The Wheego LIFE [0] was built with a lithium iron phosphate battery back in 2011. The body shell was Chinese, but the electric part of the car was built in the US. Apparently it was a crap car, but tesla definitely isn't the first US company to produce a car with lithium iron batteries.

That said, chemistry has come a long ways, the Wheego is more like a hotrodded golf cart than an actual car. That was the norm for 2011 though.

Last time the consensus was that "blue" (vegetables, fish, rice, few red and white meats) diet countries have the best quality of life and expected lifespan. If there really has been a major shift in this insight towards "plant based, little processing" then that goes a little beyond "the news is not good at reporting it" and goes straight into "everyone needs to have missed this". That honestly doesn't seem likely.
In finance, specifically in trading systems, event-driven is a natural fit and in my experience the default to which systems converge to.
Curious why you find it so fundamental. In my experience abstract algebras primary benefit was drilling rigorous proofs for group theory etc.

Between physics and comp sci I'd rate abstract algebras contribution to understanding as one of the least important contributors ( although AA does provide a rigorous framework underpinning these fields in one way or another)

From the linked article:

"They found a 13-tonne lithium battery inside a shipping container was fully involved and crews wearing breathing apparatus worked to contain the fire and stop it spreading to nearby batteries."

A fire literally inside a shipping container is a very specific thing that firefighters train for. There are even some unique tools for handling them (spray nozzles inserted through drilled holes.)

Not all PoW is hash based. Some, like Cuckatoo Cycle [1], are based on writing and reading random bits within hundreds of MB of memory, and ASICs for such PoW are dominated by SRAM, which can in principle be repurposed.

This is a pretty stupid hill to die on. Humans read code and forget authors too. Nobody cites 100% of the origin of their knowledge when writing new code. Most people don't cite anything. You could write a script that says "this repo is similar to these repos" based on copilots embedding space and it would be far superior to any typical human attribution.

I have a Brother HL-L2380DW. It's a basic monochrome laser with duplex and WiFi. Setting it up was easier than any of my prior laser-jet printers (Canon, HP, both of which always had flaky software and drivers).

My wife is South Korean so I'm biased. But I've been to Japan and South Korea and if you're looking for one of the most modern nations in the world, I strongly recommend you go to Korea. The only comparable country I've been to is the Netherlands or maybe Denmark.

In contrast, the US and Japan seem to be somewhat falling apart with a peak in infrastructure and buildings a few decades ago. It's not that bad of course but relative to countries like South Korea and the Netherlands I think you'll agree.

Also, in my experience Korea was way more ready to handle English speakers than Japan was. I was surprised how I felt so lost in Japan not being able to read or speak Japanese. (Of course I don't expect to go to another country and be catered to. It's just that I was spoiled by Korea. And I wanted to address any reasonable concern that Japan might be friendlier for tourists than Korea.) In contrast in Korea there was a lot already in English and all the service workers I met spoke English well.

"Event-driven architecture" only considers a

small subset of the computational events fundamental to

understanding computation.

Actor Theory is based on automatizing the "precedes" partial

order for all computational events.

Proving properties of computation al systgems can be

accomplished using Actors Event Induction for computational events.

I've been working on a contract for 6 months where the architecture is microservices and queues.

IMO: It's over-complicated. They can ship a change to a microservice while insulating the other services from risk, but that's just kicking the can for technical debt.

What happens is that, if a service hasn't shipped in a few release cycles, when an update is made to that service, we often find latent bugs. Typically they are the kind of bugs that could be found with simple regression testing; but the company put too much effort into dividing its code into silos. (Basically, they spent a lot of time dealing with the boundaries between their microservies instead of just writing clean, testable code with decent regression suites.)

---

IMO: Don't get too hung up on microservices and events. Focus on writing simple, straightforward code that's easily testable. Make sure you have high unit test coverage and a useful regression suite. Only introduce "microservice" boundaries when there's natural divisions. (IE, one service makes more sense to write in Node.js, another makes more sense to write in C#; or one service should run in Azure and another should run in AWS.)

This, BTW, helped immensely in a previous job. When I worked for Syncplicity, a major Dropbox competitor, we started with a monolithic C# server for most server-side logic, but we had a microservice in AWS to handle uploads and downloads. This helped immensely, because we ended up allowing customers to host their own version of the upload / download server. It was a critical differentiator for us in the marketplace.

There's still decent business in sharecropping Wix/Shopify/Salesforce/etc. Very quickly companies find that the out of the box stuff doesn't do 100% of what they want, so they need to pay to get that last bit and develop custom components..which yeah, anyone can then drag onto the appropriate pages, instead of having to pay someone who happens to know how to FTP things onto a server.

FYI to stock option noobs: 83(b) Election: is a provision under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) that gives an employee, or startup founder, the option to pay taxes on the total fair market value of restricted stock at the time of granting.

During this election you pay for your shares at the beginning (usually the cheapest strike price you will ever get). This lets you take advantage of capital gains rates. Do this! I also advise exercising if you have a 90 day window if the company has any type of profit or product, remember! you do not have to exercise 100%!

> Are all downstream consumers blocked until the DLQ is emptied
No other service should know about the state of another services DLQ

> do all consumers know how to deal with late-arriving events
In my approach in architecting event driven systems, this question is meaningless. For me some of the core tenants (for me) of architecting these systems are

1. Message ordering should not matter
2. Message delays should not matter (no temporal coupling)
3. Message replays should have no side effects

This means that Service B should have no knowledge of what happens in Service A. If something in Service A fails and gets sent to Service A's DLQ, it should have no impact on Service B. This often involves rethinking business requirements and processes to account for workflows that get interrupted - I've yet to find an insurmountable issue.

If however, we are talking about a message broker trying to deliver a message from Service A to Service B, failing and forwarding to Service B's DLQ, then there is a very simple solution. Have your message broker deliver messages to queues. Service B then processes and handles messages from the queue rather than having to immediately handle all incoming messages from the broker. This protects against a lot of failure modes. The only thing(s) that arrive at Service B's DLQ are exceptions thrown internally in Service B

I'm being somewhat facetious, but I want to live in a society where not being hyper focused on all forms of security at all times, and just being _safe_ is an ok way to live your life.

"It's easy so we'll do it" is not a defence of this practice. The only reason the security is needed at all is because of people like this. I'm not saying security isn't important, but being bad at security is not a defence of people who take advantage of that poor security.

It isn't an alternative, it is a necessary part of understanding the system. You get an event and you have no idea where it came from. That is great from a composability stand point, anything can become an event emitter. On the other hand if that event comes in with bad data, you have no way to correct the issue because you have no idea where the event came from. The more event sources become disassociated from the event processors, the more important logging and traceability become. Perhaps your component ships an event and the downstream event processor doesn't do what you expect. Without good logging you loose the ability to treat the down stream as a black box, you will have to dive into the code to figure out why it is rejecting your events. Where as a simple "Dropping event x for reason y" in the logs is incredibly useful.
That's what I meant by "keeping it somewhere" ;).
I have worked in places where event-driven architectures are a necessity (we're talking thousands of real-time systems being integrated together).

If you want to use event driven + microservices, first make sure microservices make sense. Event driven is just a cool way to tie monstrous collections of services together if you have to go down that road.

If you can build a monolith and satisfy the business objectives, you should almost certainly do it. With a monolith, entire classes of things you would want to discuss on hackernews (such as event-driven architectures) evaporate into nothingness.

This is not a comment on the article itself, but Magee's conversations with philosophers were the introduction (along with Russell's History) to the subject for me, and recommended to anybody interested in learning a little about it all; illuminating discussions between significant contemporary philosophers about the great figures of the past.

The conversations themselves were a print rendition of the original TV series (itself based on a radio series I think) which I guess was a precursor to the today's youtube public square interviews between the great and the good.

There is no consistent process anywhere in any of the interviewing loops, it is all random and made up as everyone goes along. There isn't any deep insight or thoughtful discussion and lots of work being put into the process, it is an afterthought and squeezed in during the day between other fires which are burning, none of which are good for the interviewee. This has been my observation at about every company I've worked for since I've been in IT.

Sustainability requires wealth. You mention Dominican mahogany. Have you ever seen pictures of the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic? They're really shocking! No trees in sight on the Haitian side; forest as far as the eye can see on the Dominican side. Why is that? Because Haiti is so much poorer than the Dominican Republic that trees are burned for firewood.

The environment is cleanest and best in richer countries because rich people can afford to care about it. That's right, poor people who worry about where their next meal is going to come from could not care less about the environment.

So if you want the 8bn people of this planet to care for it, we have to make them richer than they are.
