> If you’re going with a microservice:
A Kubernetes cluster
A load balancer
Multiple compute instances for running the app and hosting the K8S cluster

Try running a high-traffic high-functionality website without something equivalent to this. What's this magical single computer you'll be running it all on? You'll need a cluster of servers on a rack somewhere, managed the old fashioned way. You'll need equivalent tools to deploy to them and monitor them.

I think what this article should be getting at is that low-traffic sites shouldn't start with microservices, and maybe that's true. But if you're trying to build a business that scales rapidly, you want to be ready to scale your website from day one.
>That's nice to hear. So the SIM swappers have to double their bribes.

Most SIM-swappers are retiring with their ill-gotten crypto, but the ones remaining are at the "bribing prosecutors" level now.

With crypto skyrocketing and the pitfalls of SMS becoming more apparent, I fully expect the jump to amateurs purchasing and leveraging state-level 0days against unwitting wallet holders.

The gap between profit and cost is getting larger, and more crypto-millionaires are going to get their Teamviewer 0dayed.
I'd ask you to consider the possibility that it doesn't matter how long an individual serves, what does matter is whether that person's party can lose power. It's an argument explored by Achen and Bartels, and I wrote about it here:

I wouldn't expect the election to immediately boot all the congressfolk out who engage in this activity - and it is a tacitly accepted activity... greed is (much to the detriment of society) generally considered a virtue in America. However, we have seen several upcoming politicians specifically pledge not to engage in this behavior and get big boosts from their declarations. I think that society is in a place where this behavior is generally considered unacceptable but that it will take a while for that to catch up with congressfolk. I think it is perfectly rational for the behavior to be shamed since, while people aren't overthrowing the government over it - there is a general disapproval of the action.

> If you don't engage in this behavior, you are leaving money on the table and the only person you hurt is yourself and a nebulous, distributed entity we call "society".

I disagree with this statement because I think it is putting too much necessity on maximizing personal gain - there are plenty of reasons not to engage in insider trading and refusing to do so doesn't "hurt" you.
I will say this is the experience of myself (male) and the men I know in the bay area.

Those of us with the right combination of desirable traits have a choice of partners, scheduling a few dates a week with attractive women is no big deal if you're in that group. Conversely, my friends without such a combination struggle to get a date at all even if they trying to date "down" or "at their level" (I recognize these are crude terms, not sure how else to express the idea). Most of these men are pleasant and have decent jobs but they appear to fall below some line where they're considered for dating unless things evolve very naturally within a longer platonic relationship.
How does Go handle the ambiguity between [] meaning generics and [] also meaning array?
Maybe because breaking up a monolith has proved to be as hard as combining microservices, once you get past the obvious and trivial steps.
Guy who hates micro services here (worked at a startup that tried to adopt them because the CTO's consulting friend who works in enterprise convinced him of how great it was).

From what I can tell, micro services are primarily a solution to an organizational problem and not a technical one and I think people trip over this. If you have 600 developers working on the same back-end then you can benefit from micro services, because you can't possibly fit 600 developers into one standup. You'd never be able to coordinate.

There are rare technical reasons to choose micro services and there is value to micro services when they're used correctly but if you don't have those precise problems then you don't need micro services. List would include situations like having a subsystem that utilizes far greater resources then any other sub system and would be more cost effective running on specialized hardware

Most importantly tho for going 0 to 1 is context. Context is king and always will be. Start ups should not do enterprise services patterns because their not enterprises and neither is the guy coding alone in his bedroom. Your not Netflix. Your not Google. Those companies are going to be so large that they'll encounter every kind of architectural problem. All a start up needs to do is communicate, release, communicate, iterate, repeat. It's the equivalent of asking yourself what did NASA engineers do to send a rocket to the Moon when you're just a guy trying to start a car and get it down the road. Baby steps, for the love of god, baby steps.
You can use type parameters in functions, but not methods. Methods are functions which have a receiver, so:

// This is a function, you can use type parameters here:
func Foo[T any](g T) { ... }

type bar struct {}

// This is a method, you can't use type parameters here:
func (b bar) Foo[T any](g T) { ... }

In the second case, "Foo" is a method which has a "bar" instance as a receiver.

I've edited my original post to make it a bit clearer.
There're Tiktok influencers that make 100x what my boss makes. I feel underpaid.
If you view public service as requiring sacrifice, perhaps, but if you wish to attract folks you need to at least bring decent pay to the table.
I left Windows desktop for Linux two years ago, and what I realize now that took a while to happen was a shift in mentality:

- When you use Windows, you consume the OS. Everything about it is given, all you do is take.

- When you use Linux, you take part in a give-and-take relationship with the OS, because the OS is attached to a community that works on it, around it.

Using Linux means that you're not going to have everything given to you on a silver plate. But you also get to make your own silver plate and pass it around.

Sexual Economics: A Model of Heterosexual Behavior by Dr. Kathleen Vohs
> but are they not less likely to be homophobic

Ah, you know this actually hadn't crossed my mind. That's a good point, yeah it definitely takes a comfortable sexuality and a very tolerant/open view of sex to sign up for escapades in a room with your friends and their partners.

I could definitely see a strong correlation between homophobia and animosity towards groupsex involving more than one male.

Indeed, I've seen the "No way, that's gay!" reaction before.

However, most of my male friends who seem upset at the thought of a partner not being monogamous somehow were fine if the scenario involved one guy and multiple women.

I don't really understand what level of mental gymnastics goes on for such a level of brazen double-standards to occur, but hey, I'm not here to judge anyone's sexuality or stance on adult acts.
Logstash is a hugely popular application for collecting/processing/shipping logs, mainly associated with elasticsearch ("ELK") but has lots of output plugins. It uses log4j, so if one of the log events it was processing contained an exploit string, and also caused logstash to encounter an error processing or shipping the message*, that message would get logged to logstash's own log, thus triggering the exploit deep in someone's infrastructure.

* probably not too hard to come up with a way to break one of the many "grok" pattern regexes https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-patterns-core/b...
"The sexual invisibility many men feel as teenagers is a trauma that will live with them for the rest of their lives."

I enjoyed reading.

>A catcall isn’t just a catcall, it’s a symbol for the entire social structure around the power exchange of sex.

The traditional gender roles were well balanced. throughout recorded history there were differing cultures and different approaches but it was generally balanced; but egalitarianism since roughly the 1960s broke this balance. Economically and culturally this has been one of the best things we have done.

However, that's what broke the balance on things like catcalling. Virtually nobody is doing it anymore and that's kind of a problem. It's worse, now we have tinder and tremendous amounts of high quality porn. The women's 'thing' has drastically reduced in value. Even if we want to get back to the balance, we cannot anymore. We must now find a new balance.

>Sometimes I feel like women who are trying to end the game don’t realize that the game exists because women have the Thing, and people want the Thing and aren’t getting it.

Oh yes, those folks who want to break the game don't understand the situation at all. Worse yet, this effort is not only doomed but the effort itself will only make the game worse in their eyes.

This is the complicated part. We have moved to a new balance and I'm not sure what this balance is or will become.

Operation Brace Yourself
A fair point - unless scams tend to be one-shot, it’s relatively likely that the capital accumulated from a scam will go towards unproductive ends (other scams). However, I still think it’s plausible that the allocation of scam profits is better than the allocation of scamee wealth. The sort of people who buy into NFT monkey rugpulls or whatever might just spend any surplus wealth on a new TV or something.
Agree. But start with modules immediately. SOLID applies to modules as well as classes. [And if we're talking about Rust, then substitute "crate" wherever I write "module"]. Basically be constantly refactoring your code into classes (or equiv.) and the classes into modules.

It's super easy to join multiple modules into a single application: the linker, JVM, whatever does it automatically. It's insanely hard to break a monolithic application into modules.
Who is hiring? (December 2021)
Companies should really stop collecting domains as Pokémon-cards. Not only are abandoned domains risking to be hijacked, either by the fact that the whole domain expires or that you have records pointing at servers no longer in your control. But also you are teaching your customers to click on phishing-links, because apparently the e-mails you send out to customers contain a new domain every time.

Also, a general tip is to treat all domains and subdomains as information assets within your ISMS. Meaning they should have an explicitly assigned responsible owner within the organization.
Yes, I have seen that pattern too. I hope they fix it this time.
You need to know which updates are bad and which are OKish. I assume there's a list somewhere, right?

Abstract dating theory in a very real way creates "incels," where before there were only men going through a rough patch.
I've also seen such behavior occur because of burnout/depression. Sometimes the person themselves is unhappy and embarrassed about it too.
> If it was a smaller company they would be called out

Don't be so sure. It is HARD to get fired in this job, sometimes. You have to be actively toxic, or your boss has to have a buddy they want to hire in your position.
> Or the people drawn to the tedium of early programming were just really good and mentally twisted in the right way to enjoy it.

Agree.

I think what was happening was the the lack of feedback fit the mental models of the people who were attracted to computers early.

For another example of this,Ken Thompson famously said that he never quite understood why anyone would want to see the whole file they were editing instead of the single line.

But instant feedback attracted more people to programing.
Well, it is not like Windows is free from annoyances.

That at least for me were worse than inability to hibernate.
I can relate. I was just about ready to exit programming until 2 things came along that removed all the analysis paralysis for me.

1. Elixir + Phoenix

2. TailwindCSS

Elixir because you can build a monolith with it and everything is naturally separated by design. The runtime makes it impossible to hurt yourself. It addresses virtually every web use case in an ideal fashion that balances development speed with long term maintenance and scalability because of the language design trade offs.

TailwindCSS because it removed the decision about which of the million frontend stacks in should be using. It makes it so easy to do anything I can dream up without feeling like I need to hire somebody to help with a pet project.

And honestly, even though I like DevOps and database work just using Heroku/Fly/Gigalixir so I don’t have to worry about it makes my life easier.
If you count DeepL translations as "ML-generated", I bet it's actually higher.

People who are smart and greedy have much more effective ways of satisfying their greed than investing in fly-by-night crypto schemes. This typically looks like selecting a career path based primarily on its expected return.
I'm an atheist, but the philosophy of Buddhism (westernized as Mindfulness) makes a lot of sense for me: we suffer because we desire, and we suffer less when we desire less.

I had to unPavlov myself when my phone rang during home office. As soon as it rang, I assumed it was trouble and wished it would go away. Now I just answer, and if it's trouble, at least it doesn't bother me more than it should.

Same goes with positive desires. I had to learn to enjoy working from home as long as possible, and not stressing because we would return to the office eventually. Home office has ended for me, but the last couple of months were less stressful because I stopped wishing for it to last more.
'Consciousness' is just a synonym for self-aware. Goldfish are not self-aware.
Would think it would then be a trivial matter to point to some sort of actual errors in reasoning or conclusions in the actual post.
> Many European countries have extremely generous benefits for raising children, but it has been broadly ineffective at raising birth rates

Yeah because even in Germany the Kindergeld of ~220€ per child per month isn't nearly enough to cover the extra cost in rent, much less the actual expenses that a child brings with it.

When most people below 30 struggle to make rent, even without children, and actual ownership of a decent sized home is even more unrealistic, they won't have children.

What's wrong with a gerontocracy and how does that relate in any way to stock trading?
This comparison feels like it's less about Node vs Rails and more just about "batteries-included framework" vs not. (Although, perhaps there isn't really a Django/Rails equivalent in Node yet? I'm not definitively sure.)

>I’ve always found it hard to climb out of the plumbing, forget about it.

This is the crux it of it, and it's true for any web project not relying on "magic" frameworks. And of course, it comes with tradeoffs. Namely, frameworks can be inflexible, and they can be difficult to understand/debug under the hood.

There is no escaping these tradeoffs, with any framework or language. More magic means less plumbing and more initial speed, but less flexibility and potential issues as complexity/scale increases. It's all about trying to choose the best tool for the job.
You can have third parties under FPTP. The UK, Canada, India to name a few have them.
Not why so much work, but rather why do you put up with it?

I've never understood how companies like this can still exist in today's job environment. Does everyone get paid significantly more than market rate or have equity doubling in value every quarter or something?
That's just it though, once we start considering how to fix one issue, we realize that a particular design decision is part of a wider architecture, and it's impossible to change the one design decision without undermining the whole architecture. It's like software, in a sense, that if you try to quickly patch a system, with no regard for the assumptions of the system, you will end up with tech debt. That implies that actually fixing the problems with our democracy requires a hard re-think of certain fundamentals. If you're at all interested, I plan to spend the next year writing about this issue:

Quite the opposite: abortion ban dehumanises woman by denying them their basic human right: the right to decide about their body. Abortion ban isn't fundamentally any different from mandatory organ donation from living donors.

(This of course ignores the fact that the ideological basis for abortion ban is literally just stupid; it was Acquinas himself who explained how flawed the idea of "life from conception" was.)
Thanks, sorry for the initial comment which is in retrospect quite cryptic, haha.

I should be clear, this is the Wikipedia summary. The actual wording seems pretty similar (although it is a bit wordier).
The API-based integration does track impressions. Besides that, you can also use codegen, which doesn't.
The other good thing with requiring proofs is that you can show specify exactly where the proof fails and the one giving the proof can use this feedback to correct their beliefs.

I would actually be pretty okay with a model that can do that. Take feedback and correct themselves without resorting to retraining. It would still be pretty far away from a general AI but much much better than a black box.
Submitted 1yr ago, 177 upvotes when the current front page is ~1000. I wouldn't call it "the point of the sub."

I just think it's super reductive to look at that sub and decide that the problem is that women are golddiggers. That place speaks to a lot of the fear, frustration, and disappointment that, anecdotally, plague many women's dating lives.
"Catcalls on the street are fine, because they are 100% okay with being a one dimensional sex object to strangers."

That is just feminist ideology. Why is being sexually attractive "being reduced to a one dimensional sex object"? Why is "having the thing" separate from being a woman? Humans in general are sexual beings.

Also the comparison is just between women and rich men. What about the vast majority of men who are not rich.

The "power game" also is not that hard to understand, mostly women want something valuable in exchange for "their thing" (to keep with the language of the article).

And rightfully so - one of the ironies of feminism is that they want women to give away the services of their wombs for free. They are supposed to birth babies, sacrificing months of their lives and risking their life, and then still go to work as if nothing happened. How exactly that is empowering probably requires a gender studies degree to understand.
Removing it doesn't change the results for me.

I have a 5950X also; what are you getting for the benchmark result? I'm getting around 4.06.
Many of the popular examples are hotly contested and based on acendata
You are correct in that it's not based on an explicit social graph (i.e. who I tag as my "friend"), but it is based on an implicit social graph (i.e. who I like watching/listening to).
One thing I don't understand about the suggestion to remove my phone number from 2FA is that 1FA seems worse. I'd prefer something like Google authenticator, but none of my banks offer that. Did I misunderstand the suggestion? Is there something else I should do?
The OP literally makes it into one. The post is literally called "power imbalances." How is this not a conversation about competitions?
Thank you, I see this viewpoint better now. Not certain I'd make the headline different knowing this, but this is good to keep in mind.
NovelAI is already a hosted service you pay for. It is specifically used for fiction writing, though it's got a ridiculous amount of neat experimental features, from prefix tuning (a lightweight ad-hoc fine-tuning method which can make the AI write in a specific style based on a training dataset, you can train your own with a custom service they run too or just import one of the thousands other users already made) to keyword replacement for "memory" past the general context limit, to inline annotations ("author's note") which can steer the AI towards a particular direction, style, or theme.

That said if you just want to see how GPT-J-6B works there's a browser demo here: https://6b.eleuther.ai/
it feels like only 5–7 years ago this assertion was 100% taboo and you wouldn't hear it anywhere but male sexual advice circles, which naturally meant that there was a certain stigma attached to said assertion. it also feels like this was entirely common knowledge at some point in the recent past, maybe only a few decades ago, yet I was raised to be entirely ignorant of it and I know I'm not alone.

as a young, then-virgin, then-sexually-frustrated man, coming across knowledge like this felt like learning important, key rules to the game you're playing halfway through, while people are screaming that these rules weren't actually in the game anymore, because they never should have been in the game to begin with, and that's why nobody told you.

now it's the top-voted comment on a top story on the front page of a website whose average community views would certainly not be described as "traditional" or "conservative" ...yet here we are.

it's very interesting to observe shifts in acceptable discourse and society in general within the span of my lifetime. who knows where we're headed next?
LOL this came to my mind too. And also the more tech-centric treatment it gets in 'Developer Hegemony' is well wroth a read.

OP is making a perfectly rational decision.
That’s a nice idea but how do you do credit assignment for childrearing purposes? Sadly even in modern society, sex is not entirely unliked from reproduction and we still expect, often legally demand, fathers invest resources in their children. I thought part of the deal with monogamy came from ensuring stable male parental investment and a good way to achieve this is through monogamy as a proxy for fatherhood.
The amount of slacking your allowed to get away with depends greatly on your job/boss/organization.

If you're a slacker, almost everyone around you knows.

The usual reasons I've seen for keeping slackers around include:

1. maintaining resources like budgets and office space

2. it hard to fire and rehire a position just because someone is a slacker. If HR thinks you are able to get by with a person slacking, then they will let you fire the slacker and not let you rehire someone else.

3. You could always end up with a worse employee. I'd personally rather work with someone who was predictably slow at working, but was otherwise a good employee than chance having hiring someone who has poor hygiene and body odors (usually a heavy smoker, who doesn't regularly bathe or wash their clothing, that douses themselves in musky cologne)
I would argue they both have advantages. JavaScripts golden trump card is that it runs in the browser and outside of ASM.js or wasm nothing else can.
