I fail to see the issue with these tax cuts. Lower stamp duty, weaker pound meaning increased exports, a lower tax bracket, and a relaxation of ir35 rules.
It's not cars just being bigger, they need to produce less toxic emissions too because of regulations.

It's certainly a valid option.
The company I'm at did a migration from Heroku to Beanstalk (manually created).

This was done because the lack of Infra/DevOps specialisation in the company at the time and Beanstalk was the most similar service to Heroku. Biggest change was dockerising.

Advantage is EB has a somewhat friendly UI so you can do everything point and click if that's what you're used to with Heroku.

Disadvantages are the docker support is an afterthought (which is fair as EB predates docker).
Trying to manage it through terraform is quite clunky.
Release rollouts aren't the quickest (but depends on what you're used to).
It works, is reliable, but it's not the future and hard to attract talent to work with it (doesn't make hiring any easier).
AWS is maintaining and supporting it but it's not getting any new feature development.

Now we have grown and have Infra specialists we're moving to ECS fargate.

Using EB wasn't the path I'd have chosen for the company to take, but it was probably the best one given our company requirements/skills at the time. I don't regret it, but happy we have the skills to move off it.
We were very glad to have been off Heroku when the recent security troubles became known.
We moved off because of Heroku's constant instability and our increasing lack of confidence in them as a vendor. Which we were sad about as we loved Heroku.

> I can tell you that I have personal connections to persons who have abandoned their so called "sexual orientation"

What are you trying to suggest by the use of "so-called" and scare quotes around "sexual orientation"?
It's pretty well established that sexual orientation can be fluid in some individuals, and I don't doubt there are people who spend many years enjoying heterosexual relationships only to determine at a later point they prefer same sex relationships. The reverse may well also happen from time to time. Not really sure what point you're trying to make at all.
> Modern civic engineers went without any significant regulation, and then that changed

There is no analogy. The only reason why other engineering disciplines are not adopting software practices is because the other engineering fields are not easy to iterate. You build a bridge. And then you could maybe get some funding to improve one part of it a decade afterwards. Because it is too expensive and cumbersome to do it.

When IoT, AI, nanomachines, 3D printing proliferate, you will see how that will change. Devices and buildings will be possible to iterate, and they will have versions that get incremented as they are improved.

...

As for obligations, the existing law already covers it. From GDPR to payments compliance, everything is there. And a lot of the best practices are invented and standardized by Open Source, actually.

...

What Open Source still lacks is the mindset to approach end-users and consumers and be able to get them on board. Open Source needs to take the route of 'no backwards compatible changes', and even 'add, never deprecate' (like JSON project) along with the habit of hiding complexity from end users and making things easy.

Then we can create a truly Open Source world in which there will be infinite new possibilities.
We should be skeptical of these announcements.

Over the past few years, we've seen a steady stream of companies issuing press releases about these kinds of experiments showing a four-day workweek is just as (or more) productive. The firms pat themselves on the back about how forward-thinking they are and talk about their commitment to employee well-being.

However, none of these companies actually move to a four-day workweek. It seems like theater at this point.

There's not _that_ many encodings that feel natural enough. Maybe: bytes, ascii/utf-8/latin1/etc. (all equiv.), utf-16, utf-32, maybe ebcdic.

I also agree. I read Man's Search for Meaning at a point where I felt no meaning in my life. I found it completely worthless as a guide to finding meaning.

There is one sentence in the last half of the book that is something like "meaning comes from living every moment as if it has meaning" and that seemed like his central idea of "logotherapy". Meaning is to find meaning.

My response is that "meaning is figuring out how to make your brain cells fire off in ways that result in feeling contentment or wanting." If we are ruled by our transmitters like serotonin (contentment) and dopamine (motivation/action/wanting), this all breaks down when it comes to real depression.

In real depression the reward systems we experience have stopped working to the point where sunsets are hard to appreciate. The mechanics through which we might experience meaning are corrupted to the point where conventional philosophy doesn't make a lot of sense.

How do you find meaning when the "meaning" circuits in your brain don't fire?

On the topic of the book I found this quote on American (or was it western) culture insightful: “The incurable sufferer is given very little opportunity to be proud of his suffering and to consider it ennobling rather than degrading" so that "he is not only unhappy, but also ashamed of being unhappy.”
I'm not remotely surprised, and their response is par for the course in all megacorps that have forgotten how to give a straight answer to an uncomfortable question, but it's still not honest. Just true.

Because compared to most attempts at adapting books, LotR did a good job. The changes were made to make the trilogy easier to watch since the books can be a little difficult at times, or to make the characters more dynamic. They weren't perfect, but no adaptation is. As for the Hobbit, I agree with you. That entire trilogy was a mistake.

Personally, while I loved the LotR movies, I also feel like they were the worst thing to happen to the books. Ever since the movies came out every studio has wanted a piece of it for nostalgias sake. I remember when the first two Narnia movies came out I was sad that not as many people liked it since I love Lewis every bit as much as Tolkien, and I wanted my enjoyment of the books to spread. Prince Caspian had inaccuracy problems, but the core story was there. After the abomination that was 2010s Dawn Treader, and seeing how corporatized Middle Earth has become, that seems like a mercy in hindsight.

>I'm well aware of broken window fallacy

You seem to be conflating two different things here. The broken window fallacy, or parable of the broken window (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window), is an idea in economics about how destructive actions don't produce a net benefit. The broken window theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory) is an idea in criminology that small crimes, like broken windows, produce larger crimes. While there is of course debate about how accurate the latter idea is, it's not generally described as a fallacy, and its only connection to the former idea is the similar name.

But they do have the rights. They have the rights to this.

The problem is that they're mixing everything up into a nonsensical story and telling it poorly. And I really don't understand why, because with their budget, they should have been able to get the best writers in existence.

I don't think it would have been able to stand on its own without Tolkien's name attached. Certainly not with this kind of budget.

they should first try to retain their users, before dreaming of switching others.
I think you're absolutely right - my worry is that while passkeys are very usable, they also effectively create inescapable inertia and friction to ever changing browser or device ecosystem.

Today there is no migration path from one MacOS WebKit browser (Safari) to another (which also has an implementation of PassKey), since the third party browser can't share the same authenticator key.

As you say, all of this is far too complicated for an end user - my suggestions to avoid the problem and migrate only work for tech savvy users that know every site they use. That's maybe 0.1% of users.

My worry if we see adoption of passkeys is that only 0.1% of the browser market becomes contestable, as everyone else is stuck locked into their incumbent browser with no way to enroll their new browser's passkey into the sites they use.

Homework should not exist in the first place. If any education system is sending children back to their homes with assignments, then it means that system is failing in the classroom already. For that, it is overflowing that responsibility to children's private lives.

Tangent: It's amazing that the popularity of XP to "level up" and HP to bring to zero has become. This was a new concept to me way back when Final Fantasy 3 (3 in the US, I think 6 in Japan) came out. It felt very niche and reserved for a specific type of game. Now those ideas are everywhere.

What's a common new game trend since then? I can think of these: randomized microtransaction packs, online multiplayer PvP and co-op.

Are there any established trends that I'm missing out on, or new concepts emerging that old gamers may not have come across?

>Like... Could you just fire the gun, then put the target where the bullet went an fire again and say its mission accomplished because the real goal is just setting up a gun that stable and precise and deterministic?

No... slight variations in wind and atmospherics across that distance change too rapidly and significantly to make that viable. (Also, you wouldn't need to, you'd just adjust the windage/elevation on the optics and/or fancy rifle mount.)

Also the when the bullet drops from supersonic to subsonic speed, there is a non-deterministic kick that it receives which dramatically reduces accuracy beyond that distance.
In the 80s a bunch of federal judges adopted the "consumer welfare" standard, which argued that we should only consider antitrust violations that harm, well... consumer welfare.

Since this was the 80s and Reagan-style free market rhetoric was in fashion, this became the new law of the land.

Problem is, very few antitrust violations actually meet this standard, because most companies aren't buying other companies purely to jack up prices. The harm is a lot more subtle. If you remember the days of "disruptive innovation", that could be looked at as monopolists getting punished for being too large and ignoring new technologies. Now, because antitrust is basically not enforced anymore, incumbents just buy their disruptors and integrate them into the whole. Startups no longer exist to create new products, but to eat up chunks of a big company's M&A budget for that year.

I'm hopeful that Lina Khan turns the ship around on this but it will take a decade, at least.

I need ELI5:

electric cars have very large and heavy batteries right? Why is it prohibitively difficult to replace them on demand? What if there were 2-3 batteries charging at home or hundreds at a "battery station", where you would park at a spot/drive-thru garage and have a hydraulic machine drop your old battery and lift in a new battery and the whole swap can take no longer than the time it takes to fill up a has car and you have less queues. Why is this not possible?

If it takes an hour to charge a battery and a battery station has 200 charging at any given time, and it takes 2 minutes to swap a battery then 6 charging bays can replace batteries for 180 cars leaving 20 extra batteries for defects and other issues. Couldn't such a charging station be implemented on a similar lot and budget of constructing a medium size gas station (at least a dozen pumps and around 1 acre lot).

A charging station that is twice as efficient with a 30min charge time can do 2 cars at most in one hour. You need 90 charging station to reach that efficiency even without considering the queues.

I just don't get it. Governments around the world and spending trillions on this stuff so why is there no clear answer on this?

If your editor isn’t telling you there’s a type error in your guard, that’s usually a good sign your guard is too large. Even if you’re rolling your own (which seems an odd choice but I’ll take it as read that you have reasons), it’s a good idea to take inspiration from the prior art. With libraries like zod/io-ts etc, it’s harder to end up with a mismatch like you describe than to always have your types and guards in sync, because the guards are built from small composable primitives and the types are derived from them. Larger guards built without that are basically a lot of ceremony around `as Foo`, with all the false sense of safety that implies.

Not trying to dissuade you from rolling your own, mind you. Heck, it’s been stalled for a while as I focus on other things, but I’m rolling my own whole library (also for reasons, foremost of which is handling JSON Schema generation and validation at runtime without relying on codegen like other solutions do).
