Xcode is a bug farm.

A HUGE bug farm. Whenever it gets an update, I might as well just go out and catch a show.

When I switched to an M1-based computer, the debugging became much finickier.

I suspect that this is an OS problem, as opposed to an Xcode problem (because it happens with other System-calling apps), but sometimes, spun processes seem to hang, and I can bang away on "Force Quit," until I'm blue in the face. Nothing but a hardware restart (I can't do a soft one) fixes it.

But Xcode brings the beast out on that one. It hangs and stutters quite frequently.
In most cases the elephant* in the room is your DB - it doesn't matter where your stateless application servers are, if your stateful DB goes down you're in trouble. It's also often 1) the hardest to replicate, as replication involves tradeoffs - see CAP theorem & co and 2) the most expensive, since it needs to be pretty beefy in terms of CPU, RAM and IO - all very expensive on AWS.

If vaping tasted like unwashed ass, it would be far less popular.

And smoking is a lot like coffee, some people do enjoy the taste/smell.

And others like the effects more than they dislike the taste.

So the fact that vaping tastes better than both Nicorette and cigarettes makes it an easier sell. No one is doing it because it tastes good, but because it tastes good, it's easier to start.
> The fact that so many popular sites/services are experiencing issues due to a single AZ failure makes me think that there is a serious shortage of good cloud architects/engineers in the industry.

Not really.

What's more likely is that their companies have other priorities. Multi-AZ architectures are more expensive to run, but that's normally not the issue. What's really costly is testing their assumptions.

Sure, by deploying your system in a Kubernetes clusters spread across 3 AZs and a HA database you are supposedly covered against failures. Except that when it actually happened, turns out your system couldn't really survive a sudden 30% capacity loss like you expected, and the ASG churning is now causing havoc with the pods who did survive.

Complex systems often fail in non-trivial ways. If you are not chaos-monkeying regularly, you won't know about those cases until they happen. At which time it's too late.
You can write programs and never know what an algorithm is. That’s roughly the equivalent. Someone with formal training in cooking will know the mother sauces, almost certainly, just like someone with formal training in CS will almost certainly know big-O notation.

If you want to learn this stuff, there textbooks on cooking. Not quite the same thing as a cookbook!
If you can get the data out of the downed AZ, don't have state you need to transfer and are not shot in the foot once the primary replica comes online again. I've rarely deployed an app where it was as easy as just to change a region variable.

multi az brings multi complexity in terms of data duplication, consistency, if your app wasnt designed to handle those kind of scenarios and experience high users loads then you are in for a lot of problems.

designing for those scenarios increase complexity; cost; architecture style and most of the time it will bring you in microservices territory where most of the companies lack experience and just are following best practices in a field where engineers are expensive and few
I think the debate between "does amazing on metric X" versus "doesn't really understand the problem" reappears many places and doesn't have any direct way to be resolved.

That's more or less because "really understands the problem" generally winds-up being a placeholder for things the system can't. Which isn't to say it's not important. One thing that is often included in "understanding" is the system knowing the limits of its approach - current AI systems have a harder time giving a certainty value than giving a prediction. But you could have a system that satisfied a metric for this and other things would pop up - for example, what kind of certainty or uncertainty are we talking about (crucial for decision making under uncertainty).
Somebody brought out an edition in the 1950s or so, with an introduction and notes by the lexicographer Eric Partridge.
Fun fact, for a lot of providers, it'll hang on any error, not just cloud ones. I presume it's due to the gRPC communication mechanism and the terraform binary blocking until the provider answers "yes or no" to the request

people assume people will be satisfied with any (large) amount of money.

1: money isn't the only form of bribery.

2: people who want more... will always want more and will never stop taking.

3: there is no good way to tell a person from someone who wants to give to help, and someone who wants to give to get something in return.

A more effective if morally dark methodology is publicly and viscously execute people who take bribes in this system.

I have a newsletter making $2k from 20 subscribers.
with much study over time, I have come to see one of the resiliant aspects of Christianity is an eagerness to consume all myth and lore and recast it as some story from the desert lands. There is no Adam and no Old Testament g*d in Tolkien, despite thousands of hours of Sunday school and preachers and AA meetings encouraging us to look more superficially at old stories and just resign ourselves to "yes, actually this is told in the Bible"

Tom Bombadil does not need your story of the Garden of Eden and you are invited to take it elsewhere, today.
>Does that explain it OK?

No. The things you are saying are completely normal and expected, and I cannot see why you would be upset by that if you had been updating a Linux system (or any OS) for the years prior to that. Every OS has changed their UI, some have done it several times. Remember the initial switch to Windows 8, or MacOS X, or from GNOME 1 to GNOME 2? And even before that, how Linux distributions had frequently been switching between window managers or from GNOME to KDE and vice versa? It makes no sense to me to take issue with this one specific case. For a project that is trying to keep attracting new users, it is unreasonable to expect them to never change anything or never refactor the UI.

The real WTF is using something like XFCE and expecting nothing to change for 20 or more years, that is totally out of the ordinary with any comparable retail tech product.
Since this topic is learning how to cook, let me plug my favorite Youtube chef, Alex (FrenchGuyCooking). He has a whole series on mother sauces (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLURsDaOr8hWX1T2WSXhPw...), which is how I learned about them. He does a great job of making deep dives interesting and approachable.

No way! I love the character, and would love to see him adapted. In a way, that he is so low priority kind of underscores what is so great about him.
Interesting IRL case of "not your keys, not your coins"
I energetically disagree about the Food Network, which seems like a lot of long cooking times using a lot of fresh ingredients making insta-ready meals. It's food porn, and 99% of the people watching it never attempt it. The marketing might be about "shortcuts" and "simple ways," but that's to attract viewers who hold on to the hope of seeing a recipe they might actually try.

I'm suggesting (as Parsnip seems to agree) that they target people who want to cook food to eat, not just people who want to cook food to demonstrate. People who get delivery 80% of the time and cook on lazy Sundays and for dates are what most food media appeals to. It'd be easier to learn to cook with unedited video of an operating church kitchen over two days than with 48 hours of Food Network programming.
Good point, thanks for the clarification. Worth noting that the role of arbiter of recessions for NBER only came into being in the 1960s, long after that incident. And 1947 marked the first year the US produced a quarterly GDP report.

> Let's say in the course of a discussion with someone you don't know to be malicious, you feel they are setting up a strawman. Maybe they don't fully understand what you are saying, or maybe they are malicious and arguing in bad faith (or both). How do you determine this? Certainly not by saying "strawman!" at them (to tie this back to the article).

You determine it by probing why the conversation is occurring in the first place. Whether a brusque "Why are we discussing this?" or a politer "My time is a bit short. Can you give me an idea of the goals for this discussion?" Or even "What would it mean for you to have this conversation?"

There's nothing wrong with pointing out that you're not getting much benefit from the discussion.

3-min intro of kinesin, which moves cargo and separates chromosomes in cells
"what sort of pan should you cook eggs in"... "no not a wok, people don't have those at home". Ouch. At best that's incredibly sheltered for a food writer, and at worst it's practically racist.

FALSE. Even the most irrationally minded human being who deliberately tries to intepret things in the worst possible manner would have gotten racism out of a declarative sentence like "most people don't have woks at home", which is likely an accurate assessment given the North American demographic they seem to be targeting.

Blame the OS vendors. There's no money in making an OS secure enough to run arbitrary portable code from a decentralized marketplace in a sandbox. All the money is in monopolizing app distribution, forcing use of their proprietary SDKs and APIs, and deleting any app they feel like "for your protection" (and also some other reasons but don't mind those...).

The margin on bandwidth is enormous. I think Cloudflare did some research into it a while back. But there are rivals providing cheaper S3-compatible storage at scale. Cloudflare's R2 ($15/TB, and no fees for egress). Oracle Cloud Storage ($25/TB, and first 10TB of egress is free). There's Wasabi ($5.99/TB, and no fees for egress or API requests). To name but three. Of course each of those have drawbacks e.g Wasabi is intended for long-term storage, R2 is still in beta etc. But there are options for new data.

We switched to DO Spaces because of the lower bandwidth and storage fees. The savings was actually quite a bit and no noticeable differences for our use case.

Right—I'm for it if we had universal free national IDs and services to ensure everyone had one. It'd actually solve a ton of other problems, too, so yes, please, do that and then check IDs at the polls all you like.

But that's a topic the Democrats are very divided on, and the Republicans really don't want, so it's never gonna happen. The result is that I'm not against IDing voters in principle but am in practice, given the current political situation and lack of demonstrated urgency or need that might justify the down-sides of doing it absent universal national IDs.

With regards to secret voting which scenario do you find more probable?

1) Politicians decide to pull a fast on corrupting interests and start voting in the interests of society instead of focusing primarily on what benefits themselves and special interests.

2) Politicians decide to pull a fast one on society and start defacto selling influence more than ever, given they can simply publicly claim they picked the "right" side of any given bill.
Democracy leading to non-democracy isn't the irony i was talking about.

The irony is in an institution that has enormous power in our system complaining that giving the little people a chance to speak up is somehow undermining the ability of those little people to self-govern.

Edit: In other words, social media may not be perfectly representative of the people's will, but it's almost certainly more so than what comes out of something like the atlantic. On top of that, you could argue that social media diminishes the power of an institution like the atlantic. That is the irony.
Baffling. The bank can't keep your money if they think it's somehow ill-gotten, and the police can. It's a world of difference.
I mostly agree but there isn’t really such a thing as beneficial regulation for tech companies. No rules is always the cheapest and easiest to implement. For example, why would a company even bother with disinformation in the first place if it wasn’t required by the government? You could argue for social reasons or say if you wanted your website to be like Wikipedia, that it serves some purpose, however trying to turn Facebook into Wikipedia seems like a gross misstep.

What a journey down memory lane. I have more than one long-standing client who had substantial investments in data drawn on Mark Cutter's MacDraw program, including some data files going back to 1985 (a year after the Mac release). The collaboration and ease of use between MacDraw and MacPaint files into MacWrite documents is something those clients wish they still had today - current offerings from Microsoft Office, Adobe and Google Drive do not even come close in terms of personal productivity. I remember when the only programs you could get on Mac were MacDraw, MacPaint, MacWrite and Multiplan (Microsoft's take on VisiCalc, to one day become Excel).

Needless to say, many of those documents found their upgrade path into ClarisWorks then AppleWorks. iWorks seemed to be a misadventure, but upon the end of life of AppleWorks, a portion of those drawing files were converted by EazyDraw Retro offered by Dave Mattson and Dekorra Optics and today still breathe life in version 10.7.4 of EazyDraw.

It is sobering and inspiring to see business continuity with data files whose information persists after 37 years following a surprisingly seamless upgrade journey. Kudos to all the programmers and entrepreneurs who made that possible.
> it would be really expensive and low-yield to pull over everyone in the vicinity of a gunshot

Expensive and low-yield for whom? For the officer who's been directed their by the robot, they're incentivized to do so; it makes them look like they're doing their jobs instead of doing nothing. What's built into the system to penalize them for inconveniencing / endangering a bunch of people with nothing to show for it?
This really isn't gatekeeping! But if you're learning to cook there are fundamental things you need to learn. This is like the simplest sentences of learning a new language on Duolingo here, it's not some crazy term. Literally week 1 in many cooking schools, maybe week 2 after stocks. If you're trying to teach people cooking, you want to be taught the fundamental key steps to follow recipes no? How many start with butter, thicken with flour, loosen with milk? That's bechamel :)
