Even if we replicate 100% the state of our cells, we would also need all of the micorobiome that was developed on/in us over the year. Myself without my current gut, is not the same person.
My main points are Vercel/Next.js focused.

1. That's extra cost and complexity and it's still a dedicated server.

2. If it's a min scaling of 1 and it processes many requests, isn't that just a server?

3. In the context of using APIs written inside Next.js for your mobile application.

4. Sure, Cloud Run is nice. I remember using Docker with Cloud Run as well. But it's a bit different than my main gripe with Next.js/Vercel.
Nah, Microsoft is pivoting to take the whole pie.

They're going all in on Xbox GamePass - and to be honest, that's the future. Soon, hardware will be irrelevant, and we'll be streaming AAA titles on our phones.

Why? Because mobile gaming has outpaced console and PC combined. Everyone has a phone- and everyone will want a GamePass subscription. Apple is trying this (via App Store), but didn't go all-in. Google cancelled their Stadia project. Amazon is floundering.

Sony is happy with how this is turning out, because they think they can win on exclusivity. But it's only going to give them the lead for a little while.
> are most an issue when a boy's regularly-accessible social unit has been whittled down to the nuclear family. That seems to be a crisis in-and-of-itself.

Quite the contrary, it seems that those who would modify and engineer culture have been pushing on everyone the idea that men are fungible. That step-daddy, or mommy's new boyfriend, or all the men in the hippy commune are adequate substitutes... and it seems like that's just never the case (at least not often enough to count on).

It may just be down to math. All those other men who might substitute just have their own lives. Your grandpa likely has other children and other grandchildren. Their focus is diluted. Uncles might be trying to raise their own families. Step-dad just thinks your inconvenient and a competitor for the attention and resources of his own children, either from a previous marriage or after he knocks up mommy.

And if that's not bad enough, think about the circumstances we tend to see in these situations. Mommy (and it's usually her, isn't it?) just doesn't get along with the rest of her extended family. Not only is she demanding extra attention for her own offspring, she's showing them all how bad she is at judging character, at planning her life, etc. It's a high risk investment in a person who doesn't look like a good investment at all, for someone they already have negative feelings for.

I am referencing specifically Diablo canyon since it was mentioned in the article, but a lot of energy plants need huge water sources. This is either for emergency procedures or efficiency which makes them attractive to build pretty much anywhere there's ocean or water - which happens to be where most fault lines are in California.
Therapy hasn't helped me "break down any walls", but I have found it useful at times sharing my troubles with someone because it makes me feel less alone in it all.
Cycling and kayaking are great, but they don't deliver the repetitive impacts necessary to maintain high bone mineral density as we age. Have to add other sports to that mix.
> I'm open to this argument because it's clear that many people take it this way, but how else would you state it?

I'd frame them in a way that centers on behavior ("domineering", "violent") without gendering them. I think this makes the actual things that are toxic clearer and that lumping them into "masculinity" makes them less clear.

> "Toxic chemicals" doesn't imply that chemicals are inherently toxic

Yet you've probably seen at least a few people who take this as a reason to worry about "chemicals" in general, despite that covering literally everything. Things like this just make me think that if we want to avoid harmful associations, we have to simply not pair up the words at all. If someone is being violent, we can complain about that without bringing their identity into the frame.

> why men are so over-represented in violent crime stats

But the term is bad because it does nothing whatsoever to illuminate which things might actually cause that and there are probably many causes it lumps under a single umbrella wrongly.

I've seen stats that indicate one of the bigger causes is untreated psychosis, which has nothing in particular to do with being male, or any other identity that's over-represented in arrest data for that matter.

And to me that just reinforces the idea that the identity shouldn't be used at all when framing the problem. I'm aware of the correlations, but we have to find actual causes and, e.g. get people mental healthcare to fix the behaviors creating toxicity, rather than accepting a framing that centers on someone's very identity as if that's the thing that's problematic.

And I can say "causes" because causal modeling is a thing now. I've been reading the Book of Why lately and it's interesting how much things have advanced even in just the last couple of decades or so.
I can't flag yet, but you were flagged because your comment included a lie insinuating that queer people are predators, specifically that they "indoctrinate and neuter children". Most people would recognise that as hate speech, and older people would remember that the exact same hate speech was used against homosexuals (and still is, by many of the most fervent spreaders of the idea today).

Yep! I'm using JSMN (https://github.com/zserge/jsmn), which is a streaming parser that visits each token sequentially, so there's only one copy of each JSON response in memory. I also avoid allocating new intermediate memory whenever possible; for example, to unescape backslashes in the JSON strings, I use a destructive loop that moves the non-backslash characters forward in memory, and truncates the string by moving the null terminator earlier in the string. Not something I'd imagine doing in most environments today, but as you said, it saves a bit of space at the expense of CPU time :)

void DestructivelyUnescapeStr(LPSTR lpInput) {
int offset = 0;
int i = 0;
while (lpInput[i] != '\0') {
if (lpInput[i] == '\\') {
offset++;
} else {
lpInput[i - offset] = lpInput[i];
}
i++;
}
lpInput[i - offset] = '\0';
}

I think this is an unproductive way to think about problems of collective action, which are capital H hard. We have three known mechanisms for solving collective action problems:

1. Culture

2. Changing incentives of existing actors (laws, taxes, etc.)

3. Creating new institutions with different incentives

No one really knows how to influence (1) very strongly on the scale of a decade. The others require government willing to govern in a very active way, the Republican movement has largely crippled this capability in the US over the past 40 years, roughly since Gingrich took the helm. (this is not meant as an attack per se, I only intend to say that the Republicans have been effective at achieving their stated goals, and like all political agendas it has a shortcoming like the one here)
I'm not sure it's quite that simple, as some marriages are toxic to children. But the general dissolution of the nuclear family is not a positive trend, and will have grave consequences for future generations.
I’m not a fan of nuclear power. I do work in an investment bank that’s currently on the top 10 of organisations for building the most solar plants in Europe, so there is that disclaimer. That’s not why I’m against nuclear power though, I’m against it because of the risk, but I’m not sure that is an issue in a country as large as the US. Depending of course on where you build the plants.

If we build one in Denmark, and it went wrong, then our entire country could end up uninhabitable. And I know the plants are very safe, but look at what’s going on in the Ukraine, or how Russia blew up the gas lines recently. Again something that is probably less of an issue within the USA.

So I think countries like the US should probably do a nuclear renaissance, while other countries should stick with renewables. I wouldn’t worry so much about the storage issue. We currently build and deploy batteries that are inside shipping containers, effectively solving our storage issues. It should be noted that “our” storage issues aren’t the same as the grids issues, ours is intended to be able to store excess power. Basically you cannot sell power when the grid is full, and currently that means solar plants dump it into nothing. The batteries allow us to store it for months. Of course we also use it to sell power at better prices, but I did say we were an investment bank.

Battery tech is only going to improve. It’s sort of ironic that Tesla was so early with some of the storage solutions that other companies actually build today, but sometimes it’s not a good idea to be a first mover I guess? The big push is largely funded by countries like Germany going for full renewables of course, and Tesla didn’t have that at the time.
Anecdotal- but my daughter wanted to use duolingo to "learn a new language". I said, sure... but no in-app purchases of any kind. After a couple of weeks, she no longer uses it. It turns out that you need to pay for gems and stuff, in order to continue practicing. Once you're out of hearts and gems, you can't do anything until it refreshes.

It's kind of sad, that in the pursuit of cashing in on their "whales" that they've essentially neutered it as an educational app.
A lot more often than not I have seen in my life (60+ years) that wonderful things are born if whole a lot of things fall into their places. I've seen many times when someone with every reason to believe that "it's all about me!" leaves the company/band/whatever to discover that "no, it was about whole team, timing, place, culture etc".
I think this is a valid, serious concern, and I was thinking more of the unreasonable nuclear pollution/waste fear and the "why bother" pro fossil fuel attitude.

But when it comes down to it, I think the metdown risk is worth modest investment in new and existing reactors, in reasonable locations, using low risk designs. The scenario where the world leans too heavily into fission seems impossible.
Having worked at both, the latter type of company also has it's downsides. Primarily: a) the inverse is also true...you'll be working on some old technology that only your industry utilizes and isn't well optimized for modern use cases or is extremely niche; despite there being plentiful use cases to make the switch, it'll never be "in the budget", b) your payrate is generally going to be quite a bit lower than industry standards at app/tech companies and c) you won't get the same treatment as an engineering focused company.

The latter two are very much variable by company, but those are the general trends. They'll also vary in importance to different people. The former item, however, can be just as burn-out/tedium prone as tech company stack whiplash.
> I'm giving all of this characterisation because I think it's very unlikely that most people on HN would have met or known well the sort of people that say these sort of things genuinely, and because most of what I see here on these topics is either genuine confusion or literally misguided anger that doesn't understand the people they are angry at.

Granted. However, even though we can never fully understand another person, we can still demand that nobody in the room calls for the elimination of another group of people, even as a "joke" or "expression of anger" or similar. That's basic defense of human rights, the acknowledgement that nobody deserves to be targeted for things they can't control. Because jokes are used by extremists to gauge the tone of the rest of the group, and, if the group is conducive, they magically aren't jokes anymore.

> For context, I agree with "Trans rights are human rights" as a slogan and disagree with "Kill all men" as a slogan.

Yes, I fully agree with this.
Constant folding means you calculate the result of an expression at compile time.

In-place updating means you re-use the memory location of an earlier variable that's not needed anymore. Simple example in pseudo-C:

BigInt increment_twice(const BigInt x) {
const BigInt y = x + 1;
const BigInt z = y + 1;
return z;
}

There are no compile-time constant expressions that could be folded here. But since y is not used after z is assigned, we can re-use the memory location of y for the memory location of z.

And if the caller is not using the argument after the function returns, the memory location of the argument can be used to store the return value. This means the function call does not need to allocate memory at all, not even on the stack.
Bad food causes actual physical harm to people. This is violence. Bringing in state violence to prevent this actual physical harm makes all the sense in the world.

Making a choice to buy a shitty phone with a glued in battery is not being harmed. There's no violence being done in this context. And there's no coercion involved.

As for, "What violence?", how do you think laws are enforced? I hope this helps you better understand my "stupid take".
Linking Modular Architecture to Development Teams
1. Connection pooling can be set up with dedicated servers, but it doesn't mean that all clients like Knex and Prisma do it by default without an external server. Some clients may handle connection pooling internally, while others require external setup.

2, 3. While serverless APIs deployed on the edge can improve latency, it is not accurate to say that the edge doesn't matter if your data is centralized. The edge can still provide benefits such as reduced network hops and improved response times.

4. Serverless architectures can offer advantages for scaling, but it's important to optimize load speed regardless of the architecture used. Serverless doesn't inherently add 3-5 seconds to loading times.

5. It can make sense to use Vercel's serverless APIs built inside Next.js for mobile apps, depending on the specific requirements and architecture of the application.

6. FaaS pricing can vary based on usage and provider, but it doesn't necessarily have more predictable pricing than using dedicated servers. Both options have their own pricing models and considerations.

7. While serverless functions are useful for many scenarios, there are certain tasks like cron jobs or persistent queues that may not be easily achievable with serverless functions alone. However, there are workarounds and alternative solutions available.

8.Building an entire stack on a FaaS like Vercel with Next.js may have implications for switching hosts compared to a Docker setup. Docker provides portability and flexibility, making it easier to switch hosts, whereas FaaS platforms may have specific dependencies or configurations that require adjustment when migrating.

Yes, neglect destroyed my health and social life too, and the men I meet in the places I meet them are very often from the same kind of background.

Our childhood needs were not met, hence we lacked the common lovedness that draws social groups together. In later life we find it difficult to form good relationships and find it difficult to function as part of a team.

I believe that neglect is the single most important cause of health issues. Neglect is however almost impossible to diagnose, because it is a lack, and not a thing in itself.
The last Nuclear Renaissance in the US turned out spectacularly badly. I don't see this one going anywhere.
I've always had the impression that modern internet-connected (and I mean the public internet with TLS and all that, not just LAN) embedded devices use fairly beefy, and at least 32-bit, CPUs just for that reason. But the bits don't make as much difference as the clock speed, and that can go much higher in modern days thanks to the smaller node size.

Try to think of it this way… if we had brain transplant technology and you swapped brains with someone so that your brain ended up in their body and their brain in your body… which one do you think would be you?

I’m not sure there’s any clear answer to this as it touches on so many known and unknown unknowns. But, the assertion is that there most people (especially in western intellectual traditions) would consider wherever their brain is to be them (see also the concept of “brain in a vat” etc).

It's not a career killer, it's a specialization. Focusing on nodeJS JS/TS frontend+backend stacks will equally disqualify you from .NET/Spring shops (against an equally qualified applicant, at least). The same goes for making the switch to gamedev or systems dev from many years webdev (you can do it, but you'll probably be dropping back down to a Jr or Mid-level IC position), going from COBOL/Erlang/Rust to another stack, doing Salesforce (or other CRM/specialty software) development, etc.

It's going to happen to anyone after 10-15years in the industry.

I think this fear is not entirely wrong, but is significantly overblown. There's a significant gap between what job descriptions ask for and what companies will actually hire. A resume full of dead technology isn't going to help you ladder your way up to bigger and higher-paying roles, but it's also not going to make you unemployable.

A resume full of less-shiny but still relevant technologies, otoh, has a lot of potential. You have fewer places to look for jobs, but you're a lot more exciting to the places which do want your skills.

Corporate support is absolutely essential for a new language to be taken seriously in the industry.
