I think the biggest issue I have with the comparison is the density. Ireland is a relatively densely populated country. Rural land is very densely populated, there is no section of the country that isn't spoken for. This is because unlike large parts of the US, agricultural land is highly productive without irrigation.
This results in agricultural land being very expensive. In the US agricultural land can be expensive, but only because of it's water. Without water it's extremely cheap.
This land pressure results in land across the entire Country being expensive.
In the US, there is a lot of relatively empty/undeveloped land on which to build houses and cities. This should reduce the price of housing.

- in contrast to rural Ireland, urban Ireland is not very dense relative to other cities in Europe. Dublin has a height restriction on buildings (which may be being reconsidered) so there isn't much of the denser building that you get in cities like Paris (which has a lot of 5-6 story buildings which really ramp up the population density. Irish cities are instead rows of very tightly packed suburban homes - often terraced or semi-detached (sharing a side wall with a neighbor) with about 6-10 homes per acre.

I have tried to get this done at so many places. It's a huge huge win, having monolith codedev advantages & microservices ops advantages. But I can never get believers. No one sees how obvious & great this is.

We've had services where like three or four routes have absurdly terrible computation times, where they create huge backlogs of requests, for requests that could & should be low latency. Moving the slow stuff out into a different serving pool would be such a win. That's just a start on the segmentation I want, but it's such a clear calling with such huge wins.

Just hearing a single other person doing this is relief.

This is, to me, taking a monolith & applying the Bulkhead Pattern via infra, to make different failure/reliability/performance zones across different routes. Bulkhead pattern rules.

Clearly we have equality for k=1.

But k cannot be equal to 1 as per your assumption that n<m. So you need to still prove a base case for the induction step.
Guess I can't edit my previous comment. Played a bit more so here are some comments.

- Impatient, but it would be nice to skip the initial 'spin' of Earth after a few attempts.

- The game starts to lag after a few minutes (iPhone X) but is smooth otherwise.

- It's annoying that the level select defaults back to first planet instead of the latest playable one.

- I was confused about the 'confidential' marked meteors I thought I had hit a paywall and initially shut the game down. Only after I realized that I could go past it. I think it's quite effective though, as when I finished all I went back to watch ads to unlock one (which I hate doing..). Maybe have the next planets visible in the edges of the screen.

- Brings me to the crash I had while watching the ad (during the game being laggy, not sure if related).

- I wish the particles bounced of earth and other stuff.

- Boost could be more visible.

Quite difficult, but satisfying when you make it.
Your edit is the most illuminating on this entire thread. We have some notion that websites are static bodies that don't change, and look for outside societal reasons for some unexpected change where it's often the most commonly found cause.

No, it's a cultural thing. For sure it came from poverty. But it persists in places where that's no longer an excuse. For example my neighborhood in Vietnam has kerbside trash/recycling collection four days a week. Even if you couldn't pay you could easily put your bags with someone else's. Hell I'd pay for the entire street gladly. And yet several of my neighbors still pile up their trash and burn it. I've ended up shouting at them a few times - unfortunately being polite does nothing in this culture, while getting angry, as a foreigner, is extremely effective no matter how much I dislike doing it.

I know people would say "adapt to the place you're in". But I draw the line in a few places. Burning trash and mistreatment of dogs are what push me past that line and turn me into a shouting maniac.

> Tons of hospitals in India are spanking clean

Private hospitals. Lots of commercial places are kept spanking clean. It's weird though, it rarely extends to the neighborhood. I'll never stop finding it weird to see a stylish hotel with manicured grounds next door to a literal dumping ground that they don't seem bothered by.

This is a great post, but I'm confused about your math in the first sentence. Maybe I misunderstand: 3 lakhs means 300,000 INR. If 720 INR per hour, that means 415 hours per month. If we estimate 4.5 weeks per month, that is 90+ hours per week! Where did I go wrong here? And there is no way Boeing is paying less than 20 USD per hour in India for people writing flight control software!

For other readers, if the monthly salary is 300,000 INR, that would be 3.6M INR per year, or about 45K USD @ 80 INR/USD.

> I know that there's an argument to be made about authors wanting to eat

My view is that we should build a system that ensures every person gets to eat (and have shelter, medical care, other necessities) without the need to pay for it, simply because this is the right thing to do.

Then under such a system, we can eliminate intellectual property restrictions, because they will no longer be necessary to ensure that artists eat. IP restrictions actually slow down innovation, so eliminating them will have huge benefits to society.

By the way you can ensure that everyone gets fed etc without paying for it by building an economy where everyone is part owner of the productive machinery they depend upon. Then no one is poor. Creating an economy where a preponderance of the firms are cooperatives is a good start. So this can be done in a traditionally libertarian way, without high taxes or strong government intervention.

It feels like no one gets fired for letting products rot from the inside.

I had a coworker quip that no, we weren't even product driven, we were sales driven. Given what I've seen the quip keeps feeling ever more on target.

Ship new shit forever. Concern yourself only with new value, new addressable markets, new features.

The story here is absurdly different from what happens everywhere else. Prioritizing not being bad at what you do just doesn't happen. Having consequences for letting yourself rot within is almost unheard of. Most companies have skeletons in the closet stacked to unreasonable degree. That someone might actually face a reckoning for it feels unheard of.
Other devices can fall in that category, or be very close to that, although being much faster they obviously cost more than the ALIX/APU. See for example https://www.ipu-system.de/

That said, I have been extremely happy with my old WRAP boards; they worked for years without a hitch with PfSense (now I would use OpnSense), and didn't swap them with newer PcEngines boards just because at that time they were already a tad slow for today's Internet.

(m/n)^n is only an integer if m/n is an integer: true but this is quite a big piece of mathematics on its own.

Your argument is addressed to another (future) article, probably called "Substack WILL be the biggest threat..." because as of today nothing of what you are hinting at has happened, or is happening. Maybe we shouldn't take decisions based on fortune telling.

As I understand, the single greatest comfort improvement on the 787 is higher pressurisation: 6,000ft vs 7-8,000ft. The lower pressurisation on older planes is rough after you have experienced the 787. I felt much fresher after a long 787 flight compared to older planes.

Can you define what you mean by a serving? If the percentage of sugars is lower in skimmed milk (or full, whichever) then that will most likely raise blood glucose least, no?

There's also the personal factor to consider. Everyone has a unique metabolism. The only way to be sure is to take your fasted blood glucose levels then monitor your response after consuming a serving of a single food item. That food may raise one person's blood glucose more/faster than someone else's. Fortunately it's relatively easy to do this today for many people, although price and availability are variable.
Personally, I think it’s fine for people whose only goal is to be assholes to others or to spread disinformation to be deplatformed by private services. If that happens to primarily center around conservatives, then that sounds like conservatives should do some soul searching.
which flyers ? I'm not sure they spread evenly

tourists all want the earliest and last flights to arrive early and leave late, and not waste a day of vacation

ppl who go on a weekend want the last trip on sunday that arrives not so late so that they can sleep, or the earliest trip on monday

And when you're going on a journey in the middle of the day, you're sometimes feeling alone in there.

Beyond offering more trips, there will still be that slots issues where you have to propose capacity at popular schedules.

You would see the same fare on all the flights, if capacity wasn't an issue for airlines.

So it's not an open and shut debate. Both types of planes should still exist.

Also, IMO, "Increasing the frequency" "at varying times of the day" with 737s only is another sign of the airline industry not really caring about what users want, because of the economics. Most travellers really want that Friday evening flight.

It's the same as with the luggages that are a premium and a nightmare to checkin with most airlines.

But it's unfortunately the system we want. We choosed to have profitable businesses, instead of costly public services like trains in Europe.

They have unlimited capacity anytime of the day, lose money, but are convenient.
That should be a model again for airlines.

There are at least two solutions for that:

2. Always send the header "DoNotTrack=boolean", then force websites to take action (show a popup) when there is no header.
But what RISC-V would provide is a "standard" ISA. You can avoid having a manufacturer/vendor lock-in. Anyone can manufacture a RV64EMAFDZicsr.

> Not PC Engines an easier time to design and source things

Isn't it better to rely on a "standard" technology than a proprietary one? x86 is not standard, it's widespread. The Duopoly in place can decide the price, the feature, even its client. They can decide one day to stop providing what you need and that's it. With a standard chip, you can go next door in Shenzhen and get what you need.

> Moreover any actual RISC-V chip that's worth replacing the AMD in PC Engines will be at least as proprietary as the AMD chip

Why? We are not talking about a supercomputer to train LLM here but simple network appliance than needs efficiency. The GX-412TC PC Engines was using, doesn't look that impressive. Aren't there already RISC-V chip today on par with it? Like VisionFive for example?

Many religions make a far stronger moral argument about our failures as individuals, and yet arguably have far less influence over young minds than they have in the past. I can't say I've seen any evidence that teenagers (including my own) are especially burdened with any personal sense of guilt over their lifestyle and its contributions towards ecological damage. Whereas I'd certainly accept there is a sense of pessimism about the future health of our planet and what it might mean for what sort of existence they might have in 40 or 50 years time - and absolutely a sense of helplessness to do anything about it, given the fact very little positive change in behaviour has been seen by those in the best position to do so.

How could that not be the case? How many irrational numbers are there between [1, 2]? Infinitely many, of course. How many integers [0, 1, ...n] are there? Infinitely many.

In the American astronomy community, there is a process every 10 years to determine what should be prioritized over the next decade. It's called the Decadal Survey.[0]

The Decadal Survey does not determine the overall level of funding for astronomy. It just says, "If you gave us X amount of money, here's how we would divide it up, based on what we think are the most important questions in our field." There's a competitive process within the community to propose projects and argue for different scientific research areas, which eventually gets distilled down into a set of funding recommendations.

The Decadal Survey is really just a recommendation to the funding agencies, which can ignore it if they wish. However, since it does represent the consensus of American astronomers, it's taken very seriously.

As for the overall level of astronomy funding, astronomers have very little control over that. That's decided at a political level, by Congress, and I doubt there's any rigorous cost-benefit analysis to society going on there.

Maybe you’re just switching too many things at once?

I went from a traditional keyboard, and switched layout.

Then on a typematrix, and it was annoying until it became second nature.

Then a x-bows, that I see as a nice evolution of the typematrix or Microsoft ergo. The change felt easier to adjust to.

Now using a full split keyboard, and it’s nice, having to only relearn some habits that use the thumb more now.

Back in the days, I tried an ergodox, but from it felt too big a change at the time. Now it feels just fine thanks to a gradual change.

Most people just don’t remember having to learn to type when young, nor that it was slow.

I think it’s worth it, and should be a default.

During the transition period, I recommend maybe dictation for example to handle short and fast messages with colleagues, and just some patience: rewiring your brain takes time.
