Nor will I. Capitalism must be dismantled because of the horrors it perpetrates on living people today. If you want to defend those atrocities you may, but saying this is the best we can do is a kind of pessimism I don't find in myself.

At the same time I'm not a scholar, historian, economist, politician, or powerful military leader. My capacity to conceive of another future, or author it, is constrained. My ability to condemn evil where I find it is not, however.

You're an Eternal September problem. A discussion starts getting technical, has specific content, & then all the new people come jumping in to the technical thread wanting to get filled in again from the start. The thread devolves into a less & less specific & interesting & unique discussion & turns into rehashing what the basic common knowledge is.

You might not like my phrasing, but asking you what you saw, what possibilities would arise to you is a general & sincere question & you being so mortally offended at being challenged doesn't feel fair either. It would have been interesting to see you either try to guess, or put in 3 minutes of looking around & state more clearly what was unapparent about how these might be related. I was hoping you'd work to carry a little water in the discussion, to help illuminate what your mindset was, after a little trying.

This is a really severe heist, but the latter part of your comment seems rather dramatic. Crypto is still generally not a medium of exchange, and most users are still speculative investors. Most of these investors have a hedge (or are using crypto as their hedge), except for the foolish.
You're paying a premium for flexibility. If you don't need that then there are far cheaper options like some managed hosting from your local datacenter.
monads are a very simple pattern

objects are a very leaky abstraction that usually brings people to build taxonomies, mostly unrelated to the parent.

reuse of code, which is the selling point of OOP,also comes often short with a miriad of very specialized subclasses that have nothing in common anymore.

OOP is not horrible, but it requires a good amount of discipline to get it right, while FP has less concepts and you can (usually) silo the "and now for the tricky bits" (cit. Robert Virding) in a small core.

the rest is simple pure functions that have also the benefit of being stupid trivial to test.

Also, you don't have to be purely functional nowadays, and that helps a lot.

If only I learned FP sooner, my life as a programmer would have been so much better.
Nah, that's the very definition of spam.

What is your reason for believing this? Renewable power is not that expensive. The expensive part is replacing all the power plants the we already paid for.
The ironic thing about Oracle and Larry Ellison in particular, is that they invented both cloud computing and chromebooks back in 1996. They called it Network Computing and Network Computer respectively. Ellison talked about centralizing complexity (what we today call the cloud) and having simple end-user computers that he called network computers (realized today as chromebooks). Back in 1996 this was an outlandish idea.

All this should have given Oracle a tremendous lead. Oracle squandered away that lead, and today they are a nobody in cloud computing. Ellison recently appeared in a joint video with Satya Nadella where they announced a collaboration to make Oracle RDBMS available on Azure.
Totally agree.

I guess I just don't see the value in having a monolith made up of microservices - you might as well just build a monolith if you are going down that route.

And if your application fits the microservices pattern better, then you might as well go down the microservices pattern properly and not give them a big central DB.
That sounds pretty reasonable.
I understand not supporting Linux but they don't even have a web version which is a deal breaker for me.
Interesting, I pulled this from a very recent tweet from a climate scientist. This article delves into it in more detail: https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-will-global-warming-st...

Curious to hear your take on that.
I distinctly recall that claims that this happens we're "debunked" as "fake news" back when it was a more salient topic.
1. timezones are a PITA. Collabroation with Europe/East-Asia is barely manageable from the West Coast. India is the most painful.

2. english language barriers - half the people I have worked with in South America (Colombia, Brazil) and China were so bad with English that it seriously affected the team's productivity.

Canadians fit the bill on both counts - same timezones and language.
As well as "redlining existed in the lifetimes of the student's parent's generation, limiting intergenerational wealth and transfer to a degree that, all else equal, limited the opportunities for that group in many more ways that other groups did not experience."

Be sure to include the outcomes of racially motivated structural policies into your assessment and you will shortly recognize "the soft bigotry of low expectations" is a different metric altogether (one that PG has spoken on, where the average performance in-group is much higher than overall average, indicating you only hire cream of the crop from that group).
I was at Airbnb when we open-sourced Airflow, it was a great solution to the problems we had at the time. It's amazing how many more use cases people have found for it since then. At the time it was pretty focused on solving our problem of orchestrating a largely static DAG of SQL jobs. It could do other stuff even then, but that was mostly what we were using it for. Airflow has become a victim of its success as it's expanded to meet every problem which could ever be considered a data workflow. The flaws and horror stories in the post and comments here definitely resonate with me. Around the time Airflow was opensource I starting working on data-centric approach to workflow management called Pachyderm[0]. By data-centric I mean that it's focused around the data itself, and its storage, versioning, orchestration and lineage. This leads to a system that feels radically different from a job focused system like Airflow. In a data-centric system your spaghetti nest of DAGs is greatly simplified as the data itself is used to describe most of the complexity. The benefit is that data is a lot simpler to reason about, it's not a living thing that needs to run in a certain way, it just exists, and because it's versioned you have strong guarantees about how it can change.

It looks like versions prior to 3.2.5 are affected [1]. If you're using the version of rsync bundled with MacOS, then it's affected.

If you're not connecting to random malicious servers then this might not be a part of your threat model though. As long as your private keys are secure, and you've verified the public keys in your known_hosts file, then this exploit would be hard to take advantage of by a man in the middle attack. Basically, all of the normal security rules of the underlying SSH protocol apply here.

If you prefer those, go for it. I like my infra tech to be about as boring and battle tested as I can get it without big negatives in flexibility.
Agreed. My favorite example of this is domain-driven design. I love the core concepts - get everyone on the same language, make sure the code follows directly from business rules, etc. But you open the book and it's a flurry of absurd terminology that does nothing but obfuscate whatever the author is trying to talk about.

Then that terminology gets tossed around by hardcore adherents, and you end up more confused about software development than before you learned about DDD. It's a shame.

Yeah, on the other hand, I'm pretty sure that I or most silicon valley coders making 250k+ can singlehandedly outperform a dozen "decent developers" by pretty much any metric you can pick.

I'm not saying we're smarter or innately better, but coding is a tradeskill and the masters of the trade are almost all here.

I'm interested to see how much this changes over the next decade, though, since a lot of people have scattered across the globe thanks to remote work finally catching on.
I don't understand why people writing smart contracts don't also write tests.
I'm pretty happy to pay a cloud provider to deal with managing databases and hosts. It doesn't seem to cause me much grief, and maybe I could do it better but my time is worth more than our RDS bill. I can always come back and Do It Myself if I run out of more valuable things to work on.

Similarly, paying for EKS or GKE or the higher-level container offerings seems like a much better place to spend my resources than figuring out how to run infrastructure on bare VMs.

Every time I've seen a normal-sized firm running on VMs, they have one team who is responsible for managing the VMs, and either that team is expecting a Docker image artifact or they're expecting to manage the environment in which the application runs (making sure all of the application dependencies are installed in the environment, etc) which typically implies a lot of coordination between the ops team and the application teams (especially regarding deployment). I've never seen that work as smoothly as deploying to ECS/EKS/whatever and letting the ops team work on automating things at a higher level of abstraction (automatic certificate rotation, automatic DNS, etc).

That said, I've never tried the "one big server" approach, although I wouldn't want to run fewer than 3 replicas, and I would want reproducibility so I know I can stand up the exact same thing if one of the replicas go down as well as for higher-fidelity testing in lower environments. And since we have that kind of reproducibility, there's no significant difference in operational work between running fewer larger servers and more smaller servers.
There are a number of university courses with slides on SIMD basics. I'm not aware of any tutorials with exercises. Given that SIMD and GPU programming can be similar, you can probably repurpose some GPU exercises.

The ISPC compiler[0] generates SIMD code from a C variant. The Godbolt compiler explorer[1] supports ISPC, so you can play with it in your browser. It allows you to see the disassembled compiler output in the web browser.

> they will provoke panic in affected countries, driving fascists into power

I think this is more or less correct but it puts the agency in the wrong place. The migrants don't provoke anything here, they're just doing what seems necessary given their position and constraints.

A more useful view is probably that the fascists provoke panic so that the fascists can seize power. It's not like they spring into existence halfway through this process, they are players from the beginning with the same goals throughout.

I was disappointed to see this on their site. I had a pretty good idea of doing a sort-of online art installation by grabbing crime data near me from local web sources and having images automatically generate of those crimes, but unfortunately many of those crimes seem to be too violent for their filter.

That lowly imperative programming: hard to prove your program is correct.

You can use it according to their license, but is it copyrightable is the question, and precedent so far seems to say no since a human didnt author it.
For some reason, people online seem extremely angry towards attention grabbing titles that are also 100% accurate and descriptive of the article. If you don't go out of your way to pick the most drab title imaginable, you are an evil scammer robbing people of their precious internet bandwidth.

Even the author initially decided not to use "10% of the top million sites are dead" because it seemed "flashy, gimmicky, and potentially clickbait." Well yes, it is flashy, but it is certainly not clickbait. Why on earth do people hate on titles like that, when it accurately describes one of the central findings of the article.

I swear, one day someone is going to find a cure for cancer. They will publish something with the title "I have found a cure for cancer." And the first thing they will hear is some misanthrope complaining about their title being clickbait.
> Those things in the middle do sound risky. But what's the alternative really? What energy do we have that (i) scales, and (ii) comes at will? Right now that's mostly nuclear and fossil.

No. That's just a proper grid with renewables. It works already within the single market of the EU.

> Now there's this thing called "global warming", caused by fossil fuels.

Yeah we've heard of it. Actually the country which is most ridiculed for turning off their nuclear fleet is the only one with an LAW to phase out coal completely. The only reason it took so long is because of the jobs in the industry. Other countries have other reasons. Some are just ideologically retarded. See states in the USA.

Nothing of all that has anything to do with nuclear. Nuclear isn't part of the calculation anymore. If you start building a reactor now in a civilized country where safety rules are relevant, you won't be finished by the time it's too late to save us from the results of global warming.

The topic "nuclear and global warming" is a straw man. It makes no sense at all.

> Nuke plants make more sense in France than they do in other countries.

You did get the news that it's just another year where France needs to turn off their nuclear fleet because their rivers get too hot? How do you even get the idea? I mean France has a huge coast, hills, whatever. There is ample opportunity for renewables. They just messed up their jump on the train tot the future. This is why they need to buy dirty coal power from Germany and the UK these days...again...

eBay is really aggressive with fraud prevention for sellers because there's a bunch of scammers making fake listings trying to make a quick buck and eBay will always reimburse the end customer. I know that if you share any address/payment method/IP address/etc with someone who previously flaked out as a seller, they'll ban your account. It sucks but I don't really know what they could do to improve it.

This is the “works on my machine” of the banking world. Local transfers in the UK work well but if you try to do the same transfer to a non-UK bank account, you will no longer have those same features. This is because each country implements it’s own banking protocols. In crypto, there is a single protocol that all users agree on, and so you can trade ETH, USDC, and other tokens all in the same way regardless of your physical residence.
I appreciate the time people are taking to walk me through this confusion!

> You can certainly formulate the math such that hadrons, or any other particle for that matter, behave like holes in a substrate, indeed this is the basis of quantum field theory.

Okay — I’m with you here.

> But unlike quasiparticles where that substrate is something in the universe like a block of metal, for regular particles the substrate is the universe.

Okay — but so what?

Why is it different that it’s within a metal than the stuff the universe cooled into? In both cases, we’re discussing an emergent object with new quantum numbers in some substrate:

- electron holes are a hole in the fuzz of electrons in metals

- protons are a hole in the background fuzz of quarks and gluons in cold aether

> It is mathematically useful to think of space as being full of virtual particles including quarks, gluons, and electrons, but there isn't actually a quark-gluon "fuzz" permeating the universe.

I’m not sure I follow: proton mass is related to flux tubes suppressing that fuzz in the area of the proton.

Empty space has energy, which manifests as that particle fuzz.

The flip side too is that the power generated by a braking train is more likely to be in the voltage range needed by other trains in the system. It is always better the use electricity locally and in the same voltage rather than convert it to grid power.
That has nothing to do with measuring. That's like asking "how do you measure how much water you have" and you say "I have a lot of experience being in water"

Maybe it will help, but it means little.
You can obviously do soooo much with it, that my mind boggles. As an example of how much more you can do versus some other things, I can only contribute a very boring example (involving no musical universe at all) via "Linux on the Web":

Crypto is not a subversion of central banks and governments. It's just an amusing gimmick that exists at their pleasure, like the state lottery.

> end users always want a way to get money out of crypto and back into fiat currency. And this desire hands governments all the tools they need to starve the crypto ecosystem at will, by cutting off access to inflows and outflows if participants don’t follow the rules. When a reasonably competent and powerful government cares enough about stopping something from happening, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to continue doing business as usual. And this reality continues to take the hand-wavily libertarian crowd of crypto enthusiasts by surprise.

Well you can get a guide (or just an experienced friend) for less than a therapist.

Also, LSD is not lower key than shrooms; maybe you took a smaller dose or personally have a tolerance. But with high doses they can both be very intense.
The promise has always been that electric cars will get cheaper once we're through the early adopters. I'm a little nervous about long-term battery life, but I guess we'll see.
There might be an additional benefit for fossil fuel trains. Point source capture is usually more efficient than direct air capture.

This isn't necessarily directly point source, but if the diesel exhaust is partially directed into the capture train, the CO2 concentration should be higher, and could have a more efficient CO2 capture.
So basically Zombocom?
