> Where did you get the information from that CDNs arent as good as they used to be?

The other comment addressed this, but to be clear. One of the common usage of external CDN resources is predicated on a performance benefit: if multiple sites use the same resource, it’s more likely to be cached already and much less likely to be impaired by the drawbacks (DNS hit, external network factors). But since browsers have shipped cache partitioning for very good privacy reasons (as other comment mentions, caches are prefixed by the requesting origin), you get no cache benefit and all of the detriment of a clear cache.

Essentially the only reason to use a CDN for third party resources now is if you can bet the CDN will perform better than your local, already DNS-resolved host.
The jump from what you mentioned in paragraph 2 to 3 is not necessarily Terraform. You can use other tools, like Ansible, that IMO have a much better framework than Terraform. I use Terraform for extremely simple stuff that is easy to destroy/recreate. Projects of bigger scale IMO are better served with Ansible and friends.
I would think at a minimum that the government would have to accept shares if the taxpayer elected that.

You can't (IMO) reasonably ask someone to pay a cash tax based on a notional value for a transaction that never happened as that notional value will not account for the inevitable execution slippage that will happen if the shares are actually sold later. Let the government eat that slippage.

I'm aware of my problems but feel stuck
So im a 27 yr old guy and lately i have been doing some self reflection to understand who i am and the issues that cause me to have so much disappointment and doubt in myself. I didn't have the best up bringing but deffinately not the worst. Love and communication were absent in my family house hold. I knew my mother and father loved me in the only way they understood being from broken home with no or limited examples of love also. Im constantly disappointing myself between my impulsive actions and lack of motivation or tools to confront my issues that have me feeling lost or trapped. I'm not blaming anyone for my issues or past actions.. I hate i didn't have a better chance but i see people all the time with similar or worse situations and watch them succeed in life in ways i envy. I just feel weak/lost/incapable because i haven't figured it out quite like the others. All i have done is survive while others became fighters and grew in life. I know i should probably seek professional help but i more in less wanted to hear others experience and the tools they've developed to become a strong adult with the tools to succeed and truly tackle the problems and and actually move forward.

Especially initial deploys that rollback and you have to delete the stack to try to deploy again. Waste of time.

On the whole terraform is much faster too.
> > there could well be a dozen different languages available that improve greatly on Rust

> As mentioned above, I doubt that this is true within a year, but beyond that, any new language is also going to have all of these same growing pains, but be a decade behind. When they're ready, they should be considered, but "don't do a good thing now because maybe, some unknown amazing thing might appear" isn't usually a good way to make decisions.

This is true, but Linux is a long-term project, we don't know what the future will bring, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't still a mainstream kernel in 20 or even 40 years.

It seems to me it would be wise to look at the future as well, and perhaps things are the wrong way around; rather than asking "what existing languages could work for the kernel?" the question should be "what would the ideal language for the kernel look like?"

It always seemed to me that Rust is a bit of a strange choice for the Linux kernel; I can see why it has some appeal, but it's also a fairly large and complicated language.

How "complex" or "minimal" a language should be is an old debate that we've all done at least a few times, so don't want to repeat it here; for my part, I feel comfterable with both approaches; I'm just as happy programming in Ruby as in Go for example (even though they're polar opposites in many ways), but both approaches come with their own set of advantages and downsides.

I'm not so sure that a large and complex language is really the best fit for this particular purpose. For example writing a C compiler for a new architecture is comparatively easy whereas porting Rust to something new will be much harder.

Given Linux's long-term prospects it might be wise to invest in an "ideal" language rather than a "it'll work" language.

Then again, I don't work on Linux so what do I know :-)
I'm curious what you mean by "iterating variables have to be predeclared". In my experience mypy's type inference works with bog standard python constructs like a for loop that appends into a list that gets declared before the loop, aka:

output = []
for x in range(1):
output.append(x)

reveal_type(output)

# note: Revealed type is 'builtins.list[builtins.int*]'
That’s true, so now I see where the issue of unavoidable unsafe usage comes in. It’s not always possible to create a safe and general wrapper for all driver functionality, though in special cases maybe. I agree now that using Rust still offers something even if it can’t be guaranteed that the code is 100%. Thanks for explaining.
Yeap, it's a very inconsistent mess up here. In the media, "Latino" and "Hispanic" are often treated interchangeably, and both as though they were a race. It's very common to see statistics broken down like "White, Black, Hispanic". This confusion reaches even the highest levels, including people who really should know better, e.g. see this "apology" which somehow still doesn't seem to understand that "Latino" is not a race: https://www.npr.org/2020/08/07/900147716/

> Albeit is even wrong to use in the sense of a continent giving America is just one continent, with north and south.

To make matters even worse, we're taught in school is that North America is a distinct continent by itself, as is South America, and that there is no continent named "America". This leads some North American "patriots" to get upset at the idea of a single continent, hence the insistence that the word "America" and "Americans" only refer to the USA.

Bitcoin is already not such a useful currency (although it’s currently a very useful speculative asset) due to the fact that it has been maxed out at a real world daily average of ~3.5tx/s for years AFAICT (half the often quote 7tps) as its blocksize is hard-capped (and if history has shown, will never be able to be increased). There are also minimums for value that are effectively spendable based on BTC/byte transaction fees, UTXOs (the set continues to grow dramatically) and price where a larger and larger percentage of the coinbase becomes un-economic to spend as price goes up.

Just as a point of reference, the current median tx price in USD is ~$12, next block confirmations currently cost in excess of 100+ satoshis/byte and the median tx size is ~250 bytes.

She tries to evade questions about censorship based on politics claiming she just deals with problems of inauthenticity, basically the issue of fake accounts trying to push some agenda, whether the agenda is right or "fake". But it is a bit hypocritical to disconnect the two, when you censor political opinions you are doing exactly the same thing only from the opposite side, you basically sqew the real map of political opinions. She wants Facebook to both censor and fight fake accounts, basically controlling the discourse from any possible direction. In some way facebook tries to be more linient and let different forces balance itself while she wants to be the ultimate commissar of who can push their agenda and who can't.
NYTs groundbreaking ideas paywalled here, but tbh given the recent incident shouldn't people be happy about this? A robot won't get scared and accidentally grab its Glock instead of the taser.
I agree; I tried standalone boxes like the Electribe 2 and Circuit, and the iPad with Korg Gadget is just way more flexible and quicker. The soft synths available are truly equal to desktop apps now.

Extraordinary. I will tell the people of Venezuela and Argentina to drop their savings in Bitcoin and get stocks. Such a great idea, they will see the benefits within the year.
As other commissioned jobs will show you, like in real estate, that’s only an incentive to close high volume easy deals, not move mountains to chase hard deals.

Your idea would likely just spur a movement to throw the book at normal working people to extract the most from easy targets, like self-employed misfiles.

Terraform 0.14 is pretty much fully compatible with 0.13, so no such command is necessary. All you have to do is make sure your state is for version 0.13. Outside that it's a bunch of usability changes that do not affect your tf code.
Honestly, I'd guess that it would hurt more than it would help. People tend to put things into mental buckets of monetary-based or favor-based relationships. For example, I wouldn't agree to do 4-5 hours of manual labor in exchange for $20. On the other hand, I would help a friend move to a new house/apartment for snacks and pizza. Those two have the same level of monetary reward, but one is being judged as a social tradeoff.

There was a study about a neighborhood daycare center that was trying to avoid parents being late to pick up their kids. The daycare instituted a penalty fee if a parent is late to the pick-up. From an economic perspective, this is a larger cost, and should result in one-time pick-ups. Instead, people were consistently later in picking up their kids. Before money was added to the equation, it was "Person X, who I know and enjoy talking with, is troubled when I am late. To avoid hurting their feelings, I should be on time." After, the situation changed to "Being 30 minutes late is a $10 fee. I still need to get groceries today, and that is worth $10." By thinking of it in monetary terms, people stopped considering each other as much as people. Even when the fee was removed, the damage had already been done, and the late pick-ups continued.

My guess is that you might get a few more contributors here and there, but it would turn off more than would start.

For me personally, I've spent time fixing bugs in open-source javascript libraries that I happened to notice while browsing. It would have felt a bit off had there been a monetary reward, because that wasn't why I made the bugfix. Or one time I made a character builder for an out-of-print RPG system, and was beaming for weeks at being mentioned in that company's weekly newsletter. Had they tossed me $50 for it, objectively I would have been better off, but rather put out. $50 would have shifted it from a social exchange into a working exchange, and not one that valued the months of evenings/weekends that were spent in development.

That said, a lot of it depends on the amount. Other posters have recommended reaching out to offer part-time jobs to contributors. This sounds like a reasonable route, so long as it is at a reasonable hourly rate for the full time contributors put in, not just the difference from before. Remember, by making the offer you are taking away the entire social exchange, and need to make a good enough offer to counteract that effect.
This is what I'm saying. The banks are more than happy to pay fines and add regulations to their practices because they don't want the government to shut them down. Coinbase will be no different. They make too much money to have any principals around standing up for a "Permissionless and Decentralized financial system"
I found this trying to Google around for NASA scientists pay during the space race. Turns out maybe money wasn’t the biggest factor involved.

The problem is that extremely low-quality comments (e.g. anything from "agree" and off-topic memes to irrelevant political sledging to the kind of thing that will get the user banned when a moderator sees it) are the majority of downvoted comments. Requiring a reply would give them long chains of unnecessary comments until they hit the threshold to be hidden.
Not a computational linguist (or a linguist at all), but this is an area I know a bit about. The question you ask is at the centre of the study of ‘glottochronology’ [0]:

> The original method presumed that the core vocabulary of a language is replaced at a constant (or constant average) rate across all languages and cultures …

Unfortunately, the only major discovery glottochronology has revealed is that rates of change vary too much to be of any use:

> in Bergsland & Vogt (1962), the authors make an impressive demonstration, on the basis of actual language data verifiable by extralinguistic sources, that the "rate of change" for Icelandic constituted around 4% per millennium, but for closely connected Riksmal (Literary Norwegian), it would amount to as much as 20%.

And there are other factors affecting replacement rate as well. For instance, a curious trait about the non-Austronesian languages of New Guinea is that the word ‘louse’ is practically never replaced: it evolves according to normal sound change, but never gets thrown out entirely. By contrast, many languages have a taboo against mentioning the names of the deceased; this can speed up lexical replacement if those people have names homophonous with common words.

For these reasons, I suspect that a general answer to your question will be extremely difficult — if not impossible — to find.

How did he follow thru with his vision? Read his other comments to get better picture - he was angry at the system of Credit Cards, PayPals etc that charge outraged fees just to be able to use their network. He wanted to build network that performs exchange at zero fee. Instead, he ended up building and owning one of the most expensive crypto exchanges in the USA.

Sure props to him to pull it off, you don't get net worth of $20B by accident or pure luck... but in terms of his vision of the world more united where it is easier to send and receive money without paying outrages fees, he definitely failed on that promise.
I see, you were never interested in having an objective debate on the merit of a project. Just wanted to go on a social crusade.

nah. i’ve heard the cross-cloud argument multiple times and it does not hold any water. i wish we lives in a world where we could do cloud agnostic stuff but the reality is that you have your aws terraform files, your gcp terraform files and so on.

Cloudformation? Like the tool that bring you from state A to state B or if it cannot rolls back to state A? Yeah. It’s an abomination for a tool to leave infra in a consistent state. Who would want that?

Re: checkout the code and apply again. What if I told you that terraform can mess up so hard that it won’t work? What if I told you that sometimes you will not be able to rollback OR even destroy your infra?

Here is an exercise for you. Create some infra with terraform and do a destroy and tell me if it managed to cleanup everything? I’m gonna bet you that for anything less than trivial you are gonna have a bad time. The solution? Tag shit and use a python script to cleanup. I’m not even kiddding.

Oddly enough, it is not a gender phenomenon worth discussing that men over 55 have a significantly increased risk of dying from Covid-19.

But don't worry, in Brazil the dead of Covid-19 are much younger, although there is still a gender gap in favour of females.

"a technical meaning in a specific field" is one of the definitions of idiom (as given above)—they literally list 'jargon' as a synonym ("The specialized language of a trade, profession, or similar group, especially when viewed as difficult to understand by outsiders."). That entry was from: The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.

Since idiom has both the structural denotation of a phrase being semantically 'atomic' (you lose the meaning if you break it into pieces), plus its synonymity with 'jargon', there appears to be nothing added in "term of art".

—but maybe this is a lesser known meaning of 'idiom'.

This might not be accurate. RS-485 is an electrical signaling standard for carrying arbitrary binary signals. It's usually used for carrying UART data, as a longer-range / higher-speed replacement for RS-232. It has no opinion about what is transmitted, and has no concept of channels or even any particular encoding format.
I agree. Power corrupts. No one is immune.
