MongoDB isn't a general purpose alternative. You're right that there are tradeoffs, but relational databases are the general purpose "good at everything" engines. MongoDB is amazing at some things, but worse at others. Indexes can help, but - as with any index - don't always help. Some performance characteristics are more structural than that, which is why document databases exist.
I wonder whether the UI of many git clients contributes to this. Even if very long messages are allowed, from what I've seen typically the dimensions of the fields are fairly small. This could subtly give the impression that you are being too verbose and not using the tool correctly.

Even for git itself it's funny that the article you linked encourages people to learn to love git CLI, but recommends a third party tool for writing multi line commit messages for ergonomics.

Clearly it's not a massive technical challenge, as the good examples show, but the tooling seems to inadvertently encourage shorter messages.
No, that's super far off astronomically speaking.

> It's a pretty short list of places I'd ever go through some grueling and semi-arbitrary gauntlet to work for, but Jane is on it for sure.

It certainly seems like an interesting place to work, but I find their hiring process as a bit of a red flag. Places that hire like that confuse me, because it seems it's going to apply a very selective filter to applicants that make it through. And I don't meant selective in the sense of technical ability but more emotional, social, and thinking styles. I get incredibly nervous in technical interviews and with a wide background, I don't always know certain bits of computer science. So, I do terrible in these style of interviews, because they do nothing to expose what I do know or how I really think on projects.

As another point of why I don't think they work, they almost are never two-way. And if they were, it would show the pointlessness of them. If I asked interviewers a bunch of questions about things that I know about, then we'd just be trading blows, which is pointless.

You skipped the end of that first sentence:

> Due to the United States’ ability to overwhelm almost any opponent with technology and firepower, the KPA emphasizes asymmetric warfare in conjunction with large numbers of SOF units. [emphasis mine]

Which seems to imply that NK is, indeed, preparing for something more like Vietnam, Afghanistan, or the second Iraq war, or at least whoever prepared this believes they are.
Which countries still have dealerships of the US kind for new cars? I.e the type that keep a stock of new cars with fixed options, or that are allowed to set prices on new cars that don’t match the ones you get quoted from the manufacturer?

In Europe the dealerships, while often operates independently or with only partial ownership from
the brand, seem to be mostly showrooms with no large lot of new cars but a small selection of cars only for show/test.
The purchase is for a custom built car received through the dealer several months later. In my experience a pleasant way of buying a new car. Usually you visit the dealer having configured a car using the manufacturers online tool which gives you the exact quote. At the dealer you might be recommended to swap some option but usually you just talk it through with the salesperson and place the order. With some luck you might be able to score a bit of a rebate or extras e.g if you use their brand financing or insurance, but for the most part they just help you order the car you configure online for the price you saw online.

Where they do fleece you though is “brand service”.

My guess is that it's a very different (and difficult) problem to generalize that way. Interpreting intent and taking action are different aspects. Someone needs to write code to call a vendor's API to execute those actions and that's a super specialized action. Next step is probably instruct a CoPilot-like tool to do it.
This strikes at the heart of the matter - you want the 6 mo or 1 yr "nest egg" so you don't have to wait for the company to tell you it's time to move on - you can jump ship earlier once you start noticing the signs.

Few do, however.

It seems making a Lisp popular is an impossible task.

That said, I'm not sure if the data agrees with you. I think Clojure is more popular and widely used at this time. Not sure, but I think from what I remember of the few rankings, and just the fact I don't know an equivalent success story to NuBank for Elixir, I think maybe Clojure is at the moment more popular in practice.

But with the amazing learning material Elixir is putting out, maybe it won't last.

This is the price Rossmann for example was importing panels in bulk from Asia. Probably something like LP133WP1 (air 13 2010-2017).
FWIW, as much hate as realtors get for their high fees, in theory shenanigans like this are harder to pull off when using them because usually the selling and buying agents share a network and are incentivized to deal with each other somewhat honestly.

Also, because each agent only get a 2.5-3% of the sale, they are not as sensitive to the final selling price as the owner. For example if the house in question was originally offered at $1M, 20% over asking would be $200k. The selling agent would only pocket $5-6k more. Nice to have, but not necessarily enough to risk their reputation.

On the other hand, because OpenDoor is the owner of the property. Negotiating a 20% increase means they pocket the full 20%. So they have a strong incentive to be dishonest here. At the very least, I would expect them to push the law to its limits when trying to negotiate the selling price upwards.

No, they are bad.

They are bad because they are not competent to write the decent code required by their profession and job environment.

In normal software writing trade, such engineers are called low performers and routinely managed out of any organization.

Sure, the mistake is not unusual from the perspective of general software engineering. But let's not forget what software they are working on.

Absolutely and fair point: My story is indeed an anecdote; but it was not strictly meant to address the question of whether Crypto is useful or not in escaping government oversight, but the specific hypothesis in the post I replied to:

"Those who haven't personally experienced #1 (such as world superpowers, the wealthy/"elite") seem not to be able to grasp the benefits. "

As such, I wanted to provide a counter-point/perspective, anecdotal as it may be.
Monads are indeed way simpler. Just a few beautiful laws. The problem is that they take a loooooooooooong time to really internalize. Saying it takes "5 minutes" is empty in the same way that "learn C++ in 24 hours" claims are (or you're hella smart!).

There's a quote that floats around that's like "as soon as you understand monads, you lose the ability to explain monads." It takes a ton of leg work to make them click. They're simpler, but definitely not easy (in the Rich Hickey sense).
If we stopped emmitting CO2 tomorrow, a realistic increase in number of trees (~1 trillion trees) would take about 900 years to return to pre-industrial co2 levels. The more trees you plant, the faster it goes, but even if you cover the entire planet in forest (including places like Antarctica and the Sahara), you're still looking at centuries.

Other organisms can be used as well, but again you need to sequester the carbon.

Bottom Line Up Front: Progressives should rework their messaging so that it does not highlight and reinforce differences.

If you look at Conservative media criticism of Progressives, you'll see a lot of Anti-Wokeness. Progressives need to understand why this criticism is so effective. Pushing the envelope makes people uncomfortable. There is a very powerful emotional drive to return to a comfortable state, especially when we feel like we are attacked.

Examining the media split of the 2010's, several things come to mind:

1. Directed and funded media pushing a conservative agenda.

2. The Tea Party Movement and Trumpism.

3. The end of shame as an effective tool.

To expand on the end of shame - in the past, people were more likely to change their behavior in order to avoid being called out for prejudice or discrimination. This doesn't work anymore. Another place you can see this is in the reaction to public masking requests. Shame did not work to get people to mask.

Shame is very motivating, but the motivation does not always take the direction intended. If another group is willing to offer cover for beliefs or actions, then individuals will be motivated to join that group instead of being shamed. If you can find something for "ashamed" people to be proud of, they will flock to that banner.

This brings us back to messaging. "Make America Great Again" just sounds like a good message, if you can divorce it from the source. People who are tired of being attacked or shamed may find comfort in that slogan. MAGA does not say anything about race or gender, which is part of why Trump found voters (a relatively small part of his voters) from minority races and women. Trump could not say that white men should be proud of being white (just think of the implications), but he could say that Americans should be proud of being Americans.

----

Now. After all of that, you may have some opinions about me, so let me tell you a little about myself.

I believe that structural inequality, including structural racism and structural sexism, is very real and very damaging.

I believe that individuals should practice anti-racism. I think that anti-racism training that intentionally includes shame is NOT effective or good.

I don't have a strong belief that Progressive politicians are trying to shame white men, but I do see a lot of this shaming in less formal settings, and in communications and training material. Some of it may make sense in context, but it is never good.

I do think that it is natural to feel some shame when we reflect on the past. I don't think we have to live with that every day forever. There needs to be a path to resolution.
EU regulation is mainly a means to protect the eu’s internal market. For instance you cant buy vehicles made in america due to prohibitive duties because they dont meet euro requirements. But you can buy highly polluting german vehicles, no problem. Easiest way to restrict goods without explicitly doing so.
Hetzner's PX line offers 64GB ECC RAM, Xeon CPU, dual 1TB NVME for < $100/month. A dedicated 10Gbit b/w link (plus 10Gbit NIC) is then an extra ~$40/month on top (incls. 20TB/month traffic, with overage billed at $1/TB).
I hear you, I think software is different because it has very few physical constraints.

My appetite for food is not infinite, I can only eat so much. Same, but less so, for cars, clothes, etc. in some abstract sense, maybe, there are people that want 100 cars, but not really.

Even with housing, demand is not really infinite. I don’t want to redo my kitchen every year.

But software, every company has a backlog far longer than they will ever be able to do, and the ROI is there for the most part.
You should about market dynamics and pricing power and whatnot. When there is an imbalance between MSRP and what buyers are willing to pay there, provided the latter quantity is sufficiently bigger than the former, then an opportunity arises. Someone along the chain will seek out the potential profit. Tesla has massively raised prices. So what if their public statement is that it is because of inflation? The publicly stated reason matters not. What matters is that they raised their prices in accordance to market forces.

There is a large reseller market for PlayStation 5 because the price Sony sells at is much less than what the market is willing to pay. So scalpers step in seeking the potential profit. There are a number of reasons Sony doesn’t raise MSRP. The main one being goodwill and future buyers. If they raise their prices to $1,0000 the psychological effect will be long term detrimental. So they don’t raise prices. But there is a market for scalpers because of this.

I’ve posted links demonstrating there is a scalper market for some new cars. Indeed, dealerships are often times, in effect, becoming scalpers by raising prices. If all dealerships sold at MSRP this would not benefit consumers in the least. Scalpers would just take over and buying a car from a scalper is a lot worse than buying it, at a premium, from a dealer.

Call it price gouging, scalping, theft or what have you. The words used don’t matter. All that matters is that there is enough potential profit to be had at the imbalance between MSRP and what buyers are willing to pay for cars that someone will be attempting to take that profit. It’s either going to be the manufacturer (Tesla), the dealer, or a third party.

I have decided that all solutions to questions of scale fall into one of two general categories. Either you can spend all your money on computers, or you can spend all your money on C/C++/Rust/Cython/Fortran/whatever developers.

There's one severely under-appreciated factor that favors the first option: computers are commodities that can be acquired very quickly. Almost instantaneously if you're in the cloud. Skilled lower-level programmers are very definitely not commodities, and growing your pool of them can easily take months or years.
For the past 20 to 30 years, the climate science community has been consistently nothing but EXTREMELY conservative in all their predictions in order to not being labeled as alarmist. Newsflash: they were STILL labeled alarmist AND also ignored because whatever happens in 50 years is Someone Else's Problem, can't be bothered to think beyond the next quartal or election cycle. Look! A shiny new thing! Consume! Consume! Now it's becoming clear that almost everything is happening way faster than the conservative models estimated. Humanity just. can't. win. against itself.
Unless you're in a sufficiently carbon dense region (third world maybe) it seems exceptionally optimistic to assume the train will be able to power more than itself in either scenario. Not that it's not a good idea anyway but unless the train can cover itself with spare change leftover you're not going to be powering anything extra without creating waste.
Given the stochastic way it works I wonder how the randomness is seeded for a certain phrase.

De-growth means lowering humanity's total energy output. Lowering our total energy output means lowering humanity's average life expectancy, quality of life, and the size of our overall economic pie. These are all negative side-effects with comparable potential for societal destabilization as the effects of rising sea levels or increasing global temperatures.

There are solutions to climate change that avoid de-growth and its many negative consequences, such as increasing our investment in nuclear energy. Some states already see things this way, such as China, where the government has announced plans to build 150 new reactors by 2050:

There seem to be a few misconceptions or oversights here:

The US military can essentially break almost any government instantly, insurgency is a different beast. That's no mystery.

North Korean ICBMs can theoretically reach America in the same way that I can theoretically walk into the Kremlin and choke Putin to death with my bare hands.

In practice, it's unlikely. There are preventive measures in place.

As for the Taliban getting ahold of an ancient helicopter, I don't think it's a major concern. You may have seen that anything of real value was first destroyed, as is standard practice.

The US is not going to declare an end to hostility with North Korea and has no reason to and many reasons not to.

Is there data supporting the notion that immutable structures are slower?

There are many cases where there won't be a single difference in performance and there are a bunch of cases where immutable structures will be way faster than mutable ones.
The short-term length-of-day chart is very noisy, and has some seasonal components as well. The IERS Bulletin A has a table of DUT1 values for the next year, plus a formula for longer-term projections. (LoD is the rate of change of DUT1.) If you ignore the seasonal components, it is a simple linear formula, multiplying the Julian day number by a LoD factor. Last time I looked this longer-term LoD factor was 320μs short of 24 hours, which suggests the next leap second will be in about 5 years time (2027) and will be a negative leap second.

There was a short period towards the start of this year when it looked like the LoD was increasing, but that was only temporary. The decrease in LoD has been fairly consistent (apart from the occasional pause like earlier this year) for a few years, starting when the LoD was more like 1ms slower than 24h, so it was a while before the wider time-keeping community realised something weird is happening.
