Ridiculous housing appreciation is practically a global phenomena that is due to artificially low interest rates and easy credit driven by many of the central banks around the world. What you describe (housing supply restrictions) is a local phenomena in a few markets like San Francisco and not the primary reason behind the incredible speculative nature of the recent housing market. China has been building in hyper-sonic mode for decades and look at the bubble happening there, for example.

Absolutley no respect for integrity and privacy of a person's body.

I get in the military you have no rights but where is the line drawn? Brain implants? Anal penetration? Tracking chip implants? Tattooed bar codes? Obviously I am picking extremes for effect here but really, is there no line or limit both in military or private sector?

IMO, any sort of mandatory long term biological tracking or modification even for prisoners and soldiers should be off limit.

I don't really buy the whole "it teaches itself to hack itself out" idea. I think a sentient AI would be able to introspect and manipulate its operating environment if it was specifically designed to have that capability. Another scenario might be that somebody installs the sentient AI inside an drone submarine with nuclear armed SLBMs.

You can contrive scenarios where the AI is given capabilities that make it hard to kill. But baring such scenarios, if the program scares you then just SIGKILL it.

Yeah, I saw a lot of bad takes on Twitter related to the "debunking of the serotonin myth" with the insinuation that they'd finally proven that serotonin itself has absolutely no involvement in depression or anxiety, and it was all just a big hoax perpetrated by Big Pharma.

And then you read an article like this:

> The receptor has proven crucial to understanding the neuropharmacology of the psychedelic experience induced by classical hallucinogens. LSD, mescaline, psilocybin—they all interact with 5-HT2A. (In certain circles, the phrase “5-HT2A agonist” has supplanted “psychedelic”...

5-HT2A receptors, of course, bind to serotonin (or at least that's our primitive theory of what's going on).

We've known for 70 years now that monoamines like dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, etc. greatly influence mood. But our model of the brain is primitive, though that doesn't mean our current theories regarding these neurotransmitters like serotonin aren't on the right track.
Well then they have artifacts to prove the designs they came up with, right? Or record of their PR reviews/feedback?

If not, they are coasting and doing very little

Rainforest QA is focused on no-code testing (so either dispatching tests to manual testers in their community, or using their UI to drag & drop tests yourself).

We're focused on code-based tests, which is a lot more flexible in terms of things they can test, and scales better with the complexity of your application and testing needs. (Can have test code that sets up mock data, shortcut parts of your application to speed up tests, work with dynamic data, and be updated alongside your product changes so your tests never break).

We've found that with the advancements in DX for e2e testing libraries today, most developers find it quicker to just write tests themselves in code, rather than having it done in a 3rd-party UI tool. This also gives the bonus that developers are aligned with delivering high quality, well-tested code during their development cycle, as opposed to encouraging a "throw-it-over-the-wall" culture of having someone else test it for them after broken code has landed into the main branch.

Last point, we're not a full testing framework ourselves - we're currently compatible with Cypress, a widely popular e2e testing library, but are definitely keeping an eye on other frameworks such as Playwright as well :)
This is awesome!

The way, imho, is to up-skill the team (which is only possible if it was small unfortunately).
You seem to forget that the CPU and memory system, on which you're executing your immutable data structure implementations, provide a fundamentally mutable interface. So the compiler of your immutable language will still have to insert locks and atomic instructions (although not necessarily the same or at the same places).
It's resource intensive - but so is being in a giant tarpit/morass. Adding client query logging is cheaper and can be distributed. I just double checked, and neither Oracle nor Postgres warn 'never use it in production'

And if you have logs, you can see what actually gets queried, and by whom, and what doesn't get queried, and by whom.

That will also potentially let you start constructing views and moving actual underlying tables out of the way to where you can control them.

Which can let you untangle the giant spaghetti mess you're in.

But then, that's just me having actually done that a few times. You're welcome to complain about how it's actually unsolvable and will never get better, of course.
On the other hand, if your production is already broken, it's much easier and quicker to apply a hotfix in PHP (just edit a file on the server directly) without waiting for the whole CI/CD to finish.
Besides the obvious 2 to 3 transition, cpython has obsoleted or renamed stdlib modules several times between 3.x versions. For example, the collections.abc change causes several common Linux bits to break if you change the system default to 3.8.

So nothing will change then? Instead of 135k people not answering the phone and telling you to go F… yourself you’ll only have 120k people not answering the phone and telling you to go F… yourself. Or maybe Google has amassed so much AI knowledge that all of its employees can be replaced by a single Raspberry Pi that doesn’t answer the phone and responds to all inputs with go F… yourself! A hundred years ago you would have had to pay a million people a penny a week to sit around not answering the phone and telling you to go F… yourself to achieve the same effect. Hard to believe the human race has come so far so little time.

But what’s more amazing is AWS support, because they answer the phone, and they solve your issue, and that’s the trick nobody else seems to be able to master.
Yes. The scale is “units of loss”, which is a strange term, but well founded.

can anyone say a word or two about how RTEMS compairs to FreeRTOS?
Ruby did have such a thing, via mod_passenger, and other options were available for different scripting/programming languages.

Back in the day PHP got big because most of the larger shared-hosting sites provided mod_php out of the box, along with MySQL.

If you wanted to run CGI scripts you were probably capable of doing that, whether in Perl or something else, but most of the other options came later or were unusual.

I know when I tried to setup a few sites a long long time in the past I had to get a VPS of my own, with root, to configure Apache appropriately. None of the shared hosting sites would have run the kind mods I wanted to have.

An experienced human designer, right away, is going to ask how you want the logo to be used. That's going to have a major impact on how it's designed.

So yeah, this may be like working with a doodler, but, as the author intimated, this is far from an ideal experience in getting a professionally designed logo. This is more like "Hey, you, drawing nerd, make this thing."

Nevertheless, astonishing technology in its own right.

Fascinating article and to the heart of my being as a DE engineer. I had the same conclusion a while back and wrote about the trends in data orchestration towards a declarative pipeline, which more modern tools, as you mentioned, will do, but I'm afraid not Airflow.

I'd say data consumers, such as data analysts and business users, care primarily about the production of data assets. On the other hand, data engineers with Airflow focus on modeling the dependencies between tasks (instead of data assets). How how can we reconcile both worlds?

In my latest article, I review Airflow, Prefect, and Dagster and discuss how data orchestration tools introduce data assets as first-class objects. I also cover why a declarative approach with higher-level abstractions helps with faster developer cycles, stability, and a better understanding of what’s going on pre-runtime. I explore five different abstractions (jobs, tasks, resources, triggers, and data products) and see if it all helps to build a Data Mesh. If that sounds interesting, make sure to check out https://airbyte.com/blog/data-orchestration-trends.

You're right. A million shitty logos are created every day, and for the vast majority of them, they will serve their purpose. And contrarily, there will always be a marketplace for companies/entities who want a logo that has purpose, novelty and intelligence behind its design.

> It's resource intensive - but so is being in a giant tarpit/morass.

Agreed, but it means it's not really a viable option for digging yourself out of that hole if you're already in it. Most of the time if you're desperately trying to split up your database it's because you're already hitting performance issues.

> Adding client query logging is cheaper and can be distributed.

Right, but that only works if you've got a good handle on what all your clients are. If you've got a random critical script that you don't know about, client logging isn't going to catch that one's queries.

> But then, that's just me having actually done that a few times. You're welcome to complain about how it's actually unsolvable and will never get better, of course.

I've done it a few times too, it's always been a shitshow. Query logging is a useful tool to have in some cases but it's often not an option, and even when it is not a quick or easy fix. You're far better off not getting into that situation in the first place, by enforcing proper datastore ownership and scalable data models from the start, or at least from well before you start hitting the performance limits of your datastores.

Hahaha, I enjoyed your comment, gave me flashbacks to some of my first FAANG interviews.
Even if you think things will look good in 10 years and want to build a company to succeed at that time, you still need the money NOW if you want to invest in a company now, and the availability of money for investment now is completely dependent on the current financial markets.

In other words, the amount of money available to invest is independent of the fundamentals of what that money is invested in.
