> If some peer is causing massive contention issues for your network

But generally it's not "some peer" causing the problem. It's the fact that you have a million clients that all want something from that peer, and that peer is supplying it to them. And those customers are _each_ paying you to be able to get it from that peer. So you don't have a problem with "some peer" taking up N bandwidth, you have a problem with 1 million clients each taking up <N / 1 million> bandwidth; which you sold to them.

If you have a problem with your million customers using up the bandwidth you have, then cap your bandwidth at the max amount you can support and/or raise the amount of bandwidth you have available.
Surely if it's such an easy job, you can fit it along your other tasks.

If you can't then perhaps it's worth re-examining if it's as easy as you think it is.

I applied for a job couple of years ago that wanted a cognitive assessment and what they billed as an IQ test. I applied to several other jobs that had such absurd hoops that, as you say, it became routine for low level work. It's not that we're naive youngsters who don't know any better. We just often don't have a choice. There's no chance to save money or to live off savings when young unless living with relatives while working, and that becomes burdensome quite quickly.
I'be been working with DynamoDB daily for a few years now, and whilst I like working with it and the specific scenario it solves for us, I'd still urge anyone thinking about using it to carefully reconsider whether their problem is truly unique enough that a traditional RDBMS couldn't handle it with some tuning. Theycan be unbelievably performant and give so much stuff for free.

Designing application specifically for DynamoDB will take _a lot_ of time and effort. I think we could have saved almost a third of our entire development time had we used more of the boring stuff.
Two things I noticed from looking at the screenshots:

1. The MS Windows 7 Task Manager look very similar to the KDE 1 version (from the late nineties): https://history.user-interface.io/img/kde-1/task-manager.jpe...

Resolution would not improve, but contrast would and you would be able to see fainter objects with less noise.
Yeah, it's always been a political problem, not an engineering one.

If you're effectively getting paid to release carbon into the atmosphere, then you're going to release a lot of carbon into the atmosphere. You're also going to get really pissed if someone wants to start charging you for it rather than paying you.

Luckily there were enough people who pushed for renewable subsidies to get them over the hump where even supervillains would use them for their own selfish profit.

Still to be seen whether we left it too late, how long disinformation and lies will hold us back still and so on, and whether any petro-states will start a big war to distract from the new reality but I'm generally positive (or as positive as you can be when you realise some of the largest corporations in the world and their pet politicians were literally gambling the future of the human race just so they'd get a fat bonus while making everyone else sicker and poorer, again).
this depends on the tld. for most tlds you buy another year of registration on transfer and thus extending the expiration.

> Probably a roughly similar amount to what is created building a nuclear, or any other, power station.

I'd love to see some figures that prove or disprove that. I'm inclined to disagree and say that more waste is produced making solar panels and wind turbines due to the sheer volume of them that are being mass manufactured.

> What's your point?

My point is that everyone talks about nuclear waste, but no one talks about the toxic chemical waste produced the mass manufacture of hundreds of thousands of solar panels and turbines, versus the one-off construction of a few hundred nuclear power stations, and the extraction of a relatively small-by-weight amount of fuel.

Nuclear power is always under minute scrutiny compared to "green" power.
Same here, I've been running a single-board Z80-based system with 64k and CP/M 2.x

I worked my way through the various infocom adventures, and even wrote my own trivial text-based adventure game in Z80 assembly language - later porting it to the ZX Spectrum (which was the actual computer of my youth).

It's fun to play with these systems, and I've rebuilt the CP/M from sources a few times to add simple changes and new built-in commands.
I can appreciate the points about not knowing enough to engage an expert early or using a good wrapper library, etc. But this point blows my mind:

> There’s this Network Partition thing, it’s kind of a big deal

How could someone using RabbitMQ cluster not consider how the cluster would behave during a partition? This is exactly the kind of thing that should be tested in a safe environment before running the cluster in production.

Testing for network partitions is not something one wishes someone else would have told. It is an essential responsibility for anyone in a software engineering role. Not doing some basic testing to understand partition scenarios before running a cluster (any type of cluster) in production is a disaster just waiting to happen.

Despite the Electronness, I think the UX of Discord is still much better than that of Element. There's just something off about the way element responds to interactions, I can't put my finger on it. I've noticed there have been some improvements made over time, but Discord is still much more fluent in the places where it matters.

Cinny, being very Discord inspired, also gets many of the Discord usability features right. With the way Cinny is developing I wouldn't be surprised if the two projects would eventually merge together. The lack of audio/video support is the most obvious flaw at the moment, but perhaps once proper Matrix voice is stable and implemented in Element we'll see some improvements in that area in Cinny as well.

I would love to do business directly with the company, but often they don't reach out to me, while these intermediary recruiters do. I guess the value of recruiters is that they reach out to companies and to developers, and they connect the two.

Recruiters who merely repost the same listing that the company posted without adding any value, deserve to go out of business. Mind you, if every listing contained the hourly rate or pay range, they'd have a much harder time inserting themselves where they don't belong.
> The problem isn't that people can't think strategically.

The problem is that real life has a way of making your strategy obsolete.

The thing is we know what this looks like from the right. We’ve seen it many times before and we know how to ridicule it in the public square.

The emergence of a non-secular religious order from the left is a relatively new thing in America. Whereas on the ultra right you see hatred for people who look different, on the ultra left you see the same hatred for people who THINK different.

Look at what happens when one of their own happens to disagree with them. They are immediately branded “X-ist” and casted out. An example is lifelong feminists who are being branded TERFs for the sin of questioning what’s happening in womens sports.

I know plenty of Democrats who are not woke. I know plenty of republicans who are not religious zealots. It is important to note the distinction between these groups. PG’s essay is about the emergence of a new such group in the US which is both fascinating and dark.
No, it doesn't. It has value but no hard value.

The SMD is 2€ through the big parts distributor where he can get all the other parts, and pay for shipping just once.

But he wants DIP, which he said they don't have in stock. So now he pays extra for DIP, extra for rarity, and again for shipping from another seller. It costs probably more like 10€ at this point. Why pay 5x when you can pay 0.5x?

You don't want to waste money like that on multiple parts in each project, across multiple projects each year.
Just Wonderful Space Telescope
We do not try to replace existing solutions or technologies. They all have their well known pros and cons.

While working with customers we identified that even Terraforms HCL configuration requests too much knowledge from users. So we tried to come up with a tool where a team can take ownership of the Terraform part while the actually users can just write configurations (also in HCL). You can for sure achieve the same with CDKTF, there is no doubt.

Terramate gives us the same orchestration features that you mentioned as you can define an order of execution between stacks. You can even enforce stacks to always run if another stack is triggered. Change Detection based on our Git Integration allows us to just run stacks that actually have changed and thus reducing wait times for very big set ups to a minimum, which makes our solution very scalable.

We also currently work on easier stack management features to be able to create stacks with a single call (already available) or clone stacks for either promoting them through the environment e.g. from staging to production or to just duplicate resources easily. Those features will be used to create one-click solutions to request a new respository with a default config (as defined by the company) in less than 30 seconds + time to review (if desired) + very fast deployment.

The goal here was to create a great user experience (UX) for teams that normally do not use Terraform or programming languages as GitHub is also used by other departments than engineering like marketing, hr or sales - but also allowing the team managing this solution to easily extend it to own needs.

Our solution is currently based on Terraform but might even evolve to something else as we also see the bottleneck in the provider where both Terraform or CDKTF will face the same issues in the end.
My point being that it's quite different if everyone does it on pen & paper. If you're the only one, it's a disadvantage to do an essay exam on paper when your competition does it on laptops, no?

The reason you don't see "rocketship" investment is because the problem isn't hard enough, no matter how well you solve it you wouldn't be anywhere close to virtual monopoly. But despite that, hydrostor.ca got an investment of a quarter billion earlier this year, and they already started projects for A-CAES facilities in the GWh range (comparable to smaller pumped hydro) when their funding was less than a tenth of that (I suppose actual projects wouldn't be included in that funding, I think they see themselves as a project specialist, not as an owner/operator even if some/most/all current projects seem to be subsidiaries, perhaps a bit like spacex/starlink if you like space analogies).

I always wonder how much it should actually be done to the "coding" [1] standards in the social sciences. Social scientists working with qualitative data start analyzing by putting codes in various specialized ways to the data. In more rigorous studies those codes are simultaneously assign by different researchers and then cross-checked. There is a lot of literature of how to come up with codes, e.g., Grounded Theory, and how to go further. I always think that we need to bridge the gap between engineers and social scientists working on the same problems.

In the past, any restaurant who provided their own delivery proved it was viable despite lacking the economies of scale, tech and extra efficiency offered by restaurant-agnostic delivery drivers.

Nowadays it’s impossible to compete if VCs are happy to burn money to undercut you at a loss but that doesn’t mean the underlying model is flawed - if VCs and “growth and engagement” stops being a thing there could absolutely be an independent delivery operator that doesn’t screw everyone over.

> Really so much more than a parking meter for every spot?

Do old school parking meters (one per parking space) still exist, and if so, why?

One ticket machine can sell paper parking tickets for 10s or 100s of parking spaces.

Some modern machines even avoid the printed ticket entirely and allocate the payment to the number plate of your vehicle.

YES!

Often as adults we take a prescriptive approach to what young people should want/do/feel without actually knowing anything about them, and then we are surprised when they don’t respond to our wisdom.

I’ll add that the computer often also fills a social need. Within the often toxic social environment of the school, finding other people with common interests can be quite challenging, but online accomplishing such thing is a lot easier because there’s a twitch/tiktok for everything and likely an accompanying discord server.

When as we grew up playing with kids down the street because we had in common that the both of us had a bike or legos or whatever, we happen to live in a very different world in which often, not even the adults that would like the kids to “go out and play” actually know their next door neighbors.

In addition to the other answers, I’ll also put forth the distinction between many individuals lending their unique interpretations based on their individual biases and a politically cohesive batch of historians revising expressly for political activist purposes. This is why academic heterodoxy is important.

Note also that this all mirrors debates about the media, another epistemological institution with a high degree of political homogeneity (and a similar orientation as among historians), which also has a lot of folks who argue that journalists shouldn’t be obliged to pursue objective or neutral narratives because perfect neutrality and objectivity are unachievable (in other words, they implicitly argue that 99.9% objective, neutral reporting is no different than 0%).
To be fair, you can end up spending a lot of time on the boring stuff as well.
