I don’t know much about it; that’s why I asked the question.

So the short answer is I have no idea, but I doubt we currently live in the best of all possible worlds.

It seems an odd pricing scheme which isn’t working well as gas becomes less desirable and renewables are a bigger part of the mix.

What you describe as paying at the bid price sounds like a free market to me - if you’re going to have a market mechanism perhaps it should use the market to efficiently discover prices, not impose a very odd pricing structure - if imposing nationwide prices, why have a market at all?

There are many possible alternatives:

Allow prices to float in a completely free market, and force suppliers to hedge (which they do anyway to some extent, but they could be required to).

Nationalise the national grid and energy production

Build interconnects and hydro storage to reduce reliance on gas plants and reduce the problem.

Set prices in regional markets to bring production closer to the areas with peak consumption.

Set prices by energy type (separate markets per type like fusion solar etc taking into account externalities).

Set prices by energy use (baseload, fluctuating, peak)

Defining pricing mechanisms is not robbery it is why we have a regulator!
That's more than 40%. In fact that's more than 50%.

> All signs for the rest of the world point to the opposite conclusion: unless you're Google-scale, you don't have Google level resources. Google has more engineers working on developer experience than most companies will ever have period.

I feel like this was true ~5 years ago, but these days the tooling around scaling monorepos is safely supporting O(100) developers without a lot of overhead.

> And monorepos work best when workflows are carefully thought out with clever application specific tooling.

I don't see any meaningful distinction with how well thought out workflows need to be between mono and polyrepo.
This is a tool (like ngrok, or inlets, or sish etc) for easily opening a port on your local computer to the public internet.

So, for example, if you are hosting a web server locally on port 8080, you could ssh to a service like this, and then it would give you back a link such as h59dke4.example.com.

All traffic that goes to h59dke4.example.com:80 will actually be routed to your 127.0.0.1:8080

Movies are hitting streaming a month or less after hitting theaters nowadays, DVD's used to take a lot lot longer than that to come out after the theatrical run.

So yes, it is different.

People have been complaining about the cost of going to the cinema for years, it's not a new complaint, I don't think it explains why behavior suddenly changed this year. I think Streaming with its massive quantity of content does, you won't have to wait long for a movie you're kind of interested to be available and there's plenty to watch in the meantime.

> a 4 year degree became a de-facto requirement for almost all well-paying careers.

Which is the real problem. The U.S. sent a man to the moon with a work force that was just 8% college graduates. Do most people really need a college degree today, or is it just useless and very expensive gatekeeping? Why does a receptionist need a college degree? Even many white-collar jobs that involve working with computers could probably be done on an apprenticeship model. Does doing online marketing really require a 4-year degree when being a nurse or an HVAC technician doesn't?

In the case of Spring what I wanted was adequate dependency injection.

I was dealing with having to support releases across multiple historical branches, and wanted to separate the core and business logic to allow for easier support on the older branches.

I needed the dependency injection in order to break up cyclic dependencies across modules (without which the core and client logic could not be broken into separate repositories).

Internally, the deployment tooling treated the profile as hierarchical; when I took over the project it was already using dynamically generated keys to store trees of data in the .properties files it was using for user profiles.

It only became more hierarchical as time went on and the internal representation fully so - using a tree structure internally allowed for very clean subtree selects (which helped to clean up an entire class of bug, introduced on mass, during a particulary ill advised (and strongly advised against) piece of work (completed (despite being given without notice) in a single iteration - when it really needed at least 2).

I would still have preferred to use an external format that allowed me to specify or generate schemas for the user profiles, and it also would have helped with supporting profile versioning (which would have been valuable for company internal users).
My primitive understanding is that every dollar in circulation is borrowed from the fed and needs to be paid back with interest and that the only source of new dollars is borrowing them from the fed by way of the treasury selling bonds to the fed. If I am not missing anything (I’m guessing I must be) then wouldn’t the only possible outcome be that the nation goes into perpetually greater debt to the fed?
This is great start but most enterprises will NOT want to send their data to OpenAI or any third party AI cloud. Since this solution require an OpenAI key I assume internal data will be send to OpenAI. Please let me know if my understanding is wrong.

What's even crazier is that those civilizations could have built and advanced for a 100 million years and we would never know about it because they are so far away. The light from Canis Major, our closest galactic neighbor, is older than our civilization (25,000 years). The average distance between galaxies is 1 million light years. For all we know, there have been billions of civilizations that have lasted longer than the lifetime of our solar system and we haven't even seen the light from them yet.

The universe is huge!
With a goggles-style form factor, I am not sure - but I think you are spot on as the size shrinks.
Yes, this will be interesting to see. This is the SQL/PGQ extension that's coming in 2023. On the one hand, as I articulate in my post, GDBMSs are based on relational principles, so building a system that can seamlessly query in relational and graph model is a good idea. On the other hand, there is this: (1) no SQL extension into a graph-based model has been successful historically (e.g., into RDF or XML or even json). That seems to confuse users, so sticking to a single model seems like a good idea. (2) RDBMSs that implement SQL/PGQ will not be very performant unless they change their cores with several techniques I and my research group has been advocating for (e.g., how to do predefined joins, worst-case optimal joins, factorization etc.).

One of the core developers of Kùzu, Guodong Jin, actually wrote his PhD thesis on a project called GRainDB, which showed how to integrate predefined joins into DuckDB, so an RDBMS can be made efficient on "graph workloads". He did this excellent work: https://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol15/p1011-jin.pdf, https://www.cidrdb.org/cidr2022/papers/p57-jin.pdf, which articulates a good plan for how RDBMSs can be efficient in a mixed relational-graph model.

Well, it'll be very interesting to see where SQL/PGQ goes...
the last thing that the COAL industry is concerned with is the workers, why mention it? It diverts the topic by exploiting the natural concern of most people for other people, instead of addressing the economics and authority in jeopardy with change. If there are "billionaires" based on IP valuation, why isnt a slice of that money applied ? because Coal Barons, their investors and clique, and that simple question of who runs the show. Coal is a blight on the face of the modern world and there are few excuses at this point.

Gravitational attraction still dominates on even fairly large scales, and chemical bonds absolutely dominate over anything expansion could possibly do -- it would contribute an incredibly light force opposing any bonds. So no, we (and our galaxy) are in no danger of being inflated from the inside by space itself.
> Zig really needs some subset carved out and some stability guaranteed placed on that so that innovation can't only happen by the core team, but also by the community.

Your comment makes sense, but this is just not the model that we follow. I think the time for more contributions from the outside world will come (and the pkg manager is a big step in that direction), but when it comes to the core language it's a different story.

If you ran a newer CPU at the effective performance of a 9600k you could probably get away with a passive cooler.

A last-gen i5 mobile processor outperforms at 9600k with a 45W TDP.

People make a ton of noise about the efficiency of processors that are explicitly designed to be the hotrods of desktop computing: meanwhile we've also seen the bottom end get significantly faster over the years. Conversely, the floor for TDPs have barely risen.
Go has much stronger memory safety guarantees than C does. They aren't really comparable.

Yeah, we get fox, opossums and weasels here. The roosters do a good job of fussing their day up.

For the opossums, it's a stand off, the rooster just acts tough and makes a lot of noise so you can hopefully show up and scare it off. Weasels are annoying as they'll destroy eggs. Fox are particularly problematic though. They'll easily kill a rooster and are very quiet and conniving.
The ops engineer was probably trying to do you a favour / make it so you don't look ignorant and grumpy. Try to assume the best in people and their actions and your life will likely be better for it.

The more I stare at this "balance sheet", the less sense it makes. All the numbers are positive, but "total" is far less than the sum of the balances! What the hell is a "negative coin balance"? How does a "positive coin balance" differ from a "wallet balance"? And where does the assertion about customer margin "postion" (sic) being under US$250M come from?

There are electricity suppliers in the UK who offer prices linked to the wholesale price, including actually paying you to use electricity if the price goes negative. Quite useful for flexible loads such as EV charging!

Rewriting in Rust is not necessarily a good idea for any given project, and Google is almost certainly not going to be proactively rewriting large amounts of Chrome in Rust any more than Mozilla is.

The reason is that bugs exist primarily in new code, not code that has been untouched for a long time. While you may solve some latent memory issues by rewriting in Rust, you're likely to introduce new regressions as well which may be much worse. It makes much more sense to focus on writing your new code in the safe language and gradually migrate things only when they would require a substantial rewrite anyway.
If that's true that a company as big and established as Shopify can't afford to attract, onboard, and train ruby devs, it really feels like the beginning of the end for ruby.
To be blunt, that guy sounds like a dick.

This should have been a great learning opportunity, instead he took it as a personal attack.

I'm doubting his claim of 10 years experience. Someone with that much experience writing any sort of web code should know what a cross-site scripting vulnerability is, what can be done with it, and how to make sure it doesn't happen.

I've never used Fiverr before, but does it allow you to rate them? I'd drop a 1-star and comment that he reacted aggressively when you told him about a security vulnerability found in his code.
Anecdotally, as a developer I really appreciate a well-thought-out monorepo. All the code is there. You don't have to dig around anything legacy or outdated. Searching is a breeze and it's _fast_. Updating both simple and complex logic is equally easy. You don't need to somehow discover that some other repo uses the thing you changed. Everything has the same deployment process. The tests test the thing, as soon as you push it - instead of months down the line, when someone finds forgotten repo again and oh, it's never been tested with the new functionality in our main repos. Dependency hell doesn't really exist.

There seems to be more discipline around monorepos because they're collectively owned, whereas many repos across an org each become someone's baby, and practices diverge until teams in the _same company_ fork each others' repos because they don't get along.
Oh, and don't forget anything to do energy will have "use cases" that list everything we use electricity for, as-if we had never heard of lighting our homes with power delivered via a grid.

Well, there aren't "subrepos" … it's all one giant monorepo.

And … no? No, CI tools don't. There's generally not a tool that has the dependency graph, and it's typically not recorded. (Excepting bazel, which set out to solve this problem; lo and behold it was designed by a company with a monorepo, too.)

Some CI systems I've seen have half-assed attempts at it, such as "only run this CI step if the files given by this glob changed". But a.) it requires listing a transitive list of all globs that would apply to the current step, so it's not a good way to manage things and b.) every time I've seen this mis-feature, "change" is described as "in this commit"; that's incorrect. (I have base commit B, I push changes '1 and '2, for commit graph B - '1 - '2 ; CI detects for a step that the globbed files didn't change in '2, and ignores '1. The branch is green. I merge. The result merge commit 'M changes the union of files, so now the tests run, and the commit — now on HEAD — breaks the build. A subsequent unrelated commit M - '3 doesn't modify the relevant code; CI skips the tests and delivers a green result on a broken codebase. People erroneously think "problem fixed". I have seen this all play out in person, multiple times.)¹

(A "much easier" approach is to simply cache a single build step: you hash your inputs, and compute a cache keys; see if your output is cached. If yes use cache, if no build. Computing the cache key is the tricky part and risks that famous "top n problems in computer science … cache invalidation" quote.)

¹while I know how to compute better git diffs, the difference between the common ancestor, the result once the commit gets merged, etc. are subtle. Most devs are shockingly inexperience with git and don't even get this far into the problem, and CI system's insistence on only running on, e.g., "pushes" doesn't help.
Latter has a risk of attracting fanboys and detracting product engineers.

This is more common than you think. I have been pitched by these "lead gen" companies who will hire cheap contractors to use your founder/ceo account to send prospects messages as you to "scale lead gen". I declined.

So mindboggling that frankly I refuse to accept it.

The likelyhood that we'll figure this out in my lifetime is zero, but I simply can't comprehend a universe that accelerates without cause (dark energy) infinitely.

Just as we don't understand the root causes of dark energy, I believe it's just as logical to believe that something will eventually slow it down.

I have to believe that because only a cyclical theory of the universe makes sense to me. It's my faith, I suppose.

The more depressing part to me isn't that I'll never know, but rather it's entirely possible HUMANITY can never know, any more than an ant can know about General Relativity.

You had the wrong tools. It doesn't matter if you have a monorepo or not, you will need tools to manage your project.
