YMMV, but consider that if you think a single solution is the right solution in all cases, you're most likely wrong.

This is sort of the meta-principle that I apply to all of software development: no principle or methodology (DRY, YAGNI, SOLID, TDD, etc...) applies 100% of the time (except for this principle. ;))

But that’s obviously not true, at least not all of the time. In 2008 there was plenty of information indicating that the market was not healthy, and a number of market actors spotted this early on and won big betting against what the market was doing. They neither had insider information nor was it luck; the market in 2008 was catastrophically wrong about what the price of mortgage backed CDOs should be.

I personally would have liked to see my code being used by someone else (even a company) instead of it being deleted.

Nonetheless, the blog author decided to use AGPL, i do respect that fully.

General speaking, i always try to contribute back but holy shit is that shitty. There are enough projects out there were people don't want to add features because they don't need it, they don't care or whatever. You hit so fast a point were it is much easier to fork it and keep the fork up to date than contributing back :|

One project did a great job, came up with the idea on how to make money from it (not successful) by removing the docker images and making the docker images private.

I get it but do you think he would be happy for a PR which adds proper documentation on how to build those docker images? Or a multi stage docker build which will take care of building it for you? -> no

Google dominates the browser market... Firefox is down to single digit marketshare. If Firefox is gone, it's pretty much just Safari on mobile... and who else? (Chrome forks don't count.)

As far as Firefox's hands being tied: they had a deal with Yahoo starting in 2015 for 5 years.. and they terminated it in 2017 when their contract gave them an opportunity. So that should say something about Firefox's choice in the matter.

That's not a very large area, to be fair. That's about the size of half of the United States, in distance/spread. Europe isn't a continent in the traditional sense, it's a region, and not a huge one.

I actually think the way Apple implemented this downright brilliant. As you say, it can't be done automatically, and it's definitely made to be a bit intimidating. At the same time, it's not difficult or onerous, that's a pretty hard balance to strike.

By contrast, when I try to install unsigned drivers in Windows, I feel as though Microsoft is fighting me, and I get annoyed basically every time. I've never had that feeling with SIP; when I get a new computer, I take off the training wheels I don't need, and move along.
I can really relate to this. I have had to have a cornea transplant and many other eye surgeries over the past year where I had to be awake during them. I know in a few years I will likely be going through the same thing and I’m having trouble coping with that.

Yes, I'm a biologist, and I also read all his old books when I was younger. I can see why you might think that he's only interested in politics based on media coverage, but it actually isn't true: I went to listen to him speak in Berkeley 3 years ago, and it was nearly all about the old stuff: gene-level selection, kin selection, etc. Two years later he was due to come again at the invitation of the same radio station, but his invitation was canceled, due to the influence of "progressives".

I certainly wouldn't say that about him! What makes you think so?

Could you tell me what you're referring to there? I agree he hates post-modernism.

Well, if your library can use the "lowest denominator" of supported databases, then there's nothing wrong with doing that. I'd still argue that you don't really support something you haven't tested against, but I guess this is pretty off topic. My overall point was more that sometimes being locked into a single database is a conscious decision because you want to make use of everything a database has to offer.

In the context of the article, for "Forcing Functions", I absolutely agree that switching databases is a useful way to find weakness in your solution.
My current use case is that I'm working on something which is basically things in groups (which may also be in groups) and seeing if things like "items in group A which are linked to group C via linkages to items in group B" are easier with SPARQL + graph database than they are with Postgres.

(Previous use case was converting music industry data into RDF and providing query interfaces on top. That 1.1GB TTL is a CWR file converted to RDF as a stress tester.)
As someone who’s actually used the language (sigh) the “hype” around Julia is more excitement about a modern language that’s hitting a broad sweet spot in a unique way.

Julia is a delightful combination of ease of use, clarity, and performance. It lets one concentrate much more on the problem at hand than language related boilerplate (I’m looking at you, Rust).

I’m hopeful that Julia will become one of the most used general purpose programming languages in the long run. It’s certainly got what it takes!
Internally at Google the vendor all source code and make it build using bazel.

As well as the features that bazel provides you. The caching, packaging, code gen, cross-language deps/interfacing, and other magic that make bazel extremely amazing to use.
Did they test before and after? Looks to me like they just tested after and then controlled for a few factors. The simple explanation would be that people with cognitive deficits are more likely to catch covid, either from being in worse health or from just doing more dumb shit.

I think the trick is to have achievable targets (I am beginner), simple strumming, chords progression. Just like PICO-8 advice above or "hello world". At least half of the time I play to enjoy myself, the songs that inspired me "BRUTTO - Вечірнє сонце" [1], "Green Day - Good Riddance", "Oasis - Wonderwall".

It is extremely important to tune guitar perfectly. I tune it before each session and found it usually got slightly out of tune if I don't enjoy playing anymore. It is surprisingly hard to sing while playing, it fills mind while hands gets practice.

It is easy to excel in first months because there is not much yet. Playing without looking at guitar, working on posture, accurate timing (not tempo!). Find something to enjoy, Brushy One String plays one string and it drives [1] .

This whole things just seems so silly to address. Instead of making it the default search engine simply have a search engine chooser at install. Google is "preferred" (which they still pay for) but below that is a list that is searchable of all other search engines to choose.

tele-phone... tele, greek for "far", phone, from the greek for "voice".

> Rust is not a good example of a language which doesn't require discipline: on the contrary, it requires very much discipline and thinking deeply about lifetimes and resources.

My experience is completely different. I programmed a bit in rust recently. Nothing system level. Quite opposite.

I had multiple occasions when after succeeding to implement some part in Rust I thought to myself "wow, if I tried to do that in C++ I would have fallen in so many pit traps by now, that rust helped me avoid by restricting me in some ways".

And I'm very new to rust and I was just coding blindly just by powering through different approaches till one of those compiled.

"I can't use borrow to keep that? What's a borrow anyways? Let's just cram it in Rc whatever it is. I can't return this? Fiiine! I'll create it outside and pass it in."

And in the end it worked perfectly. No weird bugs to find. I felt like a caveman trying to bang rock into shape. And at no point rock cracked, split and or buried me under the rubble.
No. Stocks, roughly speaking, represent entitlements to corporate profits in the form of dividends. Bitcoin doesn’t represent any kind of entitlement. The closest analogy is gold - Bitcoin is a scarce commodity with good currency properties. It’s similar to gold in that it’s fungible, dense, etc. Its worse than gold in that it’s not shiny and something you can feel. It’s better than gold in that it’s orders of magnitude cheaper to store and transport security, and it’s vastly easier to ensure authenticity.

I'm sorry but I don't agree with the author. APIs should be as unambiguous as possible. Creating a scenario where one user with a localization of en_UK tries to share a filter with a user with en_US and suddenly it doesn't work is not an acceptable outcome IMO.

The UI should absolutely be localized and clicking the "filter messages in the bin" button should add "in:trash" into the search bar.

my only problems with meson wrap today are its lack of packages, and the fact that it's source-only. Actually, I tried to use SDL_image and while the page for the package exists on wrapdb[0], it has no versions listed and so building with SDL_image fails. Source builds on windows for SDL2 fail because it presumes a UNIX-style build and fails looking for 'unistd.h'.

I've found the real 'one true solution' for my needs to be conan + meson. Conan includes a build script that supplies pkg-config files to Meson for dependency handling, and with conan you can use the gigantic repository of packages along with bincrafters for an even gigantic-er repository of packages. I have not yet found a package I needed that wasn't on either conan center or bincrafters. And on Linux I can download the source to build if I really want to, but on Windows I'm happy just downloading the binary .lib files.
And it's so easy to use. cd build && conan install .. && conan build .. is all you need to download and compile everything.

Before this setup I used vcpkg with cmake and I'm never going back to that. Yet before vcpkg I used ExternalContent, which I would also never go back to. Ergonomics are extremely important with this kind of thing. I think that's why cargo is a huge hit in this space.

Counterpoint: By migrating to microservices, you're moving the problem, not solving it. Sure, your individual services and tables are simpler, but when you need to combine the data, update it, etc you run into big issues that aren't trivial to solve.
The ErgoDox already allows arbitrary repositioning of the keys.

The Planck keyboard is cramped. It's worse than a cheap Microsoft ergonomic keyboard.
Yes, in that stock can fluctuate wildly in price, and can usually be exchanged for currency. No, in that stock represents ownership into a company, while cryptocurrency represents ... well ... nobody has been able to satisfactorily explain that one to me.
They're most similar to a commodity, like gold, or lumber. There's a supply, a demand, and price. Unlike stocks, there's no underlying asset, you just own the crypto currency and that IS the asset.
NXIVM's Keith Raniere on web technology (2008)
I haven't used it for anything particularly complex and I haven't used it with anything that has a ton of non-header-only third party libraries, so I don't know how it holds up in those cases, but for my smaller projects, its been really pleasant. The tupfiles are easy to write and the tool is super fast. It took me from dreading starting a new project with cmake to enjoying using C++ again.

I used to just use QtCreator and let it setup the build system. I could just go back to that, but for now I'm very happy with tup.
The #FunnyNotFunny angle has been not the suppression, but the effort to redefine terms, e.g. "court packing" in this context.
Impossible to generalize, would depend entirely on what specifically you want the stored procedures to do. Though I can’t think of a good reason to abstract your queries at the database level. Even ORMs typically allow execution of raw SQL, so you could still store a straight SQL query in your app code (perhaps in a constant) instead of using a stored procedure.
Huh. I generally enjoy Typescript, but have been frustrated by its inference at times, particularly with regard to generics -- there are places where it will do fine if you pass an arrow function directly, but if you pull it out into a const, the compiler will no longer be able to infer types (and thus fails to compile if you have noImplicitAny enabled).
Maybe you think craftsmanship is better in the past because of survivorship bias.

For instance, the 60s and 70s had a lot of great music come out of it, but have you ever gone down a chart of the hits from decades ago and listened to the lesser known artists? Lots of it is bad and utterly forgettable.

Same goes with a lot of other fields. We only remember the best and forget about the rest.
In addition to that, it took me a while to figure out that bounce rate, page views, and duration aren't calculated very well (if at all) if the user only goes to one page, then leaves. Finally figured out that setting up Google tag manager to trigger updates to GA on scroll not only gives you insight as to whether the content is being read (and to what extent), but also forces updates of pageviews/duration and even bounce rate as well (I am guessing due to a single page visit not being considered a bounce if they spend a certain amount of time on the page?).

> The EMH is a framework. With any scrutiny it's obvious that it can at most be first order accurate since obtaining and processing information is costly. This is not a particularly new insight or one that would be a surprise to any proponent of the EMH.

Great clarification. I'm always suspicious of interpretations of EMH that are a lot more literal than they should be, drawing effectively false conclusions from double negations. I think the truth is as you said.
The general concern with IQ when used for policymaking, or with standardized "intelligence" tests in general, is that they can fail to account for environmental or cultural factors across individuals or populations.

In both cases of covid and lead effects, the effect can be measured on the same population, and/or controlled for proxies of those factors (see "when controlling for age, gender, education level, income, racial-ethnic group and pre-existing medical disorders" in the article. So the general concern with the metric can be excluded.
And this is why big enterprises are moving out of data warehouse model for processing all the data and prefer a data lake concept. It is better to centralize some aspects of the data, but definitely not all (like common relational model for all sources, as it is in data warehouse). The data warehouse model quickly becomes super expensive to maintain and evolve.

Hey thanks for your answer, yes I also do feel that way about the paid-ness of JAMstack and related tools, but oh well we live on a capitalist society afterall, and for every venture backed project there's an indie one!

I can personally recommend PrimeCMS, it was my introduction to open source and what make me discover also AccountsJS (Which I contribute to) and graphql-modules and all the awesome @theguild graphql tools, which are actually open source.

How I see it, is nice to be able to use those free tiers to develop MVP's and have a clear plan of moving out of those once the bill gets too expensive... That's the game for me at least...

just today a retool open source alternative was in the homepage, so there's room for everyone here I think!

What JAMStack means, is more layers of abstraction, but an easiness of getting started too, you can get it as simple or complex as you want anyway...
As of today sharding is supported in InfluxDB. Prometheus is not suitable for traces, it is more for metrics. The problem I see with all these DBs are they are well suited for specific applications like prometheus for metrics, Influx for IoT. Timescale is still in nascent stages.
