One could always look at the Domain Engineering manuals and the data structures described therein and the rest of the APIs and docs and reimplement it. That’s basically what Comer did with Xinu, Tanenbaum did with Minix, Linus did with Linux, etc., just with Unix—and it’s mostly how Aegis (the original name for Domain/OS) came about too.

It's probably my default "get things done" style of code so I don't want to suggest it's something you want to actively avoid.

Plain objects have the benefit of OO in that you have a bunch of normal friendly objects that map well to a database record. But they tend to be treated more like variables. They work well for groups of functions that need a lot of the same parameters but you don't quite want to lock in an object boundary.

Often I'll start with a plain object or plain functions, then once I can see the seams I'll form objects. Sometimes you can see these up front as obvious, I still try to hold off. The longer you wait the better and more concise your objects will be. You want you objects to look more like behaviors than records. (Though there is heavy cross over, plain objects / structs make good records and you can easily consume them in objects.)

The big pitfalls:

Mutation, avoid it where possible, mutation is a sign you need an object. Immutable structs are bliss to use, they're easy to reason about. Mutable structs are basically impossible to reason about, never know what's in there.

Using an object to pass a single variable to a function.

Using an object to pass a single variable / subset to a sub function call.

Basically, try to terminate plain objects at boundary edges like you would nullable variables. There isn't anything wrong with passing an object around for one variable, its just a bit messy and creates a bigger dependency than required. It makes it hard to refactor your plain object out later because you can't tell what is actually depended on down in the stack.

Amazon makes plenty of money from people using AWS to processes the data.
In this case, you have a personal relationship with a cleaner. What if you hire a cleaning service instead that sends someone different every time. Would you still continue paying to service that you don't receive, even if you know that it's all going to the employees?
Flour is the key component in a roux. The only difference is cooking the flour in some butter to remove the raw flavor. FYI, that combination is called a béchamel sauce.

Gay Levies Sanctions Against Prof. Nowak for Contacts with Jeffrey Epstein

Shame on "Ms. Affirmative Action" at Harvard for "punishing" Martin Nowak with only two years of probation.
Nowak aided and abetted a convicted child rapist by conspiring with fellow accused child molester and Epstein best buddy Alan "Dershbag" Dershowitz to help Mr. Epstein evade prosecution on pending federal racketeering charges in exchange for hundreds of millions of dollars in donations to Harvard from Epstein's estimated $500 million estate, that was laundered in part through other members of Mr. Epstein's billionaire child sex-trafficking ring that included Les Wexner, Leon Black, and Glenn Dubin.

Hopefully there are a few like-minded students at Harvard that will keep the pressure on their university's administration like these brave souls over at MIT are doing:

https://thetech.com/2021/02/25/mit-administration-epstein-op...

As for the punishment that Claudine Gay now deserves, that's a difficult one to decide. But if she has a daughter that is around the same age as any of the girls that Mr. Epstein abused on "Pedophile Isle," and like Alan Dershowitz, she believes that the age of consent should be lowered to 14 so middle-age guys can "partake of the forbidden fruit," as he likes to call it, maybe her daughter needs to be sent over to spend the night ... with Richard Stallman!
That's what you believe he did.

He may have taken a photo of it. Maybe left it out on the table when a friend was over. Maybe wrote a text copy as backup and forgot he ever did that.
Can you see, though, how using rebase to "clean" the historical record—irrespective of your intentions—is in fact deceiving the reader by presenting a narrative that is in fact different to the actual events that took place? If so, please provide a better way to convey this message than how it is currently being stated. If you can't see the deception—motive notwithstanding—then we're at an impasse.

Super-capacity is going to be a major driver for the build-out of water electrolysis for the production of hydrogen. You can turn what will basically be a waste product into a highly useful fuel. I've seen people contend that this will be expensive, but given the very cheap input costs I believe this will be a very cheap process.
Not sure what this tells us, we now have two anecdotes. The plural of anecdote not being data, I think it's dangerous to draw any kind of conclusion from these data points.
I used jsPDF for my ResumeToPDF site and it worked pretty well. Only thing I sort of had pain with was that I had to include SVG icons in-line in the html/javascript and had to convert them to base64 to be included in the PDF. And same thing for the custom fonts - I had to include base64 of the font TTFs to be embedded in the PDF:

> Strangely a lot of the functional programming advocates are fine with closures, which are guilty of all the same issues -- private state, hidden state, combining data with functions.

In functional programming closures (like other functions) only hold immutable data and cannot have side effects, so there is no private/hidden state involved. Code which can mutate state or produce side effects is procedural, not functional.

You don't mean literally distributed denial of service attack, right? It's super easy to keep serving a static resource, so I think you'd need a huge amount of traffic to put a dent in Firebase's static hosting capacity.

I've had spikes of up to 300k visitors to my Firebase blog in a month, and the bill was like $150. It seems hard to get bitten by huge surprise costs from a blog on Firebase static hosting, even if someone's using a botnet to try to drive up your bill.

Edit: Thinking about it a little more, I guess you could find the largest resource on a blog and direct your botnet to download it nonstop repeatedly, and that would be orders of magnitude more expensive than even large organic traffic.
Right, but you also have to consider that repair cost per mile will go up with cumulative mileage. A car with lower mileage will, on average, cost less in repairs, and spend less time in the shop.
Suggest retitling the article as..
The article is based only on the 55% of households in the top 50 US cities by size.
The article wrongly states that rents grew by 175% in excess of household incomes in these cities over this period. But on page 15 of the linked report in the caption to a figure it says that "Median rents increased 93% between 2001 and 2020 while median incomes increased by 58%."
Ie so rents indeed compounded by 1% faster than wages over this period in this subset of US housing. But this is nothing like the implied excess compounding of rents over income of 5% per annum or 175% total.
Did anyone else stop to think about the intuitively tight linkage between incomes and rents and how these could possibly diverge at such a rate implied by the headline?

The adverse affects of white male privilege never stop."

> Uranium quickly runs out if the world is powered by burner reactors and known uranium resources

You could quadruple the present rate of uranium use, representing in a major contribution to mankind's energy use, and have 35 years of supply, just using known reserves and no breeding.

And if you were using that much uranium, more reserves would be quickly proven. Do you think we've found all the uranium we'll ever find, even if market prices go up significantly?

And breeding is possible, and understood. Yes, there's proliferation concerns, but that's not the end of the world.

And seawater extraction is practical without much increase in cost.

No one is saying "no renewables" or "no battery storage" or "no pumped storage". Or "no power to gas to power". We need all of these things. And we need the diversity of having nuclear in the mix, too.
How what works?

I mean, gas definitely doesn't *need to* be involved. At that point you're better off with fission.

For example, the US is connected north to south in 2 electric grids (TX excludes itself, but is huge). Making all three of those grids large enough that the sun definitely isn't obscured for weeks.

Additionally, places like India are talking about building a "world gird" to be the solar power generator for the world.

Compare gasoline prices to the electricity prices in Texas recently, Texas has experienced negative prices in windy periods and prices at the artificial market limit of 11,000 $/MWH, which is the equivalent of $396 / gallon of gasoline. Electricity prices change much faster and the swings are much larger than gasoline.

Electricity is different from gasoline since it can’t be easily stored production and consumption are always perfectly in balance.

Gasoline is a world wide commodity, whereas electricity is consumed relatively close to where it is generated.

Oil and gasoline are global markets, but there are many regional electricity markets with their own sets of regulations which are constantly evolving.

From what I’ve seen The only way people sink money in to building electrical infrastructure is with some long term certainty for prices from some buyer. Maybe it is different once the asset is paid off you can operate in the spot market but I believe financiers prefer the certainty of a fixed contract.

Maybe refineries that are built find a buyer for their product before they build them too?

The HP-Apollo 9000-425e was in fact the last “true” Apollo in that it was the last system released that could run Domain/OS. If you still have the system, you can emulate an Apollo keyboard and mouse now using an Arduino or something, and install Domain/OS to try it out.

It also fully supports X11 on NetBSD now.

I have a few HP 9000-400 systems (425t, 433s, and 425e) and they run current NetBSD beautifully, even operating fully over the network. Only compiling large stuff from pkgsrc goes slowly due to paging over 10Base-T, as these systems max out at 128MB of RAM. (At least I can use a RAM disk on my server as a swap device at wire speed… Did anyone make a 100Base-T or gigabit card for EISA?)
AWS S3 + Cloudfront.
The initial setup can be a little finicky, but once you do get it setup, the rest of the time you only do an S3 sync from your local dir to the S3 bucket.

It will also be stupid fast (cloudfront is edge networks) + have ssl + it will not go down if you ever see a surge in traffic.

I have several of these and they work beautifully. As far as cost goes: 12$/domain per year + 0.5$/month for route53 zone + 0.2$/month for the actual traffic and hosting the content in S3. So it's under 2$/month for "enterprise grade"
That story is so good. I've seen this story referenced on hacker news a couple times lately. It's a very old story. I have it in an original vintage novel actually. It gives me the chills.
From Wikipedia:

Erdős signed his name "Paul Erdos P.G.O.M." When he became 60, he added "L.D.", at 65 "A.D.", at 70 "L.D." (again), and at 75 "C.D."

- P.G.O.M. represented "Poor Great Old Man"

- The first L.D. represented "Living Dead"

- A.D. represented "Archaeological Discovery"

- The second L.D. represented "Legally Dead"

- C.D. represented "Counts Dead"

Absolutely hilarious.
Some of this is part of corporate retirement. If you're old but have nothing to do in retirement, your company may demote you so you still have "something" to do.

But another part of it is that Japan used to have a lot of pedestrian deaths by cars, like far more than US ever had. They remember this and it's why construction sites and parking garages have 5 apparently useless security guards watching everything.
Another experience bin the same vein is if you ask the boss for some help and come review time, they ding you for it.

This especially stings if it comes from a team lead because in my mind, the team lead exists to bounce ideas off of and to iron out issues.

But if you ever see a team lead or manager dinging you for just reaching out to them, switch teams or quit.

If the plan was to create a new collective with a charter that was consistent with the long view of Tesla while protecting and advocating for labor then you’ve got a fair point.

It seemed to me they were just going to join the UAW.

There are two assembly plants within a few miles of where I grew up in the US. Both Japanese car companies, to this day they aren’t union and they are doing fine. There have been a few dustups from the UAW over the years, but they were never successful in flipping the workforce.

I think the threat of unionizing might help keep Tesla more invested in avoiding the type of environment that would foster broad support of organizing within the company.
Right, that's the reason to avoid buying over 100k - 100k seems to be about where the curves converge, so there's no depreciation reduction benefit to buying something with over 100k miles versus something with under 100k miles, whereas if you buy something with under 100k miles you're on the hook for depreciation.
The free plans usually have limits such that they’ll work for individuals but not businesses.

I've heard this line about the Japanese before and I wonder how they got to this point. I recently learned about the Japanese housing bubble associated with their pre-90's collapse, and it seems the conditions before that crash were very much more similar to what the real estate market is like in the US today, with big conglomerates and banks able to buy and hold huge amounts of land.

I think the responses to the crash probably has something to do with it, the Japanese response was very different from the USA's[0]... but I haven't unpacked this fully enough to have a final analysis.
