Been doing this on and off. In my ideal world, I’d have a powerful remote computer that could be used for all kind of dev work including game development. And locally I would use iPad to remote in. But so far whenever I used remote machine, it is used primarily for webdev with WordPress or Laravel.

Usually, it is $5 Ubuntu VM from Linode. LAMP stack mostly. Switched to neovim from vim recently. Been trying to setup docker file to make it easy to replicate my vm but always seems run into issues.

And I use Blink shell on iPad to access it. Lack of hot reload and dev tools make it a little more challenging but not really too bad.

That's the crux of the question. The BFF approach says that you remove logic from the client and put it in a server-side component. Not that you add extra logic. Then you might find that you need to copy that server-side component sideways for a new client, if the view layer in that client is sufficiently different to what you already have. The browser can be the only client of its BFF API; the mobile apps can either speak to the same API or have their own.

Dramatically more important than any theoretical, abstract consideration in deciding whether this can work is what your teams look like. The client team should almost certainly own the BFF API, which has implications for skillsets and maturity.
I don't think "people called it the sneakernet" until much later after any other kinds of nets existed for a while.

I couldn't get through the first season. The Empire stuff was good, but I thought they really butchered Seldon. In the show, Seldon is portrayed as a warrior with a mystical connection to the vault. In the book, the whole point of Seldon is that he's a regular but smart person who leverages his opponents' beliefs in mysticism against them.
Yes, although that could be classed as a benefit withdrawal rather than a tax (the child benefit clawback), though I'd agree with calling student loans effectively a graduate tax under the current system (since very few would expect to ever fully repay them). More broadly benefit withdrawal rates are another horror show which create all sorts of bad incentives in the UK - the withdrawal rate for universal credit is 55% on post-tax income above the "work allowance". That can mean marginal combined tax and benefit withdrawal rates into the high 60s% for some of the lowest-paid workers!

What you describe is a real, severe, and tragic impact of crippling poverty, but I think “SLS” is highlighting something related yet more subtle.

From what I can construct, it’s referring to people who are able to meet their basic needs, but are slowly destroying themselves in ways no doctor or medicine can fix. They appear to be able to help themselves, but don’t, because the weight of it all is too much. They could quit smoking, or quit painkillers, or quit sugar, but they just don’t, and it’s because they feel hopeless. The cards are stacked against them, they’ve practically given up, and - critically - given their circumstances, who could blame them?

For example, usually we think of depression as irrational, abnormal, and so antidepressants are a way of correcting your thinking. Except, for someone with “SLS”, maybe depression is actually a perfectly appropriate response to their life circumstances rather than temporary aberrant neurology.

Also that utility storage batteries suddenly got cheap enough to compete with peekers. California now can shift a couple of GW of power from mornings and mid day to the early evening. It's maybe 10% but that capacity was all added in the last 4 years.

> But they [doctors] believe the causes are a tangled mix of economic, social and emotional problems that they — with 10- to 15-minute slots per patient — feel powerless to fix.

Would more time by doctors solve this problem? I expect not. People suffering from SLS need case workers, and training, and mental health workers, and something. But they probably don’t need doctors performing this task. It’s a hard problem to solve.

There’s an expression “they need Jesus” that I think fits, but not in a religious sense. People need help, but it’s a wicked problem because they really need a social support network. I’m not sure what the secular version of church is, but I think people need it to break out of a downward spiral by not having friends and family to help make good decisions and support when needed.

No. See this for details on how UB is handled by compilers:

http://blog.llvm.org/2011/05/what-every-c-programmer-should-...

The TL;DR is that compilers compile code based on assumptions that UB won't be invoked. This sometimes produces extremely surprising results which have nothing to do with the hardware/OS.

Turns out he was professor of business, not computer science, though his original university education was in CS.

This is a bit misleading, though my original post was a bit misleading too, now that I read it again (I was speaking more general, rather than just wheat, but may have misspoke regardless).

Glyphosate famously breaks down after two weeks, but those are for the perfect conditions, and the advice is to increase water to disperse the chemical. Textbook half-life is between 3 days and 19 weeks, though under what conditions, they are a bit hazy. Still, I would be inclined to believe that number when it comes to wheat.

Glyphosate on other crops, particularly trees for example, can take much, much longer to disappear, if at all. Trees that were sprayed 12 years prior can still have glyphosate in their tissues (Canadian study). Root plants are particularly good at retaining and accumulating it.
I tried an email based dev workflow and it’s riddled with issues. Like the author mentioned, there’s just too much tinkering to get things to work right and then you have to set it up on every dev machine.

It forces the developer to adopt a bunch of tools they otherwise wouldn’t use. It’s also not conducive to being able to “edit” a patch without spamming everyone in the list.

This is all to say that I really do not like code review inside the browser either. I’m desperate to find something better. I looked into git-appraise but I’m worried about ide integration issues and a verbose cli
Yeah what I hate about Twitter the most (and have always hated, even before Musk) was the way it prioritises thoughtless fleeting remarks and deprioritises insightful content.

Because it's easy to tweet "just had dinner at grandmas, was great!" and much much harder to make an insightful statement in those 160 characters or whatever still-short limit it is now.

Almost all the posts I've seen on Twitter that were actually worth reading, were cut up in tens of pieces, each with their own sub-thread attached. Basically making the whole content unreadable without using threadreader.

To me it's not surprising people who are disjointed and thoughtless thrive in this environment but for me the ratio of pure shit vs insightful stuff is so low I've always hated this platform with a passion.

I don't have an account there and I never look at it, if there's something worthwhile reading on twitter I count on Hacker News to bring it to my attention.
You don't waste supply chain level attacks on regular joes.

Apple devices get so much attention that the risk of tainting huge batches of devices at the supply chain level and having one of those end up in the hands of a security researcher is too big.

All of the security professionals I know use iPhones just because it's really fucking hard to get anything out of them without resorting to rubber-hose crypto, which is illegal in most of the world.

The last iOS zero-day was burned on no other than Jeff Bezos.

That's what I do on my server. I run Debian stable to keep everything running smoothly.

If I want the latest version of a service app, I check for a Docker container and run that.
If it's a CLI tool, I'll check for an apt repo, or build it from source then copy it to /usr/local/bin/.

I feel like I'm getting the best of both worlds: a rock-solid OS, and with a tiny bit of effort I can run the newest version of any tool I want. By not doing this systematically on every single package in the OS, there's little risk of breakage.

I've been thinking about this quite a bit recently. I want to start adding features where LLMS can help with data cleanup, but for that to be useful it will need VERY robust "undo" for if they make mistakes.

I wrote up one of my explorations here: sqlite-history https://simonwillison.net/2023/Apr/15/sqlite-history/

I've also had a lot of success using GitHub itself for versioned data. If your data is less than a GB (and each file is under 50MB) you can dump it out to a GitHub repo and use that to track changes over time.

One example of that is my personal blog, here: https://github.com/simonw/simonwillisonblog-backup/tree/main...

If you want to learn, and potentially really understand, some of this, I would ignore the physics entirely and start with the calculus of variations [0]. It's fairly straightforward (at least insofar as anyone with some basic differential calculus background ought to be able to understand the formulation and follow the derivation of the Euler-Lagrange equation), and it's useful. You can use it to derive Snell's Law or to design gears or to make pretty curves or the fastest possible ramps. Or you can figure out what L=T-U means, and use the Euler-Lagrange equation to recover F=ma from L=T-U, and you have classical mechanics!

And then you can go off the deep end and figure out how this all applies to quantum field theory :)

(L isn't a path. It's a scalar-valued function mapping the state of a system to a scaler. In C, with one classical particle, it might be double L(double t, double x, double v) where t is time, x is position, and v is velocity. IMO the simplest example from physics that actually makes sense as a minimization problem is the principle of least time: light going from point A to point B takes the fastest path. This seems a bit silly at first glance -- light travels along without having any idea where it's going. But it really is self-consistent: light propagates through space and through materials such that, wherever it ends up, it gets there by a locally fastest possible route. From this, you can derive specular reflection as well as Snell's Law (refraction) and you can start to understand mirages, e.g. why hot roads look shiny in the distance.)

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_of_variations is a so-so start -- IMO it's a bit rambly and doesn't do a great job of getting to the point.

I have to disagree. The fundamental laws are quite simple. All the complexity arises from their interaction like in Conway's game of life.
Deathstar was well before WD owned them I believe. I think that was post IBM, Hitachi or HGST.

Isn't it funny that Backblaze finds Seagate fairly high in failures, but keeps going with them. But they are optimizing something different than I was. I was managing fairly small clusters, in the 10-150 node range. I considered it fairly expensive to have a drive failure, even if we used "remote hands" to replace the drive, we'd spend easy a couple hours on a drive failure between replacing, rebuilding, verifying, procurement and testing replacement drives. We ended up using mostly pairs of Deskstars between 2000 and 2010 when I was dealing with most of my mechanical drives.

We have been using Samsung Pro and Evo 860 drives at my current job, probably have 40-50 of them, and have had good luck with them. But, I'm starting to wonder if we should rely on them based on the discussions here. We only really use them in dev and staging, production is largely Intel.

I only recall one Samsung failure I've had, I had one as a ZFS log/cache drive for ~3 years and it started reporting errors.

Correct, the speed of light is actually the speed of causality, we just so named it after light because that was what we first discovered as going at c, but many other things in the universe also due because it's the same underlying principle. That is why gravitational waves also travel at c, ie if you removed the sun instantaneously from the solar system, the Earth will continue to orbit for 8 minutes, as that is how long light (and the gravitational force) takes to get from the sun to the Earth.
