if the billing rate for running something is a delta (like you posted, 0.01/second) of time, then having a timer (or cron, or batch, or kafka, whatever) that records the usage is also atomically deducting it from the account_balance. The account_balance is then topped up with whatever payment schema you want to create. The main issue is that you track the usage as a variable of a constant value to deduct from the account_balance variable of a constant value.

Your design is sound. Multiple rates against a running balance, that running balance's constant value is, well, USD. So the rate of usage is USD. Credits/Debits table is really there for reporting and has no bearing on the running_balance.

Good luck!

Great analogy, too bad it's hyperbolic and doesn't actually say anything about the situations it's supposed to help us think about.

People need to get it through their head that speech is not violence, words are not weapons. Your Exquisite Analogy about how speech laws should Akshually reflect gun laws or martial laws doesn't work, never worked, and never will.

Every single argument against free speech is a general argument against living in any kind of large networked society. Your problem is not the tools the harrasser uses, your problem is the harrasser themself, the tools they use is the same tools used by dissidents and freedom fighters to "harrass" the oppressive governments they are rebelling against.

We went through this entire tiresome arguments before with the debates around cryptography and anonymity, people just keep Missing The Point. Yes, building backdoors into encryption standards and harvesting data without users' permission will allow you to catch The Big Bad Pedos, but it will also allow Putin and Ibn Salman unprecedented power to catch their own type of enemies. "Oh, we just want to do bad things to the bad guys only" no, you can't, believe me, you can't and you won't, every single thing you advocate for can and will be used against you.

They're going for an energy monoculture - it will be more fragile.

Another example, they're putting a large wind farm off the coast of Virginia, which is regularly hit with hurricanes. Many hurricanes go right on past the land without hitting the land, but will probably take out the wind farm. So, in the future, we'll get power outages caused by hurricanes that don't even make landfall, and those outages will mean we won't be able to drive our mandaged EVs around.

Great failure mode.

We essentially experienced two pandemics, one of which was unreason.

Someone else in the thread mentioned how The Good Parts™ idea applies to TS just as much as JS, and I think that's what kinda frustrates me about it. If they'd just kept the damn thing simple, I don't think I'd have a problem with it.
> But does that make one or the other wrong?

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but it makes it wrong for me (and judging by the number of upvotes I got from the original comment, a lot more than just me).

It's not just the code left to an exercise to the reader...it's the training sets. You don't get to trade on the suggestion of "open" while keeping everything closed. They aren't idiots, they knew exactly what they were implying when they picked the name.
I do not get the fascination with AI "art", unless one is programming and tuning the AI themselves to accomplish some expression. Art is about human expression, and I'm not for sure typing words into a text box to get a picture generated from data is much expression.

So from my perspective, I think it's a fad that'll die out or ultimately be abused, just like everything other machine learning toolset out there. But who knows? Humans and fads can remain irrational longer than I can stay solvent.
If you can easily rebuild the project, I wonder what the binary size is if you add this to your top-level Cargo.toml:

[profile.release]
codegen-units = 1
lto = "fat"
opt-level = "z"
panic = "abort"

Take out that last line if you need to recover from panics at runtime. So far, in my limited use of Rust, I haven't had to. Anyway, those are all the easy tweaks to reduce binary size.
Realistically speaking the datacenters / enterprise would have to buy the next best thing in the short term, though you are right in that China (being a planned economy) will take this as economic warfare, designate GPUs as strategic resource and invest in creating domestic production capacity.

If high speed trains are anything to go by (China sends regards to the California High Speed Rail Project) then the US will be left behind by the end of the decade.
as it should. Taiwan should become part of NATO asap just like Finland and Sweden are trying to do.
This is kinda ridiculous in the sense of "we've done something!" I am originally from a country, which made a lot of millionaires during the war in Yugoslavia! It makes sense to ban mass products, but niche GPUs can be imported through other countries!
Or at least, it’s not obvious what electronic devices you actually would need if the supply was going to get cut off for ten years.
The problem with being in the same cell is eventually one wants to smoke and one hates smoke. Everyone should just be in their own cell, and we can do whatever we want. We can still play card game and talk.

China is the only old civilization that still strive today. As a country, they are really big. It takes tremendous amount of leadership to bring China to what it is today.

Yes the memes about China are true, like the Uyghur Muslims treatment, the police state etc. But despite all of these, despite the lack of diversity, despite the lack of Western values, they still made great progress. It shows that a nation doesn't need diversity and multiculturalism to be strong.

I'm fine with diversity and multiculturalism, I just prefer the fenced version of it.

To tell the truth, I am scared of China too (and I am scared of their influence and power over my home country, I currently reside in the US). But I respect their strength.

An addiction (to use the same word GP has used) doesn't have to feel fun to keep engaging in it. It just has to feel rewarding, which in its strictest sense it means your brain saying "I shall have more of this".

Fun and addiction are two separate mechanisms mediated by different neurotransmitters.
Fun story indeed!

I worked in the Cocoa group when we migrated from cvs to git. But it wasn't exactly cvs, it was ocvs, which was an ancient forked version of cvs that handled certain directories (nibs) as tar files.

There was no direct importer from cvs to git, so we had to go through Subversion as an intermediate. This was Cocoa so its history was very long, but the earliest history turned out to be mangled, so some poor fellow was tasked with learning how to repair CVS history, only so it could be migrated to git.

Once we got to git our lives were so much better. I'm glad we skipped svn.

This silly report by a Fox news outlet in Rockford, Illinois is doing mix-n-match on current headlines and wants very badly to own the libs.

Trying to turn this to a positive discussion purpose seems like extra work. Here's a try: where I live at least (LA, serviced by LADWP), we do see intermittent power outages - outages of many minutes happen probably every year where I live.

Because we really do want to get people off burning fossil fuels, we'll need to work on increasing reliability of the power grid.
I don't feel better. What hope is there for me then!? Fuck-em and their stupid snobby jobs anyway.
This is also half the story in some ways. SRV records didn't exist because the DNS didn't exist. Email "was" port 25 because that was the assigned port. It was uplifted into the WKS (well known services) model as IANA port allocations, and then rei-ified by "ask IANA for a port" and low number assignment implicitly meant a service daemon which had to setuid() to the user for specific delivery events (most things were store-and-forward)

Once SRV records were invented, at the cost of 2+ DNS RTT you can ask "hey, where do I talk SMTP to this place" and be told what port to bind to. But lots of stuff was godfathered in, great-grandfathered in. Too many people think SSH is on 22 and don't want to incur the DNS costs.

before this, its 25 for mail. 110 for POP, 123 for NTP for pretty good reasons: we didn't have anything else, except inter-host agreement which ports bound to which service, and the services were almost exclusively launched by root from init process. The trend to dropping effective UID came pretty damn quickly after people realized SMTP as root meant remote actors sending Subject: "|bad stuff; even worse" subject lines to exec() calls which did implicit shell uplift.

(I am eliding this a bit)

I run SSH on a shifted port. If I could convince myself that URLs with :port embedded were "cool" I'd move off 443 and 80.

"Is hate and ridicule expressed publically and unchallenged not just a DDoS against a group of people's right to expression?"

The way I see it, the internet has enabled entirely new categories of negative behavior, using that term as a wide umbrella.

Half the things people say on Twitter, if you'd say them to someone's face in a bar, would make you wake up in the hospital. On the internet though, you can get away with it. Worse, you can organize a large amount of people to target an individual, organization, group of people, etc. This capability is near-impossible in the physical world.

These new ways are seized by hysterical activists on both extreme ends of the political spectrum and over time further normalized into the mainstream. These people feed on polarization and absolutely cannot be trusted to have the power to shut down infrastructure.

I think it's only ridiculous to the recipients of US MSM (which don't get me wrong, is hegemonic, but still insular). There's no confusion to it from the perspective of the RoC government (which claims a much wider legacy of the Qing government than the PRC does), the US government's official stance and 180 of 193 UN member states.
you'd hope people who make these decisions also include some mid and long term thinking. On that time scale any politicization of trade is going to accelerate competitors and incentivize everyone to look towards alternatives. That's basically what's happened in software already.

A major reason the US has had sustained influence in the world without using much force is because it has not weaponized trade. It's the reason for the strength of the dollar, the dominance of US tech and finance, and so on. Throwing that away to merely stagger a country that's destined to catch up eventually doesn't seem wise.
Here's a recent (preprint) study, "Excess mortality in Germany 2020-2022", http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.27319.19365

> The present study estimates the burden of COVID-19 on mortality. The state-of-the-art method of actuarial science is used to estimate the expected number of all-cause deaths in 2020 to 2022, if there had been no pandemic. Then the number of observed all-cause deaths is compared with this expected number of all-cause deaths, yielding the excess mortality in Germany for the pandemic years 2020 to 2022.

> In 2020, the observed number of deaths was close to the expected number with respect to the empirical standard deviation. By contrast, in 2021, the observed number of deaths was two empirical standard deviations above the expected number. The high excess mortality in 2021 was almost entirely due to an increase in deaths in the age groups between 15 and 79 and started to accumulate only from April 2021 onwards. A similar mortality pattern was observed for stillbirths with an increase of about 11 percent in the second quarter of the year 2021.

> Something must have happened in April 2021 that led to a sudden and sustained increase in mortality in the age groups below 80 years, although no such effects on mortality had been observed during the COVID-19 pandemic so far.
"switch" is a misnomer implying that my electric car is due to be delivered on monday with 22,000,000 others. We can actually continue to do what we are doing which is see the curve of adoption move, at the pace of supply chain logistics.

Do we need more? Yes. Is this "switch tomorrow" ? no, it never was. Its a supply chain on lots of things, people included. Even chips. Your car is chip heavy and we don't have chips. Copper isn't the problem right now, or forseeable, at the prices people are prepared to pay for copper and its replacements.

moving from ADSL to fibre? there is a LOT of copper in the Telco plant. A lot. Its valuable. In many economies they pay off local villagers to protect the phone lines for a 5km stretch to prevent predation on the copper. Does this mean we "don't have copper" ? no: it means that existing copper is cheaper than mining copper. This is also why henry moore and barbara hepworth sculptures are moving indoors: Bronze as scrap is valuable to thieves more than its art value.

Half a decade ago at a large energy company, there was a group that had ramped up hiring of a lot of contract developers for full stack greenfield app dev (not Salesforce or SAP, etc). Lots of us employees were pulled into interview candidates that staffing agencies were throwing us. Many turned out great, but 2 in particular were suspected of being different people from the interviewee. There was a month or more since the interviews and the people managing the teams often weren’t the same as the people who had participated in the interviews but after comparing notes, we realized that the people on the phone were certainly more astute than those who had come on-site (this was before video interviews had taken off). All of these teams were using IntelliJ and one of the team leads I managed expressed concern about how he noticed a contractor assigned to his team was using Windows Notepad to write Kotlin for his Spring Boot server controllers. He also heard of some other developers seeing this guy with his laptop on the far side of the large floor quietly talking on a cell phone for an hour or so. I think we let him hang out for almost a week before we told the staffing agency.
Although most "office worker" contracts disallow this, it's not illegal for an American to work two fulltime jobs, and many people do something similar out of necessity.

Perhaps in-person interview requirement would help eliminate such fake candidates?
But I know it's not very practical in the remote work age and maybe it explains why you're seeing drastic increase.

While not as bad as fake candidates, professional interviewers who interview really well but cannot deliver a lick on the job are also very problematic. Once hired someome who sounded perfect for the role (even in person) - relocated him - but months into the job they couldn't deliver.

That said, I just hired someone without meeting them in person (just Zoom call) and they're pretty good thus far! I guess you just have to be lucky.

My favorite tip is "Stop Thinking and Start Looking".

Looking at the error and trying to deduce where the problem can work.

But normally, you need to run the code and observe what happens. When what does happen differs from what should happen, you can zero in on the bug empirically.

This process is typical a binary search, which finishes in a few steps, as opposed to the intellectual riddle solving.
For engineering, screen them with a verbal technical questionaire over zoom with camera before the actual interview. This would replace the "phone screen".
