Even those are at the extreme end of the extreme. It doesn't take long to develop a tolerance that allows one to function the next morning with 10-15 drinks/night, which is two to three wine bottles. I've seen several people fall into that trap out of desperation due to insomnia, since the never-ending hangover can be preferable to chronic extreme sleep deprivation. That's easily 3500+ drinks a year and all it takes is one of those per 9 teetotalers to get 1 drink/day average.

I’m not the parent but I’ll pitch in on this as I have a few client projects using docker compose for production.

No downtime deployments: I don’t bother for these projects. A minute of downtime in off-peak hours for a restart is fine.

Data backup: just like you would backup any other local data: cron, rsync, pg_dump. And there isn’t much local data anyway as most services are stateless, using S3 or a database for long term storage.

I choose docker compose for production when I want to keep complexity to a minimum: All I need is a cloud vm, an ansible playbook to install docker and configure backups. Typically in these scenarios I run the database as an OS service and only use docker for nginx/redis and application services.
well I'm asking because I have a docker-compose file and I use kustomize+kompose on it, because volume backup is a thing and the file comes from an upstream vendor and we can actually miss a few minutes/hours/days of uptime, but since the databases also use compose and sadly in a way that I can't remove it (migrate.sh script that makes use of compose commands), else I can use my kustomize+kompose setup which basically replaces the kustomize+kompose with a custom init container that I built, however everytime they change their shell scripts I need to fix my stuff...
but they say that I should just backup my whole volume/vm via lvm snapshots or via vmware whatever. which I find a little bit akward and I do not want to backup my data with disk snapshots. another way would be to natively backup stuff via compose, but they use many databases and it's way harder than just use velero.
> I knew that this would be mentioned but I didn't want to write an extensive comment.

Oh, me neither, and I wasn't really talking of big production runs. If you have tight margins, you better take anything you can, and C is probably one of the first tools at your disposal.

> What I wouldn't buy is something like "hey, chips are cheaper, let use a prototyped javascript-system over a VM over an RTOS, just because".

You'd be surprised. The Harmony remotes comes to mind as an (old) example. In environments such as startups, time to market sometimes trumps even common sense. And people (including you and me) just prefer the tools they know most.

> Personally I wouldn't know where to start with micropython.

Funnily, I have never used it (except for a bit on a numworks calculator), but I can't imagine it being difficult once it's up and running on your microcontroller of choice. You probably flash and run as usual, except it's python code and has a repl.
True. Yeah I thought the whole sub-thread here was talking about long-term effects, not a short-term one-time gap of unused supply. The top comment was talking about the general necessity of meat to our economy, right?
This is actually quite common because alcohol consumption effects GABA and serotonin levels in the brain, as well as the sensitization of GABAergic and serotonergic neurons, and both neurotransmitters are involved in anxiety and panic. It can also be the result of a very light kindling[1] effect.

The colloquial term seems to be "hangxiety" if you want a term to search for.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindling_(sedative%E2%80%93hyp...
ADHD folks, I'm pretty sure (but I don't have hard science) that alcohol depletes your precious and limited store of dopamine. For normal people, the hangover is just "my head hurts" and such. For ADHD people, the hangover also includes "my willpower is reduced", potentially for days while the brain sloooowly replenishes dopamine.

That's fine too. Often if I'm thinking out loud it's for the benefit of the interviewer so they don't get bored or confused later when I write a bunch of stuff after a long period of silence.

I also tend to do a lot of scribbling of intermediate picture/thoughts that I wipe and redo so it's not a complete void.

Where it can penalize you is if you don't finish and not having talked/shown your work to that point doesn't count for as much.

The best tech interview is if you describe the strategy, algorithm outline and datastructures that you would be using and the interviewer says, "that's good enough, next question".

The US is full of slow internet, but it's not particularly plagued by capped internet.

There are a bunch of 1TB caps around, but a cap like that would suggest that the value of 500MB is 3 to 10 cents at most.

Just using 3 watts at idle is already enough to cost the average person 25 cents a month.
The only institution that can field an army is the government - it's not something that happens organically or can be trusted to private companies.

CPAPs themselves are expensive.

The CPAP machine that I was prescribed would cost me $700 over three months to _rent_, which I would have to pay in advance, with reimbursement from my insurance plan only after I uploaded weekly compliance data dumps. Or, for an additional $200, the machine could upload those data dumps for me.

That's the real barrier for entry for most - cost.
The last time I had a drink was a beer festival. I used to drink beer a lot in my early 20s and beer festivals were something I looked forward to. I slept terribly that night and felt awful the next day. It suddenly dawned on me that this happened every time and I realised alcohol does nothing good for me at all. It's expensive, unhealthy, slows my senses, makes me less funny, makes me worse at sex, makes me sleep worse and often ruins the next day.

I don't plan to ever drink again. It is necessary to have the confidence to order something non-alcoholic and be straight with people if they question it. I don't drink. If they ask why (which is exceedingly rare), I ask why they don't smoke. That usually gets the message across.

Historically, this is one of the reasons Apple went with Intel CPUs to begin with. The PowerPC G5 was a nice processor but never ended up with a thermal envelope acceptable for a laptop. So from 2003 to 2006, you could buy a Mac G5 desktop, but if you wanted a laptop, it was a G4. 2006 was the beginning of the transition to Intel, who made better processors that Apple could put in laptops.

It's not the only reason Apple switched to x86, but it perhaps the most commonly cited factor.

https://www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii/blitzkrieg

Hitler was no warrior, or strategist, or general - he was a populist, a rabble rouser - didn't the USA just get rid of one of those?
Had Hitler given his generals the keys and said win this war.
They would have done so.
They would have destroyed the RAF and airplane industry on the ground and invaded and taken the UK before the USA entered. Then they could have carved up Europe with Russia as well as the middle east and wire netted the Mediterranean against subs and ships and allow who they like. The UK fleet large as it was would have to flee to other ports or surrender. Then what would the USA do? They would see a fortress europe. Would stalin invade, or digest the meat hitler had given him while Hitler grabbed the middle east oil.
At this time Russian oil was unknown.
The generals would not let the Jews be killed - they are our best instrument makers and physicists, so no Holocaust.
Even Hitlers own officers waned him killed.

I am sure glad he ran their war into the ground with his bed strategies and diplomacy.

I for one am glad he lost

Thanks for the reply.

I guess this comes back to the age old question about such wars: how would anyone fight one and not have it turn nuclear?
There are opinions and personal experiences - valid for one or a few people, and then there are scientific concepts that are universal and generalize everywhere. The Mars helicopter flies OK even though it wasn't designed on Mars. Science works with or without people's approval.

My main concern with stories is that they are prone to emotional appeal and cherry picking of facts. We live in the era of fake news and critical justice mobs after all, we need to be skeptic. What if the story proposes an agenda that is just supporting another group against your own, not including a balanced view of the situation? What if the underlying message is that of social war, non-inclusiveness and dehumanizing towards the "oppressor group"? The Bible itself is a story with many many victims during the last two millennia.
Is there an advantage to compiling native vs non-native code? Certainly during execution I would expect that, but I’m not clear why that would be true for compilation.

Agreed that a better benchmark would be compiling for the same target architecture on both.
> schedule a sleep study with their doctor

I have what is considered good insurance, and it cost me $750 out of pocket for a sleep study. So hope you've got the cash.
Really appreciate this breakdown plus your call-to-action to investigate these numbers yourself. Really fun read.

I'm going to take this moment to push back against the common figures I hear around how much one "should make" as a freelancer. In general, they seem inflated.

You claim that, for a $100k employee, you should be able to generate $75/hr in value. You've also generously calculated that the number needs to be close to $80/hr to break even with a $100k salary.

Even crazier, other discussions on HN place the freelance hourly number much higher. Well above $100, sometimes even more.

As someone who did freelance for about a year (after exiting a $100k job), I'd say those were not the rates I saw.

Towards the end of my time, some of my gigs broke $100, but they were usually just a day or two of work. If I were to average my total rate, the number was probably closer to $60.

Perhaps I was bad at finding the right jobs, but the low rates and difficulty in finding the right jobs are the reasons I returned to salaried life.

Great writeup!

> The part of my response that you didn't even address is that I'm saying FAILURE is engineered into the design DELIBERATELY. It's not a side effect of creating a cheaper product.

Yes, there are examples of this deliberately happening. However, there are reasons why it happens as a side-effect of the engineering process, and this is an exponentially more common scenario (because it is common engineering process!).

Not to China, but to Chinese forces (even those within China controlled areas), I expect they would as does China or they would have already moved. China may ultimately win an exchange of value, but it ultimately is more exposed to other threats like Japan, Russia, India and internal struggles. China can't overcommit and win a battle to lose a war.
Definitely both. This is the part of the interview that I get the strongest signal from. If they can still remember a problem, failed and working solution with great detail some time after the situation then they must have understood it at a level more than lookup trial and error fixes. It's great when you can riff off each other thinking about various avenues of discovery, potential causes and fixes.
I think this is misinterpreting the figures.

It's important to know that the US and Europe also collectively have higher populations, and are more interconnected (so their risk of contagion is higher than for small countries).

And when it comes to research and vaccinations, it's clear that the US quickly developed effective vaccines and was able to distribute them. While this is still an ongoing process, you only need to look at India to see that other countries are still far behind on vaccine supply, research, and distribution efforts.

These kind of things are relative, I'd say that the US did seem handle the crisis relatively well, all things considered. Certainly room for improvement though.

That’s a great (surprising) reference. Intellectually I know functional alcoholics exist but it’s still tough to come to grips with that many people drinking that much alcohol.

How does a virtualized ARM build, of Ubuntu for example, run in Parallels vs. the same workload on an x86 virtual machine in the same range?

If my day to day development workflow lives in linux virtual machines 90% of the time, is it worth it to get an M1 for virtualization performance? I realize I'm hijacking but I haven't found any good resources for this kind of information...
This seems harsh, and yet:

> And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

I found that Hashicorp Nomad fit really well in between k8s and swarm for power to complexity. I ended up not being able to use it because they hadn't implemented the networking stuff that they eventually got, but it's pretty cool stuff.
Thanks for making "open world" board/card games. Open world in the sense that an interaction order is not enforced, where you can place the chips anywhere you like, whenever you like, leaving it up to the players to enforce the rules through either common sense or another communication channel.

I remember back in the Google Wave days I created a connect four game where no turns were enforced, and you could take out the chips of the opponent if you saw that they cheated. A Google engineer was a bit irritated by that, she expected that it was turn based and pointed it out as a flaw.

Maybe you could add a feature which shakes the entire table so that the cards/boards end up in a state where continuing doesn't make much sense, like when you push away the board IRL because you noticed that you lost.
I agree. It's not so much "saving time" as when you are in a state of flow, you want to remove anything that slows you down from converting what's in your head to code.

I notice that when I am totally in the zone, I start to get frustrated quickly when tools take longer than normal or stop working correctly. You have a map of where you want to go and have the mental acuity to do it, but when tools get in your way, it takes you out of the flow.
> We simply choose healthier behaviors.

Hmm, I wonder where your desire to choose healthier behaviors came from...
Most of my male genetic relatives have/had a history of alcohol abuse, so I decided from an early age that the best approach was to not drink any alcohol at all, and I held to that until about nine years ago. Long research has indicated that one cup of red wine per day has measurable health benefits, so I started to drink one cup, like medicine, immediately before bed.

After doing that for a few weeks, I came home from work; my wife and son weren't home at the moment. I sat down at my computer and started working on my side project, as usual.

I was shocked to see that there was a large plastic container on my desk filled most of the way up with red wine, and I'd been gulping it down.

Honest to God, I had absolutely no recollection of getting that container, pouring the wine, and putting it on my desk.

That was very chilling, I poured the rest of it out and haven't had a drink since.
