I can't even remember. Certainly, nothing intended to cause offense. And that's where things go off the rails. Intent matters. This is how comedians can get away with saying things that a normal person cannot, because a "performance" puts things in a different context. And this gets to my point: it is easy to take offense at most anything people say, if you twist it out of context and put your own spin on it.

As mentioned in another comment, the "first mover advantage" matters when it comes to these matters. The person that initially frames the issue will be given more credence in most cases, because we as a culture have pretty much taken a shit upon the whole notion of "innocent until proven guilty".
Why would you use a notebook for quick scripts though
If you have microservices that truly need to be separate services and have very little usage, you probably should use things like serverless computing. It scales down to 0 really well.

However, if you have a microservice with very little usage, turning that service into a library is probably a good idea.
Consider the sheer amount of new tech, or more general, of new ideas being shared here and on other places every single day. How is a single person supposed to evaluate all that?

You don't even need to go that broad. I'm working in the cloud infrastructure field (think Kubernetes and such). Just following all developments in that narrow space is such a mind-boggingly huge task that it's physically impossible for a single person to follow all of it (except at extreme surface level). And that's before we consider other areas of tech. Or other areas of interest (politics, science, culture).

To make the task of navigating the world even somewhat tractable, we all have to rely on outside authorities whom we trust for a lot of our information diet. Hence why I am very grateful for known figures like Moxie Marlinspike to examine this topic and provide me with a succinct summary of their impression through writing. That's not to say that I take everything Moxie says as gospel, but I know enough about him to judge which of his statements can be trusted and which need to be taken with a grain of salt.
There are a lot of people who don't understand these problems at all, and therefore distrust crypto. There are also a lot of people who understand these problems very well, and therefore distrust crypto.

In developed nations, populations who are unbanked/underbanked typically have much bigger fish to fry. In developing nations, they typically already have a solution to the banking problem... and also bigger fish to fry.

You'll notice that every article hyping up cryptocurrency as a solution for these things refers to "early adopters". The adopters are no longer early; they're now a perpetually fringe sub-population. (They're also presently experiencing inflation in crypto for the first time.)
Ok, I think I follow. If I might rephrase, you are talking about the difference between philosophical libertarians vs. reflexive "don't tread on me" libertarians, correct?

> The little (l) libertarians in the US are, recently in the age of Trumpism, conservatives embarrassed with the GOP as a conservative party and their support for authoritarianism/traditionalism.

I find it interesting when people associate Trumpism with authoritarianism, when it was the pre-Trump GOP establishment that brought us a great many foreign wars and the Patriot Act.

Trump is a populist, and there's a long history of friendly relations between libertarians and populists (e.g. the Rothbard/Buchanon alliance) though I recognize many libertarians also despise populism. The Mises caucus, which is currently in control of the Libertarian party, follows in the Rothbardian strain.
Just don't make the mistake of studying FP first...

I can't seem to wrap my head around OOP. There's too many concepts in OOP. In FP it's just data and functions for transforming that data.
That's exactly what's described.

Arduino's framework divides main() into two functions:
Setup() and loop(), but they're essentially the same as whatever comes before the while loop, and the while loop itself, in a standard embedded c main function.

Then you just have interrupts setting states, and the loop responds to the change in state.
Being self-taught, once we got internet back in the days I spent a lot of time on IRC for help with programming. As I grew more experienced I spent a lot of time on IRC helping others.

After a decade or so, I formulated a theory based on my myself and those I helped on IRC. It seemed many (most?) programmers starting out followed a similar trajectory where, as they became competent programmers and grew confident in their skills, would latch on to some way as the way.

Then, over time, as they got a lot more experience, they'd realize that often there are many different approaches with different merits and tradeoffs, and not get so dismissive to other approaches.

Could it be your "two kinds" are those that just became good at FP, and those that have been good at it for a while and grown in experience?

Anyway, not saying this is any profound insight, just something that struck me at some point during my journey.

edit: Not all would grow beyond that initial stage. Some plateaued shortly after. But for myself and many of those I followed over time seemed to fit this.
Search no longer. I've used crypto (Bitcoin, specifically) to move money for almost 10 years. When you live in a corrupt third world country with an authoritarian govt, you have a perfect use case.

Note: I don't save in BTC, just use it to get paid from overseas then convert it to local currency.
Again it varies wildly by states; but yes by most measurements the US has some of the best infrastructure in the world

https://www.statista.com/statistics/264753/ranking-of-countr...

Broken down by state is also interesting

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/infrastruct...

Just to put it into perspective -- Illinois gets >60% of it's energy from clean sources (nuclear, solar, wind) - compare to germany (85% fossil fuels). You can travel around the state going 70+mph and hit any major city. You can take public transit from the suburbs of Chicago down town and get around easily. You can also take trains from the southern cities to Chicago in 2-3hrs (I've done this regularly). There are multiple airports, and one of the largest hubs in the world. Some of the tallest buildings in the world, massive bridges all over the place, there's almost never blackouts (very stable energy grid), fiber is available in most places at this point, clean water is abundant, etc, etc.

https://certasun.com/illinois-energy-generation/

That's just Illinois.

Places like Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, etc. you can get 10Gb/s fiber for $70/month; there's massive dams, again very high quality roads interconnecting most towns and cities, air conditioning is available everywhere that wants it, etc.

Yes, the United States is the richest and easily one of the most advanced countries in the world by almost any measure (including infrastructure).
You could of also paid a human to carry your comment all the way over to me so I could read it and reply like I am doing so now.

I disagree - it's very clearly trying to mock the policies that allow this kind of behavior.

For logos you want specifically a design that will work well in black and white, and you want assets that are vector art. At the point that AIs can produce that it's worth revisiting for logos, but I'd bet that's probably more on a "many years from now" schedule.
Creating the vector paths is not the most difficult aspect of creating a logo. Designing it is.
What's the business incentive for a validator to charge that much lower costs? If they know they have the cheapest offering on the market already, it doesn't make business sense to undercut Visa by that much (or, at most, to only undercut them until they've achieved monopoly).

I suspect it will be much, much worse, for USAians anyway. So many companies have now moved almost fully remote and are looking at their payroll thinking - "Why am I paying an American dev $100,000+ when I can pay a European $50,000, or someone from the developing world $25,000?" Great for devs in the rest of the world of course.
I'm going to say that an hour a year is wildly optimistic. But even then, that puts you at 4 nines (99.99%) which is comparatively awful, consider that an old fashioned telephone using technology from the 1970s will achieve on average, 5 9's of reliability, or 5.26 minutes of downtime per year, and that most IT shops operating their own infrastructure contractually expect 5 9's from even fairly average datacenters and transit providers.

Yeah - in the same way the worst US stats are always compared to the best or average EU stats - it's interesting you don't often see the reverse.

Why is no one comparing gay rights in Massachusetts to Hungary? But everyone is comparing gay rights in Mississippi to Norway?

There's a lot of variance in the US and the EU. There's even a lot of variance in a single state like California!

The US - by design - is supposed to be pretty similar to the EU - in that the states have A LOT of rights and autonomy.

Frankly, I'm willing to let Mississippi and Alabama do what they want if that means they don't get to tell New York and California what they can and can't do.

The vast, vast majority of the US does not live in ultra conservative counties. Even within a state like Texas that has some crazy laws, a lot of that is undone in the metros where everyone lives - Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, & El Paso are all decently liberal and make up >50% of Texas's population.

The idea that Texas is "a 3rd world country" is laughable. But you'll hear this from the "left" that wants to take states rights away so they can tell the "right" how to live. They never really think about what it would be like if the "right" got the say to tell them how to live...

Tackle just enough of the tickets to not arouse suspicion. Managers won’t be able to estimate how hard the tickets really were.
You've not really built microservices then in the purest sense though - i.e. all the microservices aren't independently deployable components.

I'm not saying what you are proposing isn't a perfectly valid architectural approach - it's just usually considered an anti-pattern with microservices (because if all the services depend on a single monolith, and a change to a microservice functionality also mandates a change to the shared monolith which then can impact/break the other services, we have lost the 'independence' benefit that microservices supposedly gives us where changes to one microservice does not impact another).

Monoliths can still have layers to support business logic that are seperate to the database anyway.
When I hear stuff like this it just sounds like theological nationalism to me. "For what is a country, without God at its head?"

It's completely deranged to think there is exactly one economic structure that can function. Capitalism won, absolutely, I wouldn't dispute that. But taking its victory as inevitable and permanent is such a failure of imagination.

Like thinking cats are the only viable mammals because lions dominate their ecosystems. There are other ecosystems! Mice still exist. Carnivores are vulnerable to their ecosystems changing and boooooy are the ecosystems changing.
I thought so too buy many abusers will create accounts en masse & add stolen fake credit cards as payment options (or create virtual cards with very small limits? Not sure if services disallow those kinds of options for that reason). People are quite creative.
Are you counting the equity at a large public company to be lottery tickets? Because it's absolutely not. Every quarter a bunch of real money appears in an account with my name on it, that's not a lottery ticket.
In Rust's case it was popular demand. Old Rust used dynamic linking a lot more. But our users demanded static linking (Go's popularity was a big driver of this), so the decision was made to do static linking by default.
This is exactly correct. If you have a microservice running a Rest API, you are probably spending most of your CPU time on HTTP and JSON handling.
I mean there's other options too. Go for example is mostly imperative(?) - it doesn't encourage heavy OOP or pure functional programming. Rust has more functional features but it's still neither purely functional nor heavily OOP. Julia isn't OO at all but it doesn't emphasize FP either.

Those are just three languages that are all (1) modern, (2) generally well received, (3) neither OO nor heavily functional and (4) still very different from each other.

Perhaps.

The whole point of the article is that psychedelics increase neuroplasticity within the brain, and that pharma companies are trying to synthesize a molecule that does exactly that, but without the hallucinations.

If you work in B2B you can put the blame on Amazon and your customers will ask "understandable, take the necessary steps to make sure it doesn't happen again". AWS going down isn't an act of God, it's something you should've planned for, especially if it happened before.
That climate change is a serious problem was established science at the end of the eighties. Had we started to address the problem in earnest back then, it would've been much cheaper to decarbonize. Instead we built bigger cars, dismantled public transport, continued to build houses with poor insulation and stopped building nuclear power plants. That consumed so much of our carbon budget that today, when there are very few technical hurdles left, we ran out of time and costs exploded.
Contracts are invalidated all the time.

If they do that and if they get hold of the individual (or their assets) the court can force compliance in the usual ways.

Disclaimer: I am the founder of PolyScale [1].

We see both use cases: single large database vs multiple small, decoupled. I agree with the sentiment that a large database offer simplicity, until access patterns change.

We focus on distributing database data to the edge using caching. Typically this eliminates read-replicas and a lot of the headache that goes with app logic rewrites or scaling "One Big Database".

> Previous job roles posted by the company suggest that it runs a mixed system infrastructure “based on a modern virtualized data center environment as well as AWS and Azure cloud services” — with the SRE role suggesting that it was building a “future private cloud based on open technologies like OpenStack, Ceph, and KVM.” [1]

Which is great until there's a security vuln in an end-of-life piece of core software (the distro, the kernel, lxc, etc) and you need to upgrade the whole thing, and then it's a 4+ week slog of building a new server, testing the new software, fixing bugs, moving the apps, finding out you missed some stuff and moving that stuff, shutting down the old one. Better to occasionally upgrade/reinstall the whole thing with a script and get used to not making one-off changes on servers.

If I were to buy one big server, it would be as a hypervisor. Run Xen or something and that way I can spin up and down VMs as I choose, LVM+XFS for snapshots, logical disk management, RAID, etc. But at that point you're just becoming a personal cloud provider; might as well buy smaller VMs from the cloud with a savings plan, never have to deal with hardware, make complex changes with a single API call. Resizing an instance is one (maybe two?) API call. Or snapshot, create new instance, delete old instance: 3 API calls. Frickin' magic.

It reminds be a bit of working as a director in a theater. You tell the actors what you want, and it's never just a "line reading". That's sort of the equivalent of just drawing it yourself, because you can't -- not just that you lack the expertise, but that you need them to do their thing with their body, and it has to be done their way or it looks fake.

So you end up using language that's sort of reminiscent of that, creating an emotional picture. It usually takes multiple passes to transfer the whole idea from your head to theirs.

I'm told that animation directors end up doing exactly the same thing. A digital model really can do what human actors can't. You could say "make that eyebrow curve 10% more" to an an animator. But it won't work unless you tell them why and what it means.

Half the world doesn't have pavement... And potholes are almost always created due to extreme weather (very hot -> very cold -> repeat).

My parents recall potholes so bad it'd destroy your car in the 80s. Concrete and the ability to fill potholes have improved over time. There's little reason to assume it's any worse than before, except some roads need replacement... but if you don't replace it (or prior to building the road) it was clearly worse.
Exactly the same experience - coming from school where it's almost all PhD students and postdocs (a few years older than me) the industry where some of my most valuable teammates are the greybeards, it was a bit of a shock - but now I understand how valuable experience really is.
Incidentially you can ask DALL-E 2 for "vector art" and it'll comply, with good enough separation that it can be traced with something like Inkscape into true vectors.

You can also ask for "black and white vector art" to limit the color palette.

I didn't want to go this far into detail because it's embarrassing how much I put up with, but I actually let Google alter the direction of my life.

When I was interviewing, my significant other was looking to go to grad school in either NYC or Cambridge. NYC was her preference, so I told the recruiter I preferred NYC or Boston and I did my on-site in NYC.

After all my interviews, the recruiter told me that the NYC office was doing "renovations", and so some teams were holding off hiring until they had the physical space (in retrospect this excuse makes no sense). He asked if I was still open to Boston and I said yes. But at this point, my SO had to accept one of her grad school offers, and based solely on the fact that I thought I would have a Google job lined up in Cambridge, she committed to the Cambridge school.

At one point during the pointless team match process (after we were committed to Cambridge and after I had several unfruitful Cambridge team match calls), my recruiter actually asked me if I wanted to go back to looking for NYC teams. I couldn't believe it- what a slap in the face! (I had told him our priorities and timeline)

We live in Boston right now, 4 years later, solely because I thought Google would have a role for me here after having passed 9 interviews. Thankfully, everything worked out. I found a different job, my SO got a great degree and is using it here in Boston, etc. Of course I'm the lone idiot in this story, but it's incredible how flexible I was just because I thought big G was making my dreams come true.
