I agree - microservices are a technical solution to a people problem. Stevey's seminal "Platforms Rant" (https://gist.github.com/chitchcock/1281611) touches on this - the reason why Dread Pirate Bezos mandated services was not because Kubernetes was cool[1], but because their teams were too interconnected, moving too slowly, and Conway's law was getting in the way.

Splitting into services siloed each team and allowed them to move independently and by side effect, faster. Not due to inherent properties of (micro) services but because one goes faster by removing the things that slow you down.

As a startup, you do not have this problem. You likely will _never_ have this problem as your default future state is 'dead'.

Do the simplest thing that can possibly work - build a monolith using tools you know that give you the ability to predictably, rapidly iterate on the product.

After you hit some semblance of product/market fit and need to scale, you can do that. Scaling is a solved problem. Premature scaling is not.

It's interesting how public discourse has those blind spots, with people talking about autonomous machines killing people as if it's some danger looming on the horizon. They are already here and have been around for decades, we just call them mines (some of which attempt to filter out unintended targets), missiles (anti-ship missiles were collaboratively and selectively targeting ships since the 80s), and torpedoes. Anti-radiation loitering munitions are effectively autonomous killer drones, and Harpy first flew in 1989.

Wider recognition of the fact would do good to the quality of the discourse. What exactly are we scared of, considering that we had decades of experience with these systems? How much truth is there to those fears? How much of it is shallow media driven emotion vs genuine risk?

> From 1992 to 2017, workplace robots were responsible for 41 recorded deaths in the United States—and that’s likely an underestimate, especially when you consider knock-on effects from automation, such as job loss.

That sentence right there makes me angry. Not at Schneier specifically, but at this blatant lie that somehow automation is responsible for even a fraction of job loss, unemployment, and the deaths that ensued. Wake the fuck up, people: it’s not robots, it’s capitalism.

I was born in 1982. Many people my age still remember being promised that machines would lift the burden of work from us, that we’d all enjoy 3-day work weeks and so on. A huge amount of automation did happen, but the rest, not so much. There are many reasons for this, but a big one is that fewer and fewer people concentrated a bigger and bigger share of the profits. Now when we automate something, it’s not, as we were promised, to reduce the physical or mental burden of workers. It’s to reduce the costs associated with wages.

The only way Schneier’s sentence makes sense is if we can’t change our economic system, but for some reason we can stop or limit automation. But even that isn’t going to work: capital owners are going to continue automating stuff as long as doing so increases their profits.

(Edit: I guess that kind of criticism is not exactly welcome in a startup forum.)
Yep, remembered buying the thermal camera as a sensor for a project on a new type of rice cooking that is more effective in term of rice cooking quality, i.e. just the right amount of cooked rice texture in between conventional boiling (too moist: how modern rice cooker works) and steaming (too dry: use by some fancy restaurants). It turned out that the rice cooking heat overwhelm the thermal camera to provide any meaningful reading, and but later improvised it for detecting multi-point temperature readings from the face during the Covid pandemic.

It's a cheap FLIR thermal camera with just OK resolution to be useful for imaging. The shipment was delayed due to the need to sign off form declaration for non-military application before importing.

Those numbers are included above: 0.27 avian fatalities per GWh for wind, 9.4 avian fatalities per GWh for coal.

I'm surprised nuclear has higher deaths, but I also feel like any large structure will cause avian deaths one way or another.

“the people most sensitive to a decrease in quality are typically those with the most resources, skills, and talents that could be used to effectuate improvement. The people who are the least sensitive to quality usually have fewer resources, skills, and talents. When the people who have resources leave, it results in a “brain drain.” With fewer well-resourced members, the quality of the group further declines; it thus has even more trouble attracting new members (especially well-resourced ones); as a result, even more people leave. Things go from bad to worse, and the group or organization enters a death spiral that can be difficult or impossible to recover from.”

I wonder about this in the context of immigration reform.

If the US were to only allow those most capable of fixing their own state/country to flee to the US, is this a moral policy when we have the knowledge that it extends the harm of a bad system in need of reform?

Those left behind are the most poor and incapable of helping themselves.

That is distortion that fails to examine the real problem. Probably the best example of this is the Altamont Pass wind farm. It was built in a critical golden eagle breeding ground and has had a significant negative effect on the local raptor population. So go ahead and zoom out to where averages say there is no problem and maybe together we can get rid of eagles in North America forever.

Bird deaths per year is a meaningless stat — coal could easily be generating more bird deaths per year because it simply dwarfs wind in power generation. You want that in birds deaths / GW.

So, taking the numbers for wind from the article,

In [2]: 328_000 / 35
Out[2]: 9371.42857142857

9.3k birds / GW.

The article lacks a generation number for coal. Looking it up in [1] it's 3748 TWh/year (sigh…) or 892 GW. Taking the bird deaths per year number from the article, that gives us:

In [1]: 7_900_000 / 892
Out[1]: 8856.502242152466

So coal and wind are roughly comparable, with coal being marginally better at not killing birds. Which, TBH, I did not expect. Even so, the problem then with wind is still blown out of proportion.

And we should still replace coal with wind, of course.

[1]: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/electricity-coal?tab=tabl...

> For anyone about to suggest this is because there is more coal than wind: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1943815X.2012.7...

> > It estimates that wind farms are responsible for roughly 0.27 avian fatalities per gigawatt-hour (GWh) of electricity while nuclear power plants involve 0.6 fatalities per GWh and fossil-fueled power stations are responsible for about 9.4 fatalities per GWh

Something is wrong here, then. If we use those numbers, and use the generation numbers for 2009 from [1], we get ~74,250 deaths due to wind, and ~73,479,800 deaths due to coal. These numbers are an order of magnitude off the first article's absolute death numbers, too low for wind and too high for coal.

Very good article. Enjoyed how it both explored the program and made a similar Python port. I find awk nice for one-liners but, even if interesting more complex programs can be written in it, I prefer the Python version. Worth mentioning the book had some more such programs, like a simple rdbms and a calculator.

I'd add that with legacy codebase the hardest thing is to untangle the business logic buried in. Some of it is likely still the core of the business but not many people, if at all, clearly know it and the docs are often dated and no longer in sync with the code.

In one word - minefield!
Well they probably know what's best for me.
I believe there is another part to this - Normally if there is a defined amount of PTO which accumulates over time, the company will have to buy it out when the employee leaves. If the PTO is "unlimited", nothing accumulates, so there isn't anything to buy out other than any statutory holiday entitlement.
It's curious that some folks hate the side effects of insufficient infrastructure while missing that the lack of modern infrastructure is the root problem.

It is entirely possible to get a cell signal on a train, even in tunnels. We as a society just choose not to build out the necessary infrastructure.

> The Schrödinger equation and wave function collapse are not compatible.
They don't need to be because they describe totally different phenomena.

They already are integrated into the theory of quantum mechanics. Take a look at the postulates of quantum mechanics again, one of the postulates is unitary evolution through time, another is non-unitary collapse with measurement. All the experimental results of quantum mechanics are compatible with those postulates.

> Quantum mechanics in general and entanglement in particular are arguably hard to understand because they are unintuitive. If all that was going on were some non-local interactions, than entanglement would not be hard to understand because non-local interactions are intuitive to us because we are familiar with things that look like non-local interactions to us.
Well, entanglement _is_ intuitive in that sense, which is one of the reasons why seeing entanglement as linked with non-local collapse is so popular.

> We are still having a lot of trouble making sense of quantum mechanics, therefore it seems unlikely that non-locality is at the core of quantum mechanics, because if it was and would explain everything, than it would not be so difficult to grasp quantum mechanics because we have an intuition for non-local behavior.
I don't really buy this, since, quantum mechanics is intuitive and simple if we accept non-local collapse and wavefunction primacy, i.e., if you actually accept the five postulates on face value, it is not difficult to accept quantum mechanics.

As a physicist myself, I don't feel bewildered or confused by quantum mechanics. I have quite a strong intuition for it, in fact.
Sounds like I struck a nerve. Next time you’re telling someone a detailed story about what route you took to dinner, stop and ask yourself if it’s actually that interesting.

Seriously though, technology has nothing to do with this. People have been bored out of their mind by other people for centuries, the only difference is there’s no excuse for having nothing interesting to say now.

Can you suss out the roots of your own intentions and motivations?

It's a welling-up from mysterious depths and only the closer tip is "rational", if at all.

And no, the machine does not access these depths (which is kind of the whole point of machines) and has no "intentions".
It's probably even better than that. If I'm going to spend $2400/yr on lunches (with after-tax money) and I'm in a 40% combined state/federal marginal tax bracket, that's consuming $4000 of gross pay annually.

If my employer instead chooses to provide the meals, they are tax-free to me and 50% deductible to them, meaning the benefit that was consuming $4000 of expense to the company is now costing them perhaps $2000. (That's before assuming any efficiency other than tax treatment efficiency.)

Owning your identity more than less by having control over your email domain is way more valuable. Yes you have to manage it and not "forget" to renew the domain but c'mon. (What about social services like mastodon and bluesky leaning pretty heavy into encouraging you to have your own identity domain and all on their platforms?)

As far as privacy yes maybe not having Eduardobautista123homeaddress.com is a good idea and something a bit less identifiable helps but you can make up some more generic names etc.

As for blacklists this problem is overblown. The big providers are getting better at accepting solid SPF and DKIM records for good deliverability and if you're not spamming you should be good. There's seems to be more of a problem anecdotally with corporate enterprise spam services that block custom domains more frequently just based on weak indicators like "unfamiliar" but I think as the trend is for solid SPF etc they will all standardize on that stuff.

It's just one of those things where if you're going to own it you have to own it. Manage it. Take care of it. But afterall, it is your identity and can stick with you for a long long time. I'm sure there's many of us who have had email addresses (that aren't fluffball69@hotmail.com) for decades now.

I vary my style. I don't really prefer guided meditations because then it is one more thing I need to rely on.

That said, what works for me is : I have been a gym rat for many years now, I never skip my gym and I am there 6 days a week. I recognized that the only way I can stick to meditation is by including it in my gym routine. So I always do my meditation after working out. Minimum 10 minutes and on good days 20 to 30 minutes. But I never leave the gym without doing it.

I try different meditation on different days. Some days I do simple focus on breathing type meditation, other days I imagine myself circling some random star/planet and focus on it, then sometimes I just imagine waves coming in going out (I try to think of waves as thoughts that pop in and out from my mind), I have also tried chanting meditation - that can be extremely useful in the beginning - I don't do it much though. Finally on days when I have my headphones with me I also try guided meditation (generally I prefer Sam Harris or someone like him who guides through as a non-religious practice).

I really think the key is to try a few styles and experiment with them. I won't trust all the "self-proclaimed experts" who say "this is the only way", just find one that you can relate to and understand the basics of it and come up with your own style - meditation is an art and not a science. I would also recommend that you include it in your routine that you never break (it could be as simple as saying I will meditate before I brush my teeth assuming you brush your teeth everyday :-)). Some days are better others not so much. On some days, the thoughts just keep popping in and out, and other days I feel in a zen mode.

It is incredibly powerful practice, the biggest improvement I noticed is that you become aware of your emotions before they take control of you. For instance, I am short tempered, (and although I am still working on it) these days I notice right before when I am going to loose it and then I think of my "zen state" and suddenly the anger can't take control of me. It is almost like magic.

All the best in your journey :).

I've been thinking about enjoying games despite their flaws a lot lately in the context of game criticism.

The extreme reactionary behavior of the gamer populace as a whole--even to something as mild as pointing out an issue in a game's menu design--is unsettling. Every time I play a multiplayer game and either I or someone else mentions--in the most dispassionate tone possible--something we think is an issue with the game or an idea for a way to improve it, at least one (and usually several) people react as though we're saying the game is trash. They almost always say something like "then go play something else". It's incredibly consistent. Because of this kind of stuff, I mostly stick to single player games and stay away from game-specific communities[1].

I don't see this kind of thing to anywhere near this degree in any of the other hobby/interest circles I'm exposed to. People seem happy to discuss issues in their favorite shows, movies, and books. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this is just due to the population I'm exposed to of people who discuss games (I assume) skewing significantly younger than those for other hobbies.

[1] the only gaming community I do hang around are the comment sections of Rock Paper Shotgun articles. The people there seem in general just much more willing to accept critiques of games
> the potential of wind power to damage ecosystems by killing or disturbing wildlife has been a concern voiced by both environmentalists and those who more broadly oppose renewable energy...

> In the following three years, just six birds were killed by the painted turbines, compared to the 18 killed by four nearby unpainted turbines, per Ars Technica.

Seems like nothing but a distraction. My friend's cat (approximately 0.25m tall, negative 16 watts power production) is more of a menace to avian wildlife than an eighty-meter diameter, 2,300,000 watt wind turbine. That's not all that impressive, that cat is well-known to be quite a menace, but I'll have to tell her about her new rank the next time she switches from purring at belly rubs to biting my hand.

Even in the global estimate of half a million birds killed by turbines per year, there are something like 50-90 billion birds on the planet, with an average lifespan of 2-5 years. Something like 20 billion birds die every year of various causes, if 0.0025% of those deaths are caused by 900 gigawatts of wind turbines that's OK.

If the proposed alternative to these turbines is not austerity but coal-fired power, the long-term climate effects of that are more deadly still.
