I'm curious, would you care to explain why you think that?
There isn’t a nation on Earth like Singapore, a single city-state with an extremely dense population and ability to deploy measures because of their government structure.

Not saying you are wrong, just that a comparison of peak Singapore (now), to peak Florida (not now) is perhaps not the whole story.

There was a previous discussion about YAML:

YAML: Probably not so great after all (arp242.net)

https://www.arp242.net/yaml-config.html

To which I posted:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20735231

I was suspicious of YAML from day one, when they announced "Yet Another Markup Language (YAML) 1.0", because it obviously WASN'T a markup language. Who did they think they were fooling?

https://yaml.org/spec/history/2001-08-01.html

XML and HTML are markup languages. JSON and YAML are not markup languages. So when they finally realized their mistake, they had to retroactively do an about-face and rename it "YAML Ain’t Markup Language". That didn't inspire my confidence or look to me like they did their research and learned the lessons (and definitions) of other previous markup and non-markup languages, to avoid repeating old mistakes.

If YAML is defined by what it Ain't, instead of what it Is, then why is it so specifically obsessed with not being a Markup Language, when there are so many other more terrible kinds of languages it could focus on not being, like YATL Ain't Templating Language or YAPL Ain't Programming Language?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML#History_and_name

>YAML (/ˈjæməl/, rhymes with camel) was first proposed by Clark Evans in 2001, who designed it together with Ingy döt Net and Oren Ben-Kiki. Originally YAML was said to mean Yet Another Markup Language, referencing its purpose as a markup language with the yet another construct, but it was then repurposed as YAML Ain't Markup Language, a recursive acronym, to distinguish its purpose as data-oriented, rather than document markup.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markup_language

>In computer text processing, a markup language is a system for annotating a document in a way that is syntactically distinguishable from the text. The idea and terminology evolved from the "marking up" of paper manuscripts (i.e., the revision instructions by editors), which is traditionally written with a red or blue pencil on authors' manuscripts. In digital media, this "blue pencil instruction text" was replaced by tags, which indicate what the parts of the document are, rather than details of how they might be shown on some display. This lets authors avoid formatting every instance of the same kind of thing redundantly (and possibly inconsistently). It also avoids the specification of fonts and dimensions which may not apply to many users (such as those with varying-size displays, impaired vision and screen-reading software).
And that's where we part ways.

All crafts have this - the corporate musician working on commercials and tv shows that's just trying to raise a family and "The Artist" that wants a free expression of their very soul.

I'm a slightly crazy person who is passionate about the liberatory potential of technology and how it reshapes society, hopefully as an empowering tool that benefits all. To quote Fred Brooks “The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination."

While you are happily working within the system, doing your job competently, and enjoying the fruits of your labor.

We can still be friends, but I'm going to be that wacky bird pushing the envelope, it's in my very soul and I don't think I can change that.
What is the alternative to catering to developer experience though?

If developers struggle with performant technologies / methods / frameworks, I'm sure they're going to end up producing crap apps in the end still.

Rather than complain, we should be focusing on making good performance the happy path. In fact, I'd say that's most of what the latest frameworks that are popular focus on, so I don't really understand the issue.

If you build the developer experience, they will come. If you don't, I hate to say it, but everyone has mouths to feed.
>> These inefficient frameworks make our developers more productive and allow us to design, deliver, and fix fast.

This is good for humanity, how?

You hire a bunch of n00bs that can't work together so you separate their code into small chunks of absolute crap that get glued together because "hail react" and all of a sudden, your piece of crap software, all though it drains all of my battery, works, and this is a good thing?
I’ve worked in React full time for seven years, and the biggest thing I’ve learned is that too many companies choose it when it’s absolutely not the right choice.

Plenty of things are basically websites with forms and a dash of interactivity. Building a full single page web app for this is a waste of everyone’s time and their customers CPU cycles, and it’s not even faster to develop most of the time…

My current job is a fully fledged web application for a B2B IoT platform, with soft real-time data and huge interactivity. React et al. fit this better, and because we have some control over who and what devices are using it, it’s (frankly, mitigated if you know what you’re doing) overhead isn’t a problem.

I love React, I really do. But it’s not the right fit for everything, and I’ve earned a huge amount of money coming in to save projects that are failing due to that incorrect choice.
I'm sorry to break your fantasy, but FB is nowhere close to dying like IBM by pretty much any metric you can choose (apart from perception by random folks on the internet which frankly does not count for much).

Yes. It uses a single-level store model. Everything gets mapped to a memory address.
The "failover and failback for business continuity" is specifically for cross-region/cloud, i.e. this is something you explicitly have to do. tbh I've never used it, as I guess this would be only for very large accounts. But all editions have automatic failover between AZs out-of-the-box.

[Edit] Highly Available would be a better description per region, as that's out of the box with no configuration. e.g. if a node dies, your cluster will automatically heal and resubmit your query. If there's an entire AZ outage, your query should be resubmitted in another AZ. I think this is why failover/back is called out separately, as that's not automatic, incurs additional costs etc.
Here's a link with an explanation: www.snowflake.com/blog/how-to-make-data-protection-and-high-availability-for-analytics-fast-and-easy

I didn't know DB did MVs, masking etc., so yes, that makes sense. Maybe a better idea would be to have a minimum offering comparison, and then a maximum offering comparison (with multi-AZ failover, masking feature costs etc. included) - the reality for a customer would be somewhere between those extremes.
So this only tells half the story. While it's true that mining operations in Western Australia are moving rapidly to renewables due to the cost savings, a lot of the distribution grid is reaching it's end of life in Western Australia (SWIS), and the grid authority has determined that it's cheaper to build out microgrids versus replace existing distribution infra [1] [2] [3].

Big wins all around. I'd be shocked if renewables and hydro weren't providing 90%+ of Australia's power by 2030, and they haven't even touched geothermal resources that could be colocated near utility scale renewables to maximize transmission utilization (at least until long duration storage comes down in price).

On the flip side, anecdotally, all the engineers I know carry at least some level of anti-billionaire sentiment, and in my observable circles the defenders of ultra-richness are typically those whose understanding of the world doesn't stand up to scrutiny, and are also those who aren't involved in building, creating, or adding value to the world. To some extent, we are all victims of our own bubbles.

You've editted that comment a number of times trying to explain why you flagged my top comment. Maybe... the initial comment wasn't actually all that bad? "Horse paste" really isn't a "swipe". It is a term used in exasperation for sure, but it is indeed a correct term for the drug preparation and how it was used by the community eating it.

I'll take the hit on the responses, though. It's very hard to leave things like that alone, but I'll try.

Eh, but the whole point of the cloud is if you mix a cold storage workload on part of a disk and an active workload on another part of it then the marginal cost of the cold workload in terms of all that stuff you mentioned is almost zero.

You are interpreting this to mean "positions", but "offers" normally means a specific person was told "congratulations: we've agreed to hire you! here is what we will pay... are you in?" and so it does seem very strange that half of such offers are being rejected (and then implies the thought process explained of maybe people interviewing for multiple jobs and half the time choosing someone other than Facebook). (I honestly don't know which is "correct" for what is actually happening, but I noticed the disconnect between your two comments.)
Yeah and the Taliban were willing to protect the guy who committed one of the worst terrorist atrocities in memory. Funny how it's totally understandable according to you why the Taliban wouldn't trust America, but somehow America isn't afford the same understanding by people like you.... Utterly transparent from you I'm afraid.
I'm making an honest offer to reach out and help and correct past wrongs, I am sorry if it's patronizing, if you want me to do something else then just ask. I'll be here if you change your mind. Please understand that if you refuse to take anything but complete agreement for an answer then it is going to be very difficult for anyone to help you, I can relate to your experiences but I'll never be able to experience them fully myself. So in that way, the ball is in your court.

Don't worry about my project, I'm only commenting here to help you and to explain that those other opinions are not shared by everyone. In fact commenting on social media is usually a waste for my projects as it only seems to attract more negative/toxic comments from people who (incorrectly) assume that I share all my opinions with an upstream project or something like that.
Yeah. A lot of times I find myself thinking YAML is like a really awful programming language. You can sort of do conditional logic and loops, but usually I find it hard to follow what's going on.

For build systems, I always liked the idea of Gradle where the core functionality was simple and declarative, but with the option to use a real programming language for things that weren't simple. For example, integrating installers or form builders (pre-processing) into a build are things I would consider non-trivial if there aren't official plugins, but it was still relatively easy to do with Gradle.

The biggest problem I always had with Gradle was that I didn't like Groovy and I always though there was a missed opportunity to have a statically typed build system with a solid API/contract and all the fancy tooling like auto-complete that you get with statically typed languages.

I see JSON5 mentioned a lot in the comments. In terms of CI / build systems, I feel like something built with JSON5/TypeScript could be really good. I'd be really happy using TypeScript for configuring things like build systems where there shouldn't really be an argument for needing it to be usable by non-programmers.

Personally I feel like I've spent way to much of my life debugging YAML syntax issues.

Los Altos, CA (pop. 28,976) has a retail district that I assume they tried to keep small and dense, because it’s about five blocks across and the Safeway grocery store is built upstairs from its garage.

This is where I am curious to see if solar panels cover city rooftops can help - not entirely mitigate but help - with city heat island effects.

By absorbing the energy to then use it - say to run aircon - it should be better than having the surroundings absorb it and then pump in more energy from outside to mitigate it.
You say "free choice" like companies are just throwing out job offers for free. They do not and you can find tons of posts on here complaining about how the interview process sucks, does not measure true capability etc, etc. Many people may just not have the time to grind Leetcode juggling a job to pay bills, kids and family. Sorry, but this "free choice" argument is bunk IMHO.
Throughout my career, the one thing I've noticed engineers/developers consistently have trouble modeling in their heads is queuing.

It's hard to believe that you have serious experience in react. Or maybe you've just never seen it down correctly... I have the exact opposite take.

Before react I hated UI programming so much. But the way react deals with state makes it so much easier to build and maintain complex applications.

All you have to do is define how your application responds to any given state and provide explicit controls for asking to update that state. If you do that correctly, your application will be predicable and easy to reason about.

The biggest challenge is it's just not the normal imperative programming model that most devs are used to. It takes time and understand to do correctly, but what doesn't?
Burial at sea. I'm not even convinced they killed him at the time.
I have 15 hours, and my training is paused because I don't have a medical yet. (The FAA wanted me to be evaluated in the cockpit before issuing a medical; long story.)

I did not start with fixed wing, though I have flown fixed wing a couple of times, not logged. I wanted to do fixed wing when I was younger, but helicopter seems a better bet now.

The reason is because the fixed wing industry is mostly airlines. And when I say "mostly", I mean 90% or more. That means that the fixed wing industry is subject to the volatility of demand for airline travel. Even before COVID, I knew it was volatile; 9/11 made that clear as well. With COVID being endemic and people not relaxing restrictions, I doubt the fixed wing industry will really recover to what it was. It might, though; my neighbor trains pilots for an airline, and his schedule is full right now because they can barely keep ahead of the demand for new pilots. And there are still other jobs, so the fixed wing demand might remain pretty high.

But rotorcraft was really only affected in one area: tours. The rotorcraft industry is much less volatile, and the demand is just as high. That's why I chose it. Also, it's easier to learn to fly helicopters and then to switch to fixed wing later if necessary.

The downside is that getting your Commercial certificate for rotorcraft is far more expensive, just because even the lightest helicopters cost far more to run per hour.

I can't say which is right for you, but that should at least give you more info.
I don't think so. The reason that I would use a RAID card with HDDs is to get the benefit of a battery backed write cache, optimally performing RAID operations. I've only seen one RAID card that supports connecting to NVMe drives. It is terribly expensive and aimed supporting the speed of flash-based NVMe drives.

If you want a battery backed write cache with flash-based NVMe, get an enterprise drive with power loss protection, and you are golden. You don't generally need the write cache to get reasonable throughput, but you can save a few microseconds in write latency.

I suspect that NVMe HDDs will have the same amount of write cache that existing SATA/SAS HDDs have. If you feel you need a RAID card for RAID and/or cache with SAS or SATA HDDs, you will probably have the same need for a RAID card with NVMe HDDs.

Both Intel and AMD support limited hardware RAID for NVMe natively on some of their CPUs. I don't think this has any of the cache benefits you normally have with a RAID card. That is, it may work well with flash-based NVMe drives, particularly those with power loss protection.

But really, if I'm using hard drives, I'd probably use ZFS with flash-based read and write cache or Storage Spaces with a flash tier and its integrated write cache on flash.

The difference from JSON is that in JSON, you always have to write "" to get strings.

In YAML you can just write blah and and it becomes a string. Except when it doesn't, when it matches some other type of value.
For most of the problems for which I've tried to use Bayesian Optimization, I've had poor results because of unknown and heterogeneous noise in the underlying process that I'm trying to optimize.

I believe that modeling the noise directly using a 2nd Gaussian Process [1] could help, but I haven't gotten reliable results. I was hoping this topic would be addressed in the book, but don't see it.

The fact that you are here, making this comment, as if there weren't any, proves there's no great market opportunity. Few people will seek out such things; instead they will continue to complain about how there aren't any.

I'm not making a general comment; I bought a washer and dryer for the first time in my life a couple years ago, GE branded, and they have no wifi, bluetooth, or even any kind of electronic display.

As it happens, I got them more for their dimensions fitting the space I had than anything else, as GE hasn't had the greatest reputation for reliability in recent years. But so far, they work fine.
Hmm, I don’t think this is actually true. There was plenty to complain about at any point in the development of the web, and complaing about bloated frameworks are simply the complaint du jour.

In practice I load every webpage once (even very complicated applications can be loaded in under 2MB), and then go on my merry way.
In my opinion the solution was always progressive enhancement, but things went crazy with JavaScript: The Good Parts and especially Node.js which IMO is a huge hack.

I built https://mkws.sh as a solution to at least static site generation. It can be enhanced with a Makefile but for now it's simple enough. I don't believe static site generation is a JavaScript job, and to be honest, I don't believe JavaScript belongs on the server side.
I really love those kind of no-BS straight to the point theoretical analysis of "soft" subjects like story-telling.

I know 0 people affected by covid, except on social media. I know of billions of people affected by their governments though, who say it's because of covid. I know of billions of people who had their livelihood stolen and their businesses supplanted by giant corporations who didn't have to abide by the "mandates". You'll wake up too late, and there won't be room on the boat for you because by the time you realize it's too late, the boats will be outlawed. Good luck.

I couldn't agree more about the cutting out of the T1000's erroenous morphing. It adds what, a second and a half to the film? I can't imagine why they felt the need.

I also really like the scene where John tries to teach him to smile, but at least there they have the excuse that it's a minute or two in length.

Certain other scenes, like Kyle's visit and the extra nuclear nightmare scene, I think the movie is better without.
