>huge stroke of luck, or something else, but Japan destroys a Russian fleet at Tsushima in 1905, and leapfrogs into the ranks of Great Powers

It wasn’t luck, Russia was way behind the other western powers at the time and greatly underestimated Japans capabilities.

> this goes to their head, and they proceed to do the most foolish thing at Perl Harbor, and pick a fight with the 800 pound gorilla

“Pearl Harbor” is American revisionism. What actually happened that day was one of the most successful coordinated attacks of the entire war spanning across the pacific, against both the British and American empires simultaneously. The Japanese had imperial ambitions and was up hemmed in by the USSR, Britain, and American in basically all directions. They captured not only the Philippines from the US but also dug in deeply into British SE Asia while destroying basically the entire pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor in the same day.

They ended up overextending themselves, but it was necessary from a strategic standpoint to secure the natural resources they needed from those colonies.
It was a genuine question.

If you look up the actual definition of veganism - it's all about not wanting to cause unnecessary suffering and destruction [0]

We live in a time where we don't need meat anymore to survive. Yes there are still regions of humans who need to hunt and farm animals as it's their only means of survival.

But I'm talking about us living in the western world who rely mostly on factory animal farms to provide meat and dairy. There are numerous studies that clearly show feeding the world with animal meat is not sustainable [1]

So what is extreme about not wanting to cause animal suffering and not wanting to support a food system that contributes heavily to biosphere destruction?

Where is the (lazy) strawman?

Again - genuine question.

"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

> US zoning laws...

That's an incredibly broad statement since most zoning is handled on the state, county or city level. There are plenty of places in the US where someone could build an equivalent SF or NYC and yet they don't.

> The few prewar walkable cities that still function such as New York and San Francisco are very expensive as a result.

You seem to be drawing a causal link here, walkable leads to desirable and expensive. Yet, as I mentioned before, not only is it possible to build walkable cities in many states, there are plenty of other walkable cities that aren't expensive or desirable.

I suspect that SF and NYC being the both historic and a hub of two giant economic engines of the US, the tech and financial sectors respectively, has a lot more to do with the pricing of those areas than their walkability.
Teslas generally aren't available in India. Import duties are high for foreign vehicles (like "100% of vehicle cost" high) , and Tesla doesn't have Indian factories.
I'm not sure what your application is, but Temporal [1] could be a good fit. The nice thing is that it can cover all three aspects in one conceptual model: Sagas, distributed transactions, and events.

With Temporal, you write your various complex, potentially long-running actions as normal, synchronous code, which Temporal "magically" turns into distributed, asynchronous, automatically retried, idempotent jobs. The design is really elegant, and removes all of the hard work from writing code that must keep things in sync and handle failures through queueing and retrying. In one sense, Temporal is a way to develop sagas — but also anything else.

Part of the beauty is that you can use it to build the transactional outbox pattern in a much simpler way. You simply emit the event at the end of your workflow. There's no need to make sure the "outbox" is maintained in a database transaction, because Temporal itself is transactional and ensures that the outbox event happens, no matter what failures occur.

Whether that gels with your needs to cater to external developers, I don't know. Are those developers actually working in your codebase, or are you just providing an API?

Either way, you may want to look at Temporal for inspiration, if nothing else. It solves some complex problems in an extremely elegant way. I consider it a must-have in any modern application stack.

Interesting read. This new book makes academic research from the 20th century and later available to everyone, demolishing the myths non-Roman elites like Geoffrey and descendants told about themselves. _Fall of Civilizations_ is a terrific resource. I've learned a lot of fascinating ancient history beyond the Mediterranean world from it.
Well I responded to somebody who was evidently fine with Musk until the twitter shit.
You seem to be implying "software engineers" require much more than a business degree, in which case I believe you to be a young person (< 30) and I forgive your naivety and the trolliness of your comment.

SWE is not a profession that requires deep education in math and science, like a physicist or neurologist. Having anything beyond a bachelor's in CS is not worthwhile outside of maybe ML..maybe.

A person with business degree who grinds toy problems on LC will almost always do better on FAANG coding interviews than a CS new grad with no grinding full stop.

The degree is just a stamp for junior engineers to get their foot in the door, which is no longer needed once you have a stamp from a reputable tech company.
I remember doing this! I remember graduating to the more nefarious “Microsoft’s IPX implementation responds to broadcast pings”. It might have been this CVE: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/securityb...

Luckily I went to a school that believed in redirecting the (endless) time and (boundless) energy of obnoxious nerds like me, and I spent far more time helping out than breaking things. Or at least I hope… the long tail on the IPX ping was pretty painful to stop.
> convert office buildings into housing

Can't be done. Office buildings of significant size are not engineered for 24/7 human occupation. The sewer will be inadequate. The water will be inadequate. Retrofitting this would be spectacularly expensive, if it's even possible, as mechanical and plumbing chases are sized for the original design requirements and are difficult (if not impossible) to alter. It may be possible to do if residents were willing to use shared bathrooms, but they will not be.

HVAC is not sized for 24/7 habitation either. Neither are electrical requirements. Stoves produce a lot of unaccounted for BTUs. They require larger electrical service. The electrical service has to be metered individually, which requires quite a lot of space.

Also, when some natural disaster hits and the city loses power? You can't go home. Your home is 50 floors up. Nobody is walking that. The elevators are sized according to different rules than residency, so there are not enough of them, and they won't all be on a generator anyway.
From what I can tell as a Tesla owner that responds to a lot of Tesla Internet comments, teslas appeal historically has actually been broad politically. The biggest limiting factor of appeal is price, with a lot of people either perceiving the vehicles as expensive for their value or just being hopelessly priced out of luxury car prices generally.

From that perspective, people dig into anecdotes about repair costs, motor/battery replacement, electricity costs, cold weather, etc to self-justify.

I don't see a lot of ideology-based resistance or support for that matter.
Are you aware of how the carbon cycle works?

https://clear.ucdavis.edu/explainers/biogenic-carbon-cycle-a...

If methane from cattle was truly something to be concerned about, surely we'd be seeing an increase in the same carbon isotope as that in cattle methane in the atmosphere, except that's not what's happening.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00312-2

Not all sources of CO2 are concerning, and neither are all sources of methane.
Yeah, we played around with net send as well, I'm pretty sure you could also shut down other computers with either a net command, or with the shutdown command itself.

We found a way to circumvent the way they prevented third party apps from running and spent hours just playing AoE2 in the "study" hall.
Nah. It will become living spaces rather than office spaces. Especially for people who love the density of city living.
>Oh no, signaling poor taste

>I’d like to associate with like minded folks

And how do you signal to like minded folks?

A car specifically might not be important to you as a signaller but if you do want to associate with like minded folks you are going to seek to emulate and fit in with those groups. That's kind of how society and humans work.

If you look at the specs, of the 3 of them the id.4 is generally the smallest. There are some metrics where it comes middle (more front headroom than the ford but less than the Tesla) but in general if you think the Tesla is small you’ll think the VW is small.

> should have an -explain suffix

Adding -h or --help generally does something useful
For my own life I've boiled it down to a "signal vs noise" problem. Whether it be a human or a bot delivering information isn't really important to me. What's important is the accuracy and proof of the information.

Eliminating the "noise" is pretty easy, just take the "mute everyone" approach. No default subreddits, use ad blockers, actively disable "suggested" content where possible, and periodically review the things I'm getting my "signals" from.

The problem I'm struggling with now is verifying authenticity of references and information. Every solution I can think of (say a chrome plugin that does analysis and can watermark text/video/image content with a "FAKE DETECTED" banner) just becomes a cat and mouse game.
>that‘s how competition is supposed to work, everyone trying to give the better price!

Maybe if the price is being lowered, but raising prices based solely on external signal is only "better" for the companies coordinating the price increase.
I started using RLS in the Supabase offering and am now a total fan of it. The supabase implementation, in particular, allows you to expose the API to javascript which is cool! When you use RLS that way, users get their own tokens to pass in the session which limits the records in the db they have access to. So, if you had a token stolen - the db would limit access to just that account.
> only now they aren't even beholden to democracy

Except practically everyone considers our representatives next to useless - look at congress’s approval rating. That’s why if anything local government is the most important. It’s the most limited, fundamentally, and capable of being reformed & truly representative.

Democracy doesn’t even ensure that power isn’t abused, if anything it gives the false impression that abusive power is legitimate because there was an election.
more commands are a side effect of more capability.

If you get a sense of things you can do with (|, & , >) and a dozen or so commands like

The value you get in return is intense for the effort invested.

You're badly misunderstanding the parent post - it is not proposing a technological solution to a human problem, but a technological enforcement of a fundamentally human solution:

He really didn't change that much. The "left" did not have a problem with his tweets or Tesla autopilot failures before he took over Twitter.

Only when he threatened their censorship and their incomes, which are largely based on creating narratives and inventing new social justice causes, the "left" started to lash out.

I do think the TSLA related issues have little to do with the backlash and more with various economic fundamentals.
We do it exactly this way in ClickHouse, and it works perfectly.

You can even expose the database server to the internet and get away with it if you configure the user access control, quotas, and limitations on query complexity.

For example, these services:

https://play.clickhouse.com/play?user=play

https://ghe.clickhouse.tech/

https://pastila.nl/

https://aretestsgreenyet.com/

work this way by querying ClickHouse directly.

ClickHouse has REST API as a first-class feature.
Tesla's ICP are highly educated affluent liberals who believe in climate change, vaccines, women's rights, lgbt rights, and so on. They buy expensive EVs to make a statement and contribute to green economy. Musk is very quickly alienating these people.

Yes, this is exactly why I bought my campervan (2017 promaster 2500) already built out by a youngish kid who wasn't a professional, but sure made nice instagram pictures.

It certainly cost me a lot more than just doing it myself, but by doing it this way, I achieved two goals: immediate use for camping and the ability to figure out what I would do differently by living in it first.

There are a few things I learned pretty quickly:

1. Get rid of the "fancy" toilet. Just use a bucket with eco bags that can be buried or tossed into a trash can. No cleanup mess, lighter, and frees up a lot of valuable space.

2. Moved the sink from the door side and put it on the other side of the van next to the stove (there was an uncomfortable seat there before). Again, freed up a lot of space and made better use of it.

3. Removed a lot of hidden unnecessary support wood. Like in the backs of cabinets against the walls. People don't realize how heavy that stuff is and every extra pound affects van handling and gas mileage.

The list goes on and on, but one thing I did learn after taking my van into cold climates... insulation is critical and very hard to add after the fact.
This seems so odd to me. A CEO's politics never factor into deciding to purchase a product.

Would you tolerate a poor product experience if you agreed with the CEO's politics?
the Musk Twitter nonsense is very current

I don't understand how people don't get this?

It's like saying "Trump's bad, but what about Thomas Jefferson and slavery!"

It just leaves people scratching their heads.
Agree - the holier than thou attitude can be off putting.
Respectfully, I disagree.

In America, car culture is strongly correlated with identity. Ford said "They can have any color as long as it's black." His competitors capitalized on this mistake - people wanted colored cars. Since the 1920's colored cars are the norm.

Large trucks are often seen as an ideological alignment to the point that people advertise affiliations (political or otherwise) with bumper stickers, window stickers, tailgate wrappers, bed flags, etc. When I was looking for a Honda Accord my own brother pushed me to get a truck instead because it aligned more with "who I was as a man." Needless to say I rolled my eyes out of my head and bought my Honda Accord.

And, with Tesla. Many EV adopters I know get satisfaction from not needing/burning gas - it's why you get an EV. Very often part of that satisfaction is that they're choosing a more environmentally sustainable option, and there's a correlation with climate politics there.

---

In my anecdotal lived experience, and with my limited understanding of automotive history, I really think there's a correlation with what car you drive and what your ideologies are, political or otherwise.

I think that any prudent CEO (or hell any other employee) would publicly shut the hell up right now. Part of Tesla's success is people ideologically hitching themselves to the EV bandwagon (and subsequently Musk). And, I think Musk getting spicy in the public forum is a bad thing for this all around... and apparently so do the shareholders.
Okay, that's twice you've taken the easy response and ignored the actual meat of critique. I think that's indicator enough that you're unserious.
Apologies for not being clear. I was being fairly serious --- if we could actually prevent predatory mining practices that would actually be a huge win, and it would also be great if cell phones (and specifically smart phones) were no long ubiquitous.
Mh, allow me a question; let's say almost all offices would be abandoned and converted to residential buildings: who will reside there?

Modern cities have economy of scale as main reason to exists. Most western word is evolved toward tertiary sector, most cities have experienced such trend more than the rest of the country. Cities still have some social purposes of course, being many means meet more people to select as friends, partner, have some services that are unlikely in the countryside etc but the main raison d'être was economy of scale.

Without offices who need much of restaurants, health-related services, shopping malls etc? Here (EU) it's a not-that-recent trend that large malls, supermarket etc disappear or suffer and get split in more smaller instances spread in the territory BUT even if we do so WHO will reside in cities?

Who want to live in an apartment instead of a home to WFH anyway, also counting the fact that many services will closed in cities due to lack of office workers?
There might be more to it, but it sure seems like not. There’s been a boom in EV demand every time gas has gone up, and it’s fallen off when prices drop. This used to happen with hybrids too, same cadence.
Wouldn't it be much easier to disable/restrict certain sql functions than do all of the http->sql mapping?
Thanks, I've actually looked at that a bit (though there seem to be some recent additions I hadn't seen). It seems like a somewhat different experience. With the Latin version there seems to be enough vocabulary overlap that I, knowing only English and French, could pretty much follow along with very little help. I guess there's less vocabulary overlap between English and Sanskrit so it's a bit harder. It's very good to have the web interface where you can click on a word to get the translation. One thing that would be nice to have, since I'm also learning devanagari, would be to have the popup include the romanized text when the main script is set to devanagari.

It's tough to quantify the knowledge levels, but, I'd say that a practical understanding of bash loops, piping, grepping, and 'cut' ing text. Is a good start for basic dev work.

I've seen hours wasted writing jankey one off c++ utils, for lack of knowing that grep/awk exist.

Being able to tail a dev log and filter it for errors is also a part of seasoned developer competence too, I'd say.
