QEMU and Docker under WSL just seems like it should not work, but it does, and it works well.

That doesn't follow. The very core of Ethereum is also PoW, and they're migrating to PoS.
I'd like to note also that the epub is provided in the ‘releases’ section of that repo. Though some three images are missing from it (judging by the messages from pandoc).

I discovered that only after Homebrew installed two different versions of GHC taking up three gigabytes in total, and compiled `cabal-install` and then pandoc for five hours, with two gb of temporary files for 170 mb of output. Well at least I've taken this occasion to clean up some unused apps from the machine.

It would be a surprise of less savings, but it would still be a savings on the tail with the smaller granularity. Perhaps Keep your old budgets for a while and be glad at the surprise discount.
Well yes, from our point of view. But I'd understand that there still must be something like time from the point of view of those that wrote the simulation.
We used to use an independent host (essentially self hosting) but they went under due to COVID. We moved nearly 1000 customers over to Azure and in the end we are saving money due to simple things like reservations and being cost conscious. We also took over a company that used AWS and they were over spending on their hosting by almost 10-20x what they needed. Not because AWS is inherently expensive but because it was so mismanaged. I don't think self hosting is worth it, when I can freely scale up or down machines in seconds on Azure and my price goes down, we have no fixed costs or maintenance worries. I think it's a fair trade off.

So many Android apps immediately request file access because they need it for updates, profiles, etc.

Users absolutely blindly grant it because it's such a common permission and give it no second thought. The Android sandbox is a terrible example here.
If one wants to learn what the Monad abstraction is, then one by definition will have to learn some category theory! I don't think there is any need to understand what a monad is in order to use any practical programming language. My point was that the burrito analogy does more harm than good (as predicted by Dijkstra).

> On PoW this would be like an attacker's mining rig burning down.

A rig burning down will undermine the network's security (as less electricity/capital is invested in securing it), while a stake burning strengthens it (as deflation increases the value of the remaining stake).

Fwiw there is a proposal to add a return stack to the EVM:

Your evm-assembler looks pretty interesting. It's crossed my mind before to write an evm Forth, just for fun, and the lack of a return stack so far has dissuaded me.
That's not the JS package ecosystem. Those are all various techniques from 5 years ago for packaging frontend code to save download bandwidth.

Truework | Software engineers | San Francisco, CA | Full time | Onsite | https://www.truework.com/careers/

Truework is hiring frontend, backend, infrastructure, and security software engineers to help overhaul employment and income verification in the United States.

Banks and background check providers often request employment and income data from your current and former employers to approve mortgages and loans or complete pre-employment screening. Your employer likely shares important details about your employment, including your title, job duration, and wages, with third party credit agencies to fulfill these requests. Unfortunately, this process is not transparent for employees and can be slow and error-prone for employers and verifiers.

Truework is building a modern, consent-driven employment and income verification platform to give employees visibility and control into how their employment information is shared with others. We are growing quickly and currently handle thousands of verifications every month, which has enabled the approval of billions of dollars in loans and helps employees in regulated professions (e.g. nursing) start work more quickly than before.

Our engineering team is still small, which means you’ll play big a part in shaping the future of Truework, and your work will have a significant impact and visibility. We are a Django and React (Typescript) shop, and run our infrastructure on AWS. If you want to learn more about the things we’ve built, check out our engineering blog at https://www.truework.com/blog/engineering/.

If you’re interested or want to know more about working at Truework, send me a note at victor @truework.com. (more options in my profile details)

There was misunderstanding of the technical details early on. I think poor communication and empathy exacerbated those early difficulties (= the kernel cmdline debug fiasco).

Now that it's a little more stable, I'm pretty happy with it and I especially appreciate having 'systemctl --user' to manage user services, which didn't really exist before (ssh/gpg-agent, etc).
Rant:

And below libc is probably X or Wayland which tells the kernel where to put pixels. And below that is the kernel and graphics driver which figures out how to do that and communicates it to the GPU. And below that is the actual GPU which figures out how to modulate an array of pixels into an HDMI signal. When do we stop quibbling about the size of binaries? It’s pointless to point out that small code relies on other abstractions. No one complains about tiny demo scene programs using tons of other stuff built into the OS. So why here?
So? It goes without saying what I posted wasn't public information and that I had inside sources. It's already been confirmed by others here and it's now been reported in the press so we can put to rest the idea that I'm just making things up.

>Why would this need to be done if initial implementation was planned and done correctly?

Anyone who thinks they planned everything correctly is just deluding themselves. Admitting you've fucked up, don't know how you fucked up yet but will one day need to fix the fuckup is very important in engineering.
Everyone in my age group that started programming did so because they wanted to do computer graphics. Every single one. It's definitely a great hook to inspire learning.
Has a "rebrand a popular term that is already embedded in common usage" attempt ever worked?
Are you good with people and have a network? A company does not have to be a 'startup' with product market fit, scalability, and what not.

You can start a consultancy and do business through it even if it's only you. Go for B2B. You'll be much more profitable. You can also start it with someone.

Out of curiosity, what’s the minimum hours per day that you must spend on keeping the kid alive and well? (Minimum hours assuming you don’t get someone else to take care of the kid.)
Best case scenario, that's 3 work days. If I need more, that's a dollar an hour.
YMMV, of course. The problem with lock-in is that you start designing code that is for a given vendor, AWS in this case. Once you find that the vendor either is prohibitive cost or functionality-wise, you will have to spend your development resources untangling the mess rather than shipping value.

Disclaimer: I don't have kids, but I have done my share of childcare

I suspect that this is one of the places we've lost out by splitting off to nuclear families with a small number of closely spaced children. Childcare is a job that, while difficult and stressful at times, is not particularly intellectually challenging, nor does it require very much expertise or physical strength. It's also relatively parallelizeable (the added effort of taking care of an extra simultaneous child is sublinear). Those characteristics make it a perfect job for both past-working-age people and older children.

We still utilize this dynamic some through grandparents and babysitters, but it's not nearly as prevalent as it would have been in an earlier era where multiple generations (and familial leaves) lived in a single household, with a wide range of children.
Not stupid. Also wondering this. Maybe it would be cheaper to use more efficient materials and engineering as well as perform another geo survey.

I run a business on AWS. I have a few terabytes of data on S3. It costs like $30/mo. I have about a half terabyte of data in RDS. That's about $40/mo, plus a couple thousand a year for the RIs. I run the company myself. I run SES for less than a dollar a month to handle all my transactional emails.

If I move this out of AWS, I need that data replicated for redundancy. I need some meaty servers set up, and I need to maintain the boxes that run the storage and database software. I need to build out the observability software that I get for almost free with Cloudwatch. My database instances need to failover appropriately, which doesn't happen automatically. I need to monitor disk usage and add capacity as the databases grow. I need to set up and manage whatever firewall setup I otherwise get for free with VPCs and security groups.

Managing my own email infrastructure is almost laughable. Spending more than about two and a half minutes on it each month outweighs the benefit of just running it on AWS.

My time isn't free. I either need to hire someone to build this, I need to learn it and apply it correctly, or find some magic docker stuff that does it for me.

Where is the cost savings of moving out of the cloud for me? If I'm spending all of my time in a SSH session installing kernel updates or diagnosing why my storage cluster is misbehaving, when am I supposed to actually build my product?
Maybe I'm not a 'Platform Engineer' but how is this different than Kubernetes?

I find the easiest time to do this is at midday. It's a great way to wake you up from your after-lunch slump. The kids aren't around so no one's expecting you to help take care of them. And it's a lot easier to explain to your partner that you have to work 30min more, than it is to tell them you're heading out on your own for a walk :)
Honest question: what do you base that off of? I can’t think of a way to prove the negative, that I’m not the product, that overcomes the assumption that the hardware prices are so low that they will have great incentive to monetize in other ways.
100% agree. It’s removed most all of the stress. I started doing it for my partner and then slowly added in his family, my family, and my close friends. My gifts are way more thoughtful now and fun to give, and from the feedback I’ve heard, more fun to receive as well.
Good point. I forgot to mention that, usually I just tab my way through them.

> Programmers are in massive demand right now, especially skilled ones.

From the hiring side: What we're really looking for is engineers who can work efficiently and deliver results with minimal drama. Counterintuitively, it's not always the most "skilled" engineers who get the most work done. It's not even the engineers who spend 60 hours per week at the office. It's usually the above-average people who show up, get down to work, deliver code, and go home on time or even early.

One of the challenges with hiring, especially hiring more junior engineers, is that many of them have this idea that raw coding skill is the only thing that matters. We've struggled with numerous very talented engineers who simply could not deliver work on time. Some simply procrastinate excessively. Others have perfectionist tendencies, spending countless hours rewriting and refactoring code because they refuse to commit anything less than perfect code.

Meanwhile, some of our highest output engineers are the ones who know how to strike a balance between good architecture and taking on the right amount of technical debt at each step. It can upset some of the juniors when they see other people getting ahead by shipping good-enough code that gets the job done instead of something that uses the latest and greatest frameworks and languages. At the end of the day, we're in the business of shipping things to customers, not crafting the picture perfect codebase.

> You are harder to replace than you imagine. Those "must do" barriers are largely in your head, and if they are not (they really, really are) then MOVE.

From the manager side, I'm increasing seeing young engineers who have a chip on their shoulder, believing that they are irreplaceable and therefore can make the company bend to their demands. Ironically, we're not the type of company that squeezes excess hours out of people or is constantly in crunch mode, yet some engineers are permanently convinced that any employment arrangement is exploiting them or that they're permanently underpaid. I've had multiple people leave for "greener pastures", lured away by higher paychecks, only to ask to come back once they realize how good they had it here. It pays to keep your ear to the ground about better opportunities, but beware of recruiters who are experts at telling you anything and everything you want to hear in order to get you in the door.
Exactly this. A lot of the conversation here is missing a key point of these hosting debates: context is _everything_.
Blackbird Studios | Sr PM and Sr Fullstack Developer | San Francisco or Remote, US Only | Contract to hire

Blackbird is a full service digital product studio. We specialize in a holistic approach to launching new software products inspired by Human Centered Design and Lean UX. We partner with top innovation and design firms (like IDEO) to bring startup best practices in launching ambitious new products into market. Our teams include CTO consulting, Software Development, UX/UI, team building, and "Build, Measure, Learn" Product Management. We work with large and small companies/startups on projects ranging from 2-12 months with 2-7 people on each project.

We build full stack web, mobile, IoT, physical installations, etc. Our favorite stack is React, React Native, GraphQL, and Rails. We also use a wide range of other tech as needed since we face a pretty diverse set of challenges. Recent and upcoming examples: Flutter, Elixir/Phoenix, .Net, Native iOS/Swift, Android/Kotlin.

Working at Blackbird is very different from larger product companies. We operate in very strategic relationships with our clients and partners which gives us all a unique opportunity every few months to deep dive into a new interesting understanding of our client's business and build ground up new apps where everyone is making major and early contributions. It is very satisfying and fun work!

We are looking for people who are excited about building great software products, who are great teammates, and who are passionate about continuously refining best practices for creating successful digital products. Experience in dev team leadership, new product development, collaboration with business and design stakeholders, and consulting experience are all a huge plus.

For Sr PM, specific skills ideally include hands on experience working directly with designers, developers, business in building, launching, and refining production software, exceptional communication skills, and an obsession with process and best practices for high functioning team collaboration, launch, testing, goal setting, measurement, etc.

For Sr Dev, specific skills ideally include our favorite stack (at least very interested in learning) plus (nice to have) expertise in one of .NET/C#, iOS/Swift, or Android/Kotlin.

We work remotely but occasional travel to San Francisco and other locations is part of the job for project kickoffs and other critical collaboration phases or meetings.

Interested? We want to hear from you! Please send resume/CV or LinkedIn to jobs@blackbird.us. I am a founder so ask me anything! If there are other aspects of what we do that interest you definitely still hit me up!

Ours is 3. He's winding down at 7:30 PM. That leaves 8-11 PM most evenings for my time.

I'm not going to pretend like I don't miss having 5-11 PM for myself, or the fact that weekends tend to be quite busy. But I've done the "all non-work time is _my_ time" for my previous 38 years. And I've also come to understand that the luxury of time I had previously I was also quite adept at BS'ing myself about: "I'll start that tomorrow! never starts it"
