I'd wager that the participants average funding will increase.

If you read journal articles, etc. you'll find a truly surprising number go out of their way to mention climate change, green initiatives, etc. when they lack good reason to do so. In particular, these words will take places of honour in the abstract or even the title while the rest of the article pays them scant and passing notice.

Why do this? Funding. Every generation of science has it's magical buzzwords. Most recognize them for what they are but, when the people with money can't decide on a difference in merit between what you're doing and what your competitors are doing, buzzwords can make the difference.

Is this another case of buzzword fund-farming? I'm not qualified to say, and you'd probably need to ask the participants in this initiative to track down somebody who is. That's why this sort of thing is so hard to stop.
I'd love to see a GIL-less python that competes head-for-head with serial python.

The Friendster autopsy: How a social network dies (2013)
I feel this way. However, living in the Bay Area carries a certain weight as a systems architect which allows me to charge more for consulting fees and ask for higher raises from my full time employer. Also, most of my professional network is here. I don't see myself leaving any time soon.
Sounds like you hung out with the wrong kids in high school.

A couple friends and I pulled off some stunts of comparable non-digital complexity. (This was the 80s, schools didn't have networks.) They were more of the logistics and misdirection sort; for instance, having your own version of the printed graduation programs delivered, instead of the boring, official one.

"As a society, every extra dollar spent on pricier energy is an extra dollar that can’t go to social programs, or to new start up, or anywhere."

I am not buying it, energy is cheap, so we waste it by shipping a pair of jeans three times across the world, to deliver fast fashion the consumer needs, so that on average they can wear some low quality bullshit made woth slave labour 7 times and then throw it away, to be shipped into some poor country for 'recycling' and have it end up in the ocean.

Or catch shrimp near our shores, ship it to philipines to be peeled, and then shipping it back.

Passivehaus standard was developed decades ago, it is several times better than the maximim energy efficiency rating in UK of 'A+'. The number of houses that meet either of these standard is a fucking 0%. Check newbuilds in Uk, half of then can't manage energy rating of C, its, disgracefull! Almost none of them have a heat recovery ventilation system or a heat pump.
We waste 20-30% of energy we generate on heating leaky homes.

My parents used to buy groceries at the market by weight, today a 300 g steak comes with 200g plastic packaging. 70% of my trash is plapackaging. The recycling rate is 9%. Efficient free market my ass.

The only place I know that sells food without plastic us an hour travel away, it's a hipster place with organic-artisian authentic beans at 1,000% markup. There is nobody who sells milk in a container I could return to them when it's empty, mo matter how much I pay.

What bancrupts an average consumer? Unaffordable housing, education and healthcare. None of these things are dictated by energy price.

Some retailers go worse, they had someone screenshot the QR code, then printed out a bunch of them at half-size so they could plaster them all over the place (at every table). But because they resized them using some dithering pattern, they start out slightly blurred. It gets worse when they're exposed to moisture (they're sticky-taped to the tables/counters) as the ink then bleeds. Scanning this is a pain.
While we may have some uncertainty about SARS-CoV-2 specifically, it seems clear to me that in the long run we'll need to treat coronaviruses in general much like influenza viruses. So, yes.

> But this [knowing that an internet service will behave exactly as advertised] fails to hold true for general purpose chains acting as a VM, including the front-runner Ethereum. Ethereum nodes can in theory filter modifications to the smart contracts they execute, but in practice, node operators have no reason to inspect or reject these upgrades, because they have relatively little stake in the success of individual contracts or their ecosystems. If an owner of a smart contract publishes a new change, nodes will mindlessly run it. Ethereum is blockchain AWS.

The author fails to define "VM" here. The only thing that makes sense is "Virtual Machine," which is a thing, but only barely makes sense in this context.

The fact that node operators have little incentive or ability to inspect or reject changes to contracts beyond what the protocol dictates isn't a problem in itself. That is, after all, the entire idea. Code is law. It doesn't matter how desperately a single miner might want to change the rules. At least in principle.

This is more of a problem on systems like Bitcoin where miners of side chains literally have no knowledge, from the protocol itself, of what the hashes representing transactions on other chains mean.

The bigger problem, not addressed in this article, is that the vast majority of things you want to do to make a block chain useful outside of financial transactions requires something called an "oracle."

What does that NFT actually secure? Go consult the oracle. Want to know the exchange rate of some non-ethereum token? Go ask the oracle. Want to know what that land title says? Go ask the oracle.

The problem is that an oracle is just a server. Maybe it's a group of servers - doesn't matter. Servers are corruptible in ways that Ethereum is not (or at least should not be) through hash chains and proof-of-work. Servers use logins, admins, and undocumented security procedures. And they offer little protection against Sybil attack.
So your opinions are not based on fashion but the opinion of anybody who disagree with you is? Is that actually what you believe?

One of the most frustrating things about this for me, is that this pandemic has highlighted just how important it is that the public have trust and faith in science, doctors, medicine, and in government agencies like the CDC. For far too long we've allowed private companies put their profits over human lives and it's hurt that trust. We have seen scientists taking money from corporations to publish bullshit studies for harmful products, doctors accepting bribes to give dangerous drugs to people who don't need them, regulatory capture weaken regulatory agencies and oversight, and time after time there are no meaningful consequences when it happens. It's hard to blame people for their skepticism. Yet even now I haven't seen a whole lot being done to change any of those issues. Instead it's immunity for the sackler family, dishonesty from the CDC, a doctor makes headlines all around the world for telling patients that their illness is caused by daemon sperm and alien DNA, but still has her medical license, etc.

I don't see how you conclude the virus adapted after 18 months due to six variants of concern existing. Especially because existing solutions are still very effective with the new variants, even if its somewhat of a decline. Even if you accept that as "adaption" its still a sample size of 1.

Never owned a guard dog, I see. My dog has almost zero reason to be scared of anything, she's massive and strong. She lets me know when anything suspicious happens nearby

"LRtDW is a series of articles putting Rust features in context for low-level C programmers [...] the sort of people who work on firmware, game engines, OS kernels, and the like. Basically, people like me."

Also, it seems like the author probably also wrote some low level libraries at Google... :)
As of now, these are the advantages.

1. Offload the work to another service.

2. Automatic retry in case of failed builds.

3. Get rid of Dockerhub's rate limit on pulls by using ECR(though ECR will also have a nominal charge if you are beyond the free tier and you can push to ECR yourself).

Beyond that, I am not really sure. I mostly just built it as a weekend project to see if anyone else would have use cases for it.

This article blames housing but doesn’t talk about crime and vagrancy. Stores get looted in broad daylight. Asian Americans have to fear physical attacks. Filth, needles, and feces are a regular sight. Some blocks are open drug dens. Criminals get released with barely a slap on the wrist.

It’s not just housing - it’s a city that has so overly committed to ideological policy making, like “restorative justice”, that it has sacrificed public safety and fails to meet basic expectations for quality of life. Between that, cost of living, and California taxes, I am surprised the polling numbers aren’t worse. For the bay to become attractive, it needs a more fundamental change - it needs a diversity of ideas and politics that it has been missing for quite some time.

> How do you memorize things you read?

Memorizing short-term is relatively easier, provided there's sufficient comprehension and, well, ... association memory.

However, to retain some new knowledge, even just concepts, for a longer term and having it ready on-demand for me is very much dependent on how relevant such knowledge is to my present state of "know".

If the new concepts are too detached, even if I do grock them now, the only thing that would stay for long term is some feel of familiarity. Actively refreshing such knowledge is often impractical, as long as it remains not relevant to life. There are always tons of new topics to discover!

So, basically, for me some new knowledge retains long-term when it's made relevant in life or directly extends some already relevant knowledge.

No shame in forgetting, just know where to find it again or whom to ask. It's not futile however, as in encountering new concepts, sometimes an extension from known concepts grows naturally, kind of further forming the worldview. Good terminology helps a lot in connecting and retaining the dots.

When you get very large you need both enterprise wide SREs that are responsible for consulting and approving architecture for reliability purposes AND localized per service or other small breakdown SREs to support small sets of services. How you break this down is tricky and there is definitely overlap.

Crappy attitudes towards support and reliability don’t scale, what you can get away with a few people keeping things barely held together stops working as you grow.
> NodeJs is the slowest runtime, after some time it becomes better(JIT?) but still is not good enough. In addition, we see the NodeJS has the worst maximum duration.

The conclusion drawn about NodeJS performance is flawed due to a quirk of the default settings in the AWS SDK for JS compared to other languages. By default, it opens and closes a TCP connection for each request. That overhead can be greater than the time actually needed to interact with DDB.

I submitted a pull request to fix that configuration[0]. I expect the performance of NodeJS warm starts to look quite a bit better after that.

That's all well and good for your personal environment. But I think it's a little crazy for a blog post that's supposed to be teaching things to beginners. "≤" is actually a different string than "<=". I think it's really misleading to render one series of characters as if it were another. For instance, julia actually supports ≤. There are others. On top of that, I don't expect a font to be able to correctly parse code. Sometimes "<=" happens in contexts other than "less than or equal".

Once your environment is configured and you're writing good types, the only errors you see are when you do something that violated your type rules - like calling myRecord.names gives you an error "Property 'names' does not exist on type 'PlayerRecord'. Did you mean 'name?'"

I don't know if the issues you're having is bad setup, or type system abuse. Try a typescript forum or chat group?

I'll admit that, coming from C++, I'm 100% bought in on the usefulness of type systems; but I can't imagine refactoring or making major changes in a project written in untyped JS.
Quick ASCII-2-ASCII compression saved about 3-5% of the examples, so there is even more room for optimization with dictionary-based compression. Trading the app size for more efficiency is justified in this case, I guess.
