So in the acoup essay actually referenced by NavalGazing

>>>That thinking actually took a while to take hold in actual American policy and instead during the 1940s and 1950s, the United States focused resources on bomber fleets with the assumption that they would match Soviet superiority in conventional arms in Europe with American nuclear superiority

So in my simplified view, while RAND corporation had "nuclear stalemate / MAD" as a concept in 48, this did not take root in American foreign policy till the 60s and Kennedy - so the oft cited battles between Kennedy and Curtis Le May where (probably personal as well) but a chnage in policy based on a new understanding of nuclear realities - that they could not use nukes to wipe out the Russian Tank invasion because that just immediately starts a nuclear war.

And this links to development of missile technology - as long and medium range unstoppable ballistic missiles came into being the idea of limiting a nuclear war to Europe or having "acceptable losses" stopped becoming doctrine and was finally overturned by Kennedy and subsequent presidents - so it is possible for eisenhower and kennedy to have the sensible response in the respective periods

(NB there is footage of Kennedy and eisenthower on a phone call discussing actions during Cuba - and it's just ... normal confused uncertain human beings. It's the best explanation of why we should not have one person making these sort of decisions - no human is up to it.

So from a point of view, Kennedy did have a weaker hand because he had a weaker conventional force (in Europe).

Whatever settings I've done, there's one button to make it appear/disappear, and it's very quick. I don't do mine fullscreen though, I prefer just a corner. It stays whatever size I tell it to, I'd assume that can be most of the screen. Also I've turned on "focus mode", which gets rid of the huge titlebar. I use tmux inside of it so I don't need its tab bar or anything either.
It took Tesla 14 years to build their first 3 million vehicles. By year end, it will take them 1.5 years to build the same amount. Assume their growth rate continues (50-100% YoY), they could (if they so desired and the market demanded the unite) consume total US vehicle sales (17M/year) in ~5-15 years.

Is consuming total US TAM going to happen? Unlikely, but the broad strokes of the transition are apparent; you could even stick this in Excel to reasonably extrapolate. Importantly, EVs don’t need to replace every combustion vehicle, only enough so that petroleum supply infra is no longer economically sustainable. At that point, existing fossil vehicles become stranded and only good for salvage.
If you switch to renewables, you need to store energy.
Speaking from experience, the promise of completing tests in 1 minute or less is very appealing. This is one thing I don't want to compromise.

In the case of the two companies that are helping me to test this service, they both pay a fixed fee of USD 2000 for an agreed maximum parallelization of 50 browsers. This means that up to 50 concurrent tests, I can still deliver the promise of 1 minute tests.

For context, BrowserStack, which they used before, is charging USD 999 for 5 parallel browsers. I believe BrowserStack has this pricing model because they assume long running tests. It is a lot harder to share VMs if tests take 10-15 minutes than if they take 1 minute.

I could have pricing as USD 999 for 50 browser parallelization, and then charge extra if either of their tests take longer than 1 minute to execute. This model would ensure that we don't have one client hogging all of the resources.
You take a source that only indicates about 750,000 of 2M detained people have been convicted of violent crime, then toss in property crime because you think that’s equally justified too, then volunteer an unsubstantiated dismissal of the remainder as “plead down”.

I mean, it’s cool that you included a foot note and a link here, since it makes it looks like you cited something, but the substance of your comment isn’t really informed by it, so
it feels a little disingenuous.

With the right (lack of) attention, cast iron can evolve to rust. After enough time, you'll never cook with it and have things stick (you'll also simply never cook with it).
When I was in my 20s, I would learn something about everything. Now at 30 I can learn everything about something.

I think the easiest way to learn new things are two simple steps:

1. Always be reading.
2. Teach yourself how to learn

There’s many great books on the latter topic. Once you get the basics and understand the different modes of your brain and the importance of rest, anything is possible.
As you say, I was specifically comparing to high-level memory-safe languages, not C++. You can't get a dangling reference in Java or C#. Not only that, but you can't get into a situation where some reference points to one object at some point of time, and to another object at a different time - but you can with indices.

The reason why I describe it as "turning off the borrow checker" is because that's exactly what it is - those indices are pointers semantically, but there's no ownership tracking for them. So for them, you turned off the checker. The more you use them, the less checked your code is. If you use this approach in some isolated piece of code, it's one thing. But if it's the go-to solution, then it's reasonable to wonder why you'd do that instead of using a language that has built-in ergonomic safe references with no borrow checking.

Unpopular opinion perhaps, but maybe you can't do it all? If you're working full-time and have any sort of family or personal life you can't do anything that's truly a start-up. This is OK. You can have a fun side project, you can even make money at it, but it ain't a start-up.

I think the latter point hits the nail right on the head: the preference for python is probably more of a social issue than a technical one at this particular point in History.

I think when FP languages and paradigms become the norm (you can quote me on this, I predict that it's only a matter of time), preferences will change. People tend to prefer what they know, and it will take some time for culture to change.

I think both `erg` and statically typed Python are both attempts at doing exactly that.

May be what you mean is a static typing solution for Python whose syntax is a superset of Python syntax (which I don't think `erg` is), but isn't identical to Python's syntax( ie, it is a strict superset, which statically typed Python's syntax isn't). Typescript is exactly that for JS.

In that case, I agree with you that such an attempt would indeed be very interesting because it would allow for more aggressive exploration of ergonomic typing constructs while maintaining that any valid Python would be valid in that new language as well (just like TS).
Just to clarify, 30 second limitation is only in the context of 1 minute test-result guarantee. Tests can technically run indefinitely, though I want to design the business model in such a way that discourages the long individual tests, as it aligns the incentives of platform and the client.

The latter is important because if a VPE signs a contract for $3k/mo, he/she doesn't want to sit there worrying that devs run a couple extra tests or add a few tests, etc, and boom: all of a sudden the VPE is going to the cfo to explain $10k in overage charges.

Counterpoint: I have personally seen companies of the size OP is talking about run into unexpected big jumps in spending on key infrastructure and tooling because they made some architectural change and then suddenly realised it was going to run the tests 10x as often or something. Without exception the response has been twofold. First they did take the immediate financial hit because they couldn't afford to be without a critical system. Second they diverted significant resources to getting the usage levels back under control very quickly so they didn't have to rework that critical infrastructure as well.

If anything, since bringing the costs of some important infrastructure down is exactly the problem OP's tool is solving and its value is directly demonstrable in terms of time and therefore money saved, your general argument should be a positive sign for OP that they probably have a viable business model.

I could buy an argument that tiered pricing might work better for OP than metered if someone showed up with data supporting the theory. But metered pricing seems to be working out pretty well for a lot of popular cloud-hosted dev tools and of course is almost universal among cloud infrastructure providers. People complain a lot about AWS having unpredictable pricing but I heard AWS has still had some success breaking into the cloud hosting market and probably it's making enough money that Amazon might keep it running. To be fair that's partly because although AWS lacks safeguards that would certainly be welcomed by many it does also have a reputation for being very decent about support in the occasional "Oh s@£t" scenarios.
Well, ok. If direct evidence is what you want, cosmology is generally lacking in that. We're here, now, and nothing is going to change that.
Economists might favour something like a progressive tax on untested chemicals in consumer products. The less safety testing you do, the more expensive they will be to use.

Because you put your finger on the sociological problem at hand here. It's just cheaper to do the wrong thing right now. I always think that capitalism has this evolutionary nature where inevitably the biggest coroporations will be the ones that are maximally unethical within(or just enough outside that lawyers can handle it) the confines of the law. And you don't have to look far to find evidence of that. I think regulations need to be designed more with this evolutionary model in mind. It seems lost on most politicians currently.

„ Client-server model is a distributed application structure …“

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client–server_model
It is very good comparison, I've recently switched to Zig from rust so I can answer some questions if you're curious.

Regarding comptime, it's not just that you basically have proc-macros available everywhere and you just need to use one keyword. It's rather a combination of comptime, duck-typing (comptime functions often take any type/struct/tagged-union), lazy-evaluation (only used functions are type-checked) and memoization (comptime is guaranteed to point to the same memory so you can easily do string interning for example).

That together with introspection and ability to unroll loops in comptime make it very easy to do any kind of meta-programming. You can also throw compile time errors and do various assertions yourself, so while it's true that Zig by default is not as memory-safe as Rust, it is also true that it's very easy to add custom checks which you couldn't do in rust. Or it wouldn't be so easy so you wouldn't do it.

Also pointers are not so scary in Zig, especially if you know that certain things live only until end of frame for example and then you can scrap everything. This is also possible in rust but people don't do that so much.

But to be honest, I think I've learned a lot about safety in Rust and it definitely made me better programmer, I just don't want to do it anymore :)
Yeah aluminum is still great, it's actually a lot better than cast iron for heat distribution. Thick aluminum stuff in particular is amazing in my experience. I have an anodized aluminum sauce pan that is a perfect rice cooking pot--it heats up and boils water super fast, retains heat well, and nonstick interior is great for rice. Still looks as nice and clean as the day I bought it 15 years ago too.
Sometimes it's readily apparent that an author is getting paid by the word.
I have a hunch that a lot of Python users didn't carefully evaluate the language on its merits, but rather, just started using it. In my own case, I was using Visual Basic 6 before Python, and mostly Turbo Pascal before that. A huge attraction of Python was the libraries -- scipy, matplotlib, etc. In fact when a lot of people say they're using "Python," they're actually referring to Python plus a large collection of libraries that came from somewhere.

It's the community. Network effect looms large.

While typing is dynamic, I rarely see this being used, perhaps with the exception of identifying empty variables with None. Most identifiers are born and die the same type. It would be interesting to see how much effect dynamic typing has on the rate of programming errors.

Also, for me, Jupyter is huge.

Again, "commonplace" is kinda misused here. You can find examples of cruelty in the historical record, not so many of the opposite. Because no one kept statistics.

Porous ceramics can easily breed bacteria, good and bad. And glazes on ceramics can contain all kinds of delightful compounds that can leach out. You certainly don’t want to eat or breathe unfired glaze.

As for ceramic nonstick cookware, I’m not convinced that such a thing exists. I think that “ceramic” coatings are actually sol-gel, and I can’t find a straight answer as to what is in them. They do advertise that they are fluoropolymer-free, and they seem to be stable to rather higher temperatures than PTFE.

नमस्कार। To give the benefit of the doubt - in the UK (and perhaps elsewhere) India is practically never considered 'Asian' in common parlance. As if 'the Indian subcontinent' (as is said) were actually a continent almost, subordinate to nothing.

I am curious now though - obviously spoons have been around 'forever' but as eating utensils do they predate British/Portugese colonialism do you know? I understand today spoon/bread/hand is dish, region, and perhaps to some extent class/personal preference dependent, but has it 'always' been so?

(I'm honestly not doing a 'be thankful we brought you spoons' bit here.. I hope it doesn't come across that way. Just genuinely curious as a हिंदी और भारतीय खाने का विद्यार्थी (student of Hindi and Indian food).)

> However, I suspect you’re massively overestimating the way that test times are a blocker for most engineer workflows. Even with long text suites, we don’t just sit and stare at the monitor while we wait. That’s time for responding to communications, checking other things, taking a short break and so on. You could have a hard time selling engineers on the idea that they can do more work and take fewer breaks while paying for the privilege.

Speaking from experience, my productivity is down by like 80% if I know that there is a test I am waiting to complete. I can do other things, but I will constantly switch back and forth to check on the progress. I know from talking with other engineers that they feel similar, esp. when flakky tests are involved.

However, I get what you are staying. I will think how to position this in a more compelling way that cannot be easily challenged.

MVC originated in desktop GUIs, originally for Smalltalk. Java Swing was, I believe, the first mainstream GUI framework which used it thoroughly. Most GUI frameworks since then are also MVC (or some derivative thereof, like MVVM in .NET). This is just a way of organizing code and has little to do with presence of absence of event handlers, or the web.

Speaking from experience, the promise of completing tests in 1 minute or less is very appealing.

Indeed. There is a qualitative difference between tests completing fast enough that a dev is OK with just waiting a few seconds for the results and tests becoming a "go do something else for a while" background activity. There is also a qualitative difference between tests running fast enough that if something does go wrong the code can often be backed out before it interferes with anyone else and tests that run slowly enough that the CI system can't keep up with merges from the team and changes start piling up that then need sorting out somehow every time a set of tests does fail.
