Isn’t this an issue of mandating the means and not the ends?

If the regulations said banks had to be secure by ‘taking all due care’ and follow ‘best practices’ and such, this wouldn’t be such an issue. That gives room for improvements and for problematic standards to be weeded out over time.

It sounds like the government instead said banks had to be secure by using (for example) SSL 1.0 with a 64-bit key. Because the specified the exact how, that’s what banks did. And when that how was broken the law wasn’t changed, so banks still do the old thing.

And when the old thing (Active-X) stopped working they invented new ways to do the old thing with local proxies. Because the law says they must and are safe if they do.

This is the danger of legislating an exact how. It may be the right thing sometimes, but it can also go sideways.

I started migrating my projects from Dokku to fly 4 months ago. It’s going great.

For new projects, I default to SQLite with Litestream. The only non-fly.io component I need is an S3 bucket.

The DX of the CLI and the config file are quiet good. Once an app is live with proper health checks, I find it quiet hard to take the app down by accident. They stage secret changes for instance.

I find the pricing to be straightforward and fair.

A week ago there was an issue with certificates, which they fixed in a few hours.
More importantly is what functional languages leave out or restrict. Imperative languages can add functional language features, but functional purity is not enforced, the full benefit of functional programming is not realized.
1. Because you don't shrink uniformly. Shrinkage is unevenly distributed over the age groups. In simpler terms, you will have a shrunk society with a lot of old people and very few young ones. Who will run the society in that case? TFA talks about a specific instance of that problem in detail, but also provides useful overall stats where profitable businesses are shuttering down only because there are no humans to run them.

2. This shrinking will be painful as our current structure relies on young caring for old, either directly as part of families or indirectly via tax-funded social programs. If there are not enough young people to pay taxes for the welfare, what should we do about the old ones? Let them die? Let them rot away in loneliness[1]? Force them to work till they die[2]? Or nudge them towards euthanasia like Canada does[3]?

How so? If functionality A is critical to functionality B, how will wrapping it in an HTTP call (microservices) reduce the damage from breaking functionality A?

I can see an advantage regarding resource hogging, but the flip side is the extra point of failure of network calls in microservices.

Not saying which is better, but deployment is orthogonal to logical dependence and correctness.
You're thinking of the decibels as measured from the exterior, but this likely refers to the decibels as measured at the point of constructive interference of the waveform in the chamber - ie the method of action of this heat pump. Those decibels then turn into heat, not exterior sound.

It's a really cool application of the ideal gas law: PV = nRT where the sound is really playing with the pressure (P) using sound so various parts of the chamber have different temperatures (T).
To me, price increase is a good proxy for growth and I believe in both BTC and ETH to appreciate more than S&P500 over the next 10 years.

Sure, but you don't ignore your core audience to attract other users.

Valve built the Steam Deck knowing very well that their core users will be PC gamers and not console gamers. The steam deck is made as open as a pc, with functionality to jump back-and-forth between that and a pc (dynamic cloud sync).

Console gamers will come, but you don't ignore the people that are at the core of your business.

My Quest 2 is 99% used to play 5 on 5 Onward VR. To all you Onward PC users, my apologies. I thought I was done with video games but it's fantastic. The experience reminds of showing up to public basketball courts during the summer. You get on a team with some random people. Sometimes you're the best on the court, sometimes you're the worst. By I love the Quest 2 and would replace it if my got broken simply to keep playing Onward.

To clarify here, this is just public key cryptography using ECDSA signing keys to verify an identity.

Whilst it is blockchain-adjacent it does not use a blockchain for identity verification, it just checks the owner has access to a particular private key.
How is it very different from NodeJS? Cause I find npm way easier to deal with than Python packaging, and it's also dealing with native code. I used Python heavily for 6 years and still have no idea how the packages work as a user trying to install libs; I used to just thrash around till it works. I don't use it anymore at my new job.

The one thing I understand is npm installs everything locally by default (unless you -g), and in Python it's hard to stay local even if you use a venv.
There is a rather toxic political tone running through the article which really puts me off. Just one of the examples is they refer to Elon Musk as wanting to populate Mars with "subsistence farming incels", which is just a down-right stupid thing to say and spoils what could have been a very insightful read.

On a similar theme, calling those who support humans going to mars as being part of some Elon Musk-led culty "mars religion" is totally preposterous. There's a reek of "Everyone who disagrees with me doesn't have the truth'n'facts and have actually just tricked themselves into believing a religion".

Musk Derangement Syndrome is strong.

I actually support a lot of their statements though, e.g. about the rather silly lunar gateway that seems to have very little actual financial logic to it. It's just a shame.
My parents neighborhood is coming up on 25 years old and they are having to replace the layers under the roof tiles. The tiles themselves will probably last a thousand years but the under layer has a lifetime. They pull off the tiles, replace the waterproof layer and put the tiles back on — apparently takes just a couple days and they get better nails so the tiles don’t fall off during the windy monsoons.

Howdy! I’m a full stack software engineer with several years experiences with the technologies and languages listed above. Recently I co-created an open source GraphQL tool that generates an instant GraphQL from a user's existing data sources and automates deployment to AWS. I have ample experience working with a remote team of software engineers from across multiple time zones. I consider myself a full stack software engineer, and am completely open to backend or frontend only roles also. I hope to hear from you soon!

Main problem is that companies not guilty of cutting off communication and, in effect, stealing from customers, get no favorable publicity.

When these happen, we should see posts from people using competitors saying, "we have problems at Z with frequency X that get resolved in time Y".
When I worked at a FAANG company I estimated that I needed to work around 60 hours a week to meet expectations. Nobody ever really talked about baselines like this because it makes the company look bad. Doesn't really help with imposter syndrome either. One of the founders mentioned a similar baseline during a fireside chat and I didn't feel so bad after that.

So, you could see what your baseline is, talk to peers (not HR), and see how the math falls out with whatever you want to spend your remaining time on.
I like this reply very much except that I wonder why people say that sports cars are uncomfortable. I find all the ones I've driven, including two mid-engined ones, super comfortable. Maybe it's just me. (In any case, your point that they're not space-efficient stands.)

Yeah no, that's social darwinism. If you follow that logic through, then only the ultra-conservative cultures that turn women into breeding machines and then relentlessly indoctrinate the next generation to do the same have a chance to survive.

I also don't quite get what exactly you're criticizing. Life has become too easy, which somehow in turn makes life unbearably hard for young men, so they rightfully escape and play videogames? And therefore we should all return to the good old times where a man could seek glory and purpose in war and then (of course) return home to his everloving wife and their 15 children?
If an accusation of sharecropping is legitimate, I think it's fair for the government to apply regulation and not just try to compete.
I fully agree with this sentiment and this is why I’m increasingly convinced that scripting languages (and any language that requires a VM which is not included in the platforms you deploy to) are wholly inappropriate for software which you distribute to non-developer end-users.

Nobody should ever have to be hit with obscure pip/virtualenv/pypy/etc bugs for trying to use your command line app. Nobody should have to suffer through an “installation” step that requires installing the language itself and running a language-provided package manager to install dependencies/etc. I don’t care how much you wrap it in a setup.sh that tries (and typically, fails miserably) to automate everything.

(For OS’s like linux, your distro-provided package managers make the situation slightly better, but only if you ship your app as a package using these distro’s built-in package systems, which is a huge pain if you want to support multiple distros.)

But if you opt to skip the package manager and want to ship a “simple” installation experience using something like a setup.sh, and you want to use a scripting language like python/ruby/etc (integrated with an installation of that language in $HOME or in some system directory), you’re treating your users to a world of pain. Please, please use a compiled language, and ship a binary (or collection of binaries/libraries that can sit in a folder together and just work when you run it.)

The fuel tank is partially empty most of the time when we drive, and many drivers never refill to the top of the tank, or don't put more fuel until the tank is almost empty. Those 100Kg could be on average 30 or 40Kg.

No, the FBI is not precluded from investigating cross-border crimes. They just have to work with their foreign counterparts on the investigation.

And the amounts cited are not below the FBI's interest threshold; the whole point of my comment is that their are probably other victims, which makes this a larger crime than just the OP's system and probably involves sophisticated or organized criminals. This makes it exactly the kind of crime the FBI loves to investigate.
I've never actually had one fail in service. My older one (which is actually a few months newer than my "newer" one which I got a couple of years ago) did over 100,000 miles with only fairly minor repairs, and is currently on 270,000 miles.

I'd drive either of them to any spot in the world. I'd carry tools and spares, but I'd still drive them there.
Paying a non-trivial portion of your engineers high salaries will kill any startup without unlimited money, regardless of what other guardrails you have in place.
If you’re interested in virtual monitors, and willing to be a bit ahem bleeding edge, try the NReal Air. They’re no replacement for a high quality 34” curved monitor but come kinda close to a nice 25” 1080p monitor IME.

They suffer the same issues as other VR solutions (focusing on fine text can be hard, it shakes on your head, etc). But unlike the Quest, you can set it to “Aircast” mode which basically replaces an VR/AR experience and turns the headset into a true “head mounted monitor” - which is different than their special software. I tried it with their virtual monitor software, and it’s unusable. If you move your head, it refreshes the monitor you’re viewing at like 2fps so it’s super jerky and not smooth.

It’s not good enough to replace a real stationary monitor for me yet, but it’s probably good enough for someone constantly on the go, or for airplane usage (extra privacy). They’re also far more comfortable than a Quest since they don’t have batteries or a processor built in.

I want to add that I think they shake more than the quest because you can’t strap it in tightly like you can with a quest and a hard strap
A small business owner will say he makes $400K profit a year, but wants to sell it for $2M (5 times $400K). What he doesn't tell you is that $400K includes his salary. As an owner, one needs to spend 60 hrs a week to run such a business. Here, $400k is just the salary for oneself to run that business. No profit left.

The people who have means to buy such a business (like the bay area tech people), don't want to buy such businesses, because there is no upside. The people who want to run such a business (say, a security guard working for Pinkerton), don't have the means to buy such a business.

I've been wanting to pull the ripcord on a marketplace platform, think a shopify for WP Maintenance services and freelancers, or an unbundling of fiverr's WP gigs marketplace. Basically some sort of service that merges tools like MainWP with dashboards, issues, kanban boards, feedback for managing clients, logins, hosting issues, etc. It just always seems to broad and scope to get started, and I personally kinda hate WP and would probably do it all in Laravel. I'd love to figure out how to do something like WP Maintenance but for legacy Laravel Apps, but I'm not sure there's a market fit for that.
I know what I'm doing and I have no idea how people can deal with gnome on a day to day basis. I can survive only with plugins and those break very often,sadly.

Unfortunately I'm too lazy to switch to KDE (way too much stuff is broken if you install it not from the start and I don't want to reinstall), so I stick to gnome on my work computer.

I really, really appreciated KDE customization and power user options (hidden but there). It is messy and the UI is worse at times, but it's way ahead.
I just got solar panels installed (in Berkeley, CA). I can confirm that this setup (you feed into the grid, and then get supply back from the grid) was the primary option suggested (it was possible to request and receive a self-contained "behind-the-meter" system, but was considered unusual)
Also just adding to my earlier reply (can't edit), none of it is "complex" relative to the complexity of some of the concepts in computer science or more brainy parts of complicated professional software development.
I didn't keep track of WebOS after I left Palm when it was acquired by HP. AFAIK there were some OG people still on it and some of the stack was still the same. I met one of the people at a Palm reunion many years later and he was complaining that PBNJSON was still in use. This was a significantly better / faster / more secure C++ JSON library I wrote (both had better test coverage and things like formal schema validation which wasn't a thing at that time for JSON). It was severely delayed in getting open-sourced and then it seems like no one really is invested in updating this part of WebOS, otherwise they would have replaced it with RapidJSON or even better Rust Serde or something like it.

As I said, today it's fine and AFAIK it's also on car infotaintment systems (the ARM ecosystem is way more mature with respect to web / JIT + much better supporting ecosystem). It's less clear to me if they still use a normal Linux ARM kernel or if they've switched to Android. The biggest problem with us not using Android is that Android sucked up all the oxygen and device vendors built Android instead of Linux drivers / provided binary blobs that only worked on Android. This increased costs because those drivers needed to be ported to normal Linux.

However, most (all?) of the really talented designers that pioneered WebOS got snapped up by Google and Apple. So did a lot of senior engineering talent (probably moreso by Google since a lot of them were already ex-Apple and not keen to return).

Thanks for the thoughtful reply.

> Given that the paper is from 1994, I'm wondering if there have been language changes that make this more achievable.

As the paper argues, it is not possible to make remote calls look like local ones. But it is trivially possible to make local calls look like remote ones! Use call-by-value parameter passing, and make all call asynchronous. The most successful solution I have heard of is Erlang's immutable-message-passing model.

It has been many years since I used it, but I think TOPLink Session and UnitOfWork interfaces threw exceptions signaling remote execution. This is like Erlang - you work with remote APIs; local execution is a special case.
Before we bought a house (in SF) we rented. My landlord was born in SF and owned his own home in Daly City. He inherited the house from his mom for free with a 200k tax base on a 1.1m home.

He owned a food truck that was grandfathered by SF - sometime in the 70s he parked on city property (the government area) and ended up squatting there so long the city let him stay. His closest competitors were two blocks away. You'd think that business would have premium value - no one can get a permit or permission to setup a similar business in that area and anyone working in the area had to walk several blocks to find competition. He parked the truck in his mom's garage in SF until we rented the house (free enclosed parking, with charging, water tap and drainage!)

Instead he retired and shut it down because no one would make enough money operating the business to want to take it over. Driving your food truck 2 hours every day was just not enticing and most people wouldn't be able to find a safe place to park the truck with electrical and water access.

The only people capable of operating that business were old people who bought their property cheap in the 60s/70s or children who inherited property for free.

It isn't always that no one wants the business... sometimes the personal economics make it impractical.
An alternative view of this is - Elon isn't a software engineer, so don't listen to him at all.

Well, I'm sure in future versions it will be a lot better. But my experience with my Meta Quest Pro is that it's more for getting a vague idea of your surroundings than just interacting with them.

For me, the only time I've seen it pop up is when I step out of my "zone". Rather than just flashing red, I get a vague understanding of where I'm standing and who's nearby. I've never had a problem with it at all, even though I acknowledge the picture isn't particularly great.

Why would we need to be able to specifically introduce favorable mutations rather than just induce random mutation and select for favorable ones?

We’ve been taking advantage of the latter with selective breeding for millennia and more recently through inducing random mutations with techniques such as irradiation the green revolution was quite famously kick started by new cultivars that where developed by irradiating seeds and selecting those which led to plants with favorable characteristics.
