It is always fascinating how many problems that are simply stated are difficult to solve. Whenever I see something like this I try and think about what the repercussions would be if an efficient algorithm did exist, and that helps to understand where the complexity is. In this case I believe there would be many problems in computational geometry involving Euclidean shortest paths that would be made trivial by an efficient algorithm here.

Looks like they forked _a_ Matrix messenger (FluffyChat, which I haven't heard of before and which doesn't seem to be "the" official Matrix messenger, if such a thing exists) and are running a non-federated Synapse server on the school premises.

That sounds like an overall good idea to me. The client fork might be questionable, but it's clearly targeting a non-technical audience (or, not necessarily technical), so having a low barrier of entry makes sense to me. Kudos to them, hope they can keep it maintained.

I own no crypto and I think it's a ridiculous piece of hype, but I think all that reporting (and, on twitter, all that schadenfreude) about bitcoin (etc) going down is nonsense.

If you look at a 5 year chart of the BTC value, it's still super insane high and it's been going down hard once before (summer 2021). If I were a crypto fan I'd just tweet HODL like every previous time.

It is what we need to remove all the useless cryptocurrencies and projects that are only there to pump each other bags and exit scam retail investors. This is why you have people telling others to 'HODL' or 'never sell' with wild predictions of BTC going to 100K or DOGE going over $1. [0].

This is nothing. This is before the banning, and crackdowns of the other useless cryptocurrencies and the tether scam. So let us sit back and watch it go even lower.

After I bought my cross-country skis, I for the first time feel almost addicted and so happy and full of joy when I get to step outside, put on the skis and go on a 10km track that goes right past our house. When I look back, I remember being hesitant as with all things I buy whether I should do spend my money or not (what if I won't ski that much?), but now afterwards I am very much thankful to myself for buying the skis even if they were expensive. As we say, 100% worth it, including the good amount of experiences I've had with them so far.

Because crypto is a stable asset to put your money into

No, because people buying a luxury air yacht care about going from A to B.

If your claim is that there is a market for luxury air yachts that are extremely expensive to maintain, require a huge crew 10x larger than a yacht, are 10x "smaller" than a yacht, and can't remain stationary somewhere nor from A to B, but instead only can go "wherever the wind goes", then I don't believe you.

Feel free to prove me wrong. But the amount of yachts in Montecarlo during the F1 grand prix suggests that a significant market of the luxury yacht market does care very much about going from A to B, and about being able to remain stationary in their yacht somewhere.

So not being able to go from A to B and having to put your "yacht" inside a crappy hangar without views to be able to stay at one particular place pretty much kill the idea.
> Everything is on sale.

Such meaningless phrasing. If something wasn't on sale, nobody could buy it. The crypto meme of dips in the price being 'a sale' is key to hooking the uniformed new fish into the great ponzi scheme.
I'd say that packaging an app for NixOS should include rewriting all such impure steps, and making the fonts packaged along with the app is one such step.

If the fonts can't be packaged for licensing reasons, even as a separate package, then well, you indeed can guarantee that you'd be able to install the app next time. If it's not what you seriously need, then likely the value proposition of Nix is not for you.

> I think he was commenting on other’s misinterpretation and misapplication of the original point.
He is dead-on.

Other's *Imagined misinterpretation, or is there some evidence to go on? To my knowledge, the recent push back against consumption was against the traditional life pattern of accumulating new things on the rat race track (new car, house, upgrading your tastes, expensive clothes to keep up with your peers). Having read some pop psychology books (no expert) there seemed to be some academic support for pushing back on this arrangement and rather prioritizing relationships with people around you and experiences / shared experiences.

I'm not sure how the wires get crossed and people take from that narrative, to own less and buy more prestigious items and experiences like an expensive haircut.
This is kind of a weird post.

The author seems to be anti living in "prime" locations, at least that's how I read the tone when talking about the "downtown studio" with no space. I mean even if it is expensive, the whole point of that downtown studio is to enable experiences, either directly by gaining access to them or indirectly by simply giving you more time by reducing your commute (eg when I lived in NYC I quite deliberately lived a 5 minute walk from work).

Second, I can't help but think of the Fight Club quote:

> “The things you own end up owning you. It's only after you lose everything that you're free to do anything.”

I think observers miss this point when they see people living more alternative lifestyles (eg tiny homes, on a boat, in a van). All of those things you own require upkeep or even just space to store them. This is a drain on your income and if you want to keep having them it increases how much money you need to support them.

The only part I really agree with tangentially is the "overconsuming experiences". Like this is how I feel about people who climb Mount Everest. It's long since lost any achievement value really. I can't help but feel that "experiences" can reach a point of trying to fill a void that'll never be filled.
> Some sort of opinionated framework that compiles to Nix would be great for maintaining large Nix projects. (The Javascript world already went though this phase.)

Out of curiosity, are you talking about Typescript? Not really a framework, but I can't really think of a framework that 'won' in this sense for JS, and also compiles to JS.

On the front-end there's Svelte, which is actually compiled with Javascript, and React, which is has the biggest market share of opinionated Javascript frameworks, but at best you could say JSX is compiled to HTML.

On the back-end, there's express, but that doesn't involve any compilation, and is far from opinionated...

Interesting argument (from a waste perspective). If 99% of all trips are 10-20 miles isn't over-building battery capacity more wasteful than building out charging stations with a much higher utilization? Cars would be more expensive, and, presumably heavier and do more damage to the roads. Charging infrastructure is relatively cheap compared to the millions of additional cells that would require mass quantities of non-renewable resources

Well, I don't do these things and am just fine without them.

Aside from that, those are 2 different things: Google inserting itself everywhere to spy on people and people requiring Google's (dis)services. If a person does not make use of Google services, then it can be argued, that they do not need or require Google services, even, if Google decides to spy on them. Being spied upon does not provide the person with any service and as such, they do not rely on it at all.

> One, if NATO had no intention of accepting Ukraine and Georgia, why wouldn't it (or whichever countries are responsible) commit to this as Russia wants it to.

Why would they and what would Russia give them in return? Just allowing Russia to effectively obtain veto-power over NATO membership by threatening non-NATO state would be political defeat for the West, not to mention that existing NATO member countries from Eastern Europe would be opposed to this for obvious reasons.

> That would defang Russia's false narrative about NATO expansion.

This narrative is only needed to confuse Western electorates (there are some "But Russians just afraid of NATO aggressive posture and only want to feel secure!" people even in this discussion). After isolating Ukraine it would be easy for Russia to leverage the resentment that Ukrainian people would undoubtedly feel after being rejected by West like that in order to further destabilize Ukraine by using it is propaganda talking-point ("We were telling you that West have been using you all along!") and by sponsoring pro-Russian politicians which have hard time getting to power in current political climate. If that fails they can always use old-good "protecting Russian-speaking people" narrative to justify invasion.

> And the other, if you are offering an argument from a counterfactual (NATO could have accepted Ukraine long ago, as you say), why didn't Russia, if it intended to devour Ukraine, do so seven years ago when Ukraine was at its weakest? Arguably, both Ukraine has become a tougher nut to crack since then, and the international community has agreed on how best to punish Russia if this happens again.

I don't think that real full-blown occupation is their goal (more like a last resort). They just need to destabilize Ukraine (both politically and economically) by staging a quick campaign that results annexation (de jure or de facto) of more territories. If in the process they get land corridor to Crimea, then it would be a double win.

People who got in early have $billions of BTC that they’d love to liquidate at current market prices if they could cajole enough USD buyers to cash them out without crashing the price. The ideal manipulation is to keep the price somewhere in the current range, not to pump it too high where normal suckers start thinking about selling.

Another manipulation strategy is taking the price lower, collecting USD by having a bunch of suckers buy leveraged shorts, then manipulating the price up to wipe them out.
It probably has been tried already by someone, but how about this: all square roots can be written as repeating continued fractions [1]. With a bit of work, continued fractions can also be summed [2] and compared. Wouldn't this take less than exponential time?

A practical approach is sometimes useful. Write a simple "Hello World" in C and compile it with full debug symbols. Then open it in GDB and step through. Or alternatively, open it in Ghidra and follow the instructions to see how they map to higher-level code. Try the same on increasingly complex programs. Try the same with C++ instead of C, or Rust to see how different languages produce different ASM. Try compiling to ARM versus X86 to observe the differences in architectures.

This is taken out of context a bit. What's said is that range doesn't matter if you're not doing long hauls (which he defines as 150+ miles).

I tend to agree with him, as the majority of drivers are rarely driving over 150 miles in a day. In that case any car with 200+ miles of range will easily meet day to day needs with no fast charging. I've personally found this to be true as I come up on 6 months of EV ownership. I've only needed to fast charge 1x, and that was due to me accidentally not plugging my car in all the way one night.

He explained his viewpoint more thoroughly in a post linked just after your quoted line:

> networking setup is free/cheap/doesn't require a Cisco cert. you can trust a developer to set things up.

Bare metal hosts set up the network for you. You may need to know how to configure a local network interface. Even if you actually rack and stack many colos will give you a drop with network set up. You don't need to do what you describe unless you are building your own DC.

> object storage is so much easier than any file hosting scheme you can come up with

That matters if your data volume is truly massive. Only a small percentage have this problem. Also AWS inbound is free so you could upload big data to AWS and warehouse it there if you wanted. Not using big cloud for everything doesn't mean you can't use it for anything.

> the path from container-on-a-host to container-in-a-cluster to container-in-{serverless,k8s} is extremely straightforward

This is the one spot where admittedly you will have to spend more in administration. You'll need to either run your own k8s or Nomad or adopt a different configuration, and you may have to think about it a bit more.

> I turn all my dev/test servers off at night and they don't cost me a thing

You could still do this. Just host live somewhere else. You could also test on a local VM, which is what we do. Obviously that depends on how big your app is.

> consumption based compute will result in a much cheaper solution than a VPS or colo (admittedly there are many assumptions baked into this)

You only see the savings if they are passed onto you. What we've seen is that Moore's Law savings have not been passed on by cloud providers. Look at what you can get at a bare metal host compared to how much the same compute costs in cloud. Years ago the difference would not have been so large.

Bandwidth costs in cloud are insane, and most use asymmetric pricing where inbound bandwidth is free. This is known as "roach motel pricing" for a reason. Data goes in, but it doesn't come out.

> some core services (like sqs, sns on Amazon) are extremely cheap and have provably reduced development time because you're not having to build these abstractions yourself.

Fair, but they make their money back elsewhere. Those are lures to get you locked in so you now have to pay their crazy compute and bandwidth egress charges.
