> taking a one time "excess deaths" hit as we have done with past pandemics

The black plague -the biggest one we have ever gotten as far as we know- lasted 7 years, I don't think that constitutes under any definition a "one time 'excess deaths' hit"; also I'm pretty sure that given 50% of the population died nobody was free from depression (or loneliness/suicide for that matter) given that in all likelihood half of the people you knew had died when it ended.
Supabase: Nine Months of Building
I never need to use Windows or MacOS for any of my classes in college (although I initially did for the first few months of freshman year before I first started using Linux). For some classes, the students using MacOS or Windows actually had to jump through more hoops; one class required us to ssh into the school's Linux server for some assignments, which required Windows users to download extra software due to not having an ssh client by default (at least, not back then; I'm not sure if powershell has one now), and in another, we had to use Xilinx, a proprietary IDE for writing Verilog to design circuits for FPGAs, which only had builds for Linux and Windows, not MacOS. For the latter one, the TAs literally distributed flash drives with an Ubuntu VirtualBox instance for the Mac users (who comprised the majority of CS students at my university).

They still think of themselves as a hardware firm, this restrains usage elasticity to a level where system hardware scaling is a dominant cost driver rather than system performance.
Besides the inefficiencies of physical space at AWS sites, it is also a fine business for the cloud provider as it generates a less volatile usage pattern than normal. As Apple is acting as a monopolist by dictating the same terms to everyone, they further remove any competitive advantage of providing anything else.
They just updated it two weeks ago. There's no reason they would change their mind again quickly.
That's all nice in theory, but what's the compelling empirical evidence for corporate science vs academic research? A professor might conversely argue the open nature of scholarship and freedom of inquiry as being essential to basic science, and capitalist businesses fundamentally cannot provide that. So it goes back to empirical support. And last I checked, companies still need a pool of trained PhDs to choose from, and those come from academia, for good reason.

There's no such thing as an "immune booster". The immune system is incredibly complex and nuanced, and there isn't a knob (or 10) that you can tweak to turn it up or down. It exists in a continuum of largely understood configurations, and it can learn and adapt (not always with good results). If anything, "boosting" it as in turning up immune activity is usually terrible (think auto-immune disorders, inflammation, cancer).

The "misinformation" people are battling is about a) unsubstantiated health claims and b) the fact that supplement manufacturers don't need to provide any evidence or follow any regulations regarding what's actually in the supplements. That means they can say they're selling e.g. Vitamin C but it's just sugar.

You can get more than 10 times as many ARM cores on a server chip compared to a M1 Mac. There is no way it is more energy efficient or cost effective to run 10+ Macs versus one server. Amazon designs their own chips, too.

Are you referring to Apple's laptop x86 -> ARM change? Entertaining the idea that the ISA is significant here: Surely there would be a big market for ARM chips in the Android and server sides too, so this shouldn't be the only reason why other vendors aren't making competitive ARM chips. Apple's laptop volumes aren't that big compared to those markets.

And of course you have to factor in the large amount of pain that Apple is imposing on its user and ISV base in addition to the inhouse cost of switching out the OS and supporting two architectures for a long time in parallel. A vendor making chips for Android or servers wouldn't have to bear that.

$26 per day according to TC, for a full Mini (6 core i7/32 GB RAM). If you do enough that you can get high utilization that is cheaper than the CI services. (e.g. travis wants close to double for 2 vCore/8GB VMs) EDIT: On the other hand, renting a physical machine at Macstadium is a lot cheaper, so you'll want to have the AWS integration or some flexibility...

More of a comment on the author, I've found his other articles enlightening, useful as both introductions to functional programming ideas and as comprehensive deep dives demonstrating their intuitive nature both in code and contextual application.

A lot of the articles in conjunction with some other resources[1][2][3] are great for diving into functional programming (I've watched and read these many times).

If you do front end development with React, I highly recommend the following two videos[4][5] with Ryan Florence and Micahel Jackson (devs behind react-router and Remix) on the compositional nature of React components and hooks.

The last note I'll add is, once you get into Functional Programming, you start wanting to use `compose` or its counter part, `pipe` everywhere and coding becomes a lot more fun.

I'll put a final plug for one of my own posts on how composition manifests in Javascript/React code[6].

Circle CI does let clients access the machine IIRC you can SSH into the host if the job fails and tinker around to debug issues.
Sure, and there's also functional composition (functional code has the same problem - what does map(f) return if f throws?).

I think this is covered by the abstraction-breaking nature of failure modes, though. If your BufferedReader exposed the underlying Reader's failure modes, it's not just any BufferedReader any more, it's a BufferedReader<MySpecialReader>, and you don't get runtime polymorphism. You can write more generics to keep the polymorphism in static-land, but then you lose the ability to make choices based on error types.

The incompatibility is between errors and abstraction, not simply a single instance of composition.

This seems a bit half-baked and niche at the moment. You have to rent a whole machine for 24 hours, which is expensive and prevents on-demand scaling. I wonder if Apple and Amazon are just dipping their toes in to prepare for a deeper collaboration in future.
Depends on your goal. Do you care about people knowing you’re on Signal? Or do you want to keep who you’re messaging private?
Signal has features make it so that even if someone knows you’re using Signal, if you use sealed sender, they won’t know who you’re messaging with.
For me, I’d rather an account tied to me for discovery, but to keep plain text metadata off their servers.

That said, Signal plans to release non-phone identifiers, which I’m sure many are eagerly awaiting. I’m looking forward to it too, actually so I can use it to have my server message me instead of via Slack.

Yes, it's very frustrating. Japan is basically open. Restaurants, coffee shops, bars, are full and people have their masks of when in them. Shops are open, movie theaters are open, shopping centers are packed. There, people do have masks on. When someone is without a mask it's usually a non-asian foreigner.

The government even has programs trying to encourage people to go out eating and to travel within the country.

Numbers are very low compared to similar populations elsewhere including deaths so we're not killing people here. At least not yet. They are at their highest rate yet but it's still 1/100th of similar populations in the west.

This seems like a false equivalence; most employers don't use surveillance software to ensure their remote employees keep their microphone and webcam on, continue looking at the screen at all times, etc. One of the benefits of working from home is that your privacy is _increased_ compared to working an office; if everyone needed to allow their boss or HR or whoever to demand microphone and webcam access to me as they worked (and no, this is NOT comparable to Zoom meetings), then of course they wouldn't be praising work as much.

I would say the straw man here is the claim that breaking up (arguable) monopolies or writing consumer protection laws is tantamount to authoritarianism. Those are both fairly innocuous actions within a regulated market.

Rights often exist along a zero-sum spectrum; e.g., Google's right to surveil me on every site that uses Google Analytics impedes on my right to use the web privately. Telling people what they can and cannot do is not a hypothetical. It just comes down to where you draw the line.

At that point I usually switch to the App or don't bother. Apps usually have tremendous quality edge over the web counterparts of the same service.

On the more techie communities there's this glorification of web apps but I am yet to see high quality one.

O.K. maybe the desktop versions of Discord/Slack/Twitch/WhatsApp/Youtube/Twitter are fine. Hmm, when you have the screen real estate and the performance to run the bloated web apps all the time, they are actually fine. I guess that's why we have good web bad app on desktop and bad web and good app on mobile.

https://zfs.rent/ is very interesting.

I also recall someone working years ago on a way to push snapshots to S3 or similar, but I never heard if that idea got off the ground (downside is of course the snapshots need to be recovered before they can be mounted, but the dollar cost would be rock bottom).

What would be more interesting is a backup application for Desktop Linux that assumes a ZFS root; all the problems that plague Desktop applications (that seem to keep them in eternal beta or wither away) disappear. It needs to switch on and push snapshots. It needs allow the remote file system to be mounted (to browse the snapshots for selective recovery). It needs a a disaster recovery process to recover an entire system from a remote snapshot.
I don’t think instagram’s link policy has anything to do with dark patterns. Rather it is a distinct design choice for a social network to avoid spam. Another key decision instagram made was preventing shares/retweets, with the intended effect of promoting original content. These two consequential decisions (both made very early on in Instagram history, likely even before the fb acquisition) made original photos the focus. It’s an opinionated app and has succeeded because of it — I don’t believe either decision should be called a dark pattern.

Probably never. ZFS isn't just a filesystem, it was developed to be an entire storage system that's vertically integrated, so ARC is a fundamental part of the filesystem design.

ZFS also has a huge legacy. Right now the license (probably) prevents you from legally shipping a compiled zfs module with the linux kernel, just solving that seems insurmountable. It's also supported on Illumos and FreeBSD, trying to refactor it to use the linux page cache would have a chance of introducing bugs to these platforms.
That's fine. It's still a normal distribution with a different mean. The Gaussian is characterized by having only the first two moments: mean and variance.
Strategically it makes sense. Apple is a hardware company, so making it difficult to run their OS in the cloud means more people need to keep buying their hardware. Microsoft has their own cloud, where they don't have to deal with the license requirements they force on other cloud providers, which gives them a competitive advantage over their competitors (when it comes to windows servers). The key is that these companies don't just sell operating systems. Red Hat on the other hand, which doesn't have competing market pressures, is much more friendly to licensing in a cloud environment.

I agree, kids should be treated fairly and taught to treat others fairly. However, I think it is just as important to teach children resilience in the face of unavoidable adversity. It’s important to feel feelings, but to not let them poison you. Learning to get over a breakup, or an injury come to mind. I’d like to stress unavoidable adversity, in contrast to crimes like discrimination, battery, fraud, etc.

So, my harping on “life isn’t fair” is an indirect and misleading way of saying, “it’s important to be resilient”. I apologize for posting my comment without more context.

I think the idea that regulation is slowing down research is a bit too simplistic to the point of being misleading. It's important to consider how regulation comes about, how that process shapes the regulation, how research gets funded, and so on.

Our modern economic landscape of conglomeration over competition is important. It came about in part because of regulation, but repealing regulation would not undo it and return us to a Renaissance of competitive independent businesses. This strained, rigid, highly interconnected economy has made it so that only the big institutions can afford to take substantial risks, and already being the giant wealth funnels that they are, there's little incentive to take those risks.

The greater the share of the economy made up by giant interconnected businesses with an aligned profit motive, the less risk taking, disruption, and innovation there will be. You shouldn't need to be Elon to be entrepreneurial at the cutting edge, but you do, because you can't compete with Elon. You shouldn't need to have Amazon's resources, but you do. Looser regulations are moot.
