This is the reason why there is a significant movement within the bitcoin community to separate it away from everything else in the “crypto” space.

For those who makes no distinction and hold a similar view, maybe the Pineapple Fund is a good starting point to learn why “bitcoin is not crypto, and crypto is not bitcoin”.

> kubernetes went ahead and implemented an oop system in golang

I don’t think this was ever an objective, can you clarify what you mean by “oop system” and where we implemented it?

We aggressively used composition of interfaces up to a point in the “go way”, but certainly in terms of serialization modeling (which I am heavily accountable for early decisions) we also leveraged structs as behavior-less data. Everything else was more “whatever works”.

> why? because they felt go's assumption about the problem space (that it can be modeled and solved as imperative programs)

You’d have to articulate which subsystems you feel support this statement - certainly a diverse set of individuals were able to quickly and rapidly adapt their existing mental models to Go and ship a mostly successful 1.0 MVP in about 12 months, which to me is much more of the essential principle of Go:

True for me too. The costs for cloud services _seem_ like they’re higher to get started _and_ I worry about the cost runs you hear horror stories about.

Crypto already has efficient alternatives for their consensus operations, as demonstrated by Ethereum which moved from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake and cut its footprint by 99%, which shows it is already possible and works today.

AI (Deep Learning) on the other hand has none available today and continues to waste resources, water, money and electricity over fine-tuning, training, and inference. [0] All to create hallucinating chatbots and broken models that cannot reason or explain themselves and have to be retrained or tweaked because its creators know that they cannot be trusted.

It seems like the field of Deep Learning still hasn't innovated to reduce its own resource hungriness and footprint yet requires more compute wastage with no efficient alternative in sight for their operations.

EDIT: Of course when you can't refute a point like the one I just made, why not censor it instead?

I experienced light-headedness when going to sleep (3 time a day, for 2 hours, and I trained 45 minutes rest too at the time, so quite often). I could have felt something was wrong.

But truly, I had to get a physical check to get my sport license (it's mandatory and free in my country), and I had a new doctor who really checked me, told me about it and to stop intensive efforts, weird sleep patterns and keep doing endurance sport. Sadly I forgot about the last part after a while.
It was an imaging system for cars that needed high throughput. Normally you would just have a lot of cameras all around the car, but they were very space constrained so spinning the car was the only way to get all the angles.
I also wonder if perfection is reached when there is nothing more to add ;-) Current popular languages seem to converge.

Many (most?) teenage mothers intend to be teenage mothers and like babies and probably have a history of caring for them. They're thinking about how great it would be to have a baby, and likely fully want one. The problem is not that babies aren't great, it's that a teenage girl has no perspective as to how making such a decision at such a young age is going to affect her life negatively.

Making them take care of a fake baby likely stimulates the exact same part of their brain that makes them want to have a baby. Sort of like how my wife (or myself, if I'm being honest) will see a cute baby and, despite having already had the experience of having children and knowing full well how difficult they can be, will ecstatically exclaim 'Wouldn't it be great to have another baby?'

Except, as adults, we can make a decision to have or not have a child with some perspective and some modicum of self control. Whereas if you induce the same feeling in a teenage girl, she might just go ahead and do it without thinking, as teenagers are apt to do.
literally this. but to the benefit of refine.dev i should say that you made the framework extremely easily hackable, at least where lame me wanted to hack it. your data backend didn't work with my rest api, i've asked on discord and someone said: hey, it's actually in the docs, you just copy our default implementation into your project, import it, make sure it works as before and then hack it as your own code. a productized hack, i'd say.

I see this as a long-term approach which will improve over time. Mocap can play a part, as can AI -- though I'm no expert in it, it's hard to argue with the results produced by tools such as Midjourney -- and other techniques.

The key point is tackling the animation "problem" from a new vantage point, as opposed to having an interface based on numerical interpolation as the final solution.

One project I think about a lot but will probably never do is build a DIY smart phone, writing all the UI and features myself.

There's people on youtube that have done this. They're basically off the shelf parts and a raspi glued together in an awkward brick of wires and electronics.

I'm interested in learning how to get the hardware all working together, but also making wacky UI that deviate from normal smart phones.

A counter-intuitive part of the reluctance of employers to keep work-from-home, is that offices costs them money. So, if efficiency stays the same (which seems to be the case), then they should want to keep work-from-home. So why do they want to go back? Is it all about control?
Sure, assuming you are happy with most of the language constructs and it feels ergonomic to you, Kotlin can make sense for backend/APIs, while still having access to all the Java libs/packages. I'm starting several new largeish projects now and have decided on using Kotlin.
> since we've returned to normality it's back to outright hostility for those who're struggling.

Yeah, it worked that way when we were all in it together. Life presents struggles for everybody, but it became apparent post-COVID that this concept is lost on the more-vocal elements of the disabled demographic. The struggle is only real for them.

You literally get free money from the government and special benefits as members of a protected class. Your wages can't be garnished. You can stall the eviction process. You get reserved, preferential parking. You can force businesses to make accommodations for just about anything. You optionally work 15 hours a week and have nothing but free time after that, but you don't have time to hear about anybody else's problems-- but we're expected to hear about how much worse your problems are, for hours, every time we cross paths. I'm living paycheck to paycheck and facing a layoff; I don't know what my family is going to do if that happens, because AI will be doing my job before I can recover, and I can't take out any more student loans to retrain. Tell me more about your chronic Lyme though.

The fucking best part--here's the real kicker--is when you stick your neck out by offering to help someone like this. "You're facing homelessness? Shit, that won't do...come live with me! Say, you're eating a lot of our food, incurring bandwidth overages and running the AC during peak hours-- do you think you could help pitch in for some of the bills?" That always goes over well. You're not allowed to ask anything of the disabled; god forbid anybody think they're able (pun intended) to do or help with anything.

It's like Seven Samurai come to life-- yeah, the marauders are bad guys, but there's an even worse villain in that story.

And then:

> God forbid you have something nice while on minimum wage or benefits

You're already getting something nice. It's called "a low-risk lifestyle and income you didn't have to work for." FFS. Assemble the Hague over the fact that people might get upset that you're driving a Lexus to your EEOC hearing for a part-time position at Ralph's while your neighbor was trying to resuscitate their 2002 Kia so they could race to get to work at the call center on time, get verbally abused by customers at some shit customer service job for 8+ hours and hopefully retain the privilege of doing it all over again tomorrow before she, too, is replaced by AI. Tell her how hard you have it with your fibromyalgia.

It's been said that high school bullies inevitably end up on the disability payroll after failing at everything else. In my experience, this checks out. The only people I know collecting it can only ever be described as abusive (in or out of high school), and the people I know with obvious disabilities (everything from amputation to PCOS to Downs) would be offended to be labeled as such. Makes one wonder what the goal of someone going out of their way to identify as vulnerable might be, since that tactic does not lend itself to survival in nature unless you're a predator feigning distress.

Back when IPv4 NAT was sort of standard (still is but so is IPv6 as well as GCNAT now), I created a thing I called NATChat. It would basically just create a chat room for you based on your public IPv4 address, allowing you to chat with anyone on your network. Was kinda neat to use in office with others (back when that was also a thing).

they should be compatible, so I don't think you need to see it as an either/or. If you choose to use both however, then you should use drizzle to scaffold your database.

I think Clojure is not statically typed? which is a big disadvantage, and also syntax is very different from current mainstream languages, so even more effort to learn is required.
Ah, I hadn't tried the Refine demo and was going totally off of past Retool experiences where creating or modifying an app can mean just picking a UI component and adding SQL.

Refine does appear to require developer build-out and is more of quickstart framework.

Modern white-collar work wil never go back to the way things were (nor does it need to). Pros and cons to that of course. The path of least resistance (saving the costs of lighting/heating/cooling/plumbing/office-maintenance, etc) will triumph.

> The whole point of these two adages is that reusing an existing design is better than a new one.

Yes, and that's put in doubt. Starship aims to improve on previous designs - in terms of affordability, that is, making human flights cheaper. This cheapness can't be realized with existing designs, so a new design becomes better in that regard.

> SpaceX's REUSABLE rockets are great for a number of reasons yes, but by definition, those are not NEW launch vehicles.

I don't know how good definition can exclude reusable rockets from being new. Was Shuttle ever new? Delta Clipper? Reusable Falcon-9? Falcon Heavy? I think this is not a good definition, if, according to it, reusable rockets can't be new.

> And when they were new, well, lots of delays and setbacks and costs as they kept accidentallying rockets trying to land them.

Do you know the difference between designing and using? In software it's rather clear, and nobody would expect a half-written program to function according to specs. Neither it's the case in aerospace - while Falcon reusability was being designed and tested, nobody should expect it to perform flawlessly as when used "in production". Not cheap, agree (actually, quite cheap by aerospace standards, but still not some typical household-sized money), but I'd argue that was rather quick - just a few years to put reusable first stage into production starting from announcing the idea and building the first "Grasshopper". So, while 39[a] may stand here, your comment doesn't provide a good justification to it.

> If anything, SpaceX's entire business model is EMBRACING that adage, not disproving it or an exception to it.

SpaceX benefited immensely from using proven solutions, but the results they are showing are still disproving the idea of this law. The ambitions of SpaceX are high compared to the rest of the world launching industry, but so are the results, and we also have genuine "firsts", like putting the reusable first stage into production, or flying reusable spacecrafts to space station, TKSes and Shuttles notwithstanding.

Let me try to explain again my main point: SpaceX aims to make human spaceflight significantly cheaper, and the opinion is that it can't be done without radical redesign from scratch. It was attempted several times in the past, with e.g. Shuttle and Energiya, and it still isn't done today, but if you want to risk being put on the "you're currently here" list of SpaceX achievements(1), which were doubted and then happened, I'd at least propose you to think from the basic assumptions and find out why SpaceX won't actually achieve cheaper human spaceflight this time.

(1) In Russian that list looked like this before reusable Falcon: https://meduza.io/impro/0ZWeCgCXA4nsWv7dj7CHbSIrsURgOh-qpiUh...

You both have a point.

"Cutesy" language may act as a distraction to the reader, and -- like anything when overdone -- can be detrimental to the text. Kill your darlings and all that.

_However_, if something isn't supposed to be a terse reference manual, it will convey a lighter tone and seem more approachable to most people, if used judiciously.

I don't think anyone has enough experience at 17 to know where to strike the right balance, so overdoing it (and being called out for it) is just part of the journey of becoming a better writer while finding your own personal style and tone.

I know I made the decision in 2012 or so. The startup I was working at used Postgres for the server, and I didn't know anything about databases, so, okay, fine, whatever. Then they started an analytics team, which went with MySQL ... and ended up discovering that MySQL only handled up to 3-byte characters of UTF-8, which was a problem since the users of our game Chinese characters and lots of creative abuses of Unicode characters. My takeaway was that UTF-8 has always been at least 4 bytes (and I think it might have required 6 back then, which has since been walked back), and that any database which could not implement the spec of something fundamental like UTF-8 correctly was completely out of the realm of consideration.
