We have contributed the majority of our improvements in such a way that other APK distributions, including Alpine, can make use of them, and the original plan was to just leverage Alpine for all of this. Indeed, we even sponsored the refactoring of musl's DNS implementation that allows it to support DNS over TCP now.

But we heard overwhelming demand for glibc support from customers. So we built a companion distribution for customers who needed to run GNU/Linux workloads, but still wanted to leverage the advantages of Alpine.
Ah sorry, I remembered the news about this plan but the latest is from 2022 so maybe that never got implemented. And ha, I once heard someone refer to 2022 as the year of the three Prime Ministers

I'd argue they trade receiving the full fruit of their labor for increased safety/stability. I know I do at least. The owner of a business still needs to make payroll even when the business is doing well with legal consequences iiuc if they don't. If you are a sole proprietor your billable rate goes up but now you are marketing, IT, accounts receivable, janitor, etc. etc.

Additionally different company's have different ways of incentivizing employee "ownership". Everything from RSUs, Employee stock purchase plans, a Christmas bonus for a good year, etc.

Who cares if it's on big 3? If it takes off and they start getting charged 10c/GB, after about 10-20k spend for the month they'll be paying about 5c/GB so close to breaking even. More importantly, at that point they'll have a business with 10s of thousands of revenue which is an opportunity to either

- work on minimizing the cost and carve out a margin

- go to VC and say "hey I have this VPN service, people seem to like it"
> Why had I tried to make personally meaningful art and make money from it? Isn’t that a contradiction?

This is somewhat where I am now, working on an indie game that I must realistically guess will not pay the bills, once I release it.

I took a somewhat backwards/opposite approach, though: worked at a "real job" for decades, got some savings, and now am finally scratching that itch. If it fails financially, it will still be an emotionally and personally satisfying journey for me (also painful, but that's what happens when you care about things :)

I appreciate this post for its honesty, and it's presentation of issues as the author's own experiences and self-discovery, not trying to wrap it up as advice per-se. I find it much easier to take advice from people who aren't pushing it as such.
Same. I studied derivatives and integrals twice. First time in HS, and it was just a bunch of random rules I had to learn by heart to be able to do these calculations that were required to pass the tests.

Second time was during the first year at university. Here the professor explained that derivatives are needed to calculate the speed with which something changes. Since we were studying economics, interest rates and growth rates made great intuitive examples. Or that integrals permit us to calculate the area under a graph, thus making it possible to calculate for ex the total expected value of something over time. When I saw the utility out of this mathematical tools, studying how to apply them became of great interest!
Fly.io marketing is top notch. Unlike fly.io, https://controlplane.com lets you run at the edge, super easily but on any compute substrate, not just on one vendor's (Equinix). Your own machines, your own AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle, Hetzner, Linode, Contabo, etc. accounts, or on Control Plane's many locations in all clouds. On Control Plane you instantly define a "Global Virtual Cloud" made up of any location you specify (your own, or ours, or both). You get a GLOBAL endpoint where a customer in NY gets a response from aws-us-east2 for example, and a customer in L.A. gets a response from aws-us-west2 for example. Of course, AWS is just one of many locations you get run compute on. We're about to release a multi-master Postgres offering and unlike Fly.io, we're 100% K8s, but if you don't know a thing about K8s, you're in luck. You don't need to know a thing about Kubernetes. You simply get secrets management, logs, metrics, tracing, alerting, mutual TLS between services, service discovery, software defined VPN between locations, private link support, direct connect support, your unlimited logs, metrics, audit trail all included and military grade fine-grained access control, audit trail and extreme cost optimization - you pay by the millicore of CPU and MB of RAM. The best part is that you can mix-n-match ANY of the services of AWS, GCP and Azure (Big Table, RDS, DynamoDB, Active Directory, S3, etc.) and not deal with IAM (identity & access management) complexity. Never deal with credentials and go from code --> unbreakable TLS endpoint in 30 seconds. If AWS goes down your endpoint is humming along. You get all the control, without the pain. If you are already a K8s expert and have Helm charts, CRDs, controllers and other existing compute artifacts, we support you out of the box. If you don't know cloud-native - that is OK: just check in your code, the platform containerizes it for you and BOOM - you get a TLS endpoint (with your own domain) and you'll never hear things like "the certificate expired, prometheus fell over, vault needs to be upgraded, we need a new version of Istio, etc.". I urge you to see a demo because a talking about it and seeing it are completely different things. Feel free to visit https://controlplane.com and I promise you will be shocked in a good way.

I don’t think it’s fair to count security updates as continued support, as soon as the software/applications you are using drops support for your old version, you can’t use it anymore, forcing you to buy new hardware. It doesn’t matter that you have security updates when you can’t run the software you need.

Windows is much better in that there aren’t yearly releases obsoleting machines every year. You can run the latest version of Windows 10 on hardware older than 10 years.

Note that according to that study, in terms of climate impact, the paper bag is better, not worse, than the LDPE bag. It's worse in terms of "total impact", which considers the categories below and I'm not sure how the total score is aggregated -- I'm sure it's explained in detail, the report has 144 pages.

CC Climate change

OD Ozone depletion

HTc Human toxicity, cancer effects

HTnc Human toxicity, non-cancer effects

POF Photochemical ozone formation

IR Ionizing radiation

PM Particulate matter

TA Terrestrial acidification

TE Terrestrial eutrophication

ME Marine eutrophication

FE Freshwater eutrophication

ET Ecosystem toxicity

RDfos Resource depletion, fossil

RD Resource depletion, abiotic

Water Water resource depletion

They also come to the conclusion that it's always better to incinerate paper bags (at end of life) rather than recycling them, which is interesting? If you intend to recycle your paper bag, you need to reuse it 73 times before you do so, because recycling paper is bad (recycling the plastic bag: also bad!). Again, in terms of "total impact"; I think in terms of climate change they say recycling either is good.

And I'm not sure if the paper bags they looked at were themselves made from recycled paper, which they usually are in stores here and which presumably changes the calculation (in either direction). It's odd because they look at like 5 or 6 LDPE variations, including breaking them down as recycled/non-recycled, but I can't find any mention of the paper being recycled or not. Again, 144 pages, maybe I've overlooked it. They do distinguish bleached and non-bleached paper.

Last but not least, they assume you need two paper bags for each LDPE (reference) bag (not enough weight capacity). The same is, hilariously, true for the organic cotton bag (but not the non-organic one!), not because of weight but because of volume constraints. So if they had chosen a slightly smaller -- or larger! -- shopping trip, lots of numbers would go up or down by a factor of two.

I'm not saying the report is bad or anything -- I'm not qualified to say either way --, turns out lifecycle analyses are complicated and full of judgement calls which inevitably get compressed to single statements like the one in the fine article.

> The requirement comes from the clients, not the lawyers.

So many standard things are handled with flat rates these days. You're not the first one needing to incorporate, or respond to an ADA complaint, etc. These are cookie-cutter things, and can be handled very quickly by the firm.

So - accordingly - they charge a flat rate. You don't get a choice usually.

Very few firms handle complex, specialized issues that require unknown amounts of time. Rate billing is for those situations.

No client is demanding to be billed every 6 minutes, having no idea what the ordeal's cost will amount to. That is compelled by the firm, because of the unknowns involved.

> converges over 3 bars

bars of what length? a 3 against 4 polyrhythm converges after 12 beats, so here it's 3 bars of 4 beats, which is a "bar" for the second rhythm you passed in (`'4-x'`) but four or two bars for your first rhythm (depending on if you write it 6/8 or 3/4, this one could go both ways).

Would be worth letting us know in the CLI, if you think about more esoteric polyrhythms it gets more confusing.

Let me see if I follow. You made something because it was fun to make it. You “grudgingly” shared it. It had some success, and now you wonder what did you really get in the end?

What did I miss? You did it because it was fun. And… it was fun? Then just because you release it and share it with others, now only external validation counts?

I think this is a trap I fall in all the time as well. I make something, and as long as I keep it to myself, only my own experience with it determines if it was a success or not. As soon as others get to see it… what I think of it doesn’t matter anymore. Only their reaction.
There is no need for that definition.

It is possible to completely remove the e^x function from mathematics without losing anything.

It is possible to express everything using a pair of functions, the real function 2^x and the complex function 1^x.

Then the cosinus and the sinus are the real and imaginary parts of 1^x (where x is measured in cycles a.k.a. turns).

The only disadvantage of this approach is that symbolic differentiation and integration are more complicated, by multiplication with a constant.

In my opinion the simplifications that are introduced everywhere else are more important than this disadvantage.

The real and complex function e^x was preferable in the 19th century, when numeric computations were avoided as too difficult and simple problems were solved by symbolic computation done with pen and paper.

Now, when anything difficult is done with a computer, both the function e^x and associated units like the radian and the neper are obsolete.

When programming computations on a computer, using 2^x and 1^x results in simpler and more accurate computations.

Moreover, when doing real physical measurements it is possible to obtain highly accurate values when the units are cycle and octave, but not when they are radian and neper.

This is very off topic, but the wedge product absolutely is "meaningfully a product", generalizes fine to arbitrary dimension, and has a perfectly reasonable visual/spatial/geometric interpretation.

Then you don't know the meaning of the word "comfort."

The B body, culminating in the Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham LS (8th gen, "Body by Fisher") was a rolling couch you could sink into, with that ridiculously static-generating and uncleanable velour. Some Cadillacs and Lincolns were also okay, but Fisher put all other automotive brands, foreign and domestic, to shame in the comfort category.

> Edit: I don’t agree with it being better with a green woman though. It did benefit a lot from it clearly being the same actress in both forms.

I think it should have been done with the same actress. A buff actress can be made to appear more or less buff with clever wardrobe, camera angles, lighting, etc. In some scenes you hide her muscles under loose clothing or flat lighting, and in other scenes you emphasize them. Forced perspective can make her look taller or shorter when needed. Playing with the focal length could change the apparent shape of her face as well.

CGI muscles completely ruins the whole deal for me. At the very least they should have done the opposite; hired a buff actress and slimmed down her muscles with CGI when necessary; I think that would look less fake than what they did.

At least last I checked they didn't have a protonmail-bridge equivalent for IMAP support, so you're locked into the web UI unfortunately.

Just as much reason to believe it would be lower than higher. There aren't a fixed number of jobs. A talented engineer who comes to America can go on to start up his own company (and there are many examples of this occurring), creating many more high-paying jobs for other engineers. A company that fails because they can't hire enough engineers puts the engineers they do have employed out of work.

I don't claim that H1Bs have the effect of increasing pay, but rather that their effect on pay is non-obvious, and any assertion that they do depress wages should be backed up by evidence.

Lead in the blood is really just a side effect of chronic exposure. What’s currently considered elevated is something like 3.5 micrograms / dL.

Except it's more like you originally purchased turf that's compatible with the provider's lawnmowers and, while you thought they were cutting the lawn, they were busy building a moat around your property. So now, switching involved ripping out the old turf, filling in the moat, and having new turf installed.

Then you realize that by the time you pay off the capital investments needed to switch to a new provider they'll be pulling the same stunt and you should've learned how to cut the grass on your own.
> A comparable sedan, or even better a hybrid is closer to 2-3 tons per year (based on 1 gallon of gasoline = 8.8 kg of CO₂).

A non-hybrid Camry gets between 26 and 32 mpg in combined economy, according to the US government [1]. The average is about 30.

The average driver in the US travels about 13500 miles per year, per the US FHWA [2]. That means about 450 galons. Times 8.8 makes 4 tons of CO2. Not 2-3.

A hybrid is a completely different story. I personally think hybrids would be a much better solution towards decarbonization, but that was not what was being discussed here.

Hilarious. No idea what startup would trust Brex after they kicked off all of their startup customers and required them to repay their balances and remove any funds within 60 days... that was less than a year ago... and now they claim startups are the "core" of Brex. Do they think people forget that quickly?
