Google Apps is likely a poor example of your point. All the people who were using the free tier were never forced to paid plans.

I'm still using free tier Google Apps in multiple places, even though they haven't offered new free accounts for about ten years now. They even still let you create new users for free in these legacy GApps.

Interestingly, I would likely migrate off of GApps to a different paid service if Google changed their minds, however I don't think they have a strong incentive to apply pressure here at long as Gmail.com accounts are free.
I wonder if the browser cache could be used to effectively speed up compilation.

I'd imagine that most scripts in websites are static assets, i.e. change rarely and have cache headers that support storage. Couldn't you make use of that to save a compiled version of the script together with the cached file? So when the page is loaded again, scripts are already compiled.

Is something like this done in practice?

So respondents in English were not prompted to list more than one item. What is not marked for plurality.

Unfortunately I've only been able to turn out the English-language prompts for this study.

As far as Korean goes, it might not require speakers to mark (certain) nouns for plurality, but there are of course common ways to do so when desired. There is a particle (들), and there are various modifiers that could be translated to e.g. some, several, many, a few, one or more... The difference is that if you use these modifiers, you don't (as in English et al.) have to make the noun "agree" in number. Roughly speaking, one or more thing would be fine.

> simpler solutions also provide the same level of reliability.

far more simpler solutions exist that don't provide anything like reliability.

Things area more nuanced these days than when this "rule" was first formulated, but I suspect it's still true that the vast majority of people would be far better off with following it than whatever they are doing now. Doubly true of personal use.
There are people who prefer to work in an office, and some who have that preference even if it puts them on a train for an hour or two a day. As long as we don't get legislation to force employers one way or another, I'd expect employees to self-select into those who like being around others all day, and those who prefer to work in a private office. It's a serendipitous solution we've been presented to all those open plan offices that a certain set hate: you can have your own private office with a view, but you'll pay for it yourself.

> Right now, investing in public companies and tech is very risky, as valuations are at record highs. Many experts estimate near-zero returns for decades from public markets. And, as a small-time investor, I don't have access to private deals or markets.

> So, that leaves real estate.

That’s a huge leap to jump to real estate as somehow safer than public market investing. Real Estate can also be highly volatile and is also prone to significant drawdowns.

Real Estate also has very high carrying costs relative to other investments. Especially if you’re trying to rent it out, at which point it becomes a business with not insignificant labor requirements, either from you or someone you hire. It’s more of a side job than an investment.

If you’re serious about investing, you shouldn’t be choosing between a bank account or real estate. Those are on opposite ends of the risk spectrum and opposite ends of the work-required spectrum.

Instead, you’d want to do things like dollar cost averaging into equities over time (nobody really invests by keeping it all in cash and then flipping it all into specific stocks in the middle of a frothy market). Or you should be looking into ladder if CDs, or bonds, or something like I-bonds to invest an asset specifically indexed to inflation.

But choosing between a 0% bank account or real estate investing is a major false dichotomy.

The "addiction" doesn't have anything to do with particular drugs, it's an underlying flaw that can be triggered by more or less anything that's enjoyable enough and meets a few other requirements.

Well, let’s just add that TruffleJS, a js implementation in java which is part of the Graal project (which is a java interpreter written in java, running on top of java) can achieve comparable speeds to V8 for long running tasks (java’s JIT compilers “turn on” later than js’s because one has to be quite fast as soon as possible while the other has to be really fast but can warm up a bit more).

There is a slight trick here, because this java interpreter uses a few special JIT optimizations, but it is still 100% java code (and the clever reuse of the engineering marvel what the JVM is). (Also, do check out the Graal project, its AOT compilation may be the least interesting part! It can even inline python code into js and optimize them together!)

Also, Java will soon get virtual threads that will automagically become non-blocking, even if they are written with blocking code (similarly to go). Currently in incubator mode is the Vector API which let’s people write really low level SIMD code that can cleverly query the processors capabilities and will even safely fallback to for loops on ineligible CPUs. FFI will greatly improve also with project Panama, so libs like tensorflow can get better integration into the JVM.

And last but not least, Valhalla is coming with value types. Yeah, it won’t happen for a few years still, but once it does, there will hardly be a platform as performant as the JVM. So, while we have heard it plenty of times how java will soon die, I think it’s future is brighter than ever.
Current statistics seem to suggest that around 82% of people in the US are satisfied with their lives [0].

By "legal request" I mean requests made through channels of the law. These things aren't "attacks" because they're functionally not attacks. 'Cooperation' is the antithetical to 'attack'.

I think the best we can do with file-level metadata is account for only objective metrics. Subjective differences are best handled outside of the file metadata. The user can tune their display settings to match their preferences. This allows for correcting for physiological differences and stylistic preferences. If all files had correct metadata (for objective metrics), it would be a lot easier for an end user to tune the system to their liking because their end results would be consistent with their preferences.

> I really would love if folks talking about volatile AWS prices would actually give examples.

There was never any mention of "volatile" pricing. Egregious? Yes. Volatile? No. There's a significant difference of meaning with those words.

Here's a perfect example [0] by Corey Quinn.

> So inform us of the uncertainty with AWS.

I didn't mention "uncertainty with AWS". I mentioned that there is no more certainty with AWS than with any other major cloud provider with respect to your statement about public companies who "eventually succumb like every company before them to the realities of reporting growth". And then for some reason you pivoted to your own, personal, AWS bill from there. I'm not exactly following the logic.

> Cloudflare has secret pricing - that's the really annoying thing.

At this point I'm not sure if your comment is even serious. First of all, please elaborate on "secret pricing". Sounds like serious charges we should all be aware of. Maybe it's with the article from 2019 on The Register about domain pricing? That's not exactly in the context of this thread, but please enlighten the masses.

> Seriously, put a porn site up online with cloudflare and see how far "free" gets you.

I'd charge you with the same ask on AWS. You seem to imply the "free" tier, on AWS, will provide proper capabilities to host an adult content site. I have strong doubts about this. The logic of this argument is ill conceived at best. Or is your logic just that you can't do this on Cloudflare and that's the root of your argument on why AWS is better? Again, I'm not exactly following your train of thought.

Two of my favourites are Watson and Homebrew. Very well thought out.

I agree with the basic idea in your blog post -- that interfaces should be defined by the consumer, and be small -- but I think it's a bit dogmatic: "it’s wrong". :-)

For one thing, it's easy to work around the issue of "pasting every single function signature into this test file, and making it panic("not implemented") or something". You can simply embed the DB interface in your test struct, and only override the method(s) you need. For example, let's say the DB interface defines 10 methods, but our function under test only need one, GetThings(). We do this:

type testDB struct {
DB // embedded field named DB, so testDB implements DB
things []Thing
}

// but override GetThings method
func (d *testDB) GetThings() ([]Thing, error) {
return d.things, nil
}

The embedded DB field, which is a field named DB of type DB and is nil, pulls in all the methods of that type so testDB implements the DB interface. When you construct a testDB you just leave the DB field nil -- if any of the not-explicitly-defined methods are called, they'll panic with a nil pointer, but that's okay, they would explicitly panic in your test implementation anyway.

The other thing is simply pragmatism: at some point it gets tedious to define all these tiny interfaces. Do you do it at the handler level, where each db sub-interface only has 1 or 2 methods? This blows out the number of interfaces. Or do you do it at the server level, where the db interface has all the methods (what you're opposed to)? Or something in between: have server "sections" grouped by logical feature, such as authDB, projectDB, and so on. Each might have 5-10 methods, and to test each sub-server you'd either do what I've suggested above with an embedded interface field, or just implement a single in-memory test db for each db type.

I do like what you said about interfaces obfuscating the code (it becomes more abstract and hard to follow and navigate), and that testing on the real db if you can is a good idea. Creating a new PostgreSQL db for every test seems like it'd be very slow and unnecessary, though. Why not just one db for each test run?
Three things:

why would a terrorist take it out when they could take out a ton of other higher priority targets?

Why would a company waste tons of money to build a power plant when they could just use an existing power plant. It may not be 100% reliable, but it's a hell of a lot better than wasting tons of money building their own.

Lastly, thanks for the completely nonsensical post and typing in all caps like it is a no-brainer when it's obviously not.
What's really awful is that this has happened before.

> I think most companies still consider your location when determining your pay. Facebook does for instance, even going as far as tracking your IP to make sure you're being honest. If you choose to move to a lower cost city, they'll adjust your wage. Not sure about the other way around.

Truthfully, I don't see this working out in the long run. Companies like Facebook are making desperate grabs to keep control over how work is done and how it is compensated, but I believe market forces will kill efforts like ZIP code based compensation.

In reality, if you're top tier talent, you can command top tier compensation no matter what your ZIP code is. Facebook's strategy relies on every other company colluding with them to suppress compensation based on locality.

Yup.

I've got both mechanical timers and digital timers. While the digital ones have more programming flexibility (e.g., different hours on different days), I've also got to relearn the button sequences for checking & setting them up every time I use them.

So, what comes out first? The mechanical ones, just set the time, put the pins in the on/off times I want, and plug it in. I only bother with the digital ones if I need to use more than the couple of mechanical ones on hand.

What will I buy next if I need more? Some of these same mechanical ones...

Short, simple, and robust tech stacks really are better than tall, messy and brittle.

If someone could give me a tall, clean, and reliable stack with a clean UI, I'd be all over it, AND happy to pay more. But the trend these days is all about programmer convenience and "productivity". Great, except when the result is mountains of digital crap that results in articles like that one.
Perhaps, but it's something that's difficult to do _while_ learning the language. The most painful part is hiding all the memory allocation and management, but perhaps you could just declare a static allocator of the default type. You could just an arena allocator probably; AOC problems should not run out of memory, even if allocations are never released.

>So my point was if millennials and GenZ are the victims of the policies or lack thereof and want these politicians to do something, why do they keep voting for them when these same politicians have fueled the price growth and continues to do nothing?

That's actually the problem! Spoiler: They don't vote (enough, compared to older cohorts). Older people are generally wealthier, and they also tend to vote in greater numbers and for their own interests, but younger people don't. It really is tragic, but not for the reasons you listed.
> Can you provide citation for this?

Apple's cooperation with PRISM[0] is well documented[1], but if you want to find the particularly damning details you'll need to do your own research. The dust has settled since the Snowden revelations, and many mentions of the program have been sterilized.

> Also how they are different from any other tech company?

It's not. But the claim that Apple puts extra effort into protecting you from your government is comical, especially if you live in a first-world country. It's also a false dichotomy, since there are definitely more secure devices you could be using. They're just not being manufactured by the largest, most valuable companies in the world.

> My MacBooks security keys are not trivial to acquire because they aren’t in icloud.

That is indeed what the US would like you to think. It's no coincidence that Macbooks force you to use NIST-designed crypto for all of their services though, and if you've got a healthy degree of skepticism towards the same institute that backdoored Dual_EC_DRBG, it's safe to assume the rest of these ciphers are also vulnerable to differential cryptanalysis. Or just take what the NSA says at face value, that certainly won't cause any problems in the future. /s

> But what do 5 eyes have to do with Chinese users?

Also nothing, they have their own bespoke surveillance program since China cannot cooperate with the US like Britain or Canada can. In lieu of being able to break their encryption, China demanded that all of Apple's domestic data get stored on domestic servers. While Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and every other big tech company shied away from that kind of compliance with a known abuser of human rights, Apple happily complied with the request.

On the other hand, from the perspective of TSMC, if production does not get transferred to USA mainland, then it secures the future of TSMC because in that case USA will ensure that they do not get taken over by a geopolitical adversary in the coming decade. Geopolitical risk is not something external that exists in isolation; the location of semiconductor manufacturing is a big factor that shapes the geopolitical risk by shaping the interests of key players. If USA can afford to walk away, Taiwan is at large geopolitical risk; but as long as their interests are tied together, then the risk to Taiwan is greatly limited.
