* The hardening of images is pretty important: https://blog.gitguardian.com/how-to-improve-your-docker-cont...

* Working out/testing how upgrades can be made to ingresses without downtime

* Designing and testing SSL cert rotation

* Having a strategy for image version updates (e.g. not using "latest" but how to decide when an upgrade to a newer image is or isn't acceptable)

* How to super-optimise layering or image builds including ADD vs COPY, realising that copying everything at once usually breaks this, working out where/how to perform things like OS updates

Remote Work Can Be a Bad Way to Start a Career
Root cause is for plants, not software
Heh, I remember an owner coming into my office (doing warehouse picking software at a warehouse company) asking wtf was this $300 charge. I told him “yeah, that’s a license to use this software for a year.” He went “oh, for the year. That’s only $25 a month? Carry on!” the nostalgia is real.
This comment doesn't make much sense, and isn't in line with how vaccines or immunity works.
Much worse than static type checking.
But infinitely better than no type checking.
As an example, here's the driver for small TFT screens of the type that is built into the M5Stack. This is an SPI-attached device: https://github.com/toitware/toit-color-tft/blob/main/src/col...

If you just have an M5Stack Core2 and want to play with it, then you don't need to write a new driver though. Probably you want the examples from this package: https://pkg.toit.io/package/github.com%2Ftoitware%2Ftoit-m5s...

(The implementation of that package in the src directory is an example of using an I2C peripheral.)
Great, now dogfood it to the guys responsible for "netsh interface portproxy", easily the most unreliability "OS level" port proxying I've ever seen.
Does Multiplex Communication sounds familliar? But yeah, someone should check the IANA archives to know what really is "commplex-main".
It's true. The Not Just Bikes channel has a video on walkable neighborhoods in the US. They're all massively expensive because of the high quality of life.

ZK, a plain text note-taking assistant
After studying a lot of economics over the last few years I realized that most people have a poor understanding of the concept of debt so I stopped using the term technical debt almost entirely.
Having tried a number of notebook type devices I'll just add that the Remarkable (v2) is excellent. It is not a computer, not an iPad, just an excellent digital notepad and eReader. Price, yeah its high but you get what you pay for and this is something I do find genuinely useful for reading and taking notes.

Is it perfect? Far from it. There are lots of silly UI decisions that make no sense (e.g. limited pen size) and clunky modal menu system. So there is room for improvement. Why they don't incorporate the ddvk remarkable hacks into an update in one quick update I do not know - the ddvk hacks change the remarkable from a good device to a great one. See here:

https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-hacks

But otherwise, I would recommend strongly for these specific use-cases. I still have to have a laptop with me occasionally, and sometimes an iPad. But if I am reading a PDF it is always with the Remarkable.

The battery life is pretty amazing, the lack of eye-strain fantastic, carrying a ton of books that I can catch up with wonderful. Digital note taking is the best in class due to the screen and pen/nib combination. (Yes lack of search and OCR is a bit annoying but I don't really use it, even on the iPad in Notability).

Anyway, I wanted to offer these thoughts from someone who reads a lot on the remarkable and takes notes daily.

Wish it had: More pen sizes, different highlight shades, easier syncing, iCloud support, better tools for cropping pdfs before sending them, etc.

Would I buy again: Yes.

This is interesting, but I don't think it is universal. Specifically I don't think it matches me. I find social contact even with e.g. my girlfriend or my son tiring. Even though e.g. my girlfriend is amazed at just how relaxed I seem to be. And in a sense it's true - around people I am comfortable with nothing will faze me. I can sit in a meditative state with total chaos around me with ease. But whenever I participate in any way, it drains me. Doesn't mean I don't like spending time with people, but if I participate in conversation or engage in any kind of way, no matter how enjoyable or chilled out the situation might be, I need alone time afterwards. Lockdown was so relaxing for me. Though it seems to be predominantly in-person contact (though I don't really know where e.g. video calls fall), sometimes even online interactions drain me and I just totally shut down and ignore the outside world to relax.

As an interesting addendum: To me the type of social events that are most draining are opposite of yours. When I can set myself apart (such as holding speeches, even in front of huge crowds) or by "drowning in the crowd" like in large events where I can just ignore everyone most of the time, I'm fine. It's like being alone. I held the commencement speech for my university in front of thousands of students, faculty and a TV crew. Piece of cake. Small groups where people expect interactions, on the other hand, even if they are people I'd totally trust and where I can let my guard down totally, are brutal on my energy levels and far more stressful as well.
Lots of them do. They try, for example, 8080, then 8081, then 8082, and so on.
Argentina doesn't even have Amazon retail, they only hire for AWS and Ring as far as I'm aware, and I don't think they are striking.
... that's not what your original comment was claiming the link is a source for.
Oh, that's great to hear -- and thanks for the terminology! Do you have any pointers for where shallow vs. deep handlers can be compared in the Multicore OCaml literature? I've seen the non-syntactic support via `try_with`; I'd guess there's a similar function for the other flavor of handlers, but as a newcomer to the OCaml community it's not obvious where I should be looking.
I learned Nix a couple days ago because I needed a build system for my project that could handle many different tools: Java+Gradle, Thrift, Rust, Python, CUDA, etc.

It's been kind of a pain: Docker is easier to get started with. But the payoff seems higher because it does handle all these tools in a sensible way: For development I can switch between subprojects written in many different languages and get the exact Python, Java, etc. and all necessary libraries are in scope.

I've gotten it working on Linux, and I expect a little more work porting to Mac OS for teammates(mostly for things like switching from CUDA to CPU based on system), but using it should be similar to Linux. Mac doesn't support cgroups or Linux containers so sandboxing is weaker than Linux, so it's better to develop Nix projects on Linux and add other platforms afterward.

I would recommend it for polyglot or Python projects. But for single-language projects with a sensible dependency manager(Rust Cargo), there's not as much benefit.
how does it compare to tinygo ? (https://docs.toit.io/language/toitversus compares only vs 'not made for iot' languages which is not very relevant to do)
Looks interesting. It also looks like they're planning on opening it up a bit, but people are still waiting for ssh access etc [1].

If garbage collection happens on a separate thread, and makes allocation much faster, is it really “slower”? You have to call malloc which will try to defragment your memory, and then later you will have to call free. Those block the calling thread, if anything, for certain problems they are slower than GC.

It's practically not possible without a Master's degree. However, these days it is easier than ever to do independent research in ai. If you have some interesting results upload them to arxiv and network with other researchers. Having a bunch of papers published in reputable journals may be a way to get into a PhD program.

> Is it really that you're addicted to them? Would you suffer real withdrawal were the internet to be out of order for a few weeks?

There's various types of withdrawal. Your life wouldn't be at genuine risk compared to the withdrawal you get from various drugs. But yeah, it's entirely possible that you'd feel horrible for a while. True for me, at least. I suggest you try it to find out (never rely on your ability to perceive your own addiction! check and see what actually happens).
I personally find an iPad and a apple pencil either with Notability or the default Notes application the nirvana for me. Looking at paper is overrated, IMHO, a modern retina display with at least 69hz refresh rate shouldn't objectively cause any discomfort, unless you're using it under really adverse situations, like under direct sunlight.

That might well match me better than the person above, in that it fits well with the fact I don't have a problem with people I can keep at a distance and where I understand the expectations just fine (e.g. holding a speech happens within a very narrow set of parameters; I don't need to interact much with people) draining me, but even my son is exhausting (I still love spending time with him, but need time to "recover").
The advantage is $6/year/device. You need to raise some barriers so people don’t immediately switch.
ps. I also own a Boox Note Air, and the remarkable quite simply blows it away. When I bought the Boox I loved it, but after getting the Remarkable there really is no competition. I do like the Boox for its novelty value, running weird things on an e-ink display, but I don't use it for notes or reading anymore.
I am having troubles deconstructing your response to my overly left left wing redditors ... ill informed snarky one-liner.

If it were not for my personal liberterian stoic philosophy, the slanderous nature of your your nonsenseical "left / right" political labeling would offend me. None of the comments here really have any ability to diminish great work, by renowned public intellectuals, and your words only act to diminish yourself.

Perhaps you should read some of the philosphy of Mr Jordan Peterson, there are many fine lessons to behold and I really believe you could benefit from many of them.
Probably better, just not in base.
I'm guessing this has little to do with the content of the courses and more to do with the wealth and connections of the individuals surrounding said institutions.

What's New at Python 3.10 and Why You Should Know That?
Indeed, when you depend on a package from a Nix channel, you implicitly depend always on the latest definition of that package in that channel.

When the version matters, Nix has separate packages for separate versions. There are separate Nix packages for Python 2.7, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 or 3.10, and there's OpenJDK 8, 11 and 17, etc.

You probably don't want to depend on an overly specific version anyway. If a security fix for one of your dependencies is released, you want it. Furthermore, CI ensures that everything within a channel is maximally consistent.

Wanting your documents and writings to not be fully accessible to CCP intelligence services....is not exactly "heightened security requirements" to me.

This device is basically completely un-trustable.

Leaking information related to financial stuff, research, invention, product design, or legal/government work. For a publicly traded company any manner of documents / notes on a device like this could spell trouble.

Plus, if they're able to identify something you don't want others to know, they have leverage on you.
Interesting analogy. Bottled mineral water companies have sold you the fear of drinking tap water, with a product which is orders of magnitude more expensive than tap water, and nearly always with in one-use plastic bottles to boot. (Though I reuse them to hold tap water.)

Agile companies sell the fear that You're Doing It Wrong.

What resonated most with me from the satirical piece was:

> If you ever see a software product with a copyright date before, say, 2001, it is a work of fiction, placed by The Great Cunningham to test our faith.

I've read accounts of the 1980s-ish days at MS, Apple, VisiCalc, and other software companies.

So far I have yet to read one which used waterfall.

Modern Agile proponents seem to define Agile as "not-waterfall", so I guess Wozniac's Integer BASIC in the 1970s was developed using Agile methods. /s
Pretty much, yes; however this would flag up as a flaky integration test, prompted you to fix if you have a hard rule about no flakyness in tests

For CLI Go or Ruby. Go has nicer distribution.
That might be a matter of taste, or which ORM you've used previously. Personally I think it's the only sort of okay ORM, besides Go's sqlx, which is barely an ORM.

You do need to have the documentation handy, and writing efficient queries can be tricky, but it is the ORM that makes the most sense to me, and the easiest to get started with.
The sentence immediately before it provides important context as to what it's referring to:

> A substantial decline in immunity from mRNA vaccines 6-months post immunization has also been reported [9].
>Even though vaccinations offers protection to individuals against severe hospitalization and death, the CDC reported an increase from 0.01 to 9% and 0 to 15.1% (between January to May 2021) in the rates of hospitalizations and deaths, respectively, amongst the fully vaccinated [10].

It's referring to an increase in hospitalization/death 6 months after vaccination, compared to when you're first vaccinated. That's very very different from your statement that "countries with higher mRNA COVID vaccine coverage have (slightly) higher covid-mortality than countries with low/lower vaccine coverage".
This is so true. The fastest implementation I’ve ever seen of a priority queue in PHP looks nothing like a priority queue by taking advantage of PHP’s sparse hash maps (aka, arrays). If you use any “standard” implementation it will be slower. I imagine this is true of most optimized algorithms in most other languages.
For completeness sake:
--------------

so next house is going to be made from Poroton instead:
https://archello.com/product/s9-p-climate-neutral-poroton-br...

reasons:
Easy to build, integrated insulation and loadcarrying in same simple structure, and (this is the mayn reason why instead of foamed concrete) it is permeable, meaning that you do NOT need active ventilation system (Causing dryair in winter etc.) and air moisture is constant year round.

you coat it with a silicate based coating on both sides (also permeable), and nothing else. The result is a breathing house, that is net-zero, you can even build your bathroom from that stuff and it will just wick moisture from the air and slowly release it again.

wonderous stuff.

Lobsters & crabs are risky to eat unless they are very fresh (i.e. they have not been dead for too long). If you buy a dead lobster and then cook it, you have much less assurance about when it died hence the freshness than with a live lobster.

If you buy a live lobster, how are you going to practically kill it before boiling it? Try to penetrate the hard shell to impale the brain using a layperson's skills and equipment and risk slicing off a digit?
I get a lot of satisfaction out of fixing hard to solve bugs. Those that initially look impossible to track down. It may not be earth-changing but since it satisfies me it is meaningful.
It is interesting that 'novel house designs' usually get dumped on unsuspecting prospects without taking all of your excellent points into consideration.

Building a house is probably one of the skillsets that humanity has worked at for the longest, usually the set of criteria above would make for a good starting point modulated by available materials.

But sometimes it helps to let go of that for a bit and to just see what kind of options the materials themselves give regardless of the real world criteria, with the hope of extracting something useful that can be made to fit into the real world environment, for instance by adapting it or by re-using some part of it.

But for real world mass produced housing that is meant to work for the long time tradition is an excellent place to start, both for utility and cost efficiency.
Who cares if the author is off by a few years/decades? The fact is our entire planet is pretty much fucked because of industrial capitalism. That the next generations will struggle for finding drinkable water, because our generations have polluted all of the sources. That depending on where you are on the planet, it's gonna get much warmer or colder, and take away much of your local ecosystem along the way.

Who needs realism when we need a sense of drama and urgency to take action? Literal decades of friendly scientists and smiling politicians going on TV to "explain" changed nothing.

I don't think many people are "getting joy" from boiling a lobster. Even amongst those who do, I would guess that it's often out of morbid curiosity rather than from inflicting pain.

This deals with two different things, I feel.

I tried this - I forced myself into social situations daily for years, and kept a log to make sure I could guarantee that I actually did. It did make me far more comfortable, but it did not at all affect my energy levels.

I think comfort is probably necessary to maintain your energy, but not sufficient.

In the end I stopped because it made me miserable and tired. I don't regret having spent some time doing it, and I learned a lot, but it certainly did not change my introverted nature.

I'm sure to some people it's about comfort levels, and so I'm not suggesting it can't work, and it's probably worth trying for people who feel socially awkward. But for me the main thing it taught me was that I don't want to be a social person.

The castle is full of administrative offices and various bureaucratic departments that run the town.

The protagonist gets the number of a bureaucrat and wants to contact him at his office in the castle.

The fact that the number he’s given causes all phones in all offices in the castle to ring, and the people who answer don’t know or care about what he’s after, just adds a layer of confusion and difficulty to his goal of getting to the castle.

Knowing Lua, what advantages would I see if I tried using Toit instead? what disadvantages? how about eLua in particular? how about OpenResty with LuaJIT maybe? (I'm asking honestly to try to understand, including which level of "IoT" it's trying to target, which I still am lost at, even after trying to browse to toit.io - which only added to my confusion suddenly seeing "containers" and ESP32 mixed in the same sentence there.)

Most of your requirements seem to be driven by local customs, culture and existing materials, not actual local conditions.

The expectation that a non-ventilated underside will lead to mold and air quality problems is strictly a wood frame issue. A gravel base with a hard EPS insulator and a continuous hydro proofing membrane will prevent all the issues raised, and is a common construction technique even in rainy climates. As long as the floor level is elevated more than 30-40 cm from soil level, it will stop all seasonal floods; and if you live in a swamp where you regularly have floods over 30 cm, that's a rare situation that requires particular solutions, not relevant to 99% of the housing stock.

Similarly, the idea that rain should not touch the walls. If the walls are hydro proofed and water resistant, the rain will simply run over them and into the ground. The goal is to have a durable house where water does not come in, we should not be prejudiced against any technical solution that achieves it.

Why should a house built from polystyrene foam last centuries? Do you own any car that lasts centuries? Why can't a 50 year house be good enough, if it means you can provide very cheap housing to a destitute family for two generations, breaking the cycle of poverty and allowing the grandchildren to replace the structure with something more durable and up to date when they will be able to?
Interesting idea, but yea, your last point would probably be the outcome, sadly.
