What's kind of funny was I was reading something that talked about tries as if they were an exotic data structure and said something along the lines of "most developers will never implement a trie" and I had just finished implementing a trie that day.
I think a developer who does that is doing a disservice to the company they are working for. If I start looking at a project and see a bunch of outdated packages that have been copied and pasted there and tweaked who knows how, I quit right away. Not to mention that these packages most likely have various unpatched security issues.

And if the package is not "small enough", I guess it means it needs to be re-implemented from scratch? If a company is happy to pay you for that (and is aware of it), why not, it's fun actually, but not very productive.

It's undeniably more materially efficient to re-power serviceable vehicles but people get their the panties in knot over safety so I doubt the "reverse glider" approach will ever gain a big foothold in the light vehicle market. It would likely be targeted by legislation that makes it economically non-viable if that were to happen.

Considering that the venn diagram between "people who profess to care a lot about safety" and "people who profess to care a lot about the environment" has a pretty massive overlap I look forward to the inevitable dumpster fire as people are forced to reconcile that the tradeoffs exist.

Furthermore, a ton of ancillary stuff has improved so much over the last 20+yr that the cumulative difference is quite noticeable. Few people will drop "new Mitsubishi Mirage" money re-powering an '03 Civic.
Epcot at Disney World is like that (or at least used to be like that the last time I went 20 years ago).
Thanks! This is a great, thought-provoking answer.

I've only worked with variants of paxos which were greatly simplified, and wondered how Raft actually simplified things here.

I feel like Raft, despite being easier to explain quickly, really doesn't seem much simpler than a basic explanation of Paxos. But perhaps that's because of what I've already worked with.

I've got an itch to explore Viewstamped Replication as well...
A long time ago some teammates (prior to my joining the company) had been assigned to work on some VA related health system, turned out they were 8 levels sub contractors, i.e. sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-contractors. Project never shipped.
Were the parent's activities "side hustles" or were they his main hustle for various intervals? It's a little unclear. In either case, those side-hustles seem pretty lucrative--it's harder IMO when your side-hustle is just for fun.
> Would you be upset if people showed positive emotion at the execution

I would be disappointed. I would also be surprised. I think there's a reason executions aren't public any more, and I think it's because we have largely evolved beyond the point where most of us can take pleasure from watching another person die. I think this is the reason that the reality of industrial meat production is such a closely guarded secret. If people knew what happened behind those closed doors they'd eat a lot less meat.
Actually, ounce I got used to Emacs choices I ended up liking them better. Hard to say why, I think it's that when you start adding more and more shortcuts, the choices Emacs made start to make sense in terms of maximizing all the various bindings.

Probably overkill for your purposes, but I wanted a wired networked solution that would allow me to synchronize/tile video from other surveillance cameras. I ended up deploying the Ubiquiti door bell as well as their Unifi cameras and the NVR + UDM Pro. Make sure you set it up with a local admin account and disable Unifi Cloud for security reasons. They're expensive, but they work well, and can be powered/connected via wired Ethernet with POE. The doorbell is the only one that's WiFi because it's powered via a standard doorbell transformer, but supports the latest WiFi protocols including WPA3.

I'm sure the setup experience is less easy and seamless than a Nest, but it's more locally controlled, all video is locally recorded not in the cloud, and you get a strong management interface for large footprints.
That 22€ instance is shared cpu, and they do get oversubscribed. The dedicated vcpu ones are more comparable to AWS and at 70€ they are still a lot less expensive than AWS. Then there is the free egress bandwidth (up to 20TB per instance) and unlimited free internal bandwidth.

The main shortcoming of the US deployment so far is no HDD storage available. I hope they can offer that soon, even if no dedicated servers. Their biggest StorageBox plan (basically scp/rsync storage though sshfs works) is 40€/month for 10TB or so. The cloud servers have SSD block storage available but it is .04€/m for 1GB i.e. 10x more expensive (though a lot more flexible) than StorageBox.

Yeah it's conceivable...but:

1. Uber isn't big in Ireland, so not so reliable

2. Taxi or Uber won't wait for me to shop

3. Taxi or Uber won't have appropriate child seats for my kids

But honestly I dislike cars alot - it just makes sense at present.

If this happens (and it should), I would expect them to target the Mustang crowd first, simply because so many have been made and the Mustang performance mod scene is very strong.
I guess the French would be in a position to do so.

They've already adopted some infrastructure software projects into their governmental operations, not only using them, but also participating and maintaining them.

They also have many initiatives mandating the use of open source where applicable, and also suggestions of liability for closed source software by law. Harr! Unheard of! Those naughty Gauls!
As someone who isn't far off this level with regular injections in regular places, I have a lot of sympathy for the author. Based on my past experience I'd expect it to take me a couple of years to get to the point of being able to do this, and I have no real anxiety about my eyes.

Well done to the author for not giving up.
Yeah I don’t find any of this that crazy, if you recorded everything I said, I would have some dark moments too
Price is good, really, people in the market to do swaps are used to paying big bucks for crate motors. This isn't really targeted at everyday consumers. Even so, I do agree that it would be nice to see battery options as well. At least something with a decently modular form factor that is targeted at powering an EV.
> I also find out that once I know how to implement something on paper (e.g. if I can draw the process of an algorithm on paper), I usually lost the interest to implement it in code.

This is a perpetual problem for me. I start out interested in a lot of things, but once it's clear how to proceed, I get no pleasure out of the rote work required to implement the solution. Whether it's writing code, building something physical, playing a game, putting together a puzzle, or any other activity that involves some degree of thought or problem solving, as soon as there's nothing left to think about, I lose all interest. If there's a chance of an alternate outcome, I remain engaged to the last second (so I can finish PVP games, win or lose, but almost never finish a game of Civilization). It plagues me at work, too, but at least with work, I've got external motivating factors (insofar as I won't get paid if I never finish things).
It would still be possible to write JavaScript like code, that is Typescript selling point vs CoffeeScript and Dart, so I don't see a problem with it.
As someone who picked up Emacs about 3 years ago, and now finds it to be my favorite editor, I think the only issue with Emacs is performance on large files and stability of builds on Windows.
Interesting take. Facebook is one of the few companies in the world I'd never work for.
We need to be careful about free and open software and your solution is to use non free and closed source software because they can make money off open source software? This makes no logical sense.
Thanks for the feedback on my parenting style Diggsey, I will be on the lookout for a visit from child services for the terrible crime of paying attention to my kids results at school, making sure they do their homework and sitting down and studying with them for their tests.

this sure sounds like external inspiration:

“I think Apollo 11 was one of the most inspiring things in all of human history. Arguably the most inspiring thing. And one of the most universally good things in history. The level of inspiration that provided to the people of Earth was incredible. And it certainly inspired me. I’m not sure SpaceX would exist if not for Apollo 11.”

> I was taking a cab from Central Park and there was an open cab right in front of me,” said Maddie Tarr, a product manager at TPG. “Since you can often pay contactless, it feels just as easy. Plus, I didn’t need to wait for the Uber to show up.

Yeah, well that's Manhattan. Try finding a yellow cab the further out in Bronx, Queens, or Brooklyn. Good luck.

And have fun paying the non-airport/non-flat rate yellow cab fares. I can count on two hands the number of times I paid for a yellow cab. They're not worth the cost and lack of convenience for most New Yorkers.
haha the Biden administration literally just today (the day after getting annihilated in VA) codified the previously announced OSHA regulations requiring "large" employers to mandate the vaccine to employees under the threat of hefty fines.

They clearly planned the timing of this release to avoid negatively affecting Democrat chances before election day. They know it's a losing subject among moderates and independents. They know it's a loser for the economy because they further delayed enforcement until after the holiday season. They don't care about any of that because in the end it's all about power and control.
Yes! We launched a few weeks ago and that post was about exclusively about learning Spanish. Since then we added a bunch of languages so it now works for more people :)
The mind-blowing part of this is that the "mindshare" includes the perception that the apps have more predictable prices than yellow cabs... That was never why people switched in the first place, it was because of cheaper prices and convenience, not "predictable" prices. The whole thing from the start was that the price on Uber fluctuates a lot. That's central to the entire idea. Surge pricing, etc.

But that's a self-fulfilling prophecy. If there were a market for guillotines they would be readily available too. They are not hard to make.

That's putting it mildly—the alignment Voyager used occurs once every 176 years! That we went from mucking around with sounding rockets in the New Mexico desert to venturing out of the solar system in a couple decades remains, in my opinion, the crowning technical achievement of humankind.
Oh, some random stranger on the Internet said so? That must be right, then.
Hi, congrats on the app. I was curious about one thing in the article - why would the city pay to license the app when it is open source? Do you anticipate that this would be cheaper for them than them paying one of their overpriced contractors to build and publish an "official" version, given how much they spent on a CRUD app?

Not possible until they simply suck it up and pander to plebs. I can have a development environment setup in VSCode in under 5-10 minutes in most cases; you cannot even begin to understand Emacs configuration (let alone what you need to google). You need to go heavy into the language itself.
It is. Depending on the consumer, these are just what the doctor ordered. Get a high quality motherboard, massive cooling solution, and eke out the maximum performance.

But this won't translate well into excellent laptop chips, so we'll continue to wait and see if Intel has something ready in time for their next mobile release.

And personally, I don't get enough benefit from the last few percentage points of performance to give up a quiet, cool-running, relatively power-sipping desktop system. That's just me, but that means I prefer to see advances in efficiency regardless of the market segment!

>But energy -- of the vim and vigor variety -- is not a tank that you must fill before you can use it. It's a choice. It is in fact _created by action_. It's getting up and making things happen even when your tank is empty.

So very true in my experience with any creative pursuit I've attempted. As others have mentioned, there is a real local maxima that must be overcome, but once you climb the hill and enter the mindset of "getting the thing done", the burst of energy can be so unrelenting until the task is complete. Forcing yourself to this mindset seems like a great approach to me. I still personally need little tricks and triggers to remind myself that 'this', whatever 'this' is, is what I've chosen to do though.

>You are not your situation, your possessions, your achievements, or your past. You are your choices and your actions in the present. Think about the kind of person you admire -- their qualities and their actions. Then _be that person_. Choose to make that a core part of your identity. Not your past choices or your past actions, but who you are _right now_.

I've come to a somewhat similar conclusion. To channel my inner Horowitz, I offer an excerpt from Death Grips' - "Lord of The game".

Ships have been required to use low sulphur fuel since 2020.

Hybrid airships might eventually find a niche for military use or transport to remote areas but they'll never be viable for large scale long distance cargo transport. Helium is too expensive and they have trouble flying high enough to get above bad weather. It's just a silly idea, the economics will never work.

For me as a Java backend dev, Angular feels extremely welcoming. I can immediately turn my fantasies into reality with it. Kind of feels like the angular developers were all spring devs once.

Price could be lower. Cheaper to make motor than an engine.

Big issue is lack of inverter. If you get a bigger motor need a bigger inverter.

With a lot of parts now if you buy a la carte you spend as much or more than buying them in the vehicle especially at low end. They price them as if you are taking away a car sale. Not a good model in my opinion.

I used to be an emacs partisan, but line continuation characters killed it for me.

With vi I can cut and paste into other applications on the desktop, with emacs I can't.

I'm not going to accept the "just customize it" argument because if you do any administration at all you will sometimes log into a machine that you've never seen before.

Sometimes you're going to log into a machine that is damaged.

In that case you should be facile with whatever editor is already installed on the machine.
I've used Emacs for about 5 years now, exclusively in Evil mode. One of my biggest complaints is that my big complex configuration setup seems to break every time I migrate to a new version of Emacs, or a new computer. This last time, I had to install VS code to get my work done quickly because I didn't have time to mess around with my configuration (yet again). It was surprisingly easy to get up and going on vscode. If it wasn't based on Electron, I just might consider sticking with it. Tweaking Emacs consumes a lot of time and seems to never end.
There is one last major piece to be done for the game (now I’m no longer working alone on it) after which I want to write something a bit more detailed about the journey.

But on the high-level — my full-time job is interaction design. Throughout my career I used JavaScript a lot for building interactive design prototypes and it’s the only language I know, so when I had the idea for Yare.io (heavily inspired by MIT’s Battle Code), vanilla JavaScript (and Node for server) was the only thing I could use (didn’t know any libraries or frameworks)

The project was really just a “problem” to be solved. Use JavaScript to move basic geometric shapes on a canvas in a 1 versus 1 battle. It needed to have a UI, rendering of a game state, authentication, event queue, basic ruleset, … None of this really required any tracker or rigorous process. I know what needs to be done, because I’m literally sitting in front it, seeing what needs to be done. It didn’t need a “plan”, because it didn’t matter when each piece of the puzzle was made. Just, whatever I was in the mood for that day.

I think the principle of simplicity (as cliche as it sounds) – trying to keep everything (especially the foundations) as basic as possible – was really the main thing that allowed me to finish the game.

I don't think I could enjoy it as much as I did with some scrum method, brainstorming bullshit, or anything reminding me of work.
