What I ended up with was really neat.

machine <-> cloudflare <-> github

CI would run, build a binary that was stored as an asset in github. Since the project is private, I had to build a proxy in front of it to pass the auth token, so I used CF workers. GH also has limitations on number of downloads, so CF also worked as a proxy to reduce the connections to GH.

I then had another private repo with a json file in it where I could specify CIDR ranges and version numbers. It also went through a similar CF worker path.

Machines regularly/randomly hit a CF worker with their current version and ip address. The worker would grab the json file and then if a new version was needed, in the same response, return the binary (or return a 304 not modified). The binary would download, copy itself into position and then quit. The OS would restart it a minute later.

It worked exceptionally well. With CIDR based ranges, I could release a new version and only update a single machine or every machine. It made testing really easy. The initial install process was just a single line bash/curl to request to get the latest version of the app.

I also had another 'ping' endpoint, where I could send commands to the machine that would be executed by my golang app (running as root). The machine would ping, and the pong response would be some json that I could use to do anything on the machine. I had a postgres database running in GCP and used GPC functions. I stored machine metrics and other individual worker data in there that just needed to be updated every ping. So, I could just update column and the machine would eventually ping, grab the command out of the column and then erase it. It was all eventually consistent and idempotent.

At ~30k workers, we had about 60 requests per second 24/7 and cost us at most about $300 a month total. It worked flawlessly. If anything on the backend went down, the machines would just keep doing their thing.
Oh I totally agree with your sentiment about tree-sitter. That's why I want it to be extended in functionality. It makes so much sense to have a single place where one parser can be written and everybody benefits. Much like language servers.

Where I disagree is that IMO, tree-sitter already is very close to this ideal model. It has incremental parsing. It has great tree querying. Where it needs help is an AST facade over the raw syntax tree, which is very much feasible. rust-sitter[1] does it for instance. Tree-editing and tree construction is also very much doable. I don't think it'd have an impact on grammar construction at all. As for error recovery, I think it could function as a reparsing feature where you can drop down to a manual parser (or even a secondary grammar) that is more tolerant. Or an error recovery function that can be written in any language. tree-sitter already has the ability to use a manual lexer written in native code, so this is not such a stretch.

Like I said, all it takes is money! Lol.

Good though that it’s a “boat” for legal purposes that will make things much easier.
Right. The big guys with assets like Facebook and Google spend millions to comply.

The small guys duck under the radar.

It's kind of silly, but what happens when you have tons of laws. There is no realistic way a business of 1-10 people is going to be able to comply with every law in every state AND country they do business in.
> would have been commonplace 50 years ago

50 years ago was a pretty special time, if we're being honest. The ratio of home prices to income was an all time low. Go back to the 50s and it was the more typical 4x ratio. Clearly the 6x and 8x bubbles we've recently experienced aren't sustainable, but we're also probably not going back to the relative utopia that was 1970s house prices.
Student debt is so large and burdensome because the government has been handing out unconditional money to colleges. Student loan forgiveness increases people's willingness to pay for college, which means even more unconditional money for colleges. It's like putting out a fire by smothering it with gasoline.

This is different from say EV subsidies (which I also think lived passed their usefulness) because car makers are incentivized to serve more customers to make more profit. Colleges don't gain anything from increasing their enrollment and would rather raise their tuition to hire administrators and build shiny buildings that boost their rankings.
Flutter uses canvas, AFAIK. Similar concept, but 2D
Originally I used it as a quick shim to not have to keep typing out every kubectl command individually. Now k9s is a daily tool and everyone on the team uses it. I love it.
Yes, entirely opinion based on my own personal anecdotal observations and deductions.
I imagine if cameras and IoT devices continue to miniaturize, one day they'll float on the wind like a dandelion puff. Folks could spread them around like dust. Helicopters could crop-dust them over entire cities.

In future we'll have to come up with some social rules about ubiquitous surveillance. Because it will become the norm.
Most malpractice is hidden by arbitration agreements. We see a tiny sliver in these civil suits because the government only cares about money, not regulating the standard of care.

Professions are those guilds that control their own standards and pace, and regulate their own members. The healing and legal professions are supposed to put their clients' interests first, and mostly do when they would otherwise lose business.

But for those working at government piece rates, the only way to get ahead is to do more pieces, which can skew judgment. The bulk of private equity funding flowing into buying practices targets specialties where local monopolies are possible: anaethesia (great b/c no one chooses their anesthesiologist), dermatology (great b/c you can run through old folks' homes and clip every possible mole), etc.

I'd guess the real rate of over-(and under-) treatment is much higher than reported. Even within a practice group not subject to adverse incentives, there are difference of opinion regarding best treatment. Only when the study sizes are very large can you make generalizations. So it's pretty much an unanswerable question.
Most of the missiles fly above the water vapour, so that isn't really a problem for this solution.
I really appreciate your comment.

I left this out of the OP because I didn't want to to be too verbose but this decision is a long time coming for me.

In the last two years I've started volunteering, I repair and sell coffee machines as a hobby and I row and play rugby three to five times a week.

I've really considered this deeply and I think I'm like the example you gave - I was never suited for the world of offices. I was good at school but hated that, and good at university and I hated that too. Then I just got jobs in the highest paying fields I could find and went from there.

I think you give good advice but I can't help thinking that life is short and if I had a heart attack and was being wheeled into A&E, I would think that I was fucking moron for having spent so many days sat behind a PC.
No, I've experienced it in at least one country in Asia, and it can be abusive beyond any comprehension. I think it's inherent to the leverage medical facilities have over their patients, and human nature being what it is.

There are also great medical professionals in both Asia and the West. At their worst though, it's like some kind of dystopian horror film.

The problem with defining AGI isn't only in defining intelligence, but also defining general. Also, why do we treat AGI as a yes/no question, when it probably makes sense to think partially... i don't have a definition of either
Looks okay but I was looking for something that wouldn't require learning yet another config language and would rather take k8s yamls that I already have (or require minimal modifications).
I know plenty of non-wealthy people, myself included, who were able to pay for college by working. The answer is going to a school you can afford.
I think the original error was making them non-dischargeable in bankruptcy. People still take out private student loans to go to college. I think colleges would have raised rates even without government subsidization. 18 year olds are in an ideal situation to be sold the benefits of taking on large amounts of debt for their future.
> Since the CIA did not, in fact, exist, any claims of what the CIA tried to do are self-evidently false, and need no more rebuttal than the date the CIA came into being.

The CIA did not exist prior to its establishment in 1947, to use your nomenclature. So what is false? Everything it says the CIA did from 1947 to the 1960s is true.
> this is a country that guarantees freedom for individuals

It does a piss-poor job of that for the majority of individuals

> Freedom encompasses economic freedom

That's a relatively recent, capitalistic, construction. See, e.g. The Big Myth:
How American Business Taught Us to Loathe Government and Love the Free Market, by Erik M. Conway and Naomi Oreskes
Universities are part of the problem in my opinion.

With enrollment trending down many colleges appear to focus on making up the loss through raising tuition.

To attract students the universities invest in prettier buildings and more "college experiences" to attract students.

Meanwhile information is cheaper and more easier to replicate than ever in human history.

Books ought to included in tuition, a good professor can note any updates needed.

Lectures ought to be digital. Let classroom time be for students to work or ask questions or discuss. Saves both students and professors money.

Integrate and use/teach open source software. This would lower costs to students and long term lower the technology costs to the university (especially if universities are aiding each other in development).

That's three core parts of modern college that can and ought to be reduced in costs.

There's no (good) excuse for academia to not do this in my opinion and if they (universities) fail to keep up with the rate of opportunity sadly I believe we'll see a lot of knowledge lost.
It’s less rational and more the result of work experience where the worst thing that could happen was someone dies.

Food goes on a slightly elevated tray off the floor for hygene purposes. Put your face relatively close to the food as you consume, to maintain the premise. Prop your body weight up with hands and elbows (in a way that makes sense for your body/strength). Some things would be fairly easy to eat this way, others would be quite difficult.

You could increase the angle by adding a platform or step to it, where your knees/body area is elevated and there is a drop-off where the face/food area is located (in this case you'd want to have enhanced traction I imagine, grippy shoes and or rubber mats).
There's only one good "closer to" for these purposes, and that's "by packet latency." The prefix is basically the location of the carrier hotel that serves your DC.

What did the people in the 70's do differently?
Jumping off this topic.

I have GERD. It sucks. Reducing alcohol seemed to help a bit. A daily pantoprazole pill for it really seems to work, but has side effects.

Would eating during bungee jumps also help?
Matcha Auto: Faster trade confirmations, reduced failed txns, no gas fees
When performing a Swap in Matcha, users can now choose from two transaction modes: Standard or Matcha Auto.

Matcha Auto leverages the best of Matcha’s intelligent platform, all for a small percentage fee:

Faster trade confirmation.
Matcha Auto dynamically adjusts gas fees in real time, making your trade 2x more likely to land in the next block, so you can trade before the market moves. Avoid having transactions stuck in the mempool, or scrambling to adjust a price when the network is congested.

Reduce failed trades by 85%.
Transaction failure rates for leading DEX apps average 8-10%, spiking upwards of 20% during network congestion. Matcha Auto monitors your transactions to ensure trades successfully land onchain an incredible 98.5% of the time.

Matcha handles the gas.
We embed gas fees into the trade and cover re-submission costs, so you don’t have to worry about failed transactions or holding native tokens in your wallet to make a trade.

On a technical level, Matcha Auto wraps 0x Swap API’s world-class smart order routing into a highly optimized meta-transaction, allowing you to get the same great price without handling gas fees. This technology not only unlocks a more frictionless experience, it will also allow Matcha to leverage the latest advancements in the MEV space...This is a sneak peek of our roadmap, so stay tuned!

All software in Debian needs to be Free software - the user must be able to modify and run it (ie recompile after modifying). And for software packaged for Debian that means being able to work with "apt-get source" and "apt-get build-deps". This of course includes dependencies.

That creates a bit of a split between Debian packages and language specific packages like rust crates, golang, python eggs or ruby gems.

There's some friction there, but the reasoning makes sense (but it is ok to disagree of course).
It's also beyond nuts to compare debt that people voluntarily took on with slavery. The desire for people to avoid the consequences of their own actions as a political stance is a non-starter.

Eh even those Americans are doing pretty well in the grand scheme. We know that we are importing a bunch of illegal immigrants and using them as manual labor in our disgusting factories and brutal fields. We are not paying them the minimum wage nor giving them any kind of retirement benefits or even the basic human decency of being able to visit their loved ones in the hospital without severe risk. And yet we allow this situation to persist with minimal hand waving dedicated to the issue. If we are going to assign serfdom to anyone surely it would be this invisible class of Americans. Then again, they are here by choice, risking much in the process, because ultimately its a better option for them then they had elsewhere so does it really make sense to even compare these people to the brutality of histories serfdom? Doesn't seem so.

When I started having these symptoms it was the first thing my doctor tested for though, since it's such an easy fix. Unfortunately for me that wasn't the issue.
I have recently had a significant improvement in acid reflux symptoms. The key for me was to just eat less.

I am not morbidly obese. I have a pretty small frame and am about 5 ft 6 in tall. My BMI before cutting my portion sizes down was on the upper end of the normal weight range (24.9).

I tend to be a fast eater, and I think that did me no favors.

It makes a lot of sense in retrospect. But when you're not obese, cutting your portion sizes is not the first thing that comes to mind as a method for improving health.

There's a difference between 'no privacy from the street' and 'filming everything all the time'. Like the difference between picking an orange from a neighbor's tree, and bringing in a combine harvester.

Pedants will insist they are the 'same' somehow. But socially we know that's not true. It matters to us that we feel some sense of privacy most of the time. It's all about degree.

I agree with you, but this is a weak argument, because the police aren't suppressing any right of expression by monitoring protests. They may be having a chilling effect by effectively discouraging protesters to attend, but they are not actively suppressing any identifiable freedoms.
For computers, I actively use:

* A nine-year-old desktop Mac Mini (2014)

* An eight-year-old MacBook Pro (2015)

* A five-year-old ThinkPad T480 (2018)

And a nine-year-old home server sitting in the basement (Optiplex 9020).

I rarely need new computers.
As someone who still just uses whatever terminal emulator my desktop environment provides, what are the advantages of choosing another terminal emulator application? Also, what's the point of providing GPU rendering on the terminal? I've never experienced latency or any problems otherwise related to rendering, so I wonder why some terminals nowadays pride themselves in using GPU rendering. Am I missing something?

Also, which terminal emulator would you recommend?
Note that there's also a less known type of Acid Reflux called Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR), also known as Silent Reflux, which doesn't manifest with "usual" symptoms like heartburn or a sour taste in mouth, but instead with symptoms like sore throat or hoarseness. For a long, long time I didn't understand why so often after eating my throat was full of phlegm and I had to constantly clear it, I thought it has something to do with paranasal sinuses because I rarely experienced symptoms commonly associated with Acid Reflux, but after some research I found out about the Silent Reflux so I modified my diet and the symptoms mostly disappeared.
This is not about technical superiority. This is about big corporations using their size and money to abuse a market. Watching a movie is not a human right. Selling barely functional products (or non-functional products, or products that destroy perfectly fine and paid for other products, as I have experienced myself) by tactics as dark patterns, blatant lies and scams is not a corporate right. Both sides are in the wrong here. Pretending that one is fine and the other is not is in itself a double standard.
Sure, obviously PPE is the gold standard. But we’re not talking about education here, but occupation.

The blurb is much the same as Octopus, lots of feel good, not much specifics, I know Octopus is prohibited from offering full exposure, and you can see in its users' metrics that sure enough on a cold still winter evening prices just stop climbing at a certain cut-off.
It's especially not workable if it doesn't involve a correction to the system that let the debt accumulate to begin with. It just becomes an expectation for future generations. If anything it'll drive the debt higher, faster.
Even if a screen reader does, someone using a touch screen usually doesn't.
