Is it worth dying on the “machine isn’t the server, it is the application that serves” hill or has that shipped sailed in the 90s?

More seriously, serverless has come to really mean “almost fully outsourced ops”. If all you need to do is check logs and your bill, but you can still
run arbitrary code, then it is serverless.
My take is that people are frequently sad to see brutalist buildings go (they are honest, show their bones, frequently use materials that somewhat match up with the environment) but many people hate those glass and steel modernist buildings, not least the people who live and work in them because of poor lighting and thermal properties. I’m left with the feeling that modernist buildings were meant to impress somebody else.

The reason is that the money people don't want to pay for it. We absolutely have the coding talent to make efficient, maintainable code, what we don't have are the available payroll hours.

10x every project timeline and it's fixed, simple as.

Granted, the big downside is, you have to keep your talent motivated and on-task 10x as long, that's like turning a quarter horse into a plough horse, it's not likely to happen quickly, if at all. You'd really need to start over with the kids who are in highschool now writing calculator apps in python by making them re-write them in C and grade them on how few lines they use.

ie, it's a pipe dream, and will continue to be until we run out of hardware capability, which has been "soon" for the last 30 years, so don't hold your breath.

I think of the federal building in Manchester, NH which looks like something the lizardman aliens would have built in “V” or might make you think the government faked the 9/11 attacks.
Buried History
The entire field of ufology is a paradox of distrusting the government (because they've engaged in a coverup for 70 years) but also trusting the government (because the only evidence offered that the government lied is appeal to authority of someone from the government - muh classified intel! muh Q clearance! - saying it lied). For me, any evidence of aliens needs to either resolve or sidestep this paradox.

Ideally that evidence would take the form of a personal experience with the aliens. Less ideally, maybe I could accept documented and consistently observable photographic or videographic evidence from non-government citizens. What I will not accept is evidence that comes in the form of second-hand hearsay from a government "whistleblower" who gets approval for what he speaks about publicly. That's not a whistleblower, it's a spokesperson - and his claims do not resolve the paradox because it's effectively one entity telling me "we lied to you, but now we're telling the truth" - either you're telling the truth but I can't believe you because you lied to me, or you're lying to me and I'm not surprised because you've always lied to me. In other words, this is institutional gaslighting.

For me to accept evidence from a government "whistleblower," I need to see them overcoming some form of institutional resistance. Snowden was a whistleblower. His claims were obviously credible because they made a lot of people very mad, and they chased him to the end of the earth trying to imprison or kill him. Bill Binney was not a whistleblower, despite his claims, because the NSA never prosecuted him and so obviously everything he says during his ongoing speaking tour is somewhat sanctioned by them.

For me to believe aliens are here, based on the words of a "whistleblower," he needs to release documents and photos and videos and scientific data about the craft, and the DoD needs to prosecute or at least ridicule him. But this current situation of passive acceptance by the DoD (or "soft disclosure" in the words of Lue Anon followers) is absolutely unconvincing, and just pisses me off because either my government thinks I'm stupid enough to fall for it, or too stupid to handle the full truth.
what s the role of visa in a world where CBDCs will exist?
Most of this is either a very atypical experience or just made up. And obviously is from the perspective of a kid on his own for the first time. Being able to spend most of your money on renting a bachelor apartment and not afford a car doesn't sound too appealing for most adults.
Note there's an existing notation which I've mostly seen in lower-class settings like high-school textbooks: r <angle-sign> theta, for the complex number r e^(i theta). Optionally leave out the r.

So you have that "most beautiful formula in all of mathematics":

<angle-sign> tau = 1
This is literally the inevitable conclusion of any economic system based on fractional reserve banking where chartered banks are able to produce new currency from nothing on their balance sheets as debt. There will never be enough money supply (M0) to pay off debt. And unlike more civilized cultures like the ancient Babylonians we don't have periodic jubilees for debt forgiveness for human people.
> I know some people feel these additions are making CSS "too big", but the joy of it is that you can select what subset you want to use.

The browser implementation teams don't get to choose what to support, though. The argument is usually that a too big web platform will lead to a browser monoculture and increased control by one company.

> I definitely remember waiting what felt like eons for lots of useful apps to load, like Office and Internet Explorer. (Remember when browsers had startup screens?)

I agree completely.

It's definitely disappointing that simple programs like Notepad and Paint are now laggy (I can reproduce the exact same lag on my 2-year old 16-core i7), but computing in general was SLOW back then.

Booting a computer often took over 5 minutes. I'd turn it on, prepare a drink and come back to the desktop partially loaded with a laggy 'wait' cursor waiting for my startup programs to finish loading.
Launching larger programs such as Word took more than a minute in some instances.
You're playing music AND want to open another application? Well that application will open 2x slower now due to lack of RAM.

I'd love to see a comparison of a current version of Word on a current machine opening vs Word 2000 on a 2000 machine.

> I have a machine with 2GB of ram and a single core CPU. It's a low power rig. But cannot run Windows 10, it just about did when I first installed it. Debian runs better, but a browser kills it. It's a one app only.

I put Alpine Linux on my laptop that has 1 GB of RAM and I can actually have a lot of stuff running at once, especially in the terminal (Emacs, SBCL, w3m, Deno).

But yes, opening Firefox consumes all available RAM until I have to power off the machine, sadly. The lightest weight, but functional browser, I've found is Midori, but I probably wouldn't trust it for, say, accessing my bank account.

It's depressing because I was initially blown away at how fast (and productive) old hardware can be... until I tried to use the web.
USS Samuel B. Roberts, world's deepest shipwreck (2022)
Why not "it wasn't a good fit for me"? The first one kinda implies they didn't find you a fit? Not sure if I am reading too much into it.
From the blog post here: https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-bpftune

"A lot of lore accumulates around these tunables, and to help clarify why we developed bpftune, we will use a straw-man version of the approach taken with tunables:

“find the set of magic numbers that will work for the system forever”

This is obviously a caricature of how administrators approach the problem, but it does highlight a critical implicit assumption - that systems are static."
>The president's son allegedly committed quite a few crimes, including offering access to his father (The US President) for money. He has been charged for some of these crimes recently.

It's certainly plausible that the junior Biden may well have offered "access to his father" as a lure to obtain pecuniary benefit.

And while the optics are terrible, I'd note that the current US president held no elective or appointed office in any government when the telegram message that's been cited to "corroborate" the "influence peddling" allegations.

As such, It's not clear to me what, if anything, the senior Biden could have done, at that time, in that context.

I'm not defending anyone here, nor am I trying to skewer anyone. Rather, the narrative presented just doesn't make sense to me given the time frames involved.
I agree with your definition, but also wonder, isn't it kind of self-referential?

This is actually terrible advice, but I wouldn't expect a guy that earned millions a year to understand why, because it's not relevant to him: Quitting makes you unable to claim unemployment in most countries.

If you are put on a PIP, the right course of action is to:

1. Do the bare minimum to not be fired for job abandonment,

2. Apply to new jobs,

3. Let them fire you at the end.
30 years is too far out to make sense.
What’s the reason PIPs are a problem exactly? Who loses?

Let’s say you actually are a bad fit, either due to effort or ability, you could try and work through it as a learning experience and leave when you have the opportunity.

If it’s not due to any fault of your own, it gives you time to job search.

The company basically gets an excuse to let you go at some point in the future.
Intel TDX Doesn't Protect You from the Cloud
Anecdotally: a while back while I was running a long build in termux in a warm room with my tablet plugged in to charge, I got a notification that my device was being throttled to prevent thermal damage. I wouldn't be surprised if this was common I haven't gotten such a message since, however I also don't have a habit of building software on my tablet (I have a vague memory that whatever it was didn't offer a cross compilation method outside of qemu/emulation)
In theory yes but if the premise for why we allow disproportionately large immigration from certain countries is that we're bringing in unique skills, and we decide that premise is flawed, then it would also be cause to reevaluate the immigration policy.

Can Anyone Fix California?
They have different aims. SuperCollider gives you outstanding timbral control, but patterning at the melodic or chord level is awkward. TidalCycles is a language for musical patterns, not for generating waveforms directly. If you want to mess with both, I'd recommend starting from the definitions of the synths in SuperDirt, the collection of SuperCollider synths that TidalCycles uses.

TidalCycles does offer a lot of ways to control the timbre -- there are a bunch of effects, including some magical granular stuff. And merely triggering samples at sufficiently high frequencies, particularly frequencies that vary over time, can generate some cool sounds. But SC will give you much more control over that kind of thing.
Credit? It's the (non central)bank accounts what lose meaning, imo

> Essentially if you ship this software in a device, you must allow the user to change the software/firmware on that device.

This would have been useful to have for e.g. Android, where tech companies are trying to turn mobile phones into vehicles for their nonsense rather than devices under the user's control.

It's gotten to the point where I have to acquire devices with arbitrary R/W vulnerabilities just so I can patch the OS, flash my own AVB signing keys, re-generate vbmeta etc etc just to have a rooted device, but then I have one with an unpatchable arbitrary R/W vulnerability, so it's arguable how "secure" the result is...

Secure enough to watch netflix though, which is the real danger. https://xkcd.com/129
Agree completely on all counts.
Anyone who's interested in synth DSL should really check out Sonic Pi, it does MIDI, polyrhythms and it's very easy to do generative sequences in it.

I have been a paying supporter of Emby for a while now, and I feel like I bet on the wrong horse. Development is quite slow. It feels like only a skeleton crew is working on it compared to Jellyfin.

Neither Emby or Plex are perfect, but Plex seems to handle transcoding better. Emby still has the advantage over Jellyfin of a native Samsung Tizen app, even though Samsung TVs are slow as shit and it's a horrible experience.

- interbank payments

- fraud prevention and insurance layer

- retail consumer debt underwriting

- payments infrastructure and endpoint standards, security, and deployment

CBDCs do take away a fair amount of responsibility from existing private EFT, and I personally think can be a net positive, but they're a piece of the puzzle.

I think making games is easy to some people, at the right time in their life.

When I was a kid, my older brother could reproduce any game he saw. He saw Tetris and he built it. I described a Mario game (well before Super Mario) and he built it. He wrote a text adventure. Later he learned proper programming and stopped making games. I don't think he can do it any more, but at that time, it seemed to be easy for him.

Of course games changed a lot since the early 1980s. But on the other hand, to make a game without all these modern frameworks and game engines, also adds an additional barrier that he easily overcame.
I never could smell the pollution in Bangkok. I don't think people in LA could smell the smog. Certainly when we had wildfire smoke here near Seattle a couple years ago, I could not always smell it. Sometimes when it was heavy, you could smell smoke right when you went outside, but not always... and your nose gets used to it really quickly. But like, that was pollution you could see, the skies were dark and orange. Not really typical pollution levels that people live in every day.
Given that society has relied on fractional reserve banking since the 1600s, what is the alternative banking process you had in mind?
I use Plex every day and haven’t paid them anything. But I only use it as an app (relaxing xbmc and kodi) and don’t use any of their services.

I would probably pay $5-10 as a one time fee, but xbmc was an open source project so I’d never pay $100 or any recurring fee.

I just need a player for my local media. That’s not a recurring revenue source. That’s buy software once.
Quest is one of the two major testing companies in the US. (And LabCorp is not much better.)

> why would you need to download a fresh copy of a dependency that almost never gets updated

The nature of this attack is that 700 forks with each their isolated CI containers is downloading the file oblivious to all the other downloads. If GitHub were to cache this download, they'd have to man-in-the-middle, but people are using curl/wget and not a package manager with caching mirrors.

I'm not even sure cleaning up these 700 DDoS'y forks is that easy.
So the point your making is that the government shouldn't concern itself with increasing the number of citizens that are net contributors to the system?
Is that really that problematic? Most households have more debt (mortgage) than their yearly economic output.
eventual consistency
To me the numbers don't make any sense. Maybe you can help here.

We put in the atmosphere roughly 50 billion tons of CO2-equivalent per year. About half is removed by forests and the ocean, but we are still talking tens of gigatons.

Humankind produces very few things in gigatons per year numbers. Obviously (and sadly) CO2 is one of them. Coal, petroleum and natural gas are part of this family too, multiple gigatons each.

There are 4 agricultural crops that we produce in gigatons per year: sugar cane, corn, rice and wheat.

And then there's cement and iron. About 4 gigatons and 2 gigatons per year each. Cement is mixed with sand, gravel and crushed stone to produce concrete. We make
about 30 gigatons of concrete per year.

Everything else we make is in numbers less than 1 GT/year. The next 2 things are fertilizers and plastics, maybe about 0.5 GT/year.

I'm saying all these things to set the scene for the proposed olivine use.

What is the idea here? That we will create an entirely new industry that will produce a new material (olivine) in quantities larger than anything any other industry produces, with the few exceptions mentioned above? All the industries I mentioned did not spring overnight, they had been around for hundreds of years.

Is the idea to create a new industry that grows at triple digits every year for a few decades? Because if this is not the idea, then I don't think this whole thing would make a dent.

I apologize for sounding a bit brusque, but I don't see how this thing makes any sense from the numbers point of view. These guys in the article are talking about 500 m3. How do you get from 500 m3 to billions of m3? Billions per year.
Do you mean insofar as people will be able to pay without carrying cash or using a credit card?

I assume reasons will be similar to why many prefer credit cards to debit cards: cash flow issues, extra fraud protections, creating a credit history for future loans, rewards points, etc.

The value of debit cards will be significantly diminished, though.

What would you suggest, that is compatible with its goal of being a markup language?

A lot of the machines built on top of HTML (e.g. JSX) add non-markup to HTML so you can handle if-else/filter and loop. But I don't think there's ever been interest in expressing that natively in HTML itself.
And the results were...
That video is of Mike Hodnick, not myself. But to answer your question, the timbres are generally a combination of both things you mention. At its core TidalCycles triggers synths and samplers in SuperCollider. It also controls the effect chain they go through, though, so you can pattern "clean DISTORTED clean clean DISTORTED" as easily as "kick hat snare hat". And sufficiently high-frequency control of the synths will have timbral consequences, too -- alternate, for instance, between two constant frequencies sufficiently quickly and you've built a simple FM synth.

Japan debt to GDP ratio is already over 220% public debt. The best thing about it is that the Fed holds most of that debt so they kind of monetized it with no major repercussions.

Modern Monetary Theory has stated that high public debt loads isn't a problem, and frankly so far it doesn't seem like the markets will ever care. Until it does, and then it will be a disaster but both Japan and the US will never pay off its debts.
How do CBDCs handle payment disputes? Aside from credit, that's a big value of a card.
> You can do this even with libc malloc in a standards compliant way

This is what I do in nontrivial embedded projects. It makes things easier and less error-prone to replace malloc()/free()/etc implementations directly with ones that behave as needed. And then you don't have the standard implementations sitting around waiting for a new dev to accidentally use them.
Yep.

Like writing a novel. You can do NanoWrimo and bash it out.

But it is incredibly hard to write a good, entertaining and successful novel.

Music and drawing or painting is similar.
> Also, it would be trivial to avoid detection in our own solar system. Duck behind a moon or planet, or just quietly float in the blackness of space, and no earthling will ever see you.

yet we have thousands of reports of UFO sightings (the vast majority seem to be in the US for some reason). So the aliens who can travel here in...assuming they come from a nearby solar system 4 light years away, and they are arriving as a result of observing "pollutants and nuclear detontations", meaning if they started traveling in 1950 (upon receiving the light from the first nuclear detontation in 1945) and UFO sightings picked up by the 1960s they traveled 4 light years in about 10-15 years, and can be "undetectable" except.... for thousands of non-confirmable sightings per year.

I think the aliens aren't going to visit us until Zefram Cochrane achieves his first warp flight.

Not really. I will admit that it's totally possible that there is no conspiracy.
