Thank you so much for sharing this!

We launched Alicorn to focus on one thing only: multicloud. Digger value prop was less clear. Under the hood Alicorn uses same Digger engine, but adds PaaS mode as a starting point and Kubernetes to be truly cloud agnostic.

Understanding targets docs fixed- thank you for pointing that out!

The missing bit for cloud agnostic specs is targets. It's essentially a meta-template, collection of "Terraform generators" that take in higher level stack definition aka "infrastructure interface" and producing Terraform specific to a given cloud provider. You don't have to provide it, but you can customise Targets, or built entirely bespoke - it's essentially TF + basic templating on top.

An idea (perhaps silly one) that I had to boost IPv6 adoption - remember the old web 1.0? Interesting web sites and stuff you don't easily find today? Let's create a unique experience that's only accessible on sites that are IPv6 only. Not to exclude people - even with IPv4 only from your ISP you can tunnel in. Ideas?

If you've got a pile of solar cells sitting around you might as well use them to make the doors too.

I agree, though, that even if it only draws 500W then this thing is only going to be driving for a few minutes a day on that amount of panels.

The more I read about this guy the more it reads like a cult leader rather than a scientist.
Exactly. And as a developing country, they (hard guess) do not have the widespread pre-existing infrastructure like developed countries; and therefore can easier to adopt to it.

Another factor - mobile has a way greater market share in India, than mobile has in Europe. It’s easier to enforce IPv6 as a mobile carrier

This kind of answer really ignores almost all of why these languages have done well. They are easy to learn. Relatively speaking, especially at the time they were gaining popularity, they were far easier to learn gradually and still be productive than almost everything else available.

Their communities adopted explicit "this language is for DOING shit understandably, not golfing, not squeezing cpu cycles, not researching type systems, not timtowtdi, etc." That helped tremendously.

In pythons case, it was very easy to wrap up C and C++ code and lift it into a nice environment with a repl and everything else you need to experiment. This put it in an excellent position to grow along with the scientific community. Numpy was a huge asset here.

The rise of rails, Django, heroku, MacBooks as the dominant coding environment etc all fostered an environment where coding went from being nerd shit to being fashionable. This ushered in the era of "people who code for reasons other than being huge fucking computer nerds," in which the benefits of Python and Ruby mentioned above became even more relevant.
Spotify is full of 'user generated content' in the form of public playlists. Some people don't bother to set their playlists to private and we get to witness some people's bad taste (or good taste!) in music.

Most people don't even use pseudonyms on Spotify and you can just search for their full legal name and see what music they like. It's an interesting heuristic to look at if you're playing the dating game too; 'Does this person like the same music as me? Let's find out!'
If you use macOS as host, make sure that '-enable-kvm' is replaced with '-accel hvf'. Another useful argument is '-cpu host'.
I would guess it is cheaper to not hire people and send in a small task force to up a downed pump on average. How often does this happen? would an additional sensor or camera help cut those down?

Having a team of people manually checking sounds wasteful. The 5% they miss is cheaper than the 95% more they spend.

My guess is that governments deal with people who try to abuse the law in all sorts of way everywhere. Creating small laws for these things is like playing cat and mouse with millions of mice. If you create a law that is too general to catch many at the same time then you risk hurting legitimate businesses.
Dealing with an asteroid threat doesn't require hundreds of millions of people to get off their asses and actually do something about it. That's the difference.
I think you mean sparse or unadorned rather than boring– boring minimalist designs miss the point of minimalism. The idea is to create beauty using the form of the objects themselves and how they interact with their surroundings rather than adding purely decorative elements. A picture of open ocean or desert can be beautiful, entirely unadorned, and a picture of a carnival can be boring as hell. I'd certainly call Gottfried Böhm's Brutalist church sparse or unadorned in contrast to St. Basil's Cathedral, but I'd call it anything but boring. (Personally, I find them both breathtaking.)

Same thing with minimalist lives, ideally!
Not an entirely new idea...

With that clarification, I think we agree on content, but disagree on terminology. "Root cause" tends, in my experience, to make people think of a singular causal path (sometimes even called a chain) which just... stops, at some convenient place. And this is "the root cause".

I strongly oppose that picture of failure.

These droughts were anticipated, but here in California preparing for climate change means preaching at others, and setting up a carbon exchange. Not a single new reservoir has been built since 1979. It's impossible to take California seriously about much of anything, but especially not regarding the environment:

"In 1979, California’s population was a little more than 23 million. Today, it is more than 39 million. Yet in that entire time, California did not construct one additional, large-scale water storage project – meaning water infrastructure that once suited the state’s irrigation, livestock, and human needs has become chronically inadequate to meet its essential tasks."

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/another-california-dro...

Not only does the state not prepare, but thanks to the record-setting wildfires of the past decade, the amount of carbon and soot pumped into the air has probably offset any gains that had been made. They're really just stupid out here.
This is mentioned at the end of the article.
Another practitioner, my 2c on high frequency trading:

1. Market making (providing two sided liquidity in a market), and in general providing liquidity (even one sided) is a real benefit that (some) trading firms provide (e.g. Virtu, but also many proprietary shops).

The market making function solves the time-mismatch between client A who wants to buy now, and client B who would want to sell in 1 hour.

The liquidity provision is what allows, through pay-for-order-flow, retail investors to get the best current price for AAPL through their Schwab app. Not only that, they do not have to worry about the order execution (how long would it take to get filled), and their fees are low or 0 (because someone is paying Schwab for the order flow).

2. A similar, but slightly different trade is what ensures that ETF are priced "correctly". This is also a boon for retail investors.

In order to ensure the ETF price are in line with the price implied by their underlying assets, someone need to do the "index arbitrage" trade. Again, retail gets a nice useful product (e.g. SPY which tracks S&P500) instead of having to buy a lot of stocks (naively, 500).

3. And then there are directional trades, which are basically trying to "arbitrage away" moves in correlated prices. Is there a value in this? Maybe, but it is just accelerating existing trading realities. Someone would have done it anyway.

I am guessing the perception that the industry adds no value is because of stories about the ridiculously low latency number - trade in the blink of the eye, reacting in nanoseconds, etc.

And I tend to agree.

If the exchanges changed the way they matched orders (e.g. instead of First In First Out/time priority ["who came first"]) to a procedure that introduces randomness that eliminated the advantage from nanosecond/microsecond differences, it would make no difference to the world.

The prices would still be "good enough" (no retails participants care if the prices settled within 100 nanosecond, 1microsecond, or 1 millisecond).

So to sum up, does it bring value? Yes, but it does not mean there is no silliness involved.

> AI automates lots of unpleasant manual work.

Github Copilot is a great example of this IMO. When you're writing code it seems to be on a 90/10 of 80/20 split where 10-20% of your code is the actual important bits that you have to pay attention to and the other 80-90% is all the common patterns, components and conventions around the important code.

AI is fantastic for the 80-90% of that code that I really don't care about. I can focus my energy on the 10-20% of the code that is really important and let the AI code the other 80-90% that is mostly glue and filler.
Prior to 1960, famine and war did limit population for thousands of years.

Famine was an ever-present issue since virtually everybody on earth was a farmer, and one bad crop could be fatal to their family. That's still true today in much of Asia.

The data period you're referencing is skewed by the US policing the globe since 1945, preventing major wars.

Ironically, the country thought of as a new superpower, China, today imports about half of its food. So they face remarkable food insecurity in 2021, and rely on their top adversary for much of it.
It's generally called 'Attract mode', and at least from what I recall from the golden era arcade games (from the mid '80s up until the mid '90s) it's never an intro video, rather something done completely in-engine. Unless you're thinking lasergames, but that's ... all video.
I've spent 9 hours coding firedating.me (my hobby project and community of people interested in FIRE (Financial Independence / Early Retirement) looking for friends and a partner).

Features:
1) Searching for multiple specific genders. Previously this was only 'one gender' or 'any'. However, often people want to search for 'one gender' + Non-Binary. Unfortunately, the code didn't support the new functionality well, so I had to refactor a lot (especially tests). Now it should be much easier to maintain though.

2) Searching by children preferences (whether their matches have and want children). This just reused logic from (1).

Overall, it is surprising how much complexity there can be in a dating site :)

The interesting question is, does India have enough critical mass to actually launch local IPv6-only services?

A large carrier could even use IPv6 as a competitive moat by offering/sponsoring/investing in popular local IPv6-only services.

Competitor’s customers would be locked out because they don’t have IPv6, not because they were blocked. Kinda hard for competitors to cry foul to the regulator, since the only reason their customers can’t reach the service is that they themselves haven’t been keeping up with the times.

I got to use briefly some iphones starting from 3GS, and honestly, I like how smooth they feel in day-to-day usage, but the biggest drawbacks for me is absence of full featured adblocker (ublock origin), itunes hassle, and no alternative way to install apps (app store only).

I also consider my phone to be a pretty dumb tool, but I also occasionally browse web and do banking with it, so I'd love to use iphone if Jailbreak wasn't so fragile. Instead, I have to set the phone aside myself from the scratch :)
That's the ETOPS (Extended-range Twin-engine Operations Performance Standards) rule: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETOPS

It's mentioned in the article, and it didn't just kill off 3-engine planes, but 4-engine planes like the 747 as well. The Airbus A350 XWB has a ETOPS-370 rating, meaning it can fly up to 370 minutes (over 6 hours) on a single engine, or between any two points across 99.7% of the world.

I appreciate the history. It doesn't make much of a difference from an ignorant end user such as myself, but this information is at least pretty interesting to me.

I've normally categorized languages into imperative (, Fortran, C, Basic), functional (Haskell, Scheme, F#...etc), object oriented (Java, Python, Ruby, C#, JS...etc), concatenative (Forth, Factor, 8th), logic (Prolong, MiniKanren), array (APL, J, K). I guess TRS in entirely its own thing?
Yes that's right. Almost none of these people have built everything themselves. Design, copy writing, marketing, development, accounting are just some of the things that can be outsourced easily.

Uhm, Venmo.

Well, recently there are some changes to Venmo, but on its original form "social media for money"? Like, in other countries that would be a lawsuit (or more likely a government intervention). Apart from Venmo, I haven't heard or used a money-transfer (or equivalent) app that just shows your trail of payments publicly. In some countries, an equivalent system is either operated by a consortium of banks (a la Netherlands' iDEAL or Canada's Interac) or controlled by the central bank.

If that's true (which I doubt), the US military is fantastically bad at their job.

Low estimates of the cost of the Iraq war put it at 185k dead iraqi civilians.

I believe that it is much more likely that the US military simply doesn't care much about civilian deaths incurred whilst it seeks useless vengeance. This satisfies Occam's Razor, too.
Has there ever been faster global vaccine deployment(s)? Did we have ANY coronavirus vaccines 2 years ago? Frankly an asteroid collision can either be mitigated at the nation state level or not (positive cooperation of course helps).
Yep. I saved that text as I was passing through the article to say something along these lines.

To bend over backwards for the article anyway, there may be some merit to the idea that
“ Wings on an aircraft with rear-mounted engines can be simpler since they didn't have to support the extraneous weight.” —- but they left out the language: “when on the ground”!

Everything you say is right, and captures the driving concerns of the design much better. But perhaps there is some possibility of optimizing (the given overall rear engine design) a bit more for a no lift load case when the engines aren’t there on the wings because when producing no lift, you have no “dead load” to counterbalance with attendant stresses going opposite to what they do under lifting conditions. Eh? I know it’s a stretch.
I have a couple of Arduino projects that do 5 or more simultaneous things. Temperature sensors busy with a conversion, A/D converters taking readings, timers ticking, serial ports being watched for characters and so on.

You can speak of "hard realtime" but all of this stuff works just fine in a polled fashion, just get through your main loop quickly and don't block on anything. With nothing much to do the main loop cycles 5-10K times per second even on simple AVR328.

And then you have readable, easily maintained code without gnarly interrupt handling, realtime threads and all that.

Need microsecond level hard realtime performance? Then don't do that. Though my superficial reading is that you can partly escape from the Arduino environment to do that too, without having to give up all of it. Need microwatt level power consumption? Then definitely learn to program the bare metal. I haven't had to, yet.

Here's one of my less complex Arduino projects but the only one finished to a "show it off" quality. Realtime? Too limited by the Arduino paradigm? You be the judge..

https://github.com/MarkusWandel/battery-tester

I have to say, to get practical use out of the Arduino, you have to unlearn the "delay" function. If you never block on the main loop, you can do anything.
