it looks better because (1) we (in the US) borrowed $6T+ against the future and injected that into the present, with inflation stayed only because the dollar is the international currency (for now) and (2) capital has nowhere to go but into (existing) equities, financial maneuvers, and real estate. it's hard to erode/inflate away more than $6T, even for an economy as misallocated as ours when you have those two features going for you.

i don't think it will be stable long term, but it's been a slow boiling of us largely oblivious amphibians. the froth of unrest we've seen here and there in the last decade is pockets of us frogs realizing something is wrong, but we haven't reached that 25% awareness/action threshold to unlodge us toward a new equilibrium.

I agree with you though. I want all of the things you listed. In particular, I want something that can dust (clean all the dust from my shelves, tables, books, etc..). I wonder if it could be done with small drones that can fly into the shelves with tiny dusters.

I want my walls and ceiling to be displays like from Total Recall for cheap (say under $500 per wall)

I want sound proofing between apartments, also cheap so there's no excuse for an apartment not to have it.

> Sorry if I'm missing anything but how does this support your original comment? The benefit of starting the execution sooner is the same as the benefit of starting the image rendering sooner.

Because it’s not the same benefit. Executing the JS is more expensive than rendering the image. That’s just starting at square one. To the extent executable code can be delivered faster, it also opens possibilities of using those gains to support newer codecs with much smaller image sizes and reduce time on the wire even further; this generally leads to WASM, but the idea is the same.

> Maybe what you were trying to say was that scripts are more important than images for a web app (which I would agree).

Nope. I’m saying that JS execution has a bigger impact on websites feeling slow than large images rendering. It’s probably more noticeable on content driven sites because they’re expected to load faster (and more likely to paint but have a long janky interactivity gap).

> If "script execution is much more expensive than image rendering" it makes compression even less relevant for scripts. If it takes 2s to execute a script the 0.1s gain on the wire is negligible.

I honestly can’t even follow your logic. It’s not just “expensive” in the abstract, it’s the largest contributor to pages feeling slow for users. Shaving 5% (which is an arbitrary measure, and far less likely to be true on slower connections) off that might mean the difference between whether they even see your page, or its gargantuan images loading in, at all.
Like someone else said, distributing work across multiple machines is a form of horizontal scaling.
A property's value doubling isn't a one-off event, it'd be widespread and continuous. That cheaper place's value will rise proportionally, and now they've the same problem, except with an overall lower quality of life now that they're living in a worse property.
On the second day of ownership of the first MBP w/out MagSafe my father in-law tripped on the cable and it yanked the new MBP off the table and the force of the MBP bent the USB-C plug something nasty.

The only way I’ll ever forgive Apple is if one of their C-suite exec personally calls me and tells me why on earth they did this.

And we all know why... because MagSafe wasn’t Ive’s idea and since people loved it, he hated it.
You're not wrong, but as somebody who buys cars used and hangs on to them for a while, I'm sitting out going electric for at least another 5 years in the hope that things shake out somewhat on the charging side.

That, and for all of the reasons the USPS is sitting this out. The TCO has some pretty big unknowns over a multi-decade timescale at this point. I do a lot of my own work on my cars, and long-term parts availability is a real struggle at times.
Not entirely the right person to answer this question, but we went with a .Net solution using SQL Server and React. We decided on the website first that would work OK on mobile devices. Faster and less cost to get into the market.

No affiliation with Avatar, but it's my favorite one to play.) There are some open-source MUD libraries written in C, C++, and other languages that might be a good reference.

What do you think is more elegant in Java than C#? I like both but I think things like LINQ, delegates, reflection, nullabity and even properties are much cleaner in C# vs streams (exceptions?), consumer<T> (weird names. accept? not invoke?), erasure and then just in general its not as nice, Optional<T> (its nullable?!), and getters/setters (I don't want to code gen this away).
Thank you for your thoughts/comments. We agree and are moving in the direction you indicated.
Trunk based development is definitely the ideal, and the mode of operation forced on users of Gerrit/Repo, which tries to implement much of Google's internal monorepo workflow with multiple external standalone repos.

The main point is the "better tooling than average" section near the end - you need tools that can understand relationships between different parts of the codebases, and test appropriately, which is where the integration process for monorepos starts to fall apart.

> Reading public info should not even be listed! It's already obvious that all your public info can be read by the app. That's the definition of public! There's no reason to tell me it might read it. It doesn't need permission to do so.

This is the permission you grant apps using GitHub for SSO, that allows GitHub to know what account you're logged in as. The information itself is public (anyone could scrape it from your public GitHub profile); but the fact that you are logged into that account is not public.

If any website could ask GitHub "is the current user logged into GitHub right now, and if so, as what account", without the user's consent, then that'd be considered a CSRF fingerprinting/permacookie vulnerability in GitHub.

I'd give that honor to Rick Sanchez
I'm not fully convinced he is a "bad guy" with your quotes. Don't get me wrong, I'm a consumer, and I don't want sky high rates, but hear me out.

He was on a call with a bunch of investors. He wants those investors to be reassured everything is OK. He might tell them the truth. He might lie. At face value, it looks like there was a contractual agreement: gas costs X, you will get paid X. And nothing can change that.

Except something CAN change that contract. Bankruptcy courts are empowered to retroactively change contracts (IANAL!)- AND some groups (like Brazos Electric) are suing ERCOT to reduce the cost.

So ERCOT might be in a tough spot: they pay investors lots of money, and they don't get paid lots of money from consumers like Brazos Electric.

D'Andre might be setting ERCOT to be tossed around by the court or perhaps to become insolvent.

Yeah, I have, every year it's a problem because I live in a neighborhood where sump pumps dump onto the road, so ice dams forming and coating the entire road in smooth ice is common.

Modern extreme winter tires are designed for traction on ice. They are impregnated with this gritty stuff (made of walnuts shells, I think) which grips on ice. The grip is not great, but I can reliably get a RWD sports car up a modest grade in them.

Note that I'm not talking about the Mud and Snow tires that come on most vehicles. These have an indicator that is a snowflake in a mountain and usually can't be used above 60 degrees.

An ascending price auction is strategically different from a second price auction when the bidders each have a noisy estimate of some underlying true value. With a second price auction, the only information you can incorporate into your bid is your own signal. With an ascending price auction, you can look at the prices at which the other bidders drop out (except the second highest bidder) and incorporate that information into the price at which you're willing to drop out. This also means that an ascending price auction raises more revenue than a second price auction, by the linkage principle.

That's an important point, and didn't mean to make the problem of distributed actors appear trivial. In my mind, all the more reason to consider the distributed case when baking in actors into your language. For example, what distributed primitives would the language support vs leave modular for libraries?

>I've many times seen Erlang code where the developers didn't make this distinction - because the message passing operation looks the same, remote or not - and as a result the system is not resilient to network failures.

It's not about the message passing operation looking the same. The developers erroneously assumed that message delivery was guaranteed. The core issue here is not unique to actor systems.

Erlang/Elixir and Akka do not guarantee message delivery (even for a local case) from what I understand; guaranteed message delivery may mean different things in different contexts (like message queued in mailbox vs message is received from mailbox). In my opinion, developers should always program defensively when writing networked applications using something like the circuit-break pattern or making operations idempotent as you mentioned. When using actor systems, developers should not assume guaranteed message delivery unless the tool allows them to.

I'm not familiar with other actor systems so I can't speak on their guarantees, but Erlang has outlined the reasoning why messages shouldn't be considered to be guaranteed here [1].

[1] If I send a message, is it guaranteed to reach the receiver?: https://erlang.org/faq/academic.html#idp32844816
Disagree as YA is a fairly narrow collection of genres and its writers can succeed by relying on too many tropes.

Young adults would be better served by ignoring YA in favor of the wider book world, and books written before the YA genres existed.

As an aside, you’ll find a toxic adherence to supporting the YA genre in the Twitter communities mentioned in the article, most loudly by people who want to be big fish in a small pond, but also have that small pond be seen as large and prestigious. ;)

> I think you underestimate how much people already adapt their dialect in function of the context. Most people speak a different dialect (or in many cases, different language) at home, or back home, than whatever the norm happens to be.

I understand this, but you have a point that I didn't really communicate it. I don't take issue with local accents and dialects when intelligibility is reasonably presumed not to be an issue. Hence my chosen example of the writer thinking that primarily using a local accent on TV is ethically beneficial, for the intended audience of TV.

> That people still take the effort to go beyond this step and effectively remove all local traces from their accent can only be understood in the framework of social pressures. Because people tend to make all kind of assumptions about you based on your accent, it makes perfect sense if you want to get rid of it. But for intelligibility, you can stop way short of this goal.

I agree with this. I think you also have a point regarding my criticism of the example, that Colbert for instance ethically shouldn't need to extinguish all traces of his accent on TV: just to the extent that it doesn't cause intelligibility problems to a weak English speaker (if it does in the first place).

You can find instructions how to create Ubuntu Jails inside FreeBSD.

There was an experimental Docker port for FreeBSD some years ago and it was actually working. I think it is mentioned here https://wiki.freebsd.org/Docker. However, it wasn't extremely useful as it didn't reach maturity, and because FreeBSD already had Jails. Which we were already using in production for the past ~15 years.

With all due respect to Wikipedia for what it is, I believe their success is partly because of the 'altruistic' nature of their model. Sure, they should seek donations from huge companies like Google - which make tons of money off of their data - for the services they provide, but I feel like locking down the 'better' api to the public is not the way to go about it. It's just too often that a commercial offering just disincentives bettering the 'free' product.

Wikipedia as the product of a public good foundation should be just that; by the public, for the public, and accessible to the public (including all access methods and API's).
This isn't a realistic way to project consumption, though. A single adult living alone has more expenses per person than a family of four under one roof. An elderly couple will not get by on $24k. (And half of people are not under 18, 21, or 25 as you may prefer to define childhood.)
I mean, Wireguard in these cases is a piece of code _in the kernel_, is meant to be directly in the path of a packet coming from an untrusted network and potentially does cryptography/ security critical stuff. Besides maybe memory management and such things, with what other pieces of code do you care more about quality and security than basically a VPN? People and companies that don't even know what Wireguard or a VPN for that matter is directly or indirectly depend on this and similar code being nearly perfect sometimes with their reputations or even lives. I mean, it is not a game that is taking too long to load or something, which is quite upsetting but I cannot imagine how that would be critical. The security of a kernel or a VPN is a very different story and we should all stop pretending this isn't the case. I hope (and am quite convinced) Jason and others want only the best for the respective kernels and the Wireguard implementation from the standpoint of quality and security.
