That's a good point. We mention latency as "replication lag" and we have devoted a paragraph to the drift that comes as the result of this latency. In our case, we measured the latency to be <1s, and it was totally acceptable. As for the performance, triggers can become a problem with enough write traffic. In a different use case, Bucardo would be eliminated from a potential solution due to this.

> First, you need to talk about whole cost of production and quality of the product. When you reduce your node your development and production costs grow exponentially. Size of the wafer is only small part of the production cost.

What exponent?

The number of mask steps is similar or a few more from 600nm to 180nm. Isn't that the best way to estimate cost per wafer, in combination with the cost to make the masks?

> Second, the chip area can't be arbitrarily small. You still need area to connect it with outside, area for larger components, etc. When you reduce your transistor size at some point the chip area will stop getting reduced because of packaging requirements.

That's why I said 5x instead of 20x. I looked at the size of the pads and the circuitry around them, assumed they wouldn't shrink at all, then combined that with a somewhat pessimistic estimate of how much the logic could shrink.

Add to that a large volume of EU funded "projects" which are just alternative names for transferring money to professors and other administration. So everyone wants to work on a EU project, as they will get a lot of money for very little (if any) work. The money has to be spent on equipment etc, but usually that equipment (IT hardware/software, specialised equipment, vehicles, whatever) just ends up in the private hands. Then it can just be resold to someone else, or bartered for other stuff. There is no or very little oversight. Professors stopped teaching long ago, they just consider it a nuisance while making extremely good money with those projects, a lot of free time and high salaries.

With Ireland, this was intentional by the EU to bring the then new member closer to the rest, economically.

Now that Ireland has passed most of the rest of the EU in GDP per capita, it's time to pull that back, and that's starting to happen.

The UK...well... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The poor aren't affected so much by monetary inflation as by old-school wage-price inflation. If wage inflation > price inflation, they're winning. Considerable effort has been invested (mostly by Friedmanites) to suppress the mechanisms of wage inflation. Conversely, if wage inflation < price inflation, that's a serious and immediate cashflow problem which will eat up their savings far faster than mere inflation will.

> typically have only few thousand dollars in cash deposit savings see their money being wipes out by inflation

10% inflation on $1k savings vs 10% inflation on a $20k salary: you do the maths?

It's interesting to see people stick to bpftrace for the high-level language and bcc for the low-level one. If there is a bytecode VM, I expect many languages to bloom, especially the VM is embedded into the most popular open source software
- Linux.

I don't say bpftrace or C is bad, but they are rather classic. In typical OSS community, PL enthusiasts chime in, nitpick and eventually build something fancier (which is good sometimes and bad other times). Isn't it happening here in BPF? Is the domain too niche, or is the VM capability too limited?

You are right. AWS DMS was our very first choice to try out. It is very easy to use, deployed within your VPC and most of the problems we mention in the article are already solved.

> IndexedDB is indeed cancer.

So is PHP according the infallible SV pundits.

Either you've never actually tried to store significant amounts of data in localstorage, or you're from the era of "640k is enough".

To say nothing of having no indexing functionality with localstorage, or paying the 33% base64 tax to put anything remotely binary into it.

> If you need to store more data, why not do it on the server?

"Because there is always, ALWAYS a high speed, low latency 100% uptime connection" /s

In answer to your last question, we have developed two PWAs reliant on local databases.

1. Was a product catalogue for use in stores, letting users filter down to select a particular appliance. two key requirements were that not all stores had great wifi coverage, and they wanted to easily update the catalogue (which meant no app recompilation).

So, Dexie atop IndexedDB, with indexes on the various facets for searching, and a simple settings page to run a sync.
Dexie stored the product data, and a "immutable" SW cache strategy was used to keep the images available.

2. A detailed report generation app, Key requirement, must work with patchy connectivity as reports need to be taken in the field with unknown signal availability. Reports are locally stored and synced periodically (connection permitting).
Again, Dexie atop IndexedDB, this time the images stored in the db as blobs prior to upload.

The carbon tax, like vat, is a tax targeting the poor entirely. Tax offsets? Yea right..

The middle class pays nearly the entire tax income ball. Funding UBI or anything else will have to come from there. The tax offset will always be in the benefit of the upper brackets, because they can't fund such a pool of money to be redistributed anyway. Tax corporates? Oh no, that would stifle innovation and reinvestment. So, tax the middle class. But that won't work. They already spend 2/3 of their earned wealth in various taxes. Nobody is going to work to fund a UBI they can get anyway.

I love the idea of UBI, but doing the math and figuring out how people think about whether producing value for others vs doing nothing should show that it just can't work.I would happily be won't and take the UBI cheque and do something productive while not really having to care about the adoption of whatever I'm producing
I've got some sympathy for this in the case of countries other than the US and China.

After all, if Stanford does research funded by the US taxpayer, develops a new ML technology and gives it away for free, Google/Facebook will make a bunch of money from it, which they'll pay US taxes on.

But if École Polytechnique does research funded by the French taxpayer, develops a new ML technology and gives it away for free? Google/Facebook will make a bunch of money from it, which they'll pay US taxes on - while the French economy will see a much smaller upside.
That sounds really inconvenient.
Whilst demonstrating incredible bleeding edge technology, the Hangman example is hardcoded.

https://github.com/google/fully-homomorphic-encryption/blob/...

It's such a convenient parody of a classic programming exercise that it must be intentional. I can't help laughing at how that one file is saying two things at once:

"Uh, it's one-word Hangman. Dead simple. Nothing up our sleeves. I have Real Stuff to do, give me a break."

"Our product is working great, but there's some minor fixes to do. Let's hold a meeting on how to really get this multi-word support cracked. Maybe add 'privacy-aware' and 'digitalization'?"

Surprisingly, it's also making it very easy to understand what is actually relevant in the project.
Yeah this pushes developers of the platform between a rock and a hard place.

It's ok to keep backwards compatibility, but the API needs to also move forward and get the bugs ironed out. The worse case is when developers start to rely on the bugs for their workarounds (yes, please, do test your API before releasing)

Maybe shims are the way to go. Instead of keeping old functionality around you make a shim that only talks to the new API. And that will serve as a guide (because if you're taking functionality out that's usually not good). I've seen a couple of cases where the deprecated API was much more straight forward and easy to use than the new one. Not good.

In New Zealand, immigration send details of selected individuals to US Homeland Security for further analysis. The reason it goes to the US is because we (NZ) don't have the resources to do what the US does.

Homeland Security specifically promises to delete any data once they've finished, but it doesn't say anything about the agencies that they presumably share it with.

Basically if the US wants data on particular people from the Five Eyes network, it can be arranged. And once it's in Langley, it can go anywhere.
I never understood why. Look at Snapchat: when it was just 1:1 messages that disappeared people got that. People liked it, used it, tried to get their friends on it, and so-on.

SQLite is amazing. But after having worked with it for many years now, I believe it should never be a platform-level API, and not standardizing it for browsers was the right choice.

SQLite has a _lot_ of great features. Many of them only introduced in recent versions, and many of them are optional extensions enabled at compile-time. There is no feasible way to standardize this to get the same functionality across all browsers.

IndexedDB may not be great to work with (at least not without helper libraries), but at least the API surface is small, and much easier to ensure you get the same behaviour in all browsers.

I'd rather advocate for a proper block-level filesystem API

Ask Marcel Duchamp :)

My original remark about not feeling intent or structure wasn't to say that the work couldn't be art. You could produce an art-creator that chose a random number, produced that number of graphics in random fashion as we see in the generator, and then destroyed itself: that would ABSOLUTELY be an artistic work in its own right.

My concern is that this is seizing upon some of the trappings of suprematism but without the artistic feeling, which means you could take it up a notch. According to Malevich, Suprematism isn't random: check out the Wikipedia article, look at his white-square and black-circle paintings. He has clear preferences for positioning and size of a single shape, and has executed 'em twice, very similarly. In 'Suprematism' there's a pale circle in pretty much the same position and size yet again, and three narrow shapes positioned to suggest a vanishing point outside the canvas top right. There's occlusion of smaller shapes by larger, occlusion of the largest by the frame (which could be done through drawing shapes in rough order of size of their largest dimension) and a color story that involves mostly warmer colors with a strategically placed, foreground, desaturated blue shape (two, in fact, it's got a tiny echo precisely in the same relationship with the centerline of the yellow shape)

Aleatoric generation is a different sort of art. Suprandomatism? :)
The kinetic energy depends on weight and speed. Cargo bikes easily come into that range, especially the fast 45km/h electric ones. Energy dissipation depends on the size of the rotor and sizes have been increasing substantially. When I bought mine, the standard disk size was 160mm, I opted for the upgrade to 180mm. The current generation of Riese-Müller Load uses dedicated cargo bike brakes with thicker rotors (2.3mm instead of 1.8) and a 223mm diameter on the rear wheel, 160mm on the front. Those brakes have substantially more staying power before they fade.

Edit: Generally, developments for cargo bikes seem to help tandems and tandem developments benefit cargo bikes. There's now an option to use the tandem version of the Rohloff internal geared hub for RM cargo bikes. That's a serious upgrade to all previous internal hubs, especially since you can combine it with a belt drive. It's a tiny bit expensive, though...
