Any stateless service can be scaled horizontally. But the fixed cost of running the JVM is higher than the runtimes in other ecosystems (say a rust application as an extreme example). The JVM has had an outrageous amount of effort put into having it scale well for large heaps with high CPU counts.

As the OP points out, GC in java-land isn't worth writing home about on 1vCPU. When you throw a 16GiB heap at it though, with 16vCPUs then you'll unlock some of the really interesting optimizations and garbage collectors that the showcase the JVM in an advantageous light.

So it's not that the JVM can't scale horizontally - that's a matter of system architecture - it's that scaling it as 100 tiny nodes is far less impactful than having 5 large nodes.

Canonical really likes to develop their own technologies for some reason rather than use RedHat's. Upstart vs. SystemD, Mir vs. Wayland, Snap vs. Flatpak. Ideally there should be one standard for each with perhaps multiple implementations but for some reason it takes a lot of time wasted on duplicated effort before Canonical gives up. Not sure who really is making better cooperation here impossible but so far it seams RedHat's versions tend to be winning in the end, probably because they at least pretend to be openly developed with community involvement and don't focus on just one distro.
You’ve obviously never seen orgs with /16 IP ranges, or developers/ops accidentally screw up, for that matter.

Chrome don’t actively publish nslookups on public sites.

Thank you for sharing this view. There are a few nails in reddit's coffin and this is certainly one of them.

I used to be able to gauge real world opinions on reddit pretty accurately, i.e. be aware what was happening before the curve. That is gone now.
The funny thing about the point about similarity between Russian and Ukrainian languages is that linguists will tell you that Ukrainian has more similarities (shared words, and syntactic constructs) with Polish and Belarussian than with Russian.
Afaik if you fsync an SSD with dram cache it won't hit the NAND cells. Those SSD do have some way to flush before they lose juice though.

This problem will only get worse as language models get better, making it cheaper to flood a forum with bot comments that look more and more like real humans. Moderators and users alike will spend far more time and resources weeding that stuff out, while it takes far fewer resources to post that stuff in large volumes.

The only way to counter that is to have some kind of account verification requiring 1 account per person. Such schemes are all either very unpopular ("Why does reddit need my passport photo!") or very ineffective ("So I just need a new IP and I can sign up for a new account? Great, I'll set up 1000 accounts")..

Microsoft gives well meaning but overzealous security teams too many knobs. It’s one of the reasons they can check off so many security checkboxes.
Even nowadays go to electronics shop and try buying a laptop without Microsoft tax (without spyware which OEM Windows is). Since their beginnings they used predatory monopolistic market practices and as a result they could fart out miserable things like their entire development ecosystem.
Great to see more Bash here. I think for me it comes down to size. If I just need to spin up one server, it's surprisingly easy (as I show in Deployment from Scratch), but of course if I have to do something more complex, I would prefer Ruby/Python. Certainly bookmarking this resource, thanks!

You can extend these triangles and tetrahedral analyses into higher dimensional simplexes, which give insights into structure of categorical probability distributions as number of categories increases.

One interesting property is that the volume of the simplex goes something like 1 / n!, which breaks a lot of intuition of what happens as n gets large.

this is partially because of the earthquake codes.

a major earthquake tends to happen once every generation, and building codes tend to get updated after them. If you buy a house not compliant with the current rules it is more likely to kill you; most damage in the 1995 Hanshin earthquake, for example, occurred to buildings predating the 1981 building code.
I'm not sure I agree, I think school does an excellent job at instilling subservience/deference to authority that a year of on the job training, while effective, cannot quite replicate. What's learnt easily is often forgotten easiy, and I think that applies to the levels of compliance we need for the modern workforce.
> How do you know which verb form is past and which form is present?

There's lots and lots of context. One interpretation will fit the data much better than another.

Eg in spoken languages the equivalent of 'I' is used much more often than any other pronoun. Similarly simpler sentences are perhaps more likely to refer to the present than the past; eg past tense is much more likely to come with an additional specification of _when_ stuff happened. That information is less kind of a given when we are talking about _now_.

I agree that all these connections are only probabilistic and you need enormous amounts of data.

Btw, GTP-3 can translate between English and French to certain very limited extent; but that's probably mostly because it has seen example translations.

To give you a testable prediction of my theory: if you trained something like GPT-3 on a corpus that includes examples of natural languages A and B, but never any piece of text that contains both languages, yet alone example translations, I would expect that nevertheless, the resulting network would share the same internal representation for the concept of 'cow' in both languages.
Laptops have batteries, so an AC power failure doesn't mean they immediately crash: they just keep running on battery until the battery gets low, at which point the system cleanly hibernates.
I just moved from Chicago to Edinburgh, and have about ten years of experience doing full-stack webdev at various startups. I've looked into a few UK jobs and they all seem to pay about a third or at best half what I was making at my previous job with a SV startup.

At some point my hand will be forced if I need a visa sponsorship, but for now it's a pretty tough sell.

I’m talking months to find someone. Many candidates apply and look good on paper but turn out to just lie and made us waste many hours of interviews.

As for the why, I suspect one of the following:

- good candidates already have a job they love

- people are not willing to relocate (job is remote but inside one of the countries we are operating in, which is 80)

- there is simply not enough people in the field, which goes back to my first point

I knew the director of Textlite, Hugo Krop. He was active as an investor as well, a coke junk and went around with a body guard with a gun at all times driving a black armored (so he claimed) Mercedes.

Textlite was the brand used for the LED light bars which they designed and manufactured, and which were a runaway success.

The PX-1000 was his brainchild too, but it never got the market adoption that they were hoping for.

More information [1], [2].

Weird but interesting character. Hugo had a bit of a lifestyle problem (to put it mildly) and when Textlite cratered he went into all kinds of really shady deals, one of which was a fund that ostensibly grew trees in Latin America.

Eventually he went to jail [3] because it turned out that those forests of trees didn't exist. He died recently (in 2018).

I have a lot of funny and some not so funny stories about Hugo, he wasn't the nicest man due to his habit but when sober and clean was smart and interesting to talk to and tuned in to trends that others only saw much later. You can think of the PX-1000 as an early version of what today would be called a cryptophone, a mobile way for people to communicate securely.

What is interesting is that in this particular context instead of the main use case highlighted being criminals the case of Nelson Mandela and his army of supporters is used to exemplify the power of such a device.

This was in the age when all information traveled in plaintext and to suddenly have someone sell a device that afforded 'pretty good privacy' was a thing that the intelligence services found hard to deal with.

> How unpleasant school is compared to work.

Well, I just started studying to get a degree in something I have already worked, and let me tell you, it is extremely fulfilling and enjoyable in ways I could not have imagined.

And I don't say it is easy or trivial, I have to prepare for exams and stuff. But just looking from the perspective of the actual experience, it is great.

And having worked for some micromanaging if-I-pay-you-you're-my-slave unpleasant bosses in the past, no, hard disagree. Work now is good, but it was not good twenty years ago when I started.

Having said that, I am in Europe. Other places should offer different experiences.

>> I was considering reading the book to see what the calculations are and how they refute those correlations.

> He talks about this stuff too, for example, as education is correlated with health, he also estimates health benefits in his return to education calculations.

> The problem with many correlations that you mention is that they are, indeed, just correlation. There is scant evidence on there being casual relationship, or, for that matter, the direction of causality (eg., couldn’t it be that more prosperity allows people to consume more formal education, rather than formal education bringing about prosperity?).

Actually there is plenty of evidence that there is a causal relationship, again Rosling is a good resource. There are many countries who moved out of poverty by investing heavily in education, Sweden (where Rosling was from is one of them). I think when there is such a significant correlation if you want to dismiss it you need to bring some pretty good arguments.

>> Now from what you're saying, he actually wrote a book with a click-bait title and which is about something very different from what the title implies (I guess "on the financial return of investment of a college education" would not have gotten the attention he wanted). And now he is complaining that education researchers are not engaging?

>Financial return to education is just one chapter of his book. The book is actually really detailed, and covers multitude of aspects. In fact, in the very blog post you are commenting under, Caplan in explicitly says:

> Some critics called me a philistine: “Education isn’t about making money; it’s about becoming a whole person.” Never mind that I wrote a whole chapter against this misinterpretation.

But that part wasn't my point, my point was is it good for society.

> Of course, nobody expects you to actually have read his book before you can express an opinion about topics it concerns, but maybe, before accusing him of clickbait and stirring artificial controversy, or his alleged bitterness that ed researchers are not engaging (he’s not even saying that, by the way), at least read the article you’re commenting under.

Hold up, I've simply based my assessment of what you said:

> The vast majority of post-secondary students say they attend post-secondary education in order to increase their future earnings, so Caplan calculates the financial impact of various degrees, and then figures out how much is attributable to the various factors.

Now you're saying that this isn't the case and accuse me about jumping to conclusions. I actually am interested in the book, now that you said it is not just about personal ROI.
> It’s well-known among developer tools creators, for example, that integrating with GitHub and GitLab will help make your tool much more useful and appealing.

Certainly not for me personally, nor for the 10 or so companies I've worked for as a freelancer over the last 10 years. Among them are some - real - market leaders as well as small and fine companies that are extremely demanding when it comes to self-used technology (including development tools, of course).

Just look at who the owners of github (most people know it) and especially gitlab (most people don't) are.

More generally, just the single arbitrary picked difference between one company producing something tangible and another producing a pure software product should be eye-opening to anyone who has had both types of experiences. As for my career path, I've worked in instrumentation, avionics, cars, and Embedded, among others. Each with a very different culture, even among themselves, not to mention compared to software companies.

The initial idea was a customer request was to specify ranges as key=x->y;key2=z->w when uploading a file via a header and then specifying the key as a substitute for Range on get.

We chewed a bit on that and found that the zip method was much more flexible and easy to use, where the file name effectively is the key. Either would require client-side changes, so we might as well make it as easy to use as possible.

I am clearly talking about electricity generation on earth. Seem like a totally unnecessary thing to say as you knew very well in what context I said it.

> But I agree to that. The technology is there.

There is a very large gap been established principles science and commercial license.

> Did you know, that you can make batteries in bulk with no rare elements, with just iron, copper and saltwater?

Yes I know all about companies like Form Energy and many other battery startups.

But if we are actually honest, most of those are not deployed. Most grid batteries deployed today are still Li-Ion.

> And also, that you can transport electricity over long distances and that we have abundance of sunny desserts?

Yes, but all those things come at a cost. Localized energy presentation has been the principle and it made a lots of sense. Starting to in far more long distance energy line and local distribution of that energy had a number of disadvantages.

> But whether solar or nuclear - the main problems that remain, are that in most parts of the world, it is still way cheaper to just burn coal and oil.

That is why I fundamentally believe in nuclear, based on first principles it has the potential to be cheaper. There is no inherent reason a nuclear plant need to be more expensive then coal plant. And nuclear fuel should be cheaper then coal in the long term.

Nuclear plants can be put on a ship or floating platform and put right next to most of the large coast bound cities in Asia. Alternatively you can just go to a place with a coal plant put a nuclear plant there instead.

I just don't see those nations build a distributed networks of solar and wind and battery connected across long distances.

Places like Indonesia are massively expanding with coal, their population lives on the coast.
That is only for enterprise SSDs. Consumer SSDs do not have capacitor banks to do a full DRAM flush. Some have capacitor banks to ensure data at rest integrity and some use another mechanism for that, but I'm not aware of any that will guarantee full cache stability.
The latest Microsoft stack is easily one of the most productive development ecosystems that exists today.

Just look at the default contents of .NET6 vs everything else out there and it doesn't even seem fair anymore.

We build a product for financial institutions that serves interfaces to multiple classes of devices and integrates with 15+ different 3rd party systems. It has to address concerns of multiple lines of business and regulatory regimes simultaneously.

Any sort of ideological hang-ups are dashed to the rocks in my mind when I see how amazed the customer is with the final result. All of that principled idealism melts away after receiving their sentiment.
Not to spoil the fun, but the solution is in the image filename of the map
Honestly I don’t know. The order-of-magnitude performance difference in deferring the flush feels worth it to me if the risk is mitigated to sudden power loss.

I would think when the last of Apple’s hardware moves to ARM they’ll ensure there’s enough onboard battery to ensure the flushes happen reliably across form factors even if there’s a power cut.

If anything, now that the reason for the performance difference has been identified, I’d hope to see numbers for Linux and Windows storage access come up to par with these numbers as they go down this road too (e.g. via the NVME flush toggle mentioned in the article).
Interesting suggestion, I'll see what I can do.
Quoting is not enough, as that won't handle filenames beginning with dash correctly.

>Why has nobody done this? What am I missing?

The answer is in your proposal:

>- Charge 1 cent per search, or as much as is necessary

90% of people do potentially hundreds of searches everyday. Especially non expert users that practically use the search engine to search for the domain of the sites they need to go too.

The people ready to pay a fixed fee /per search wouldn't be able to cover even a fraction of the infrastructure costs of : "search engine that is actually good"

Then there is the question of what good means.

Google's solution that "outside links" are considered as "votes" that this site is good is what made it good but also what made it vulnerable to SEO.

Do you have any other idea on how do you decide if a result is good or not beyond the literal text search?
