Your argument assumes that bringing in a giant JS framework has zero negative effects, but this should never be taken for granted:

- The framework may well be buggy for a small percentage of users who happen to this time not include someone vocal. Result: you've lost users and you won't know it.

- The framework might be the straw that breaks the camel's back in terms of load times or cost. For some reason it seems to be rare to test for slow devices on slow, unreliable, metered connections, even though it's pretty much a given that the UX designers' devices and connections will be in the top 1% in all of these. Result: you've lost users and you won't know it.
Well I suppose it depends on what one assume to be a reliable source.

It is indeed astonishing to find so many claims by doctors that they can heal people from dreadful diseases with simple life style tips and natural products. I think specifically of extraordinary claims that are contrary to the medical consensus: heal people of metastatic cancer, reverse diabetes, reverse ALS, etc..

Personally I do not trust such doctors, there are too many of those who had later died from cancer themselves!

But ultimately it is a personal choice to find which criterias could be used to evaluate risks.

I think it goes without saying that your personal connection with the recruiter encouraged him to work extra hard to get hired. Some recruiters are really good - though I haven't used them myself, I know a number of folks who used them to their advantage. Of course, it's all about how much the recruiter likes you too - if they are indifferent to you, they will not put in that extra mile.

I don't think recruiters ended up recruiters due to familial circumstances though - many of them I know worked in the same fields they help recruit to, and largely pulled out due to burnout or some other unintentional consequences.

Also it is to be noted that recruiters are usually the only way forward once you reach a level of seniority - you won't be able to cold-email after a while.

I think it happens to the dumb and the smart ones, maybe not at Chicago and some of the big US unis, but my economics instruction included a large amount of statistics that were never even explained, sometimes it was just memorize this formula - I could not develop an intuitive understanding of anything being dropped on these islands. Being decent at maths I expected to be able to follow along, but couldn't. I brought a much more capable friend to class and he confirmed that while there was real maths underneath it wasn't being presented and bits were missing from what they were showing us. It goes on, they are forever talking about IS LM curves "shifting", it doesn't shift, but the point at which it is rotating is not on your chart.

There are so many options but it genuinely depends on how your content is being generated. If you have everything in a giant CSV or JSON file then there's not much work to do at all. Many shops I worked with were used to WordPress and after WP released the API functionality it became possible to completely decouple the editing & publish function from the front end display. You can still use a securely locked-down WP install for content creation and editing, then just use the (also locked-down) WP API endpoint as your data source that gets fed into your site generator. Hugo has an awesome feature where if you feed it a URL it will go fetch your content for you, so it doesn't even need to exist in the /content dir prior to build. Thanks to the free tiers for Gitlab CI/CD or Github Actions, your repo only contains theme code and with a 10-line CI/CD config file and a container image that has Hugo installed, you just need a trigger to run the build pipeline - then you're left with the static site that you can publish anywhere you like.

If you don't need the user roles and editor experience you get from WP then you can feed your generator the content from any source you like as long as the files have the correct frontmatter to turn them into pages/posts. You might need a little glue script here and there to chain systems together, but it's not super difficult to adapt to whatever pipeline you need after you understand where your content comes from.

Is there anything stopping an organisation from defining some standard types of serverless environments?

Is there anything stopping someone from turning that standard into implementations to help cloud providers offer it, or even be a fallback option that could be deployed on any generic cloud infrastructure?

I think those are the way forward from here.
Well, yesterday I edited a Makefile under TMUX by using ed,
so typing speed isn't an issue there, ed commands save
much more time than typing fast.
Ditto in the computer. As my environment is tmux+framebuffer based, I don't care on breaking typing speed records in gtypist, I type in normal speeds, as everything else is scripted I don't care of not being fast enough.
I can imagine that bespoke is not a great fit for prefab. My impression of prefab construction is that it's mostly used when lots of identical buildings need to be built. Then you can afford to have everything tested in advance to make sure it all fits together. If you're building something unique, don't you basically miss out on all of the advantages of prefab, while keeping its disadvantages?

Yes, going with AWS is a short. You're shorting your own popularity. If your popularity explodes upward, there is no cap on your losses to AWS. The theory is that you are also hedged by your business so the limitless losses to AWS are more than compensated for by even larger gains in your business. But if you're caught with an unhedged short....yikes.
Isn't that expected (within a constant factor of optimal depth, a.k.a. O(log N) tree height)? They're essentially building a treap, minus the in-order traversal of keys restriction.

That standard could be something like CloudABI [1] which already exists, but is too limited (no networking) to replace generic serverless workloads.

You are talking about something along the lines of fully homomorphic encryption there.

There's no CI/CD provider that can give you that. There's barely anyone on Earth that can run you a Hello World with FHE, let alone offering it as a service to build binaries.
The problems with this theory (and with asteroid mining in general) is that it is extremely unlikely that anything you mine in space will be economical to get back down. Most people forget that it costs almost as much delta-V to get down as it does to get up in the first place -- if something was not worth the cost to launch it into space it is unlikely to be worth landing.

The problem with asteroid mining is that it faces one of the most expensive chicken-egg problems it is possible to imagine. Without industry in space there is no need for the bulk gathering of raw materials, but without the bulk raw materials it is not worth developing industrial processes for space and a zero-g environment.

It would be nice to see a breakdown of each of the dimensions on the model. I personally find those more insightful than just the archetype and – in my case – explain the low accuracy by showing on which dimensions I rate near the middle of the scale.
> Maintaining your own server is completely nuts. If that isn’t obvious now, it will be in another decade. It’s massively inefficient. Like running your own power plant to serve your factory, except you also have to worry about security and constant maintenance, along with all the moving parts that surround a server.

Except that it is not. The security and constant maintenance is needed but it is worth in many cases. And large companies can not really off load all ownership of data and applications. The interest in servers actually went in reverse direction due to the cloud effect.

I would say having own server or application hosting capacity is very similar to why you produce your own solar power and store it in batteries - it is simple? No. But the technology is improving and thus it makes it easier for people to adopt this paradigm.

When I see what is happening with WebAssembly/WASI in particular, I see a great future for self-hosting again. Software written in any programming language (as long as it targets WASM) is a lot easier to host than existing models. Also there is interoperability of software coming from different languages at the WebAssemply level as I understand.
My message to the western world – your civilization is killing life
Exactly, your software is still running on servers but you no longer worry about managing those.

The problem with PAAS and serverless until recently is that they still required a lot of devops activity. Most of that is pure drudgery: setting up networking, dealing with vendor specific weird shit (e.g. amazon's IAM makes everything harder than necessary), micromanaging instance types and trading off overpriced vcpus vs small chunks of memory, etc. Lots of things that you can do wrong, lots of subtlety, lots of poorly documented gotchas, lots of potential bugs, etc. And all of that is needed so you can say "go run this over there" where this is your packaged up docker application and there is months of work by some poor devops person to turn a large amount of poorly integrated tools into a vaguely coherent deployment experience. It's never simple. It's never cheap

I had a decent experience with Cloud Run recently. I was not in a mood or position to reserve 3 months out of my schedule to terraform myself a new server environment (which I actually know how to do). I already had the software and I wanted it running ASAP. So, I felt slightly dirty when I did this but got the job done in a few mouse clicks in their UI. This was shockingly easy after basically spending months piecing together arcane crap in AWS in my previous project.

This got me a cloud run deployment, a build pipeline against my github repository for continuous deployment, and a running service. I tuned the build file afterwards to do more than just docker build & deploy but that was relatively easy (similar to how most CI systems work these days).

They charge for cpu/memory used by requests. The whole thing has been running for a few months now. Less than 4 hours of work to figure it all out from me knowing absolutely nothing about Cloud Run to me having a service up and running. I reconfigured the deployment via the UI a couple of times to fiddle with memory and CPU settings.

I suppose I could sit down and terraform this at some point but I don't feel the need to do that right now. I have more interesting things to do. And technically me spending a day to do that would cost more than running the whole thing has cost so far. That's the point: the cost of devops is out of wack with the running cost for a lot of this stuff.

I have seen people imagine what those ores are worth when they pretend that they are somehow magically transported to the surface of the earth, but I have never seen these same people budget the cost of the energy to retrieve, return, and land those same resources. If your value calculation did not go negative there then you are doing it wrong.
It may not have been the customisation, more the processes of pre-fab in general and what the production process is. I didn't build my house but it's a recent pre-fab build, straight from the catalogue (a Swedish company). The amount of shoddy workmanship and shortcuts taken is surprising and I'm slowly correcting replacing a lot of the door & window surrounds, some floor supports, broken wiring, badly aligned panels, etc...

The overwhelming downside of not needing professional builders to build a house is not having professional builders build a house. Half-assed amateurs aren't going to give you the quality you expect for your home.
I think a simplified explanation is that, assuming your hash function is ideal (can be assumed to be random, except for being deterministic), you end up building a treap, minus the treap's restriction on the in-order traversal of keys and restriction on the number of children. The height of a treap is O(log N), so your solution is expected to be within a constant factor of an optimal solution.

I saw two threads about Myer-Briggs Type Indicators on HN today, and thought this might be relevant: it's a personality type test for software developers.

Who knows how accurate it is. My gut feeling is that you would see strong tendencies if you compared, say, the Go and Java communities.
I think it very much depends on how hard your problem is. Small problems / search spaces will be fine in Prolog, but most realistic sized problems will quickly exhaust brute force search, and you will need to consider Local Search (like OptaPlanner), or Mixed Integer Programming, specialised Constraint Programming etc. There is a whole field of study on this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_optimization
This book is a gem, concepts are greatly explained and is full of references to papers and other articles. I've heard people clearing systems design interviews just by using this book as reference. I'm not sure if it's an exaggeration but from what I can see it does a great job convering the fundamentals of scalable systems.
No, this stuff is irrelevant. There isn't a natural progression.

Pittman shorthand, for instance, was a pretty useful system that only enthusiasts use these days. The most trivial change that axed this was purely social: men learned how to type.

Similarly, business is being done in different ways that will make other old useful tools less applicable.

The march to the grave starts at the crib, sorry about that.

I have started quickly stirring through my oats (of the precooked flat variety) with a beater once they have been in the water for a minute or two. That makes it thicker and with an, IMO, nicer texture. If I boil it too hot, it doesn't really settle, and if that happens I just add a bit more water and boil it off.

I add peanut butter as well and eat it with grated apple on top.

I think this is highly misleading. They state that they achieved high speed-ups from not doing any coordination because they encode each state as a "private field" in an actor. Actors then communicate via queues (assume ZeroMQ from their reference), which require coordination to scale at some point - so do the actors that contain the actual data.

I do see some market for (eventual/in)-consistent databases though, so maybe that's something we are going to see much more often in the future.
I guess it depends on what your goal is. If it's just to bring back high-value metals to Earth, then that's probably the least complicated because the mass you have to move is low. I don't know the logistics of, say, gold mining in space, but you might not even bother with any on-site processing. Just grab a rock with a big gold vein and haul it back. That presupposes you know how to find such a rock.

If your goal is to setup manufacturing in space, then that's far more complicated. You'd be working with massive amounts of low-value metals and refining them into aluminum, or steel, or whatever it is you need the most of right now, and then turning the metal into usable parts for habitats or ships or mining equipment. (Whatever is too bulky to be cost effective to ship from Earth.) Again, I don't know enough about metal refining processes to make much of a guess what the logistics would entail, but I can predict it'll need a lot of intermediate products and chemicals which might or might not be available on-site, and it would consume an enormous amount of energy. That could be from solar (though the asteroid belt is quite a bit farther from the sun than we're at) or nuclear.

Nuclear generally doesn't work well in space because there's not usually any good way to get rid of excess heat, but conducting the heat to a large asteroid could work pretty well. So then you'd just have the usual barrier that putting a reactor is space will require a launch from Earth, and that makes everyone rightly nervous.
Money. It’s money.
You can implement monads yourself if you have higher-kinded types, but Rust doesn't. Without them you can't implement any of the standard helper functions that you need generically (e.g. monadic versions of control flow functions like ifM, whileM), you'd have to implement them by hand for each different monadic type instead. Thus the control flow problems in the #[dehandle]-based code.

And if you look at what #[dehandle] is doing, it's blatantly an ad-hoc implementation of do notation for these handle types. It's doing the same thing as async/await, or try!, but in (present-day) Rust everyone implementing a new "context-like" type has to write their own "very complicated procedural macro" to implement a specific variant for that context-like type.

(I don't think you necessarily need do notation to write maintainable monadic code - I'm a big fan of railway-oriented programming style i.e. (Kleisli) arrow composition. But of course you can't do that in Rust either, except by writing ad-hoc implementations of all the operators and helper functions for every different type you want to work with).

I find the question really odd. It is like asking why people create new recipes or new music or whatever else - because they can. These are some of the best ways to introspect and think about patterns one might have been struck by and put forward a way to deal with them in their own ways.

People should always try new ways to deal with problems they see around them. Or generally be creative. I can not fathom what makes the author even ask this question.
