> Consider that a route might start as an idempotent way to update a RESTful object, but then requirements change over time and that method call now has non-idempotent side effects, such as updating a counter, or sending an email notification.

Then...you stay with PUT because “Like the definition of safe, the idempotent property only applies to what has been requested by the user; a server is free to log each request separately, retain a revision control history, or implement other non-idempotent side effects for each idempotent request.” (RFC 7231, Sec. 4.2.2)

> My experiences with HTTP have convinced me that the verbs are an abstract idea at best

They are quite specific in their semantics (and not just things like the definitions of safe and idempotent, but specifically the semantics as to what each verb means the request is asking for with regard to the target resource.)

> and some optimism that gRPC would let people focus on the actual problems at play, instead of lots of random distractions. (The verbs were only one of several such distractions.)

I think gRPC is pretty universally superior to fake-REST, which is basically ad hoc RPC-over-HTTP, usually using JSON and with loose if any regard for HTTP semantics, and usually used for applications where an RPC approach is quite sensible.

I don't think it and REST even address approximately the same problem space.
Hahahaha, awesome - instead of substantively addressing the argument, just go with “hmm, your comment sounds pretty racist, despite having nothing to do with race”. Killer strategy
Sorry that happened to you. In my village someone from the city dumped 3 truckloads of toxic waste from an XTC lab. One barrel contained a body.
How so? Green light means the same thing as if there were no lights at all; you yield to oncoming traffic when you want to turn.

The signal for "safe to turn" is completely different, a green arrow.

It's not mandatory either. You can sit and wait if you want.

Does anyone know of any packaging efforts to run microk8s without snap? I love microk8s, but running snap just for that one package feels like an overkill.
They’re shutting down in this manner because the government came down so hard on them it put them into bankruptcy already.

California has a really strange set of thoughts here... strictly punishing power shutdowns (based on wind speeds, which are only semi-predictable) and strictly punishing not shutting down. They’re to bare the full cost of fires and deaths they cause. Unfortunate... they also regulate PG&E with the CPUC and other local governments to make it so they can’t do anything but maintain cables (not improve them).

Not to mention they have an insanely high estimate to “underground” the cables and some crazy regulations basically pushing politicians and people in general simply to avoid putting cables underground - https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/General.aspx?id=4403

What does this lead to? Well either massive fires OR no power. PG&E is just an easy scape goat for an incompetent government with too much regulation.

In what way? The bosses at CALPERS come from CA government, the losses in CALPERS have to be made up by the CA government, the earnings of CALPERS go the CA government.

1. What is not objective about "everyone stops"?

2. Picking an arbitrary street to have right of way doesn't sound objective to me!

If you're talking about what happens when multiple people approach, there are rules for that, just like rules are necessary when multiple people are using a roundabout at the same time.
>...It is all about nuclear no matter the cost.

Oddly, this is the exact sort of behavior I sometimes see with the advocates for renewables.

Cost should always be a consideration, but when people conveniently ignore some costs and focus on others, it does a disservice to the goal of decarbonizing the grid.

The levelized cost for residential rooftop solar is at least as high as nuclear, but that cost doesn't seem to matter to some advocates. The cost for renewables + storage is at least the cost of nuclear, but that cost also doesn't matter to some advocates. (If grid storage was cheap, we would have built it decades ago.)

https://www.lazard.com/perspective/levelized-cost-of-energy-...

Some advocates recommend massively overbuilding solar or wind to deal with seasonal differences. This is obviously a cost multiplier but that doesn't seem to matter to some advocates.

Advocates also describe how we will rebuild the electrical grid to move vast amounts of solar or wind power across the USA. This will not be cheap or easy. Even the relatively small proposed Tres Amos SuperStation hasn’t been completed yet. This cost doesn't seem to matter to some advocates.

Advocates for renewables seem happy with relying on natural gas peaker plants to get around the costs of building grid storage, but methane is a very potent GHG in the short term and there are lots of methane losses in its capture and distribution. No one seriously thinks that natural gas is a long term answer to climate change.

It is possible there will be some major advances in grid storage that will allow us to stop using natural gas to cover for the intermittent nature of wind and solar. In that case - great! But... what if that doesn't pan out? The dangers we are facing in the coming decades are immense. If you were forced to choose, would you prefer the world to suffer through catastrophic climate change rather than use nuclear power?
A side hustle is just fundamentally different than a full-time job. On the one hand, something else is paying the bills, so you can be patient. But on the other hand, you can't take meetings 9-5, or push nearly as hard on the work as you could if it was full time, so you have to be patient.

It's quite difficult to work on something enough on the side to build momentum and get it rolling, and it's extra hard to maintain that momentum for long enough for it to reach "escape velocity," that is, to become profitable to where you can quit your day job.

So the challenge of managing the two jobs, and specifically transitioning from day job + hobby (at the beginning), to two jobs but one doesn't really pay well, to finally quitting the first job so you can focus on the bootstrapped project...

That's just a whole different beast from somebody who quits their job and starts a business (with or without raising money).
I like trying to make electronic music as a hobby, and I totally agree with your thoughts about just intonation. There's no reason to not at least try it once if you're making electronic music. I personally find it does often produce results that sound better or more interesting to me; chords and intervals are definitely (by definition and subjectively) more consonant and "pure".

However, not only must one adjust the tuning each time you want to switch keys, just intonation actually doesn't work for all intervals even within a single key: https://music.stackexchange.com/a/22017. This is something I often don't see mentioned.

If you're programming the music entirely in software, you could avoid this by basically forgetting about the notion of notes/pitch classes/scales/keys entirely and focus solely on the frequencies and ratios. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the best music of the distant future is partly created in such a way (by humans, AIs, and/or both working together). But if you're working in a DAW, the best option may be to consider a few intervals off-limits, if you want everything to be pure.
I'm not sure this is a fair comparison. AUR has next to no rules. You could just as easily maintain a PPA. As described in the article, the package is available via Debian-testing.
You can still manage the risk (e.g. controlled burns in critical areas, cut lines to prevent spread). The goal isn't neccesarily to stop everything from ever burning, just to stop everything from burning at the same time.

but make their own decisions on profits and investments

I'm not so sure about that. I can't find the link, but someone posted the CPUC minutes on the discussion of PG&E's budget. It was a 900 page document.

It has things like "PG&E recommends replacing the chain link fence surrounding the substation located 10 miles outside Modesto, CA". Then a comment by CPUC like "We find this request unreasonable as the fence still prevents site access and has an estimated remaining lifespan of 10 years".

The way the minute read was PG&E doesn't make any decisions around where money is spent with the CPUC approving it. But maybe it's not binding? Either way the CPUC is deeply embedded with how PG&E operates.

Another interpretation is that the digerati are wrong, crashes don't really matter that much. Nobody gives a fuck who is at fault as long as someone pays. End of story.

When we implemented Kubernetes at my employer, one of the things we made clear from the outset was that there is no LTS release of Kubernetes. Keeping k8s and friends up to date is at least one full time job (ideally a half-pizza team).

This also heavily influenced our choice of OS away from ones that emphasized LTS package management and towards more recent kernels with better BPF and kTLS support.

(We also intentionally used short-lived TLS certificates to prevent anyone from running a cluster longer than several months without updates. Worked great. There are workarounds of course but anyone aware of them is the kind of person who updates anyway.)
What is really singular in the case of XOM is that that it was one of the O&G supermajor that was not laying of its employees, even during previous downturns.

It's about control. Some people feel a public utility is closer to everyone's control, as they feel we have a good reign on our government. Others feel corporations are closer to everyone's control, as anyone can start an opposing corporation and compete on even ground, or influence an existing corporation by leveraging social cues.

It's also about trust. If you are an individual that can more naturally give and help with little in return, it is easier to see the government as an altruistic and balanced entity that will do good in the end, especially if you feel empowered to assist or even lead those efforts. If you are often more worried about being hurt by other people, it is easier to see corporations as powerful tribes that can collectively protect us in the end, especially if you possess the skills to succeed in such environments and gain access to their benefits.

On your example, it is a great benefit not having to worry about money, but there are still many reasons why a public water utility still might not deliver safe water, some of which still revolve around money: If the utility is not adequately funded, it may still be unable to deliver safe water. Consider the difficult situation we have today with lead pipes. It's not any easier for private corporations to deal with, but theoretically I think each one would feel a greater sense of urgency to fix the problem first.

As for your terror, I find it comforting to see it this way: If an entity fails to use public infrastructure constructively, regardless of whether it be a public utility or private corporation, it will be modified or replaced until we find something that works. It will take time but we will get there, as long as we're in the company of good faith -- and we certainly are.

I won't pretend to be an expert on the subject, but I think it's more a synth problem than a DAW problem. VST, for example, deals in 12TET, so the best a DAW could do to support alternate tuning systems would be to translate each pitch into a 12TET pitch + offset. Which is feasible, but like, not a feature I would expect to find. (I would be curious to know if any DAW actually can do this.)

Personally I have experimented with alternate tuning using SuperCollider. It definitely doesn't qualify as simple, but the upside of code-as-music is that if you can imagine it and express it, you can do it. I recently made a track that switches tuning systems periodically by responding to a particular MIDI CC. I have to imagine that those sorts of shenanigans would be pretty hard without some code.

To live a bit more in Ableton-land, you might be able to find a Max device that does something similar-- maybe a MIDI insert that converts MIDI notes to note + pitch bend?

This.

It's quite sad to see the lack of innovation in western countries around the build and development of nuclear power plants. Red tape, regulation and lack of political will (due to unfavourable views on nuclear technology) will continue to see most countries fall behind on this.

It's really quite sad. Nuclear has a negative connotation to most but it's the future. Interstellar space travel will rely on the nuclear technology that should be worked on today.

I reason that we should be building and developing these technologies now rather than continuing to rely on burning carbon based fuels to power our homes. The technology is there. The will is not.

Sadly, too many dummies keep on pandering on about how it's dangerous which in turn, drives up cost - then other dummies come along and say "Oh it is too expensive", without understanding the first group of people that drove the cost up to begin with.

I came here to say this, thanks. Sometimes I hesitate from posting about this because It's a very sensitive topic. The reason for your pain might be totally different from mine and I hate to assume what worked for me would work for you, etc. In any case, I was also changed by reading Sarno's books and that's the interesting part.

My pain started in my chest, left and right. Then it transitioned to the center, I went to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack. Got blood tests and studies done. In the following months the pain took over other parts of my body and my arms, legs and back were hurting a lot. I was having a very hard time working, I had to ask for a couple of weeks off and try to figure out what was going on.
Sometimes the pain would go away for a few hours and then come back. I didn't have a clue of what was going on because I couldn't find a consistent pattern, it was just moving everywhere and I couldn't even play with my kid, which was killing me.

I was browsing YouTube and was reading about this guy that had Carpal Tunnel, I was curious because I was trying to avoid making my pain worse. So when I was reading the comments, I saw someone wrote something like "Read Sarno's book and thank me later".

I was intrigued and started reading about him. I started with his book: The Divided Mind. From there it all started to change gradually. I found a local physician that specializes in TMS, and that help me so much. after a few weeks it all started to fade away considerably. Today I feel great. All this happened in a period of like 8 months.

I agree. Outside of a business context, most individuals aren't hurting for time in the first place. They usually don't even notice anything less than huge time savings or splashy benefits.

It's no wonder consumer software, especially productivity software, is mostly free nowadays even when they cost a lot to develop. It's actually pretty hard for consumers to justify paying for any software. The consumer software developers that succeed usually shift the software cost way from the consumer somehow, either by creatively re-arranging prices (eg. baking the price into bundled hardware) or charging someone else (eg. ads). IFTTT has a tough gig and I wish them the best.

Async/await provides a mechanism for explicit context switching between threads. This is useful when you might need to run code on specific native threads or other native tasks outside the runtime.

It seems like it would be much harder or impossible in languages that work to hide these details. How do you go from implicit blocking to explicit native thread usage?

At least Loom seems to be keeping native threads so Java code can simply fall back to that, I guess.
