No questions on the technical implementation, this looks impressive. Nevertheless, I'm getting more and more convinced that the whole multi-cloud topic is snake oil, an engineering self-purpose and basically the ORM discussion of the '00 years reloaded.

When you're betting on any of the large, public clouds, what you're paying extra on top compared to colocation is basically renting an insanely large and experienced operations team that's solely incentivized by keeping the services running and connected. I'm not saying the large players will never fail, but at least they are designed and built to that standard at any single point of contact.

Even at a _single_ public cloud, bugs and misconfigurations far outweigh any hardware failure. I've seen routing configurations or the Kubernetes backplane fail on GCP that took down my services, but never ever even a whole Availability Zone.

The farther you zoom out, the larger the probability of misconfiguration and failure by excessive technological complexity compared to individual server or service failure.

I did myself a favor once and wondered what's the actual cost if our site goes down and for how long. Surely it's high, you might be surprised to actually compare that against what you're paying for in risk management.

With that number in hand, I decided for example that the risk and adjusted cost of whole AZ failure is negligible compared to what we were paying for in intra-AZ traffic and happily put all of our production network back into one AZ (backups excluded of course).

Also, on the cost side, you'll usually get larger discounts and massively save on traffic costs if you just bet on a single cloud that should far outweigh any savings you might get by the leverage of avoiding lock-in, or buying individual services cheaper on specific clouds.

Then again, we're not servicing any life critical systems. Your mileage may vary.
> How would eliminating all Proof-of-Work cryptocurrencies and shifting entirely to Proof-of-Stake eliminate the incentive for miners to monopolize every last bit of computing resources they can?

It absolutely wouldn't - as we see from Proof-of-Space trashing the hard disk market recently.
> Funny, as a conservative minority in a straight white liberal company, my entire existence isn’t just political, it’s apparently a moral imperative that I be reminded on a daily basis that people like myself not only shouldn’t have a voice, we shouldn’t be allowed to exist in society at all. Full stop.

As someone on the opposite side of the political spectrum from you, I want to say - I respect your opinions, I can see some of the arguments for them, I'm willing to listen, and I would have absolutely no problem working with you, employing you, or hanging out. I'm really sorry it's come to this, and it is definitely my side of the political spectrum that is more to blame.

I never really get chance to say that to anyone, so there it is FWIW.
> browsers and wasm vm implementations that will implement the JIT evaluator

I'm not sure this is the case - I think it's down to the Wasm application to implement any JIT - so it's not doing much of the work of a traditional VM - you have to build all that yourself from the ground up.

> and yes JIT is already being implemented in some vendors

I've not seen any examples - can you reference once?

You said 'of course' it's suitable for dynamic languages... but there's no evidence of this anywhere yet and many other people with experience disagree.
> I mentioned it elsewhere, but saying “my husband and I went to [insert benign weekend activity here]” is now a potentially political conversation because there are people in modern, 2021 workplaces who thing that being gay at all is a “political” issue.

Well fuck them. Mentioning your partner is not political, it's conversation. They are the ones that make it political, not you. This borders discrimination in my opinion.
I see a lot of people knit picking over some particular item on this list or another, and this strikes me as a very unfortunate response to philosophy. The advice is not given as a set of arguments or syllogisms, so if some piece doesn't agree with you it does little to contradict the broader work.
There is a ton of good advice here that is worth repeating. Personally, I really appreciate how it blends practical advice with ethical advice, as well as how there are deeper implication for practical aphorisms ('If you think you saw a mouse, you did. And, if there is one, there are more.')

I didn't find any discussion on this (admittedly mundane) change, was wondering what the general consensus was.
Do you keep yourself updated to the tech news in the world? Here's a way
Since a lot of people seem to care most about this part:

"His aunt, Dr. Toby Maurer, said the cause was diabetes ketoacidosis, a serious diabetic condition that led to his frequent hospitalization in recent years."
We haven’t learned our lesson though. We went on and kept doing the same thing with Teflon, PFAS/firefighting foams, and endocrine-disrupting plasticizers like BPA.

And it’s still not like we’ve learned any lesson from that, either. They don’t have to prove what they’re replacing it with is safe, or presumptively handle it like it’s unsafe. In 50 years we will find out that the next PFOA-like or BPA-like compound does the same thing, because it was selected for the same properties that posed the problems in humans in the first place. Until you flip the model on its head and require companies to establish safe handling protocols, biological limits, and appropriate disposal methods in advance, it’s just going to keep happening. But god forbid we tell industry “no”.
The problem with over-engineering is also that it makes other refactoring harder at later stages, or just discourages change. Some degree of shittiness actually improves agility, and encourages change.
Whether this change is good or bad is still to be seen, however, what is great is that the elephant in the room is finally being addressed - how are all these social issues REALLY affecting (tech) companies today? So far we have just accepted that it's all good and the way we have been dealing with it is fine and we are better off this way. But are we really?

Let's stop fighting and start figuring out how to properly handle deep social issues troubling the workplace today.

This sort of over-reaction to throwaway comments is a big part of the problem. Take the most generous interpretation - maybe they just mean "a company where I am in the minority politically", that's all you need to take to follow the point.

Bullshit - I live in NZ, we've bought one of those 2nd hand Japanese Leafs, ours was at ~80% which gives us roughly a 100km range if charged 100% (we charge to 80%, which is better for the battery, besides we live on top of a hill) - it's a great around town car, what we bought it for, we've never run out of charge, always slow charge at home for cents compared with the other car (a Prius)

The problem with exchange rates is usually that the institution managing the ATM/Payment Terminal tries to trick you into using their exchange instead of just charging your card in the local currency and have your bank do the exchange. And the ATMs exchange rate are a ripoff. You’re not a returning customer, so they milk you as much as they can. This holds true for both credit and debit cards. Check with your bank, they’ll give you the proper advice and it’s usually “charge in the local currency and let us handle the exchange.”
In Europe indeed, no idea why American BMWs are so much worse. There is also a huge amount of complaining online about the dealers, that could be part of the problem.

Have you actually tried Shopify? I have developed multiple custom theme and apps for my Shopify store clients, you can customize the theme to whatever you want using HTML/CSS/JS. And in case of vendor lock in, you can always export out the theme file before switching to another ecommerce store provider, then edit the theme file slightly to match other provider.

If you just want an API to accept order and checkout and want to create the whole UI by yourself, you can consider using Shopify Lite for $9 / Month.

The bloatness is there for a reason, you will start to regret your decision to go lean after you realize you need to add product variants, custom discount scheme, or even handling chargeback / return /refund down the road.

I made a living by helping merchant who stumbled the roadblocks mentioned above to switch to Shopify.

> Truly new things rarely need an abundance of money.

Based on my experience this holds true for organisations. Time and again I've seen a well run startup lose its bearing with the avalanche of new funding and the expectation of hockey-stick growth that comes along with it. Money in this case proves to be counter-productive as everyone starts saying "let's-throw-money" to solve problems. Not only does it not solve the problem but it also starts attracting people who are disproportionately motivated by money. And once an org gets infiltrated by such people it's a sharp downhill from there.

> Instead almost all breakthroughs are made by those who lack money,.... Being poor is an advantage in innovation.

This is anecdotally true (again w.r.t. organisations). At a startup I worked for, we would come up with creative ways to scale up systems and honestly prioritise customers request. With the advent of funding that was replaced by "launch every darn feature now", "don't bother scaling up just buy more machine". Constraints bring out lasting innovations.
I am not even downvoting that comment because it seems to be such a great example of the blatant cognitive dissonance Tesla and Musk evoke in many people.
About 8 years of growth following the exponential curve? Just look at all the quarter numbers.

Of course, at a certain point Tesla is going to stop growing exponentially. The competition is growing, the total car market is limited. But if Tesla is continuing on the current trajectory for 2-4 more years, they have a chance at becoming the largest car manufacturer in the world.
Once upon a time you didn't see co-branded Visa/Mastercard/etc. debit cards for local banks. In many cases you still don't. If you have access to a co-branded debit card you're often afforded many of the same protections as credit card users. However, you still miss out on other, additional benefits, like building your credit and getting access to rewards.

It always depends, so do your own research, but as far as I understand, it is still considered decent general advice to tell people to prefer credit cards over debit cards. They will build credit, earn rewards, have excellent consumer protection from fraud, increase the distance between their purchases and the cash in their bank account, and so on.

About time something got named after Lamarr! The usual "inventor of Bluetooth, in a way" always seems like a bit of a stretch, but her story deserves getting told and naming a fun learning language might be just the right amount of spotlight.

Honestly though the amount of meta tags in this boilerplate is ridiculous. What has the web come to? Why can't it use <title> for og:title? Why can't it use the favicon for apple-touch-icon? Why can't it use the URL for the url? Why can't we assume UTF-8 unless told otherwise?
I’m a bit surprised at the downvoting and wondering if there’s misunderstanding. To be clear, I’ve been working remote for years and fully support it. Physical location doesn’t matter. A team could have someone in a Bay Area house, someone in Bakersfield with farming as a side project, another living in a Tahoe cabin with Starlink and hiking everyday, another in Oregon living in the small town they grew up in. Remote is the future and allows wonderful quality of life. But note that these examples are all the same time zone. My comments are from experience, I’ve been on teams with mixed time zones. And the issues from mixed time zones are hidden and silent because no one wants to upset anyone. No one wants to tell the manager that Bob is nice but hard to work with because he’s never online when we need him. But that doesn’t mean the issues don’t exist. The best way to handle this is to never let it happen in the first place. If it’s already happened, the next best option is to refactor the teams by time zone, for example hire more in Bob’s time zone and form a new independent team in that zone.

The industry has been sensor fusion for decades. Training Autopilot neural networks to hallucinate road parts is easy but doing uncertainty estimation on simple radar measurements is hard? Also you still have to fuse the data from the multiple cameras.

I'm almost doubting my entire knowledge in the field now when all of a sudden everyone just accepts that "sensor fusion is hard" statement.
That's interesting because what I forgot to mention is that while I have a 4K TV, it seems that the Roku apps refuse to play anything at a 4K resolution. The Chromecast Ultra seems to output 4K just fine.

I haven't noticed any differences in color though, so I can't speak to that. Maybe the HDMI input has different picture settings set than the base Roku? I'm sure you've tried that though, so I don't know.
What's the actual risk posed by such nuclear waste?
VW has just started selling their first "real" electric cars based on their all new platform.

If that platform works out then Tesla is going to compete not against one or two new models, but they'll suddenly compete against two dozen models.

Unless VW fucks something up in the next year, I just don't know how Tesla expects to compete with them. Tesla only has a handful of high end cars; they have no family cars, no vans, no compact cars, no busses.

VW is great at building models for every niche and at every price point. No matter what kind of car you want, VW (or Skoda or Audi) has multiple options for you.

Tesla is currently still ahead, but I'm not sure they can match the breadth of VWs upcoming model palette (if VWs new platform works out).

At an individual level, that's often true.

An employer might, for example, negotiate a gym membership or online classes for their employees at 70% of the normal price. If you take advantage of those benefits, you're basically getting a 30% discount on something you'd otherwise pay full price for.

To continue the example, however, if less than 70% of your workforce uses that benefit, the company is now typically paying more in total than the individuals would be paying to just buy that thing on their own. (Obviously, this depends on how your perks are negotiated, but even then you also have overheads in paying someone to acquire/negotiate/maintain these kinds of nontangible benefits.)

Not to mention it falls into the Gift Card problem of dictating what those employees get to spend their money on, instead of giving them the freedom to spend it as they wish, which devalues the per-dollar benefit every time there's a perk that goes unused. (Food for thought: second-hand $100 gift cards often sell for $50-75 cash online.)

I don't have any inside numbers on what % of people take full advantage of all of their company benefits, but I'd venture a guess that there's not as much cost-savings as it seems at first glance.
True, but I think it's important to acknowledge that those practices, regardless of their prior legality, were predatory. If it was an honest mistake about something that wasn't a big deal, I don't think many people would be up in arms about it. But these particular circumstances lead me to believe Lambda is a pretty scummy organization.

They're only agreeing to change their language because they were previously lying, and now there could be regulatory and financial consequences for them if they don't change it.
