Unless they changed something significant since I used it last, the puppet language is Ruby. They didn't get rid of loops, they used functional iteration (recursion) so you don't have side effects; it's declarative. Ansible uses YAML to do the same, and it's really the only way I'm aware to get idempotent results.

Your last sentence is true only for the most trivial of deployments, at which point, why are you using deployment automation in the first place, because it's a huge tech cost to invest in. If your deployments are that simple, why ass complexity by using a deployment automation and not just do a bin dump?

Hearsay is that you have to drive more than 100 000 km in diverse conditions with the right mindset in order to become a fluent and experienced driver. With an average mileage, that will take most people around a decade after beginning to drive. Most people never seem to become fluent, experienced drivers, because they lack the practice, or the mindset, or both.

Programming by itself is a borderline useless skill, just knowing python gains you very little. There are many fields where Python is an important skill, but that is because it allows you to perform other tasks faster. That is the importance of programming, the fact that you can automate work, and do large amounts of analysis faster than you could otherwise. If you want to program embedded devices, just knowing C doesn't help you if you don't understand how processors, memory, motors, sensors, etc work. Knowing python can help you leverage your mathematics or statistics knowledge to work as a data scientist or a quant, but just knowing python isn't sufficient. Knowing python alone is not sufficient for devops, since you also need to know how operating systems, networks, cloud infra, etc. works.
This blogpost is as unnecessarily complicated as Puppet codebase.

I hate working on Puppet codebase, it is so fragile and too easy to write spaghetti.
I'm in the Miami Tech scene and the reporters experience is completely different from mine. I guess as a reporter and visitor she's only talking to other visitors. There are a lot more women in Miami NFT, DeFi, DAO, and crypto than a half dozen. That is just the bt.c/conference which I have no interest in attending. The crowd is a lot more diverse for Emerge, React, and Miami Tech Week.

I found the Bitcoin conferences appeal to a very specific demographic. A lot more interesting work is going on in the other parts of the crypto scene.

just that the common base is something chromium-ish/Blink-ish like.

I just pre-ordered the movie (digital copy). I hope it is released soon. I like owning a few movies like Prometheus, Ghost in the Shell, etc. even though they are widely available on streaming services we subscribe to.

A new friend who is a director and his wife are coming over for lunch today (I got up super early this morning to rewatch two of his movies) and it would be more than great if Everything Everywhere All at Once were to be released in the next four hours so we could watch it together.

Once you get enough users, talk to a few VCs and raise a round or two. Grow the user numbers by a few more magnitudes. Then aim to get acquired or IPO. As long as user and revenue growth are positive, not having profitability from day one isn't that big of a problem.

I'm also pretty new to JS but totally agree. Half my Python projects have zero dependencies (except for development tools which don't get packaged with the app) because everything I want is already in the standard library.

It feels like a quarter of the time I spend working on projects that use npm is spent debugging my toolchain because of excessive complexity or weird problems in random dependencies. Doesn't seem like it should be too much to ask that I can spend most of my development time working on actual code.
> Everyone I've talked to said it was a horrible act and those officers deserve legal charges.

That's great for the people you talked to, the comment was about the NRA or any other gun rights group actually defending him. Did you friends protest for him? Did they write their congressperson? Did they raise legal funds at the gun range? If they didn't, then they aren't activists.

What about Philando Castile? The NRA didn't have anything to say about that incident until a year later.

EDIT: made less combative.

> Are you proposing that replacing ICE vehicles with EVs is not an essential part of a long-term, low-carbon future?

Hm yes, a sustainable future won't be made of 3 tonnes personal steel cages transporting 1 person. There are 1.5B personal vehicles on earth right now, replacing every single one of them with the EV equivalent will just displace the problem (EVs generate half their lifetime pollution before even being driven on the street, then you have to take care about recycling, mining the raw materials, &c.)

Again, the reason bitcoin is a scam and Amazon is not, is because Amazon is not trying to promote themselves as a currency. Regardless of their stock price or how rich the founder is, Amazon is still a productive company that does useful work.
I agree with most of this, but we keep finding clever ways to knock down sectors that had seemed impossible to electrify. For instance, FleetZero claims to have a practical approach for global shipping [1]. It's not yet proven, but I haven't seen a serious counter-argument.

Even for jet travel, we may be able to whittle away at the problem with electric planes (or trains!) for short routes, and hydrogen for medium routes. Long routes may have to rely on artificial carbon-based fuels, as you say.

Pretty much anyone that is in a position to be required to produce some body of work on a regular schedule in order to advance their careers can fall into this kind of thinking imo. Unecessarily gendering it seems inappropriate. There's a lot of tropes about men gaining ground and I'd ask you not feed them.
I agree with your assessment of "defund the police," but that was an unfortunate slogan that got converted from "reappropriate funds from police to other services like mental health, counseling, etc." I think that was also politicized. I believe many police departments are entities that also fall into the category of self service and self preservation.

Our medium town spends $500 million on police and barely a fraction of that on drug rehab, mental health, etc. It certainly seems misappropriated.

I don't know much about meth, but concerning the opioid crisis, our solution was to "crack down," on prescriptions, which sounds good to someone who doesn't give it much thought. The actual outcome was people went from using a drug with a dosage printed on the side to stuff made in people's bathrooms and kitchens including god knows what which resulted in many, many more deaths.
I think the lack of real social interaction is the problem right now, not lack of alone time. These are kids who essentially spent a year and a half by themselves..

I think it is entirely reasonable to push for a (much) higher standard of police accountability. The problem is not that all police are bad and out of control, it's that whenever these incidents occur the leadership and police unions institutionally push back forcefully on accountability. This institutional pushback is what makes this into a systemic problem that needs to be addressed.
> Messages to a single user were free, but every subsequent recipient of a message was a 15-cent ($0.59 in 2022) surcharge per message, per recipient. (Imagine the impact that would have had on spam and unsolicited commercial E-mail.)

The dichotomy of the early Internet was astounding at times. Those strange beings who made things like WWW pages for free, just because it was fun, standing alongside corporations trying to make absolutely insane profits off everything that you did, where you were billed per minute by the ISP, the platform, and maybe the thing hosted by the platform as well.

CompuServe and Minitel being only a single bill from your ISP might well have saved the networks from becoming the fad that so many originally saw them as.

Though... The needle might be drifting back towards many bills from many providers, again. Maybe bundling will once again decide which corporations thrive, and which are lost... Probably not the ones that serve public interest.
Crypto is a solution to a whole host of problems that don't really exist. Fiat isn't in trouble, capitalism is - hypergrowth cannot continue forever, especially given how we're running up against the limits of our ecology, and yet capitalism as we've become dependent on it is itself dependent on hypergrowth.

Crypto is just another arm of capitalism, subject to those same problems and more of its own making. Crypto is going to need "just ten more years to take off" for long enough for us to completely fuck up this planet, and by then this little pissing match will be completely irrelevant.

Humans all have different versions of the 'driving' software installed, there's no way of identifying which ones will misbehave. If Teslas are malfunctioning, we shouldn't ground Chevy Cruise.

We exist on a spectrum of competence. If a type of car has a widespread issue that unexpectedly gets it into a state where a minimally competent non-impaired person can't operate it safely, that type of car should be pulled from the road. However, because humans are so sloppy (0 human drivers should be the ultimate goal), it is generally assumed that most accidents are caused by us, and so we require a significant accumulation of evidence to take a type of car off the road. Without a human in the loop, what's the unreliable part to point the finger at?
I don't see that as the case. Modern JS can do a lot out of the box but the culture looks down on "vanilla" JavaScript. I've seen way too many libraries that are nothing but a thin wrapper around native functionality. When your first (and only) technique is to look for a library, this is where you end up.
It's been required to do so in some northern European countries. The practical reason there is that dawn and dusk can take many hours during much of the year at higher latitudes thus creating a weird situation where it's not really clear when exactly you should have the lights on or off in exactly the kind of situation where a lot of accidents can happen if you don't have them on.

The simple rule of "always have your lights on" fixes that and it slightly improves visibility even in broad daylight. The only downside would be the increased power usage and the light bulb wearing out sooner. A minor issue a few decades ago when this became normal and a very minor one now that we have LEDs that last a long time without using a lot of power.

My rental bike (a Swapfiets) has the LEDs permanently on; there is no off switch. If you ride it, the lights are on. That's indeed how it should be. I can't think of any good reason to voluntarily reduce my visibility while cycling through potentially lethal traffic.
The contention was that price formation in art could in principle be driven by enjoyment not that people in general don't enjoy art. What if art also always has a social signaling component to its price?

Whether is it rising prices or community that gives people joy in crypto I have no data on - are there any infomative studies around?

Your drug legalization proposals might have the side effects of increasing the number of people who start taking those drugs. People respond to incentives and you can't both say that restrictions aren't making drugs harder to find and that they're driving addicts to dangerous substitutes.

Making sure my kids are not tracked and exposed to ads from the early age is the main reason I've built Kagi Search and Orion Browser. It is a long shot, but they already use Kagi as default search engine on their school-provided Chromebooks, and Orion as default browser on their home iMac.

>Those payments mean that around 80 per cent of households receive a payment that more than covers annual carbon costs; the other 20 per cent are higher-income households that have bigger carbon bills, and so end up being out of pocket.

This claim in the article is directly contradicted by the Canadian government.

>Indeed, most households will see a net loss resulting from federal carbon
pricing under the HEHE plan in 2030-31 (Table 3-2). That is, their overall
costs—which now include the federal levy and GST paid (fiscal impact) and
lower employment and investment income (economic impact)—exceed the
rebate and the induced reduction in personal income taxes arising from the
loss in income.

This is blatantly ageist and misses the point completely. The point I was making is that it is absurd to need to ask your partner to schedule you 30 minutes of "me time." If I asked that of my partner I'm confident she would think I lost my mind. Why would one need permission for 30 minutes of time at all. Truly bizarre.
Can we determine whether the package/LoC ratio actually has the quality impact that people think it has? Or dependencies/project?

Because I don't think those are useful metrics at all. In fact this is just code re-use and should probably be happening to a significant degree.

Some actually interesting properties are:

- basic performance

- signal to noise ratio

- API stability

- robustness

- clarity and simplicity...

And more of that. But just saying "a lot of dependencies bad" is not useful.

Maybe in an ideal world we have even _more_ dependencies? I don't know. What I do know is that I care about the above points much more.
The political problem is the hard part. People hear tax carbon and think "finally, those big SUVs and trucks I hate will be taxed!" and don't think "my annual international travel will become unaffordable" but that is more likely the outcome if you tax all carbon equally. The reality is people want to tax other peoples carbon and that's more like class/urban vs rural warfare than anything to do with the environment.

For me the pragmatic approach is to assume that the third world isn't going to become carbon neutral anytime soon so we are better off preparing for the inevitability of climate change rather than trying to prevent it. Sadly things like large scale geoengineering projects, genetic modification of local flora to support the new climate and other pragmatic measures aren't palatable to the crowd most worried about climate change.

> But often, companies must either accept ethical violations

"Companies" can not do anything, except be used by unethical people at the top as an excuse for their deeds.

Same. Given our requirements and price range we would not be living within walking distance of the city museums or cultural amenities anyway, and we would be about as far a walk from the closest supermarket or cafe as we are now.

I think there is something to be said for New England towns where the design of the town center predates the automobile and is therefore pleasantly dense and walkable. They just don't seem to make towns like that any more.

If you can be 100% remote and don't need the transit options to the big city then just a little further out you can find charming towns for even less.
Consumer debt soars to highest level in over a decade
I don't think anyone is pushing mass adoption of EVs as the whole solution to the climate problem, but it largely solves for the "consumer transit" share of the climate problem. Of course, if you're hinting at doing away with cars, then yeah, people are fixating on EVs because getting rid of cars is completely infeasible, politically, economically, and environmentally (it would be a decades-long project that would involve tremendous emissions to address a small part of a problem that we have only a few decades to solve in total).
> Bizarre default sorting behaviour

You are meant to pass an argument to [].sort; If you don't, it falls back to the most generic thing that makes sense -- which is turning everything into a string and sorting lexicographically.

Arrays in JS can have any type in them, such as [number, string, function]. That's obviously very unlikely, but the only thing in common between all types in JS is that they can all be explicitly turned into strings.

And yes, I agree that throwing an error here for no argument would be better here (a linter WILL enforce this), but this is hardly a critical shortcoming of JS's standard library, and you DEFINITELY do not need a utility library just to use the language (especially for your examples).
That'd be the letter agencies calling the shots, but there might be some public opinions thrown about with no material changes backing them.
A single tree is likely to release its carbon at the end of its life. A forest however can permanently endure and keep retain carbon in aggregate, at least compared to the alternative barren ground. To your point though, I would be surprised if this effect is big enough relative to removing fossil fuels from the energy mix.

I have been running a product since 2015 and I feel the author's pain. The original tech I used was Ruby on Rails, and it was great (back in Rails 5). However, with Rails 7 and all the other changes since 2015, the debt was pretty overwhelming. Updating dependencies became difficult. Deploying a new server felt impossible. It felt like it was held together with toothpicks and glue. Afraid to update X because Y would break. I couldn't update Y or Z would break.

Unlike the author, my product was making actual money ($XXX,000). I ended up completely rewriting the product from scratch (took ~3 months). I just swapped the old Rails service out for the new service on April 1st.

I stuck to "simple and boring" tech for the new stack. No more Rails, etc.
