>> We badly needed the highway and transit improvements, too

There is much debate about this, particularly in regards to the Sea to Sky highway improvements. The old highway wasn't great, it was rough in spots, but the improvements have had unwanted effects. Making the highway easier means more people are doing day trip to whistler from Vancouver. Rather than stay in whistler people are staying at cheaper hotels in Vancouver. That means less local revenue and increased highway traffic. And no effort was made to improve non-car traffic along the route. No rail improvements. No bus lanes. Nothing much other than making the existing 2/4-lane road straighter and faster.
> That's not 1.5GWh energy stored, it's 1.5GW output from storage systems

So how much is actually stored? 1.5GW for 10 minutes? 15 minutes? Watts isn't a unit of storage, watts per a unit of time is a unit of storage.
With respect to Canada, yes. (And the fact that the US and Britain were able to basically say, let bygones be bygones, became hugely important over time.) Although the US promptly ignored the parts of the treaty dealing with indigenous peoples, not that Britain really cared.

I suppose you're right that PID filtering is both prone to problems and not actually available as a feature. On the other hand, Windows is able to offer per-process filtering via it's local firewall - not quite via PIDs but instead by specifying the filesystem path to the process binary. So, it must be possible to implement in some way for non-Windows.
Why is your perspective more correct that the perspective of the person who doesn't want to die? I think we all know that people are of various natures and think in a myriad number of ways and refuse to accept that mostly so that society remains stable.

But I feel that assuming this perspective is better than the other one (about not wanting to die) in this respect (for this particular thing about wanting to live or die on one's deathbed) is just a way of rationalizing death rather than accepting that people just have different natures.
Not any time soon AFAIK. TS aims to be syntactically identical (minus the type system obviously) to JS, so no new constructs.

It’s not clear it’d be worthwhile, anyway - TS doesn’t support algebraic data types directly, which is the big use-case for pattern matching; and the type system is smart enough, with some careful massaging, to do exhaustiveness-checking when using ifs or switches and the standard pattern for simulating them.
Thats quite a stretch of what handles means. While it supports integrating such use cases but you still have to do the gcc -M dance with https://ninja-build.org/manual.html#ref_headers.

As opposed to say cmake, bazel or other higher level abstractions where you just ask it to take all c-files in this directory and solve the rest.

I left my job when I was in my late 20's to make a year-long round-the-world trip. Leading up to it, I was up for a promotion at work and my managers and colleagues were very skeptical about my decision to leave at such a time. I'm so glad I stuck my guns. It was easily one of the best decisions I ever made.

My partner, who I had recently started dating at the time, was unhappy with her job and also decided to take the leap. In 2011, we spent 313 days traveling around the world together. Ten years later, we're still together!

As for trip logistics, very little was planned in advance. We both gave up our apartments and put our belongings in storage with friends and family. We started the trip with one-way tickets from the USA to Asuncion, Paraguay. Not a common first destination on a RTW trip, but we had used miles and the cost was the same price to go to a relatively obscure place rather than a more common one. Paraguay is a fun one if you are vegan/vegetarian, but that's another story.

Prior to the trip I had stockpiled a decent amount of frequent flyer miles. The late 2000's were crazy with respect to mile program promotions, but that's a whole different story! Those miles helped offset most of the long-haul travel costs but on the ground we preferred to travel as cheaply as possible with buses, trains, etc. The main thing the miles enabled was access more remote and uncommon destinations. As an example, one of our travel days took us from Mongolia to Palau. I don't think that's a common origin-destination pair.

I will second what others have posted here about moving slow. The places we have the fondest memories of are the ones where we spent the most time. This cuts both ways though. When you are traveling/living this lifestyle it can take some effort to find that magical mix of affordable housing, good food, and interesting activities. When all those factors align, it's easy to "get stuck" and then later have to cut things from the larger itinerary. Burn out from being on the road is another real factor. We felt it strongly at about the 6 month mark, which, conveniently was timing with a detour back home for my brother's wedding. After that we were eager to get back on the road.

Regarding costs, we found the trip to be quite affordable. Our burn rate over the year averaged out to 1000 USD per month per person, however, we had intentionally avoided the more expensive parts of the world (e.g., Europe, OZ/NZ, etc.). Aside from a few splurges, we chose to stay in budget hotels/guesthouses wherever possible. We had also offset much of our long-haul travel costs with airline points/miles.

I would love to take a trip like this again and I'm glad I didn't save this experience for retirement. I can't speak highly enough of doing something like this if you have the means.

If anyone is interested in more details about the trip, I kept a blog here:

I kinda doubt it. Youtube's "moat" against competition is the fact that storing, processing, and serving video is insanely expensive. Google can only afford to do it to begin with because they are the world's largest digital advertising company.

My personal experience with a similar rule from Kongregate: I had to file a W-8(BEN?) [1] where I can specify the double-texation traty between my country and the US. I filed everything (with some, but not much support from kongregate) via kongregate itself. It took a bit time to look up the treaty (found on the us irs website [2]), but it wasn't too bad all in all. So no double taxation.

I would have expected for youtube to work the same.

I must respect your karma, but I'd wager you'd find something you're not expecting if you addressed the social anxiety, addiction, and chatty mind you allude to here (I understand you will probably object to these characterizations).

Some people take the state of their mind as a given and structure their life around that. Others learn that you can change your mind.

My experience is that the latter leads to profound riches. But then, I failed at the former.
> There are qualitative differences in response between people with and without ADHD, that manifest across the board, not just on few school metrics - and a psychiatrist will be able to see them.

I was under the impression that this "it works differently on people with ADHD" thing was essentially a pleasant myth. If you've got solid citations that stimulants do somehow work differently on people with ADHD I'd be interested in reading them. My understanding was that the effect is broadly similar, with the only meaningful distinction being that ADHD-diagnosed individuals have been judged as needing those effects, and others have not.

>Is it more accurate to say US sourced net income? It's amazing how massive companies can put their HQ in a tax haven and avoid US taxes completely while small creators are going to have withholdings from their revenue.

that's because corporations get taxed on profit, and individuals get taxed on income. profits can be rerouted to more tax-favorable jurisdictions, but it's much harder to pull off with personal income.

>It's a terrible deal for Canadians who will be paying US taxes without living in the US. Will they be eligible for US social programs, etc.? Why should the first 15% (IIRC) of income taxes from YouTubers go to the US? That's BS.

In the case of canada (and other countries with a tax treaty with the US), this is a non-issue because you either pay 0% withholding or can deduct the tax from your country's tax return (presumably the tax treaty also contains provisions for your country to net out the difference with the US).
So you are saying they might be even better than DO depinding on requirements.

Define "cancel". I've given mine several times in this discussion: "rich, powerful, or famous people facing unwanted negative consequences of actions or expressions that liberals disagree with".

Obviously I don't agree there's no such thing. What I disagree with is that we should avoid "cancel", because the active definition is little different than "liberal complaints shouldn't affect anything."

Classical liberalism (quoting John Stuart Mill) says:

"""We have a right, also, in various ways, to act upon our unfavourable opinion of any one, not to the oppression of his individuality, but in the exercise of ours. We are not bound, for example, to seek his society; we have a right to avoid it (though not to parade the avoidance), for we have a right to choose the society most acceptable to us. We have a right, and it may be our duty, to caution others against him, if we think his example or conversation likely to have a pernicious effect on those with whom he associates. We may give others a preference over him in optional good offices, except those which tend to his improvement. In these various modes a person may suffer very severe penalties at the hands of others, for faults which directly concern only himself; but he suffers these penalties only in so far as they are the natural, and, as it were, the spontaneous consequences of the faults themselves, not because they are purposely inflicted on him for the sake of punishment. """

so of course there's no appeal to classical liberalism because "unfavourable opinion" and "deviance" are closely connected.

The "more current event" discussed here is that Seuss was neither "banned" nor "canceled".

To specifically answer your question, I don't think anyone's advocating for users to be provided with parts and schematics to repair a faulty L1 cache on a CPU, or for the CPU to be designed to support that kind of repair.

Most "repairs" come in the form of replacing a component. Many products can be divided into components and those components can recursively be broken down into smaller components. At some point, though, a component cannot reasonably be further divided for the purpose of repair and peterlk appears to imply that a CPU is an example of such a component. Indeed, repairing a faulty L1 cache would probably require so much investment that even the manufacturer itself would not be able to justify such a repair.

> My point is that at some point, things start to get blurry, and it is in the manufacturers best interest to continue blurring these lines.

peterlk goes on to point out that manufacturers often use this fact to their advantage by convincing people that it's not practical to componetize bigger, more expensive parts for the sake of repair, such as the main board assembly on a laptop. In reality, component-level board repair is a practical solution for many repair scenarios, provided you can source the necessary components and schematics.

We lack objective criteria to determine what parts can reasonably be made "repairable" via componetization and manufacturers abuse that to confuse people. I myself thought component-level board repair was a dead end until I stumbled upon Rossmann's channel. I think both you and peterlk are getting to the same point: we need that criteria if we're going to reach the full potential of the right-to-repair movement.
It would still be possible as long as all the necessary information is available at compile time.

If it didn't you'd still need to pass through 10,000 ly of space and if you were going at slower than the speed of light it would still appear in your frame of reference to be > 10,000 years. But contraction removes that limit and shortens the distance.
The better analogy here is that if a German band plays a concert in the UK, they still need to pay UK taxes on their ticket sales. Even if the band is incorporated in Germany, the portion of the tour that occurred in the UK is still subject to UK taxes.

Additionally, most European countries permit duty-free sales to foreign citizens in normal stores under the right conditions (often via requiring a passport to be shown at purchase, and via refunding the taxes at airport when leaving the country). This arrangement works because, it's generally required that travelers pay customs on arrival to their home countries on goods purchased abroad anyway. That being said, I've just learnt that the UK has killed their duty-free sales system as of 2021 [1], which is just stupid.

Not sure about how many, but it can be as small as one or as big as 5 and up. I can build complicated software, websites, and I am well acquainted with design conepts. Find a co-founder who can fill in my weaknesses is perhaps what I'm looking for. And more importantly, we need have the same vision and passion for the startup. That is difficult because its hard to convince someone that your idea is worth the commitment. So my question is, how do people usually find that right co-founder/co-founders who can believe in your vision?

What’s interesting to me beyond the invention itself is all the technology that was developed around it. For example my friend’s Dad had a Nakamichi cassette player that would physically flip the cassette to play the other side. And on the other end of course using a pencil to advance the tape or wind up slack if it accidentally got caught in the player.
That is also the risk with computers and cars, there might be "a lot" of people that would like DRM cars and computers but there are a lot more lots of people that would like to repair the car then buy a new one each year, or even the rich guys that buy a new car yearly they would like to be able to sell the old car and you can't sell an old car if it does not run because it needs a new memory stick in the main computer and the main computer costs 50% of the car.
This is a really neat demo, but there's a few limitations that are glaring issues for a chat server or most scenarios I can think of that I would want to use websockets. As many have mentioned, the 250 connection limit per instance is crazy. You can get 200x that many easily on a single 1 VCPU box.

The second problem is that really the demo has just kicked your scaling problem over to redis. The demo isn't doing anything actually interesting, redis is doing all the work. The reality is that one of the best parts of Cloud Run over something like serverless functions is that you can have state in your server. You don't need redis at all if you are doing the same demo in Kubernetes without Cloud Run, since it's pretty easy to use channels in golang to do the same thing. However, in order for you to really make that work, you need some way to at the very least route the traffic consistently so that people watching the same resource get routed to the same server, or to be able to have cross node communication.

So this is a great start, but a little work to go before many people would be able to switch over to something like this due.

> And next year there will be a new awesome ORM/query-language that you're expected to learn all the pitfalls of.

This may be true in some lines of work, but as a Rails developer I find it amusing. I've been happily using ActiveRecord for over a decade. I get that chasing the new shiny can be fun and look good on the resume, but the ORM shouldn't be a fad you chase that you need to swap out every couple of years.

You're not wrong that sometimes the ORM gets in the way and slows you down. There are certainly times I've been frustrated by having to figure out the right incantations to satisfy the APIs of ActiveRecord or Arel. However, this tradeoff is well worth it, because these tools protect us from so many footguns present with raw query string manipulation.
