As a long-time ruby user where bundler has done version pinning for decades, I think this is a core feature of any dependency management system, not some kind of "routing around it."

I'm not sure what "your own version control system" means. Checking all dependencies into (eg) git? I'm not sure how you deal with indirect/second-level dependencies, but any kind of roll your own like that to me is what I'd call "routing around" the failures of your platform dependency management system.

Correct dependency pinning also allows you automated ways to upgrade dependencies, resolving requirement trees, within stated bounds specified per-dependency (like keep to same major version). It just happens when you want, not every time you install or deploy.

Has anyone here experimented with IPFS to create a mirrored video archive for things like their YouTube channels?

Exactly. The vast majority of crypto "usage" is people trading on exchanges - which is pretty difficult to do when your crypto is stored in a wallet with the seed phrases etched on steel plates and buried in your yard...

As you noted the overwhelming majority of money worldwide is stored very safely in custodial fashion so people can actually /do something/ with it.

As I've also noted before we're going to see a drastic uptick in the coming weeks/months/years of people losing access to all of their crypto because of the UI/UX challenges inherent with self custody. I don't think many of the people who are rushing out to buy a Ledger or otherwise move to a non-custodial wallet fully understand that unlike everything else in the world there is no password reset option or customer service number to call when people inevitably do what people do and make a minor mistake.

There is going to be a lot of heartbreak from people losing everything because of forgotten passwords, wallets getting hacked, etc.
Probably the most obvious improvements for most users are the big growth in the package ecosystem, with some science and math packages becoming the best available in any language (DifferentialEquations.jl, for example) and the drastic improvement in interactivity: the REPL starts instantly now, and most packages compile much faster. This will get even better in the next major release.

Just started using Oracle Cloud Container Engine. Deploying all my side projects for free on ARM boxes, feels good man.

Previously I was self-hosted on a colo box I have using a PaaS I used to work on called Flynn - but it's about time to retire that machine, it's a 7 year-old Xeon and the power it draws has to be insane compared to the 3 ARM instances it's now running on.

The world has moved on from Flynn sadly and now it's my turn too.

From Turbo Pascal to C# to TypeScript, an Interview with Anders Hejlsberg
Coincidentally, I'm in the middle of reading "The Neuroscience of You" by Chantel Prat. The author's comments on twin studies:

> some characteristics that have genetic influences, like extraversion, also influence the kinds of environments and experiences people will seek out. And other genetic factors, likes how tall or attractive you are, can influence your experiences by shaping the way others treat you. To further muddy the nature-versus-nurture waters, the rapidly evolving field of epigenetics is showing that environmental experiences can create chemical changes in our DNA!"

> To figure out how surprising the similarities between long-lost twins (or triplets) might be, we've got to ask the question, "How likely is it that any two random strangers who meet on the street would also be similar in this way?"
PHP/Symfony/Drupal and everything is else bananas because of EOL.

You are dealing with a stack where every 2 years one subsystem goes EOL.

Drupal 6 & 7 have lasted that long because Drupal didn't have to depend on anything except PHP.

Build on a set of always EOL'd subsystems and you get developer burn out, endless budget requests and justifications for maintenance, upgrades, endless obsolescence etc.

Drupal has failed primarily because lack of leadership. Drupal has always been its community, and with so many contributors switching the community to a different language would not have been difficult. The underlying model and the fit for the language is all that would have mattered.

In the early days of PHP one Buytaert (not Dries) said Drupal should be switched to LISP, and given how stable LISP has been over the years it wasn't that farfetched. If so many people can learn Autocad and Microsoft Excel and Office Basic, then so many people could also switch to LISP. Personally I would go for Smalltalk.

The main power of Drupal is that it was always like Excel formulas -> Word/Excel Macros -> Office VBA -> Access -> C#/SQL Server/.NET. It served a whole load of users of varying skills and it helped basic users learn and upskill.

For a sheer lack of understanding or perhaps money, the leadership decided to go "enterprise" a blew up a huge majority of its users and contributors, and for most of its users it is pretty dead unless they want to try Backdrop. The focus on enterprise was a failure of leadership to understand what made Drupal as strong as it was.

Users are not going launch resource heavy Dockers and VMs with command lines just to start a personal CMS. For all those people Drupal is basically a non-starter.

I deploy to actual VPCs, the old way. No containers. No PaaS. Just get a Linux machine with a static IP and install. I use ansible to automate the deployment.

If I need some storage of undefined quantity, in the case of say image uploads, I might bring in S3 (or equivalent) service. But other than that, just a VPC.

> "apprentice", "journeyman", and "master"

My last boss used to appoint "apprentices". They would stay as apprentices for all of 6 months (I think they got a tax-break for having apprentices). Traditionally, an apprentice in a trade would be indentured for several years, studying/serving under a master.

After completing his apprenticeship, the new tradesman would be kicked out, and barred from working in the same city as his master; he was expected to travel around and broaden his experience. That might last a decade. He'd then have to convince his trade guild that he now qualified as a master, often by presenting an exceptional piece of work (a "masterpiece").

It's often said that it takes a decade to learn anything really well. I think that applies equally to programming. So the "journeyman" stage fits in with that, as a way of designating someone's skill level. But the "apprentices" I worked with were doing exactly the same work as everyone else; we were all fungible programmers. In 45 years in the industry, I worked with approximately two people I'd designate as "master".
If you are going down the k8s path and want to learn both a cool config language and make it easier to be able to deploy abitrary things in a more consistent way I suggest checking out Jsonnet and Tanka.

This combination allows me to make use of Helm charts, off-the-shelf YAML and custom Jsonnet in a cohesive way.

It's probably overkill for personal projects but I picked up the stack in a previous professional role and for me it's scaled down well enough.

Now that I've overanalyzed my feelings? Tense, anxious. And started to feel psychogenic pain while I was managing okay before.

Not sure who it is for, but this kind of "reification of feelings" (as colors, shapes, monsters or anthropomorphizations) has never helped me and only made it worse. It either increases my anxiety, or turns it to hopelesness (in the way of "I'm so far gone I'm wasting time doing this because there's nothing to actually help me") or at best I can ignore it and move on.

The website looks great, and looks like a lot of work was put into it so I'm sorry I'm putting it down, but the concept itself is... in my case, a literal pain.
You’re right, it’s wrong, but not that wrong. Several sources indicate the majority of Ilex species occur in South America and Asia, so that was probably what they meant to say. Ilex paraguariensis is limited to Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina, and are clearly the “Ilex trees” referred to in the second sentence quoted. So, yeah, it’s imprecise and syntactically sloppy but not that far out, and not the main point of the paper, but as Jack Reacher says, “details matter”.

It's not an accident. OpenAI is walking a fine line here, which is evident in how ChatGPT goes out of its way to repeat the hypothetical in its answer. The adversary is the journalists and Internet commentariat, that have a well-established track record of quoting things out of context to stir controversy.

If ChatGPT says something controversial as a direct answer to a simple question, all it'll take is a screenshot and conveniently omitting the fact that ChatGPT doesn't really know or believe anything, it's just pattern-matching your prompt to Reddit comments. However, if you need to bend your prompt to ridiculous degree to elicit controversial responses, it's much harder to say it's the OpenAI's fault.

You misunderstand.

They are merely adding themselves to the defaults set by current manufacturers. End users are free to remove them.

Microsoft, Mozilla and others already provide you with a list of who you’re going to trust by default.

> Now I challenge you to find any broker on the planet that can promise instant FX swap settlement on the same day for a cash account.

Don't compare apples and bananas.

If I deposit Shmollars to a regulated brokerage they will hold my Shmollars in Shmollar denominated account and upon request will instantly (subject to technicalities of the transfer) transfer those Shmollars back. No FX swap needed.

Now if they convert those Shmollars to anything else without my explicit request then they are no longer a brokerage and more comparable to an unregulated bank. Which is what Binance apparently did.

> the javascript ecosystem is node

It's not. NodeJS is NodeJS. JavaScript is JavaScript.

The James Webb Space Telescope isn't running Node LTS or pulling in left-pad.

If you want to make a lateral move and draw comparisons elsewhere: the Java ecosystem is not Sun/Oracle's mobile platform—which never took off, while Android thrives. Languages are absolutely separable from the big loud noisemaker (and the problems they bring with them).

As for build toolchains: even taking the comment that "if you only do web work now you still need node for the build toolchain" charitably, we could understand it to mean that NodeJS-based toolchains save you time, rather than that you strictly need them in a literal sense. Even that argument is dubious. It's worth considering, if people spent half as much time working on the drudge work that these toolchains are ostensibly supposed to be saving them time on, instead of dealing with the dysfunction that comes with these tools, where might they be? Ivan is doing a-okay with Photopea despite repudiating basically everything about NodeJS.

In practice, those toolchains have proven to be a false economy for many circumstances where they end up being (mis)used. More honestly, they're shiny distractions that people put at the forefront of their attention because that's what they like doing—and they're willing to lie to themselves by saying they're doing something essential.

> You can't realistically develop without it

Sorry, bud, this is wildly exaggerated. It's simple bullshit. I won't concede to such an argument that doesn't have a firm basis in truth.

Or, if you want a pithy rejoinder, here's one: "You can't realistically develop with it!"[1]

Firefox is one of the most advanced early codebases that made extensive use of JS for serious use—and still more serious than many of the things that people are writing in JS today—and there was no use of NPM—because neither it nor NodeJS (nor V8!) even existed yet.

How do you feel that would lead to less deaths given that the deaths from fent are often (but not always) from an intentional dose of fent?

The research here also does not support broad legalization:

+ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24456133/

+ https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2019/06/medical-marij...

Of special note is that opiod deaths increased as legal prescribed opiods were given more freely.
Alcohol is legal. That doesn't stop people to blame poor people for being lazy drunkards, does it?
It's just weird logic to say "X causes more deaths than Y, Y should be legal then".

E.g. car accidents kill more people per year than marijuana.

Does that mean driving a car should become illegal, and marijuana legalized?

I don't think people truly understand the gap from "net-positive fusion is technically possible" to "fusion plants are real and have an ROI competitive with fossil fuels".

Seems like we're getting close to step 1 (exciting) but that's really just the beginning if fusion is actually going to live up to the hype as the savior energy source. We need to make it politically and economically viable, solve the mineral supply chain and construction cost issues, mobilize existing industrial resources towards rapidly build out fusion plants, concurrently with improvements to the grid and battery systems, while electrify everything. And it has to happen tomorrow.

But consider that we already have several viable non-fossil-fuel energy technologies that _could_ power our civilization but don't. It's worth reflecting on why. Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and nuclear fission are already established energy sources at a certain scale. Yet physical limits, politics, and economic realities prevent us from fully deploying them at the scale required. To wit, none of them have made a dent in the still-increasing global fossil fuel consumption. "Renewables" are just added on top in the pursuit of additional growth, with fossil carbon still the core engine.

It's not enough to make fusion work technically. It has to out-compete oil, gas and coal in the market to such an extent that it incentivizes rapid electrification - we have plenty of examples of once-promising energy technology that have failed to deliver at this scale. Honest question for the nuclear fusion hopefuls - why do you think fusion will be different?
