This is a good question without a good answer. zsh-autoquoter doesn't know -- it doesn't know anything, really. The only thing it does is pass the literal string you type as an argument to the command you run (in this case, ssh).

So you could get the "treat it as a shell variable on the remote server" behavior by writing this instead:

ssh user@host awk "{print $1}" file.txt

But there's no way, using zsh-autoquoter, to say "yeah but this particular part of the string should not be escaped; let my local shell handle it."
I used to enjoy listening to the church bell practice sessions on summer evenings when I lived by a church (not so much being woken on Sunday mornings though). Annoyingly, they eventually shortened and lessened the frequency of practice because newcomers to the village complained that their idyllic second home in the countryside was affected by "noise pollution"— something that has been a regular feature of village life since the bell tower was built in 1545.
I was expecting this article to be about how a middle-class is required for innovation.

If we end up in a world where 90% of the population are struggling to meet basic needs, 0.1% live off generational wealth and 9.9% act as a highly technical servant class, then there will be fewer innovators and fewer innovations.

I usually get some SPF 50+ kids sunscreen. The one I use has the downside that one looks like a mummy, but I guess that's the price one has to pay for physical protection (titanium dioxide usually IIRC).

Personally I'm the kind that turns from ghastly pale into red-like-a-boiled-crab at the flick of a switch, so I tend to wear long-sleeved shirts and a wide-brimmed hat as much as possible in the summer.

One benchmark where Go is slower than Java, what about the others where Go is faster or as fast but use between 2 and 20x less memory, looks like the GC is not that bad after all.

https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

As for Discord it was a specific use case, it does not means Go has specific GC issues overall. How Java would have compared against Rust? 100% sure it would have performed worse, but you can't say for sure that Java would have performed better, especially after a re-write, rewriting the Go Discord Go in Go could have fixed the issue, no one knows.
some people want to talk about the latter section of the word "tard" being shorthand for "retard" presumably.

So I'll take you up on that, even though I fully disagree that this is the pun the author was making.

I'll start by saying that "to retard" has actual meaning, outside of derogatory statements, slurs or so on. In fact, that meaning predates by many hundreds of years: the description of people in such a way.

Since you could argue that this project is trying to speed up development, it could also argue that this is a commentary on "being retarded from your original objective" of running commands.

So, my first argument is that "to retard" can have meaning outside of being offensive, in fact, that was its primary use.

Now: Retard is a slur, absolutely. But, is it worse than Idiot? Moron?

At some point in time those were clinical definitions to mean the same thing as retard, they became used as slurs and fell out of favour.

Now, ironically, they are less inflammatory than the new derogatory word.

So, my second argument is that being offended by certain language is arbitrary.

---

Why am I arguing? Because you assume mal-intent where it's possible there is none. I genuinely assumed "bashtard" = "bastard", and that's "as offensive" to me as "git" (as a living and breathing british bastard), I didn't jump to the conclusion that it was attempting to denigrate low IQ people.

This type of language policing needs to be self-critical, because if you're not willing to be critical on what you're putting out into the world and onto other people: I will be, and you'll hate me for it.
My parents forced me to do dumb stuff always justifying it solely with you will thank me when you are older. It built up resentment in me that my parents thought I would just sit around doing nothing without them standing over my shoulder criticising and controlling me.

I don't do any of the things they forced me too it was all a waste of time and I still resent them because they never learned, they still think this whole internet thing is a fad and that some day I will thank them, we don't talk much.

This sounds like something that could be provided as a notary style service. A letter addressed to an individual, only to be handed over on positive ID, care of local business providing this service.

Fun fact: The US Postal Service offers this service, for free. (Though not in an ideal way; they'll just match name to ID, don't uniquely identify an individual. All that would need would be to write a drivers license or such number on the letter too, and the USPS to confirm that.)
This seems like the most indirect way possible to say "we're discontinuing the last iPod". _Most_ of the content of this press release is fine, in my opinion, but saying "iPod Touch is available while supplies last" just doesn't seem like a great way to phrase it.

Am I wrong about that?

The difference is that it’s much more general - the metalanguage is an actual logic language, not limited to simple rewrites. You can (read: will be able to, haha) prove properties about meta-level program transformations. For those interested, I’m basing my system off of Twelf and Abella.
Trying to follow the conversations here I think the problem is you both are trying to compare apples and oranges, or more appropriately the $10 bullets of an anti-material rifle with the $0.3 ammo used in a submachine gun. Just because they are both shot out of a barrel doesn't mean their purpose is the same. It's better to think of the excaliber rounds as more of cruise missiles with odd launch characteristics than as a tool for bombardment
Since you're post is light on facts, here's some from my company:

In 2020, we had a record year in both revenue and earnings. That's the bottom line. I won't mention all the KPIs that our IT staff hit since KPIs are all bullshit, but we exceed the previous year by a significant margin. During this year, my team grew by 20%, and hasn't had any turnover.

In 2021, we had yet another record year in both revenue and earnings. Specifically, earnings were up almost 15%, and we're a financial services business, so we didn't get a boom from commodities etc. As with the previous year, we exceed the goals for our KPIs by a substantial margin.

So now in 2022, we're hybrid, though most of my team prefers to work from home. And we're still doing exceedingly well as far as we can be measured, both as a team and a company.

So that's hard data. The company, despite being 100% remote in 2020/2021, has never been more profitable. Ever.

Maybe your team is full of losers who are absent, aloof, and difficult to interact with. Or perhaps it's something else...
What I would like essentially a curated npm, es and esm modules only and some other rules better vetting packages and their dependencies. At first almost no existing npm packages will be suitable to make the migration but I expect with just a bit of work and automation we can migrate over versions of the behemoths as well. Working with this package manager your builds can be simpler because you only deal with and target es modules. goodbye common js! goodbye leftpad! see you in hell!!
Who said anything about rolling your own? I'm talking about writing your data models directly to disk, the serialization and deserialization are done for you with a simple annotation.

And in most applications you don't ever have to deal with locks as most applications don't need multiple threads writing and reading, that can be done with a single thread and a lockless queue that multiple threads write to. You would need a lock for making backups of the files themselves but this is trivial and takes the form of error handling. The OS itself handles the lock, you just need to handle the case where you can't open the file for writing.

This approach is not all that rare, lightweight, and very useful for minimizing latency. Why would you ever use a database if you don't actually need the features? It is much simpler to immediately have access to all your data in your application's data models.

> I was able to work around most of the cooling-related issues by mounting the laptop vertically...

Have you happened to measure the thermal difference vertically mounting your laptop? I also vertically mounted my home server laptop for the same reasons, but noticed the fans seemed much louder so I returned it to be horizontal like normal. It's as if they were designed so that the horizontal surface acts to attenuate their high-frequency sounds. It's still annoying, but less so. I'm wondering if going vertical again, but throttling the CPU as you've done is the way to go.
I've found the largest culprit here is that people don't understand how many orders of magnitude are between them and FAANG scale. It's akin to how people don't understand the difference between a millionaire, a billionaire, and Elon Musk.

So they'll see some numbers that are on the upper end or beyond what they're used to seeing, and to them that's big scale. How do you solve that? Well, you reach for the tools other people have used when they have "big scale". All the literature says you can't just increase your instance size when you have big scale, so why would you try that?

And yes, that's wrong. But it drives a lot of the mentality.

Too many, I used to have quite a bit but lately I've enjoyed downsizing, soon I'll just have a Macbook and iPhone.

I'm not the biggest fan of the Apple ecosystem, but for the upfront purchase price, 3-5 years of life and able to sell them for 50% at the end of their "retail" lifespan, is a no brainer for me. The other alternative would be Thinkpads, but the nicer equipped ones really are marginally cheaper than a equally equipped macbook, before the M1 stuff.

If we're not counting virtual machines, then lately just two - a dev windows Laptop that's an XPS 13 and M1 which, with Parallels and Windows 11 (unfortunately not W10) comes pretty close to being what I need.

It used to be a time that I had a server at home that would run an array that'd hold storage and such, but lately it's just easier to have a virtual instance for that.

I have some Pi's also but they're not used really, but really just downsizing and not buying new shiny things, sounds hard, but silly enough it really helps to focus.

It also goes against the grain with me on how I used to enjoy hopping on every different distro and trying new things - Now I just don't have the time and enjoy being clutter free.

Well sure, obviously Comac (and their suppliers) are major beneficiaries of Chinese government corruption and industrial espionage. Just like every other large Chinese industrial company. The Communist Party considers aviation to be strategically important to limit dependence on foreign companies so they'll put in whatever resources are needed to make Comac viable. No one expects them to get many sales in Europe or North America, but with subsidies they can score a lot of sales in Russia, Asia, Africa, and South America.

I strongly agree, giving people the distribution conveys a lot of information especially if everyone is clear on what the parameters of that distribution mean (ie: what's the low estimate mean?).

At the same time, there are occasions where it can be useful to collapse a distribution for some types of reports, or for quickly looking across estimates.
I don't think a Mars mission compares in any way to what most SV hackers do, whether they do it for profit (especially the ignoble kind, ad revenue) or for the common good (open source dev). Not just in scale and timeframe and budget, but in how the organization (or lack of organization in the case of many open source projects) operates.

Also, your application of the word "hacker" to their simply having to adopt to circumstance or be able to update priorities and approaches pretty much takes all the meaning out of the word, because your loose meaning pretty much applies to any endeavor, from business to war to parenting to love.

It is a special case because there's nothing underneath the kernel. Different pieces of the kernel usually cannot interact through anything that isn't the single binary, there aren't more levels of abstraction.

But office tools, browser, video games, SaaS apps can benefit from the architecture. Microservices, at least for me, doesn't mean "different processes running in containers on AWS", but separate "services" that can be run and deployed independently. One easy example is login components, say any of those tools offers the possibility to the user to login with one or more remote services. Instead of putting that code in the same monolith, you could have a separate binary that gets called by the parent and spits out an authorization token. The separate binary can be tested, developed and updated separately.

Of course, you can't apply microservices to everything and have it make sense, but the ideas of separate tools deployed and updated independently are not bogus. I mean, the Unix philosophy could be understood as a kind of microservices architecture, with different independent tools managed by separate teams.

If I follow you correctly, it seems to me that the root disagreement is not whether these relationships exist. They obviously do.

The question is when it is permissible to sever or alter these relationships. Catholics might say that divorce is impermissible because the husband/wife relations is sanctified by god and is permanent. They might say that god never makes mistakes mismatching the soul (self) with the body. They might say that god blessed the woman with a relation with her fetus.

For those living back here in reality, there is no god setting up these relationships with a grand plan. We are the collective authors of our future, and it's up to us through conversation and education to decided what kind of world we want to build. Maybe we'll decide that the old ways are good, and maybe we'll decide that they're not.

Ultimately, the choice is up to us.

The Music Lives On [... while supplies last]
Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev has an extended sequence where a bellmaker's young son agrees to pour a bell for a local lord. You see the entire process of making the mould and pouring the metal. It has a town-fair atmosphere. But at the end, there's tremendous pressure on the young bellmaker to have the bell ring properly and have no cracks. And it does. The protagonist, the lapsed monk Andrei Rublev, regains his faith, seeing the result of the young bellmaker's hope.

> Microservices was always a solution to the organisational problem of getting more developers working on a system at once.

I don't really agree. It's probably the most agreed upon benefit, but there are others. Fundamentally, microservices allow you to isolate state. I can take two services and split them up - and now I've split their state spaces. I can put a queue service between them and now I've sliced out the state of their communication.

This slicing up of state has a ton of benefits if done right.

1. Isolation of state is basically the key to having scalable concurrency. Watch the Whatsapp talk on Erlang and they say "Isolation, Isolation, Isolation".

2. Isolation of services is great for security. You can split up permissions across your services, limit their access in a more granular way, etc.

Those are pretty nice wins. They're achievable through discipline in a monolith (heavy use of module boundaries, heavy use of immutability - something most mainstream languages don't encourage) but a network boundary really forces these things and makes unintentional stateful coupling a lot more painful.

> It is easier to start with a monolith, find the right design and then split on the boundaries than it is to make the correct microservices to begin with.

I disagree. Starting with a bad set of microservices can be fixed by merging. Merging two codebases is trivial compared to splitting. Again, if I have isolation between the services, even if the slicing up was done badly, even if they're coupled, I can just remove the layer between them.

Splitting has to start from a place of coupling and then try to decouple - this is especially hard with languages that encourage encapsulated mutable state (most of them).
I've had great success with having a monolithic code base with multiple entry points. Each entry point is sort of a micro service (or just service), but it can access the same db as the other services (if it makes sense), use the same types, and crucially, it can easily be integration tested with the other entry points. With full debug support.

Such a "monolith" need not be the only one in the company. One per high level module or team works well.

I guess my point is, it doesn't have to be either giant monolith or tiny micro services in separate repos. There's everything in between as well.
