Yeah. This post reads like the Dropbox comment.

I've worked with ad-hoc data solutions, and now I work with analysts who swear by Snowflake. It's the organization, the administration, the maintenance that Snowflake is solving for us, and it's turn-key. It's not easy or cheap to get that done with a local solution.
It may not be so much threatening as much as knowledge is also a lot like this innate capability:

> Language itself is another example of this. The above paragraph is 94 words, yet you could probably recite it pretty much verbatim in terms of what was said, even if using different words. Think about how absurdly remarkable that is. You just "memorized" 94 words without even trying.
I just did it for fun. This particular recursive approach is super slow for numbers of nontrivial size, so I was just curious if I could even make the caching work in the block. It's not worth optimizing a suboptimal query when a more efficient option is available anyway.
How do we combine evolution and development with backwards compatiblity? I think it's quite natural that we end up with this conundrum. Like say for example Vim having outdated defaults, because changing them could disrupt existing users. A reboot/fork of it can reset and start fresh but will eventually in its own development hit the same problem.

Are there examples of projects who solve this well?

Ripgrep's author is also very careful about breaking changes - I think that means it will also one day have outdated defaults!

Google-sized solutions tend to create the need for google sized solutions though.

Take a basic CRUD TODO app. Add metrics to every user interaction, every mouse movement. Now you need a time series database, kafka and a data lake. Break it down into microservices. Now you need kubernetes, and also structured logging, and probably an ELK stack. You also probably need Graphana to monitor your services. Because you have introduced hundreds of failure points, you also need high-availability, multiple regions, elastic scaling. Eventual consistency.
You're right.

Of course, you labeling it as a "mistake" is also made in order to dismiss or minimize my comment, when it was in fact an honest mistake.

Connectivity was the hardest part, we had to write Python connectors for a variety of ERP systems. We have a 1 server setup where we run duckdb and Python scripts, we monitor and orchestrate with Prefect but you can use one of the many Python orchestration tools. We load the finished data marts to a MS SQL server and users connect to it via PowerBI or Excel.

The point isn't that one should reinvent the way that Tomcat is started, but that Spring Boot (by default) is using action at a distance and runtime reflection which have serious downsides if you want to understand what's actually going on because you're a) new to the technology, or b) have to debug some weird edge case.

The alternative is using explicit, reflection-less code - which you can do even with Spring, although it's experimental: https://github.com/spring-projects-experimental/spring-fu
Tip of my tongue request.

Looking up images of DOS platformers like Secret Agent and Crystal Caves reminds me of a game that was loaded on some elementary school computers in 1998. I don't recall if they were Mac or DOS, but they certainly weren't the cutting edge G3. I think the game had a character in a trench coat and they were maybe a sleuth of some kind. The color palette was dark but there were yellow-ish lights coming from above in a conical shape.

I know memories are usually warped and wrong, but hopefully this is enough of a description to jog someone's memory. I have been able to rediscover all of the games I played as kid. Most I never revisited, but it feels satisfying to learn what they were. Big ones that bugged me for ages are Tyrian and Descent.
That's hilarious.

Do you think the Indians accused the Chinese of cultural appropriation in the 5th century also?

Even more bizarre to think that chan buddhism (which later became zen) dropped a bunch of stuff they weren't comfortable with when buddhism arrived in china.

Is there some cut off date you think is the high water mark for authentic buddhism? Anything after 1260 need a new name? Buddhism-3? :}

When a vortex forms in a pool of water, it is formed by the complex interplay of water, the pond made up of earth, rock, plants, its undulations perturbing the water, the wind etc.

The vortex appears and vanishes as conditions change. But is the vortex, the water? Is the water no longer water once the vortex dissipates?

Is the vortex the same as any physical object? Or it’s a form taken up by water?

What if the brain is just the form. And what if the water is itself just a river fed by ocean currents millions of miles away?

Standing by the river, you only experience the form, not the formwork, the substrate, or even the shaping force in time.

I may have made this a worse explanation… hard to tell.

That link lists the averages among the 21,000 users of StrengthLog. I'm sure the average normal human who doesn't use a weight training logging app is way lower.

For example the beginner on there is 76kg. I think it'd be a bad idea for a guy who's 40 years old, untrained and out of shape to rock up and deadlift 50kg, even just for one rep. He wouldn't know what to expect, he'd get the form wrong, he'd probably hurt his back. People who aren't trained should start with the bar, sometimes they're better off starting with even less than the bar and that is fine!
No, because that is equivalent to

k[v] || (k[v] = k[v-1] + k[v-2])

And that first k[v] (unlike k.key?(v)) will trigger the Hash.new block again, so it'll recurse until it runs out of stack. But neither check is necessary, because the Hash.new block will only ever get called if k.key?(v) is false.

If you want a more compact version, you could do:

fib = Hash.new do |k,v|
next 1 if v == 0 || v == 1
k[v] = k[v-1] + k[v-2]
end
Ah, but I bet the pirate versions of those games still work ;)
Yes, but that would change the ASCII spelling, to which there seems to be tremendous resistance in English-speaking countries.

But if we sneakily added entirely optional accents to the existing spelling, then in another hundred years maybe the vestigial hint letters could be cleaned up. (Probably not — see French spelling which is 50% silent letters from ancient orthography and Latin roots. But even the French system, despite its complex rules, is internally consistent unlike English.)
I agree that it's not universal amongst all native English speakers.

But otherwise, that's just a prescriptivist/descriptivist argument. What's "correctly"? You'll note though that there are only a few variations - native English speakers still generally agree, even if in multiple classes, and usually one class is a clear majority.
I think it's worth remembering that Gautama did not create Buddhism. He passed on and people that came after, continued teaching in his stead. So to say that Buddhism was very accepting of preexisting Indian beliefs doesn't say anything about what he actually taught after his liberation. For a number of reasons I don't think he himself incorporated pagan beliefs. If I laid out all my arguments, this answer would probably turn into an article. For the sake of brevity, I'll only pick three.

First, most teachings that aim at orienting seekers toward a realization are non-conceptual, they're not intellectual. They don't ask you to believe in anything, but to orient to your own senses in the present. They require your direct participation. The work is about getting the mind out of the way of direct experience, which is antithetical to orienting it toward even more beliefs. The mind needs no extra motivation for stories, that's its job.

The second point ties in with the first. The mind loves to intellectualize, to conceptualize. It wants to understand realization, since it cannot experience it. So eventually, some people will try to teach from a conceptual framework. It's in this form that the teachings will actually be either transmitted to or apprehended by the vast majority of "practitioners". This is where you'll also notice some ambiguity between original teachings and doctrine. In the morning you're taught to inquire into the nature of the I and to focus on your senses; then in the evening you're on your knees, chanting in front of a statue.

Finally, did Gautama deny the supernatural? I think that the answer is probably yes and no. Yes, because as I explained, I don't think he actively included them in his teachings. No, because it would be as pointless as convincing a 2 year old that Santa doesn't exist. How fruitful would it be for a teacher whose aim is to help you realize, to spend their time debating concepts, when you might just wake up any instant and see things for yourself?
Yeah, for real hardware it is important to be flexible.

But these virtual machines can all be exactly the same, except for the network MAC and IP.

It could even be possible to compile executables that bypass the need for a kernel, just have some libraries with the required stuff, and boot to the program, MS-DOS style.
I stay with Ubuntu, because it just works, and life is too short, spending it on debugging Linux issues with hardware, configure this and that, and so on.

Snap is a good idea from the security and software packaging perspective, and different approaches are needed to find out what works best. Snap might be better than flatpak in some respects.

I prefer apt-based distributions.

It is difficult to tell a coherent story that ends in a satisfactory manner within a preset number of pages. Endings, outside of "and this is how everyone died", are inherently arbitrary and artificial, and it's tricky to disguise that. And if you're blessed with imagination, there is always one more character to do justice to, one more neighbourhood to explore. (Or, if you're Tolkien, one more etymology to plant.)

At the same time, there is a certain type of curious, intelligent, often young reader that delights in those details. They want to know more about that character who spoke two sentences but made a big impression; they want to know how the neighbourhood the protagonist walked through came to be so peculiar.

The market for massive 18-book series is a product of the happy match of that type of writer with that type of reader. But it's totally OK to not be that type of reader.

The amount of cursed acceptance of this idiotic proof is incredible. It’s like saying you’re not allowed to flip coins because they might land on their head. The whole argument for the undecidablility of the halting problem is based on an anti symmetric G which cheats at the halting problem by invoking H, but when you make H, you could detect that and crash H.

the halting problem is either truly solvable, or there is an actual proof which doesn’t rely on weak unconstructable paradox.

At least TFA didn’t regurgitate the bad proof and accept it. However, they did worse, they accepted the bad proof without even attempting to regurgitate it.
Did you read till the end? Look at the last section titled "What can you do"; I reproduce the list here.

- Announce the dates of the conference as early as possible (allows participants to book travel, visa appointments, maybe club multiple conferences)

- Provide invitation letters in a timely manner

- Call for participation as early as possible

- Notify speakers as soon as you can

This is a very reasonable ask. Each line is a request asking the conference organiser to do it as "soon as you can", or "timely manner" etc. He is merely asking conf organisers to be cognisant of foreign attendees time constraints.

> Look up the balloon (or raisin bread) analogy.

In bread analogy, sugar is the source of energy and CO2. In balloon analogy, new air is added to balloon (with lot of turbulence). What is added to our Universe, which causes the inflation? Where we can see it?

In case of Steady Universe model, light just changes it's properties over time, for example, because gravitational waves are stretching photons and photon beams. Gravitational waves are produced by massive objects, which are orbiting each other.

> Compiled languages (and Go in particular shines here) spit out a near-dependency-free[1] binary you can drop on the target without fuss

I think it's more accurate to say "static binaries" instead of "compiled languages." The same headaches exist with dynamically linked, compiled binaries (and sometimes they're worse since you don't have a dependency manager, unless you add one)

> Static test binaries make things a lot easier
I think this really depends on your target environment and how much control you have over it. If you're in a Ruby or Python shop, for example, all your servers already have the stack installed. If you're targeting end user devices, those can have a huge mess of different configs to account for

I don't think there's a subculture that doesn't use jargon/shibboleths as a gatekeeper, and that jargon has to have turnover, otherwise it ceases to be useful (when was the last time you heard "helicopter view"?) Viewed from an anthropological perspective, keeping up with the jargon is just an expected cost of belonging to a subculture, and as an industry we're more guilty than most (look at the sheer amount of new language we coined for Software Patterns, or Agile).
> People who gripe about spring didn't bother to do things the spring way.

Of course, everyone who complains about a technology just hasn't learned it properly.

I think I understand the Spring model fairly well at this point. But one of the problems with it is that it's confusing and that the runtime-reflection-heavy approach causes issues with debuggability, performance and also errors creeping into production that should by all accounts be preventable at compile-time.

It's rather easy to make silly mistakes with Spring, such as confusing @Configuration and @ConfigurationProperties or writing tests that share the application context even though they require different configuration and suddenly stop working if they're executed in the wrong order, and even if you yourself learn it perfectly, your coworkers might not.

I agree that it offers a ton of benefits - but that doesn't mean that it isn't valid to criticise it.
Yeah, but these are not the changes we need. This is more of the same - going in the wrong direction.
