In 1926 if you were privileged enough to get published you could write in an authoritative voice knowing that no-one would challenge you, or if they did it would take many months for any such challenge to appear. Perhaps a letter to a newspaper or something. These days anyone can publish anything at any time and if you write in that authoritative sort of style its just begging for someone to come in and contradict you (you see it in HN comments all the time).

Hence people write differently now

OR

And so I thusly declare that is a most elegant explanation, without possible rebuttal, for why this most elegant authoritative style is so rarely seen in these times.
I think there's still value in pushing people towards something declarative. For example, a static type system might have an `any` type for things that aren't expressible statically but that doesn't mean type system designers should embrace dynamic typing from the start instead of trying to make it static. Similarly, it makes sense to have panics/exceptions in a language as an escape hatch for errors where the application can't reasonably do anything gracefully, but it's (arguably) a bad experience to take that to the extreme and panic for all errors.

I think there's value in accounting for the possibility that there will be edge cases that preclude hard-and-fast rules like "purely static" or "purely declarative", but I dislike the philosophy of projecting the 1% use case (e.g., "dynamic" or "turing complete") onto the 99% use case (where e.g., static and declarative would be ideal). I like when languages design for the 99% case and allow for escape hatches for the remaining 1% with the understanding that these escape hatches are intended to be used judiciously.

To put it differently, embrace that there may be escape hatches in the initial design, but prefer to think of them as "escape hatches" with the entailed understanding that they should be rarely used.
When you’re discussing a limited resource like arable land, 4x is absolutely crazy. We can’t come anywhere close to making 4x sustainable or scalable for the global population.
BLOBs in sqlite can be up to 2GB or less, depending on the compilation flags. If you store 2GB and the other application uses sqlite compiled with support for less than 2GB BLOB size, good luck on getting them to work...
If you want to store content larger than 2GB in sqlite, you have to chunk them, manage the chunk sequences, etc. And you can't overwrite a fixed size 2KB portion at the specified offset, you'll have to rewrite the entire 2GB chunk.

binary watches are pure vanity. no one wore binary watches because they were useful, they weren't useful at all, unless your goal was socializing.

people wore binary wristwatches because they wanted to be seen wearing binary wristwatches, that's it.

to me, activities like this are the absolute epitome of waste and vanity. (both are bad, if I'm not being clear, here.)

but, I also think that it's perfectly ok for people to like whatever they want to like, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, so I guess it's like "I don't like what you're saying, but you absolutely have the right to say it."

It should be a red flag when you're hoping for huge shake-up discoveries in the future to justify your behavior today.
No, you can't: an IPv4-only device that receives that packet would interpret your extra address bytes as part of the TCP/UDP header. There simply isn't any room in the IPv4 header to squeeze extra bytes in. That is exactly why NAT baked knowledge of TCP & UDP into routers, breaking the layering design in the process. If there were any way to add extra headers to IPv4 without relying on middle boxes to support it, it would have been done a long time ago.

Feeling trapped is part of the trauma of PTSD if I recall correctly. So it should probably be harder to get PTSD from VR war games from being capable to retreat at any moment. I would advise caution about promoting "engagement" in a VR war game specifically to avoid creating feelings of obligations which could leave the player "trapped". Sounds stupid admittedly, but the damage PTSD does can be real.

If SQLite is faster, the problem is the zip library you use.

SQLite has a major draw back (and yes, I love SQLite and built a lot of things around it over the years): the blob you get from the DB cannot be mmap and you have to copy it to somewhere else. For zip files, as long as the file is not compressed, you can mmap it (or it is compressed using some exotic encoding such as PVRTC) just fine.

That's not what's happening here. Large metro areas in Japan have fine schools and are fine places to raise a child. They are not like the U.S with sketchy low income urban schools.

Ernest G. McClain
From the wikipedia article: »His writings offer a musical-mathematical explanation of crucial passages in texts of world literature, including the Bible, the Rig Veda, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and Plato. All of these passages deal with numbers that he claimed had either been ignored or misinterpreted throughout the centuries. McClain's explanation is based on the meanings of these numbers within the context of the quadrivium, the four ancient mathematical disciplines of arithmetic, music, geometry and astronomy. He argued that his discovery of identical or similar numbers and parallel mathematical constructs in Sumer, Egypt, Babylon, Palestine and Greece, suggests the historical continuity of a common spiritual tradition linking the microcosm of the soul to the macrocosm of the universe.[...] His work provides much of the missing mathematical detail for what scholars often call the Music of the Spheres.«

Except with many of these enterprise solutions (SAP, Netsuite, Salesforce) most companies will still need to pay consultants 300 dollars an hour to configure and maintain the application. These costs often exceed the license cost itself.

Bottom line, complexity is expense regardless if you build or buy. Companies need to factor the systems and operations impact of complicated pricing and billing models into the decision making process.

I haven’t, but I wondered the same thing! Something else I’ve considered is letting the sous vide system run another hour or two, just to see what happens to the flavour. I guess I should give both a shot one of these days.
> Why do you use a secondary, volatile database ?

For the exact reason I gave in the comment you are replying to: I want to keep a usual workflow for users. Principle of least surprise.

Users are okay with change being autosaved when there is a single "thing" that can be edited to the point that you don't even have to open it, it's just there, it can be seen as a property (as in ownership) of the application more than of the user. For example, your music library in your jukebox application.

On the contrary, when the user have to open the "thing" with your application and can choose between many of their files that can be edited with your application, users do not expect their files to be automatically modified at all. For example users may start doing some heavy editing and then at the moment of saving their work, they might make a backup of the previous state file before saving, or choose to "save as…" in order to keep the old version just in case.

Crashes are not something that happen that often. It can become an actual problem when you have tens of thousands of users and rare-events do happen, but in the particular case of the application I working on, I do not actually have to worry about that (on the contrary, any solution would have downsides that are worst in the particular case of this application than having to do some work again because of a crash if it ever happens).
The problem is that adding so many bits to IPv6 addresses, by way of intended integration of the EUI / MAC address in particular is not actually necessary and is a bit of a mistake. As a rule, no one even wants their MAC address propagated across the entire Internet, nor to be registered in DNS either.

There are some technical advantages to doing things that way of course, but they are arguably rather outweighed by the administrative disadvantages. The protocol could have been designed so that typical layer 3 addresses were not much longer, nor harder to type or remember than IPv4 addresses are.

When you take total cost of securing a safe ingress to drop cheap bombs I suspect the cruise missile is still often cheaper. But I think you’re right that there is some transition of cost dynamics depending on what is being planned and if there is some value in holding that area.
>Tired analogy that doesn't actually make any point.

It does, but it seems you've missed.

Let me make it clear as day.

If there's a country with 3 people on it, where 2 of those people want to oppress the third, there is nothing that the third can do to prevent that oppression.

That is a perfectly legitimate outcome of a voting system, and one that occurs often.

>This applies to approximately 0% of people in the US. Yes there is a small proportion of people who are so poor they can never move away from where they're born. Most of these people happen to live in urban areas, not rural.

On the contrary.

If you've ever been affected by a law or regulation you're against, you've directly suffered from this in regards to that topic.

Indeed, the whole idea of "red states" and "blue states" that is common in US politics kind of shows it happening at a large scale.

For example I've recently seen news about parts of eastern Oregon wanting to secede and join Idaho, and the primary reason for that is that you have a minority (rural eastern Oregonians) who are permanently disenfranchised with effectively zero agency over the laws and regulations that rule over them, as a result of them being a minority in Oregon.

This is the problem.

>If democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner wouldn't you want more power in the state and elected officials, so they could protect the sheep?

On the contrary, for it is that power that is being used to oppress.

Auto-save is nice, but I think it works much better when it's a separate file.

This way "main" document file (which might be checked in to git, or shared via dropbox or read by some document) only contains nice, clean, saved version.

And yet if your computer crashes for whatever reason, the data is still not lost and can be trivially recovered.
XML and JSON are for serialization. zip and sqlite, and file-system files, are for lossless persistence. They're separate issues.

An app can go bananas with serialization and use, I dunno, binary JSON or Matroska / ebml or .mp4 containers or whatever, and still serialize any way it wants.

"Why do we care so much about the opinions of people we conquered over a hundred years ago?"
What do you mean by viable? There are hundreds of GW in renewables deployed worldwide already growing at a rapid rate every year. Those are more than viable. So viable in fact that countries keep on doing more of it. Very lucrative business. If you have other information, please share it.

These are of course not hypothetical fantasy projects that may or may not happen but actual panels on the ground or spinning wind turbines delivering lots of power to grids today.

It's well proven technology. Clean, cheap, predictable in performance and installation cost, etc. Sort of the opposite of nuclear where every new plant is a bespoke thing that is all but guaranteed to blow through it's time and cost budgets. We can speculate on why that is but the fact is that there just isn't a whole lot of nuclear capacity coming online. Which is perhaps part of the reason why it is proving so expensive and hard to build more of it. You might even say it has perpetual issues proving, or rather disproving, it's viability in recent decades.

Whatever the reason, renewables are now dominant in newly installed capacity. These don't need more viability studies. That happened years ago. Renewables are now well on their way to being the dominant source of energy in a lot of markets. In some markets it already is. 10% would be a a distinctly unambitious goal. 50% is a more ambitious goal that could be reached in a decade or so. This decade possibly. With nuclear, that amount of contribution is unthinkable. The cost would be astronomical and there are no concrete plans to make that happen. The budgets for that don't exist. All we have is a lot of magical and wishful thinking.

Also, base load is a very loosely defined notion that somehow never gets nailed down to actual GW of capacity or GWH of storage needed. Can you be specific? The reality is that the only western nation plagued by rolling blackouts is the US, which has a lot of aging nuclear plants and is a bit behind on investments in infrastructure. In places with a much higher dependence on renewables, more modern infrastructure, and less nuclear (like essentially most of Northern Europe) blackouts are basically not a thing.

And of course nuclear sometimes goes offline for maintenance and that can take up significant amounts of time. When it does, it's gone for months or longer.. France is a good recent example that had a large portion of their reactors offline for maintenance just when there was a big energy crisis on courtesy of Russia. Where did their base load come from? Imported energy. France was a net electricity importer during 2022 because of this. 16wth or so. Only about 4% of it's needs; but still. They managed fine. The European grid has a lot of resilience. What grew massively during this period? Renewable energy production.

> Once someone figures out how to load whole repo into it

Yep that's the crux of the issue I agree. It's not just one repo, any well established org has millions of lines of code - can ChatGPT handle that kind of context size without any human directing it ? It's basically having an LLM trained specifically on your company data, and having it retrained constantly since the data keeps changing - what are the costs of that?
We'll see.
I think a country can not exist with just big cities, or at least it should not be forced to. Small towns will always be more expensive than cities to maintain, this should not mean that small towns should then get less facilities.

Is one million really the point where on prem becomes cheaper? I would think it’s much more like 10 million. Between having to pay server engineers and regional distribution and power costs I’d think it adds up to far more than 1 million. Where am I doing my math wrong?

Because I usually don’t own those books and don’t have a university library

Yes! This is adding heuristics on top of the basic algorithm, of which there are many useful ones. (Figure out who the field luminaries are, what the best journals/conferences were, etc.)

It was from mid 80s until 2015. In the early days, living was pretty poor and having a stash of food was neccesary. Later, since 00s, it was probably more of a psychological inertia to continue, although planted volumes were reduced quite a bit.

I think your math is skewed to a higher end because there potato is (and probably was) significantly cheaper than in US or EU (today it is ~4 times cheaper, 0.7$/kg).

Even though, considering todays mean salary there (5$/hr), 2$/hr is not that bad for such job...

> How does this AoVA data structure work in practice? Don't you lose index-based access, in the sense that arithmetic on indices is potentially no longer meaningful in the array sense? Iteration will not preserve insertion order.

The caption to figure 4 suggests that the AoVA pattern is not a good fit if you need to retain the full order of inserted elements:

> Compared to the SoA layout from before, we have a partial order instead of a total order. So upon insertion, we get back a tagged index that holds both the enum tag and the index in the particular variant array.

So by my reading, ordered access is considered out of scope here. (I suppose you could recover ordered iteration by storing a global index in each element, but that still wouldn't help with ordered random access, and it would likely lead to some really branchy code.)
