AIUI, Go intentionally avoids programming language features considered too advanced by its authors in order to lower the bar (to make it easier for most programmers to pick up, that is) and to keep the code uniform, supposedly to the advantage of companies using it. While hammering unidiomatic approaches into a language virtually always is awkward: there are other libraries and programmers, even if you are fine with the rules you have to follow in order to emulate the desirable features using a library. The combination of those things looks even stranger than they do separately.
Exactly. Modern double sealed compressors are super reliable and safe. Same thing used in every fridge and ac.

Unemployment is low because the economy is growing, and our population has been getting older on average.

We have many different ways of measuring unemployment, which count different things. For example, employment to population ratio of prima age (25-54) is at 80.8%, just shy of the all time high of 81.9%.

It is very different than China, and there's no information being hidden.

To take advantage of NoGIL you don’t necessarily need to use parallelism directly. But let’s say your web server or async task executor can be more efficient at sharing context between threads.
I'm sorry fun doesn't sound dignified enough for you, but I meant fun, yes, - dignity was a part of that package. That said, no one is going to do a job no matter how dignified it is without either great pay or privilege if it's not fun.

China will not be captured by the middle income trap because it has already escaped the middle income trap. The middle income in my opinion has a different reason countries get stuck there and its by design. Because the road to high income is protected by western IP protection. Patents are way for the west to forever license fees for their high end technology, China is beating the west in new IP generation and hence will get an ever bigger share of the high end technology fees income. If one thing i expect western nations most likely EU nations to slip back into middle income status and get trapped their with their suicidal foreign policy.

I got this insight in 2016 when the US started its suicidal trade and tech war with China which they claimed would be easy to win. It was never about money or trade it was all about keeping asians down and dependent.
Article misses the angle that "undefined behavior" is a formal term which means that ISO C doesn't define behavior, not that nobody whatsoever defines the behavior.

The following is undefined behavior:

#include <unistd.h>

A conforming implementation (one that obviously isn't POSIX) can behave such that the hard drive is wiped out either at compile time, or at the run-time of the translated and linked translation unit.

ISO C defines the behavior up until specifying that the header is searched for somehow and that a diagnostic is required if it is not found. Since the header is nonstandard, it's possible that it is found. And then, the standard says nothing about it.
I remember a dozen years ago seeing a Touch of Grey ad on TV. It advertised dying the top of your head and keeping the sides grey, so you'd simultaneously pick up the women with your jet black top half and command respect in the board room with the grey hair on your temples, or so the ad went. Imagine if that was your world view, like you were Patrick Bateman in mid life crisis.

I suspect this is largely because the Microsoft Surface products contain a lot of proprietary hardware components that aren't not well supported by the kernel. KDE and friends have pretty good touch screen support, but it's all for naught if you have no drivers.

"Sadly, I’ve been through the PE takeover experience."

Same (more than once)...in both cases there were a few positives and a cavalcade of negatives, with the latter category expanding like a famished amoeba.

I could fix the whole PE realm in one move: require PE firms to operate as fiduciaries, with severe penalties for failure to comply. The whole sector would collapse or stop sucking, and I don't care which happens.

There is an extra wrinkle, too:

Many MFA implementations will not allow you to register more than 1 TOTP authenticator, and so that is why I typically use the trick of registering both Yubikeys simultaneously. If you wish to register another, the service will often require you to deactivate MFA and set it up from scratch, which de-registers the original one. I think this is probably mandatory, due to the way the secrets work. There's no way a service can safely store such a secret on-site, because this would defeat the purpose.

So in fact, if your alternate key/auth is offsite, then you're actually forced to manage your own secrets in order to properly register all affected devices.

You can have BitWarden or another password manager manage those secrets for you, but you've just reduced your MFA to 1FA, because obviously that's where you store your passwords. In fact, revealing a TOTP secret is more damaging than revealing a simple password. But, you do you...
You're the only person in the thread taking this at all seriously.
It's not odd. Assets can be sold for income.

We're just not used to thinking about it that way because, in terms of taxes, assets always get special treatment because the ultra wealthy hold the majority of their wealth through assets instead of income. And so, we do as they wish.

Agreed a crash in China would have fallout but not 08/09. The Chinese housing market was fueled by the familial need to own a house. Which led people to lead no matter what people would buy property, basically "stocks always go up"... "housing always goes up"...

Problem for our use case is saving on gpus is pointless if we have to keep paying egress fees for our 250 TB training dataset.

The single interface for any cloud GPU is cool, but hard to imagine it taking off without some additional features.

I think for lots of shops the hardest part isn't the compute but moving the data around. Ie for us, we use s3, some lustre caching and spot instance nodegroups. We are a deep learning research team that spends roughly 40-50k/month on aws compute for training jobs. I imagine this is somewhat mid tier, maybe more than some but certainly far less than others.

For inference, data egress costs could be less of an issue, but your service would really need to be almost invisible. It probably would be pretty complicated for a number of reasons, but if you could design a "virtual on-demand nodegroup"™ that I could add to my existing clusters and then map to whatever k8s stuff I want, that would probably be useful. I would need to be able to auto deploy a base image to the machine and then provision the node and register with my cluster.

Just some unorganized thoughts. Good luck and have fun.

I run fewer and fewer services myself. "A person's primary task should not be computing, but being human."[0] I find that self-hosting gets in the way of that.

Nonetheless, I still host my media server[1] and my timeline thing[2]. The former has been rock solid so it does not need replacement. The later did not exist so I had to create it. I do plan to rewrite it far more simply though. After toying with static site generators, I don't want to host super heavy docker setups anymore.

The hardware is some generic small form factor PC. It's overkill for what it currently does, but it's very fast at media conversion. It runs some flavour of linux, but I don't remember which.

> Just get married, you can always divorce in a few years and walk away with half your partner’s assets.

Even in a community property state (a small minority operate under this rule, while an even smaller number allow voluntarily designating particular property as community property), without a prenup, its half the marital property, which includes only what is acquired during marriage, and of that excludes property one party receives during marriage through inheritance and similar processes. And, of course, even if your description was accurate, a penniless woman isn’t just going to automatically be able to find and marry a man with assets or likely to acquire them in any significant quantity. (And, conversely, while it is likewise not automatic, men can and do "marry up" financially, its not something that is only possible for women, and where marital assets are a thing, are just as entitled to a division of them.)

> * no programs to help you re-train and college has become completely unaffordable

Job retraining programs, including public community colleges, do, in fact, exist.

> * not nearly enough time to build up any sort of retirement savings suficient to not be eating beans for every meal

This is actually one area where public sector employment is a good deal; the base pay at the low end often isn’t any worse than the private sector, upward mobility (at least in wages) in the low end is also not bad, and defined benefit pensions exists. Even in the 40s, getting in 20 years is doable, and a plan with a 2% per year of service benefit multiplier (which isn’t very high, if you are retiring in your 60s) gives you 40% of your base (usually something like average of highest 3) years pay as your annual pension benefit.

Public sector employers are often also. for jobs where age discrimination is common if illegal in the private sector, much less prone to it.

> * not eligible for any assistance programs (only disabled, parents, and those over 65)

In many jurisdictions, general assistance/general relief is a thing, though the cash benefit levels tend to be low (though they often come bundled with non-cash aid, including food aid, job training, etc.), and there may be time limits with cooling off periods for able-bodied adults (e.g., something like a limit of 9 months in any 12 month period.)

> * ineligible for public service jobs (fire/ems/police) and military (even non-combat roles. We’ll put a morbidly obese 20 year old out there before we’ll put a fit, loaded-with-life-experience 45 year old)

Very few civilian public service jobs have age limits; the military has enlistment age limits (though for the Navy and Coast Guard, you aren’t necessarily past it if you are in your 40s, since it is 41 and 42, respectively), fire/police/EMS very often do not (though this varies by service and jurisdiction), and instead only have required fitness qualifications.

Routing algorithms are tunable. Especially BGP, which is what is used to route between internet carrier companies, technically known as "autonomous systems".

BGP by default prefers the path going through the least number of autonomous systems. A carrier will announce the networks they can reach. Each carrier handles routing within their autonomous system separately, with other routing protocols. BGP is concerned with routing between autonomous systems, not with routing inside each system. It is common for BGP carrier implementations to set certain paths as preferred based on contract terms with other carriers, i.e. cost.

Other routing protocols work differently. Some of them by default prefer paths with the most bandwidth. Latency is usually correlated with hop count and bandwidth. The devil is in the details.
I have not reviewed these, but this course used to be co-taught by Peter Shor and Seth Lloyd.

Peter Shor was smarter, but a bad teacher.

Seth Lloyd was a much better teacher.

Together, the two made a good team. There's an obsession with finding the most famous person to teach, but on the whole, I'd pick Seth's lecture notes over Peter's any day.

> Bank crashing = money printing = asset values go back up. Can't lose.

If you buy real estate right before a housing crash, you immediately lose a lot of money vs. having just sold or not bought it, and even if the prices recover in the long term it can take years.

Meanwhile you can't refinance the loan at the new lower rates because you're underwater and no longer have the collateral for a loan that size.

Then there's the "risk" that people learned the lesson of the last housing crash and don't do the same thing, i.e. reinflate a housing bubble right after it pops. This wouldn't even have to be not lowering interest rates, it could just be lowering them but continuing the existing momentum behind relaxing zoning rules so the lower rates can fund new construction. Then the low rates save the rest of the economy but real estate prices stay reduced because the lower interest rates are offset by (and pay for) new construction.

You can definitely lose.
