I divided my infrastructure into two part.

1. Tricky and unfrequent changes:
- mail server, load balancer, database etc: for this I just write bootstrap.sh, rsync to server and run.
- It's literally just a
for server in `foor bar`; scp ; ssh ` done

2. Deployment/Frequent changes:
- docker-compose to spin up everything. It's super nice. Again, the deployment is done with a `rsync` then `docker-compose up -f docker-compose-prod.yml`

Eventually when deployment changes very frequent and need scale/ha I added in Kubernetes. K8S is way easiser to setup than you think and it handle all other suff(load balancer, environment variable etc).

And my deploy now become: `kubectl apply -f`

One trick I used is to use `sed` or `envsubst` to replace the image hash.

For backedup, I again, literally setup cronjob from an external server, `ssh` into database and run `pgdump`.

I also have a nice NFS server to centralize config and sync back to our git repo.

I used this whole setup to operate https://hanami.run an email forwarding service for the first 3 months before I added Kubernetes.

That's pretty much what most health authorities are saying though if you read more than 5 words of their statements? Starting with the AZ problems (which obviously weren't a thing in the US since it just stockpiled AZ, but a big topic in Europe) it's pretty much always has been "problems are rare, we continue to recommend it based on the benefit being way larger than the risk" (except in the countries that decided they don't evaluate it that way and restricted/stopped use). Same now with myocarditis. And promptly the complaints shift to "they are lying, the numbers are actually way worse than they say!".
> When environmentalist types rail against nuclear power, they reveal their true preferences. They care more about dismantling technological civilization than they do about reducing emissions. If they really cared about emissions as much as they claim to care, they'd support nuclear power out of necessity. They don't, so it's fair to conclude they have unstated goals.

There's an alternative explanation: that their "true preferences" and "unstated goals" are against nuclear weapons (and the pollution associated with their use), and nuclear power is seen as an enabler of nuclear weapons. (You also have to keep in mind that greenhouse gases are not the only type of pollution "environmentalist types" are concerned about.)
There are hardware limits that will make this less compelling than you imagine. I'll give 3 reasons.

Note: Magic Leap specs are from a quick google search and may be out of date. Even improved they'll have the same issues to a slightly lesser degree.

First - field of view:
The horizontal field of Magic Leap is 40 degrees. My primary monitor, a 16x9 32" monitor at about 3 feet from my eyes, is 42 degrees. So this can't even show me 100% of that, and definitely can't show me a second monitor in my peripheral vision.

Field of view is hard to improve as the optics are really close to your eyes and being head worn have limits of size and weight.

Second - Resolution:
The magic leap resolution is apparently 1280x960, significantly less than 1080p. That's not even close to the 4K monitor I'm typing this on. That low resolution has to cover the entire area of my monitor. More if I want to stretch the field of wider.

Picture yourself programming on a 1280x960 32" monitor. Just to see I set my system that way for a minute. PIXELS EVERYWHERE! Also, now I need to reset all my carefully curated windows.

It's hard to improve resolution. The displays are very small to keep size and weight down. HMD displays are generally about the highest of DPI that can be built.

Third - Brightness:
You can't draw black on a see-through HMD, all you can do is make the existing world brighter. The lenses are too close to the eye to be able to do any kind of masking or blocking of the ambient light.

So your display system won't be able to show much of an image over bright area; the text is either white over world color or background colored in a white field. It's not good for reading text and almost illegible at typical sizes in office lighting.

You can't improve brightness easily. These tiny displays make a lot of heat right near your head. Making them brighter means bigger heatsinks, taking weight and size, and more power with requires bigger batteries or shorter run time.

You can kinda cheat one a little with dark sunglass lenses to make the whole world darker. Or you can go to VR and just block the whole world and draw your interface over a video stream. The second option isn't really compelling because it for AR demos like Magic Leap shows.
“Nobody wants to have a discussion about [enter argument of the month here] because it's all BS partisan politics motivated by the right's outright disdain for all things liberal in America.”

That is one view, and I have heard the opposite (switch the words right with liberal in this statement).

Unfortunately the truth is lost in the medium of dialog, e.g. see the recent surveys showing how those that watch the media most are also the most misinformed about the risk of covid hospitalizations (>50%??).
Yes, but Pokemon Go was popular because it was on a phone you already had, because it was an extremely popular franchise, and because of the good luck of being a fad at the right time.

Nothing else took its place, and, while still being popular, it quickly faded from the status of global phenomenon.

It's a nice money making game, but not a hardware seller.
>In my personal life, I was deeply affected by the guidance that was given by authorities on 9/11 re: evacuation. The decision made by the police was pragmatic “we don’t know the downside of evacuation, which creates more problems as the situation at ground level is bad”, but killed more people than it saved. I have a close friend who is alive today because he chose to ignore the instructions, and has suffered from survivors guilt for not taking more people with him.

The Grenfell Tower fire in London is another example of this. If you look at the official timelines for the fire; when the fire was reported, when the fire spread, when the fire started killing people, one thing becomes clear: if building evacuation had begun when the fire was reported, then few if any would have died.

Official instructions for people living in London highrises was, and to my knowledge still is, to stay put. The building only had one staircase and everybody rushing for it might have caused a stampede... except that was bad advice even so. The fire was called in at 0:54 and isn't known to have spread to another unit until 1:15, more than twenty minutes later. If a building wide fire alarm had triggered an evacuation at 0:54, there would have been plenty of time to get virtually everybody out through that single staircase. The first reports of people trapped by smoke arrived by 1:30, nearly 40 minutes after the fire was called in; 40 minutes after the general evacuation could have begun. A general evacuation was not called until 2:47, nearly two hours after the fire was called in. Two hours too late.

My two take-aways from this: I have a lot more trust in American fire codes, particularly an appreciation for the importance of running general evacuation drills twice a year (the whole building clears out easily in five minutes.) And secondly, that I would never trust the British government's recommendations in an emergency; I would look out for myself instead and evacuate immediately, damn the consequences.

The best take on chiropractors IMO comes from physical therapists who tend to take a more pragmatic view on chiropractic. It can help but shouldn’t take the place of mainstream medical care.

In terms of one of the other comments about chiros being anti-vaccine, so are many doctors, nurses and other highly trained medical professionals. Again, my point isn’t that chiros aren’t quacks, it’s that they often resolve problems that mainstream doctors can’t or won’t, migraine being a good example. That says more about doctors and mainstream medicine IMO than it does about chiros who I acknowledge can be a bit like witch doctors or even worse, immoral witch doctors.
In general love the idea of these sorts of plastics improvements and hope it can solve a lot of the existing waste issue. And cut down on the awful micro plastics!

> is the objective of the mathematicians of more than theoretical value?

Why should it have any other value?
i guess it's just 20 years away then hahaha
That's an interesting question, but one that doesn't seem to have a really well defined answer.

The best I can come up with is that if you want to talk about the product of function types (A -> X) x (B -> X) then a sum type allows you to summarize this a single function type (A+B -> X). With just a product you could already do something similar for the type (X -> A) x (X -> B) which is equivalent to (X -> AxB), but with a sum type you have the dual variant as well.

And I suppose that with sum and product types together you can kind of express BNF like rules directly in the type system. Which makes things like expressing syntax trees a hell of a lot cleaner.

That said ultimately a type system is just a part of the language you can use to express certain rules, you can usually still decide on your own rules you'll just have to enforce them manually.

Seeing canvas used always makes me sad. Why can’t maps use SVG? If there are blockers for that, I’d rather see the web resolve those. canvas is a black box for screen readers, crawlers, the semantic web. You end up reimplementing a DOM anyway for accessibility, or not, if you don’t care about accessibility, which sucks.
You could quantize the coordinates, making them still look great for viewing on a screen, but insufficiently accurate for whatever the scrapers want to use them for.
The point of the comment you're replying to isn't that we don't just distrust the government now, it's that distrusting the government was expected of all citizens by the people who founded the country. We have an amendment that basically says "if the government becomes tyrannical, use guns to make them stop." Some people think that we are supposed to distrust them, always.
Many areas have the bans you allude to. The state could easily do the same.
A more logical explanation is that most country borders are on rivers, and nuclear power plants need a lot of cooling.
If this were true, wouldn't we see those US VCs come running to Europe with their capital? Especially now, when they can attend board meetings over zoom.

Even with wider geographic distribution of US startups, there are still a lot of fish in the US VC pond. A deep-pocketed firm could pretty easily differentiate themselves in Europe with aggressiveness and comp.
> Is there much mystery?

Yes ?

> SGD in a small number of dimensions is easy enough to understand

Is it?
I don't think nuclear power - fission or fusion - can ever be profitable on a capital return basis. They're the best bang for your buck if the cost of capital is zero and among the worst if it's greater than zero.

Nuclear physicists and engineers are smart enough that I think they could understand this problem if they spent a weekend grappling with it, but they're so specialised in their very difficult discipline that they never spend that one weekend.
:) nice to read all that

> If people really insisted on working full time 40 hours per week then they would have to spend that time building long lasting projects. Climate change comes to mind. CO2 reductions are basically permanent. Given enough reductions we will never hit 1.5C° of warming.

In some sense, because the problems are so abstract, it's good to think about extrinsic vs intrinsic rewards. I cannot empathize with the victims of 40 year out ecofashism, but I can nonetheless get a warm fuzzy feeling from whatever I'm doing right now.

https://vebaccount.substack.com/p/under-full-employment-your... is relevant.

> If we do away with the full employment culture then we still need to figure out a way to make supply and demand balance out on an individual level. A reduction in work hours per week is better than nothing but there are always people with high enough demand that it makes sense for them to work more. "you eat less, you work less" and "you eat more, you work more" on an individual level.

Absolutely. The idea that we suffering because "all carrot" won't suffice is, frankly ludicrous. Ironically, an all-carrot labor market would probably make it act in a more simplistic Econ 101 fashion than today.

Certainly there won't be an aggregate supply shortfall, as the fearmongers allege.

From wikipedia:

>The ship is estimated to contain about 1.14 million barrels of oil valued at up to US$80 million, which became a point of contention in negotiations between the Houthi rebels and Yemeni government, both of which asserted claims to the cargo and vessel.

Now, I'm no expert but let me venture a guess that the environmental costs of the spill and any subsequent cleanup will be significantly higher than $160M. Can we just pay both sides their $80M to let someone competent tow it out and safely dispose of the oil?

If no government is sufficiently smart to do that someone just start a kickstarter, I'll give you $20k.
Nuclear is very expensive, that's why even countries very positive to nuclear aren't happily replacing their old reactors. France did the math recently, 100 billion euros for 10 new reactors. The old ones are better from an economical point of view so it's much better to try and keep them going.
>> They are not required to disclose the contents of the fracking wastewater fluid.

> not disclosed to the public since they typically are proprietary formulas that each vendor creates on their own.

So, you’re agreeing with the poster then? Fracking wastewater is opaque and undisclosed to public.

> If the well integrity

My understanding was that the poster was talking about the fracking procedure and resulting wastewater, throughout their post. Nobody was questioning the integrity of concrete.
there's still a problem of toting around multi-ton structures which seems semi-obscene, but i a little interested in decoupling some. a car as a self contained structure, with it's own motive power system, with extensive energy reserves, seems wasteful. especially given how much cars just sit around.

i like to image the future as using things like the Citroen skate concept from a couple days ago[1], or other similar-ish strategies of using some kind of detachable tug or tractor that is summonable on demand.

Smaller, safer, modular reactors should have been our focus decades ago. We are several generations behind where we ought to be, because we haven't prioritized it. The zero-nuclear agenda, combined with cheap natural gas and a (to me) strange fixation on renewables* has held us back.

*I say strange, because renewables have only just now started to get to make sense at scale, despite the reliance on fossil fuels to provide a base load, when we could have had a clean grid by now without them had we tried.
It certainly could get a lot more “economy of scale”-y than a single bespoke reactor project. Indeed, look into small modular reactors—they’re designed to be built at scale in factories (rather than individual bespoke plants). The levels ed cost of energy for these is projected to be well below $100/MWh which compares favorably with fossil fuel sources.

"But what if the Grocery Store wants to ban Blacks! We can't have them decide what to carry, where to build, what prices to set!"

It's not unreasonable to think about the limits of what kinds of control communities can have, but as you've posed it, it's completely rhetorical.

Nobody is 'banning Blacks' from anywhere. The level of hysteria on these kinds of things is creaking into every discussion even when it's mostly inappropriate.

Vancouver has a busy city with X homes, Y flats, a certain infrastructure and that's that.

If they want to decide to not want skyscrapers everywhere, they can do that, and it has nothing to do with 'banning a group'.

'Tolerant and Progressive' Vancouver has made very material choices that have made living their excessively difficult for people living on the margins, and highly favourable to very wealthy non-citizens who want a place to keep their money safe. Which is their choice, but it's an odd one, more importantly, I don't think communities generally make choices to 'stop poor people', that's not part of the cards, rather policies indirectly do that.

If there is a systematic issue at play here, it may be the 'growth mindset' of new world city managers and businesses, all of whom want 'more sales, more revenue, more tax revenue, more leverage, more power' etc. 'to build that thing and provide that service', never really contemplating something resembling actual sustainability.
I’m increasingly finding great value in reducing complexity of simple tasks. I thought the push button rear door closer on my minivan was silly, but it came with it, so (shrug). I’ve grown to like it!

Reducing from a few steps plus a major context switch to just one step is valuable.
Ah, I was getting it mixed up with the thrift store.
From my understanding, OffscreenCanvas and double buffering are unrelated. OffscreenCanvas just lets you execute draw calls in a separate thread (in a WebWorker). I believe the browser already uses double buffering under the hood for drawing to a canvas element.

nuclear dispatching is mostly done over international distribution in UE. the requirements in more dispatchables power like gaz or hydro is'nt comparable with weather randomized energy sources with poor efficiency which usually require a 1:1 alternative dispatchables sources (gaz or hydro again). France electric energy mix is/was around 70-80% nuclear.

Get in for a few years and out for a lot of money would be nice. So far Huawei is respecting the local labour regulations (so you don't need to work 996) and it pays well. However if you have other concerns I'd advise drop the opportunity as I believe you surely can obtain similar offers from other companies.
Largely it cools the house, which is usually a desirable byproduct. Instead of solar energy being converted into thermal energy by the roof and then radiating into (and off of) the house, it's converted into electrical energy by the panels. We had a home energy audit guy come into our house and point an infrared camera at the roof, and you could very clearly see the outline of the panels as a detectable cool spot in the ceilings.

Half of the world's roofs are probably already black or at least dark brown - asphalt shingles, slate, vinyl, many wood varieties.
Fusion is different in that the math scales well with the size of the fusion plant you create (and also the power of the magnets you have access to). If it's technologically feasible to create a large enough fusion plant, it starts to be able to create ludicrous quantities of electricity compared to things like geothermal that have much harder limits.

Of course, "technologically feasible" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, but it is in the realm of theoretical possibility for a large scale fusion plant to be cost effective.
> > gas turbine for a pipeline compression station

> primary turbine/power system could be built efficiently enough to not throw that waste heat out the back in the first place

It sounds like this might be a situation where maybe an older turbine already exists for generating mechanical power (pumping), and the add-on kit is supposed to capture more energy without having to replace the existing systems?

Product types + nullability is the same as sum types if you treat it that way, but it's less nice because the data representation in memory will not be as compact, and you won't get any guarantees from your language that you didn't fuck up (set less or more than exactly one field). Plus also you have to use comments to indicate your intention.

Relatedly, a single field of an interface type + the ability to cast to a concrete type is very similar to a sum type; Go programmers will use this trick sometimes.

Sum type:

I can be A | B | C.

Interface thype:

I am ILetter. Types A, B, C implement ILetter.

Plausible in memory representation of sum type value: 8 bits for the type tag, plus max-size(A,B,C) bits for type.

Plausible in memory representation of interface type value: 64 bits for the type pointer and 64 bits for a pointer to A, B or C.

(Not as nice as the sum type!)
