Think of it this way: the establishment is merely not a single source of misinformation anymore. Misinformation was always easy to propagate. I'd say easier, in fact. See e.g. Iraq war - 100% disinfo, parroted uniformly and enthusiastically by the entirety of the mainstream press.

Except in the past you could create (via mass media controlled by, quite literally, five people) an airtight, completely impenetrable narrative and feed it to the public, and now the public can get both the information, and conflicting disinformation elsewhere. Oops. Bet the CIA did not think of that when they helped create Twitter and Facebook.

In my opinion the problem is the insistence that money should earn 0% interest. Yes it earns positive interest rates when there are borrowers willing to pay them, nothing wrong with that. However, when there are no borrowers promising 0% interest then that is just how it is. There is nothing special about 0% interest that turns it into a human right.

People work too much, then earn too much, then save too much money instead of saving in real assets and then they complain that their money is eroding in value, effectively admitting that they worked too much. Money has become a high score and its increasingly exclusive nature made it a status symbol.

It has lead to absurd situations where people "finance" their retirement by not having children. Who's going to work for them when they are old?

From my limited exprience in Swift, it does have functional parts, although I don't know if that's the main focus of the language, or just a nice thing to have.

It would be super handy for the use case you mentioned as your inspiration for the product, connecting to VPCs. We've been looking at AWS Client VPN for this reason alone. This would let us control what peered VPCs a user was able to talk with, or even what subnets on specific VPCs they could access.

Golang is the top dog for Lambda IMO. The AWS Lambda SDK for Golang includes the entire lambda runtime so you can deploy a single 20mb binary w/ an Alpine linux base (speaking of the ECR backed lambdas) and that’s it. With NodeJS you either have to use the AWS provided centos based images which weigh in at several hundred MB or do some multistage magic to build a minimal Alpine image including the lambda runtime and AWS SDK which altogether still weighs in almost a hundred MB.
Respect to UNC here, I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop in this article with a disclosure that she was fired, but they haven't done it (yet).

I think in many cases, it's that outsiders get hired in at a higher salary while doing seemingly the same job. I could understand how that would make all existing team members feel like they also need to switch jobs to get a raise.

Especially, it seems, because software engineers are quite shy about negotiating in general. I know several people who are grossly underpaid in my opinion, but they prefer to avoid the discomfort of disagreeing with their manager. Still, I believe that's a bad long-term strategy for the manager. It makes them extremely easy to hire away if I can offer them our usual salary and it's double of what they currently earn.

Do you know what states are? Of course you do. So then you know that executing a line of code in one state could cause behavior that won’t occur in another state. Code coverage doesn’t say anything about state coverage.

You’ve heard of table lookups? Of course you have. So then you know that different results will come from a lookup that is based on a different query or hash key. The lookup is one line of code. But maybe you visit the code hundreds of times before you hit upon the result that gives you bad data which tanks the rest of your algorithm.

Come on, man. You know what I mean. Another example: I once wrote a table comparison routine in ObjectPal. I tested it and it seemed to work, but the first time I compared a table with embedded bitmaps I got “Object of type bitmap cannot be compared with <> operator”

Ah, when I was a teenager, this was (and still is) one of my favorite albums. A band changes direction completely, creates something totally new and loses the interest of their old fans. There are three albums that somewhat relate to each other, where an artist or a band changed their direction completely and created something the fans hated first, finding their audience much later.

King Crimson: Discipline. A mixture of quirky pop which at the first listen sounds simple, but when you dig into it turns into something completely different. Nice tight package of brilliant tracks, played by extremely talented musicians. Math music you can hum in the shower. The band kind of disappointed their old fans coming from the album Red to this one. I like both albums a lot.

Talk Talk: Spirit of Eden. Pop megastars got all the studio time they wanted. Instead of creating another mega hit after The Colour of Spring, they hired tens of musicians, turned off all lights from the studio and sampled the mistakes and off-takes together creating a new genre, which was later known as post rock. You kind of sink into their world when listening to this, finding new things even after decades of listening. 20 years later Radiohead did a similar change of direction and got really popular. The record company sued Talk Talk for their album in the 80's.

Miles Davis: On the Corner. Oh how the jazz audience hated this album. Miles wanted to get the young black audience, and created a funky kraut masterpiece of an album. Cut from tape by the mighty Teo Macero, it sets a standard of sampling used by the hip hop artists a decade later. As all the other albums I mentioned here, put some good headphones on and it's crazy how you can sink into the music. Repetitive in a similar way as Discipline, but instead of looking into pop and post punk, this one takes its influence from funk, krautrock and jazz.

If you have a mind that can appreciate any of these albums, the others will tickle the same cells in your brain.
I was an atmospheric scientist, but I never got in too deep in the modeling — if I had, I’d have actually received the PhD lol. But yes, data assimilation very important in weather models. You know what’s going on out in the oceans where instruments are sparse, because land measurements are advected (blown) over the ocean. You still need to assimilate to correct to IRL physics.

The data itself is noisy. Bad readings aren’t uncommon. Common hygrometers (humidity sensors) have hysteresis, wind is turbulent, radiosondes stop transmitting in midair. Some data is really weird, like GPS occultation data, which gives temperature mixed with humidity along a 200km long cylinder. Suffice to say that while higher order approximations in modeling have helped, DA is super important because measurements are both sparse and flaky.

But that’s why I asked: numerical errors are typically dwarfed by measurement errors. So it shouldn’t be worse than a member of an ensemble model, right?
> Especially against php it can win some market share since Ruby is perceived as a cleaner language.

I don't think that's how people choose languages. Ruby had a lot of momentum in the US, but never really got that in Europe. PHP is very popular here, and I think most of the time people will choose it over Ruby because that's what people around them know, and that's what popular.

Python can do basically everything Ruby can, (web and scripting mostly), but can also handle pretty much anything else. If you're starting out today, it's probably a better choice than Ruby.

> Also to this day Node hasn't come up with a big Rails like framework.

In a way, React is the big Rails-lile framework. Just like with Rails the frontend wasn't the most important part, with React the backend isn't the most important part.

I do agree that Rails and Ruby getting faster is good. Having a JIT usable with regular code is honestly great!

So much for freedom of speech... it has become a knee-jerk reaction to call everyone who criticizes the current policies of the Israeli state an antisemite - as if the one had anything to do with the other.

"What does work mean to you?

Probably something like Monday morning commuter traffic, dreading getting out of bed, train delays, staying late doing unpaid work, stress, only getting told when you do something wrong rather than right, and a boss that got where they were by just saying yes sir no sir

I, like most other people in this world found myself in the very same position that you likely are. I grew up thinking the world was all about money - unfortunately for me the school system had failed to recognise my very real but non-academic talents. Therefore you won’t be surprised to know that I failed all of my GCSE’s and went to the bottom of the employment pile.

It was when I left school I started learning. I realised that education comes in many forms, that people’s abilities are so varied and unique that to try and push and grind them into little cogs whose only purpose is to serve the larger economic machine is so often a terrible waste of life.

While there is a point in representing the state of the infrastructure as SQL to enforce type safety and other constraints, I still don’t understand what are the _real_ advantages over the current tooling. All the key advantages listed there, including type safety and cloud providers defined constraints, are already well covered by the actual battle-tested tools and frameworks.

Here are some areas where I identified some red flags regarding the present approach. These are key aspects of the everyday life of an infrastructure engineer.

Usability. The SQL abstractions simply don't scale to make the human<->machine mapping work. You would need another layer of abstraction to map that infrastructure into a state that is easily readable and understandable for our brain. On the other hand, the more consecrated tools use building blocks that both map well to be translated in infrastructure state _and_ are easily understood by our brain. Add some stored procedures to the party and you’re lost in the weeds.

Versioning. What would be the easiest way to extract from the SQL storage the difference between two versions of the infrastructure? With the traditional tools, that is an easy diff which reveals changes in a matter of several keystrokes with no extra layering.

Reusability. How easy is to port infrastructure code to other cloud providers? How easy is to define resource templates?
That depends. If you don't physically exaggerate yourself, you generally don't feel anything, perhaps your arm is a bit painful and that is it.

But your doctor might have told you to not do sport for a day. I never had any adverse effects before and consequently ignored that advice after a tetanus vaccination. Completely knocked me down the next 2 days.

This vaccination has been administered on a very large scale, so it shouldn't necessarily discourage anyone if there are some adverse effects. Maybe the advice against doing sports must be extended to wanking, but side effects can be a result of circumstances.

Perhaps certain kinds of shallow automated checking will become obsolete over time.
