What do you mean by "don't play sufficiently well with immigrants"?

Japan is very easy to emigrate to if you have skills (for many visas defined as an undergrad degree). There is no requirement to hire locally first, the process is streamlined based on a points system it's only a several weeks to get a visa and as little as 1 year to get permanent residency.

It's also easy to go to university there and stay, or emigrate as a low-level blue collar worker. There's a language barrier but for things like immigration, taxes, help in daily life, most cities offer support in 5+ languages. It is missing the lottery system of the US however.
Yeah, and you aren't even in charge of your own for-loops.
That answer makes a ton of assumptions, including if it is even an ongoing, continuous process with a useful enough replacement rate that can be used to compare on an annual basis. That's the more important reason to bring up timescales: if it takes millions of years to happen, estimates of "annual" production are a fun game, but just as likely to be statistical lies as actual useful on the ground facts.

(Also, as a reply points out, there's thoughts that time periods after the Jurassic epoch, if not some point earlier in the mid-to-late Cretaceous, may be much less "fertile" in petroleum and coal-producing raw elements and that for the most part new "production" by "nature" has been "stopped" and we've long just been mining further and further back in time. Which is to suggest there is no real, meaningful replacement rate at all with which to discuss.)

Given the timescales involved, I know I'm far more inclined towards pessimism that any discussion on replacement rate with respect to human lifetimes, especially on an "annual" basis rather than cumulative across the human epoch, is ignoring the forest for some statistically insignificant trees.

the fertility rate — the average number of children born to a woman in her reproductive years

I've always had a problem with the term 'fertility rate', because it seems misleading. It does not indicate whether women are fertile or not; it means the women--for many possible reasons, of which 'infertility' is only a small percentage--did not give birth.
Here’s an example that illustrates my position. Due to experience with teaching mathematics I know that it requires a lot of effort to convince a student that the reason 2x+3x is 5x is because of the distributive property. One could not possibly know this and why this is true without experience/knowledge. I haven’t the slightest idea of similar situations in other subjects. I know force is mass times acceleration but I have no idea how difficult a concept this is for new beginners because I have no experience with teaching this concept to beginners. I don’t know what examples to use when a student doesn’t grasp this concept.

Once upon a time, on the Immigration Forms for tourists to the US, it used to ask (maybe it still does) this question "Do you advocate the downfall of the US by violence or subversion?". Obviously, they expected a 'No' answer. But equally, the way the question was asked gave a choice of two alternatives, and always made me feel like writing "On weighing up the pros and cons of violence or subversion, I think I'm leaning more towards subversion at this time."

This. Implementing an http endpoint is pretty straightforward. Newcomers may struggle with copy vs reference semantics (and that just takes time), but otherwise it's not too different from other statically typed http work. You define your input/output structs, you grab a database connection, you perform a query, and return it. No lifetimes. No Arcs or Mutexes or Rc or RefCell.

We generally consider our rust backend as two parts: application code and library code. We intend for our application code to be approachable by full stack developers and not require deep rust expertise to use. Our library code can be a bit more complicated, and there we see a bigger ramp up and frankly some self selection among our team and that's fine.

Go is quite arguably a worse language though, including certain fundamental cornerstones of modern web development. Ever tried to see what fields a JSON payload contains in an "idiomatic" way before casting it to a type in Go? It's all interface{} (now Any) and reflection. If we're talking about developers new to a language, I'd argue that Rust's type system is easier to grok than the cases you may need to account for in Go.

Proof-of-work only works with a particular set of computational problems, i.e. those in NP. I'm not sure if running a LLM fits that bill.

I suppose you could combine proof-of-stake with it in some way (e.g. you commit to an input/output tuple and get your stake slashed if it can be shown to not reproduce on a "canonical" execution), though?

That's not nearly as simple as "normal" PoW, though – you'd need to encode some reputational aspect into the system.

At first I thought you might be referring to a radiation detector because coal ash is radioactive.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/coal-ash-is-more-...

However, it was a Cesium-137 radiation source.

It may have been used as a calibration source for one of their sensors, or for the detection of non-coal materials in loads of coal, or for the measurement of coal material flow rate through a feeder. https://cbprocess.ca/products/field-instruments/nuclear/

It is a somewhat difficult process to measure the amount of rock mass passing a specific point. You can assume that a truck load has a particular volume, you can assume a specific gravity, you can measure with difficult to keep calibrated weight sensors, etc. But once the material starts to flow you will have difficulty knowing the flow rate and the amount of material remaining.

Using a radiation source and a sensors you can detect the flow of the mass of material, or the volume in a container, based on scattering, reflection, and absorption of the radiation.

Based on the images in this article, the source may have been used to determine the volume of the tank it was attached to.

Immigration is a fundamentally incomplete answer that is designed to placate people who don't want to think to deeply about the actual issues.

What happens to the countries they are emigrating from? Especially if we do as politicians say and "only accept the best", what does that imply happens to the emigrating nation? Are those countries stable then? And are they also now or in the future experiencing population decline? If population growth is due to being poor, is the strategy to keep them poor?
All of that is a direct consequence of low interest rates. If money is cheap and easy to borrow, there is less pressure on a business like Uber to turn an actual profit. Instead, investors will encourage them to grow aggressively in the hopes of capturing the market. Once liquidity dries up, there will be more pressure to actually make money.

But the economy is working as intended and it's actors are merely reacting to incentives. The question is whether the wrong incentives have been set that have created large sectors of the economy that are completely dependent on permanently low interest rates.

I've written Haskell for 10+ years and I can honestly say that there are very few areas where I would seriously consider Haskell over Rust at this point. It also seems and feels like that is the general consensus at a lot of companies, many haskell shops having moved to using mainly rust, etc.

Everything in Haskell is an academic exercise with very little to show for it in the end. The performance is not that great, and even with "fearless concurrency", most complicated performance tuning situations are entirely consumed by understanding the intricacies of GHC Haskell and how to best tune your program by letting GHC abstractions leak into your code in the appropriate places to get it to run fast. People constantly keep reinventing streaming libraries because there are always problems or compromises, etc etc.

I really used to be on the haskell bandwagon for many years, but these days, when I reach for it, I end up really wondering why. Even the dev tooling is still bad, slow and buggy.

I'll be honest here, I debated whether or not to reply to this comment. This is now the second time where you completely (and I think deliberately) ignored the main points of my argument and instead replied with a nicely formulated version of "LOL!!

You understand that by "you" I was referring to people who have that perspective right, as highlighted by the fact that I wrote "are perceived and portrayed" before, not "are perceived and portrayed by you"? Should I now tell you that you too managed to construct a caricature of the position telling you that you constructed a caricature? Is that where this series of le epic owns leads? I'll make sure not to include any argument as to why I think it's a caricature either.

TIL about source code maps.

...and how to disable them from auto-loading.

I mean, okay, I can see how they definitely have a use. But to try and auto-fetch js and css maps just because I want to have a look at the DOM?

Why not wait until I actually try looking at js/css? Or even until I ask to see the source map?

Prefetching never feels right to me. Even though I know GET requests are supposed to be side-effect free and idempotent (and if they're not, that's a choice by the server devs and they'd better have covered all the edge cases where clients correctly act as if they are...), it has the architectural equivalent of a "code smell" to my nose.

> Lenovo is not more open than Apple.

This is straight-up untrue, though. In this specific situation, they are markedly more open than Apple.

Here is their commit for ACPI support: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux...

Here is their commit for always-on USB power: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platfo...

Here is the official hwmon patch for an otherwise unsupported laptop: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/groeck/linux...

Lenovo is doing what Apple doesn't, and publishing their contributions as GPL code. In this particular arena, they are provably more open in the sense that they make official Linux contributions and Apple does not.

I too have owned hardware from either company, and have plenty to complain about for both. One thing I cannot deride is the quality of first-party Linux support for my Lenovo hardware. It's not perfect and they're an ill-fit successor to IBM, but they make marked FOSS contributions that other companies would refuse. Because these changes are made freely available with an Open license, I think it's fully fair to say that Lenovo is shipping more Open systems than Apple is. Like I said in my other post, they don't even have to do much to cement themselves in that position either, just offer a few of their own patches.

> It is true for the current hardware. [sic]

> It is true for their laptops and desktops. iPhone/iPad are not relevant to this discussion.

This is very interesting. I've wanted something like this for a while. When debugging SSR in Next.js, I have a script to spin up mitmproxy and configure Next.js to send requests through it. I also have a script that can dump the logs of all containers while sending some request, but it's such a hack I hardly ever use it. I've toyed with the idea of scaling this up to include more services in the stack with some tcpdump or eBPF magic, but it gets complicated really fast.

At work we have about two dozen images which spawn about 60+ containers (including replicas) in prod, and 30 in dev. The services run the gamut in terms of role and language, including everything from stock haproxy images to esoteric Python or JS images. In development we use docker-compose and in prod we use Nomad.

I'm not familiar with OpenTelemetry. Does this require adding some instrumentation to every downstream service, or do you/OpenTelemetry sidestep that somehow (eg with eBPF on the shared network interfaces)?

How easy would it be to add this into our e2e tests within our JS stack? For example, say we want to make assertions that Next.js SSR results in an HTTP request through haproxy (standard), then web-openresty (customized), then auth-service (Python). Can we write the tests in JS, only worrying about the Next.js service, without touching the other services, or do we need to add instrumentation to them as well? Ideally, we could add the instrumentation once in the development stack for docker-compose, and once in "prod" (temporary staging environments where we run e2e tests) for Nomad. (And ideally "adding it once" wouldn't mean adding two dozen sidecar services, but rather once per network interface, eg task groups in Nomad and Docker networks in docker-compose.)

Also, I see you have a bunch of "coming soon" services - is this just about writing the assertion adapters for their protocols, or do they require some low level adaptation to even work at all?
>Because the economy sucks in general

But to be clear the economy does not currently "suck in general" hence the confusion over blaming "the current macroeconomic environment".

These companies (including advertisers) are trying to get out in front of an economic downturn that hasn't yet materialized. And if it does materialize, all these companies will have a hand in causing it due to their reduced spending and layoffs which we know has potential to cause an economic slowdown.
