Semi is the next big thing in distributed manufacturing you already have companies that offer what is essentially ride sharing for semiconductors they manufacture single IC/SoC with multiple blocks on them and you essentially pay for a % of the floor plan which can operate independently from the rest.

So whilst not quite garage ready we’re probably 2-5 years of you being able to order completely custom silicon form the likes of PCBway and have it shipped in the matter of days rather than months.
The area is huge, to a point where you have to worry about floating-point imprecision. The sheer amount of stuff in the scene is pretty crazy.

Perhaps I can bake it down to something like what you might see in Google Earth in 3D.
> At least in JavaScript land all production ready frameworks only solve two problems: architecture in a box and put text on screen.

I don't think you have a very good grasp on the issue.

All production-ready application frameworks are designed to provide standardized application structures out-of-the-box that hide the implementation details that don't change and make it trivial to customize the parts that change more often.

That's what they are used for: to ensure developers do not have to reinvent the wheel poorly, and to provide very flexible ways to change the things that are expected to change the most often.

Front-end frameworks are used to help develop user interfaces. Describing user interfaces as "put text on screen" already shows you have a very poor grasp on the subject and are oblivious to fundamental requirements.

Unwittingly, you're demonstrating one of the key aspects where frameworks create value: gather requirements and implement key features that meet them, so that people like you and me who are oblivious to them don't need to rearchitect their ad-hoc frameworks to support them as an afterthought.

It should be noted that those who try to make the same accusations you've made regarding complexity aren't really complaining about complexity. Instead, they are just manifesting that they are oblivious to key requirements and as they are oblivious to them then they believe they can just leave huge gaps in basic features without any consequence.
What I generally dislike about using graphics tools for diagrams is that they have no notion about the semantics of what is getting drawn. It’s just „pictures“.

In contrast to, for example, proper modeling tools like Sparx Enterprise Architect or Visual Paradigm.

It doesn’t really matter then if you’re using an online tool or a native one.
I guess we need a community notes for the community notes.
As other commenters noticed already, it is a matter of an isolation more than choosing the technology. And even if focusing on the former, the technology should be chosen wisely.

Typical SQL engine is fine with the described traffic. To have more control over the usage of resources, it's good to have such logs and any other analytics in a separate database than your app's transactions. But also I saw quite big deployments where everything was in the same database, and with the right indexes, transaction isolation and some hygiene of writing the queries it was just fine - plus the code was simplified a lot.

Elasticsearch is the solution that has a lot of marketing and for sure has a nice and popular query language. Still, it is a memory hog order(s) of magniture more than your average favourite RDBMS. Eating more memory hurts performance and is expensive (memory is a single most expensive factor of a price on any cloud provider). So, it is good to ask a question, "do I really need it"?

Splunk is cool and fast. It's not free though, and last time I checked it has a bit complicated pricing.

I don't have much clear opinion on MongoDB as it was changing its performance characteristics way too often over the last two decades.

Aerospike is one of my favourite NoSQL engines. Offers great speeds and scalability. Its usage for analytics would be unorthodox, but valid. I recommend to give it a shot.

You've gotten a wrong impression that Israeli leaders want to end the entire Palestinian ethnicity. That's just... not true.

It's demonstrably not true in that Israel has, at various times, agreed to peace deals that would create a two-state solution (which would mean there being a Palestinian state). These deals were rejected by the Palestinians for various reasons.

In fact, the government of Gaza, which is Hamas, in contrast with Israel, both says that it wants to destroy Israel and kill all Jews, and also acts on it. So it's the Palestinian side (or at least Gaza's currently-elected leaders) that are trying to destroy the Israeli state.

> if you were in the Palestinian position — what you would do.

I'd try, to my best ability, to get decent leaders instead of Hamas, who would pursue the betterment of my people and pursue peace. Hamas spends so much of its resources on war with Israel, if they spend more of those resources on its own citizens, they would both be better off, and peace would happen far more quickly.

> Every revolution yields extremely positive results at the beginning... may take 80 years for a tyrannical regime to fall down.

So the Glorious Revolution in Britain was a mistake, there should be no Bill of Rights, no parliament? The American Revolution has produced a tyrannical regime?

Mr. No Revolutions here would rather still be property of a Medieval Lord. The Lord taxes you as he wishes and has sex with your wife on your wedding night before you do.

> they seize a lot of private property and redistribute it

You mean like when peasants seized the property rights over their bodies and redistributed those rights to themselves? Ye, terrible

> then it comes to actually producing goods

The French revolution produced so many goods that La Grande Armée wooped the asses of every European empire combined. If Napoleon knew when to stop, there would be 10 hours in a day and we'd know a painter called La Hitler.

So where do I sign up for this revolution you are talking about?

So far the only redistribution I see is when tech firms seize my private data and redistribute it to various predatory marketing schemes. So is it like a revolution by corporations against the state?
I agree 15000 functions is overkill and I would never recommend something like that. I'm trying to explain why combining all 15k functions into a single Faas deployment is not going to be the best option either.

> well educated residents

Well schooled residents, at least. Canadians have more schooling than anywhere else in the world according to the OECD. How well they are educated is questionable, however. Canada lacks the markers of an educated society – incomes are low and stagnant, very little political engagement, etc.

> Giving birth to one OpenAI per year is arguably better than getting 100 new dry-cleaner businesses per-year.

The article is written through the eyes of BDC. Is one OpenAI actually better for them than 100 dry cleaning businesses? Would an OpenAI-like business even seek funding through BDC when they can just as easily secure a payday from Microsoft?

Yeah, it really sounds like you did not read history books. Also, the forties left huge amount of evidence behind them. History books are not based primary nor solely on "papers of record". These are just one of many used data points.

Win32 resources are much more than that. They have names and type information associated with them, and they can be multilingual (see e.g. [0]). A rich runtime API is provided to dynamically find and load resources from executables/libraries. You can distribute a resource library that other programs can statically link in or dynamically load. Basically, it’s an ABI for resources, including localization support and a schema for UI-related resource types.

I visited a few days ago while on business in London with a few hours
to burn.

There is now an airport-style security channel with staff who open and
scan your bags.

For 30 years I've been a casual visitor to the British Museum and have
never seen this. It used to be lunch-time detour when I was at UCL to
walk through the ground floor simply as a shortcut from Russell
Square.

I am not sure what their threat model is; maybe vandalism as protest,
but as a security anecdote it's amazing to see all of this security
theatre while all along it was the staff (and probably those in high
positions) who were sneaking out millions of pounds of treasure.

Through the lens of security thinking I now see it as axiomatic that
the consequences for the misdeeds of the privileged and powerful
always fall upon the innocent and vulnerable.

This needs incorporating into the root of any formal account of
security thinking - because we always seem to be wasting our time
scrutinising and inconveniencing the wrong people.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I just do not want to have a "business" relationship with google. I would not mind paying for youtube, if it was a separate company. But google does not need my money, and any money the get are used to actively making the world worse (WEI, SEO spam, Search getting worse, ...).

On a separate note, there are reports of people getting their whole google account locked for payment issues, expired cards and such. There is no way to reach a human there, and I really do not want to risk loosing my account I use on my phone as well (android :/) just because some bot decides it does not like me.

Would be fine if I could just have a separate youtube account, but no, that would make tracking harder...

Aaaand there still will be ads inside the videos (sponsored segments), and product placement.
I would love to give orgmode a chance. "On paper" Emacs sounded great to me. Last year, I gave it a few days time to try to get it to work - I just could not figure it out! It's been awhile since I tried it, but between the keyboard shortcuts, and "buffers", the various plugins to install and configure, and emacs felt slow (which surprised me, because I'd thought it would be extremely snappy, being a text app)... I'm sure if I sat down with a pro for 20 minutes, a lot of the blockers would be eliminated and could get to a productive state. If you can recommend resources, that result in an Org-Mode "easy mode", I'd love to check it out...

Emacs Org-mode is on my list technologies to check out which have stood the test of time, and may continue to do so...

Same problem with the imperial exam Keju[1] in China. It would recruit all talent for the state leaving civil society resourceless. The examination path to a government official position was more attractive than being a farmer, scholar or soldier.

> Since the introduction of the examination system … scholars have forsaken their studies, peasants their ploughs, artisans their crafts, and merchants their trades; all have turned their attention to but one thing – government office. This is because the official has all the combined advantages of the four without requiring their necessary toil …

We can see its effects in the long run: promoting conformity at any cost, losing ability to innovate and improve.

> Who, we ask, is so altruistic as to create a new monetary system but not use it to enrich themselves?

Bitcoin's supply schedule, in which half of all Bitcoin is mined in the first four years, guaranteed a Bitcoin wealth concentration on the early miners, especially considering how few there were. At long intervals, Satoshi would be the only one, mining on his laptop.

A truly altruistic system would not confer such a huge advantage on early miners, for example by fixing the block reward. Then each generation would be able to mine the same amount of bitcoin, instead of each next generation getting 32x less than the current one. Such a steady supply would also make Bitcoin much less the vehicle for speculation that it has turned into.

Of course, then the supply wouldn't have a finite cap, it would be limited by time only. Still, that would already make it very different from fiat, with the yearly supply inflation rate going down steadily toward 0 (known as being dis-inflationary). Eventually, the supply rate would more or less balance the inevitable coin loss rate [1].

> but I would say the decline has strictly been a failure of software.

I would argue it's a failure of policy, and more specifically certain people enforcing a policy top-down on an industry they have little, if any, competence in.

The tools are still out there, and those of us who know what we are doing balk at those managers (not programmers, BTW), telling us "you don't need that."

We need to wrest control back from the managers, at all levels, and tell them to fuck off while we get real work done.
