I can't find the quote, but I believe it was one of the physicists involved in the Manhattan Project who said that the greatest secret of nuclear weapons is that they were feasible to engineer at all. Just by dropping them, the US let that secret out and ensured that other countries began engineering them.

I feel like American Exceptionalism has just turned into collective denial.
I make biscuits and scones regularly and yes, it's the same recipe minus sugar, which is similar to the suet dumplings recipe here EXCEPT you would not boil/poach a biscuit - that would make it a dumpling. I'd say it's more the method of cooking that defines a dumpling than the dough recipe - you could use biscuit dough but it doesn't have to be and often isn't.
> Many force you to install their own app instead of using a generic one. Which is a problem.

I agree that having to use a proprietary app is not great, but TOTP is vulnerable to MITM attacks because the tokens are not restricted to a specific action but only to a time slice. For many use cases that is not a big problem, but for a bank account I'd want more security. Of course being able to do your banking in the same app or a slightly different one on the same device kind of defeats the purpose.

That’s fascinating. I’m surprised I’d never heard that little detail about bats before. Or maybe I did, but didn’t realize the significance of it and it didn’t fully register.

I agree about staying away from bats. I mean, if there’s a risk of rabies at all, I don’t want to go near a single one of them. But like you say, letting them be and conserving (or even restoring) their habitats would go a long way in supporting them. Ideally there would be no human interaction element.

I suppose people worry that if bats flourish, we will encounter them more often. I’m not sure how likely that is at various scales. Say their populations double, would we see twice as many bats and see a doubling of rabies cases? I’m not sure.
I use it for a few other things than reverse proxying. HAProxy seemed like a light weight solution to what I was looking for: parse an incoming request and hand it to something else as fast as possible, and doesn't do any web hosting itself.

I'm not disputing you can establish an upper bound on latency. You can always do this by using a system's slowest component as the upper bound and pin everything else's latency to that bound, as I said. I'm just pointing out that this upper bound a) doesn't scale well/leaves a lot of performance on the floor, and b) the upper bound is very sensitive to size and geometry.

In high performance systems, constant time random access is just not constant.
This is just a political talking point supported by a friendly media. From the union's mouth:

>Q: Why did the railroads reject proposals to add benefits on top of the framework recommended by the PEB?

>A: The request for additional benefits made by the few unions that have not ratified tentative agreements is similar to a proposal which was carefully considered and rejected by President Biden’s Presidential Emergency Board (PEB). It comes weeks after these same unions entered into tentative agreements that included the most generous wage package in almost 50 years of national rail negotiations.

>The health, safety, and wellbeing of rail employees is a top priority for all railroads, and any suggestion that rail workers cannot take time off when sick is easily disproven. Rail employees can and do take time off for sickness and have comprehensive paid sickness benefits starting, depending upon craft, after as few as four days of absence and lasting up to 52 weeks. The structure of these benefits is a function of decades of bargaining where unions have repeatedly agreed that short-term absences would be unpaid in favor of higher compensation for days worked and more generous sickness benefits for longer absences.

https://raillaborfacts.org/news/bargaining-status-faq-2022/

What's happened is that the unions negotiated higher pay for worse benefits. Now some of them are leaning on friendly politicians to get the benefits they traded away back without having to give up the higher pay.

Exactly; maybe we can take from this that there is (some) truth in that "nobody wants to work", so we should do something about it with automation, but we also need redistribution so that we don't end up in a society where nobody has any money except a few trillionaires.

I tend to agree. It's unfortunate, but some of the primary ways we use to measure stability and health is strictly economics, both societally and individually.
Answering another question about Flutter variability I remembered that that variability requires a bit of custom wrapping per widget for Matrix goodness. ClojureDart is fine, but my Matrix macros try to bring in a little HTML-ish uniformity.

Matrix has many widgets yet unwrapped, but I will document the wrapping process and support any user by doing the wrapping myself. I also have in mind developing a Dart tool to generate wrappers automagically.

tl;dr: ClojureDart is in great shape, Flutter/MX is solid but needs more widgets wrappe.
Modern dishwashers use way less water, so you are likely using too much detergent. You can probably cut the amount in half. I actually run an extra sanitize cycle which is like an extra rinse I believe to help remove the extra residue. Older dishwashers in general use a lot more water which helps. Sometimes I run the tough cycle since it uses more water as well.

I use the pods most often but I've found that cascade platinum leaves more noticeable residue then quantum but I may actually switch to something else entirely. The problem is if I use anything besides these two my dishes don't get as clean. The pods are also difficult to chop in half.

I think the manufacturers need to create a low dose high efficiency detergent. There's probably a formula and I bet cascade platinum and the quantum are optimized for an older generation of washers that use more water.

I am separate from them. I didn’t do any of that stuff.

> Voting for blues obviously isn’t cutting it.

But also only “blue” led states have minimum required paid sick laws, so at least they are trying. Given the option between red and blue, it seems obvious which one to support if you support paid leave for all.
Indeed. And the way the ruling class divided the working class in the U.S. was by using race as the talking point instead of class. I do maintain though that this was especially easy to do because with desegregation white working class Americans had a target to blame that wasn’t the ruling class.
When you design systems so "efficiently" that there is no slack, you increase their working efficiency, but also their fragility.

We (in America) saw the costs of this "just in time" slackless logistics in the economic reboot as we rebounded from the first waves of COVID: logjams at the ports.

I think there's also a generational aspect to it. Student loan forgiveness is being painted as a cash transfer to younger generations who are somehow lazy, whereas moving cash from younger generations to older (e.g. social security) is sacrosanct.

The same can be said from the opposite side of the argument.

People will be on the side of free or subsidised healthcare and other social support regardless of their unpayable public debt rising even further and that it eventually may crush individuals from society that are perhaps not even born yet.

The "opponent" in this case is the wrong person who has a different political view.
> Was their intent at the time of "voting against their interests" to injure their own group?

This is beside the point. From the paper:

However, real-world decision-making often entails making choices where harm is unavoidable (7, 8). Groups may have to choose between in-group losses and out-group gains, a circumstance that has not been previously studied and reveals that individuals’ decisions cannot be explained by existing theories.

> Do we have any insights into their state of mind when taking these actions?

Often we do, because people generally are not all that shy in telling one another - and the media - what they think.

It is also highly improbable that a group which fought hard for union representation, or made considerable use of a public pool, suddenly decided these things were against their own interests right at the time these benefits were being extended to other people.
Quite a few applications do this.

This is very much false. Rural areas have very little violent crime, in both absolute and per-capita terms. I encourage you to spend some time looking into this, with the focus on “why did I ever think this could be true”.
// but in practice it's very very hard

I think I mentioned in my post like 3 times that this is a difficult thing to do even for those who are skilled. My point is that you still have to do it if you want a chance to get the outcomes you desire.

// How can you really provide hard evidence that an application with 1 database instead of 12 will be easier to develop in?

Great example. Like I said, the first step is to confirm a shared understanding of the problem. "Easier to develop" is not relevant, but "feature delivery velocity" is. So step 1, I'd ask the people I am trying to persuade whether they perceive a feature delivery velocity issue on your team.

If the answer is no - well that's a whole different conversation.

Assuming the answer is yes, the next question is - would it be impactful to the business if the velocity went up and should we think about how to do that? Again, if the answer is no - that's interesting. Ask why not?

If the answer is yes - then you come back with "as far as I can tell, one of the sources of our low velocity is the complexity. For example, we have 12 databases and on average, every feature requires 6 of them to be changed. From casual observation, each DB takes X days to update so this is how much tax we're paying every feature."

Then you ask - "does this make sense to you? I am not saying this is the only problem but it seems apparent to me as your technology lead that we're paying a high complexity cost for this design. Let me know if you're with me?"

If they say "no" - great - troubleshoot that.

If they say "yes" - "ok great. I have an idea for how we can go down from 12 databases to 3 at a development cost of X. Ballpark we will recoup that cost in Y months. Should we try this?"

In my experience, walking people through it this way patiently (and it may be multiple conversations), I either get a "yes" or learn a good reason why it shouldn't be done, 100% of the time. Notice that in this approach, I neither lead with the answer "12 DBs bad!" nor overload them with technical detail - but I give them just enough to follow my own logic - after all you must have done similar thinking (even if just intuitively) to arrive at your conclusion. Now you're externalizing your intuition in a way that others can follow.

Like I said - very hard to do. Most people don't bother, many other people are horrible at it (but way ahead of those who don't try!) But either way, this is the only way to get shit done so you gotta do it.
