TypeScript strengthens the JavaScript ecosystem by making it easier to write correct code, and easier to use code correctly. I suspect the author's self-professed lack of knowledge of TypeScript is the biggest barrier, but that's not why I decided to write this comment.

I wonder how many times the author has used node-gyp, node-sass, or even a wasm-pack packaged NPM package? The latter allows writing NPM packages in any language that compiles to web assembly. That's quite a few languages already, most of which are much further removed from JavaScript.

Despite that, I think that strengthens the NPM ecosystem, even if it "weakens" the JavaScript ecosystem. (I don't think it does, actually.) It means NPM is one the first and largest polyglot package repository. It's certainly the largest public source code and library repository in the world, and now or very soon, it will be possible to reap the benefits of packages using webassembly to get (nearly) bare metal performance without compromising security.

I would also argue this strengthens the JavaScript ecosystem too because all of these languages work transparently with JavaScript. The first-class citizen remains JS, for now, and people writing C/C++, Rust, Scala, ML, and others to webassembly are making their code available with JS bindings that just work. That's pretty amazing.

The closest thing to this is Python, and it's so nontrivial to contribute native or FFI code that works reliably to pip that it's not done outside of a handful of extremely performance sensitive data science projects. For this reason, I think JS (and webassembly) is ascendant, and Python's star is at its peak.

> embedded, immutable, syncable relational database.

TileDB Embedded (https://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB) checks all four of these boxes. It is a universal storage engine based on dense and sparse multi-dimensional arrays. I explain each point below.

> embedded

TileDB Embedded [1] is an open source (MIT licensed) embeddable C++ library which exposes C and C++ APIs. We also built APIs for Python, R, C++, Java and Go, and integrations into MariaDB, PrestoDB, Spark, GDAL, PDAL and more. Via MariaDB we even have embeddable SQL[2]. TileDB abstracts the storage backends behind an extendible VFS class, and currently supports S3, GCS, Azure, HDFS, and local disk.

> immutable

TileDB is designed around immutable objects. Every write creates a new "fragment" using a MVCC model[3]. No file is ever updated in place. TileDB is designed to naturally handle the eventual consistency and restraints of cloud object stores. This allows for features like multi-reader/multi-writer support, time traveling, and update support all within the storage engine without any external orchestration.

> syncable

TileDB's MVCC approach to handling the eventual consistency of cloud object stores, yields directly into its sync-ability. Every write operation in TileDB creates a new "fragment" [3]. A fragment is an immutable folder (or prefix on object stores) that contains all the data from a single write session. Fragments are created with a timestamp and a UUID to ensure uniqueness. The fragment is ignored until a special `.ok` file is available in listing (each write is atomic). Incomplete fragments (without the .ok file) are gracefully ignored.

This means that every fragment is self-contained and syncable. The only requirement is that the special `.ok` file must show up only after the complete fragment folder is synced. With cloud object stores this is not a problem with the read-after-write consistency guarantees. For other systems the synchronization can be managed to handle this behavior.

> relational database

Tables can be easily modeled as multi-dimensional sparse arrays[4]. Through TileDB's integrations with MariaDB and PrestoDB (and Spark), you gain a full SQL interface, while being able to query the data directly via the language APIs without using SQL. For more robust features, such as foreign key enforcement, it is easy to use embeddable MariaDB to achieve this, while we work to push such features into the storage engine itself. We are always seeking feedback on which features are most used and requested to pushdown common operations to the storage engine.

I'm advocating for logic classes and philosophy of argument classes at the primary and secondary education level. Even with this training, it wouldn't guarantee everyone would be more logical, but I would hope that more children are exposed to the formal teaching of logical arguments, fallacies, and potential self-scrutiny of their own arguments or objective (non-emotional) evaluation of others' arguments. I didn't recieve any formal logic education until college, but in was very interested in the subject. I think by exposing people to this subject, we could at least have some sort of positive impact on maybe 20% of the population - say the ability to identify strawman arguments or red herrings that I see quite often in the clickbait headlines of articles.

Yes, education in general, such as the PhDs you mention, would not necessarily be helpful in this. The current education system tries to teach logic and argument implicitly through assignments dealing with other subjects. Unfortunately, I think this can lead to the inclusion of biases such as teachers being bias towards answers that agree with their own. For example, in third grade I said a bath is more water efficient than a shower because you could reuse the water in the tub for other purposes and you don't need to fill it as high as most people do. My answer was marked wrong because they were basing the answers off the stereotypical ideas of baths and showers.

Interference with railroad property, primarily oriented towards theft and even hijacking trains, was a very serious problem for much of railroad history. Ongoing issues with everything from train robberies to theft of the actual rails is what lead to major railroads forming some of the first nationwide law enforcement organizations. The FBI, for example, was directly modeled on the Union Pacific Railroad Police.

While train robberies are now decidedly rare, railroad police still exist today to patrol and protect the right-of-way, particularly in cities where theft, vandalism, and interference remains a real safety hazard. While less glamorous than train robbery, a common problem today is the theft of metal from signals, which disables the signals and creates a possible safety hazard.
That is a jerk thing for the Tesla owners to do, but that's also something that I think it a bit silly for the other EV owners to have not expected: you should at least be able to round-trip from your home to your work. What if there's a power outage? what if traffic is worse than you expect and you're stuck on the road for longer? what if people in your garage are being a jerk and aren't sharing the plugs?

Granted, it's significantly more inefficient for everyone to have this reserve capacity and not use it all the time, and people should be conscientious enough to share the limited infrastructure.

Is there a way this could have been brought up to manglement or something similar? Or a friendly suggestion to the group? ("Hey, if you don't absolutely need to charge, please leave your phone number in the window, so others who need the charger can call & safely unplug your car" etc etc)
You could also stop this degree inflation by requiring a $15 minimum wage on all jobs but a $25 minimum wage when the job lists a bachelor's degree requirement (applied based on whether the job requires a degree, not whether the employee has a degree).

I feel like this used to be more true in the past. These days CPUs can exceed their official TDP by quite a large margin, and while in theory they should only do so temporarily, many motherboards default to unlimited boost clocks. (Then again, perhaps you're never going to fully utilize both CPU and GPU at the same time...)
I only see that happening if TC39 pulls a PEP 3107 [1] approach and adds type annotations as optional part of the JS language directly that browsers don't need to understand and can ignore but should parse. The Typescript format of type annotations is much more convenient than the JSDoc style (and think Typescript surpassing Flow is in part because of that; among several other reasons), so there likely will always be people wanting it. At that point a PEP 3107 approach would both mean a lot less need for Typescript and also a lot more use of Typescript-like type annotations.

Deno's odd choices made on V8 performance issues (failures) also does not look to implicate a trend so much as Deno making some interesting choices. (There too a PEP 3107 approach would have helped them as the performance issue they were trying to fix was type stripping as V8 itself doesn't today have any reason to performantly type strip TS-like annotations, but of course that would change tomorrow if TC39 made that a first class citizen of the JS parser directly.)

As both a mathematician and a programmer who often works on projects where high reliability is essential, I want to like the concept behind this book. However, based on the website and sample chapters, it’s not clear that there will be strong arguments made here about either scalability or performance, which are the usual practical problems with trying to employ formal methods and very “mathematical” abstractions. Sadly, the early repetition of the usual faux quicksort example and the casual dismissal of arguments by “purists” about the difference is going crush the author’s credibility among a large group of programmers by the end of page 7, which is not a good omen.
What I'm suggesting is that the state enforce a balance between jobs and housing. Tell Mountain View "if you want to allow another 500 seats for Google, you need to zone 350 more housing units (or whatever), or convince Cupertino to add them"
Which of those images look real to you? To me, pretty much all of them look strictly like rendered images or have some aspect of them which gives away the fact that they are rendered.

The biggest thing to me is that video games do not have very many independent objects, compared to reality. Go outside and look at the real world and you will see the ground has little pebbles and bits of mud and all this stuff that gets kicked around. No video game will let you inspect the leaves of plants to look for little bugs, the way reality will. Or for indoor scenes, there is no video game that accurately captures the experience of "picking up a living room with a bunch of toys strewn about".
For quite a long time (and probably still today but I have no idea) there was at least as much monitoring and security infrastructure built around watching and auditing what Facebook employees did to data as there was around what third-parties might be trying to do to Facebook infra and corp networks.

That is correct. Nowadays a 75W TDP Intel CPU can use as much as 200W for short bursts. That wasn't the case in the past. However, it should still be possible to find out that maximum draw value for many motherboards and pick a PSU accordingly.

> We didn't have the platforms taking action on the conspiracies initially and the audience for them grew like crazy.

I beg to differ. There has been a decade since Facebook has ever not taken action on some content.

The mainstream platforms are not free and impartial communication channels. No single piece of content there gets popular without the platform explicit promotion, and nothing that the platform doesn't want people to see does ever get widespread.

The conspiracy theories spread like crazy because Facebook and Youtube actively promoted them.
.Net is a much simpler integration, all of the support is in the CLR because COM defines a limited ABI that can be called from any language that can walk a few pointers in a C++ vtable given an interface definition.

One can even completely ignore the RCW/CCW support in .Net entirely and just hack together some struct types that match the vtable layout.
Couldn't this just be because unions can have a deteriorating effect on meritocracy?

Say you have 10 workers - 2 are rock stars and make $50/hr, 6 are average and make $20/hr, and 2 are bad and make $10/hr (min wage - because they are never promoted).

Average "non-union" pay is: $24/hr

Now say you unionize and the union forces you to start paying the bad employees $20/hr like all the other average ones. So now you pay the 2 bad employees $20 each. Well, you still want to incentivize good work so you bump average employees to $25/hr. But dang, that's a lot of money, time to reign in rock star budget a bit. Now rock stars make $30/hr, average make $25/hr, bad make $20/hr.

Average "union" pay is: $25/hr

So yes, the "average pay" will be higher for "the worker"... but at a cost. Your average high performers will now be paid less, and your average low performers will now be paid more... which creates perhaps undesirable incentive structures ("why work my butt off to get ahead when it really won't make that much of a difference? I'd rather switch to a non-union company where my pay is directly tied to my output").
Amazon movies and music are junk. You can use twitch without prime. Photo storage is probably good but I dont trust them enough to spend the effort. I'm regularly surprised how many people pay the Amazon Prime tax. Its easy to live without.

> If a community forms to support Bottlerocket off of AWS, then that's one thing, but until then, it basically just seems like a better option for ECS or EKS.

I'm failing to see why that's a problem or a source of confusion. There's a clearly defined market of "who they built it for", and there's a community option to expand Bottlerocket's target market.

The code is open source, so anyone could fork Bottlerocket and modify it to suit their needs immediately. Will Bottlerocket see success beyond ECS and EKS? Only time will tell... literally no one knows yet.
Haha yeah Spironolactone is certainly a weird one.

Phaxio | Senior Full Stack Engineer & Full Stack Engineers | Full-Time | Remote

Phaxio's goal is to make it simple to build robust faxing capabilities into software. Our goal is to give you all of the tools so that you don't have to spend any brain/dev cycles thinking about to make fax work. It's not the sexiest problem but the fax industry continues to grow, significantly year over year.

You'll fit with our team if you love writing elegant, clean, and tested code. You love to dabble in all parts of the software development lifecycle, from IDE to production. You are willing to get your hands dirty using a variety of technologies, some of which you’ve never even heard of yet. If a problem sounds interesting, you’re the first to raise your hand to dig in and solve it, often because you’re already thinking of solutions before the conversation is over. You may have built a product or written code professionally that isn’t “just some website”. You are always looking to help a colleague, but have no problem asking for help when you feel like you’ve hit a roadblock. You are a stickler about the details but are a master at navigating the constant balancing act between perfection and “ready to deploy”.

We're a close-knit team that really appreciates each others company (even though we're mostly remote) and insights. We're mainly looking for someone that feel really comfortable with Rails although we do use a smattering of other technologies as well.
