A specific Ec2 instance is always serving one customer max. And builds are highly cachable, so the ec2 instance has an EBS volume on it with a big cache that Earthly uses to prevent rework.

That instance is just sitting around waiting for gRPC requests that tell it to run another build. If it's idle for 30 minutes, it hibernates and then if another call comes back in a gRPC proxy wakes it back up.

I don't know if the wake up time increases per the size of the cache in memory, I can check with Brandon but its much faster starting up an instance cold, mainly because buildkit is designed for throughput and not a quick startup.

A company attempting to prevent the theft of their product on a platform rampant with piracy is capitalist greed? Improving their share value by stopping the theft of their product is capitalist greed? How about they incompetently implemented anti-piracy measures and paid for it with consumer backlash?

PC gamers want to run games on a platform open to piracy, and call it greed when companies try to stop the theft of their own work.

...And where is the government in all this by the way? Anti-piracy laws seem to be grossly ineffective as it is so widespread. Companies have to protect their own work as government sits by idle.

If the US were serious about climate change, I have no doubt we would move mountains tomorrow, but we absolutely are not serious. Sacrifice/compromise/responsibility aren't even part of the conversation.
A GPT blurb about what goes into a zero energy ready home:

>

There are several core technologies and products that go into creating a Zero Energy Ready Home. These include:

Advanced insulation materials: These materials are used to reduce heat loss and gain through walls, roofs, and floors. Examples of advanced insulation materials include spray foam insulation, rigid foam insulation, and blown-in cellulose insulation.

High-performance windows: These windows are designed to minimize heat loss and gain and to improve comfort and natural lighting. They typically have low-e coatings, multiple panes, and insulated frames.

Efficient heating, cooling, and ventilation systems: These systems use advanced technologies to reduce energy consumption and provide a comfortable indoor environment. Examples include geothermal heat pumps, air-source heat pumps, and energy recovery ventilation systems.

Solar panels: These panels are used to generate renewable energy and can be installed on the roof or integrated into the building envelope. They can provide enough energy to power the home and even send excess energy back to the grid.

Energy-efficient appliances and lighting: These products use less energy than conventional models and can help further reduce energy consumption in the home.

Building automation systems: These systems allow homeowners to control and monitor energy use and other home systems remotely, which can help optimize energy efficiency and comfort.

Producers of these products include a variety of companies, from large multinational corporations to smaller regional manufacturers. Some examples of companies that produce products for Zero Energy Ready Homes include Owens Corning and Johns Manville for insulation, Andersen and Marvin for windows, Carrier and Lennox for HVAC systems, SunPower and Tesla for solar panels, and Nest and Ecobee for smart thermostats. There are many other companies and products available, and choosing the right ones depends on factors such as climate, building design, and budget.

A 12oz bottle for my rare (these days) soda indulgence is usually about four ounces too many. Dunno how a 20-ouncer ever seemed like a single serving to me, but it did.

I think free soda refills in restaurants becoming normal in the 90s is an under-appreciated contributor to American health & diet problems. There were Big Gulps and such before that but giant 32+oz soda servings weren't as common as now (have you seen how huge the medium cup is at some fast food joints now?), and most folks had maybe two glasses of soda when eating at a restaurant, if they really liked soda. Suddenly, with free refills and a server constantly topping you off, it's almost natural to become accustomed to downing huge amounts of the stuff.

I expect the author of the article is polarized due to the pain inflicted by the bug, the unreasonable design decision that led to it (seems like the bug exists by design) and the fact that there’s not really a workaround that would prevent the problem from happening again.

The point is that it's never just "for advertising purposes". It stopped being about ads forever ago. The data that's collected about you "for advertising purposes" ends up being sold to (or just taken by) the government and it ends up in the hands of data brokers and from there it's used by many different groups of people for their own purposes.

Companies use that data to decide what products and services they'll tell you they offer, what they'll tell you their policies are, and what prices you'll pay. You might be charged one price and told you have 14 days to make a return, while the next person will be charged less for the same item and be told the return policy is 30 days. Companies are even using that data to decide things like how long to leave you on hold when you call them.

Insurance companies use that data to decide how much to charge you. Employers use that data to decide who to hire. Political parties use that data to mislead and manipulate voters. Activists and extremists use that data to watch and target groups and individuals they don't like. Stalkers and abusive partners use that data to track their victims. Police use that data to find suspects and lawyers can use it in court rooms as evidence against you.

Being surveilled would (maybe) be okay sometimes if it were only ever used for ads and nothing else, but that's simply not the reality we live in. That data lives forever and whoever has it, or can get it, will use it for whatever they want whenever they want to.

Every other home in the US isn't up to code. The code changes over time and governs all kinds of mundane things that you as a homeowner don't pay attention to (and shouldn't be forced to). Not being compliant doesn't make a home illegal to live in.

This is different. Many municipalities specifically require all dwellings to have basic utilities (water, sewer, electricity, garbage service), even if you're not using them. Not having that will get you in trouble pretty quickly.

Unincorporated areas are usually fair game.
> When the database is far from saturated on CPU

The issue here is if you scale enough saturate the database, you'll have to rewrite essentially all your code if you're a typical CRUD webapp. Basically all of your business logic is about data retrieval. There's probably some companies that can get away with this, but it would be way too expensive for most.
France had negative learning when attempting to scale up their nuclear industry. Assuming strong learning effects is not given. Nuclear has had 70 years of intense subsidies, and are still far from competing on the open market.

> The French nuclear case illustrates the perils of the assumption of robust learning effects resulting in lowered costs over time in the scale-up of large-scale, complex new energy supply technologies. The uncertainties in anticipated learning effects of new technologies might be much larger that often assumed, including also cases of “negative learning” in which specific costs increase rather than decrease with accumulated experience.

It’s not that simple. Rust is used in the system’s programming space and as a result it will be used in many places where unsafe ends up required to solve problems. There won’t be memory safety bugs in safe Rust, but there will be in the interop/unsafe layers.

I think there is a strong argument to be made that if you need a lot of unsafe, Zig is going to be the safer language.

Does Python have a GC these days?
I agree and I think it's the point of this article: the ideal case is when the developer want to hear about the problems that need solving, aka need to understand people rather than focusing on understanding technology.

I still feel that there is a lot of developers expecting that everything should revolve around them without caring about the other members of the company. At least more than PM not caring about the developers needs. I feel that I can see this behavior in the comments here, for example in some comments criticizing the article that show that their author really don't care about reaching a two way street situation.
I think the root of the issue is not that we need imperative languages for configuring cluster workloads - declarative state as an API contract between clients of the cluster and the cluster itself is a good thing. The reconciliation model is what makes kubernetes work, and that should be preserved.

But I do think we need better tools to generate said declarative state, regardless of its serialization format (yaml, JSON or other). Hand editing the raw declarative state is clearly untenable, hence the development of the various templating solutions. But I don't see an issue with using an imperative program to generate the declarative state either, as long as the declarative state is what forms the substance of the API to the cluster.

If you can weld, and find used pipe to build your frames with, you should be able to do sub-$1/W for a DIY install.

Generic is quite specific to Haskell, so it is probably difficult to explain without a little more understanding of Haskell-like type systems. (Rust has some similar capabilities, so that would help, too.) I wouldn’t worry about it too much, though; it doesn’t contain any particularly deep knowledge about type systems in general.

I find interesting that HBO, a US TV network, has become a worldwide brand name in a way that CBS,[1] NBC, and ABC didn't; only BBC has also transcended its home country this way, and did so with a 50-year head start. To global audiences HBO is associated with Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, and other top-quality TV; The Last of Us seems to be on its way to adding to the list.

Outside TV networks, I would count Disney, Netflix, Apple, and Amazon as also having global heft as brand names. None except Netflix has yet gained worldwide recognition for their shows and brands, yet, though (not even Disney and The Mandalorian).

Sure, then allow me to send larger files and delete them after a while to reclaim disk space, and/or compress images and videos server-side so they take up less space. Heck, even the old-school ICQ-like direct file transfer, maybe through a proxy server of some sort, would be much, much better than this stupid limit.
If you're writing much unsafe code in Rust, you're doing it wrong.

OK, for a garbage collector, maybe you have to, because you're taking over memory management yourself. But very, very rarely do you need to do that. And when you do, you need very thorough testing, test tools, and documentation.

I just got done chasing someone else's pointer bugs with valgrind and gdb, in C code from a public crate three levels down from my code. Valgrind was useful in locating the area of trouble. The code there had too much unnecessary pointer manipulation, and offsets obtained from input which might be un-initialized memory. This never happens in safe Rust. Which is the whole point.

Most things for which C programmers use pointer arithmetic can be expressed as slices. Slices are pointer arithmetic, but with size information and sound rules.

(I'm a bit cranky this week. I've spent the last few weeks finding bugs in Rust crates that ought to Just Work.)

Your paper didn't pass my smell test at all, tbh. For example the formula you write about "product" and "coproduct" in section 3 is literally identical (as "=" is symmetric). In section 4.2 you write "the product is the standard tensor product" with a formula that doesn't at all involve the map m: A \otimes A \to A. The formula you write is the induced product on A \otimes A, assuming that you already have a product on A. The formula for "coproduct" is just an example[1] of a coproduct, not every coproduct has to look that way.

US public transportation isn't necessarily the problem, and neither is cars themselves; the root cause is US zoning/infrastructure.
