Can I have the opposite? I want to be able to run webassembly-based extensions in postgresql. I don't like writing C, and most postgresql languages offer too much (no sandboxing, need slow interpreters and shit). But a WASM based sandbox for creating custom functions for postgres in your favourite WASM-outputting language sounds very interesting
> USB type-XYZ will be even more beneficial to the consumer in 5 years and the EU governing body is going to what... ? update the books with that? Force all consumer electronics companies to switch?

Sure! Why not?

More practically, it wouldn't be hard to designate a list of standardized form factors. The average smartphone also has plenty of real estate on its edges to ship multiple connectors (especially now that so many phones are dropping 3.5mm jacks), so if some fancy-shmancy USB-D or USB-J or whatever comes out it wouldn't be the end of the world to ship both until the EU updates its legislation to allow the fancy-shmancy one as an acceptable single port.

As it stands, the EU's decision represents a strict improvement from the consumer's perspective. That's worth celebrating, even before the longer-term kinks have been ironed out.

> by voting with money

"voting with money" or "voting with your wallet" is a complete non-sense. There is no -absolutely no- way for anyone in the industry to attribute a lost sale to a "missing" feature.

I think this also a symptoms on how Americans view the world through means of consumption. Everything HAS TO be consumed one way or another.
Honestly that's something they can probably offer separately, but I really prefer this pricing for most use cases where I want a database that is always available but has bursty request/response patterns. This means I can have an analytical database available for all my small services, websites, etc without having to think too much about availability, support, and a constant price overhead. But ClickHouse is so fast you can get pretty far with a $10 VPS, I admit.

Probably the best comparison is CockroachDB Cloud. They have a "serverless" offering based on unit pricing and a dedicated offering based on provisioned servers + support/maintenance overhead. I think that would be the ideal place to go long-term, but I'm super excited for this current one. I love ClickHouse and want to support them.

ClickHouse is also an interesting case because there's lots of options to migrate clusters, use S3 as long-term storage, etc to where I don't particularly feel locked into this offering if I ever wanted to shift into my own.

> expect Gandalf to drop in and send you on an epic quest, you’ll find yourself adrift at best

Oof, too true. It's a dangerous expectation that I had/have (and try to break) that purpose will present itself TO me. Probably because it did throughout my younger life, but only because I was inside of an institution which provided this (often with it's own motive).

(semi)retirement removed me from the institutions, and not being part of the regular rhythm of the work day can alienate you from your usual social network. Without a family demanding something of you, adrift is accurate.
Not understanding the mechanism of action for a specific observed effect is no reason to dismiss it. I would actually argue that's a very unscientific mindset that would hold the progression of science back. If there is indeed an observable effect beyond placebo, as suggested by the peer-reviewed literature (according to various meta-analyses), then it is quite possible that there is indeed a gap in our understanding. To assume this is not possible is hubris of the worst kind, bordering on ignorance.
Exactly, which means the political system is doing its job. Politics was invented to most efficiently express the desires of the people. If the people want more political control, then it is the job of politics to do so. If they don't, then politics should avoid it.

The only reason this is muddled in America is because the people don't agree on to what degree the politics should control things.
I tried many PaaS providers and ended up settling on Render, mostly because of its minimal boilerplate and lack of proprietary tech or vendor lock-in. There is a custom infrastructure-as-code YAML file, but it is optional and pretty nice in its own right, anyway. I get the sense that the Render team cares about DX and doing things the right way for the long term. Moving there from Heroku is simple as the platforms have similar capabilities and there is a migration guide - a day or two unless you are deeply integrated into Heroku’s buildpacks, etc.

Heroku recently removed their free tier. Render has a free tier that is pretty generous and very usable. For paid plans, Render pricing is roughly equivalent to Heroku. However, I find Render’s pricing significantly easier to understand and thus more friendly. Heroku has pricing tiers with varying features and sometimes you have to upgrade to get a feature even if you don’t need more resources. Additionally, Heroku can be vague about some of their specs, particularly when it comes to how much CPU you are promised. Render, on the other hand, gives the same features to all paid plans and then the resources just scale up and out. I much prefer Render’s pricing model, even though for me the cost is about the same.

My one major gripe about Render is that they don’t have a CLI. I find a CLI to be a very important part of any PaaS. Heroku has a great CLI, Render doesn’t, and the feature request to create one has been open for three years. Clearly it was not a priority for them. That said, the ticket did just get marked as In Progress a few days ago, so I am optimistic, but we will have to see where that leads.

I'd like to point out that the thread you linked to is for Australian Tesla owners.

Teslas sold in Europe and Australia include both the proprietary Tesla plug and a CCS plug. In America, Teslas are sold with just the proprietary Tesla plug and so the wall connector uses that, making it incompatible with non-Tesla cars.

So looks like EU knows USB-C is the best port for the citizens.
Following the logic, EU should also know what the best charger, screen, CPU, GPU, drivers etc for the phone is since EU is represented by the people.

Clearly, there should be also no reason why EU should not know what is the best way to source these items and manufacture it as well since EU is represented by the people.

So why stop at the USB-C regulation?

Why can't EU manufacturer the phone as well? How do I sign a petition for this?

Dokku + DigitalOcean droplet and managed postgres.

1. The migration - from "I just learned about Dokku" to "deployed my app for testing" - took about two hours.

2. I'm an urban planner who dabbles in front-end development. DevOps is not my thing.

3. Not too valuable of learnings. Overall, the dokku commands are almost identical to heroku commands (by design). So the transition was smooth and comfortable.

4. Costs: I chose droplet and postgres services with DO that equaled our heroku costs. But we get about 4x the ram now. The site is much faster.

5. Rails/postgres. We don't track hits, but it's pretty popular in terms of, uh, maps for finding pinball machines.

6. I haven't figured out how to set up logging. I would like some kind of "last 5 days of logs, being piped to somewhere." It seems simple, but I don't quite get it yet. I also miss the "usage" metrics from heroku that showed ram and stuff throughout the day. But I guess I pretty much get that with DO and Scout APM.
I jump from hobbies all the time. I've started and stopped more hobbies than I can count. There are a few I return to time and again though. I like math and programming. I think this is a good measure to find things you're "good at". Or at least have the potential to be "good at". Maybe it's not true for everyone but it is certainly true for a lot of people - something you always return to, even after an extended break, is probably what you should be doing. You can have a wide breadth of experience (and that's a good thing) but in general you'll probably find you return to a few things always. If you don't - that's great! Keep paying attention. If you do then you have a direction to head in. A book can't teach you this, neither can some self-help guru. Maybe you aren't keen to be "really good" at programming. Maybe your hobby that you constantly return to is something you haven't even tried yet.

Then again I also have some form of ADHD (diagnosed). I can generally hyperfocus on things like programming, but for other things (like outdoor hobbies) I become obsessive, then burned out, and then I just always return to programming. My entire life is biased through this lens so take it with a grain of salt.
I'm saying this will only become viable when the energy being put into the conversion to methanol (not creation of methane), is lower than the energy stored in the methanol. That does not violate thermodynamics.

Might as well chime in with the basic back-of-a-napkin strength program -> One movement for: (1) vertical push, (2) vertical pull, (3) horizontal push, (4) horizontal pull, (5) glutes/"back of your legs", (6) quadriceps/"front of your legs".

To beat the dead horse, deadlifts definitely involve pulling but it's primarily a glutes exercise. Adding in dedicated pulls like pullups and rows will give you a lot of bang for your buck.
It's certainly not on us skeptics to run trials if we don't believe in homeopathy. But if what OP says were true--if experimental evidence shows an effect--rejecting that evidence on the grounds that it doesn't fit our existing model is unscientific.

I'm not saying there is such evidence, just that "it doesn't fit the model" wouldn't be grounds for rejecting it if it exists.

10 years is a long enough time horizon in tech for any number of inflection points to occur. My bet is this swings heavily in the downward direction as more specialization in the industry occurs, the usage of the title "software developer" drops, but the overall usage of software and "developers" increases e.g. small businesses using low code tools
Had this exact experience trying to hire at startups for Scala/Spark. There’s only so many Scala devs to go around. It also doesn’t help that “good” Scala is highly subjective, with different levels of Scala from better Java to functional paradise.

I’ve been happily coding (and hiring) in Python for the last four years or so. Still doing Rust and some Scala at home where deadlines don’t exist and hiring is a non-issue.

I looked you up after posting that, so I am willing to eat crow. ;)

While I understand and agree with the larger thesis of your article, I feel like it sends the wrong message. I work at a large FI where it's common for applications to be developed by a vendor and then dumped into the environment as a massive .war file — the White House's push for SBOMs gave us significant ammunition to drive changes around in-house and vendor built apps. Is scanning all of this stuff with a SCA tool like Snyk, Xray, or Nexus Lifecycle going to give you 100% coverage and help you realize that an intern installed a vulnerable version of Elasticsearch on a VM without telling anyone? No. Are there going to be false negatives where the scans don't report the proper dependencies? Yes. But having an inventory of what you have is a great first step, even if it isn't 100% active or you don't know where it's deployed — as long as you're cognizant of those limitations.

> We just finished a set of fresh interviews with over 50 security leaders and they almost all spoke about that issue, they don't know where things are despite using Snyk and other tools because there is no linkage in their environment between the repo and the deployment.

I was the "war room" and heavily involved with Log4Shell remediation, so I completely agree and empathize with this experience. We were lucky to have a large suite of tools like Tenable, Aqua, Mergebase's open source log4j-detector, and an in-house built catalog of all servers and assets, which allowed us to piece together info and get a better understanding of the environment. We did multiple passes of environments with multiple tools. It was a greulling month of work, but it would have been even more so if we didn't have existing imperfect solutions.
Political organizations like the FCC already control parts of what an iPhone is and isn't allowed to do. Apple's never been in a position where they can offer exactly what the consumer wants without any political regulation, they've always had to follow some rules.

I don't think this will go down as an important or sector-changing decision. I remember hearing the same thing online about the 2009 common external power supply law and if anything it feels like the consumer is better off.

As others have said much more eloquently than I could, the answer for a happy market probably isn't total unregulated capitalism _or_ full government control, but likely somewhere in the middle. I've been an iPhone user since the 3GS and I'm pleased with this decision.
The title of the Ceph mailing list post is "Red Hat’s Ceph team is moving to IBM", which makes it more clear what's happening.
Shortly after Haken and Appel proved the Four Color Theorem he gave a talk about the work at the University of Houston. There he told a story about an interview he had had with a reporter.

He had explained the statement of the theorem and said a little about the proof, and she seemed to understand. Then at the end of the interview, apparently needing a cute tagline for her article, she asked "Professor Haken, how would you feel if there were a revolution somewhere that changed the map of the world, and your work were no longer valid?"

When Haken told the story, he knew this total lack of any real understanding was funny, but at the same time he was very understandably pained by it.
I also founded a company which built a large portion of our backend on Clojure, using it through Series C. Your experience matches ours verbatim.

Yep. This is also true.

Hopefully WFH helps there. In my niche Scala it does. We can hire more broadly. We also hire ppl with an aptitude for Scala and keep our style simple. That helps.
2 years ago I was hired into a Clojure based start-up with no experience in Clojure. It is easy to learn, and I love it now. One of my duties is hiring, and we don't look for developers with Clojure experience. Instead we look for developers with good skills in any language, and trust they'll be able to figure out Clojure. In a way, it has actually widened our hiring pool since we can't be shackled to the XXX years of experience in YYY approach.

> You say 'exposure' but then you discuss powerful orators and crowd dynamics. These aren't the same at all.

I didn't just discuss that. I also discussed mass shooters who were radicalized by these ideas that they read in online forums. No orators.

> Also I don't think the Nazis and Hutus were made into racists by academic discussion of genetics

Scientific racism is just one instantiation of it. Not every bad outcome of racism is going to be traced back to scientific racism.

But I will say that scientific racism was a part of Nazi thought. And the mass shooter who wrote the N word on his barrel, and Dylan Roof, were inspired by scientific racism. You can read his manifesto for yourself, or you can see Dylan Roof's interview on Youtube.

> The pro-censorship side needs to prove the science->racism pathway

I really don't see the point of this. I'm not even talking about science or exclusively about scientific racism. You're the one who pivoted the conversation in that direction.
I think it's the other way around :-)

In Google Cloud, you have to learn all these concepts and use them as Google intends. Oh, you should create a new Project. But to do that you need an Organization. But to do that you need an Identity Source. But you'll need to choose from x or y and have a domain. But... (all this before creating a billing account, or enabling an API, or... ?!)

In AWS, you just have an account. That's it. You can later add-on AWS Organizations if you need to manage a big organization.

AWS is simple and composeable, and GCP is advanced and opinionated. Pick your poison.
In monoliths sure, but if you’re building services that are compact and tested it’s less of an issue.

i assume you're using some larger unit but saying "per capita" because it's not possible to have more than 1 death per capita.

regardless when will y'all understand citing death statistics will not convince us to ban guns? we oppose it because we believe it's wrong to restrict a basic freedom not because death figures are under some magic threshold where we'd support it if the number went over.
I think there was a comment on HN once to the effect of "Imagine you had 2 candidates, same work experience, both at a fairly prestigious company, one with a degree, one without, which do you hire? Personally, I think the fact that the non-degree holding one is more likely to be the better hire, just because of how much harder they had to work to get into that position".

Not saying that not having a degree is somehow a more-positive indicator, just that I agree with your sentiment that it's hardly a requirement, and that it's just one signal among many.

FWIW, I have an inclination to believe the reason why node+express+react stacks are so popular among startups (at least in the NY scene) is because all the full stack bootcamps use that stack, so it makes it easier to hire. I also decided to use a similar stack that only used JS for the same reason. I feel as though some aspects of "software development" are closer to to a trade skill. Certainly there are far more complicated directions, and that's where degrees and advanced education are meaningful, but if you just need a simple CRUD app you probably don't need a masters in anything.

Content is not fungible. When I want to watch Terminator (1984) and nothing else, then no amount of having other killer-robot films on your platform will satisfy this want.

As to why people who buy prefer to buy physical? Because there's actual ownership. I haven't even as much as investigated my options for buying 4K content, because I am 100% sure it doesn't exist in a form that's not hooked into some DRM system (AKA worse than useless). With physical content, at least you retain the control.
LOL. Yale is five years behind the trend as usual.

Diego Ongaro wrote the Raft paper as his PhD dissertation at Stanford, so this is also false.

I’m sure the original claim can be narrowed even further than you just did to make it true; I don’t deny that there is a trend for more research, particularly CS and biotech, to be done privately. It’s hyperbole to claim academia is doing nothing though, even in CS.
