De-carbonizing is also not going to save us. It is merely a mental panacea to keep the masses from panicking more. The carbon that was pumped into the atmosphere before our grandparents were born already guarantees climate change. We delude ourselves by thinking we can stop it in the next century with any action we take now. Not poisoning ourselves is a good idea and all, but it isn't going to stop the climate change that is already triggered.

I wasn't being condescending, and I am objectively not 'wrong'. I merely urged you to gather information you may not be familiar with. Particularly IMECs roadmap.

I will point out that you instantly went into condescending mode after complaining about my imagined condescension. I assure you, I'm well aware of what a process node implies about measurement of larger features. I'm also aware of the promising approaches coming down the pike.

I'm _also_ aware of the decades-old Internet tradition of people posting about the hard physical limits and immediate death of Moore's law, even as the limits are overcome year after year.

I am glad that you have a handle on the problems we face here, but please try to keep in mind that these challenges are a beginning, not an end.
I'm sure you have heard about these technical problems Russia is having with the terminal on their side, the technical problems they claim are behind the reason the gas is turned off? Well it's not really technical problems, it's "technical problems" because otherwise the shut off would have been contact violations. This is no different, now they can keep the gas off without violating international trade law.

> client for progressive enhancement which is what your Go pitch does not do.

We have progressive enhancement in our Go app based on HTMX.

Also see Rails/Turbo and Pheonix/Elixir.

Also, before the era of JS devs who only know the hammer of React and React-inspired HTML rendering libraries, there was PJAX to do progressive enhancement. It's not that hard of a problem to motivate reinventing the wheel HTML rendering wheel with yet-another-JavaScript-framework. In that light, it's probably better to just stick to React which provides a superset of functionality and is battle-tested, but I digress. Most of the original complexity of PJAX was smoothing out browser inconsistencies. It's way easier to add progressive enhancement with standardized HTML5 libraries.

https://pjax.herokuapp.com/

Observe how this JS library's source repo doesn't have a package.json and the vendor directory is rather shallow. The first commit was before Node.js even existed.

As for HTMX, it's a JavaScript library. It's 10kB with zero dependencies, and you can just drop-it in with a script tag.
I never criticized JS or a particular JS library. My original comment is about the dependency hell (and quality) of Node packages.

> framework that lets you write JS functions

Why is it important to have a framework and to write it is as JS function? That's an incidental detail if the goal is to compose HTML.

> rambling about your favorite language.

No, JavaScript is my favorite language. I just don't like NPM culture. We chose Go because it made sense for our use-case, as opposed to Node.js being an automatic default just because it's a frontend hammer.
Yea, people are nuts with some of that stuff.

You're muddling comments made about Nord Stream 2 with Nord Stream 1. Nord Stream 2 is done for good. Europe can't buy gas through a sanctioned pipe.

You're getting pushback for repeatedly taking Biden's comments about sanctioning Nord Stream 2 to represent incompetently bombing Nord Stream 1. (Also, for claiming we have anything resembling facts with respect to attribution.)
I started a Youtube channel about Dynamic Programming. This was out of frustration of doing nothing during the COVID isolation.

To my surprise, I reached 1,000 subscribers relatively quickly. I posted my first video on Apr 14, 2020. By Jul 13, 2020 the channel had 1k+ subscribers. So, it took 3 months.

The videos have extremely good (IMHO) like/dislike ratio. I somewhat proud of it :)

I've never had monetization enabled, so never made a cent out of this journey. On the other hand, it was crazy fulfilling.

Since I joined AWS, I barely have time to reply to comments, let alone publish new videos. Wish I had more time...

I stopped releasing new videos on Feb 8, 2021. By that time I had 4k subscribers. It's passively grown to 4.5k since then.

If anyone is interested, here is the channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClnwNEngsXoIp_tgJ2jZWfw
That's an awesome amount of interviews. Is there any sort of experience/book/theory you think a CTO should have to excel at the job (besides the technical and hr skills)? One thing I think I'm struggling with is competing for financial resources with the CEO. It's hard to convince the team we are desperately underfunded when on the surface it looks like we're doing fine. I always assumed that since I'm a positive can do person that when I indicate something negative it'll be taken seriously, but that's not how it works unfortunately.

Like the sibling poster said this is probably a cost cutting measure. However, I really hate the dichotomy of “special ed” vs “gifted/advanced” that permeates education. Every student has special educational needs, and by that I mean not just academics. I excelled in school with no real effort and never got the support I needed in other areas because, clearly, I was doing great. I now have a 2e kid that goes to a Waldorf type school and gets like zero academic assistance (not really needed) but a ton of social/emotional support he needs. Eventually he’ll be in some more mainstream school where he can take advanced courses. I have a girl with ADHD and an 88 IQ - she just squirrels out as soon as she sees a problem that she cannot answer without some thought. She is sharp as a tack and does well in school because she has had to learn good study habits, but her support comes in the form of special ed to help give her a distraction-free environment in which to study.

I do think there is a push not to equalize everyone but to actually address individual needs, and those may draw resources from areas like advanced courses. Boredom in school for bright kids can definitely be a problem but I’m not sure it’s the end of the world. The kids who want to excel generally will, and can often just be advanced a grade or two. The rigid structure of class groupings by age is anachronistic and maybe like 50% appropriate. There are better ways to structure education.

I love the product! There are a lot of people that are too shy to talk to others while learning a new language. This seems like a good way to start talking in a "secure" environment.

Also, you should add english language! It is being learned by 1 billion people as a second language and probably it would be a lot easier to make a great model in english.

If I were you, I would nail english language first and after that focus on adding more languages.

Anyway, great product!!!

Socialism provides a safety net at the bottom end of the social achievement scale so that you don't end up with large homeless populations living under bridges.

The notion that socialism cuts off the heads of over-achievers to enforce a dull sameness on society is basically a straw man argument that doesn't correlate at all with how socialist governance works in practice. Some will point to higher taxes on billionaires as a counterexample, but it's equally clear that the wealthiest rely heavily on things like roads, ports, etc. (to get goods from one place to another), and since without that infrastructure they'd have little opportunity to accumulate wealth, higher taxes on that wealth are appropriate.
I am a bit conflicted here.
On the one hand I hate VK because it has censorship, they provide tools to police to monitor conversations and crack down on people.

On the other, now that Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are banned it leaves even less means of communication and spreading information inside Russia, as bad as VK was.

If only it was kicked out before Russia banned Facebook (it allowed hatespeach towards Russians) people might have migrated to Facebook or something, now there's going to be a void.

Well, VK Web version is just as functional as the app, so maybe not such a big hit.

Also, in Russia most people use Android, so Google Play ban would be more effective.

Europe needs the gas. Not enough LNG stations to import this amount. Also prices are absurdly high.

Saying Europe doesn't need Russian gas sounds almost like propoganda.
Doh. Yeah that's way out-of-date, I'll get it fixed.

No. Ableism (not sure why the quotes, comes off as a little sarcastic) is expecting and demeaning individuals--either purposefully or implicitly due to environmental design--for not achieving some arbitrary standard of “normal”. No one advocating for better treatment of people is suggesting a Bergeron-esque reality where those who are performing must be handicapped for equality. It is more about making social systems and attitudes welcoming for those who were traditionally seen as worthless (especially in a system that valued productive work above the health of the individual). Making room for others doesn't mean dragging others down, you know?
Good luck fixing that bug you don't have as much context on as an engineer who is familiar with that part of the code, while mentally preparing for the investor presentation on the same day.

Having seen dozens of code bases, products, and failed startups, the number one trait a good VPE or CTO should have is to vehemently prevent over engineering and accidental complexity - via coaching the tech leads, doing design reviews as needed, and making decisions and tradeoffs.

She should have strong opinions on how code should be organized for simplicity, but she should not code. If she can enforce good naming conventions and APIs, she is gold.
The problem isn't about where data is shared or is leaked. The problem is if it is perceived to be, and if those who perceive it so are influenced by the perception.

I don't see a mention that today is the day Poland officially opens up its pipeline to Denmark and Norway. The pipeline Russia (and to a much lesser extent Germany) put a lot of resources trying to jeopardize.

Some of the things those two countries did include: Financing of various "grassroots ecology groups" that managed to find an extremely important field mouse (no joke!) habitat on the planned route which caused many months of delays in Denmark. Constant media pressure and a smear campaign of lies against PL in Europe and elsewhere. And many more including those we don't know about. No one is surprised at all that they would blow up their own pipeline to gain various PR points in sympathetic media.
This is great. The Cloudflare model for Workers really deserves to become a de facto standard that can be pulled off the shelf for open source serverless functions. Really excited they’re opening this up this way. It seems like a great positive sum move.

I would use PAR2 for this. It's not the most integrated approach to dealing with bitrot like ZFS, but it feels much more composable - very Unix-like in a sense. PAR2 has one job (protect against bitrot with sidecar parity files) and does it well, and so does ext4 (store files without losing everything).

I certainly wouldn't use btrfs. It ate my data at one point, and misbehaves without any provocation. I don't trust it, and am quite vocal about that whenever it's mentioned.

Fully and rapidly reusable rockets, like Starship, if achievable, will change everything. I don’t think peopel comprehend how the economics of launch will change.

Satellite breaks down or runs out of propellant? Send up a repair/refuel/reentry vehicle.

Astronomers upset about light pollution? Launch a space telescope for them for free, and eliminate that pesky atmosphere for them too.
Even the German government might have done it in a "burn the boats" strategy.

I don't think Russia had interests in doing it, unless it is for some internal power play.

edit: or plausible denial when they won't send gas to Europe this winter. But do they even need the deniability at this point?
Which region is India invading?
EU/Germany is already at that point because Russia openly stopped honoring the existing contracts and ceased deliveries months ago. So even this constructed incentive does not exist.
Honestly, I think human brains are just wired such that things without constraints or scarcity just aren't that interesting to us.

I think if you want to successfully launch a VR world, artificial scarcity is necessary in order to create interesting interactions within your world. The real threat to your platform is actually likely the inevitable money-motivated removal of those scarcity limitations. ("Oh look we found more widgets, you can buy them from us for x$")

It could have been done by Russia, to raise energy prices even more and cripple EU so it cannot support Ukraine as much.
> Russia wants the taps ON, not off. This hurts their bargaining position in a big way because they've just lost their biggest source of leverage against Germany.

No, it's the other way around. It signals that Russia is burning bridges, and makes it nuclear threat seem much more real.
Yep, PCI pass-through is 100% something you can't do with Firecracker. To me, that's a perfect example of a feature that's not really there to support cloud-style serverside workloads, but that might just be my bias.
> Plus, conservation of energy doesn’t apply to the universe as a whole, if it’s expanding (space has energy.)

I don’t believe that, but we either may never be able to prove it, or discover we live in a bubble of space where physics has different properties. We don’t know where the space is “coming from”. It’s the same problem laypeople have with the Big Bang Theory. Well where did the Bang come from? What happened before? There is no Before. The Bang and Time were born together.

We may well find that we live inside a black hole. The space inside a black hole grows. One theory says that infinite curvature means it grows at the speed of light. If we live in a black hole then perhaps the energy to create the additional space is coming from outside, our “experiments” are not within a closed system, and look like Free Energy but are not.

Or maybe we live in a physics bubble where different rules apply. Which might solve the whole, “how will we ever explore this Universe in time?” ‘dilemma’ because any ship we send outside that bubble starts to disassemble itself. The floor is lava.

> icloud data isn't end-to-end encrypted, so there are undoubtedly some employees who can view icloud data.

This is more FUD; it doesn't need to be e2e encrypted to prevent an Apple employee (who isn't breaking a litany of laws and/or company policies) from viewing iCloud data.

I'm... just tired of baseless accusations like this, so casually thrown around. I've worked in this industry for 15 years, and when something like this is specifically possible, we say so because we have specific knowledge about how it would actually happen, not general "Yeah sure probably."

We have to do better, because if we don't, we sound like chicken littles and people just ignore us.
Vitess is by far the biggest I've seen in practice.

Sharding is at the root of storage management, which let's users design a strategy that fits their storage and request benchmarks. The biggest difference that I've seen is that you no longer get to use many of the MySQL operations and functions that you may be used to like relationships. It's analogous to the best and slightly painful parts of MySQL and NoSQL. Things like relationships get relegated to the application.
Apple isn't claiming fraud. They are very carefully only claiming that the user violated the user agreement in an unspecified way. Your comment demonstrates why they won't make any stronger claim.
Doesn't pass the smell test (also we're talking about the entire EU having issues not just Germany).

Gigantic risk for the US and would eventually be found out which would destroy any semblance of relations with the EU and significantly strengthen Russia's hand.
US companies (and others) are going to sell LNG to Europe for huge profits anyway.
These pipelines weren't deliving gas anyway
The US would prefer energy markets to be stable and not have sky-high prices
Russia's invasion of Ukraine was one of the greatest foreign policy gifts in United States history and it significantly strengthened US alliances across the globe and put the entire west in lockstep with each other with regards to Russia and China. Placing that gift at risk is beyond foolish.
Good article but it glosses over other factors.. like the piano mostly losing it's popularity as an instrument in the 20th century. Guitars really rose to prominence in the mid 20th century.

And then there is the general demise of playing instruments (including guitar) or performing music at all. Fewer people even sing today, and singing has the lowest barrier to entry of anything.

And then there is the rise of electronic music.

Really I think anything to do with manufacturing difficulty or things being too expensive is completely a side show compared to the general loss of popularity of piano and instruments in general.

I took 3-4 years of piano but then eventually switched to guitar. At one point I rented an acoustic but I was generally stuck with digital. My digital piano was more expensive than any guitar I've owned, but it still felt like an artificial instrument compared to the acoustic piano whereas all the guitars feel like the real thing. Could just be me though, my learning curve was much steeper on guitar but in the end I took to it more and enjoy it more. But the entry point for very high quality instruments being so much less expensive and the easy maintenance of a guitar versus a piano and the portability difference was obviously a significant thing. There's still a ridiculous amount of nuance and connection with any analog instrument. Acoustic pianos and string instruments have it in a way that's still challenging for anything digital.
…let’s see how this number goes when winter comes. People generally don’t want themselves to freeze to death.
Relatedly, the book "Grand Obsession" tells the story of one pianist's truly obsessive search for a piano with a particular sound. I found it fascinating, moving, and a little terrifying.

Yes, it's a great name like millimetres of mercury (mmHg), kilotons of TNT, light-years, etc. /s

But seriously, SI already has appropriate units for these quantities. Milliangstroms should be converted to picometres, millimetres of mercury should be converted to kilopascals, kilotons of TNT should be converted to terajoules, and light-years should be converted to petametres.
My impression is that both services are widely used in "Slavic" countries, not just Russia. In particular, my relatives in Ukraine use both mail.ru and VK. I wonder if this will trigger a move to equivalent American services, like Facebook or Gmail, for some.
