I've had them. We were butchering a lamb, and my sister-in-law noticed that he had a nice pair (I'm being serious, they were very large), so she looked up a recipe. They're incredibly delicious, especially when cooked in cream. It may have been psychological, but we all felt like thumping our chests after eating them.

Would recommend trying them if you get the chance. Worth it.
Yeah Rust's wasm-bindgen has integration between Rust async-await and JavaScript promises which doesn't have same restrictions: https://rustwasm.github.io/wasm-bindgen/reference/js-promise...

However, Asyncify is useful in other scenarios - where you want to shim out an API that is normally synchronous in C / Rust land, with an async JS implementation.

async-await, like any coroutine-based mechanism, requires changing every single function in the entire callstack to be async as well, which is usually not feasible in such scenarios (e.g. when shimming out some basic filesystem API). That's where Asyncify helps a lot.
I see a lot of "oh, but this is what a lot of editors do" comments. But BBEdit 14's Notes feature is not "we save untitled files"; it's a little more like the Notes app, or like a more limited version of Ulysses's sheets. It's explicitly about saving documents that you don't bother to give titles to.

Also, a neat trick BBEdit has had since version 13, I think: it can actually recover untitled documents even after you close them and say "no, don't save."
Did you contact support in either event? Just curious if they were at all willing to adjust your bill.
> Supply increase difficulty has not changed recently

Sure, but supply keeps increasing less than demand is increasing, accumulating the housing shortage each year. This is a decades old trend, from long before AirBnb.

I think that supply increase is vastly dominated by regular old population increase in cities that refuse to build housing. I'd need a lot of convincing to believe AirBnb is more than a minor factor.
Lots of people rent houses long-term. It's a norm throughout much of Europe. Eradicating short-term rentals of houses is a coherent demand. Eradicating all rental housing is deeply silly.

I moved for a job to Ann Arbor from San Francisco back in 2001 with my spouse and our two kids. The idea that I should have immediately bought a house simply in order to start a job is risible. There are lots of good reasons not to own your house, even if you're going to stay in an area long-term (I ended up staying there for 4 years; we bought the house we lived in for our last year there, and took a bath on it, because buying a house you only keep for a year or two is usually a terrible idea).

I live in Chicagoland now. I own my house, but several of my neighbors rent theirs. Why wouldn't they? Residential real estate exposure is not a universally appropriate investment strategy. People live for decades in houses they rent; their landlords have property managers who handle upkeep, and the renters invest their money elsewhere. Maybe at some point they have to move houses; there are plenty of other rentals nearby.
You mean you're not in a giant open office? Nice.
Sheep testicles are actually more common. Bull testicles are a bit more rare, and generally come from old bulls. Lamb testes are pretty big, and absolutely delicious.
> With a non-trivial example that uses readable attribute names, a single, long, space-delimited string becomes more a burden than a convenience, I think.

For a suitable definition of “non-trivial” and “readable” (where the former is “long list of attributes” and the latter is “long attribute names”), I’d agree, but plenty of real, serious namedtuple use is for namedtuples with small numbers of short attribute names, and those are more readable (in the literal sense) this way.

OTOH, for the nontrivial, static uses, you probably want to skip right past namedtuple() with a static list of string literals for names to typing.NamedTuple with its dataclass-like syntax, including type hints, since its more readable and also supports typing.

> Also, the amount of time saved typing is miniscule in comparison to all the rest of the development work that'll happen.

Sure, but if you start passing on providing (or, on the other side, using) conveniences because each is small in isolation, the aggregate cost ends up being high.
I actually decided to delete my comment here. I've had a challenging day and I don't feel like making it worse by continuing this conversation. Have a nice day.
What you are saying may be a valid criticism of basic undergraduate algorithms courses, but it is a bit unfair as an absolute criticism of the field. There exists a huge literature that studies algorithms under various models of the memory hierarchy, and under various models of I/O. Even Knuth's venerable The Art of Computer Programming from 50 years ago studied the problem of optimal sorting assuming that the data is on tape and one has six tape drives available (for some value of six that I forgot).
I was born with multiple heart defect. I've had so many surgeries I wasn't sure I'd wake up from, in fact my first surgery was at 3 and is my first memory, for a couple weeks out of every year I practically live at a cardiologist.. it's funny talking about waiting for a package. Most things roll off my back but waiting.. for packages, waiting in line, etc. drive me nuts.

I could die at any second, I want to experience all the things, I'm eager to live.

I think when you really are inescapably a dead man walking your priorities change but not in the same way as a healthy person who is freshly confronted by their mortality. It's two distinct paths of human experience.

Life goes on and nothing has meaning unless you ascribe meaning to it. It feels to me that most people forget to live, they don't even know what they value, they don't know what life or world constitutes a beautiful life/world to them.
I'm not sure that "fewer concepts" is a win. "Everything is a file" went too far with Linux, where you get status from the kernel by reading what appears to be various text files. But that runs into all the complexities of maintaining the file illusion. What if you read it in small blocks? Does it change while being read? If not, what if you read some of it and then just hold the file handle. Are you tying up kernel memory? Holding important locks? Or what?

Orchestration has a political and business problem, too. How does Amazon feel about something that runs most jobs on your own bare metal servers and rents extra resources from AWS only during overload situations? This appears to be the financially optimal strategy for compute-bound work such as game servers. Renting bare iron 24/7 at AWS prices is not cost effective.
> Aren't you completely ignoring the customers of AirBNB in this picture? Namely, the people who only visit the city for short periods of time?

Why should they be considered over the people who actually live in the city and want to build neighborhoods and communities there? Besides, they are taken into account for city planning -- hotels are zoned the way they are and considered in development talks.
I'm honestly trying to read between the lines because you are leaving too much unsaid.

What are you proposing is done if the police receive a call that seems to be from someone in a house saying there is someone taking their family hostage who says they are going to kill them?

How should we address irregular crimes that can require a rapid response?
I’ve got a different experience with Kubernetes because from what I’ve seen in fails to provide most of the features you described out of the box. Or when it does, they have major issues of how to safely deploy and maintain them over time. I assume you mean all those services can be installed and configured on Kubernetes, once you have Kubernetes itself up and running. But that’s not the same thing.
But how could it not be that way? No matter how much we can find, there will always be something just a little out of reach or just a little bit getting destroyed. If it was easy to find, it wouldn't be very interesting.
> The Earth is going to die one day. [...] If we wish to ensure the long-term survival of the only intelligent life in the universe that we know about (as well as the survival of all the other creatures on Earth, who don't have our knowledge) then adapting, exploring, and surviving in space is what we must do.

I think that's the gripe. We all wish to ensure our long-term survival, but worrying about becoming a multi-planetary species today —as we're polluting the earth at an unsustainable rate, as we're still fighting wars, as we loose millions a year to disease and as the possibility of higher education remains a privilege for few— sounds like making the wrong investment.
The specific way of stacking massive rocks as seen in Stonehenge (upright with horizontal on top) is spread far and wide across Europe, found in almost every country. Using that exact same "design".

> Climate change is a potential problem but not existential

While I agree climate change is not "existential" (at least not for humans, possibly for many other species and societal structures) it is definitely more than a "potential" problem.

> and not something we can't handle with our current technological understanding.

I think the degree to which our current technology is able to "handle" the amount of warming we have locked in is highly debatable and depends entirely on what you consider acceptable costs/loses in handling it.
That's like when Intel switched to SECC (single edge card connector) with Pentium2/Pentium3 and stuck it on an Atari(NES?)-like catridge: this was to thwart clones and outstanding cross-licensing with AMD. What a weird decision. I'm not even sure if it worked tactically because it only lasted until Pentium 4. Weird days.
I didn't have this issue when upgrading to 4, just on an interim 3.x update. Maybe the OS made a difference. I had that issue on a Mac.
Your CV can sometimes show the whole person. As a result, side projects can give some insight into the personality a bit and generate subjective interest in addition to general “box-ticking” as it applies to the job description. Never underestimate the power of an even modest conversation starter like a side project.
Second this recommendation. Our TAM suggested it and it works great. You can even install the Chrome plugin in the Edge browser.
I'd say AirBnb increases travel by decreasing the cost of housing. It increases supply of an otherwise dormant asset. I agree that to argue that it has no effect on privacy of neighborhoods or crime is naïve. On the other hand, lowering the cost of international travel[0] enables more people to travel and to be exposed to more of the world. This is, in my view, a positive.

The linked article slightly misrepresents the linked cdc guidance.

In the Washington post article it claims the cdc says vaccinated people should not be tested.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/07/21/covid-test...

>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has officially decreed that fully vaccinated people should not be tested for the coronavirus in the absence of symptoms.

In the cdc link it says they “can” refrain from routine testing, not “should”.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vac...

>Fully vaccinated people can:

>Refrain from routine screening testing if feasible

And you can see if you follow the link, there is a "should" section below the "can" section.
I just moved here from the USA and I think it's varies by the type of company you work for drastically. If you work for a bigger German company or an American company doing business here, you'll find salaries that are 90% or 95% of US salaries in like Denver or Atlanta. If you work for a German company that is early (or late) on, you'll find salaries that are more like 50%.

Feel free to reach out to me, I have pretty good (current) data on the subject but I'd rather share it privately.

It doesn't have to be a full tutorial of every feature. If I'm going to use the product, I'm going to have to learn the controls. Going through each of the instructions and learning it myself is a bit too much overhead for me. A simple interactive walkthrough of 4-5 of the key shortcuts would really shorten the learning curve.

Saying "why do we teach programmers complexity analysis in a word RAM model, there are no idealized RAM machines that behave like that in the real world" is no better than saying "why do we teach people Euclidean geometry, there are no such idealized geometrical systems in the real world".

The point is that:
1. The analysis is useful and instructive.
2. It teaches you how to analyse computing models, starting from a simple one, so that when you need to, you can build and analyse more complex models specific to your domain.
No, there's no supply because local governments are permitting historically low rates of new development.
How I thought about tracking was allowing kids to take math courses which had different trajectories leading to different "capstones".

If your child is taking Math 6 in 6th grade, that might be considered "normal". An accelerated course would be called Math 6/7, after which is Math 7/8. Then instead of Algebra 2 you could take Algebra 2/Trig.

So largely devoid of terms like "honors" or "slow" or "fast", but whatever you call it, kids understand what's happening — they are jumping ahead, going with the median, or falling behind.

As a relevant tangent, CA is considering proposals under the framework of Equitable Math to de-prioritize algebra as the capstone for middle school and calculus as the capstone of high school. Under the new framework, children will take classes with the same trajectory up to the last year in high school where they choose their own capstone, such as data science or calculus.
"You don't need Kubernetes, for a Linux user you can already build a custom solution quite trivially by setting up a custom package repo then build and distribute your application using apt, then configuring SysVinit to monitor your services, whilst using Ansible to configure iptables rules in combination with a simple load balancer you can manage yourself, then use syslog to monitor logs across all your machines whilst hand-waving away secrets management as a problem with 'serverless'"

Yes, you could. Some people do. Others don't, because even if you need a small portion of the features a turnkey solution is likely a better choice in the long run than hand-rolling your own mix of 15+ different technologies to achieve the same thing.
No offense, but this is a tad outlandish and completely ignores the people who are actually working to get us there. It's not Bezos or Musk, though the latter exploits his PR acumen incredibly to make it seem like he invented modern space travel himself.

We won't get to Mars with a bunch of private-money capitalists competing. Much like in the 50s and 60s, it's going to take a concerted effort of government sponsored and driven research.
I remember when IBM launched the PC and it looked ludicrously overpriced and lacking in "modern" features (like graphics and sound). I didn't buy one for myself until the 386 came out.

The article's claim about "IBM’s strategic error in not retaining rights to the operating system" begs the question if the PC revolution would have happened had Microsoft not owned it. I personally doubt it. While IBM had success up to the IBM AT, there really wasn't much revolutionary about them and they were stupidly expensive. The clones really made the PC a success. It's just tragic that the crap SW and HW won the market.
The causality goes the other way:

Because housing is not being built, existing houses are sure to increase in price, and so become a good investment for rich people.

You can't just do this with goods that are still being made.

I used to do limit orders - try to save some money by buying a stock when it's at lowest during the day.

Then I read a book by Fischer called "Common Stocks, Uncommon Profits"which suggested that when you have a long investment horizon, say 5-10 years, and you have done the research to have the confidence, a limit order gives you no real benefit.

Say a stock is $100 today. In 5-7 years you expect it to be $500, the benefits of doing a limit order are less significant.
For those curious, I wrote a review the other day called "BBEdit 14, and why you should care":

I think we need to look beyond the OS/system level, to the domain and industry level to be able to deliver tools for them as well. Most domains now have a computation element to them, including core sciences, and I feel the tooling is often lacking for doing domain-specific stuff. To give you an example in biotech, our scientists have written scripts for simple automation tasks for their day to day activities, things like programming pumps based on instrumentation parameters on a fermentor. Its a scripting sorta language that is part of a software package used to run the hardware. To a "real" programmer the language used feels like a joke, and usually its not something many non-technical people even attempt to use. This functionality would be improved 100x by PL and tooling experts working on it in conjunction with domain/SMEs.
In my view, people started developing for DOS, and it became a standard for small scale and casual developers. Even into the Windows era, a lot of utilities ran under DOS, such as early embedded development tools. Programming any Windowed OS was too hard, and we had only been programming for a few years, in relative isolation from one another and beholden to crappy documentation. Especially with tools like Turbo Pascal, writing "software" that looked like commercial software was relatively easy and got the job done.

Maintaining and growing any kind of platform becomes a whole new ball game when "what are its specs" is replaced by "will it run my apps?"
Yeah, there is heavy bandwagonning going around.
I still remember ~1985 paying $1,000 for 512KB of DRAM from suppliers listed in the back of Computer Shopper. Even clones were very expensive then, but not PS2 expensive.
For AWS, blast radius includes things like “developer fucked up on using SSM and exceeded the rate limit for the entire account”. Or “developer failed to set API Gateway rate limit on their trivial app and brought down everything else in the account”

> I'd say AirBnb increases travel by decreasing the cost of housing.

It decreases the cost of housing for tourists by decreasing the supply of housing, and thus increasing its cost, for locals.

> This is, in my view, a positive.

There's many ways where increased travel can be considered a negative such the increase in greenhouse gas emissions. I'd also consider if that positive truly outweighs the negatives on the locals of an area. Hotels work just fine, and are accounted for in city planning.
Geez--that sounds rough. I literally cannot imagine what that must be like (and hope I never have to). Good luck with everything.

Haha--I'm glad you also brought up the packages and waiting in line. It's such a strange annoyance. Like you said, you experience multiple surgeries per year, yet you still experience the same frustration with the packages! I find that incredibly...reassuring is the word that comes to mind. That hopefully means I'm not just some impatient, sulky person, and that we all experience similar day-to-day annoyances, no matter who we are or what our situation is.

Has having the heart defect had a noticeable "outcome" in your life? I guess what I mean is: Do you feel you've made different, better, more conscious choices about school, career, friendships, relationships, etc. due to your having this condition? I think most of us imagine that if we were suddenly diagnosed with a terrible illness or condition, we'd probably start immediately prioritizing things, maybe even quit our jobs, etc. But I'm also suspicious if that's really true. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
> And with a redundant PSU and a redundant network port, 99.99% uptime is achievable.

It's really tempting to believe that with the right hardware, we can put everything on one powerful and inexpensive box. A couple of problems with that:

1. What happens when you have to reboot to apply a kernel update?

2. The geographic location of that single box is itself a gap in redundancy. This is one thing I like about AWS and the other hyperscalers, with their regions that each have multiple data centers connected by a private network, with load balancers and other things spanning the region.

Well, you could include Craigslist in that, everything under the sun.
AirBnb/VRBO/Boooking.com all have their use.

The problem is when people rent/sublet their apt. in buildings that don't allow it, and cause nuisance to all.

Buildings should be able to opt out, and airbnb should respect it, and ban users that misuse it. But, i bet, in the name of profit, things get overlooked.

Anyways, if Airbnb is banned in a city, most of these apt will end up in VRBO/Booking.com/Craigslist, etc... etc... so it doesn't solve much. So, you have to ban all, and not just one. Is that realistic?
