If a LiteFS node is way behind on replication, can it let the app know when it's caught up?

What I'd like to do: have one Fly instance running and another in cold standby. On deploy, the cold instance boots, fails the health check until replication catches up, then takes over while the first instance goes cold.

AR repair stuff sounds really hard to get beyond what you can already get on YouTube--or just training in general. Auto repair is probably mostly constrained by a lot of the complicated edge cases and physical realities of rust and other environmental factors.
I think you might be misreading the word "high end"?

By "high end", the person you're replying to was (probably?) not referring to "luxury", but rather the "high end" of the affordability spectrum. i.e. technology that is cutting edge and hasn't yet reached economies of scale. The first iterations of each of those product lines were expensive to procure, which meant their initial margins were thinner and their initial prices were higher.

The "mass market" version of each of those products was not created until the second, third, or arguably fourth generation. Those generations are the ones where the price of components has come down, to the point where you start to see truly affordable options (iPhone SE, Airpods 2, Watch SE).

Apple's insight is that the R&D work required to produce "pro" versions of their hardware (as well as the work required to produce v1) of each product line improves the performance and cost structure of all the "lesser" versions.

They famously derive R&D budgets for gen X+1 as a function of projected profits from gen X and X-1. This connection to the "market" is a strong explanatory variable for the success of their R&D fly wheel since the iPhone. It's a major contrast against how their competitors have historically operated (cough Meta).
There are other battery-less headsets that exist, though. Plus, if Apple is just going to offload part of the device elsewhere, why not just put the processor in your hip too? Hell, why not just run it off a Mac Mini and a Thunderbolt cable? Going halfway with the cable-based headset seems like a recipe for redundancy.

It's largely irrelevant. Having walked around Manhattan and seeing people leaving trash out, garbage trucks are going to be overwhelmingly active on side streets and not the major thoroughfares. The potential charging time gained from overhead lines will be minimal. Furthermore, most garbage trucks have mechanisms to load and unload garbage which would prevent them from mounting trolley poles.
I was just answering the op's question why you would need a brighter TV. A 2000 nit TV would certainly be better in thrse situations, hence why someone would want one, answering ops question.

Also, you're way off on your units or something. Specifically built, very expensive digital signage lcd displays only go up to a max of 6000 nits, which is crazy high and results in a display that draws 20 amps at 220v. Source below, and I've designed them. A 65" display at 30k nits would draw more than a thousand amps at 220v, it just isn't true. 6k nits is the practical limit of a display like this. Even jumbotrons don't go to 30k nits.

The WAL is append-only so you don't risk data corruption (which is great).

I'm not sure this is true with all filesystems. I think there are some filesystems in which a crash during append can end up with the file enlarged, but the data not written (IIRC I saw something like this with XFS when I was working on a kernel module that kept crashing the kernel).
Maintaining a healthy weight is not that difficult FOR YOU. Many, many people struggle to control their weight. One day you might too.

I never had an issue with my weight until I had a thyroid infection around 30. I now have "normal" thyroid levels, but ever since then maintaining my weight take vigilance and lots of discipline. It's possible, but definitely "difficult".
Weight is not uncontrollable. It's not easy to control, but neither is any other addiction, and they're certainly stigmatized.
> raises everyone's healthcare cost, because it is incredibly unhealthy and obese people tend to have more complications which requires more treatment, workers and subsidizing.

Is that actually true? From what I understand, obesity will cost you dearly in life expectancy, and most of the cost comes in the last few years of normal life expectancy. Someone who dies of heart attack at 63 isn't going to run up huge bills from age 77 to 85.

I believe there was a similar calculation for smokers. The health cost in higher cancer rates are outweighed in what you save on costly treatment for the elderly + fewer pension payments.

"A typical Zátopek workout was 5×200, 20×400, 5×200 with 200m jogs in between. Over the years Zátopek increased his training load to include more and more repetitions getting up to 20×200, 40×400, 20×200 with 200 jogs for a workout."
This is very neat, but you are delving into a very complex world, as you are well aware. In your video, you have generated static server side pages, without any JS, where your annotated HTML uses the embedded go to generate static HTML.

This is much nicer syntactically than using the Go html/template engine, but it seems roughly equivalent in expressive power. Are you converting your "up" syntax into go templates with the Go expressions extracted into compiled Go code, referenced be the templates, out of curiosity? If so, the way you've transparently handled interleaving (such as html elements in the for loop) is really cool.

How would your go scripting interact with JS? For example, say that I have a backend API that the fronted calls into. In your design, would I call out into Go to perform the http request, or would I do this in JS? I'm sure both would work - since the Go request would be handled server side and simply slow down static page generation, but it seems like calling into Go might not be the right thing to do for a more responsive AJAX app. Do you envision mixing Up/JS in the same pages? Can I do crazy stuff like use JS to insert a variable (by value probably) into your Go code, or vice versa?

Over the years, I've learned that web front ends are positively bonkers in the kinds of things they want to do, and when you are the developer of any kind of frameworks, you end up suffering greatly if you insert yourself into middle of that ecosystem, since you will be asked to support features that you never dreamed of. If you support them, the framework gets more use, if you don't, the cool kids move onto other things.

I've tried to tackle a much simpler problem with a project of my own [1], which is a backend server code generator to make implementing JSON models more easily from an OpenAPI spec, and I've found that even in this relatively simple concept, the limitations of a strictly, statically typed language like Go end up running into incredible complexity due to the dynamic nature of web frontends and JSON. Outside of trivial strings and numbers, you start running into the limits of the Go typing system.

Anyhow, good luck, this is very cool and it seems like a fun thing to play with.

I can relate a lot to what you said.

I practice piano (jazz improvisation), and I have mix of love and hate with practicing.

You basically spent lots of energy for little to no improvement at all lol, playing scales, arpeggios, etc.

And if you stay like 1 month without practicing you waste a lot of time trying to go back where you stopped.

It's like trying to go up an escalator that's going down, if you stop you come back to point 0.
You pay for something; that's not a subsidy.
Group negotiating power.

Tax implications (maybe - not sure how the credits/deductions work today).
The point is that you could gain back the original weight plus more. Most adults who become obese have not increased their number of fat cells - their fat cells just become larger.

The GLP-1 drugs literally increase the number of fat cells.
It's all connected. More demand = more supply, even if not immediate. SM building more Arm servers does actually matter for bigger Arm production/availability.
I would suppose that the top-tier symphonies pay pretty well -- but making the cut there is probably the equivalent of a basketball player making the NBA.
> There are many obese people who are extremely healthy

I don't think that's true. However, some people can withstand bad diets. As an example, I had a morbidly obese uncle that ate copious quantities of bacon, white bread, and processed food, yet his blood work and lipid levels were always in the healthy range, which always surprised my family (my mother managed a clinical lab and did the bloodwork for my uncle).

My uncle eventually passed away after he became crippled after a bathroom fall due to his weight. He became depressed and committed suicide (he was a physician and had access to morphine). Overweight is always a health risk, even if your bloodwork is ok.
Oh, for sure. I'm just saying that in cloud environments the "power cut off" scenario is more common than it looks. :)
> I can’t imagine anyone buying a $3000 headset for “videoconferencing” as the killer feature.

Believe it. "Social presence"[0], the feeling of actually being in the room with another human being, is a very real phenomenon. Its influences are things like gaze following, head movements, hand gestures-- things flatscreen video chat has not and likely will never be able to capture veridically. Its impacts are things like empathy, affinity, trust-- things you very much care about when money is at stake.

To be excessively glib, social presence is why deals are still being won by the firmer handshake, not the better term sheet.

Can Apple deliver this today? Who knows. No one's done it outside of a lab before. But if they can, this isn't competing with video chat-- it's competing with airplanes. And if they can, $3000 is an unbeatable price.

My son started cello at four, at a local music school for kids. Preucil School of Music

He's still playing at 29. Still sounds good. Still enjoying it.

He played simple songs at first, then more complicated ones. They were appropriate for where he was at, and he was happy to play them.

They taught by ear, didn't read music for years. So he could work on sounding good from the start.

Something he learned early was deliberate practice, where you go very slowly thru the song making sure each phrase sounds good. Then you speed it up and string the phrases together. In a few days you're playing full speed and sounding good.

See, you never want to practice playing it badly. That trains you into playing bad music, and you have to undo the damage you just did to yourself.

Prior to the 20th century, it was pretty routine for average people to have inadequate access to nutrition. The rise in obesity corresponded with sweeping changed in agricultural policy that backstopped the prices of staple foods with subsidies and improved land and water management to prevent dust bowls. The result is everybody has enough food available cheaply all the time. Rolling any of that back is likely to replace obesity with malnutrition which is a much worse problem. Pandemic years notwithstanding, life expectancy has increased almost hand-in-hand with obesity rates. Obviously that's correlation, not causation.
An improvement! At least this advice isn't in whiny, woe-is-me fairy tale format.
It’s about

- matching content to interests. I took classical guitar, my guitar teacher realized I was really into blues (way into very capable rock guitar), so I learned classical for the theory and enjoyment of pieces e2e, and blues for a significantly growing interest as a “rock kid.” The more solid electric guitar I learned, the more I realized the classical background was making me good, and it played back and forth like that and I took music lessons until I went to college.

- I think bands are a big part of why kids stick with music. The happiest times in my life growing up were the 2 hr jams after school. Option to find bar bands is what keeps me playing as an adult as well. I don’t know if high school bands are still out there with all the tech now? Def curious.

It all paid off - I landed in tech somewhat bc DS&A and OOD == music scales and chord progressions, programming == creativity with known safe bounds like like in music. And I can find bands to play with until I’m old.

>Why is the JavaScript ecosystem like this?

Because it's the product of a collaboration between ~1M beginner programmers, 100k intermediates, and 10k experts. Because the language and runtime are "mushy" - aka "under-constrained", which allows for all the ideas to flourish, even the "bad" ones.

It's a mess, but a glorious one. JS is the first language to really solve the distribution problem, and to some degree it's design (or lack thereof) reflects the trade-offs required to hit the distribution problem out of the park. In hindsight, it was bound to turn out this way!

IMHO the single worst thing about js is the front-end build experience. It's so nice to write build-less front-end! And yet (most of) the community seems obsessed with WebPack and inventing new transpiled languages etc. It's really bad! Not only is it a far, far worse DX but it breaks the thing that makes the web cool, that you can "view source" and figure out how other people made stuff.

> We’d do the same expansionist thing

Mexico is kind of shitty yet the US hasn't invaded. Cuba is straight up hostile, yet there they are, an independent country. The US basically conquered parts of Germany, Italy and Japan and not only let them be independent countries, even helped them rebuild.

No, your theory is shit. The US has had all the opportunity to expand yet hasn't.

I was in Europe during the Iraq war, sentiment was pretty anti-American. I'm in Europe today, it's more pro-American than I ever could have imagined. More anti-Russian than ever.

If Russia and China wanted less hostile neighbours, maybe they should have been less shitty. Ukraine has been very pro-Russian at times, Zelenskiy himself even tried to make peace (he was the "pro-Russian" candidate during his election if you didn't follow Ukrainian elections regularly). Taiwan used to believe in "one country, two systems" but China fucked HK.

I'm in Czech Republic right now, used to be part of the Warsaw pact. Yet the frontrunner in the presidential election is a former Chair of the NATO military committee and all the politicians who were previously friendly to Russia have disavowed. There's Ukrainian flags everywhere and Russians are banned from getting visas here. Despite the refugee and energy crisis I've never seen a more anti-Russian sentiment.
Even Karlovy Vary, which used to have a ton of Russian tourists, has no sign of Russia anywhere. No tourists, no flags, nothing. Just yellow and blue flags everywhere.

No, they're really not. Maybe at some startups, but large organizations have too much to lose by allowing random software to be installed instead of a single suite like microsoft provides.

Manhattan used to have hundreds of miles of street level trolley - but mostly powered by underground center third rail because overhead wires just didn't work with the density of lines and equipment.

It would be nice to have a better understanding on what generates qualia. For example, for humans, learning a new language is quite painful and concious process, but eventually, speaking it becomes efortless and does not really involve any qualia - words just kinda appear to match what you want to express.

The same distinction may appear in neural nets.
ITAR products most certainly sourced components from China. Yes, cutting edge image sensors and GPS modules aren't made in China. But if you waved a wand and made every Chinese-made component disappear a lot of ITAR products would stop working.
I think this is deeply wrong, and it externalizes the impetus for practice.

I'm good at math not because some teacher in my youth made it fun. I'm good at math because I found the pedagogy and practice of it fun in and of itself. In fact, I've almost always found every attempt to "make math fun" to invariably be devoid of any real math content. If you don't enjoy the practice and struggle and discovery, and get motivation only from those rare, occasional breakthroughs in understanding or skill, you're not going to be good at it. Full stop. Sorry, that's not how the world works.

For one, it's a value judgement, and the mind that makes it more often than not applies the same judgements to oneself, leading to feelings that not everyone can convert to constructive action. Hence avoidance by addictions, one of which can be food.

Also it implies disrespect and ignorance of the reasons why someone eats more than is considered healthy. It's a mockery of a person's perceived failure to adapt to abstract adversity. And someone who had psychological issues with addiction and dealt with them would be very unlikely to mock these things.
