Spot-on predictions!

If I predict this coin flip will be heads, and I flip it, and it is heads… does that mean I can predict coin flips? What if I do it three times in a row?

What if I do it 10 times in a row? [1]

None of these are top of my list. Mine is a better PHP.

To be clear, I like PHP. It actually has many attributes that make it almost ideal as a Web development language, most notably:

1. Pretty much everything is request-scoped. This makes it a lot harder to leak resources when everything is torn down;

2. A stateless functional core. This avoids a lot of class loading that has dogged Java (as one example);

3. No ability to start threads. This is actually a positive. Most application code should avoid creating threads like the plague.

But PHP comes with a lot historical cruft. It's type system is also primitive (Hack is a better example of this).

Where I think this could really shine is in data analysis (ie the numpy/scipy realm).
I am using postfix, rspamd, dovecot and restic for backups. I didn't track the time but it was evenings for almost a week including transfer. So maybe 15-20h? I'm hoping the maintenance now should be near-zero.

Oddly enough, I disagree with this, and in a way where I don't really see anyone who agrees as a peer.

Why? This approach fundamentally misunderstands the HTTP model. HTTP is not RPC. Again, HTTP is not RPC. Nor is it, as the article claims 'mostly just TCP with extra steps.' HTTP is a protocol for hypertext transfer which enables one to design applications not as APIs, but as state machines.

> If they get a 200, then they also get a payload describing success or failure. If you get any other HTTP status, it's an unexpected or unknown error.

That's just incorrectly written server software. A 400-series error may/should carry a payload. A 500-series error may/should carry a payload.

Use HTTP the way it is intended and designed, and these things are easy; misuse it and they are hard (and as you note, unmanageable). So … don't do that!
The price of a home doesn't really matter. You're effectively buying yourself a monthly payment. $1M 30 yr loan @ 3% vs 7% is $4,200/mo vs $6,600/mo.

Monetary policy right now. It has everything to do with monetary policy for the past few years, which created trillions of new dollars.

I live in a highly zoned area (The Woodlands) north of Houston that shows the contrast in this article. The semi-private zoning idea allows this area to have both nice residential areas and inexpensive commercial and industrial sites. The net effect is that working people can actually live a better lifestyle at a lower cost than in many US cities.

If you code to a standard, this is less of a problem. If you implement AES in a way that produces a different output to someone elses implementation, then you by definition haven't implemented AES.

From a binary trust perspective, this is maybe a good way of ensuring that you're running the code you really think you are - but really you just kick the can down the road. You didn't build the hardware, and thus you don't know it's doing with your data once the instructions start executing. Is it storing them off to a side-buffer? Is the CPU detecting AES-like behaviour and triggering some surreptitious path? Who knows. This is where projects like precursor (https://player.vimeo.com/video/677854277?h=8ad58eece9) are really interesting. To be really, super sure that your code is running as expected, you have to build the world from the ground up.
While I agree with the premise of finite energy and resources here, I don't agree that current systems are an inherent consequence of it. It's the way we as societies have allowed things to be structured. They don't have to be structured in such a way. Energy and resources have various allocation models that can be adopted, we just seem to be moving right back to the darwinistic models more and more which makes me question the stability of societies in general, especially as allocation systems tend to deviate away from natural allocation systems yet remain darwinistic.

If we continue along competitive models for allocation to the end, we're right back where humans started before forming societies except in an articicial darwinistic model which I'd say people are increasingly rejecting, so we need to start thinking a bit more about more equitable allocation systems than we currently have. Right now, I'd say the general population is pretty fed up with existing allocation systems.

That’s my conclusion after a bunch of losses that could have been gains (not in btc): ease in and out rather than trying to time the market and buy/dump all at once.
Hell! I forgot that.
Indeed. The application contemplated by HTTP is hypertext. If we are being sticklers for the RFCs, modern applications implementing non-hypertext business logic via HTTP are abusing more than just response status codes.

But if we relax the “hypertext” presumption a bit and consider HTTP a protocol for the transfer of resources, surely an API can be implemented such that using response codes is sensible and useful. REST and SOAP for CRUD operations can still work just fine, and response codes can still make sense in the context of the API itself, even if the content is JSON describing business logic state.

It’s a messy world, so we have to be liberal in what we accept, but using status codes is not inherently abuse. Any ambiguity might just be a symptom of leaky abstractions in the API.
Historically the fed has prioritised managing inflation over unemployment. My bet is that we will go through a recession without monetary easing until the CPI gets back in line.

I used CP/M back in the day, on some of the last-ever CP/M computers, the Amstrad PCW series.

I still have one: they ran CP/M 3.0, AKA CP/M Plus, the final and richest version.

I don't think it was nicer or better. It was simpler, and so arguably cleaner. A CP/M machine generally had at most 64kB of RAM and floppy drives: machines with a hard disk, or with more RAM, were rare.

So that meant CP/M could be a lot more minimal than MS-DOS.

CP/M grew up into CP/M-86, which turned into Concurrent CP/M, a full multitasking OS. That grew into Concurrent DOS, a full multitasking MS-DOS compatible multiuser OS.

And CDOS developed into two things:

* DR FlexOS, a real-time multiutasking multiuser OS with a GUI, which is still around today in the form of IBM 4680 and 4690 OS.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4690_Operating_System

Latest update: December 2020.

* DR DOS, the original better DOS than DOS.

Probably the best-selling and most widely-used member of the family.

Still around today as DR OpenDOS. I've been working on it myself.

To avoid some classes of security issue, and also because it started much closer to asm.js in features, WASM uses structured programming control flow like blocks, if..then, and break statements. Functions can only be called by the call instruction right now, so this proposal is needed to jump to an function body.
> My API was returning 404 as a fairly common response when a user makes a typo, but Twilio's observability code was treating that as a serious error it needed to alert me about.

Then Twilio's obesrvability code is broken. Requesting a non-existent resource is not a serious error if resources are requested by hand-constructed URLs.

Tail calls can be optimized at the source code level too. When I first read about them decades ago I thought it was a stupid notion due to me not understanding how a good compiler can optimize them away. Then I wondered why certain people felt the need to write code that way. I still wonder that.
I think the subscribtions are just too expensive for a lot of people. For example, $7 a month to listen to somebody's paywalled podcast is $84 a year, just to hear that one person alone. For some people that's a drop in the bucket, but, for many, it's just too expensive. Makes more sense to subscribe once a year for a month, go through all the content, come back in a year and repeat the process.

Oh that was a very satisfying read - thanks for sharing. I feel like I must order some Vidalia onions.

I will point out the fortuity of a lot of these events almost like it was destined to happen - i.e. domain let up, individual with capacity/interest to build a business, locality, finding a high quality product read to go D2C etc. I love the chutpah of OP and all the marketing campaigns!

I wonder if other farmers have asked to join the supply side and how the journey has been from upstart to a relative established market position of niche(?) quality product?

I should add I am a fan of quality produce - and we need more people growing good produce and access to markets too support those growers before it disappears to mass farming.
Most of the pre-war rise was recovering from the covid crash of gas prices. The price overshot its pre covid level a bit, but that can be explained through supply issues (you can't increase production on a dime; demand was difficult to predict; and suppliers prefer to under produce than over produce)
I don't disagree (and I certainly would never correct anyone who says Czech Republic), but "Federal Republic of Germany" usage was fairly common before Germany was reunited.

If you need to be already logged in the device that reads the QR code, then the QR is no longer encoding a magic link. It is more similar to doing the 2nd part of 2FA (after skipping the 1st) but adding unnecessary complexity in between. If we expect the user to be already logged in on a device that they have at hand, why give them a QR code instead of simply a PIN code or a notification to confirm the new login?
Same here. I was meaning to buy an apartment, but that's not going to happen.
There's a classic scam (I'm sure it has a name, but I don't know it) where the scammer gives out predictions for some stock or other: they pick their (large) group of targets, then send half a prediction that it will rise, and the other half that it will fall. After the appropriate time passes, they are proven right to one half, and wrong to the other.

Then they take the half they got right, and do the same thing again. After a few iterations, their pool of marks is smaller...but they also believe that the scammer is never wrong. (I believe the scammer then tells them they need to put a large sum down—which the scammer will, of course, handle for them...and then absconds with it.)

You're focusing on the ones who got it right, ignoring the ones who got it wrong, and calling it smarts. It's very unlikely to be so. The market as a whole should always be treated no differently than the scammer's entire initial pool of marks.

It's confounding to me. AAA/AA has always been an unhelpful designation. Much of PC gaming's recent hallmarks have used Unity to great success, for example Hollow Knight. Developers used to proclaim their games were based on Unity almost akin to a badge of honor. That honor is diluted by Unity's pursuit of the indie mobile gaming space which is tarnished with microtransactions and ads.

Blockbuster titles may pull in more revenue. But they also can fail spectacularly. Is there a financial window for a tightly focused indie-game engine like Unity? I don't know. But it's hard not to see Unity's arc rhyming with the story of other VC-soaked growth-chasing operations.
It doesn’t really look any better anywhere in the bell curve.

"Young" sections of the sky are near. They typically have bright stuff in them --- stars within our own galaxies, bright nearby galaxies otherwise.

In general, any part of the sky in which there are known objects ... is likely younger than parts in which there are none.

Because of the dynamics of the Big Bang, that is, the fact that the known universe was compressed to a singularity of infinite density, if you look back far enough, you'll find something, if only the cosmic background. To date, the background of every deep field image take has had fainter and remoter background objects.

Aim away from the galactic plane and away from the galactic centre. Look away from known galaxies and galactic clusters. Those are the emptiest parts of the sky, and anything you can see there will likely be both distant and old. Look for a long time (use long exposures) to gather as much light as possible. Those are deep fields, and that is old space.

You can also choose your observation frequency/wavelength based on the anticipated redshift, which itself is a function of distance.

TL;DR: Find the emptyiest part of the sky you can, and stare at it for as long as you can, at the right red for the distance.

The reactive programming language one is really interesting. A compiler ought to be able to compile "normal" straight-line code into conventional efficient code. It's hard to know how that sort of thing would "pollute" the rest of the code, though, like, will every program turn into a rat's nest of dependencies such that it's just impossible to manage or what? Hard to tell without trying, especially since developing such a language would also require significant effort into developing a standard library and best practices to go with it even if the language was in hand today. And one hell of a debugger. Circular dependencies are a problem, too; I'm inclined to ban them but that's probably beyond what a type system can help you with, or at least, any type system I currently know, so it's going to be an adventure.

Still, there's a lot of things that would be more useful with such a language. In-memory highly-correct cache invalidation would become trivial code to write. In fact I think the cache would actually update itself live. Out-of-memory cache invalidation might be pretty easy. Certain auditing things would be easy. UIs would probably take some work to get right but would be interesting, at the very least. Game programming would also be interesting; a lot of game patterns would be incorporated into the language at that point.

Probably need to be lazy; I suspect proactively recalculating everything all the time would be a bad idea. Haskell has pushed lazy programming a long way, but "re-thunkifying" a previously calculated cell would be a new frontier.

Come to think of it, while I think the performance could be improved and you'd want to lift up to a full language eventually, I think a good Haskell programmer could bash together a prototype of this in a few days and start playing with it. It's going to need a lot of playing with before someone casts it into concrete as a language specification and corresponding compiler and runtime.
Maybe I should give it a try again, then.

At least in housing, this seems to be the case... In cities like Seattle, the DMV area, etc., I hear about price decreases and homes sitting on the market for weeks.

Where I'm located(east coast LCOL area), we still compete with ~15 bidders for every house, and they're still reliably selling within 2-3 days for 10% over asking, all cash, with inspections waived.

Obviously part of this is a supply issue, but, I have a strong suspicion the rise of remote work is a contributor to price increases near us. We live a short distance(~1-2 hrs) from several major metros, and with the flexibility to go into the office only a few days a month, It's feasible to take a much higher paying job in somewhere like NYC and commute. Local wages for engineers here are/were also much lower than what was offered for typical remote roles, so I'm sure that's causing an additional upward pressure
I don't think that's a common assumption, inflation means stricter monetary policy which slows growth for companies so stocks go down.

in that vein: status is pretty useful, seems like a good solution is using two separate non-200 status codes to differentiate between employee not found vs typical 404 no such endpoint/url/path.
This one was easy though. Practically everyone was looking around while the pandemic stock market was exploding, realizing that it didn't make sense.

For me, Tesla was the flashing red sign, it's market cap was something close to that of the entire auto industry combined. I had a big expense coming up this year, so I went ahead and sold a bunch of stock in January.

> In regards to interoperability it does matter I think, if it's non-standard then it won't "just work" in an application that's expecting the standard.

The standard is to return a 404 for a resource that is not found. The standard is not to return a 200.

An application which expects a 200 for a not-found resource is not expecting standard behaviour, and is dead wrong.
