Your life choices decide if you need a car or not, you can live perfectly fine in rural Europe without a car. Sure I only had 10 km to nearest busstop, 15 km to nearest store and 60 km to nearest highspeed trainstation. So not really that rural, but you do not need a car even if those distances are longer.

Most people do have a car so the pressure is high to get one, it is also cheapin rural areas of Sweden. Parking is free, always available, most of the infrastructure is slowly being erroded by car centric design. So yes soon you will be required to have a car in some rural areas to be able to travel anywhare ot get food.
> There's a pleasure to solving problems that arise from type systems akin to solving Sodoku puzzles.

IMO, That's not type system but OOP. Where I have problems with types is usually due to class hierarchies, and developers trying to invent "beautiful" taxonomies and abstractions for the sake of abstractions.

I guess generics sometimes come as a cludge too, particularly if they are combined with the above OOP issues.

In a typical bussiness/app code if you don't use inheritance or keep it to minimum, and use generics where they belong, static typing is rather mindless. "This needs something that implements interface ServiceA, and a string" and then a bit of familiarity with handling collections and "Options".

From my experience, it's only sudoku puzzles if you (code author) make it so. Not very unlike the opposite version when people go very wild with abilities of lack/dynamic typing.
Both classic static and dynamic typing are trending over time to being replaced with the option of static typing with gaps; languages with static typing are more frequently implementing dynamic escape hatches and languages with dynamic typing are getting optional static type checking tools, and both static-first languages and optional typecheckers for dynamic-first languages often have fairly robust type inference, so the firm bright lines that used to exist between static and dynamic languages of the experience of using them is quite a bit blurred.

This is by far the most important thing I can think of, followed shortly by being able to maintain a regular, high-quality exercise regimen.

Meal prep is the key to keeping the discipline in terms of cooking cheap, high-quality meals for yourself. If you understand some fundamentals about how to store food and scaling recipes up, you can leverage your time very well. In a given week, I spend ~2 hours in the kitchen total. Of this, about 1 hour is spent per week doing meal prep. The other hour is time spent re-heating or preparing the final meal for consumption across each day.

The most powerful way to engage this is using simple, predicable, efficient tools & processes. I use very few tools in my kitchen. Iron skillet, 2.5qt iron pot for frying, and an instant pot for pressure cooking. That's about it. I prepare stuff in ~1 week batches, usually on weekends.

I spend ~$150/m on groceries, and maybe $100/year on food that I don't make for myself. Every meal I eat is arguably of very high quality compared to available alternative vendors. Watching others order door dash every single day as their sole source of sustenance has me somewhat disappointed in society. The amount of money most people spend on food is incredible to me, especially considering the quality in most cases.

The first consideration should be backups. This can be pretty easy if your database is small and you're okay with losing a few hours or a day of data if something happens. Then it's simply a matter of having a cron job dumping the database and backing those dumps up via some common backup tool. A proper backup with point-in-time recovery is not that hard to set up, but it does take some time to read up on the topic and configure it. It's certainly a bit of work compared to a managed version, but not that much.

High availibility is a bit more complicated to set up with Postgres, and I don't have much experience with that part. Plain replication isn't too difficult as far as I understand, but automated failover is not in the core tools, so you would use an external tool that does this as far as I understand.

My experience with Postgres in general is that it doesn't really need any attention if you're at a reasonably low level of traffic. And reasonably low doesn't mean toy database, if you're not doing anything horribly inefficient. If you have a high write volume you might have to pay attention to vacuum settings and tweak them.

If you have a high income, might just make sense to pay for a managed version for a side project if you aren't specifically interested in learning more about managing Postgres. If you're e.g. a student I think you can get pretty far with managing your own Postgres on a small VM.

The Postgres documentation is very good, I'd certainly read the parts about backups and replication there.

Just because you can recognize something as a unit doesn’t mean that it isn’t continuous fundamentally.

If you look at your hand you may count your fingers but they’re still part of your body as a whole. Any “border” is an arbitrary limit that is fully in the domain of human imagination. Our senses of the world allow us to conceptualize arbitrary borders and units of a continuum.

Base reality is continuous, absolutely nothing exists without the whole. That is to say, only the whole exists. Anything in the finite will never be adequate to describe true reality.

Physics actually does understand this quite a bit. Much of theoretical physics is divorced from reality to the point where quantum physics itself is nowhere near describing reality. It may help describe certain properties based on our observations but many postulations are dependent on phenomena that are entirely non physical.

There are factions within physics and the “atomic mathematical model centric” faction has the popular voice. There exists within physics those who do not see the universe as atomic. You don’t hear much about them today because information is gated.

I used to have terrible dandruff. Purely anecdotal, but I stopped using shampoo in my hair, and the problem mostly went away. I still wash it throughly, using only water, scrubbing hard with a towel when I dry off. My hair is noticeably less oily after washing, but it's no longer frizzy and stays in place better when I comb it. I have short hair.
Be careful to not conflate consciousness with intelligence. The question of whether other animals or people are consciousness is a minor question, after you've answered the hard questions of what is intelligent and th nearly impossible question of what is consciousness.

No one can explain their own consciousness, so explaining someone else's consciousness isn't even ready to be discussd.
> There is very little incentive to make their users happy when their users are not paying for the service

This is plainly obviously wrong.

When users are not happy, they leave the service, and advertizers stop paying.

Even more, companies are much more afraid to lose users than to lose advertizers. Companies can live years without advertizers (by borrowing money for example or by burning reserves), but if a company lost it's users, the company is finished.
I think you're conflating "statically typed languages" with "object oriented languages" (they do go together a lot).

Static typing with functional programming languages works really well because the types are so simple. If you look at OCaml, or Haskell, or F# you simple types, but with a lot of benefit of type checking.

Are you talking about scheme? It didn't take off for the same reason all other functional languages didn't take off. Why functional languages aren't as popular, who knows.

Not true. Comments/documentation are meant to document code. Types and type systems exist to constrain the program space to produce sound programs. Type systems limit the number of valid programs. Types and type systems do not exist to document code.

I'm mainly a C# dev, but I'm also watching Gleam with a keen interest. I spent a little time with Elixir a couple of years back and really liked it, but I just couldn't get over the lack of static typing - I don't mind for small things, but I absolutely want static types for larger programs. Gleam looks a little like Elixir, but with static types, which sounds great to me.

I think the biggest 'proof' there is that the twitter account states they haven't received any 2FA requests. Assuming we're taking this as truth then:

1.) Somehow MFA got disabled on the account (or avoided altogether)

2.) Could've got SIM swapped. However this seems rather unlikely, as there are no other reported IoCs which point toward SIM swapping (i.e. can't call or text).

> "I wouldn’t trust the word of a hacker/recipient of a hacked account."

I wouldn't discount it. This isn't some APT that ran a Stuxnet operation. It's someone who allegedly exploited a system to get an og account. The whole reason people want og accounts is because they're a status symbol in some circles.

It's quite likely that someone associated with stealing an og is an immature braggart. So they may do things immature braggarts would do... like talk about their TTP.

The real difference is not AWD/4WD, it's tire quality. Any car will do great on snow and ice with good winter tires, the key to all winter driving is to be smooth on all inputs you give the car.

Remember that your AWD car may put power to the ground through all four tires, but it has the same braking capabilities as any other car. Please don't over-speed your braking distance.
I get what you're saying but my point still applies.

Did we discover the decimal form of representation out of all possible forms of representing fractional quantities or did we create that form?

Was the english language discovered out of the set of all possible languages or was it created?

It's good to examine the intuitive differences though. Why does the choice of representation feel more "creative" than say the "choice" of what axioms to use in a certain field in mathematics?

Many times you will discover that the intuition is just a biased flaw in the way we think, but many times you will discover that your intuition is demarcating an actual difference.

I think our intuition is marking an actual difference here. The set of all symbols representing the number 3 is infinite not bounded by any rules. The set of all sets of axioms we can use to formulate a mathematical theory is infinite but it is actually a subset. We only choose axioms in math that are internally consistent. The number Inconsistent sets of axioms are a huge and many are discarded to find a consistent set.

It is possibly this blurry demarcation of restriction and size of the domain that marks our intuitive feelings of what we label as "created" or "discovered." Who knows, I suspect the rules are much more complicated and if we dive in deeper you will find that our intuition is flawed.

For example why does it feel extremely wrong to say that the Americas were created rather than discovered?

But again, realize that we are discussing the intricacies of arbitrary words defined in language. Outside of the domain of language the concept is uninteresting.
I was specifically responding to "calling a 4 parameter function with 3 parameters". In the case you have a 3 parameter function, and pass in the wrong type, static typing -may- help you...but most languages that allow that that are statically typed allow for function overloading (since functions are then defined not by name and # of args, but name and types of args). If you overload the 3 param variant, static typing can't help ensure you pick the right one, just one that exists. That was my point; you still have to write proper tests, and that not only has the benefit of ensuring you're calling the right function, but that it also does what you want.

Re: testing - regardless of whether you have static typing or not, you should be exhaustively testing every pattern you match on, to ensure you're doing the right thing. If you don't, you don't care about the behavior in those cases - in most languages that's a problem, in Erlang it's a "if that happens, supervisor restarts", and you focus your effort on ensuring restarts put you back into a good state (which you do anyway, ergo, no additional work unless you choose to invest it).

Erlang is a little unique in this regard; it's not that it doesn't have error handling and that static typing might not be a benefit, it's that proper focus should be on the supervisor strategy and "what happens when things go wrong". Of course things that reduce how often things go wrong are helpful (for log consumability if nothing else), but they don't buy you that much if you're doing things correctly; the whole 'correctness' mechanism is separate and distinct from those concerns (whereas most other languages it is not).
You're not missing a thing. Bitcoin is sound in theory. In practice, though, humans are very flawed and they tend to submit to authority more than is healthy. In the case of Bitcoin in particular, the Core implementation has been declared the de facto reference client. Meaning, whatever they say goes. This has proven to be detrimental to Bitcoin as Blockstream, a private corporation is the employer of (or was cofounded by) the most influential Core contributors. Those who disagreed with the direction Blockstream wanted to steer the project to, were removed from their authority position. Now as a result, Bitcoin is unable to scale. Blockstream keeps delaying a simple upgrade that would do just that and at the same time, keeps pushing competing solutions like LN and Liquid. I think Bitcoin as an experiment in human behavior was very interesting. But as a revolutionary technology, not that successful...
This too was our experience. We had several clusters running on one of the managed services. The cost didn't justify what we could do with running it ourselves.

We're lucky to have experience with Postgres, performing backups (of the various types) and restoring DBs on production environments. We don't have things automated, but that would be next.

I think startups are hard to do it in-house, not for a lack of expertise (or willingness to get it), but the fact that there are already so many things to handle.
