Very serious, it’s a core component to long covid. It’s a lifetime affliction for the majority who get it (up to 10% of the general population of which less than 50% will go into remission without treatment). People who get it often lose their jobs, their health, and their relationships all while being gaslit by doctors. It is a thoroughly life destroying condition. Suicides are very common. It can be treated but not very effectively for most people. This has been known since the beginning of medicine but the modern (mis)understanding of it is 75 years old (ME/CFS). Before that it was known as neurasthenia and has had lots of names throughout history. Lots of viruses cause it; EBV is the main one. Society will manage ok, people die and others move on, but an already bad problem is going to be made substantially worse, and we’ll all be poorer for it.
Dependence only starts at 10%+ of import shares... Europe is now dependent on Russia and Norway, and slightly dependent on Algeria.

The scary thing is, he's essentially been proven right: China is facing a big issue where the rest of the world has herd immunity, but it's still resorting to draconian lockdowns. Bhattacharya was never a COVID denier, nor antivax, his main point was that isolation should have been targeted at the most vulnerable rather than applied nationwide.

It doesn’t require a conspiracy to think something is majorly wrong with how the last 2.5 years were handled. Everybody played to their incentives and thought they were doing the right thing. The outcome was a complete disaster and a horrific overreaction. But people thought they were doing the right thing.

It’s kind of like a modern engineering failure. It takes multiple failures to bring down complex, redundant systems. That is what happened here.

Aviation has the state imposing licensing requirements, the state certifying which vehicles can take passengers, the state imposing technical requirements like transponders, the state investigating accidents, the state telling pilots when they can take off and land, the state searching passengers' luggage and sending them shuffling through scanners without their shoes, the state establishing no-fly lists, and the state wading into the industry and choosing winners and losers whenever it's geopolically convenient.

If you tell the senate you'd like the tech industry to be regulated no more heavily than the aviation industry we'd be in for a lot more regulation.

Better analogy: suppose you take 10 pieces of A4 paper and scrunch them up into 10 separate balls. Now suppose you scrunch them all up together into one ball. One manifold, taking ten times less space.

In the same way, you don't need to store each pixel of each image separately, or in its own sub-space. Yes? It's really good compression, that's all.

I have doubts about the author's overall point, but something to consider is how does a name help/hinder search? A name that's overly mundane, say, "Go", becomes problematic to google (hence the need to search for "golang" or add other terms).

I feel almost like there's an analogy between choosing names for packages/projects and bird calls. Birds need to make their calls stand out in a given ecosystem. If you have a dozen projects like, say, "object-mapper," "object-db-mapper," "object-mapping", "object-mapper-thingy", "object-mapping-service", "db-object-mapper", it's hard to remember wtf was the one you need. If in such an ecosystem your project was named "Orangutan," it might stand out and be noticed. OTOH, if all projects in a given ecosystem have weird names like "murano", "swift", "glance", "hotdog", "gorilla", "zaqar", "cthulhu", "funky-chicken", "Sauron" or whatever, it may be hard to remember what they all do/mean -- yes, I'm giving you the side eye, openstack. In such a space, "cloud-disk" or something might win, IMHO.

Slightly tangentially related is the use of odd words in log messages to aid searchability. I've been grateful for misspellings in the past, so I could easily grep for some critical log message containing `transation_id` or whatnot. (Good struct logging makes this less necessary, thankfully.)

A few years ago, the last man standing in the punched paper tape business, "westnc.com", finally gave it up. There were still some numerically controlled machine tools running off paper tape. In 2019, NSA punched a crypto key into paper tape for the last time. As far as I can tell, nobody in the US still sells punched paper tape.

Although if you really need it, you could get it made. I restore old Teletype machines, including the kind that printed on 5/16" paper tape. I had a thousand rolls of such tape made up by a company in China, that being the minimum order, and I still sell some now and then to Teletype collectors.

A freemium service can already be built with a payment escrow for anti fraud protection, for willing merchants and customers. Fighting fraud is useful for banks to invest regardless of whether it's UPI or not, I'm not sure if you need separate models for UPI. Request abuse is pretty easy to track i imagine, for any bank or even for npci...and npci has a big profit pool.

Indeed internet shutdowns are a problem but i think the state will have to move out of shutdowns as UPI gets popular. You are right, that is a pain.
> having both of them adds no real world benefits

This depends a great deal on the architecture of your application server and traffic load. There are a lot of reasons that it is nicer to use a queue in front of your load balancer, rather than use queues in your application server, or worse, use the operating system queue.

You must have SSL termination, logging, load balancing, and queuing. You probably want to modify headers and interpret cookies as well.

HAProxy is a queue that feeds into a load balancer. Nginx is a buffer that feeds into a load balancer (IIRC).

One useful property that HAProxy can ensure is no more than 1 request going to a server at a time. I believe (but potentially incorrectly) that nginx will fail requests, rather than "queue" them, if it tries to ensure this property. HAProxy also historically had health checks for backend servers, while for nginx it was a paid premium feature.

I could be wrong about nginx not being able to queue. It has been a while.

For my mental model, nginx is the right choice for SSL termination, logging, request mangling, interpretation of cookies and loadbalancing based on request information (for example choosing haproxy instances based on a domain name). HAProxy is the right tool for queuing and load balancing to servers that will actually fulfill the request.

The point of Deere defending their market would be to make it as expensive as possible for outsiders to take. There's no way they would let a billion-dollar revenue stream go for a few million.

I think wikipedia could be saved by not being it a necessary condition to have a secondary* source. I can't remember the article (or maybe it was more than one), but I distinctly remember having an article cited that used a youtube interview as a source. The article then butchered the quote and extrapolated on the content of the video, and that was cited, despite the fact that you could see the actual content of the video itself!

It varies a lot. When did Medieval Studies, I was told “Never cite, Wikipedia. Don’t even look at it.”

A year later I was studying computer programming and “Wikipedia is an amazing source of information.”

Medieval studies is a field where the general public believes many falsehoods (witch persecutions, etc). Wikipedia reflected that.
The problem with that is for good performance reasons that checksum is typically on smaller blocks than the whole file. For example ZFS splits files into a maximum of “recordsize” (128K) by default and checksums each block.

Not so likely whatever remote target you are looking at has the same blocks and checksum algorithm.

On the upside you can often ask such file systems to take two snapshots and what changed between them. Or to export some kind of differential to transform the original snapshot to the newer snapshot. Both ZFS and Btrfs can do those.
> You need to know when to free memory, so you explicitly need to reason about it, just like in Rust

Obviously! But my point was that that reasoning isn't additive. If an algorithm is complex enough that you have to carefully reason about its object lifetime, then you might have to carefully reason about it even if you're guaranteed to get the lifetime right. Or, rather, sometimes you might, sometimes maybe not, and other times the extra burden of the language is just a chore.

> so Zig actually adds cognitive burden, not removes it

In that regard -- absolutely, in others, it reduces it. Rust's soundness obviously does some good things -- at a price. The question isn't whether those things work, but if they're worth the price. I'm not saying Rust doesn't give me value for my effort; we just don't know if it's more or less than what Zig gives us.

> but on those two specific subjects in is in fact in among the best languages out there.

Except Zig takes that to another level. Rust has some brilliant innovations -- like the borrow checker -- but Zig's entire design is a quite revolutionary, and in multiple ways. That's why I find comparisons between it and C to be so misleading. We've never seen anything like it before.

> So you keep talking about Rust's cost, but the thing is that you can't really pinpoint what types of cost this is about

I don't need to justify why Rust isn't the best approach out there; the onus is on Rust. If we knew which of Rust's approach or Zig's or maybe others altogether worked best, then we wouldn't be trying all of them. We are because we don't know.

But assumptions that soundness was the best approach proved wrong in a surprising ways in the past, and a combination of soundness and unsoundness (those "hand wavy" techniques of testing and reviews) are what proved effective. Bot Zig and Rust believe in such a combination, only in different measures. Perhaps in time we'll find out which works better, but you can't say, "fine, sometimes soundness is better and sometimes it's worse, but my mix is better than yours because it has more soundness."

Now, I'm not trying to convince you, or anyone, that Zig's approach to correctness works better than Rust's; we simply don't know. What I'm trying to get across is why both approaches are novel and interesting enough that we need to try both.

BTW, there's another axis we need to consider. The goal of software correctness from the industry's perspective is not how to write more correct software, but how to write more correct software with the programmers we have. That's why, even though it's possible that the few who can make effective use of Idris might (although maybe not) be able to produce more correct programs than others, few consider Idris as the probably solution to the problem because so few programmers would be able to put it to good use. A language that improves correctness by X around for Y programmers contributes less overall to correctness than a language that improves it by X/2 for 5Y programmers.
