>I mean JS used to be slowish and until V8 came

There was JS Engine performance war before Chrome v8 came around. From JavaScriptCore to whole bunch of monkeys [1] from Mozilla. Google v8 just makes the competition super heated and every one of them were working around the clock trying to out compete each other on the latest benchmarks. ( That was the dark era when Browser only cares about JS benchmarks scores and nothing in real world )

It would not be an exaggeration to say all the man hours on JS JIT is more than Perl, Ruby and PHP's VM combined. That is why I often said Ruby is the only Top 10 language that gets little to no funding and backing of FAANG. So both YJIT and Sorbet are much needed contribution from Stipe and Shopify. Along with help from Github and Gitlab ( hopefully :) ).

The VMs that gets more resources than JS would be JVM and .Net. And JVM is a monster on its own. Easily a multi billion dollar of investment over all these years. Or something using less man hours and resources like LuaJIT. But then Mike Pall is a super human.

Replace kindness with LOVE.

God is the totality of the universe, the Truth.

We embody God and comprehend the universe using our 5 senses (some access a 6th) which give people a connection to Truth and nature of reality.

We have FREEDOM to operate our bodies on a spectrum, free will of God. We are the universe witnessing the universe. Freedom sets off action which could be labeled "good or evil" based on the morality of the times. The strongest bonds form in LOVE.

LOVE drives voluntary cooperation from atoms to cells, to bodies to masses. Another name is the law of attraction.

I liked Mesos when I worked on it, and it's been replaced by more modern tools like Nomad, but every time I have to work on k8s it's .. well it's being promoted like a cult, has a cult following and I think the whole thing is set up to suck up complexity and layering.

How do you deploy a thing to run on k8s?

One would think you deploy a manifest to it and that's it. Like yaml or json or hcl or whatever.

No. The built in thing is not good so someone wrote Helm.

So you deploy helm manifests on there?

No. Helm is not good either, you need helmsman or helmfile to further abstract things.

How do you do networking?

Layer a service mesh with custom overlay networking that abstract upon k8s clusterip.

jeesh. why?
Those people are distributed across the nation. If they were all in Columbus or Detroit you'd have an argument but in reality they're probably distributed roughly the same way the general population is.

There are ~150k voting precincts in the US. 300k people across the nation is probably on the order of a dozen at the most effected precincts. Opening half an hour earlier and closing half an hour later would have a larger effect on ensuring people get to vote.

What motives does the CEO, union, FAA have in all this?

Obviously, they all desire a "return to normalcy". The CEO wants a better bottom line. The union wants to avoid fines and penalties. The FAA has political stakeholders that don't want any rumors of anyone against their mandates.

They all desire the same outcome. I would factor that in to whether their being 100% truthful about everything.

> Second, political polarities in Canada that tend to favor concentrating political and economic power along the cities of the St Lawrence instead of Alberta.

While the proverbial / meme border between the US and Canada is the 49th parallel, in fact 72% of Canada's population lives below that line. The West (Prairies, BC) and North make up 28% of the population.

50% of the population live in Montreal (N46°) or south of it.

If each citizen's vote is counted equally, is it surprising that most of the Members of Parliament represent most of the population?

As far as I remember from trying last time a few years ago, Docker Swarm does not support rebalancing the load of containers and requires either manually issuing a command to do that or merely initially balances where containers are started. It this still true? And what about when you have state, which you would need to move between nodes, to make a container work elsewhere?

However I do wonder if it’ll turn out that these higher dimensional geometric problems turn out to have the same structure as Godel’s proof. That the higher dimensional geometric structure is complex enough to represent their own foundation.

> The Linux way of installing the apps is merely a convenient tradition. You can still put the app files anywhere and run. It will put its configuration files wherever the developer wanted them (conventionally the app dir is meant to be immutable and the files are meant to be stored under the user's home dir though). In fact many apps (incl. Chrome and PyCharm actually are installed the Windows way under /opt which is an equivalent to C:\Program Files\).

Let's say it isn't the idea of religion I got growing up. There was no one around who could make a convincing case for Christianity, so I and everyone I knew thought religious people were completely delusional.

As I (very) slowly try to reduce my ignorance around the topic, I find that uncovering a more traditional understanding of it reveals something much more rich than I was led to believe. That's precisely my point :)
Eastern philosophy isn't impenetrable, and people who cannot penetrate it aren't hampered by cultural difference.

Even for natives of those cultures, penetrating that philosophy often takes years of spiritual practise and training. The reason is that it isn't about ideas, it's an actual body-mind training and transformation of being. It isn't something you just sit and talk about and discuss, although it can include that, but also it must come with actual implementation to occur.

That's the main difference I've noticed between western philosophy and eastern philosophy which makes them difficult to integrate. The former is almost always understood by the experience of so-called "ordinary beings" and communicated in terms of intellectual arguments, whereas the latter cannot really be understood unless you actually physically and spiritually transform your very being.

For example, I used to practise Soto Zen, and Dogen's philosophical writings are very popular there. Western philosophers, or just general non-practitioners, absolutely bash their heads against his writing, it's just so difficult to wrangle and there's no connection. In Soto Zen we understand it by sitting zazen (seated meditation). Literally, the only way I know to understand it is by doing meditation practise. Then next time you read it and you have a deep connection with it that you can't explain in a way that someone who hasn't had that connection would understand. Western philosophy seems to not be compatible with those kinds of transformations. If it cannot be explained in a way that is somehow independent of the observer's own practise, then it is not considered rigorous, but also such a thing is impossible when talking, for example, about Zen.

Thank you for the ideas presented, I appreciate the time taken.
You're just using a definition that none of the papers I've read use when trying to make a useful distinction. Asymptomatic as a term is distinct from presymptomatic the moment presymptomatic is used, or there would need to be another word for those who remain asymptomatic, and that word is, unsurprisingly, asymptomatic.

> Whether the infection itself becomes symptomatic later (which, as you've referenced, the research strongly suggests will happen) is of no relevance to the discussion.

What's actually irrelevant is talking about asymptomatic infections - defined as those which do not become symptomatic - as if they do become symptomatic. Again, I'm yet to find a paper that does this. Whether or not an infection is more likely to become symptomatic or not is not relevant here, nor did I make reference to any such likelihood, because it's not relevant.

I can't tell if you're quibbling because you don't want to accept a minor correction or because you haven't bothered to read any of the literature.

Organic maps isn't there yet IMO. OSMand is huge, but it's the only app to match Google Maps features.

I can also recommend BRouter (with OSMand) for bike navigation. It's ugly and hacky, but once it works, bike navigation is much, much better than Gmaps'. E.g. it's not sending you down cobblestone roads all the time.
> but all the clients our Kubernetes team works with all want separate clusters or testing, staging and preproduction.

And I think that's one of the biggest issues with how people use Kubernetes these days (another candidate being insisting on drive-by deploying a cluster from scratch instead of deferring to cloud providers or a dedicated platform team that can plan for long-term maintenance).

Kubernetes thrives in multi-tenant environments: you get huge resource savings and vastly simplified operations. Everyone in your organization gets access to all clusters, and they can just as easily deploy experimental best effort jobs or their development environment as they can deploy and/or inspect production jobs. Well set up quotas and priority classes mean that production jobs never run out of resources, while less important stuff (batch jobs, CI, someone's pet experiment) can continue to run on a best effort basis, just keeps getting preempted when production wants more resources.

You can even continue to have hardware separation between highly sensitive and fully untrusted jobs by using taints and tolerations, if you feel that's necessary. You still get one control plane instead of five different ones.

Read my sibling comments.
Your comment is a perfect example of what’s wrong with “The German Way” of thinking about innovation.

Instead of inventing the future, we want to maintain the past.

That’s why Tesla was invented in the States and China has brought our Transrapid to the market.

We used to be a people of inventors who embraced the possibilities that technology provides to shape the future. That’s why the automobile was invented here. The bicycle. And so much more.

Today we just want to faster Internet to consume American Services even faster.
I lived and worked in Edmonton and Calgary for about 8 years before moving to London (UK) and I can confidently say that I have no intention of ever going back.

To me, those two cities are exemplars for the concept of 'soul-less glass and steel altars to capitalism'. They're now even more desolate as millennials such as myself left for better opportunities. I also agree with other commenters that the politics there are toxic, and very much stuck in the past. I wish the best for everybody remaining there, hopefully they can transition to a more sustainable economic model and excise the regressive, entitled political culture that's sprung forth from decades of unbridled decadence.
> The serialized representation of a closure contains a tag instead of the actual code

Was going to ask about that.

For readers unfamiliar with Common Lisp, the output is essentially equivalent to

"(eval '(s:f '1 '(4)))"

because #. is a reader macro that means "instead of returning the s-expression, return the result of evaluating it". I.e. it's a way to run arbitrary Lisp code at parsing stage. This is not something you want to see in a serialization format.

Ignoring the security implications[0], the result seems to rely on the runtime state of the Lisp image (I assume that '1 bit is a key to the actual code of the function) - so you won't be able to persist it and load after program restart, or send it to another instance of the program.

[0] - We're talking serializing code here anyway, so adding arbitrary code execution to paring changes nothing.
Thanks, I enjoyed reading these.

Did you see value in the 30x500 course? Would you say it’s worth the price tag (I think it was 4K last I checked)?

I’m in a similar spot where I’m mostly disillusioned from salaried work. I enjoy writing quality and long term code and companies tell me it’s what they want when they hire me, but when the rubber meets the road, what they want is quick and dirty quality be damned.

But I can’t think of anything that I could sell for myself (either a course or a SaaS). I’ve had ideas before but always ran out of steam before they were useable. I usually spend a lot of energy on the project setup (deploy from git push, tooling config, etc)

And honestly, it doesn’t feel like I have the stamina to work so hard for year for maybe a payoff in the future.

Any thoughts on the above? How would you tackle it?

> It really is about time developers stopped pushing their own personal preferences as if it's some kind of fact.

Agreed, so let's all go to Rust or OCaml because they have very strong static typing systems. ;)

Both C++ and Go have plenty of warts, with C++ having way too many footguns and Go allowing you to use it as a dynamic language whenever you figure it's too much work to go through your problem with static types.
you could design them from the ground up with human rights in mind and limit the control from centralized authorities
Not sure if the article is telling the whole story, but if so this seems really unfair for society and really good for company owners.

Because it's one thing when a big conglomerate takes on financial debt in a subsidiary - the banks are sophisticated enough to negotiate whether the corporate parent should also provide a guarantee or to assess whether the subsidiary is a sufficiently good credit risk on a standalone basis.

But in terms of other claims - consumer, labor - the counterparty just sees the corporate brand (in this case J&J) and it isn't viable for them to negotiate a guarantee from the parent.

That's bad enough when the subsidiary does have assets and is a legitimate standalone business. But when you start letting companies split off liabilities and dumping them in companies to then declare bankruptcy, you in practice severely reduce the ability of the court system to function as a mechanism for parties to seek redress.

If this works (I find it incredible that the US legal system would let it work) in the short term great for companies. Though in the long term, making the court system not work as it should could make the economy work less well, as parties become mistrustful of doing business (like in emerging markets where the court system doesn't work well)

Edmonton is home to the second largest mall in North America

yet Edmonton itself is only the 33rd largest city in NA. As someone who grew up in a dull commuter suburb and hated every minute of it, this ratio of mall size to population is not inspiring.
No it would not. It would only suggest that once the data existed there was an interest on the part of certain government agencies to gain access to the data. The idea that these companies are 'fronts' for these agencies is moronic to the point of being self-parody.

I've had that preference (strong preference) for as long as I can remember. It has recently changed, as I've discovered the convenience of scripting the UI and tiling my windows.

Now I'm using the NumLock as a "dead key", that triggers a script or a layout change if followed by one of the num-pad numbers. It is a life-changing hack, I have to tell you.

You don't need any of that stuff. When I started with k8s, all I used were Yaml manifest files and kubectl apply.

As I started using it more, i eventually moved up to using helm. I've been running production k8s for a few years now and haven't used helmsman or anything but helm yet.
I don't understand how someone can not understand the problem.

You and I have conscious experience, we have a meaningful sensation of qualia. A billet of 4140 steel does not, or so we assume. Both are governed by physical laws of the universe, so there must be some distinction beyond these physical laws that differentiate them.

In this framing, there are typically four camps, three of them line up with your camps:

1) I am not like a block of steel, but I don't know why.

2) I am not like a block of steel, but I know why ("religion")

3) I am like a block of steel, neither are conscious (no incongruity/consciousness is an illusion)

4) I am like a block of steel, both are conscious ("it from bit"/Chalmers's universal conciousness)

Of course this implies the existence of a 5th and 6th camp that believes the block of steel is conscious, but we are not. I find these camps throw the best parties.
Plus, "free" customers are very demanding, far more so than paying customers.
"relevancy" is often scoped to the _textual_ relevancy of matching documents, where things like boosting matches in the title vs. the body and tf/idf scores of the involved terms matter a lot.

In practice, a lot of relevancy tuning is about properly factoring in other "signals", such as something's recency, distance, popularity, stock availability, the section of the website being searched from, etc.

Thus, there's often a lot more than just the textual relevancy being involved.

Postgres will never compromise on MVCC correctness, and therefore doesn't do any caching of partial results beyond having things in shared buffers and/or the page cache.

Elasticsearch will err on prioritising speed and cacheability. The "signals" that appear again and again in the same queries will likely be pretty compactly cached as (roaring) bitmaps in a filter cache. That enables potentially being a _lot_ faster, because it's ok with "you're seeing approximately everything that was ingested about a second a go".

In addition to that, Elasticsearch(/Lucene) comes with a lot more tooling for text processing, stemming, compound word splitting, etc.
I don't get it. It's written as though this spamming marketing cancer is somehow a virtue, and I'm supposed to have an ounce of compassion for the poor marketer constantly having to come up with new ways to shove his shit in my face and admire his ingenuity.
Java has annotation processors which can perform code generation, just like Serde does.

Manifold [1] an example framework that relies heavily on that, achieving similar things like Serde.

Java developers don't like to use these things too much though, unlike Rust developers who love their `#derive`, so you're mostly right that reflection-based serialization is still more common, but that's by choice.

Dependency Injection is in a similar situation: frameworks like Micronaut [2] can do it without reflection, and things like Google Dagger [3] have existed for several years that do the same thing... but still, most Spring Boot-based projects I know of use reflection-based DI as well... it's fast and the security issues have been largely mitigated nowadays.
