thread was about Unity being better targeted as small/indie/mobile developers, and I was responding in that context.

Rust lang - Memory safety through zero cost abstraction as a way to eliminate a large class of errors in systems languages is interesting. Especially if it allows more people to write systems programs.

WASM - Mostly as a compile target for Rust, but I think this changes the way software might be deployed. No longer as a website, but as a binary distributed across CDNs.

ZK-SNARKS - Zero knowledge proofs are still nascent, but being able to prove you know something while not revealing what it is has specific applicability for outsourcing computation. It's a dream to replace cloud computing as we know it today.

The m5 instance family was announced in 2017, IIRC.
I had some positive outcomes using Postgres and Mongo as essentially a front end cache. The use case was unique in that all of the spark/etl jobs ran against postgres, which then triggered caching workers to build up a more document oriented cache that the front end talked to. Essentially allowing the front end to get a KV on steroids and documents already prepared well to be rendered and pre joined.

Against a specific use case. I was never burned by Mongo, but I wouldn’t choose it if I had to have one backend only. It lends itself nicely as part of an ecosystem imho

For me, lifting heavy weights three days a week fixed my posture, heart rate, and breathing issues. Back exercises like deadlifts and barbell rows were especially helpful for countering the tendency to hunch forward due to computer use. The endorphin release is also a great mood booster.

I say this because it makes me wonder about the causality. I’m not convinced breathing exercises by themselves do much good for physical health, but rather that good breathing habits are a consequence of overall good health.
All factors considered, solar panels average 10-20 watts/m^2. A Tesla uses ~325Wh/mile, Leaf ~250, Cybertruck ~500.

Putting PV panels on a vehicle can give you a few miles per day - enough to get you to a plug if battery drains too low. More an emergency tool than viable power source.

> I get that privacy is important, but I'm struggling to understand why I'm supposed to care about a company logging data on the temperature of the beef I'm cooking. If they want to badly enough to secretly add telemetry code and not tell me? Great, have fun. Enjoy. I'll not lose any sleep over it.

as we learn time and time again with this kind of thing, the scary things don't come from the data and metrics that they want, the scary things come as a form of collateral damage that occurs when the company does whatever they have to do in order to harvest the metrics that they're interested in.

Here's a devils' advocate leap that isn't too far from the realities of IoT devices: Company X's telemetry function is broken, allowing arbitrary remote code execution. The IoT device receives a command that causes property or personal damage -- or it becomes a node in a much larger destructive network.

These things happen when features get packed in faster than the security can follow.

Yeah, yeah, the Weber product is just a thermometer. It can still be a node in a malicious network, given attacker incentive.

This is a poor example -- it's an interface that accepted and expected inputs -- but I think it serves as a good example of IoT doing security wrong.

If your goal is to power the car while driving, even 100% efficient solar cells wouldn't be enough, as there simply isn't enough surface area to gather enough energy to power a normal car doing normal driving. If your goal is to leave the car sitting charging in the sun all day, that's a bit more practical, but I believe there aren't yet any production vehicles like that yet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_car

> But I think OPs point was that programming in a container encourages a more fragile setup.

I don't see how that point can be argued at all, particularly if the project is expected to be deployed with Docker.
So is part of the bet here that future potential efficiency numbers will continue to increase at a rate faster than silicon can? Or is strictly a low cost play?
> well maybe with a touch of thrift thrown in there

In my experience thrift is the overriding factor. The cost difference between an open office plan and individual offices is staggering. It can be an order-of-magnitude difference, especially if you factor in the additional cost to build individual offices into a typical open floor plan. Few companies choose to put their money there. Many could not afford it at all.

In leadership teams at many companies I've heard very little talk about control in this way, explicit or covert. Open office plans aren't necessary for control. Doors are not a shield from control. People in individual offices can be controlled in similar ways.

I don't like the feeling of being observed all day, either. I think it's damaging to some/many people's ability to work. It can turn into an artificial hegemony; it certainly can be used for control. But so can many things, from salary to coffee supplies to bullying. Control will always find a way to control. Open offices are about the money.

You could drop it, but require changes to be submitted back or themselves be source available.
Yeah, this is the future I've been foreseeing for years. Every new OS update just ever so slightly decreases your ability to control what software is on your device, and how you can use it.

For example, you used to be able to back up your purchased iOS apps to your computer, and restore them from your computer. In one iOS update (9 IIRC?), they removed the ability to back up the apps from your phone. In a later iOS/iTunes update, they removed the ability to restore backed up apps from your computer, making your existing backed-up apps useless, if you still had them.

Now, the only way to keep your software on your iPhone indefinitely is to never delete it, and never reformat your phone. Ohh and never update iOS because they will break backwards compatibility with apps you already have. For any app that is no longer supported by the developer, you're just out of luck (and I have purchased MANY such apps, being an iPhone user since 2009).

For me, it's half half. I actually do love the aesthetic of the open office, the large clearing space and the beautifully connected common areas. It's so vast and 'open'.

The Yuan is heavily managed. If there was no PBOC intervention in FX markets the Yuan would fall 50%, and that’s before any capital even leaves.

The PBOC is running low on FX reserves relative to the demand that they have to serve. I’ve seen a few analysts talk about a dollar shortage in China. That’s why they’re suffocating businesses in bureaucracy when they want to get their money out of China. One could say the capital will never be allowed to leave, because really it’s like it went into a black hole within the Chinese financial system, ie it doesn’t exist, it exists only nominally in whatever bank the company happens to deal with.

On top of that there is a sizable amount of dollar-denominated debt in the Chinese domestic system, so a mega deval of the yuan could be mayhem.

The subjectivity of experience doesn't prevent something being science.

How might someone conduct a blinded placebo controlled trial of a suicide prevention campaign, or of parental advice to help reduce risk of cot death, for example?

They wouldn't. They'd roll up their sleeves and get deeply involved in the messy, unpredictable world of human emotion and social interaction.

And that's good and appropriate, and there are effective and responsible methods for doing it.

Just because we can point to something and say "aha, that's subjective" doesn't mean we need to eliminate it. In fact, the more we try to eliminate it, the harder it becomes to translate evidence from the lab to the real world.

It's like reading something I wrote! I've been in the same boat (chronic hyperventilation, acid reflux, headache, panic attacks) for the past 10+ years and it also started with a health scare. However in my case, it seems to be mostly related to muscle tenseness caused by serotonin imbalance. I finally had too many episodes few years ago and it forced me to learn about it and find ways to deal with it.

Without knowing the root cause in your case, the only thing I can suggest is to train yourself to breathe right while your figure out the underlying cause. The Breathing Retraining chapter of the PTSD Handbook [1] is the best resource I've found for this.

I suggest you see a psychiatrist as chronic hyperventilation can be related to mental health issues.

Ah... the good old Model 500.
While I cannot give a definitive answer because I am not an expert on Spark internals, my opinion is that the discrepancy results mainly from query and runtime optimization.

Apart from adding new features (e.g., ACID support), a lot of effort is still put into optimizing queries and runtime. In essence, Hive is a tool specialized for SQL, so it tries to implement all the optimizations you can think of in the context of executing SQL queries. For example, Hive implements vectorized execution, whose counterpart in Spark was implemented only in a later version (with the introduction on Tungsten IIRC). Hive even supports query re-execution: if a query fails with a fatal error like OOM, Hive re-generates a new query after analyzing the runtime statistics collected by then. The second query usually runs much faster, and you can also update the column statistics in Metastore.

In contrast, Spark is a general-purpose execution engine where SparkSQL is just an application. I remember someone comparing Spark to Swiss army knife, which enables you to do a lot of things easily, but is no match against specialized tools developed for a particular task. My (opinionated) guess is that SparkSQL will be replaced by Hive and Presto, and Spark streaming will be replaced by Flink.
