It does look like with some GC tuning (e.g. manually triggering GC's at a smaller interval than the Go automatic GC threshold) they might've mitigated the spikes, although I don't think they would have gotten the level of perf improvement they did.

Hopefully working from home is here to stay and gets wide spread adoption. Then we won't need to increase city density again and again. Smaller new towns with single family homes and nearby schools and shops, maybe a community co-working centre. If the population doesn't need to commute for work then the housing doesn't need to be in the city. Lots of smaller towns.

Replace some of that water intensive agriculture with small towns for people to live in.

Will do.

One thing that we use a lot is Doppler for environment variable management, so some kind of official support for that would be hugely helpful.

We are able to sync from Doppler to AWS Secrets Manager, so maybe just Secrets Manager support would do it for us.
It's more afforable compared to an apartment in New York where a townhouse can set you back 15 million.

Density isn't the issue demand is. You want to live in a place everyone else does.

At 1.3 million on average you could buy 100a property on prime farmland or you could buy an apartment in New York or a house in Freemont. Wanting Freemont to be zoned like New York property would probably make it more popular with new hot properities and it will price you out further. The truth is there are a lot of people making more money who want housing in Freemont.
A nice article. In part, the conclusion seems to be a rediscovery of agile. "What can we demo by next Friday?" seems awfully similar to "what's being delivered in the current sprint?" Just with less up-front planning & communication?
I dunno about anybody else but I simply stopped using oauth2 because I found it made no sense. Things never worked, the constraints on things working had nothing to do with my needs, and the libraries were all out of date and incompatible with each other, then being replaced by new ones that didn't work yet. I also had a sincerely challenging time understanding the security model, and I'm quite comfortable with encyrption, access control, client certs, etc.
This argument would be more convincing if he provided material support to NK and didn’t simply relay publicly available information. It seems he’s been sanctioned primarily for his speech, not selling weapons or purchasing contraband. And it’s not like he was divulging state secrets.

Anyway, the conviction mostly makes sense to me. The sentencing seems disproportionate.
isn't the tldr on this that Go let them scale up for years before it became the bottleneck? a natural progression for any successful project...
This is why the only real solution is to not have total local control of zoning.

Given the choice, many will vote to restrict what other people around them can do with their property to benefit their own interests - financial, quality of life, etc. While externalizing the costs (higher housing costs, pollution, etc) across a large number of people who aren't allowed a vote. Hoping people will do otherwise isn't going to get results.

But given that the zoning impacts have just as big an impact on the low-paid worker who has to commute hours to the local hospital to work, it is entirely reasonable to allow those impacted parties a vote by moving zoning away from total local control up to a larger level. Recent legislative steps in CA are a move in the right direction, but need to go much farther to create more meaningful changes.

Basically, if you want a quiet neighborhood with large plots of land, you should be required to bear the full cost of that, rather than voting to externalize the majority of those costs across the larger population.
Compared to other TEGs. Not compared to steam turbines. The article is actually being very generous in saying it's "as efficient" as steam turbines. Steam turbines are more efficient with scale, and industrial ones for power generation are over 90% efficient [1]. This new TEG's efficiency is "around 40 percent". Higher than the previous TEGs in the 25-35% range. But not compared to steam engines, that also benefit from much lower operating temperatures.

1. Multistage (moderate to high
pressure ratio) steam turbines have thermodynamic efficiencies that vary from 65 percent for very small
(under 1,000 kW) units to over 90 percent for large industrial and utility sized units.

I think I covered those poin in calling out the cost model elements - renting the “bottom third” of the costs via managed facilities, BMaaS etc. helps in terms of reducing or eliminating capital expenses and some human toil especially in a more stable business that doesn’t benefit from per-minute lease terms or multi-year. As I called out elsewhere, sizing the hosting model to the economic model is really important.

Even in the pure rental or managed BMaaS, the human cost can quickly dominate the economic model. Owning machines and OS’s is expensive at anything more than a couple of racks of machines. Eliminating people and human change/release from touching things in the datacenter is probably the first priority. Otherwise it is hard to consistently drive that human number down and meet service quality expectations for 24x7.

Keeping your battery charged at 100% for extended periods can reduce the overall life. Apple recently(?) switched to charging phones and laptops to 80% and delaying the remaining 20% until it was expected to be needed (like for the phone, charging overnight completes before the alarm goes off, the laptop will finish charging at the end of the workday before I move from my desk to my living room). I don't know what Windows does, and Linux is too large a target to make any universal statement about how it might treat charging and batteries.

> Atlassian is a tech company, built by engineers, building products for tech professionals.

I am curious if anyone can provide any more insight on this simplification.

I've worked at companies like this. Originally a core of motivated creative individuals make a cool product. As the business grows rapidly, Pournelle's (Iron) Law (of Bureaucracy) takes over. For a variety of reasons, the very capable creators depart and are replaced by less motivated/aware individuals who are glad to have a job and easily compelled to do things to the product that probably should not be done.

My guess is that while Atlassian may have originally been one of those cool founder places, it has probably morphed into the more incompetent version that comes with scale all too often. But I don't know. Thus my question if anyone can speak to the true current tech capabilities of this company.

I do not think it is relevant today, but during the Cold War their crime was being all buddy-buddy with the USSR and offering to host some of their nuclear ICBMs.

The USSR is long dead though, and nobody is asking Cuba to hold on to WMDs for safe keeping, so the continued sanctions make no real sense in 2022.
This is very likely even if engineers come up with the processes, unless all process is scrapped and done from scratch every time an engineer is hired.

In a side note that someone else already made: it is interesting to see that many companies that uses JIRA also uses Slack but the noise/complaint/mentions comparing when Slack is down is way different. I barely saw people complaning.
So I would say that this assessment is on the whole, kind of cynical, however I suppose I have the interesting position of being in an organization where I feel like I actually see both JIRAs.

One JIRA is the project that's used for development of the core product, where there are no constraints— anyone can add a comment, create links, change assignee, add new tags, push the tickets through whatever state transitions they want, and so on. It works, though it is a little chaotic sometimes as subgroups of people have different preferences for how things should go (eg, for tickets requiring test team validation, should the ticket assignee remain as the person who did the original work so it's clear who has more to do if it fails validation, or should the assignee change to the test team person, so that it's clear that that's the next person who has it as an action item?)

The second JIRA is the IT team's internal support project, which is completely locked down— no one except them can close tickets or move them around, or even edit the contents, closed tickets can't be commented on any more, and so on. This is the one that gives me the vibes you are talking about. Every time I have to interact with it, I loathe it because every inch of it is transparently a funnel, railroading me along a path toward one of either DONE or WONTFIX. This is absolutely efficient, in the sense of meeting the goal of closing all the tickets, but I feel it introduces friction for the larger business goal of actually helping people resolve their problems. To the point where eventually most of the IT support activity moved away from the JIRA project to an informal Slack channel, which is way more accessible, but worse in basically every other way: it's harder to effectively search, impossible to properly link, bad for async, bad for dealing with more than one thing at once, etc.
Yeah, the cranes and weights thing is the dumbest idea I have encountered lately.

Using deep underground cavities to drain water into, and pump back out of, extends pumped hydro to a lot more places than are usually assumed suitable. And, it multiplies the energy stored up a hill if you can drain the water to somewhere deep.

The most surprising method I have enountered is deep-ocean pumped storage. This doesn't need a pipe, just a tank anchored down deep with a pump/turbine at the bottom. You charge it by pumping the water out, leaving water vapor, and get the energy back by letting the water back in. The only connection to shore is the wire. The amount of energy you can store in a 30-meter diameter tank under 300m of water is amazingly large. The tank does need to be very strong to hold back the pressure.
I never got in to Wordle because it was too easy. I've been playing Semantle but it's been kicking my butt with some of the answers I've had to give. This was fun, if a bit easy.

> It’s never really about the dishes. The dishes are just a thing in physical space.

I'd clarify that sometimes it is actually about the dishes. As someone with ADHD being in a living space with clutter slows me down and perpetuates more clutter. My solution to that is to never generate that sort of clutter - it leads to a destructive cycle I've identified in myself.

If the person I'm sharing space with starts that cycle, I suffer from it and can't escape it without external intervention - hence, yea, sometimes the dishes literally are the focus (I mean - this pattern can be repeated with other household tasks, a laundry basket full of clean un-put-away laundry will grow over time until it's falling over the sides and periodic tasks like taking out the garbage require extreme vigilance to stay on top of, corners can not be cut).

But the physical space does effect our mental space, and looking around your sanctum sanctorum and seeing nothing but todo lists will erode mental health.
That's right. Deferring gratification is deciding to pass on the mousseline sauce on an ill-fated voyage across the Atlantic. I'd much rather be focused on advancing safer modes of transport than worried about which lifeboat I'm going to head for.
Nothing is produced by buying and selling land. This is different from investment in capital which is created and destroyed.
Very few companies optimize because it's cheaper to throw bigger hardware at a problem than to rewrite code.

You should look at database companies, though. There are a lot of them now, and they all really do care a lot about optimization.

Singularity is not that important. Scale and locality is. Information that has to travel across the world suffers from misordering/relativity. Same for across the room or across a single wire that is nondeterministically but carelessly left unplugged. An oracle doesn’t help in that case. Instead what you want is a new kind of being.
Nx and Turborepo
The Linux desktop has been pretty good for over ten years now. The real trend is that the Windows desktop has declined rapidly since Win 7.

I switched over from vanilla Ubuntu to Xubuntu recently. Wished I had done so earlier. XFCE is probably as good as it gets for a desktop, at least for myself. It can be configured to get out of my way and let me do my work in peace. I even have tooltips shut off globally.

The strength of a desktop isn't how "pretty" it looks in screenshots. That has nothing to do with real-world productivity. The strength is in its configurability.

I can only imagine how many people will jump ship to something else after having a taste of Win 11. Once they realize their tool doesn't work for them anymore, they will have no choice but to find a different tool that does work. Most will probably switch to OSX, but there will probably be a few that will give Ubuntu/Fedora/Mint a try and never look back. With virtualization, it's almost a no brainer to drop Windows as a host OS and to just use it for windows-only apps. Even gaming is getting better on Linux.

I believe people use "cosmic rays" as catch-all phrase for all these very low probability error causes (just because of the coolness of cosmic rays), but in practice _any_ other cause is much more common than cosmic rays.

Even at the processor level every single transistor on it has a rated mean time between failures a.k.a. MTBF. Sure it may be astronomical, but you do have a lot of transistors, so in practice a random bitflip is not such a rare event. Designers actually explore MTBF vs power usage trade-offs here, and there is even a fascinating area of "fault resilient computing" research.

Every single clock domain crossing has another MTBF (google metastability). Again they are very high (billions of years if done properly), but you will have plenty of such crossings (and the number keeps growing with modern, more asynchronous design).

Processors are quite unreliable things.
The only two programs I've written since my retirement were entirely for personal use: one to help with attribute-point assignments in an RPG, and one to pick apart GPS-data files (Garmin FIT) to show me views that neither Garmin nor Strava will. I'm fortunate that I have the skills to do this, but I think in the future such "personal programming" will be commonplace even for people who have never worked as programmers. Meanwhile, knowledge of programming plus one other field is often a ticket to stable employment with a good work/life balance (unlike tech itself which tends to lack such balance).
Oh, I totally agree with you. And, there are times when it is not useful to try to come up with a solution because the other person just needs to be heard. It is not really about problem X. The real issue is not feeling heard, respected, loved.
The sanctions are to slow the nuclear weapon program and that an ally (south korea) has to spend less on defense.
I'm not saying that the US would tie the dollar to Bitcoin willingly. It would have to do it out of necessity to be able to interact with nations that have resources that the US needs.

This of course applies to all countries, not just the US. The dollar as the world reserve currency enables the US to rob the recipients of the value of their holdings after the fact. I don't think any nation is happy about that. It would also reduce undue influence of a single nation across the world and therefore maybe reduce the attractiveness of terrorist organizations' railing against it.

A currency that can't be debased is a stabilizing factor in international affairs (my take). This also translates to each country's citizens, they can't be robbed by their government...

Financial (or economic) sanctions affect the target country's citizens. I would submit that after the sanctions on Russia, Putin has gained support from the Russian people. Iran has been sanctioned for how many years? Yet Iran's citizens don't find the means to depose of their leadership... Maybe they like the way things are... Sanctions and all.

In my opinion your statement "the world embracing crypto all at once would escalate the financing of combat to unconscionable heights" is unsupported. Bitcoin is available now (has been for a decade), so what keeps bad actors from using it to purchase arms now. The international monetary system is not a gate (to cash out Bitcoin purchases). The Mexican cartels apparently have no problem using the banking system to finance their operations...

As someone who did incredibly poorly in high school physics, this line in the article bothered me as well: the study is from the 1990s when the density of memory would have been much lower. I would think the percentage per megabyte has dropped significantly in 30 or so years. It also assumes a constant form factor for the memory, doesn't it?
> I just don't understand why cities in California won't let go of single unit zoning.

Give it time. The state government is hobbled and regional fiefdoms have far too much sway. That's slowly changing.

The state is in the middle of planning the long-term Regional Housing Needs Assessment. Regions across the state are responsible for coughing up realistic plans to meet the growth targets. If they don't come up with realistic plans to meet those targets, not only can they lose their precious single family home zoning, they can lose their zoning privileges entirely. There are even plans in the works for local governments to have state oversight officials appointed for them to completely take over their housing policy. Get your popcorn.

Why use Atlassian when you can roll your own Wiki
Just curious about this one. It seems most of the time what people are doing with Atlassian is also accomplished through the Wiki site structure which, to my knowledge is quite easy to replicate. I’m just curious why there’s such a weird asymmetry between how often open-source tools are used vs. how often we deploy small sites for ourselves using open source.

I personally don’t feel Atlassian does anything truly special that isn’t accomplished with some simple things like one does with wiki.

I’d absolutely love to hear a dissenting opinion to this!!!
