I'll second the recommendation for this one in particular! Although I knew most of Elton John's hits from listening to the local classic rock radio station growing up, I didn't know many of his deeper cuts, and I first heard about this song after hearing a Dream Theater cover on one of their live albums. I absolutely loved the song and looked it up, and I was surprised to see it was by Elton John! I think he's actually underrated as a musician in some ways; it takes one type of talent to put out chart-topping hits, and another type of talent to put together a technical masterpiece that stays riveting for over seven minutes, and he definitely has both.
But to use software you acquire, you have to copy it into your computer's RAM and maybe hard drive. That's relevant to copyright law. To use this hardware device you stole, you don't need to do that. So it's much less clear copyright law would apply. Reflashing the device with new firmware though, then copyright law could apply.
Joseph Gordon Levitt did that song in the lip sync battle on Fallon and he did “Tony Danza” the whole way through.
(Some of these are options I've not looked deeper into - Fauna, Planetscale)

This sentiment is perhaps right, but I was careful about calling out scale-to-zero. We do have options that are zero cost (or pay as you use), but there's a fundamental difference in something that may be zero cost because a cloud provider is using it as a customer-acquisition ploy.

Options like litestream+sqlite+s3, or what Neon seems to be, are verifiable you-pay-for-when-db-is-booted up, else the verifiable cost is storage only.

So the trifecta that will be very productive for masses is 1) database where compute is scale-to-zero, 2)open source or commoditised, and 3) is RDBMS.

If Terraform is stateless, how does it know what it needs to / can delete?

You'll either have to:

- Move the state management elsewhere, and invoke different commands depends on what and how resources are changed. This will make automation difficult, and doesn't solve the problem.

- Make Terraform assume that everything it sees is under its management, deleting everything not defined in the current configuration. This will make Terraform hard to adopt in an environment with existing infrastructure.
Whatever you want to call it, you need coercion to enforce the exclusivity.

That's a difference between physical objects and trading pure labor itself (like the trading foot massages example).
How are you going to use it? You have to copy it to your hard drive, right?

Imagine being able to play this and then just belting it out when you come across a piano at the mall or in a subway station.

I never learned to play piano; as a kid, I learned other instruments instead. This will always be a regret for me because I wish I could play. There's something so satisfying about playing and singing a song with such a strong chord progression right before the chorus. It makes you feel warm inside to play stuff like this. I have to substitute with acoustic guitar but piano would be so much better.
>On Google Earth, garbage collection pauses weren't really acceptable, but we also wanted to add new functionality without being slowed down. Rust is great for a lot of reasons, but as many know, it can be slower on the feature velocity front.

I have some doubt that Rust feature velocity is meaningfully worse than C++ or C. I would bet good money the other way to be honest.
At a prior job (writing database kernels in C++), code commits were automatically rejected if any core operation had an observed tail latency of 1 millisecond under stress tests. Also a way to become unfortunately familiar with storage firmware behavior. A GC with a worst-case latency in low milliseconds is a big improvement over the bad old days I remember, but that is still too high for data infrastructure performance-engineering.

The effectiveness of some key optimizations were sensitive to how tight we could make tail latencies for important operations, so a GC always had an unacceptable cost to the extent it occasionally introduced a stall at an inopportune moment. If GC stalls were more like 10 microseconds, consistently, that would be much more viable. I have no idea if that is realistically achievable.

Here's the thing. The average person only cares about their economic growth up to a point. Study after study has concluded that once most people have "enough" money, adding more does not bring them any more happiness (with the rare exception of a increase being so substantial that it radically improves their social status -- let's say by at least an order of magnitude).

And studies have shown that people become unhappy when confronted with people who have significantly more than them - simply put, envy.

Therefore, one can easily argue that if economic growth is coupled to ever-increasing inequality, it actually begins to reduce overall human happiness after a point -- and if you "read the room" around the world, I'm pretty sure humanity has passed that point.

Just take a look at how society is structured today, where a 1% difference in achievement at some arbitrarily determined age can lead to a difference in expected lifetime income that is orders of magnitude larger. And that's not to mention the kind of personal wealth that, due to the properties of exponential growth, cannot help but grow, regardless of the competence of its owner.

Die-hard capitalists argue that this is the best economic system that we've ever had, but our sample size is very limited. We've only been trying this out for a minute fraction of humanity's existence, and the effects of this system have not reached a steady state. If the past few decades are any indication, capitalism has made the world worse off in many ways. It enabled our ancestors to leave us with many major unsolved problems, with blissful ignorance - issues that are given token acknowledgement in economics classes as "externalities," a term that doesn't even begin capture how important they really are for humanity's future.

I posit that overall human happiness plotted against economic inequality is maximized somewhere in between strictly enforced equality and the extreme levels of inequality that we see today. It doesn't take a genius to see it, but no one really talks about the middle. Perhaps sanity is too boring for this generation.
The first time I attempted Rudin I gave up after the second chapter. I had been through Abbot, and still didn’t truly understand Analysis (or the style of analysts). After letting it sit for a few months, I picked Rudin back up and it instantly became my favorite text. I have no clue why this change happened so suddenly, but as a convert I will point out that he is a master at including exactly the right amount of detail: he does not leave details out, but neither does he commit the equally (if not more) harmful sin of over explaining a concept. This leaves every concept explained as concisely and simply as possible, but no more, and is extremely helpful as a person with ADHD. The book is worth it’s weight in gold: one can read a chapter of Rudin in a day and have a better understanding of the concept than reading twice or three times as much material in a competing analysis text.
Great. They have enough power to say, “hey, if you want to sell our product moving forward, we are going to ask you implement a preorder system by XX date. If you don’t we will, unfortunately, have to prioritize our limited supply to other retailers do to the ongoing high volume of scalping.”
What? This isn't controversial, Snowflake did this years ago and this is the main reason it became a $40B business.

Amazon came out with Redshift, a cloud OLAP database, but it tied compute with data so teams couldn't scale compute and data separately and thus had to pay disproportional costs to their required workloads.

Sure, there's good reasons to keep compute and data together. But there is obviously a massive market for technologies that keep them separate...

1. You seem to think that driverless cars are unimportant for places like Europe. I think you're deeply wrong. If cars that can equal or exceed the performance of median humans come to the market without adding more than a few tens of thousands of dollars to the cost of the vehicle, I expect that they will rapidly become more popular than current automobiles in Europe (and Europe is far from car-averse -- the Netherlands has about one car per two people), and that they will on the margin significantly (but not catastrophically) reduce usage of public transport. (EDIT: If the pattern of driverless cars is dominantly one of rides-for-hire rather than ownership, the total unit sales of driverless cars might be significantly lower than current unit sales of normal cars, but I would expect driverless cars to rapidly eat most of the passenger-miles of automobiles plus a significant share of the passenger-miles of public transit).

I recently joined a brilliant web scraping API company called ScrapFly, who provided me with the resources to create lots of open knowledge on web scraping that I always wanted to create!

So, to add to this list here are my top 3 favorite article that could expand OP's document:

0 - central guide to avoiding blocking - this one a tough one because there's so much information: request headers, http versions, TLS fingerprinting, javascript fingerprinting etc. I spent almost a month working on these and it was an amazing research experience that I could never afford myself before.

1, 2 - xpath and css selector introduction articles where I built a widget into our article that allows to test all css and xpath selectors right there in the learning material.

3 - introduction to reverse engineering - quick introduction to using browser devtools for web scraping, how to inspect the network and replicate it in your program. This is where I point all beginners as understanding the browser really helps to understand web scraping!

Apple is world class at a few different things and supply chain logistics is probably the thing they are best at. There is a reason the COO of Apple became CEO. What Apple has acomplished in operations is pretty astonishing.

With that said, that does not excuse Sony. They have had time to figure some basic solutions out. When I bought my 5900X I had to wait almost 6 months but I eventually got it because I was able to order it at launch even though it was already sold out.

I'm guessing no, or at most just have set of extensions that you can use (kind of like it's done in AWS RDS or AWS Aurora).

The claim is "serverless" i.e. you don't have access to the server and if you could install any extension you essentially have full access to the server as there's no restriction what you could do in an extension. I don't think that would be allowed.

Ahahaha there are commenters that don't realise that Cloudformation IS the state for your infrastructure that you've provisioned.

Ansible is stateless because every operation is suppose to be idempotent. Unless your ansible is doing a HTTP PUT request to an API I suspect you're misusing the tool for something it's not meant to do.

State is a good thing with infrastructure and terraform got it right.
"Stateless is better", until you remove a tf file or resource from your code and Terraform have no way to tell if that resource ever existed in the provider during the apply to delete it, because there's nowhere to compare and it is impractical to query all existent resources and all tags/ids from those resources in the cloud provider on every infrastructure change (imagine multiple CIs doing that all day long, there's not enough api quota and your pipeline will take forever just for terraform know what to change in a medium/large organization).

That deletion and modification problems happens in Ansible and other provisioning tools that relies in idempotency, and that is one of the things that makes Terraform different from them. A stateless Terraform is useless, it's better use other provisioning tools.

Maybe don't scope it to "everything I can see"? A model of "this current module maps to such-and-such container" could work, with the mapping vs the module working vaguely like git remotes vs your code tree.
The market being harder for juniors seems correct from what I’m seeing. I’ve been looking frequently for the last month to see what’s out there, and virtually no one I’ve noticed is seeking junior developers.
That's a fair point, but it shifts the management to the entity that is best equipped to manage it.. and at least with SAM, which makes to the bulk of our deploys, we've not had issues as long as the first deploy didn't error (since you can't fix a broken initial deploy)

When I've used CDK, I actually strip the boot strap and avoid the functions that add state, and it makes great templates... But as I mentioned before, my use case might be different and less prone to issues.. I'm mostly using ec2 servers, lambda, and the typical supporting services (iam, cloud watch, s3, CloudFront, sqs, etc.)
> the roads they're running on already built and paid for

Roads still require maintenance, and without a profound change in how cities are organized, these costs are always going to be overwhelmingly large compared with the cost of everything else.

> self-driving actually does is make modality, routing and scheduling less important to individual trip planning.

That is the worst type of optimization. It still keeps people in desolate suburbia and makes millions of people across America with the sensation that "commute time" is a constant that can not be avoided, so it should be at least made comfortable.

Investing to make the transportation systems smarter without even looking at how the urban spaces could be changed to get rid of cars is like the (myth) story of NASA putting millions of dollars to make a space pen, instead of using a pencil.
The most important part is the melody. I don't buy that "chords generate the melody" as he says early in the video, it's other way around. That was my philosophy when writing my AI melody generating assistant and it's proven successful or I wouldn't be able to make any catchy melodies.

I'll consider this a variation on moving state elsewhere. Now you have to keep the deleted resource forever. Or keep track of which environments the version with the removal directive is deployed to, or risk having orphaned resources in different environments.
My understanding is the PS5 breaks even at retail. There is essentially no profit margin, but they do not lose money.

This of course could be part of the problem—Sony may be unwilling to spend a premium to reserve more processors in advance as they already are operating on razor thin margins. Apple, on the other hand, pays TSMC far in advance and helps fund their research to get priority.

Great idea for specialized kernels where performance is critical. Poor idea for mundane glue code, needlessly slowing down reading/writing code with trivial detail. In practice, at least 95% of the code out there is quite mundane.

Python got it mostly right, though a language with a smoother transition between 'manual memory managed kernels' and 'general purpose glue' is still missing.

Rust has a great type system and handles manual memory management remarkably well. Sadly, it is missing the garbage-collected yin to complement its manually managed yang.

Simon thanks for taking the time to explain Datasette internals.

Not a Python developer myself, I was intrigued by the use of hooks to extend Datasette and ended up looking into pluggy and how Datasette plugins use hooks.

I noticed some Datasette hooks like 'extra_template_vars' override values set by other hooks, while 'extra_body_script' simply append stuff to a list.

How does Datasette avoid plugins clashing with each other? Say one plugin writes a header and another overrides it.
You can write songs either way around. Maybe your AI assistant can't generate catchy melodies on top of a chord progression, but humans can.

Sometimes when you hear a melody in your head, there are parts of it which you can't really explain when you try to fix the melody on paper. Often what's going on is you're hearing inner voices in the harmony in your head--you're really writing harmony and melody in concert, rather than one or the other.

There are plenty of catchy pop songs which get handed off to someone else to write a melody on top. It's common enough that there's a name for the job: "topline songwriter". Someone who writes the "topline"--the melody and lyrics sung by the vocalist, on top of a backing track that somebody else made.

And of course, then there are people who take an existing song, keep the melody, and reharmonize it. Dirty Loops is probably the most famous for this.
Having a state file isn't a bad idea. State files are a logical map from your code to the AWS resources. You can actually import a resource that Terraform never created into a state file so that Terraform can manage it.

But of course, you could just write the code to explicitly include that pre-existing resource, rather than have to run a command to tell a state file to explicitly include it.

The problem with Terraform isn't that it keeps its own state file. The problem is that Terraform is just really dumb, regardless of the state file. It doesn't know how to auto-import existing resources. It doesn't know how to overwrite existing resources. It doesn't know how to detect existing resources and incorporate them into its plan. It doesn't know how to delete resources that were unexpected. It's so stupid that it basically just gives up any time any complication happens.

Puppet and Ansible aren't that stupid. They both will make a best effort to deal with existing resources and work around problems. It's not the presence or absence of an external state database that make those tools "more advanced", it's simple logic.
