> under inhumane circumstances remains very popular.

I recently read an article about the popularity of '/r/justiceserved' type forums (the original tagline of this subreddit was "Now with 40% more police brutality" but was changed as it became more popular). I can't for the life of me find the article, but it was a fairly ambivalent account of how this kind of forum taps into a deeply innate arousal from visceral punishment. Something that the author decides, sadly, appears to be in all of us.

That is not what baseload power is. You are talking about peak load generation. And pumped hydro is a classic smoothing solution to energy storage from uneven renewable base load generation.
I think COVID is different. There have been coordinate disinformation campaigns emanating from vested parties in the past. Tobacco and fossil fuel companies actively invest in tamping down regulation and sponsoring fake science to support their goals. There is no pro-COVID lobby in any corner of the world who wants people to die to protect their profits. Trump has made some ham-fisted attempts to pretend one exists, but in general companies big and small are treating it as very real and very dangerous to their bottom lines. Small businesses and brick and mortars are pushing to relax restrictions with the express intent of trading health for wealth. I see a really disturbing trend among American Conservatives to just decide there's nothing to be done about the pandemic and whoever dies, dies.
It looks like you don't, but I've always seen Docker Hub as...well...a hub, not just any ol' registry. It's where people publish final builds of the images that they release to the world and others pull them from there. If you're using it for basically passing your own images between CI workers or whatever other workload that requires you to constantly be pushing and pulling, you should be paying them for it or hosting your own registry.

If you're in a situation where having your own registry means Docker Hub "loses all relevance", then you're probably not the kind of user they have any reason to care about (and that's nonsense anyway, because you'll still almost certainly be using 3rd party images from there).
I could see an argument where Rust is performant and low level enough that you can use it at the bottom of the stack, and has good enough abstractions that it's productive to use higher in the stack. There are certainly benefits to using one language for everything, but this logic reasoning relies on you having a team that is very familiar with it, and having your bits of tooling and libraries worked out for your setup.
I’m not entirely sure this is true in practice.

Games can render huge, vibrant, dynamic 3D worlds at 60fps and increasingly at >120Hz rates. Web browsers lag if a piece of dust falls on the wrong spot.

I agree with you in theory. But in practice retained mode is a mountain range or complexity and doesn’t actually perform better.

Hi Kelsey! Appreciate your take here. You obviously have deeper insight than I do. Honestly I'm in favor of the path I described. Engineers I work with spend too much time already arguing the best platform for any given service, especially when the pros and cons are very, very similar. That being said, with the recent features released for Run (load-balancing, min instances, streaming gRPC) we're basically 100% bought in to that direction. I can't think of any feature AppEngine or Functions have (esp AppEngine) that would pull me back.

Though I will say I dearly miss the days of first generation GAE standard, when things like memcache, taskqeue, datastore, auth and logging were all baked in as first-class citizens and Just Worked™.
> The ballots have to be received by the end of the day of election.

The argument here is: why should someone who voted on election day, or even a day or two before have their vote thrown out because their ballot doesnt arrive to be counted until the day after the election?

I think the argument that there is plenty of time is reasonable, but many elections in the US can be very, very close, so it does matter. Throwing out valid ballots that were mailed on or before election day effectively disenfranchises people (keep in mind some people cant go to polls to vote or drop off ballots, and in some places it is illegal to have anyone besides the registered voter drop off the ballot, so it must be mailed).
As a long-time eBirder this is something that can be stressful initially, but goes away when you understand more about the math. eBird has excellent documentation of what they hope for [0], but to simplify it I'll just say you should make your best conservative estimate. See one flock of 20 Mourning Doves fly over and another flock of 30 later? Maybe it's completely different birds in the second flock or maybe the initial 20 just picked up some friends? Truthfully the difference in data between entering 30 and entering 50 seems huge, but statistically it's not. In all likelihood you are almost always undercounting common birds and there are probably many more than 50 around if you're seeing a big flock like that.

Don't let feat of uncertainty get you down. A good faith effort to put in estimated data is actually useful, but not entering any data adds nothing.

How to Evaluate Ecommerce Development Partners
I have a technical question related to this post. On the front page of the site there's a prominent announcement that the site will be offline for 48 hours for a database migration. Is this fairly common, and is this reasonable?

I've made some small sites but nothing that's ever gained real traction. I've always told myself that if I build something that starts to take off I should learn to do maintenance without interrupting availability. But I also remind myself that for anything I'm likely to build, it would probably be perfectly reasonable to take the site offline for an hour or two to take care of maintenance tasks and updates. I like seeing this approach, and I really like the communication style in the section "What can I do while eBird is down?"

Can anyone with experience maintaining a project of this scale comment on how reasonable a 48-hour downtime period is?

"If you flip a fair coin 1,000,000 times and get 1,000,000 heads in a row, the probability of getting heads on the next flip is still 1/2."

Does this square with the law of large numbers? The example is almost loaded to begin with, only claiming "a fair coin" but then going out of the way to show the opposite.

I would give the author the benefit of the doubt, but I would have thought a more accurate definition would be that the average outcome for many coin flips would be heads 50% of the time, given enough flips and assuming a fair coin.

So seeing 1,000,000 heads in a row, after 1,000,000 flips, would make me think the probability of heads the next flip is actually 100%, because this coin obviously is not fair.

Technically, if the coin is known to be fair, then sure...

> I know a couple of people that have been bullied but haven't seen much violent behavior from them, but they in general are very uncooperative with any authority (police, social services) and have a pretty low trust in the system

Most likely because whatever system was supposed to protect them, failed to do so. Schools like government are authoritarian structured institutions, they're just another "system". In a sense, schools condition children to be obedient to authority preparing them for life in a society with a government and rules. If they cant trust that system then are they supposed to trust the system they are being conditioned for?

This is the same feeling of mistrust that evolves in minority groups who are bullied/oppressed (same thing really.)
I also read that the bullies themselves have a higher chance of success in their lifes than the rest of the population.

> The interpretation of a linear difference of 0.001 in probability depends on the two numbers you're subtracting

No it does not and I have shown why. A difference of 0.001 in probability means that the two events differ in their likelihood to occur by 1 in 1,000 trials.

> OP pointed out intuitively why adding and subtracting probabilities in the linear scale don't make sense (examples would be comparing 0.001 and 1 versus 0.500 and 0.499)

This is only intuitive if you have a misunderstanding of probability.

> The proper interpretation of your Case 1 and Case 2 should be the ratio of heads and tails as you flip coins

This ratio is not relevant to anything.

Most of the time, reinventing the wheel will get you in troubles on such a sensitive topic as IDP. Troubles come in various forms: missing deadlines, maintenance burden, change of employees who may or may not know a single thing about security. In small companies (web/digital agencies) productivity and reliability is what everybody wants, not proving the ability of implementing your own similar solution. Given enough time, anybody can implement the same set of features Okta/Auth0 provides. But how much time is that? How reliable is your code? Is it really secure?

As an engineer, I completely agree with you: reimplementing stuff on your own is an amazing learning opportunity (did it a billion times myself).

But as an owner of a digital agency in the past, I will take a 3rd party IDP over custom solution for production-ready products any time. It's just not worth the risk for solid businesses, not to mention the maintenance burden, lack of features, etc.

We are definitely shooting for the "professionals who perform their job at an elite level" vibe more than a socioeconomic distinction. That being said, this is a valid criticism since "elite" has some obvious connotations.
20 years ago a "six figure salary" meant you were rich, and was exclusively the domain of corporate executives, wall street traders, doctors and lawyers.

10 years ago a "six figure salary" included developers at FAANG companies, mid-level managers and late-career roles in more industries, highly-tenured individuals in government roles.

Today, a "six figure salary" qualifies you for low-income housing in the bay area and is paid as entry-level or mid-career salary to an incredibly wide range of jobs.

> Customers buying multiple flavours of a product with the same price but different UPCs, which the cashier rings up by scanning the first product then hitting "times 10"

I worked at retail (Uniqlo to be specific) and it was definetely a rule to not do this. They wanted us to scan everything one by one even if they were the same color and size. This allowed for a pretty accurate information on stock, e.g. we could see how many of a given sweater in given size and color is still in storage etc.

Probably this is too tedius for some retail (groceries with very small unit price) but very smart rule in general.

The North wasn't a single, unified entity. There were 4 major polities in the Union during WW2:

- New England and the Great Lakes were virulently anti-slavery for primarily economic reasons, but some moralist reasons also.

- New York City was mercantile and not thrilled about being in the war. Lots of protests and political violence in NYC during the Civil War.

- Pennsylvania and the Lower Ohio Valley were generally more anti-slavery for moral and economic reasons, but generally more pacifist and amiable toward the South than New Englanders.

- Appalachia, which covers all the border areas along the mountains running from central PA to northern AL, who were completely ambivalent about slavery, but extremely patriotic and anti-secession.

Pre-1860 a vote on slavery certainly would have failed in the North and may have led additional states to secede. Lincoln was explicitly not pro-abolition for this reason.

You don't think it might be a bit hyperbolic to make the generalization that schools in general cause bullying? What is it about schools that are different from other gatherings? Is it every school at every age in every country?

It's a reasonable question.

Yep, exactly. Lower-level languages however also give you much more foot-guns.

These days my ideal app is written in Elixir for almost everything due to the insane parallelisation and fault-tolerance that it offers (and the copy semantics that make shared memory bugs impossible) with Rust sprinkled at the critically important-to-be-fast places -- like working with sqlite3 for example.

All of that could be achieved with Rust or any other language really. But it requires tons of tooling, CI/CD jobs, Git hooks, static analyzers, linters, formatters etc. And a good chunk of all that doesn't even exist for many languages.

So I prefer to make my own blend that has the important advantages at the right places.

Some time back, I bought/sold on Discogs in the 12" vinyl category (music_mike) from thrift store finds. I was able to throw together a Cordova app within a day to price stuff while I was out, and their API is simply fantastic.

What are the chances that a kid who has had his/her lunch money stolen by the school bully is documented in an official school record?
