But if an abstraction exists that makes things much simpler to work with, maybe it's worth considering? Just imagine the code required on-top of digital banking to buy a ticket to a gig from me online. Those companies that manage this charge huge fees, have huge teams, and it's all sorts of complex. Approaching it from a Web3/NFT standpoint, you mint a series of tickets to your gig. You sell those tickets to people for crypto in a single atomic transaction. Metadata says it's a resellable ticket? Then those people who bought it can sell it to others too! Skeptical it's an authentic ticket? Check if it was minted by the band. Skeptical it's not resellable? Check the meta data. Skeptical they won't send you the genuine ticket? Atomic txs and NFTs mean it's one single tx - a gig ticket for some money. Want to make resellable tickets but you want 5% of the resale? Add a creator rule to the token. Want to check people have valid tickets at the gig? QR code that reads a wallet for a token from the sent of minted tokens. These things that right now span multiple businesses, have multiple fees, constant fraud, are slow, and require signing up in multiple places are literally free with crypto. It's just part of the technology. I think that's pretty cool and has some use cases in an increasingly digital world.
Good to know. I've struggled with setting up lsp for Elixir (after Alchemist was retired). I've settled for IntelliJ with Emacs keybindings (which really isn't a bad way to go, all things considered).
That can be true, especially for objective facts, but I would expect such criticism to be biased to the point of unreliability - "We taste better than x (according to our staff)", "we have higher quality than x (at double the price)", "we’re like x but cheaper (and we have nearly 20% of their features)". And even then, as an input there can be value, but it's helpful to at least know that it's coming from a competitor so I can anticipate the bias.
A bit late for an answer, but an SQL view that only shows not-deleted data might have helped you in your case.
Modern air-to-air heat pumps work well in below freezing temperatures. The crossover point where the COP is 1 is something like zero Fahrenheit, but you probably don't care, since they automatically switch to resistive heating, or a hybrid mode depending on conditions and load.

At some point, as you head to colder climates, it makes sense to use a ground source heatpump instead. They're more expensive to install, but pay for themselves in areas with high heating bills.
I work at a ~1200 person company, been using GWT since I think 2012, before I joined. It's a mixed bag - it's clunky as hell sometimes, and we have been iteratively replacing it with React in places. Buuuut at the same time I'm often marveling at how amazing it is what they accomplished getting Java->JS compilation working like that. It's a very productive framework if you know how to actually use it. And that's tough to do
So, does this work outside of tech? Would a bus driver or a accountant be able to enjoy similar success?

Do you consider transformed data in staging harmful? (Transformed data = where all the sensitive data have been hidden)

It would seem the knowledge of how to grow software through different stages is most likely best gained through experience rather than credentials so I think sharing your knowledge based on your hard-won experience would be more valuable than that of someone writing from a more academic perspective.
The challenge seems to be that 1-3 in your list are highly subjective.

1. Requires a common definition of spamming. If a bot is posting headlines for the NYT on their official account is that spam? A person really eagerly replying to everyone about their favorite band? Someone trying really hard to sell you their diet pills? Musk seems to think all these are equally OK (except maybe the nyt bot).

2. Musk has been sanctioned by the SEC for illegal stock manipulation based on his tweets. He argues he should be able to. Who decides?

3. What about calling a British citizen a pedofile because you're angry he didn't like your idea? In the UK that's a crime (libel laws are different than the US, and I'm certainly no expert) but simply hiding it to UK citizens doesn't actually comply with the laws. Jurisdiction isn't clear cut.

The examples I gave are reasons why a self-described "free speech absolutist" probably isn't going to be adequately equipped to tackle these issues.

Content moderation at scale - leaving out political content or opinions - requires proactive decisions that are often murky at best. And many can have consequences for the platform, especially with both sides of the American political system attacking Section 230 and seeking to hold those platforms responsible for the content of their users.
So now we should hold people accountable for the things crazy people do based off what they say?

As a smart person you should realize this is insane.

> I'm sure you could run the same experiment with e.g. prestigious math journals. There is probably a significant overlap between authors and reviewers.

These are completely different matters. Any idiot can have an opinion on just about any non-academic literature. Whether any idiot can be taken seriously is up to debate. Whereas for math papers, there are very few people outside the pool of authors who can understand enough of it to even have an opinion.

I do believe that generally the world is not okay. We are currently suffering the consequences of many slowly unfolding tragedies that were well warned about by experts. So I imagine there are quite a few tragedies building up now, warned about, but not yet acted uppon.
I wonder which formats are selling better: the paperback or the Kindle versions?
There are other good answers to the complexity. An additional aspect not mentioned yet is that your bill is not a single thing. Usage, metering, pricing, and billing are all discreet problems. Theyre all interdependent and all of them need to be solved to provide a value thats useful to you, the customer.

A resource is used, when is the usage metered? If your instance is priced by run time when is that metering durably recorded? End of a time period, a billing period (oops! Havent got to billing periods yet!), on resource state change?

Assume you have a bunch of metering records. What price do you apply? There are LOTS of prices, even for the same thing. So now we need to know per account/service/region/contract/whatever the price to apply to the metering data. Oh no! The final price depends on aggregate usage! We cant determine the “price” for any single metering record without knowing cumulative usage. So now we have to aggregate total usage and apply the different marginal prices before we can determine any single price :(

Now we have lots of metering data + pricing data, lets make a bill. Who is the bill for? An account, a group of accounts, an organization? I hope you dont support credits, discounts, or similar that cross accounts. In practice the answer is probably “yes” and you e run in to another round of aggregation.

This isnt specific to SaaS, but describes billing in general. Its not A hard problem, its Many hard problems. And that general pattern of business problems is why you see most (all?) providers end up at a process that looks like recurrent batch computations.

Disclaimer: principal at AWS, but do not work in the metering/billing space directly. None of the above is specific to my employer and solely my personal observations/opinions.
> Systemd has this problem

It seems like it is a solution for anything that lives in /usr and could break your system / cannot directly be put there because it's read only when you are developing it. Not systemd-specific though obviously the part that manages the system boot and system services is going to be particularly concerned by this.

> IMHO systemd has amassed too many features

But systemd is not some monolith that does a lot of things. It's a set of tools that do one thing, well, quite like GNU and that happen to be called systemd-something. Often, thin wrappers around kernel features, like nspawn. I find them very cleanly designed and easy to use. To each there own but I find the possibility to create services declaratively with systemd unit files particularly useful, instead of having to write custom shell scripts and copy paste boilerplate. Upstart was a step in the right direction in this respect. It's not just "fine for basic desktop needs", it's a great fit for desktops and also particularly helpful on servers as well (not speaking about Ubuntu, just systemd).

Are there other parts of the C language you are avoiding in such an environment, or is it just bitfields? I suppose in any case you'll be using C89 instead of newer language revisions.
The way to make sense of entropy is to treat it as a subjective quantity. A subjective quantity is a function where the observer's state of knowledge is one of the input arguments.

The article describes it as a measure of hidden information in a system, which is a good description. But that's not a property of the system itself, it's a property of the observer, from whom the information is hidden.

So different observers with different information about a system will have different opinions about its entropy.

My password, for example, to me has zero entropy. I know its microstate. But it's quite secure from someone trying to guess it, and they will think it's quite high in entropy.

If all you know about a system is that it's a kilogram of air at room temperature, it will seem quite high in entropy to you, as many possible microstates are consistent with that description. But if you have godlike knowledge of the exact configuration of every particle in the container, it will seem very low in entropy to you, and that's more than just an accounting difference. Indeed you can use that information to operate a Maxwell's demon and turn the system into a heat engine, splitting the cold and hot molecules into separate spaces and extracting work as though the system really had low entropy to start with. Because it did. To you.

Most of the confusion about entropy comes from what Jaynes calls the mind projection fallacy: the tendency to treat our uncertainty about a system as a property of the system, rather than a property of ourselves.
I can think of a couple of companies whose public face represents "Get filthy rich by changing the world". Tesla, for one. Maybe SpaceX too.

26% of heating in Canada is electric baseboard, much of it in buildings that can't or won't allow heat pumps.

Even for those who can, it would take several years for the investment in a heat pump plus the waste of the old heating system to become carbon neutral, let alone cashflow positive.

Don't feel bad. This entire thread is filled with people who think they know better. Must be why UX is in such high demand these days.

I get the enthusiasm though, head pumps are really neat.

This project is super cool. I would recommend the author starts tracking the amount of CO2 he emits in a year, which could easily be approximated with the flight/transportation and food data he has. Carbon emissions per Capita per year in the US: 18 metric tonnes. In Italy: 8 metric tonnes [1]. Author is probably close to 60-80 with all the transatlantic flights.

Also, it's legal (but distasteful) for political activists to pressure media companies to suppress stories that they don't like. But it's an entirely different thing to create a "Disinformation Governance Board" under the authority of the Homeland Security Department (which encompasses police agencies like the INS, TSA and Secret Service) to decide which stories are "disinformation" and shouldn't be published - that raises First Amendment issues of speech and press freedom.
Most of the homeless in California are mentally ill, and (as a direct result) refusing medical treatment.

We used to forcibly put them in psychiatric wards, and many responded well to antipsychotics, etc.

That was deemed inhumane, so now we make them sleep on the streets, where they get assaulted, robbed and worse.

Well, it's effectively face-swapping but also includes hair and other non-face features of the head, so it seems strictly better than simply swapping faces.

Therefore, the intended use is probably a superset of face swapping uses. With this, you'd need less of a "body match" to realistically swap onto (for example, matching hair style/color). Compare e.g. simply swapping a player's face onto a game avatar versus swapping their entire head + hair.
> It simply is not possible to buy quality battery replacements outside of the OEM supply chains (I've pointed this out here on HN as a business opportunity every time the topic comes up) whether it's phone or laptops or anything else.

I know this is an odd point of your comment to pick out, but just wanted to share this as I thought the way you did for almost a decade:

Cameron Sino are a really reliable aftermarket battery manufacturer. They're the source that iFixit use, and I've tried some of their products myself too. They make damn near everything, including niche SKUs with custom ICs, and the quality is comparable to OEM stuff (both in terms of initial capacity and longevity).
Why is it not bound to happen eventually?
The ability to do forensics on the reentry kit is quite remarkable.

And the thought that humans are already littering other worlds with spent waste somewhat sobering.
I share your opinion, but IMO it also goes one step further: systemd uses its gravity to try and shape linux distributions and dictate how things "ought" to work. Consider this quote from the linked article:

> Oh, and in case you wonder, all of this only works with distributions that have completed the /usr/ merge. On legacy distributions that didn't do that and still place parts of /usr/ all over the hierarchy the above won't work, since merging /usr/ trees via overlayfs is pretty pointess if the OS is not hermetic in /usr/.)

IOW, if I build a system with yocto for an embedded system, which is also a very useful candidate for a read-only system image installation, I cannot use this feature for this use-case because ... yeah because what. Because lennart says so. This got old so fast.

They become nurses because it's a relatively easy (two years at a CC) to become an RN, and the pay is pretty good.

It's easy on the body, compared to similar paid blue collar jobs, like union construction. And it seems better than office work.

Durning the AIDS crisis a lot of nurses--who could quit did. They quit because many were legitmetly scared.

Hospitals got worried, and told their marketing departments to throw out the word, "We need nurses!". Most smaller hospitals had a hard time keeping qualified egos (The Medical Doctor), and they couldn't be bothered besides doing just the bare minimum.

Let's not forget their are many classifications of nurses (RN, LVN, etc., and porely trained Candy Stripers, or cheap help, hospitals (especially union controlled) use instead of nurses. Some are not porely trained though, but nursing unions don't like competition. I'm not berating unions. Moneynot spent on help seems to go to administrators anyway.)

(I went to school with nursing students. Most were divorced. Most were around mid 30's. This was in the 90's. Now nursing is a good path to middleclass for immigrants.)

The problem is that most people confuse „small government“ with „small society“. I want the smallest government possible, but strong institutions outside of the governments direct controls and even stronger individuals. Open sourcing governmental software makes the government smaller compared to private institutions and individuals, because it puts them in the position to criticize the gov and compete with it in a meritocratic way.

Entropy in thermodynamics is a statistical effect which acts like a "force" because of the immense number of particles and sub-states in play. A perfect simulation of gas particles bouncing in a two-chamber system will result in the "pressure" equalising because that is overwhelmingly the most likely state to end up in.

To be honest, I hadn't heard of Louisville's Theorem before but it doesn't seem to imply what you're saying -- in fact it is used to prove the fluctuation theorem which quantifies the probability of entropy spontaneously decreasing (as thermodynamic entropy is a statistical effect).
Specifically if you leave it in! It's a matter of viewpoint or scope.

"Spontaneous" can be defined a few different ways: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/spontaneous

From the link "2: arising from a momentary impulse" you get the implied meaning from the original comment if you assume standard human experience of a "moment" IE a few seconds or less.

However you could argue that human evolution is but a moment in the scope of the universe.

And then with definition "5: developing or occurring without apparent external influence, force, cause, or treatment"

The only way it wouldn't be spontaneous would be if an external actor (Deity of your choice?) directed human evolution somehow. To say this is debatable is an understatement..

And so we have fun in word play and hopefully appreciation of different viewpoints.

you should be able to host your own e-mail system.

the first BUT ... :)

* an "e-mail system" consists of many components which have to be (tightly) integrated -- MTA, MDA, MUA just to name the most obvious ones

* e-mail touches a lot of different fundamental areas of (inter)networking -- especially for example DNS ... if you don't get those things right, your outgoing mail will be considered SPAM by most of the larger mailsystems out there

* last but not least: the annoying incoming SPAM ... you have to setup some kind of filtering and maintain it

* additionally: you are targeted by several kind of attacks, because mailboxes are an essential bottleneck in lots of security-related workflows ... read: password reset / access-tokens etc.etc.

to integrate all of this is not trivial, but also not rocket-science, it just demands experience and knowhow in a lot of areas.

which leads to the second BUT ... ;)

those areas are sooo uncool right now - cloud/services/mobile/crypto/web3 ... these are the hip places to be today ...

why bother with something sooo 20th century like operating a mailsystem or a server-system at all!?

Demand is a function of cost. There is a lot of things that having energy would permit that right now aren't possible like desalination, giant lasers to launch things to space etc.
I've seen this on services that do CI/CD, but institute a freeze for peak traffic events. In theory, the freeze serves the purpose of increasing capacity, since all services are serving traffic rather than updating software, and increasing reliability, since software isn't changing. However, it can then expose latent memory leaks that weren't visible when the services were cycling all the time.
