I'll cede we don't want 55-yr-old leches next door to young adults. But I'm not sure it's necessary it has to be an SRO, if from what I understand is a term for low income/homeless focused housing. There should be a way for the lower priced remote college tuition to pay for the housing and requirements for only remote attendees to live there. But maybe I'm not seeing something.
I'm still amazed how small the Godot editor is (last time I checked it was ~25MB). Just how are they able to pack this much functionality into such little space?
Well, you know, since there's Social Media degrees nowadays, a degree in E-Mail isn't really that outlandish as it would have been some years ago. :P
I host about a dozen rails apps of different vintage and started switching from Dokku to Digital Ocean Kubernetes. I had a basic app deployed with load balancer and hosted DB in about 6 hours. Services like the nginx ingress are very powerful and it all feels really solid. I never understood Dokku internals either so them being vastly simpler is no help for me. I figured for better or worse kubernetes is here to stay and on DO it is easier than doing anything on AWS really. I have used AWS for about 5 years and have inherited things like terraformed ECS clusters and Beanstalk apps. I know way more about AWS but I feel you need to know so much that unless you only do ops you cannot really keep up.

It's amazing that a native Windows/Mac app can be compiled to run in a web browser. However Web-assembly does not mean better performance. A native browser app would most likely be faster.
You could certainly execute a Terraform script from an Airflow DAG, but I wouldn't say it's a common use case.
"It is also a big chunk of what corporate chief executive officers ... do". This is a small example of how most of Mr. Levine's writing is reductive to the point of being crude.

Executives are allowed to advocate for their companies. But only with information that has already been publicly disclosed. Don't believe me? How did the SEC feel about Elon Musk tweeting non-public information about his public company?

Mr. Levine is correct that this action by short sellers is legal. But that part of his analogy is wrong. He could have ended the analogy with "That's like half of financial television." However he chose to add on a point that is not applicable to the situation.

For a long time I enjoyed Mr. Levine's writings. Until I started to read his opinions on topics in which I have domain knowledge. At which point I realized his writing lack nuance and offers analogies that feel cut & dry but are anything but.

I realize this is true of many opinion writers. But Mr. Levine enjoys a great deal of notoriety for opinions that lack sophistication & rigor.
Feel like it would've been useful to require a manifest.json or some such that spec'd required permissions right next to the deno package on the FS, in the web server web root. This is not different from manifests for Web Extensions. Then anyone could write their own CLI to download and cache packages but have their own "excluded permissions" list that throws/rejects packages that overreach or could potentially overreach.

Now package writers have a feedback metric for getting as granular as possible with that access their package needs. Even better, anyone could build server infrastructure that does not the client-side validation bit for package consumers with their own attendant CLI tool.

It looks to me Deno opens the possibility of multiple NPMs, which is a good thing over the de facto monopoly NPM exerts today.
So you chose to conflate the loss of irreplaceable Native American artifacts and historical records with the loss of a life, on a thread discussing material items?

I get that this is emotional, but that was not warranted. The rioters have destroyed the historical records of a Native American tribe and I'd like to think that they've suffered enough. The point was to show that it's not only cheap Target things being lost here.
You say that like it's a bad thing. A declarative model is infinitely better for representing complex systems than scripts and mind space. The challenge is actually being able to get to that point.
Or the people that can afford it buy 100s of them and sell for even higher price to the people who might need one.
One of my favorite parts about Godot is that it gets away from those crazy load times / lockup you experience in Unity/Unreal. The .import file it associates with your asset is plaintext. Definitely running into fewer merge conflicts.

Lets not confuse correlation with causation. All this study shows is people with insulin resistance are at significant risk of dying from Covid, it doesn't identify what actually kills them.
However, if you look at the role Vitamin D plays [1] in suppressing cytokine storms, which is what actually pushes over an organism to the point beyond recovery from Covid, and then understand that Vitamin D deficiency is common [2] in Type 2 diabetes, you can begin to understand the fuller picture.

To look at a related question, where do you draw the line between stakeouts and planting GPS devices?

The question should not be some sort of line-drawing based on looking at the narrow capabilities of a particular device or practice change. It needs to be a look at what those capabilities do to the current balance of civilian rights and responsibilities, and whether we wish to live in a world of robotic surveillance and law enforcement.
I am not downplaying anything and your points don't dispute my major argument of people are more important property.

Are you willing to pay 10x more for the product with that supposed extra reliability (100% vs 99.99966%)? Before you answer, you must remember that perfection cannot be proven ex-ante, it can only be assured.

You should also keep in mind that real systems have fault modes aside from software bugs and hardware glitches, such as unanticipated edge cases and user error, which may dominate your actual failure statistics.

It wasn't explicitly calling for violence but Elon Musk's recent tweet [1] calling for "politicians & unelected bureaucrats" to be "tarred, feathered & thrown out of town" certainly was trending in that direction and could easily have been interpreted as a call for violence, or at least assault, by some sections of Musk's vast (35 million) collection of followers. Especially when the particular 'unelected bureaucrat' that Musk had been most vociferously complaining about and attacking, the Alameda County Health Officer, had been named in numerous news reports.

A bullet is a bullet, a round refers to the whole package - bullet, powder, case, etc. I'm referring to just the bullet part.

You're probably right on overpenetration though.

> accuracy

For accuracy up to a few hundred rounds you likely want boat tail hollow point, not a steel penetrator. Just look at the loads for prs, cmp, etc. Military bullets are not made to be the most accurate.

> Yeah no one will care about this once an actual near-peer war kicks off.

Probably right, though restrictions on bullet types have been around for like over a hundred years, and most modern US bullets adhere to the spirit of that.

It's also worth pointing out that there are a whole bunch of those international agreements that the US hasn't signed. Cluster bombs, for example.
Well, there are allegations about everything to do with Google. Makes it difficult to take any of them seriously, even the ones with substance. Sigh.
Generally high demand and higher prices are accepted.

I don't think people mind that, and over the long term things work out.

But if we're talking about short term demand for specific products like say medical masks or bottled water during extraordinary events, it's not clear that someone can ramp up production to fulfill demand ... nor that those items will go to the places they're needed such as a hospital and not just someone with a lot of cash on hand's closet...

These short term extraordinary events don't seem to have the lead time for the market to work very well and the side effects are not considered desirable by many people.
What the 'Obamagate' Scandals Mean and Why They Matter
That line of thinking is incentivizing violence as a means of "being heard". Whoever riots the loudest and strongest gets to speak and be listened to. No doubt the next step after listening is to compromise, aka "meet in the middle".
I was not arguing in favor of shooting anyone. I was simply pointing out that dismissing the destruction in generality as "stuff" is in error and minimizing the effect. Don't lose objectivity in the face of tragedy.
Hashcash is a different idea with the same goal of making certain email behaviors financially infeasible by tying emails to a more limited resource. The limited resource in IM2000 is -- well, that's complicated, I would say internet domains but someone else might say something like network availability. But in Hashcash it is clearly processor cycles.

Hashcash is "used anywhere" in the sense that it's the idea behind bitcoin. There's a duality here where the very introduction of limited scalable resources which makes a cryptocurrency possible, also can be used in a different way to make spam impossible.

In that duality it is actually kind of interesting to think about IM2000. One would imagine a cryptocurrency based on something like "proof of network bandwidth shared" or something, which would be really hard to theoretically formalize. But if you could get a secure definition then that fundamental idea becomes rather explosive. Like I imagine a sort of viral peer-to-peer filesharing network kind of like BitTorrent which would end up as a sort of alternative to the World Wide Web; whereas there are huge clusters of bitcoin miners right now trying to chug out more proofs-of-work, in that situation you would have large numbers of proxy hosts trying to mirror more and more files online.

Right now it would be possible to do some really nasty things to bitcoin by designing software which stores arbitrary files in the spare bits in the ledger. If that software becomes really widespread then inevitably someone uses it to upload MP3s or, worse, illegal pornography and those things get ossified into the Bitcoin ledger and you cannot remove public access to that content without taking down the entire blockchain; probably what happens in practice is that the sharing software itself gets demonized as "only pirates/perverts use that sharing software." But one is immediately confronted with concerns about "hey if I download the blockchain am I technically performing an illegal action" to which the legal answer is probably "yes" at that point. The law doesn't usually care about whether you need sophisticated software to decode that crap.

If you had a cryptocurrency that was based on "I hosted and transmitted data, but I don't know what that data was" then I think you would have a sort of robustness to the network, maybe, where the offending data is not in the ledger. With that said, probably it gets a similar stigma as "only pirates/perverts use that, all the rest of us use the web."
Yikes, good question. I thought about it for a bit:

Here's a toy example adding three-bit numbers, where all letters are bits (0 or 1) and you can normally only add one bit at a time.

a b c
+ d e f
-------
g h i j

Instead of doing

j = c ^ f
j_carry = c & f
i = j_carry ^ (b ^ e)

in two steps, we can condense it to

j = c ^ f
i = (c & f) ^ (b ^ e)

And similarly, we can get g and h combinationally from the input:

# "j_carry AND one of b, e"
i_carry = (b & e) | ( (c & f) & (b | e) )

h = i_carry ^ (a ^ d)
h = ( (b & e) | ((c & f) & (b | e)) ) ^ (a ^ d)

g = (a & d) | (i_carry & (a | d))
g = (a & d) | ((b & e) | ( (c & f) & (b | e)) & (a | d))

So we end up directly computing

g = (a & d) | ((b & e) | ( (c & f) & (b | e)) & (a | d))
h = ( (b & e) | ((c & f) & (b | e)) ) ^ (a ^ d)
i = (c & f) ^ (b ^ e)
j = c ^ f

All of these innermost combinations like (a & d) you can get just by AND / OR of the original inputs.

But as you suggest (I think), then you need to combine these further to actually get results. In theory they're all parallelizable (if you picture this as tree), but I don't see a good way to do that quickly. Though I'm no assembly expert so maybe I'm missing something.

I guess thinking in terms of gate delays doesn't really help much at this abstraction level.
Then that is a different circumstance. What's your point?

Even if one does have a single binary and config file that one can just copy to a server and run, there's more to non-trivial deployments than that. For example, how do you do a zero-downtime deployment where you copy over a new binary, start it up, switch new requests over to the new version, but let the old one keep running until either it finishes handling all requests that it already received or a timeout is reached? One reason why Kubernetes is popular is that it provides a standard, cross-vendor solution to this and other problems.
They are not comparable. You might use ansible, salt, puppet or chef to deploy kubelet, apiserver, etc. You could, barring those with self-love, even deploy Ansible tower on Kubernetes to manage your kubernetes infrastructure.
The first link is super interesting, thanks for sharing! We are at a weird point in the social research space where we can't run any double blinded studies, so end up with a lot of conflicting information.

Worth pointing out that the second link addresses year 0-1, which most proponents of the happiness set-point agree is changed. IIRC, the original research looked at satisfaction and happiness around the 2 year mark.

There is also the concept of the hedonistic treadmill, which may not be provably true, but has certainly been present in my own life (and a useful lens to examine my life through).

The last 29 days, I just checked, I am paying 19 CAD for 143kWh. https://forums.macrumors.com/attachments/screen-shot-2016-10... shows 4W but perhaps it's 4.6W because of the brick efficiency. Since this thing was running 24-7, that's 29*24=696 hours so we are looking at 3171 Wh or 3kWh. At the end, (4/.878 x 696/1000)/143

Perhaps you or someone else knows, but I frequent the https://tar1090.adsbexchange.com website often and I see unusual tail numbers listed and I can't figure out why they are listed as such. They may not even be military aircraft but just small aircraft.

The tail number in this example below is _AE0B60 and registration is n/a

Does anyone what this is, or why they don't have 'normal' registration info on adsb?
> E.g. an hour before a hurricane strikes, the price of water bottles and gas won't motivate new producers to enter a market,

Yes, it will. It will motivate suppliers to find existing supplies of water and transport them to the affected area. If prices remain the same, then there's no incentive for additional sellers to do this. If prices float upwards, then a ton of sellers will enter the market and attempt to sell the products.
At least you know about them. The worst are those vendors who require a serious consulation payment (5 figure+ contracts) just for them to show you the security advisory and then at the end they say "there is no patch yet"

> Unlikely, as he has no need for it.

Are you sure? PPE might be a bad example, but back in March rumours have been circulating in my home country about ultra-wealthy "private persons" buying ventilator equipment to be put in their homes.

I don't know if those rumors were true, but they very well might have been - those ultra-wealthy used to fly to EU for treatments, but when the borders closed and they were faced with the reality of the medical care system they've built for "commoners"... "Better to buy a ventilator, just for me and for my family. Just in case, you know."
I think it’s entirely possible that he remembered a catchy rhyme. I don’t think that supports the theory that he is deliberately referencing Walter Headley. Lots of people repeat catchy sayings without even knowing and endorsing who originally said them or even what those sayings originally meant.
> People are choosing to give him plausible deniability because he's white.

People are choosing to grant him deniability even when it is rather implausible because (insofar as race is relevant, there's other things that work similar for some that aren't race-related) they are white racists and his deniability on that point is also their deniability when he is speaking to their interests.
Yes, manufacturing does take time to ramp up, but higher prices mean that people use that good more efficiently, try to find substitutes, and try to import more from elsewhere. Also if there was a norm of not having price limits during emergencies, companies (and scrappy entrepreneurs) would have an incentive to stockpile goods in times of plenty so they could sell them at a large markup in a crisis.
So the goalpost has been moved from ultra wealthy to anyone with a $2k limit credit card. There is actually an easy way to make it hard for anyone with a $2k credit card to buy up all the supplies: just allow supermarkets to raise the prices.
>But the first time you see airplane software malfunction, that means you need to change the way the software is written and released so that the whole class of issues will not ever happen again.

This is pretty good intuition but often a systemic change is not economically feasible. For avionics software at least, a rewrite of the software would likely have to be recertified from scratch before it would be allowed to fly.

We do, however, have several different quality assurance programs in Aerospace that are supposed to address this sort of thing.

Once you identify the root cause, the process found to be deficient is supposed to have a Process Owner who is required to create a preventive and corrective action plan to prevent a recurrence, with more severe problems requiring more robust action plans. Done right, the process owner is supposed to be empowered to make the changes that need to be made.

These systems tend to be evolutions of ISO 9000 as pioneered by Toyota (IIRC). They are highly bureaucratic and soul-sucking, but they are also the least-shitty solution that's been tried.
> that's a high crime area

Brazil's homicide rate is like 7x the United States, I find it hard to believe that the occasional opening of a door and looking through your car would be high crime by Brazilian standards where people will literally get stopped by armed gangs and kidnapped out of their car.

There were no murders where I lived, no muggings, no particularly violent crime of any kind - just some people would drive up to the rich neighborhoods at like 2:30 am and go through some cars.
This is the year 2020.

That's also true, but does that sentence sound like the truth? Is truth and/or accuracy the most important trait of the sentence, or even a significant trait?
I'm not intimately familiar with those, but I did a lot of similar things with scripts.

As far as I can tell: those are imperative. At least in some areas.

Kubernetes is declarative. You mention the end state and it just "figures it out". Mind you, with issues sometimes.

All abstractions leak. Note that k8s's adamance about declarative configuration can make you bend over backwards. Example: running a migration script post deploys. Or waiting for other services to start before starting your own. Etc.

I think in many ways, those compete with Terraform which is "declarative"-ish. There's very much a state file.

Exactly, if there are no price gouging laws, the increase in prices will “trickle up” to the manufacturers, who will then increase production, thereby lowering prices. With price gouging laws, an increase in demand is not allowed to increase prices, so there’s no incentive to increase supply, and the result is shortages.
