Hell, no.

What's unbelievably crass is the idea that children are obliged to respect and sift through gigantic heaps of stuff just because their parents had some emotional connection to some small parts of it - because most of it is guaranteed to be absolutely useless junk they did not actually value but merely couldn't bring themselves to throw away because of hoarding instincts.

The idea that this obligation is some kind of way to repay for what the parents did for the children is completely absurd and idiotic. It does nothing for your parents.

If you want to repay them, spend time with them. Do something for them which they actually experience.

When your parents are dead, sorting through their stuff out of a sense of obligation is basically self-castigating for your failure to do the above. Sure, if you enjoy it, if it helps you deal with the loss, do it. But not because you feel you have to.

Any SQLite client, which has not only been included on many devices for 20+ years, but you can also just install `sqlite3` and open it manually anyways. You also cannot open an image file without an image viewer, a pdf file without a pdf viewer, and any "hand rolled" raw text format you built yourself (if the file gets large enough) WILL be unreadable just as much.

Or any SQL DB viewer, like DataGrip.
It does. What's your point? The only difference is proof-of-work measures it more indirectly by letting rich people compete in how fast they can burn cash rather than just flaunting what they have. Both are bad.
Letting the people with wealth and power use an alternative system would be the same thing as killing the public system. No one with the ability to improve the system would have the incentive to. It's the reason public schools aren't improving. In a privatized system you'll get a divided population with some being very well educated and while some get no education at all.

There's nothing preventing a public system from being changed and improved. Take Finland as an example. Everyone goes to the same public schools there, rich or poor. The result is one of the best education systems in the world. New methods are regularly tested and teachers have a lot of freedom to choose the ones that suit them.

So I guess that means this is the destiny you've chosen? I have a very hard time taking anyone spouting such obvious, anti-intellectual propaganda seriously. Poe's law and all.
To get to your conclusion you ignore 99% of what my comment si about and concentrate on a single thing, cars. I don't like these kinds of arguments where people carefully select one minor thing and pretend it's the main point. I wrote about quite ab bit more, and cars were not even close to the center of my post!

> I call friends and family, enhancing connections and communicating more.

I also question the validity of statements such as these. It does not seem to me to be supported by evidence that our connections between people - and lets concentrate on connections between already connected people to remove the question if new tech lets us make new ones more often - are qualitatively better than in the past. I would think such a statement very much deserves a [Citation needed] response. I think a lot of your statements are equally... creative and subjective, or worse ("I don't die as often, living is productive.").
We are already fucking with ecosystems with all the plastic fishing nets we are dumping in the ocean, and the microplastics that are everywhere. Obviously we shouldn't execute plans without a solid analysis, but entertaining ideas that resolve the problems we create is the first step.

I am also interested in the geography here, especially wrt to the currency/units in "35 -> 50 -> +10k"

My opinion with EURS and the company stasis that issue this stablecoin is very positive, simply no problems. I feel safe holding eurs cause it is backed with fiat money. Never liked the synthetic assets, so for the moment i am good with Eurs and Usdc for the euro and dollar part of my portfolio..

Do you have recommendations for stateful workloads? Would the answer always be 'connect to an external DB/API for all state'?

E.g. if I need to run a bunch of processing, would it be
A) spin up the micro-VM and pull from a queue service
B) embed SQLite
C) use some kind of in-memory store

Isn't the bigger unintended consequence that it makes plastic not durable any more? In some sense it's the wrong problem to solve. You want durability in a material but want a toggle (or condition change) to trigger an alteration in its property when you're done with it.
Yeah I think this war on consumerism and boomer lifestyle is a bit exaggerated, and I mean, if you take away all the benefits and rewards you have to take away some of the demands too. I can recycle and share and rent and downsize if I can also downsize my working hours accordingly. A bit weird that the middle class now wants to get rid of the carrot and just have a bigger stick, that doesn't really add up for me.

This is running a single unthreaded process.

My Mac, which isn't doing anything fancy, has over 500 processes running on it. In fact, I just checked to see if anything bad was going on, and I recognize everything I look at - almost 100 processes from Chrome alone, for example.

How sure am I that all of these processes are running correct code? Chrome is running "101.0.4951.54 (Official Build) (x86_64)", which gives a hint of the disposable nature of that binary.
> Lambdas start much faster than 300ms when warm IME.

My understanding is that Lambdas aren't ever really truly warm unless you have a completely steady traffic level. The first request in a while will hit the latency spike. But so will every increase in concurrency. So if you were serving 2 req/sec, and a 3rd concurrent visitor comes along then they will also get a cold start.

If you have a low-latency use case then fly.io's regular VMs are much better than either this or lambda. You get permanently running VM (the smallest of which is $2/month for 256mb/RAM), which can serve more than one request all by itself and will auto-scale with traffic.

> By locking highly valuable collateral (treasuries) on the Fed balance sheet, the financial system is deprived of the stuff that keeps it going.

Treasuries are locked away, while the cash is made up from nothing and handed over to the government to continue spending.

More government spending means more money sloshing around the economy, driving prices up.

> If you try to find documentary evidence for the notion of the Fed money printer spinning new dollars into existence, you will find none.

The stock market is awfully correlated to the Fed balance sheet.

Upper case keywords are not removed. You can continue to use the old syntax, so the code looks like it came straight out of the sixties, see https://oberon-lang.github.io/2021/07/15/examples-with-tradi.... Each valid Oberon, Oberon-07 or Oberon-2 program is a valid Oberon+ program. The lexer checks whether module is written in upper or lower case and then switches the syntax. Only a few people still prefer the old syntax. What do you dislike about begin/end?

Any reasonable person would look at the standard and conclude there is no other implicit intent than to describe a standard.

They never got the right to pretend it, as C/C++ was never meant to be that. Sure, the first (several) versions of the compiler were not as smart as modern ones, but any reasonable person who would have looked at the standard should have understood since day 1 what all this was about.

If you are reasoning on any other machine that the C virtual machine, _you_ are wrong. If you want to reason about X86, use assembly. Higher level languages are not coupled to any particular hardware.
I am incorrect in this regard.

Yeah the ozone hole supposedly wasn't really the reason for skin cancer rates as the 'hole' itself never really extended much past Antarctica. It's more to do with your factors, clearer air, and possibly the global drop in ozone levels.

I really think Donbas would have been more peaceful and less separatist if there had been more weapons before Strelkov's campaign of 2014. I can tell even more - there would be no Bucha massacre if any household of Bucha had something more powerful than a shotgun (50m effective range). And by the way, getting allowed for using even a hunting weapon in Ukraine requires passing through tremendous bureucracy.

For example, if I want a shotgun to practice shooting at plates and bottles, I need to declare my goal as becoming a hunter. Becoming a hunter requires passing an exam on fauna species (for not shootng a Red Book species, obviously). But I don't want to be a hunter because Ukraine is not a USA and seing wild animals in forest is a rare event (believe me, I am living less than 1 km to a nearest forest and it is a tough natural forest, not a park with sparce trees). And going through hunterness is not the only bureaucracy obstacle to becoming an owner of firearms.

Just having a language that allows you to prove things does not mean it is possible to prove them.

You’re missing the point. It’s that companies shouldn’t expect employees to improve themselves for the companies benefit on their own time. Not that employees shouldn’t improve themselves for their own benefit on their own time if they want to. Ergo if companies expect employees to work specifically to get better at their jobs they should provide resources and training in work time as its part of the job itself.
I was convinced Apple review guidelines state the core functionality of the app must be in the bundle that is reviewed and they would reject it if it's loaded mostly over http.

> This attitude where employees sit like bags of potatoes waiting for knowledge to permeate their brains via osmosis is awful.

I think you misunderstand. A person who is getting paid is already useful. That is why they were hired. By studying you want them to be more useful and that is an extra demand over their contract.
Unfortunately it probably also doesn't have all the safety features like a riving blade, either. That doesn't mean it's useless, but it does mean it needs more care to use it and novice woodworkers shouldn't rush in blindly.

It is nice to see that finally this can be done in the web. I worked a bit in web-based sound around 2008 for the music playback in some Flash games[0] i was working on and at the time sound was woefully limited.

I wanted to use MOD music because of their much smaller size (i wanted to keep my games less than 1MB in size because at the time many people had slow connections and really you didn't want people to wait regardless - Flash games were put in places where there were like 289347823 alternatives next to it).

There wasn't any usable MOD player (there was one but used GPL which was impractical for games and had some technical issues in playback) so i made my own and since there wasn't really an audio API beyond "play that sound file" ("sound file" being wav or mp3), what i did was to generate a SWF file in memory with the MOD file converted into a WAV (infinite looping commands weren't supported) and play that (for some reason Flash had an API for doing that, probably to allow for custom SWF encryption).

That was during Flash Player 9 times. Later FP10 added some better audio API but by the time it became as widespread as FP9 i had already lost interest in Flash.

Later when HTML5 got audio APIs i considered porting the player to HTML5 (it was written in HaXe[1] which supported a bunch of target platforms and languages, including JavaScript) but at the time the HTML5 audio APIs were a mess with every browser doing its own (and some weren't that great - e.g. IIRC Chrome didn't had a callback for streaming/generating audio but instead expected you to "race" the playback and put data ahead of the time) and then was the last time i checked audio in a web browser.

I just tried it on desktop (Windows with Google Chrome) and then on iPad and iPhone. Seems to work.

No downloads or app installs. Instant gratification compared to downloading Apple Logic Pro from the App Store. And Logic doesn't work cross platform on Windows. I also notice your Ardour is cross-platform -- but doesn't run on iOS.

If a programmer wants zero-install + cross-platform, what are the alternatives other than the web browser runtime being the target? (Other than programmer learning and writing 5 different native versions which lowers velocity of adding product features.)
> Sorry, I use a phone to look up transit info and it's 100x more convenient.

I'm a bit baffled, what does your reply have to do with either of my previous comments? I mean what I actually wrote, I'm aware I prominently mentioned such a convenience feature. It's just that there was no question that it was convenient.
This is something that somewhat plages the Rust ecosystem, since the .rs tld exists. Thankfully, every single library in existence has its docs built automatically and sent to docs.rs, so you don't even need those lib's websites.

They have a use when you follow the git tip to have docs from HEAD and not a release.
The complexity is the purpose: these types of projects typically function more as a way to learn how to approach problems with kubernetes, rather than learning how to deploy pi-hole.

Unfortunately it's all perspective.

A sceleton crew might be good for mature projects that require very little support of any kind. If there aren't a lot (and that is subjective) of incidents and tickets from customers things might actually be good.

If you are not "top management" (executive, VP, C-level etc.) in that company there is very little you can do to change things.

What you can do is evaluate what you can expect as work and if you are going to find it rewarding.

This is great! I can recommend everyone doing this - it's weirdly satisfying to help out in other peoples places and not as much a "chore" as in your own home for some reason.

You can clean up, move stuff around, throw things out, get them a better vacuum, set up wifi, get them better lighting, decorate stuff, or whatever you're good at.

It's the same psychological mechanism at play when you can quickly give good advice and plan in other peoples lives but it's harder applying in your own.

I recommend trying to "optimize" your friends or parents homes if they are down / getting old - for me it's about getting rid of or organising their stuff stuff, making it easy to clean, set up good lighting etc. Always respect peoples history and stuff and history of course.
