> I completely agree it is in part a service discovery problem - my original point is that HATEOAS is not a workable service discovery mechanism in a microservices environment.

What leads you to believe that? You want a related resource, and you get it by checking it's location. It's service discovery moved to the resource level. What's hard about it?

> Instead, use some service discovery technology. Not hypermedia.

I don't understand what's your point. Where do you see any relevant difference? HATEOAS is already service discovery at the resource level.

> It's too hard for one service to generate links (yes, let's call them complex links instead of deep links for enhanced correctness) into another.

Not really. Tedious? Yes. Too hard? Absolutely not. Not only there are even modules and packages that either do that for you or do most of the work but also it's not different than just putting together a response to a request.

> If it can do that then they were never really independent microservices in the first place, they are so tightly coupled.

You seem very confused about this subject as you're not only mixing up unrelated concepts but also imagining problems where there are none.

From the start, REST is just an architectural style, and HATEOAS is just an element of said style. HATEOAS basically boils down to a technique to allow clients to not have hardcoded references to URLs pointing to resources. Instead, when you get a response to a request, the response also returns where you can find related resources. That's it. It matters nothing if said links never change at all during the life of a service. What it matters is that if you're developing a service that's consumed by third-parties that support HATEOAS, you do not have any problem whatsoever peeling out responsibilities to other services or even redeploying them anywhere else, because your clients will simply know where to look without requiring any code change at all.

On Ebay I can find around a dozen people just in my local area trying to sell their mining rigs with stuff like 5 x 3070 cards: https://i.imgur.com/nI8GYsG.png

Maybe not for Bitcoin anymore, since there is specialized hardware now, but it doesn't really matter which proof-of-watts-per-hour cryptocurrency we're talking about. They're all shit and the planet would be better off without them.
Another way of looking at "worse is better" is observing that, while "worse" delivers some results sooner, it also sucks out the oxygen from the room, preventing "better" from ever happening. Iterate it a few times, building one "worse" thing on another "worse" thing, and it's not hard to see why our whole tech stacks are so bad.

Because for many people (this author included), this topic is akin to a religion, complete with holy literature (sci-fi) and a high priesthood (scientists and sci-fi writers.) So when a "god" like Stephenson (the word god is used in the article to describe him) doesn't preach about the imminent End of Times, everyone gets nervous.

If you think I'm exaggerating, here is an excerpt:

But a few weeks ago, at dinner, a conversation with my teenage son went awry. I was trying to talk to him about possible college plans, and he wouldn't engage. I pushed. We gotta get started, I explained. Applications. Money. Campus visits.

And he said, “Frankly, I just feel sort of nihilistic about it.”

I followed up. About what?

Well, it turned out—the whole thing, really. College, jobs, the ecosphere, the future. The boomers blasted it all into oblivion while Gen X screwed around on the internet.

Here's where I blew it. Instead of giving him the we're-all-in-this-together-change-the-future speech, I said, “Kiddo, I think there's a chance that when all this shakes out, some people will get to be inside the dome and most people won't, and I'm just hoping you'll get inside the dome before they shut the door.”

Like I said, cultish.

Couldn't you advertise or sponsor user groups, forums, clubs etc? Niche brands are not a thing of this century alone. I think there's other ways to reach your audience without having to use targeted ads on generic sites and apps.

Also don't forget that ads are being minimised as a phenomenon by users, not just by Apple. In Europe tech sites are already seeing more than 50% of visitors blocking ads. Most quote pervasive tracking as the reason.

In many ways Apple is following the trend, not leading it, and trying to take away the reason for user objections to ads.

Call me crazy but I don't believe everything is best taught directly like just crank out a college course. Ethics is one such subject. If you are truly interested in ethics, you can learn about it everywhere - in the news, on TV shows and movies, in novels, watching your friends and just reflecting on all that you see. If not, you can see all the same things without learning anything about ethics. Developing a sense of ethics is a natural by product of being constantly thoughtful and reflective about how your actions impact the world. It's the sort of thing you learn implicitly from your parents & peers & what gets rewarded in the world. In more concrete terms, honoring those who do good and punishing those who don't is a pretty good way to "teach" ethics. Ethics are more a matter of enforcement than teaching maybe.

What is? Not wanting to have children?
Thanks! I've thought about what else to do with this (more articles? YouTube videos? A reference implementation in C?) but I'm not sure there would be enough interest, or that I could go into enough depth. For example, I can't imagine writing a whole book about this. Besides, there's people who are far more qualified than I am to go into more depth - namely, the people who have been doing this for AAA games.
All this tells me is that I shouldn’t trust this site called “trustpilot“.

Their name sounds pretty suspicious to me, like they’re telling users that they should be trusted, just because they’ve got the word “trust” in their name.
The government can print USD for themselves, effectively stealing money from everyone through inflation. With bitcoin, even "small group controlling 90%" can't do that.
Technology aside, rollout of such technology in Europe would be sabotated by russkies in the same way shale gas/oil was (sadly successfully). This must be accounted and planned for. Fossil wholesaler of the Siberia does not want you to be gass/oil independant.
Better hope you never have to struggle through anything together then. Money doesn't solve all problems, sorry to say.
Got you. I just want to point out the absurdity of it. Java microservices commonly use Javascript Object Notation for their data transfer. How is that the right tool for the job. With all the translations that are needed, why don't they use RMI/RPC? And why even spend all that development time on something that you can solve in an afternoon with a JDBC connection anyway.
I don't understand what that quote is supposed to tell the reader about cultish behaviour.
I presume it's good enough until more sites pick up this approach and crawlers counteract it.

Why avoid spiders, to prevent bots stealing your posts? This also prevents search engines crawling them, which is a major downside, no?
But are stocks the the appropriate thing to compare Bitcoin with? Why stocks and not money supply? And do you pick a national stock market or money supply or do you sum across the globe? But maybe it also does not really matter and all those things have similar distributions.
> Amazingly, we find that the GCC compilers is able to compile Travis’ is_empty C++ function to constant-time code.

It's actually an interesting example where undefined behavior allowed compiler optimization:

(1) dereferencing an invalid pointer is UD

(2) signed integer overflow is UD.

This allows the compiler to assume that the program never crashes and the counter never overflows. The loop is then optimized out knowing that it is read-only thus has no side-effects.
What I have wanted to do for some time, well over a decade, is to create a search engine that just searches page titles. Not as a substitute for any other search engine but as a high throughput discovery tool to screen for websites which can then be explored and searched further.

There are, e.g., search engines that search for strings in the page source, e.g., to detect use of certain Javascript files. These are slow and not free.
I find him frustratingly variable. I enjoyed Snow Crash and reamde and some of his non-fiction work. A lot of the rest (including Cryptonomicon and Seveneves) seems over-long, over-digressive, and annoyingly inconclusive. I don't know why - he's clearly an intelligent and thoughtful author.
I will add more of the quote.

The author was talking to his son, who was feeling unmotivated about going to college because the world was ending soon. The author's reply was the section I quoted.

Biological technicians mostly marry (~6%) "Driver/sales workers and truck drivers". Didn't expect that. Maybe the driver category is a catch all one?

No, because you are describing folks in shitty parts of the world. They will die just fine in regular wars and just because they aren't nuclear or the world will not end because we had them doesn't make it any less tragic.

> That makes it sound like you're forced to spend 1M on a home

No they are 'forced' to buy a home.

The home that fulfills their needs is 1M. If they could find a home that fulfilled their needs for $5 and 10c they would spend $5.10 on their home.

The 'poor' person who sold their house to them in the poor area for $1mil ('where back in my day a house cost nothing') now has $1mil. The 'rich' person has a mortgage.
The new version only really fixed M1 specific issues. It's really been practically abandoned since Apple pulled their hands off it and left it to "the community".
In my opinion, people seem very generous and creative in matters that concern other people's money.

Whether it is someone stealing from people who "can afford it", or increase taxes for certain categories that don't include them, people are in no shortage of 'arguments' and seem to find things 'obvious'.

I'm a big fan of Anathem but never made it through Cryptonomicon despite a few attempts. So I don't think this is necessarily true.
I have just finished yesterday Greg Egan’s Permutation City (a great read, even though I wouldn’t say it’s for everyone), which was published in ‘94, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the climate change theme in the story, although it was not part of the main theme.

More so, cloud computing is present and quite important in this book, even though I don’t think the term was used as such. It’s essentially distributed compute that you rent to run your code, and prices vary based on demand. The climate change theme comes into play here, when all compute is rented to run weather simulations in an effort to fight climate change.

There’s also software that edits facial expressions, for instance to eliminate signs of stress during a video call (we’re not quite there yet, but FaceTime’s Eye Contact feature seems to be a step towards that). This, again, is from ‘94.

I do wonder often how much of the current tech is inspired by [hard] SF. Another example seems to be Elon Musk’s Neuralink, which very likely was inspired by Iain M. Banks “neural lace” from the Culture series.

It would be more accurate to say that nobody who matters cares.

Manufacturing Consent was broadly correct, but now add the surprising power of the Twitter echo chamber, where most American journalists spend their time. That, and Trump got eyeballs.
While not agreeing or disagreeing with your post, this part warranted I reply:

There is a huge amount of barely populated northern land, in Asia and North America: Russia and Canada, perhaps about to become usably arable.

This isn't really so for most, if not all crops.

The problem isn't the cold, it is growing season length, and sunlight, and shade.

I'm in southern Quebec, 300km from New York state. Some years, certain crops fail to reach maturity, as the growing season is shortened by too much rain / cloud cover. EG, old human editable yellow corn has a longer growing season than newer 2-colour/"peaches-n-cream" varieties, and sometimes never matures.

And in the spring/fall, the sun, even where I live, does not get far about the horizon, even at peak.

Many crops also cannot handle 24 hours of sun! Plants literally need rest cycles too.

So it is not only cold which restricts crop growth, but the length of sun per day.

Peat moss, and other such plants, do not need to produce large fruits or nuts to survive. And of course, our crops are picked for making the largest fruit/nuts, so require more time to be usable.

Stepping back from this issue, one thing of note.

Massive amounts of cropland is not used in southern Quebec, and other regions of Canada. Sometimes, it is not profitable to farm, and you can find lots of land sitting fallow.

Canada could easily double or even triple its crop output if food was more expensive.

I don't know how this applies to the rest of the world, but I do know that the EU does pay some farmers not to farm.

Outside of the economic realities, there is the fact that sometimes more tha 50% of Canada's wheat crop rots in silos.

This may seem horrifying, but is logical and sensible. Growing crops is not under our full control. Pests, drought, too much / not enough sun, means that there are bumper, and poor crop years.

You always want enough, or in the bad years people could starve.

Which leads to why the EU pays people not to farm, yet keep farmland. If conditions change, say some regions are at war, or have economic breakdowns, this fallow land comes into use, else again, we starve.

Anyhow, point is, warmer Earth doesn't mean cropland opens up.

I liked both Cryptonomicon and Anathem once I actually punctured through the wall of frankly gratuitous language, but I fell asleep multiple times on the way. Recommending it to other folks is something I wouldn't do I think, as I don't feel the books were very well written.
I wonder if there might be some causation to this correlation.
Number one: In 1945, corporations paid 50 percent of federal taxes. Now they pay about 5 percent. Number two: in 2004, 90 percent of traffic went to small websites; now it’s about two percent.

It’s called consolidation. Strengthen large corporations, weaken individuals. With internet advertising, this can be done imperceptibly over time.
In other words, it creates a "push-down" to SQLite?

So that we can appreciate your point about the elegance of the API, how would you do the opposite to allow execution to take place on the data-frame?
Well, unless you can exert sufficient influence on the system itself from outside. Ask Tor how the whole "anonymity is guaranteed by decentralization" thing works out when individual actors control the majority of the nodes involved. To say nothing about rubber-hose cryptanalysis or simply banning crypto currencies an seizing assets.

It also doesn't really matter if the person fucking with a resource is a state or an extremely rich individual or a company, except for ideological reasons. Diamonds (even natural ones) are fairly abundant and largely worthless but that doesn't stop De Beers from selling them at ridiculously inflated prices because they hold enough of a monopoly to be able to create artificial scarcity (and spend a lot of money on marketing to distinguish their "product" from the cheaper but higher quality artificial alternative).

That crypto currencies aren't subject to the power hierarchies of the institutions you name in the exact same way as state-backed currencies doesn't mean they are not impacted by real world power hierarchies at all -- nor at least less so. Literally the only thing guaranteeing the "value" of anything is (state) violence. The reason you can charge ten bucks for a fancy cup of coffee is that if I drink without paying, you can call the cops.

12 references to people in one statement, 5 referring to the post author, 1 reference to social fraternity membership, 1 statement of authority.

I'm not sure if there is a common name for this particular source of discomfort, but that quote definitely contains a lot of it. I'm a historical contributor to the Python source repository, but something about the social structure of the project has changed significantly in recent years that would dissuade me from submitting changes in future. The focus in the statement above no longer feels like it is on the actual productive output of the project itself, and in previous years it wasn't like that, nor needed to be like that.

Reminds me of something like the minutes of a professional schmoozer's business lunch, rather than a technical meeting, or something like that. If you have ever seen a stray engineer at an event like this (or had the misfortune of being that engineer), this feeling probably captures the problem well. Whatever it is, I'd love to see less of it.

I am not who you are asking but I want to chime in: the problem is not missing regulation, the problem is the rich decide on regulation and this regulation helps keep them rich.

Specific examples: UK capital gains tax is lower than income taxes. This means if you are born in to a wealthy family and given a £1MM index fund, you will pay less yearly tax on your capital gains while chilling at home all day than someone with a £50K job working hard and contributing to society
You could tragically gloss over 90% of that and still have a very solid story.
The poor person didn't have a house to sell. Poor people don't have assets. This discussion feels like talking to people from another reality.

I live in a country where $900/mo is considered a good salary. New 120 m^2 flats in my city now cost $600k because people from abroad have come in, bought stuff and raised prices. What are regular people here, who have no "houses to sell", supposed to do? Move away from the place they've lived for decades because people from rich countries are "forced" to buy a home?
