Wow... I hasn't heard of the project before, knowing its failure makes me unhappier ;-(

BTW, In my dream, I hope there exists an ATX compatible motherboard and a standard specification for its CPU-board, so that you can fit an ARM machine inside an existing computer chassis, and allowing you to upgrade the chips by simply swapping CPU boards. On paper it looks possible, but in practice there are some potential problems (based on my limited electronics knowledge): signal integrity (PCI-E should be solvable, but DDR3 is extremely problematic) and heatsink. However, a compromise to put DRAM on the CPU board (soldered or socketed) should be fine, and heatsink is hopefully solvable if the CPU is power efficient. The HoneyComb LX2K workstation [0] is essentially designed based on this idea, it has a CPU board on top of a Mini-ITX board, and it doesn't need heatsink.

Still, without many high-performance ARM CPUs for selection, it's essentially only a big Raspberry Pi...

Are also the loss of smell and messed up taste effects of the immune system? I caught Covid at the end of October, and those symptoms lasted well beyond the final negative molecular swab test, so it seems the case.
This is the epitome of cargo-cult thinking. Why on earth should mask-wearing when not necessary be normalized?

You're right that it's political - except that it has actual detrimental consequences to society to normalize doing unnecessary things, especially when your goal is expressly to divide people (as that's literally the main thrust of what what "political statements" in the form of virtue signalling accomplish).

Rational, well-informed people should wear masks indoors and in busy outdoor areas, and enjoy some fresh air when they can get away from that. Wearing a mask when you don't need to to "reinforce" unnecessary behaviour is irrational, and will continue to make anyone who is anti-mask think that you're not approaching the situation reasonably.
I did forget about AWS, which IMO is the one Amazon product that's arguably essential under certain circumstances. But those are usually in the context of an employer, and I generally draw a line between work-use and personal-use. For example, I use no Google products personally but I do have to use them at work.

As far as subsidiaries, that's more nuanced, though I do avoid Whole Foods and don't find myself using the others very often. If you're in Texas, Central Market is a perfect alternative to Whole Foods. I have Arlo cameras instead of Ring, which is owned by Netgear (not that home cameras are exactly essential). You're right that IMDB and Twitch don't have great alternatives, though you can get a lot out of both of those without spending any money. I didn't realize they let other companies use their shipping network, which is a more complicated case.

Still, even just foregoing the name-brand services sends a signal. And anyway, most of their really egregious practices are around their warehouses (and in turn, the core Amazon retail site).
Makes sense! Maybe my confusion (which was more about the format than the topic), could be solved just by some subtle sound effect to mark the switch between you talking to the guest and you talking to the listener? Since there's no video in a podcast to give this context, the listener has to exert some effort trying to deduce it from other clues.

For example, Accidental Tech Podcast inserts a small jingle at the start of a sponsor break whereas Talk Python inserts a sudden awkward silence in the conversation. It took me many episodes of the latter to stop wondering if the player had crashed, or if the interviewer lost his train of thought, or the guest was offended, etc. The jingle lets the listener know what's happening, which gives a more relaxing listing experience.

So some easy way to distinguish the interview from the narration would be useful, I think.

But maybe I'll be less confused once I've listened to a few more episodes. A new podcast always takes some getting used to. Thanks for making it!
How do you figure? ~50 billion is something like $300 per worker.
I think the downside of not wearing a mask is, in fact, normalising not wearing a mask in the eyes of people who do not take into account that it’s not worn for a reason and because there is no one near me. Thus I try to put mask on when I see someone on the street even if they are far away.

I think not wearing masks again will be easy to normalise. For example, Hong Kong got hit by the first SARS and everyone wore a mask for a time, and then when it was over all was back to normal and masks quickly became rare.
Color me genuinely surprised. I would have guessed that wage theft was much larger. Experience suggests to me that ~everyone has been pressured at least once to roll hours forward to avoid overtime, but most people don't shoplift.
I never had access to the Flash "developer environment". There was a free Flash-like environment that came out around 2005 or so (I think it was called Adobe Air) that you could use to compile a .swf, but it didn't have the animation capabilities of proper Flash. I've always been curious if the Flash animation studio really had anything to offer in terms of usability over, say, modern HTML5 in WebStorm or Visual Studio.

I remember being amazed by the sophistication of the animations some Flash developers could put together using it and I always wondered if the tooling made it easier, or if somebody painstakingly drew cells one by one and then spliced them together with an otherwise relatively dumb video creator. I remember people going on about (then non-free) ColdFusion back in the 90's - when I actually got a chance to use it years later I was shocked at how awful it really was and how little the development environment actually offered over a simple text editor like Sublime.

> Just one of those moving parts stops and not only does it kill a part of your internet of things, but there's a good chance you'll be in for a lengthy troubleshooting session.

This is why I haven't jumped on board with HA or anything else. Long ago I had a very automated house with X10, but over time it slowly degraded to the point that I got tired of debugging my house every weekend so I ripped it all out. Ok, that was X10 and we all know X10 sucks, but my point is that was a single protocol from a single manufacturer. Imagine the MTBF where you have a federated system with 10 different protocols and 10 different "integrations."

No thank you. The (manual) light switches in my house are 20 years old and they'll probably last another 30. But "smart" gizmos are just not built to last. They could be, but they aren't.
System configuration is also just another store item, really. The current development, however, is to move away from the old nix-daemon and to (slowly) finish its replacement that reuses all of the other existing Guix features for process isolation and building.

This is desirable as there are minor annoying differences between the build environment spawned by the C++ daemon and the environment one would get using "guix environment --container". Unifying this by simply using Guile on both sides of the divide (build side vs host side) would allow for more code reuse within Guix and unlock a few features.

It's not a high priority because the modified nix-daemon works fine for now, but a CS student is moving forward with the Guile daemon as a university project now.

So the dream of sharing the same daemon may not be realistic. I think that this is not a big deal, because the daemon really should serve the project and as the needs of the two projects diverge so do their respective daemons.

I agree about Kubernetes but not about Terraform. Terraform is easy to understand, and it's basically just declarative configuration. You have some Cloudflare records for your domain? You can put them in a file, wiki or declare them in Terraform. So maybe just use Terraform and get the benefit of free deployment?

> I realised that the code I found most readable were always in a pipeline, regardless of language

I'm in a similar boat, I find the pipeline-style code to be the most pleasant and use ->, ->>, cond->, some-> very heavily in my Clojure code and I actually spent a few months with Factor before I got into Clojure.

For large chunks of my code, I find the concatenative style an excellent fit, but the remaining parts where I have to juggle the stack ruins the experience for me. I really don't want to drop, dup, rot or whatnot.

I've always wondered if there wasn't some way of making a concatenative language that naturally didn't require stack operations like that, but I haven't tried too hard to figure it out (or check if anyone else has). I guess something that might work is to combine concatenative "statements" with something like let bindings and destructuring, so you can destructure your stack to extract the stuff you need, binding them to names to be used elsewhere.
Many of those processes can actually be done biologically by enzymes, without needing high temperatures.
> the idea that our success is guaranteed strictly because of the capital investment is honestly a bit insulting

Nobody but you has that idea. The article is a story about other companies who have maybe shown indications that some can "run amok" with an influx of capital, at the expense of all other stakeholders, including the user.

This article is not a story about you or the non-corporal entity you are birthing and even pretending for a minute that it is, is just silly.

Work ethic has become a work fetish. How and when did this happen?

Is there any definitive consensus that work has to be conducted 40hrs/week and 54 weeks/year.

I would appreciate better and consistent documentation to do more non-trivial things with Caddy, but for your basic use-cases it takes a lot of the pain away. Unfortunately, nginx and Apache still win on the (probably unfair) basis that they've got well over 10 years of history, and all of the cultural knowledge that comes with that.

Thanks for the response. I suspected the two species wouldn’t be compatible though I’ve heard of stranger relationships between individual animals.

I searched (DDG) for “cat saliva toxic to birds” and I found this very informative article [1] on the subject of rescuing birds from cats (also bringing the topic back to corvids). It concurs with what you say

> Regardless whether injuries have been found or not, every cat caught bird requires antibiotic treatment.

But more distressingly, it goes on to say that

> Releasing a seemingly uninjured cat caught bird or animal without pain relief and antibiotic treatment is therefore irresponsible and cruel, and will condemn the animal to prolonged suffering and death.

Now I know better. I’ll have to try getting a louder or more sensitive bell that makes it harder for the cat to creep up on its prey. The cat hasn’t brought back any birds or mice in the past couple of months but I don’t know whether that’s because it’s harder to catch prey at this time of year or because he has learned that we’ll just take the injured animal from him and keep him upstairs whenever he does.

To be honest, slipping a mask on (or pulling up a neck gaiter) when approaching people on the trail (especially if they're wearing masks), I just see it as a polite gesture even if I'm skeptical it makes the slightest bit of difference. Mostly I generally avoid going places where I'm likely to have to pass a lot of people.
It doesn't matter what your understanding of the science is. By passing other people without having a mask you pull up, you're imposing your estimates of safety on others, who may wish to avoid having to pass people who aren't wearing masks, even outdoors.

That's extremely obnoxious behavior, even though you're likely right on the low risks of transmission in sparse outdoor settings.
