Do you have some kind of similar study that doesn't come out of the Republican Party? Maybe something a little more non-partisan?

An example of the flaws of this argument/article is how Social Security is self-funded, and not in any financial jeopardy on its own. [1] Some of the other entitlement programs on the list also work that way.

Regardless, my understanding is that a government's budget never has to be balanced. It doesn't operate like a family household. Oftentimes, national debt is used for pursuits that return on their investment, just like how startup companies operate at a deficit on purpose to prioritize growth that will make the company more valuable in the long term. Inflation also lessens the value of the national debt over time.

I quite like one of those options: taxes on the wealthy and ultra-wealthy have a lot of room to rise. Jack them up, billionaires shouldn't exist, and people like Jeff Bezos shouldn't have a single-digit tax rate.

The other part would be looking at government inefficiencies and flawed policies that aren't on your list, the kind that result in wasted spending that's hard to demonstrate tangibly. For example, should we not talk about how suburban development and the interstate highway system is a monetary drain on wealth for the majority of the country?

It's really obvious to me how building more sewer, road, and utilities per person and forcing everyone to own one car per capita or more is a dumb waste of money on a national level. Our government on every level plays a heavy hand in subsidizing that development pattern.

It would be really easy to afford my tax rate increasing to a much higher level if I wasn't forced to own more than one car just to get myself to work. It would also be easier for me to afford housing if a bunch of single family home owners weren't preventing dense housing from being built, and then all that extra money I saved could go toward something more economically productive than a parking lot.

The average American spends somewhere between $5,000 to $10,000 per vehicle annually. Imagine a USA where everyone could go down to one car per family and how the rest of that money could be used.

But no, instead let's add one more lane and make our retirees work until they're 85 rather than fixing our structural problems that make America a very expensive and energy-wasteful place to live.

Because, when you think about it, national wealth is basically access to energy, and America is squandering their own wealth by dumping it into their GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate that gets 14MPG.

I don't understand why there's a temptation to jump to the conclusion that the answer is to make people retire later in life or cut safety net programs, which are often investments with ROI (e.g., hungry kids learn poorly, hungry kids result in reduced workforce education and productivity).

Are 70 year old employees particularly productive for the economy in the first place? It seems like there are smarter ways to save wealth or earn more wealth for the nation.

Quite the contrary: nuclear reactors are essentially housed in bunkers. There was much fretting about the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant during war, but if anything it demonstrates the resiliency of nuclear facilities.
I think the problem with this take is that even though he's "shaking up" corporate culture, it's not, like, in a good way. Just randomness. More fun for the public to watch but I don't think we have many signs that any results are good.

I would be very curious to see how well this actually works in different data centers. My understanding of empd is that it basically expects all nodes will be on the same switch. I don't believe there is any default handling for spikes in latency or netsplits, and epmd is known to be pretty chatty.

The common wisdom seems to be to do federation of clusters rather than clustering multiple data centers together.
If I scale up to saturate the database CPU...by doing data retrieval? Setting aside my skepticism about saturating the CPU with mere data retrieval, how is that solved by moving the data to another host's CPU, when moving the data involves the very data retrieval that's saturating the database's CPU?
It also rules out using most C extensions which rely on it. These libraries are most of the draw of the Python ecosystem

Is there any business, however benevolent, that offers even 1% of the "immediately gratifying alternatives to actually working" to its 18- to 25-year-old employees that a trendy modern college campus does? With never a bothersome manager around, to suggest that working a bit might be wiser than spending yet another long day enjoying the amenities?

I didn't think so.
I still feel that discontinuing SMS support was misguided, but I need to give Signal kudos for adding functionality to transfer your SMS history back to your phone, so that your messages won't get trapped into their app.

> As a programmer, you learn to blame your code first, second, and third... and somewhere around 10,000th you blame the compiler. Well down the list after that, you blame the hardware.

So, first - in many settings, the hardware is more likely to be the source of the problem than your compiler; the question is what has more churn - the compiler code or the chip you run on.

But regardless - the compiler is much higher than the 10,000'th item on the blame list. Even mature, popular compilers have bugs! Hell, they have many known, open bugs! The subtle ones, which don't manifest easily, can stay open for quite a long time. See:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/

and:

https://bugs.llvm.org/

I personally have encountered and even filed several of them, and it's not like I was trying. Some of these were even the result of "Why does my code not work?" questions on StackOverflow.

One tip, though: Play one compiler against another when you begin suspecting your compiler, or the hardware. The buggy behavior will often be different. And of course run multiple times to check for variation in behavior, like the author had.
My kid is 4 and plays a few specific games that I allow. He loves ”fire boy & water girl” for example, and he used to play Super Mario Run but it was not turning well so I cut that. Sometimes we play SNES Mario games together but he usually finds them too hard. Also some Mario Kart on emulators, and some Minecraft.
Hm take it with a grain of salt, but I'm not really a fan of Helm. It might make sense in some bigger corps where you have something like "Platform" teams with dozens of consuming teams to consolidate and version some kind of service. But I lack trust and frequently same-mindedness with Helm chart authors on how to deploy and configure certain things such that I'll use my own thingy anyway.

I forgot to mention the CD tools we have, e.g. Flux or ArgoCD. Use customize to render a "final" yaml for your env/version/whatever and throw it at Flux/Argo (e.g. using GitOps) and be happy. That's imho the Kubernetes way of life.
The French have the same problems of loss of engineering capability. They built many reactors of the same design during the Messmer plan, but haven't had to build new reactors in a long time. The fact that nuclear plants are so long-lived is a huge strength: they are among the cheapest forms of green energy if they are allowed to serve the entirety of their service life. But because they last so long, if you build a bunch of them there's no reason to build more for half a century.
Yeah, title made me think kube-spray
> this tells me some... awkward things about how the author relates to their kitchen.

Awkward? What awkward things does it tell you?

I think that all it tells you is that you are different people. It also invalidates his assertion that "nobody need..." -- which is hyperbole anyhow. Any time someone says "everybody" or "nobody" or other universal qualifiers, the statement is guaranteed to be technically incorrect.

You are precisely the sort of person who could use a fast dishwasher, after all.

Similar experience here. Came from Mint, tried it out fully expecting to go back to Mint. I'm still on Zorin :)

On an XPS 13" I experienced subtle input lag, but I switched to xanmod kernel and everything smoothed right up.

I still donate to Mint because I think it's great.

One other thing: With Mint, I used to spend time on their discord reading stuff from other Mint users. I have no idea if Zorin has any kind of community forum or discord, and I haven't looked. It feels spooky, like this distro just fell out of the sky and works great. I wonder if their most common customers are companies / governments / public services?
Files can be immutable, cryptographically-verifiable, and distributed across servers without a blockchain.

Adding a blockchain to this would slow things down, add surface area for errors, and provide absolutely no value. This is true of every usage of blockchain other than creating tokens.
Also compared to EMC storage. I haven't used since 2015, but they were very, very proud of their storage tools.
Construct was not the correct word. The intention was to express that you do need to parse the object into something more specific that captures the properties that you require.

Take for example APIGatewayProxyEvent [1], which has a property `queryStringParameters` with type:

export interface APIGatewayProxyEventQueryStringParameters {
[name: string]: string | undefined;
}

You can then create a branded type like

type AuthCodeEvent = APIGatewayProxyEvent & {
queryStringParameters: {
code: string;
state: string;
};
};

The branded type here means that as soon as you verify that the event has that structure above, and you can assume that it is correct in the code handles these specific cases.

Though as the blog author mentioned in the other chain, the TS compiler is not particularly sound, so it's probably entirely possible to mess the structure and break the type without the compiler knowing about it.

I totally agree that it is not for everybody, but I think there is a place for it and think there should be fewer barriers .

I've seen a few people quoted more than 500K for PG&E to run power to their house. That can buy a lot of redundancy and peace of mind. Similarly, many cities have power outages longer than 24 hours on an annual basis in California. At this point most people in my neighborhood have gas generators for when the grid goes out.
We're getting to the point of fitting (a lot of) the internet on a small portable black box a la the IT Crowd.

I feel like pointing out that stadiums and airports are single buildings that in the grand scheme of things aren't nearly as common or large as a country's (or even a single state's) worth of power plants, highways/rail networks, or housing for the masses.

Airports can be complex, and of course chip fabs are an overwhelming case of quality over quantity, so in conclusion you're definitely right on the "hard" count still being accomplished, but I notice a particular gap missing here on "big".
Didn’t he argue for full transparency both ways? That didn’t seem likely even then (even if I like his essay).
I agree, in theory :)

But I’m happy you say that and gives me hope our future automated remediation suggestion can be easily adopted.
Data plane and control plane are definitely a thing in real physical systems- look at a classical router, where the packet processor works independently of, and is occasionally programmed by, or assisted by, a message passing from the data plane to the control plane. That control plane is typical elsewhere on the main board, talking to the data plane through a well-specific protocol.

Google's network is complicated, making many assumptions about "what is prod" etc hard to reason about.

I mean yes? There are tons of big projects getting built in the US. Now, I'm not sure about the actual "ratios" compared to the 80s and earlier. So there might be less big infra projects nowadays (but I think that's also true for most of the west). Costs are also creeping up, and delays are maybe more common. Yet the fact remains that there are huge infra projects all around the US, they just don't really make headlines in the national news cycle because they are (sadly) just inherently boring for most of the population. Unless there is some drama around costs or delays, that is.
category theory is 'native 2-dimensional' math. i.e. category theory explains everything in terms of graphs, where a graph is made from two different sorts of 'entities', nodes and vertices i.e. categories and morphisms

this being math, I wonder to which extent can category theory be re-expressed in terms of sets.

perhaps a better question is if category theory can be re-expressed (or founded on) functions?

lastly, I wonder if category theory can be expressed in terms of functions (i think maybe it can, without sets?) why shouldn't it be expressible in terms of sets (for some reason I don't think just sets are sufficient, may have to define functions (which possible in terms of sets) before 'expressing' categories starting with set theory)?
I helped my mom install Zoom on a Macbook the other day. I typed "zoom download" or something into Google, mindlessly clicked the first link before seeing it was some garbage domain that was certainly not interested in simply helping me install Zoom.

How does this generally work? I've played with openai's API and I can send it questions and get answers. Is this app just parsing new additions to commits and passing in the whole code block as a prompt, with an additional line saying "please review this code"?

Additionally, how is this app able to handle so many potential requests to openai? Are they already paying for a bunch of tokens in anticipation? Or do you pay for how many tokens used per month? (The openai pricing is a little confusing since there's so much you can do.)

Thanks for any insight

I’m not at all convinced that exterior insulation would have lower labor cost. You have to competently install sheets of rigid insulation, and then you need to competently install siding over it.

Insulating cavities needs some skilled labor if you use mineral wool, but a skilled installer goes fast. Or you can use some kind of blown in product, which takes very little labor. (I have never seen competently installed fiberglass batts. I’m not sure they really exist.)
You're welcome to do that, and it's something some off grid systems use, but the energy storage in that sort of thing is fairly poor. Go do the math on it, but you'll find a 55 gallon drum of water, from "room temperature" to "really darn hot" holds 15-20kWh of energy. It's useful, but not a staggeringly large amount for a typical house, that can easily use more than that on a single day's heating.

Thermal mass storage requires a lot of mass to do anything useful, or the ability to run exceedingly high temperatures. Or a phase change. Molten salt storage can store a lot of energy, but you're at "very hazardously hot" temperatures with "stuff that's mind-bogglingly corrosive when hazardously hot." It's not the sort of thing most people would want to mess with at home. Myself included, and my tolerance for experimentation is pretty darn high.

You make an important point, but I understood the parent as, "what is the smallest integer expressible as the sum of two cubes of Cayley-Dickson algebras of order n?"

So you're allowed to use complex/quaternions etc. in the cubes, but the number has to come from those well-ordered integers.

That would be true if Rust was a perfect language, but it isn't (no language is).

Yeah, amiibo content is definitely on the exploitative side. Most of the things you get with it in games like The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild should have been available in the base game, and it irritates me that quality of life features in games like Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda Skyward Sword are locked away in the same way.
