Why did you fail Fizzbuzz if I may ask? I have heard a lot about people with 10 yoe but who can't write 3 lines of code in an interview, and I have always wondered what was the cause. It can't be that all those people just got lucky and never did anything for 10 years.

I'm sure you realised after the fact this was absolutely trivial and you could have finished that in a few minutes. Also, what changed that you passed the next interview? What didn't you also (I assume) freeze in that one?

Agreed. I love Next.js and used it religiously for the first couple years. I'm not trying to beat Next.js or any framework. There's plenty of space in the web ecosystem for alternative solutions.

I hope is that Go <=> JS/Svelte won't be too much of a context switch for folks.

I'm not planning on innovating as hard in the frontend space as Next.js. I'll probably just stick with SSR, add support for pre-rendering and build up the client-side runtime with features like prefetching and client-side routing. If something really cool comes along, we'll see.

I'll instead focus on the area where Next.js neglects: backends. DB workflows, mailers, queues, scheduling, pubsub are all coming to Bud.
I believe all ships have a transponder.

Russian criminals were stealing rich boys million dollar yachts a few years ago.

They would board the ships when the skeleton crew was off the ship.

They would take the transponder, and put in model hobby ships.

The owner, and authorities thought their yacht was exactly where they left it.

The Russian thieves would take the yachts back to Russia.

(I thought is was clever. They stole millions of dollars in terms of yachts, and were eventually caught buy Interpol.
That would be called cislunar space.
The dollars you made in the beginning of your career, 50 years ago, would be quite few relatively. Every year you can buy a little less for it. So you need to work twice for your money, once to acquire it and once more to keep its value by investing or w/e scheme you come up with. Stable, possibly. Good for the common man? Disagree.

How to ship software to Windows and Linux users built on Docker?
My application is a bunch of docker containers networked together using docker compose.

Now I want to ship this entire stack as an easily runnable application to my users, who are either on Linux or Windows (and occasionally Mac).

Ideally the user doesn't even know that docker is involved, and it just looks like one app from most perspectives. I want it to be easy to install and maintain.

To further complicate things, many of the containers are actually dependent on nvidia-docker and GPU access for CUDA. This seems to just now be supported on Windows, albeit only Windows 11. In general, this greatly complicates my ability to ship anything easy-to-install.

Is there anything I can do to make this process easy for users (and myself)?

NVIDIA and docker have both taken over huge swaths of our computing infrastructure, but they are in some ways a huge regression for easy software delivery, which is somewhat ironic in the case of Docker.
There's a couple videos on YouTube of vehicles on a carrier ship where the vehicles are bash around a fiar bit beyond what might happen in a passenger safety impact test.

> I would also argue that the minimal amount of consumption (let's say, you keep yourself alive, just barely), and maximizing your investment amount, is the best outcome for your future, and is the most efficient allocation of resources.

If you always prioritize your future over your present then your sacrifices are wasted—you live your entire life just barely keeping yourself alive and never claim any of the proceeds from your investments for yourself. As I said before, there needs to be a balance. Investment is pointless and wasteful without a plan to eventually consume more than you could have without investing.

I'm not sure what the inside of a car carrier looks like, but I think the idea isn't just that a little jiggle that causes the suspension to flex slightly is the concern but rather a car coming loose and falling on another car, or something similarly serious and unplanned that isn't supposed to happen if everyone is doing their job correctly. If it does happen you wouldn't want it to be a risk to the whole ship.

There's also the possibility that a battery just catches on fire all by itself because of a manufacturing defect. It can happen.
Cold Start Comparison of AWS Lambda, CloudFront, Cloudflare Workers
Since the normal container ships often have many refrigerated containers and the crew manage to control their temperature. Maybe roro ship crews will get access to the battery temperature data and will be able to prepare suspicious cars for offloading straight into ocean. Loosing few cars is probably better than whole shop with thousand cars.

Except that it quite literally means it's money because law.

At the moment it seems much more likely that the US government will survive than that BTC will be popular (and I think the relative values are fairly reasonable), but a few GPTs from now when computer governance becomes not only plausible but likely and crypto will seem like the only reasonable option.
The problem with cryptocurrency is that it builds cost right into the protocol, and social effects seem to kick out cost-free protocols(BitTorrent is doing great, but nowhere near the hype level of BitCoin, and there are very few non-coin P2P projects with traction now).

Instead of becoming too cheap to meter, it will always cost something.

It can never really be suited for a heavily partitioned network if it needs consensus. That's a very scary thing. If we are going to build the future of tech, it should be resilient. If a building's internet goes down, I should still be able to get a message from one floor to another.

It also imposes another kind of cost. Irreversibility. Our current ecosystem is based on being able to fix our mistakes. Banks reverse transactions. We can delete unwanted social media posts from when we were 16 and wanted to be shot because of hair loss.

We can't do that with a ledger. Which means our current level of security is unacceptable. A large percentage of people might have lost their life savings if everything was crypto.

Even things like a bad autocorrect algorithm could cause a permanent embarassing entry in the blockchain. I would not be happy if someone grabbed my phone, teabagged the camera, and anyone with some special "View hidden posts" tool could see it forever. That's what I'd call sub optimal UX.

Hardware wallets are no solution. They can be lost, and impose a tax on our time.

I don't want the future of tech to have high cost built in, whether that be time, money, or safety.

There may be uses for it, but we should stop baking it into decentralized protocols, and stop promoting it as a full replacement for fiat unless you can guarantee 100% parity, every bit as stable, every bit as easy to prosecute fraud, etc.
Not a single satoshi will be added to the supply after 2140. The whole century leading up to that only adds a fraction of a percent of the total supply of 21M.
That’s not true. It’s not just that real-world banks don’t do that, they just plain aren’t allowed to “lend out deposits”.

I guess you could say “fractional reserve banks” do, because “fractional reserve” is a textbook model and not something that happens in the real world.

The problem is that deposits are a liability. Banks can only lever up assets to lend, so deposits are on the wrong side of the balance sheet to do that. What limits how much banks can lend is capital (and capital adequacy ratios), not deposits.

Banks create new deposits when they lend, as well as creating an equal amount of private debt. The loan is an asset of the bank, which creates a corresponding liability.

Customer deposits coming in as cash or transfers from other banks are useful as liquidity, but can never be lent.

> J. P. Morgan basically bailed out the entire US economy in the Panic of 1907.

That says more about the size of the US economy at that time than about the size of the economic crisis…

Are you honestly comparing the Asian crisis with what happened in the US 120 years ago?

> This is completely wrong. The crash of 1873 began what historians call a 20-year depression.

Well, just a couple of years earlier the US was in the middle of a bloody civil war that was financed with monetary inflation. That is to blame the post war depression. Not the Gold Standard per se.

You are also conviently evading my main argument that the „Gold Standard“ is irrelevant to the discussion about Bitcoins inherent design. Bitcoin does not implement a Gold Standard even if it is called „digital gold“. It is a machinery designed to prevent human meddling with a monetary base. Something that the Gold Standard was better than today‘s fiat money. But of course it was still far from perfect and depended on the honesty of politicians and bankers.

So — forget about the Gold Standard. It will never come back. The promise of Bitcoin is to bring a monetary system politicians and bankers cannot manipulate. Whether that’s a good thing or even realistic is a separate discussion.
Within 50 years of linear emission, the supply inflation will be what fiat is targetting (2%). It will keep lowering after that and behave more like gold.

>have found that there are genetic underpinnings to the connection between intelligence and lifespan. ... When researchers controlled for smoking, for example, they found that the associations between IQ and deaths related to smoking persisted, suggesting that something innate was also influencing longevity.

Genetic factors that affect intelligence may affect the whole nervous system. We already know that IQ is correlates strongly with reaction speed. It would not be surprising if there is correlation with immune system (immune and nervous systems communicate) for example.

Is this tech built used else where if so where? If not then wouldn’t that be fascinating?

Perhaps there’s some near-field contactless thing going on, magnets in the pad keeping it in the right orientation.

In a way, an "organization" is just a very complex smart market or mechanism that we don't bother to analyze the incentive structures of. Organizational arrangements also involve transaction costs, and these can be quite high especially as size grows, personal loyalties decrease and inside politicking dynamics become prevalent. "The Nature of the Firm" is more about exploring the contrast of these different ways of arranging cooperation among agents than asserting one as consistently better than the other.
It's a good analogy. Price is a function of supply and demand. I don't understand why bitcoiners struggle so much with price theory.

Aging population: In 1970, the median age in California was 28; in 2020 it was 38. In 2030, it will creep up to 40.

Say what you will but when I was living in a Third World country with a pegged controlled currency (no access to international payments) it was thanks to bitcoin that I was able to pay for goods and services online (books, hosting, etc.).

Yeah, I get the impression that's true. There's an electrochemical reaction that's going to take place whether you want it to or not, and you have to keep adding water until the reaction is finished.

I kind of wonder if it would help to pack batteries with something that requires a huge amount of energy to vaporize, so that the heat from a battery fire just goes into a state transition of some inert substance. (You could boil water off for instance, but maybe there's something more weight-efficient.)
I've read through so many comments on the headphone jack debate throughout the years since they started removing them from phones, and I've still yet to see a fair justification for their removal.
You can still use wireless earbuds perfectly fine on phones that include a headphone jack, so the argument that wireless earbuds are more convenient is moot.
Arguing over the benefits and downsides of bluetooth do nothing to address the subject at hand, which is the removal of a feature that used to come standard on any phone on the market.

> to keep Greece afloat and prevent it from going down in the way that Lebanon or other places outside the EU's aegis did more recently

No, they did it to keep the EU banking system afloat, which was exposed to Greek debt.

They also wanted Greece to remain in the Euro, rather than returning to the drachma and admitting they couldn't square the circle of a shared currency without shared fiscal policy. Greece in the Euro vs Lebanon is a false dichotomy.
I get the idea, I was just wondering if someone had written something about the projected wider societal impact of such a scheme.

But maybe that misses the point: I have a firm belief that crypto currencies in one form or another is the future of money. History is too fraught with hyperinflation for it to not happen. The crypto currency that wins, though, will be the one that's in highest demand, not the one that's serves some abstract societal goals. So maybe the relevant question is: would linear emission be more attractive for its holders than e.g. Bitcoin's emission scheme with halvings of the inflation rate every four years?
I’m always fascinated by “vanished” history/technology. We think we have a general understanding of what happened up until now, but so much has come and gone without leaving an indelible footprint.
