That would be in the US, with it's shit managment and governance culture of no expertise being required. The Wwiss are explicitly rejecting such willy-nilly privatization; did you read the article?

> There's no reason to believe the gov. will make a more robust, scalable and secure solution that other entities.

Again this is US ideology about US government. In another places they have something closer to actual democracy, a robust civil service, and an awareness that some things are too important to risk the profit motive sliding to rent-seeking.

> A better approach might even be...

I actually agree with you here. The next step after centrally planning how electronic identity should work is to realize many things don't need to require an "official one true personhood" surrogate key, and can make due with something weaker and more friendly to anonymity. The same functioning society that can figure out devolved cantons and federated cooperatives would be excellently prepared to figure that out.

Now, whether that's actually enough to convince the administrators to keep it up and risk the time and expense of a lawsuit is another matter entirely - in practice, anything that rightsholders threaten to sue over is probably banned, regardless of the actual legal status.
Excited to share this; we've been working on this for awhile now. I'm happiest about how the developer UI turned out -- you just add k8s annotations to your existing service, and we pick it up. So really the Service Catalog is a visualization of your data. I never really liked systems that lock you into "their" way of doing things, but since we only support Kubernetes, we just try to be as idiomatic as possible.

I think it depends on many things, such as whether people at your university are generally collaborative, and whether your advisor or you are well connected. Most of my time is spent on tools or fundamental research, since that's my primary interest; but sometimes people will reach out to me (or vice versa) about starting a collaboration. But even just exchanging notes and chatting with researchers in other disciplines has been fun.

But that is just my experience. Some of my labmates had PhD's in which the majority of their work was collaborative, across disciplines.

Genservers are an abstraction encapsulating the typical request/response lifecycle of what we would consider a "server", but applied to a BEAM-specific process. Like "general server".

Oban allows for job processing, instrumented much like you would any other process in the BEAM. This is an external library while genserver is built in.

I don’t pay a dime for for the property. I don’t pay taxes, I don’t pay for maintenance, I didn’t pay for the cost of building the property, I don’t even pay interest for the loan. I just applied for the loan and my tenants pay for the rest.

Land is made more scarce then it actually is. We all live on land so there is plenty to go around. The artificially induced scarcity comes from the fact that people live on land they don’t own. For this to happen it means Certain people own more land then they need. The extra land is not owned for personal utility, it is bought so that another person has no choice but to pay you money to use the land.

Everyone would jump into the market if they could. The reason why they don’t is because you need to front a lot of money to buy property. So if a house costs a million I can just buy the house and rent it out. I didn’t lose the million because I can always resell the house and I gained rental income on top of that. What prevents people from executing this strategy is that they don’t have 1 million dollars. For a loan, barrier to entry is lowered to the down payment.

It’s not a necessary evil. The most successful economies today involve a combination of capitalism and socialism. An aspect of the economy, like property can be enforced to be made fair. It’s never been tried but in no way would I call it a necessary evil. Either way I benefit from this evil so I’m against it.

You don’t understand because your reasoning is off. Owners of capital are protected from inflation because most owners of capital don’t own cash. Inflation is a phenomenon related to cash lowering in value. Owning assets that are not cash tends to make inflation not apply. Poor people tend to own cash and rich people tend to own assets, hence during inflation poor people tend to lose. Poor people continue working hard while their salaries stay the same and get inflated. The work that they do improves the worth of the company they work for. Who owns that company? The owners of capital. In short the owners of companies pay people less for productive labor.

Then a feedback loop occurs where laborers can no longer purchase as much from a company and the companies begin to lose as well. Overall the feedback loop hits companies later. Inflation hits the workers first during inflation.

But this is besides the point. My point is capital grows faster then productive labor. The main reason why this happens is because capital represents the output of productive labor in aggregate. This output in wealth allows owners of capital to easily climb over barriers for entry and purchase more capital. It’s like playing Texas Holdem, the more chips you have the more power you have.

I read your example, transfer of knowledge is a separate issue. The shock to immediately changing a system also can have bad side effects. I’m not suggesting that the current status quo should be fixed either, nor am I suggesting there is a easy solution. I am saying that in the status quo I benefit from money gifted to me by my tenants while contributing nothing to the economy.
Couldn't you write a script to manually go through the pages and click the 'unsubscribe' button? It might be less time/effort on the author's part then attempting to negotiate with a multi-national conglomerate who will take minimum 1 quarter to ship a 'Unsubscribe All' button.

There's a long tail in many products where non-happy-path flows are undoubtedly terrible. But if product teams prioritized addressing that long tail, what would happen to the delayed mainstream features? How would the userbase, in aggregate, feel about such a prioritization? It's disappointing when they say to expect no reply, but it seems like both a practical and efficient outcome. They're an autonomous organization and you can't step in and say "put this at the top of the backlog".

All aspects of life in the US seem to be increasingly money focused, driven, or dictated by. It's not just tech but wherever there is more money to be had, there is more focus on money.

At some point, I wonder if our social and economic system becomes a close enough proxy to darwinistic survival of the fittest through capital ownership that a large enough portion of the population realize they would do better outside this construct rather than inside our societies and will begin to reject the system at large.

Right now we are able to provide stable food, housing, and ERs can't refuse people for medical care but stable housing is in the downturn and Healthcare costs that lead to bankruptcy conditions are on the rise. I feel like we're really testing how low many will go before they reject the system at hand and at what point is that number of people large enough to be critical to the existing system's stability.

At some point the effort for comfortable success may become so high people just abandon it entirely.

Yes, those applications are awesome. I just think they don't hold a candle to (sorry for the pun) fire, or electricity. But maybe that's not a useful comparison, since very few people likely think (today's) AI to be _that_ revolutionary.

This is akin to getting mad at the McDonalds cashier for informing you of some corporate McDonald policy.

Anger directed at the customer support, who generally doesn't have the authority to make changes (especially at the scale desired), is misplaced and doesn't help anyone.

The whole situation is frustrating, but lashing out at some random customer support agent that happened to get your ticket makes me hope, in a similarly petty way, that they don't resolve this issue until you manually unsubscribe from all the notifications.

Offering feedback on running form has been one of the biggest requests that we've gotten, as well as training schedules catered to your specific needs.

All of our daily classes follow a week-long progression to make sure that you are getting in a proper training cycle and avoiding overtraining. An example is if you were to join the 6AM classes each day during the week, you might have speed drills on Monday followed by a base run Tuesday, followed by a light interval run on Wednesday for recovery, etc...

Fun Fact! Olympian Jeff Galloway is starting speed work in Charge the week of March 14th. He will be taking over some of our track attack classes for speed work.

To address running form, we recently launched private coaching, where runners can work directly with one of our certified coaches to develop a specific training program catered to their current experience level and training goals. This includes an in-depth running form analysis video where we receive a video of them running, and provide a video back thats broken down piece-by-piece to give direct feedback on how to improve running form for injury prevention and overall efficiency.

esbuild can be a good alternative to Webpack in some cases, but Webpack solves a lot of edge cases well. For example, just today I debugged an issue where a library had used `require` in an ES module instead of `import`, and that broke the build with esbuild. So I had to fork the library to fix that issue. Webpack handles that case without problems.

I can think of at least a few cases like that where Webpack works better, but esbuild is (hopefully) going to catch up. It'd be ideal if Webpack and other bundler tools ditched their homegrown build tools and replaced them with esbuild.
The answer is simple: The US is the Global Hegemon of our times, and furthermore, it is a formal guarantor of Taiwan's security (this is similar in many ways to its allies in NATO). Economically, Taiwan and the US have deep ties: it would make sense for the US to come to Taiwan's aid for this reason alone. Whether the ally is across the Pacific or elsewhere scarcely matters to the US, because it has power projection capability that spans the entire planet. That is doubly so when you consider that it is allied with almost all the major developed countries and almost every single one of China's neighbors (Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and to a lesser extent Vietnam and India).

If China were the hegemon in the 1800s, then of course it would have intervened in the Civil War. Take France, which was a World Power (and traditional rival of Great Britain) during the War for Independence. It did provide support to the US, and was their primary ally.

This gets repeated a lot but unfortunately isn't true.

See the spec: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339

NOTE: ISO 8601 defines date and time separated by "T".
Applications using this syntax may choose, for the sake of
readability, to specify a full-date and full-time separated by
(say) a space character.

Someday someone reading this is going to set out to make a new, small specification out of a huge specification. Reader, when you start to feel the temptation to make just the tiniest improvement-- resist! It's way more useful if it's actually a true subset.

Happily this particular issue is be easily fixed. Let's make a new spec, subsetting both ISO 8601 and RFC 3339.

I hereby introduce... RFC 3339T, which is exactly like RFC 3339, but you have to use a T instead of a space.

EDIT: joshuaissac spotted another difference.

Also I made a repo so we're official: https://github.com/seagreen/rfc-3339T

We have Roblox (kids age 5 and 8). From the start I made a hard "no Robux" rule, which has worked out well so far. This has had a very nice and totally unintended side effect: the kids self select against games that are only fun if you pay.

Eg my youngest likes the clicking simulators. Many of those are awful "pay to win" schemes but some actually have fun game dynamics (not unlike the Paperclip Simulator html game that's an HN favorite[0]). Those are the ones he returns to.

These are the games that are more creative in nature, the games that are more challenging and so on and so forth. I feel that at least 7 out of 10 times I check on them, they're doing a game that involves creation, economics, collaboration, and often multiple of those.

sorry! so I'll clarify

Elixir inherits a library called OTP from erlang which is a set of primitives for building massively concurrent systems.

A Genserver is sort of like a Base Class for a object that runs as an independant process that plugs into OTP. By inheriting/implementing the Genserver behavior, you create an independant process that can be mounted in an OTP supervision tree which runs at the top of your application and monitors everything below it. Out of the box, that means your process can be sent messages by other processes and can send messages itself. If a crash happens, the supervisor will kill it, resurrect it and redirect messages to the new process.

Creating a Genserver is as easy as adding an annotation and implementing a few callbacks.

Genservers are the base on which a lot of other systems build on. Oban, a job worker essentially builds on Genserver to use a postgres table as a job processor. Since its just a Genserver with some added behavior, adding a background worker is as simple as adding a file that inherits from Oban and specifying how many workers for it should be allocated in a config file. The result is that adding a background worker is about as much work for me as adding a controller. No additional work for devops either.

And yes, it is very sci fi. Honestly I'm shocked elixir isn't more widespread. there's very little hype behind it but the engineering is pretty solid. Every scaling bottleneck we've had so far has been in the database (only because we particularly make heavy use of stored procedures)
Honestly as a human being I think you also have to be careful what you're optimizing for. This is a nice framework if you're thinking about survival and to some degree career, but as human beings we also have a very complex psychology and those problems are mostly "solved" to some degree for many of us. Money and careers are obviously important to some extent, especially if you're struggling to pay rent or eat, but beyond that if this is the only framework guiding your life, you could easily make a bunch of money and still end up miserable. Treating ourselves as economic units maximizing utility I suspect is a big part of what has exacerbated societal ills like alienation and depression.
