The author misses I think an important point regarding enums: using a union type instead means you can't iterate the list of valid values without restating them in the value domain in a non-DRY fashion. The reason enum generates code is that it is both a type construct and a value construct... That ends up being useful in myriad contexts.

Nice work, Alex! Really like the simple design, but do I need to directly pay to sign up and check how it works or is there a trial?
If you don't need data persistence then consider redis instead (which can also do persistence if you enable AOF)
But to salvage whatever is left of their reputations outside a small group of true believers, they have since acknowledged that the laptop story is real.

After the election, of course ;)

The most annoying part of where we are is that I no longer know where to get fair reporting. I guess its always been like that, especially for foreign reporting, but its so laughably bad now :(
I disagree with the point about enums, they can be used to alias otherwise inconsistent long strings with more readable, consistent, succinct ones. For instance, product SKUs. I've had absolutely no problems with them with either past or current tooling (e.g. esbuild).

They can also be used in the more traditional form to represent some arbitrary values.

They shouldn't be overused, though.
I think the idea of counting steps is more aimed at truly sedentary people, or those who aren't going to the gym at all. Based on the hypothesis that some exercise is better than no exercise at all.

When I was doing 15k steps a day, once I had gotten past about 10k, I started just naturally speeding up to try to fit more steps into my lunch break. That at least added some mild cardio, which led me to start tackling stairs. I was working in the Detroit Renaissance centre, which has 4 towers with 39 floors and 1 with 73. Before losing that job I was beating 15k steps and 39 floors every weekday, which definitely helped my overall fitness level!
I think you're missing the .4 of 1.4B in your second sentence.
It's in fact exactly in Horizontal scalability that it becomes important to have control over exactly what resources you need to scale :)

Let's take a typical monolith. You'll be serving endpoints that:
- Are CPU intensive
- Are memory intensive
- Are I/O intensive

They are almost always heavy on some part, but not all. And definitely they are not uniformly all relying on the same amount of resources.

Now, you scale out horizontally, adding instances of the same size because each of these monolithic instances need to be capable of serving the entire domain without impacting tail latencies. Some part of your application becoming more resource intensive? You'll be bumping up the sizes of the entire monolith because you are essentially needing to do the equivalent of provisioning for peak load.

Contrast this with microservices (which I'm not arguing are a silver bullet), you can run your memory intensive part of memory optimized instances, and run your compute intensive parts on compute optimized instances.

That's the part about scalability.

Now, the more interesting part (for me, personally) is reliability. You are decreasing your blast radius of a bad component/thread/process taking down your entire monolith service, and instead compartmentalizing it into limited subparts of your entire API or application.

Finally, as you mentioned, microservices do help guide you towards better choices when it comes to structuring your data. You can do this with monoliths as well (and should), but it doesn't come naturally, and having a single data store is the main reason I see teams run into scalability issues :)

---

Addition: Some thing I don't see many people talk about is the ability to address tech-debt in Microservices. My experience has been that it is an enormous benefit to have made you domain smaller for when it comes to making changes that require sweeping across the whole codebase. Examples include upgrading language versions (e.g. Scala 2 -> 3, Haskell 8.10 -> 9.2), upgrading frameworks, introducing stricter compilation checks (e.g. TypeScript and strict: true).

These easily end up being either insurmountable or year-long projects in a monolith, where it's very hard to incrementally benefit from the work because they are often by nature all or nothing changes.
A continuous revelation is more sustainable
To be honest this sounds like bullshit.

Either it's optical, but then microfilm would work much much better...

Or it's digital but then it's obvious bullshit, because how could you possibly read that data back with your phone???
I'll be interested to read the article that actually addresses the title of this linked article.

I feel like comparing digital art to digital media like books and music is a bit apples to oranges. Additionally, the 2nd hand market for books and music is pretty bottomed out so I think it's a fair assumption that if a blockchain marketplace actually takes off over just pirating cracked copies, then the price of 2nd hand digital media would be begin to bottom out.

So, given that one can pirate an ebook fairly easily and there's still a market for ebooks, is a 2nd hand marketplace for digital nft media a valid concern?

Inadvertent is no excuse and adding that "context" to the statement would tend to be misinformation as its not a valid excuse in the context of clinical trials governed by strict policy. Its "we followed policy" or "we failed to follow policy", FDA is not equipped to audit the entirety of all locations and there is a hell of a lot of trust involved. Pfizer getting their bell rung over these infractions should be expected and appreciated not refuted.
Perhaps in a subscription model, where some good content is spread amongst many providers (with almost all providers having exclusive ones), mediocrity will be the ultimate stable point.

As the subscription money keeps flowing, there is an incentive to publish a minimum number of new series / shows / what not, and there are only so many good ideas at any given time.

Add to that, there is no clear profit/loss equation for online streaming (even though you have viewership numbers, there is no definite link between retention and viewership numbers for a given content. As an example, I just saw Eternals on Disney+, just because of the marketing and branding, but felt bored of it. Clearly I am adding to the viewership, but not to the pull factor that keeps me on the provider)
I'm glad to see this answer. I'm in the same situation - my ISP sent me a modem/router. I use that. Don't need much else. It's even got a guest network (not that we've had many untrustworthy visitors in the past couple years).

But I'm also glad to see the other answers here because we recently moved the home office to another room slightly further away and we're going to need to throw some WiFi boosters/repeaters in here.
Well yeah isn't that the obvious answer :)
ADHD presents most strongly in childhood, (specifically hyperactivity which diminishes with age, though not everyone with ADHD has hyperactivity) so if you had it you can look back and see it.
Based on your definition, then any static analyzer is a type system, because type information and the usage of those types is basically all that’s available for static analysis.

Types define what operations can be performed. The borrow checker looks at allocations and determines when they can be freed. It really has nothing to do with types. An ideal implementation of the borrow checker could be totally type unaware and work with dynamically typed languages.

Well I think traditional media have acknowledged that the laptop is real. Of course that doesn't mean there was anything salacious on it and the excerpts arent in fact fake
Agreed on the latter point. But on the former, would it though? Prior to the internet, isolating yourself from the world involved making a very deliberate and drastic life choice that completely changed your environment, like joining a monastery. Now though, a compelling and addictive alternate world awaits us in our pocket at all times. Indeed, I doubt either of us really cares much about this “conversation” or each other yet here we are wasting part of our morning shouting into the void. On that note I think I’m done with unintentional internet use for the day.
Based on how two of the four points key into it, I think the author is stuck using a tool in their tool chain that doesn't support TypeScript and has been bitten by that tool doing something Byzantine in response to TypeScript-generated code.

That's a problem a lot of developers won't have. I've covered a lot of ground without ever finding a tool that either hasn't been retrofit to support TypeScript or that has issues that are tickled by TypeScript generated code. My blunt recommendation if somebody hits that problem is to find a better tool.
One does not need to know the difference. It being entertaining does not change the enforceability.
Since this seems to be generating some controversy (presumably because Big Pharma?) what alternative research and drug discovery, development, testing, and manufacturing ecosystem should we as a society strive for?

There are some interesting startups in the space, but mostly they seem to be focused on ML-driven lead generation. I’m optimistic, but not aware of a grand slam demonstration of success on this front. Honestly some of Derek’s discussion makes me hesitant; are the data one would need to assess things like oral availability and manufacturability available enough to make the current ML approaches viable for creating the finish line? How critical is the role of all this tacit knowledge?

Are there smaller more lab focused drug discovery outfits that would benefit from some policy change that gives unfair advantage to the BigCos with the scale advantage?

I use the guest wlan as an IOT network. Network segmentation! It is not very secure as the other subnet and network is addressable, but it is better than absolutely Bo isolation.
We also use LEAP on most of our servers. It's rock solid. I prefer it to Ubuntu after they snap-ed everything. Newer packages, seamless upgrades. Not so many packages though. We're still using Ubuntu 18 on development workstations, but that could probably change the second SuSE decides to offer >2yr free tier support.
The demo video uses a low power torch, focuses on a single point on every other card, but moves around on the Totenpass, and they cut away while it's still cool enough the person recording can momentarily touch it.

Gold is a fantastic element in that it's extremely non-reactive, and therefore resistant to most other things. The problem with gold though is that it melts at relatively low temperatures and is pretty soft. Alloying with nickel gives it hardness and raises it's melting point, but it's still well within the range that you could just straight up melt this using a MAP gas blow torch like is used for plumbing or really any significant fire event.

Additionally, the other downside of gold is that is scratches very easily. Their FAQ makes it clear that this is still a problem for Totenpass. The only advantage I see to a Totenpass over and M-Disk is that a Totenpass doesn't require any specific hardware to read, but both after being created require archival quality storage and care to prevent damage to the media. You know what else doesn't require specific hardware to read and survives a long time with archival quality storage and care? Acid-free paper. And it's a LOT cheaper than Totenpass.

Is this a joke, or do they actually think there's a market for this?
The TypeScript ecosystem is bigger than just the official compiler, though. Many projects use alternative compilers like esbuild or @babel/preset-typescript for their main pipeline and only use the official TypeScript compiler as a typechecker (with `--noEmit`, during CI).

It's true that enums are harder to support for alternative compilers. Especially `const enum` seems to be harder.
yeah I didn't really believe it, just didn't feel like doing the effort of researching it because in reality its never come up in practice for me. which hinted at it not being a real problem anymore.
That and HR Geiger.
I'm an absolute enemy of both "fact checking" and corporate regulation of speech, in coordination with government, on forums as large and general as Facebook. That being said, this supporter of the Facebook action, who is well qualified to speak, offers very good arguments that this was not science but instead guest editorial by a regular woo/conspiracy pitcher, and another specific indictment of recent BMJ editorial decisions.

Didn't convince me that "fact checking" isn't vile, but it convinced me that in this specific case, the content was shit:

But const enums are gone after compiling. They're just namespaced constants that are inlined. I don't see how this could cause any problem.
Could you clarify that? Are you saying you were charged some crazy price during the storm and the bill was forgiven?

I do recall the legislature (or courts, maybe) stepping in and offering some relief to the people who had "market-rate" plans.

The author is not saying that they don't know how to prove rigorously that their algorithm is O(n log(n)). They have rigorously proven that.

What they are saying is that they don't know how to prove that you can't do better than O(n log(n)).

Schönhage and Strassen conjectured that O(n log(n)) was the lower limit for this problem, and it seems that most experts believe they were right abut that. Hence, the expectation that with the discovery of an actual O(n log(n)) algorithm we are at the end of the road for this problem.
It is an honor to take on progress.org and bring an understanding of how our relationship to land, natural and socially created wealth affects our lives and our futures. A younger generation can get the resources needed to see clearly the impact of how the incentive structures around us are making life harder and preventing our well being, and hopefully organize a movement.

The heart of the understanding of Henry George, Guy Standing, Thomas Paine and others is that that which we received as a gift must be commonly owned, the rental value of these common assets can be used to pay us all renal income in the form of Common Wealth Dividends, reduced taxes on our earned income, greater funding for local public infrastructure, and expanding of all forms of Commons.

Capitalism that preserves and expands common wealth is neither rentier capitalism nor socialism, it is real capitalism as envisioned by the classical economists. Once that respects the stewardship of our environment, and one where the incentives that create entrepreneurs are no longer confused with extractive incentives that create rentiers or monopolies. In this new economy, entrepreneurs are celebrated, rentiers made obsolete.

Owning common wealth together is how we can ensure that as humanity progresses, we all progress together. Connecting human progress to the direct upliftment of us all.
The distinction needs to be there, from the moment FB (or Twitter) has a conflict of interest: their revenue depends on the content being engaging, regardless its factuality.

In my head, if they do any filtering or ordering of content, they have to be accountable such content, since they are exerting a de facto editorial line.

I don't really understand how a newspaper publishing an incendiary op-ed can accountable for it, whereas the same thing as a viral FB post won't hold FB accountable. The only difference is that an editor picks the former, and an algorithm picks the latter.

Is that it? Does delegating responsibilities to a computer make us any less responsible of the results?
I have one like that. It contains pictures of cats.

Thank you very much. Yes, I just saw my doctor today. I have no thyroid so we are adjusting my thyroid meds, which may help a little. It did once before, so I’m a little hopeful. She also prescribed a new sleep medicine I haven’t tried yet (although that’s not my ideal way of handling this. I would rather get to the roots but after 50 years I don’t think it’ll help much.

I fucking hate that
Twilio did that to me. I applied in Jan 2021. Heard back in May. I had begun interviewing and was about to get my first offer. The HR had the gall to say she can't offer nearly that much but I should interview anyway. I did interview, only to see how the process would go for a Developer Evangelist.

I aced the interviews but there was a week between each interview- even after telling the HR about the now nearing joining date. I got a call one day before my joining date at a new company and was told that Twilio would pay about 20% more. I didn't take it. The HR sounded like money would buy anything. Maybe I was wrong. But I feel I did the right thing.

> But before that there were countless competing models for creating objects or object factories.

Java and C# had object factories even though in those languages classes could not be avoided. People wanted classes because they could not figure how to program without them.

> To pretend…

Don’t use this or new in your code and suddenly a tremendous amount of your code is exposed as unnecessary superfluous vanity. That isn’t making the language into something else.
You answered your own question:" The internal messes are always being built by people on a steady payroll."

The internal software is a direct money sink to a company, it is _VERY_ visible to the organization that they're pouring money into a product that's only tangential to making money. So internal software is allowed to be developed until the point where it becomes useful, but not more. You can argue how wise it is to use internal software, or to prioritize it in this way,but the incentive for not pouring more cash at it (wrong as it may be) is clear enough.

Disclaimer: Author of many awful internal tools.
It does, white rice and white flour - for instance - don't exist. We're supposed to eat the whole grain with all the micronutrients. Industrialisation removed them for no reason, and enabled never-before-eaten substances like trans fats, and tablespoons of polyunsaturated fats (seed/vegetable oils). Then refined sugars come along, too.

So yes, you are not evolved to eat these substances. You do not need them. You can survive perfectly without them.

Yep, plenty of gravestones are weathered to the point of illegibility after 100 years. Pick that mineral carefully. Or maybe go with a ceramic?

> Surely if you allow some device to have such a massive negative impact on your life then this would be the case even pre-90s before computers and the internet became mainstream?

Yes, but we are not living in the pre-90's. The internet is the TV/bar/etc. for us now. Some of us recognize that we not only gained but lost something as well.

And we want what we lost back.
What exactly do you mean by hacked? This isn't a product with some singular security aim, it's an evaluation platform that's come from an ongoing large research project. Previous work (using FPGA and software simulation) will have found and fixed many architectural issues. No doubt more will be found here.

In a sense the entire aim of this is for it to be 'hacked' to further improve the security architecture.

What are the advantages of enums over a string literal union? I can only see disadvantages.
That's not right. Woke is an adjective form of SJW (Social Justice Warrior) and almost exclusively used by people who disparage people interested in social justice in a sneering way. It is meant to be insulting but it does have meaning.
I live in Dallas, weather is notoriously hard to predict. However, the big freeze last year gave plenty of warning as a big blob of cold air moving south out of Canada. It was exceptionally severe and long lasting. I’ve lived here through other extreme (for Texas) winter events but that affected a larger portion of the state and longer than any other one I have experienced.

I expect hard freezes and occasional ice during winters in Texas but consecutive days of single digit highs I do not.
Const enums specifically are great, since they disappear on compile you can use them to internally document strings/numbers with verbose names/comments without the cost of a const variable that would appear after compilation.

As for the fact that types cannot simply be stripped out, I've found building using plain tsc and have the bundler target tsc's output directory. This separation is needed since most tools don't support TypeScript project references anyway which I find extremely useful for organizing internal modules.
Thanks, but I'm really only interested in the parent replying.
