AWS isn't a single "thing", or perhaps, it's only a bundled brand. There are many teams, sub-companies, divisions, groups all working on their own parts. Most have to follow a similar set of rules and some attempts are made to make it cohesive, but in the end it's not a single minded entity with a single set of parameters it follows for every service offering.

You can run your stuff on AWS without ever touching compute, storage and networking yourself, and you can also run your stuff on AWS by only touching compute, storage and networking and nothing else. You can guess your risk wrong and do everything as a root user in a single account, and you can create an account vending machine in a well-architected organisation with policies in place to prevent the huge amount of footguns lying around everywhere from going off.

There are so many ways you could be using it that trying to put a single label on it seems pointless to me. Just like the only constant you can count on is 'change', the only 'proper' usage or terminology in terms of AWS is what you know, what you need, and what you ended up doing. This includes shooting yourself in the foot with CloudFormation because you accidentally thought CDKs are your friend and JavaScript was the best tasting language for your goal, or thinking that clicking around in the console would be a good way to get your department of developers up and running.

I did take a look, but at that time they didn't have what QueueExplorer needs. I wrote in another post that we use relatively complex and powerful grid component. Grid is core component in this case and can't be a basic one.

However if you don't have such specific requirements, Avalonia or Uno might work.
Can you explain how it’s a complete mess? I have been interested in economics for a long time and as such read many published articles but I have a hard time actually applying it to anything in the real world. Often the majority of economists are completely wrong just look at recent inflation predictions. You don’t have to look hard to find the field is consistently far off the mark.
The original article from which this is excerpted: https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/08/25/1031783/isrib-mo...

Honestly, the tone of this article is so hyperenthusiastic that it makes me skeptical. Calling something a "miracle molecule" and describing it as a potential panacea without strong evidence doesn't give me confidence; it sounds more like a sales pitch for a dietary supplement.

> the list of potential therapeutic applications for that molecule sounds almost too good to be true.

Maybe...because it is too good to be true?

This is a really good review.

Anecdotally, some years back I started developing pretty bad RSI from typing. I was also a pretty mediocre typist. So I switched to Dvorak and got serious about touch-typing. I found it much more comfortable and since then I've never had any problems with typing-induced RSI.

With QWERTY, I was doing all sorts of things to try to stop the RSI. I tried to control the position of my wrists, the angle of my hands, how I hit the keys. I experimented with wrist rests. Since I switched to Dvorak I found I didn't need to pay attention to any of that. I can type virtually continuously for hours at a time at >100wpm, and while my speed will drop from my hands and the muscles in my forearms getting tired, even at that point I don't get RSI.

I had another set of RSI not that long ago, but I determined that was due to using my pinky on the ctrl key in emacs. That's a pretty well known problem, but I had used emacs for quite a few years without it being an issue. At that time, though, I had started using org-mode in a big way and was using a lot of C- bindings, and hitting it that often turned out to be a problem after all. Swapping ctrl and caps lock (and using my ring finger for it) fixed it entirely.

Even if the studies say that the difference in speed is marginal, I'm convinced based on my subjective experience that Dvorak is much more comfortable. That's difficult to quantify, though, and conducting a high-quality study to conclusively demonstrate it is extraordinarily difficult.
> So back to the days where you could make a Google account with any email address

You can still do that, and it's not some obscure feature but asked about on the first page of the account creation flow with the "use my current email address instead" button. It'll be a fully functional Google account, except for supporting mail, and can be changed to a gmail account later (that feature is obscure though).

My guess would be that these legacy accounts will end up as something different than a consumer Google account created with a non-gmail address, but guess we'll see once it launches.
It is possible to have a google account without gmail
Do we have fewer houses, or more people who need their own, now than we did 2 years ago? If not, then what does this have to do with the recent inflation?
> so there is no reason not to migrate to it.

Sure, "no reason" if literally the only problem you have to solve is deploying docker containers. While I'm not taking anything away from DO -- it's actually not a bad alternative for people who don't want nor need the complexity of enterprise cloud solutions -- it's still a huuuge exaggeration to say "no reason" when Docker containers is just a drop in the ocean (pun intended) of the scale of problems that AWS (attempts to) solve.
No, that's not correct. 2PC and paxos/raft solve different problems. 2PC is for distributed transactions across leaders / primaries. Paxos / Raft is for replication / consesus. Spanner is an example of a system that uses both.
Still math illiterate, I see.
I have a UMDK and it's a neat piece of hardware, but it sadly has some design flaws that make it hard to recommend. One problem is that it doesn't make use of the !CE0 signal (the main chip select for the cartridge) on the cart slot which means it will get into bus fights on systems with TMSS (Trademark Security Sysstem, i.e. the thing that displays the "Produced or Under License by Sega Enterprises, Ltd." text). The bigger problem is that it has issues with DMA transfers on a lot of systems resulting in severe graphical corruption in some cases.
C already offers 'unsigned' type variants that offers defined overflow (together with non-negative range).

It would be useful to have another type variant that offers defined overflow (like in unsigned) together with signed range for such cases. But it still makes sense for basic integers to have overflow as UD, as in most cases it is not expected behavior.

Note that in current C, if one needs defined overflow on signed integers, one can cast them to unsigned, to the operation and cast result back to int. That makes it implementation-defined instead of undefined.

> But we have to remember that the general attitude of "I better kill him before he kills me" (a kind of fear) has been the dominant cause of violence for most of human history.

This is what Hobbes and Pinker would have you believe, but the "state of nature" take is largely unsupported by historical and anthropological evidence and is also hard to reconcile with findings from modern psychology and behavioral economics.

The heart of the issue is that humans are not mere opportunistic cooperators like hyenas---we get joy from cooperating and working toward common goals and we exhibit spontaneous altruistic behavior, empathy, and self-sacrifice. Cooperation has played heavily in our evolution, seen in our bodies being poorly adapted to solitary scavenging, hunting, and weathering but highly adapted toward leveraging social networks through language and social learning. The idea that society begins as a prisoner's dilemma of mutually-suspicious individuals emerging out of the woods into contact contradicts findings that the earliest societies were extended kin groups whose individuals benefited from the reproductive success of the entire group at a time when resources were abundant and harvesting them benefited from scale.

If there is a trap of violence it doesn't seem to begin until after solitary city life and farming. Before this point power was largely immaterial and based on social standing. The transition from itinerary to sedentary meant 1) people were living in larger societies among strangers and non-kin, so opportunistic violence had more upside, and 2) grain and weapons could be accumulated, so those with access had a new source of material power. These factors combined in the emergence of palace economies of lawgivers who managed the population through retributive justice. But peace existed before the central management of peace. The mistake of Hobbes and Pinker is to think that history began with the latter, but it is no more than the last 3% of human history.

How does it compare to a diffraction grating that costs $2? Quickly Googling this I found: https://www.homesciencetools.com/product/diffraction-grating...

One of the reviews on that page mention implementing a spectrometer:

> The 1,000 lines/mm Diffraction Grating Plastic Film was used to make a high resolution optical spectrometer. First, the film was removed from its paper 2" x 2" card stock. The crystal clear film was next glued to an optical ring that was mounted in front of a very inexpensive 1,920 x 1,080 pixel webcam. The modified webcam was placed in the back oRead more about review stating Using the 1,000 line/mm Diffraction Grating in a Spectrometerf a pinhole camera-box and mounted at an incident-angle to the incoming light beam. In this configuration different light sources could be introduced to the new spectrometer and their light spectrum captured using a USB-computer input. Thus, a wide variety of light sources could be fully analyzed at a resolution of about +/- 2nm. Using this very inexpensive (1,000 lines/mm) grating, coupled with an equally inexpensive webcam, a high resolution optical spectrometer could be built for under $25.00
All of those either require a paid subscription for syncing/storage, don't support mobile & linux, or are electron-based and take a long time to start up.

I'm not sure why they don't go the Syncthing route of offering peer-to-peer note syncing.

It's "money-laundering-for-good" but it's still money laundering.

There is a reasonable question where allowing money laundering for good would offset the use cases for those with more evil intentions.

My opinion is probably not since most people in Argentina are going to launder a fraction of a BTC at a time, but all that would be offset by the harm from criminal syndicates (drugs, human trafficking, even oppressive governments).

This feels like solving an edge case with a massive potential downside. It would be a shame to have provided a technology that freed the people of Argentina, but at the same time, allowed the narcos to enslave them.

My company [0] makes a CAD-like destkop product for architects & real estate developers. It's sold on a subscription, but the product is a native application (runs on C/SDL/OpenGL). Nothing inherently prevents you from mixing that business model and delivery mechanism. Many of our customers (especially architects) are used to installing & running desktop software.

Pros:
- You give customers the magical feeling when the app reacts instantly because the front-end doesn't have to wait on a round-trip to the server to execute complex business logic. It actually blows customers' minds to realize how powerful their computers are when you use the hardware well and don't have to wait on the network.
- You have a very low infrastructure bill.
- The platforms/frameworks/libraries are pretty stable compared to the webdev world. You do less migration work and get to become an expert in something that will be around for a longer time.
- It's easy to develop and test locally in a 'production-like' setting. I make sure my hardware reflects my customers' hardware.
- You can trace every line of code after main(). It eliminates a lot of complexity and a whole category of service communication bugs (and introduces other categories of bugs :)).
- Developers are usually more predisposed to thinking about performance (in my experience).

Cons:
- You have to buy & renew code signing certificates, which is a hassle when you're independent or a small company.
- You have to build/buy/maintain some form of installation/update system and be prepared to deal with users who refuse to update.
- You have to deal with corporate IT departments & their security requirements (we're B2C).
- You typically want to customize at least some parts of the UI/UX for Mac/Linux/Windows.
- You run into bugs from clients that are hard to debug because "it works on my machine", and you don't have access to theirs.

It's definitely a trade-off. I can understand why most devs/companies don't choose to be on the desktop.

Prior to Starlink, the residence of some of my family was rather poor DSL. The network performance for rural midwest hadn't gotten any faster in 20 years. There is no cell phone coverage because of the hilly terrain (the closest reliable cell phone location is 4 miles away). Barely acceptable video (which was necessary for tele-learning for my niece and nephew (different simultaneous zoom calls) in the past two years was accomplished by using a Firewalla two load balance two DSL connections (the "what do I need to do to make it better" isn't something that most neighbors have familiarity with nor the understanding to manage).

Starlink drastically improved the network performance. Quite frankly, without Starlink, I would have had most of my family spending their daylight hours in my house (while I did remote work too)... which again, isn't an option for most people.

As much as I'll grumble about Starlink for my night time long exposures getting less impressive and its CEO, using the 550km orbit to provide fairly reliable network connections at an acceptable speed to my family is probably worth it.
I would think a lot of people benefit from the motivation for companies to geographically diversify. A lot of the bad things about the Bay Area boil down to people willing to put up with a whole lot because of a group delusion that a certain kind of thing can only happen there.

Interestingly, I made a coding challenge for this exact problem a few years ago. You can find it on the Code Golf StackExchange website: https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/26858/guess-the....
The challenge is named after the Lingo TV show which used the concept repopularized by Wordle.
Lingo itself took inspiration from a 1955 paper game named Jotto.
Regarding strategies used in the challenge, the best performing solution was an adaptation of a Mastermind solver.

> I quit at 16 and started doing things I like. Then later I went to University and got a job through there.

This is easier (and more affordable) in some states and countries than others. CA, for instance, has a really affordable (or used to, my numbers may be out of date) community college system. Getting your associates is a great way to start when going back to university later on because it, often, covers your general degree requirements so when you go to university you can focus on your major courses (or major courses + a handful of supporting courses, but no extraneous English, history, or other courses since they're already covered). It also "locks you in", so to speak. If you start college and drop out there's usually a time limit before they discard your course credits (10 years in many places), having an associates means there is no effective time limit for those courses, you have the degree.

And then you have to look at university costs in different states. GA, for instance, is very cheap. I had many classmates at Georgia Tech from PA because the cost for a 4-year degree with out of state tuition sat somewhere between 1 and 2 years of their in-state tuition (present numbers probably different, but I know GA is still inexpensive compared to many other states). If you're patient, go to a state with good and affordable schools, work for a year, then go to college paying in-state tuition.
"Don’t like Ohio? Good we don’t care. You don’t have to live here and we have never needed to care about your opinion"

But the fake IDs we had before Real IDs were also fine. Was there a lot of fraud with the fake IDs ? You had to give one address proof earlier, and now you need to give two. What's the advantage of that ? A lot of post 9/11 measures have questionable use (e.g., TSA). People approve all sorts of nonsense when they are not being rational.
Are you trying to say that code compiled with CFI is less vulnerable than code that wasn't? In which case sure, but that's entirely orthogonal to WASM. Code inside WASM isn't otherwise inherently protected. Code reuse attacks via indirect calls are still possible, as are of course side channel attacks and data leaks.

And since WASM uses linear memory and lacks things like ASLR, the code in the sandbox cannot achieve the same level of protection it could if it was in a hypervisor.
Yeah ok, that'd be better than selecting after the fact, but it's not "the same number of keystrokes". It breaks the flow a little, whereas using _ doesn't.
