i read this book. no, i studied it but found it less about philosophy of software design and more about how to deal with the current state of affairs. it does a good job here, in my opinion. but as a work of philosophy it undersells. one criteria is can a non-programmer study and have any idea what software design should be about? in my experience, the answer is no. a philosophy of software design shouldn’t necessarily target software designers/engineers. amazing book, wrong title.
This is fair for certain languages like JS or Java (IntelliJ is amazing), but not as much for less popular languages. I started learning Rust a few years ago, where the Rust plugin for Jetbrains IDEs was still in its infancy. Switching to VSCode specifically for rust-analyzer was a great decision for me, due to the amount of tooling included.

VSCode is popular because it is easy to learn for a beginner and shares much of the language server tooling with Vim and other popular editors. If you write a language server, it can work across multiple editors like VSCode and Neovim. (Though not Jetbrains IDEs, as far as I'm aware.) Writing a plugin for Jetbrains will only work for Jetbrains, so there's less incentive.

While Jetbrains have more powerful IDEs for specific languages, its less popular when VSCode, Vim, Helix, etc. all work together.
How does 6lb of gas release 20lbs of CO2?

I found this[1] link from the EPA with a number similar to yours, 8.8kg per gallon of gas, but they say it "creates" rather than "emits." I'm still struggling with this creation of mass out of thin air...

We're really liking the combination of using Rust, AWS Lambda functions, and ECS Fargate. Everything runs well in ARM, but make sure to use `musl` instead of `glibc` - we've found memory usage to be almost 10x lower with `musl` than `glibc` for our use case (indexing and searching logs). If anyone wants to talk about the tech, happy to answer questions!

Combining the word with a prefix or suffix would not work since it would be a consumer brand and it makes the word somewhat difficult both for english speakers and other languages. In addition, the average american would probably have a tough time pronouncing it or even knowing what it means with the prefix that I thought of which is the only one that works (de<name>, which also describes the business very well)
I've recently been looking into socio-economic diversity (i.e. coming from a poor/blue collar background) and how it affects progression at professional companies.

People from lower soc-ec backgrounds tend to focus on technical excellence, and wait to be noticed and promoted, rather than engaging in more overt self promotion. There is a great video on the topic by a guy called Luke Hart here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwKcjg5lPk8
That issue is exactly what we've fixed in this release of the Determinate Nix Installer, though, so if you use it today you should be covered for future upgrades :).

> > This is obviously not foolproof, but it seems like a substantial bulwark against obvious confounders.

> I mean...they had controls? That's good. But otherwise, there's no way you can tell from what is written. Even if the controls are perfect (which I don't grant without more detail), the implementation of the controls can still allow for confounding.

> > they were comparing children who were eligible for the vaccine and those who weren't, and that couldn't have been easily confounded

> You can trivially get confounding based on that. Just pick the kids who are healthier, and call them "eligible". Or pick the ones who are older (which they did, as you note), and voila...infinite time bias! Kids who make it to age N are more likely to survive to age N+1 than kids who make it to age N-1 (I mostly disregarded the between-group differences based on age, for this exact reason. It's too easily confounded.)

They did use two control groups, that's the whole point so you compare the difference between the age groups for the area where they vaccinated and the area where they didn't. That reduces confounding factors, e.g. based on area.

> More commonly, bias of this form sneaks into a study. Particularly in a place like sub-saharan Africa, the set of people who are even willing to engage with you, mysterious doctor-magician, are of a fundamentally different nature than the ones you never see. They probably do all sorts of things that make them a little bit healthier, on average.

And you base that assertion on what? Your prejudice ("mysterious doctor-magician", do you think about what you're implying here?!). In reality based on the studies I have read people in underdeveloped nations are significantly more likely to engage with health professionals and less likely to believe in anti vax or other anti science prkpaganda across all classes than in developed nations. Also one should note that in developed nations the effect is the other way around, anti vax sentiments are strongest (and therefore less likely to get vaccinated) in richer classes, who tend to generally have healthier lifestyles.

> It's hard to correct for that, and it's a real problem when the primary metric is "community survey of all-cause mortality". For example: are the community surveyors also magical stranger doctor-magicians, or are they just regular people? It matters.

It's much easier to look at all cause mortality than cause specific mortality, because you include more confounding factors. It's the much better study.
In my long career of first hitchhiking the world and then bicycle-touring/bikepacking it, I have spent hundreds of nights outside stealth camping, but I have been caught more often than you suggest happens. Farmers in some places do daily rides around their land to check for squatters or illegal tree-felling. Male friends so often like to walk into the woods and drink (and fire off weapons, which can be unnerving to one sleeping). And I’ve been told by forest rangers that they are increasingly using drones to surveil forests instead of having to go down every trail themselves.

I think the refrain has more to do with inheritance being heavily promoted as the reason for doing OO in the early 90's till the mid 00's. I believe even Bjarne Stroustrup said if you're not doing inheritance, it's not OO and you should stick to C.

Also, while one can do composition about as easily as inheritance, it still has its warts in languages like C++. If you want to unit test code, it's recommended to use dependency inversion instead of regular composition - there are other good reasons to do DI as well. But when you start coding the same stuff in non-OO paradigms, you realize that it's just much easier - stuff like DI was popularized to get around the flaws of the OO implementation in those languages. The same goes for most OO design patterns.

That seems to be the implication of this attack. The mitigation referenced by the web page are being rolled out in newer versions of Safari and iOS, according to other comments in these threads.

The mitigation seems to be to split the process space.

From the paper:

Attacking Gmail. With Google being one of the world’s largest email providers, it is highly likely for a target to be signed in with their personal account. By having the event listener inside the attacker’s page access execute window.open(gmail.com), we can consolidate the target’s inbox view into the attacker’s address space. We then leak the contents of the target’s inbox, see Figure 11.
Recovering Android Text Messages. Android users can send and receive text messages from a browser window by pairing their phone with Google’s Messages platform. Thus, by opening Google Messages using window.open(), we can recover a target’s text messages without attacking their mobile phone itself.

This reads like a euphemism.
Olivine comes from Norway, which uses hydro power. The energy in extracting and crushing is around 4kg CO2/ton. Pulverizing is around 30-50kgCO2/ton rock. Majority of transport is on water (ocean, river), which is low emissions. In the end, for every ton of rock around 850kg of CO2 are removed.

For basalt, it's around 200kg net, so the supply chains have to be shorter.

I checked my math with the DOE's experts, and it checks out.
That actually happens with some frequency where I live, and they either use the old-school card imprint machines, or take down your number manually, or some terminals have an offline mode where it'll save the cards and then batch-run them later. It's also rare enough that it's not an issue at all in regular life.

Edit: Just to clarify, obviously this can't be both common and rare... what I meant is that different neighborhoods will frequently go down, but there's usually some neighborhood within a 10-min drive that still has power, or some food truck has a cellular connection off their iPad PoS that still works, or you happen to have cash in your wallet or whatever or know the guy and they'll just put it on your tab for next time, whatever. I live in a semi-rural community in Oregon and we have a lot of small businesses, a lot of wildfires, and not a whole lot of infrastructure. We just kinda make do when things happen.

A couple weeks ago, half the town lost power for the whole day, and the other half of the town just got some increased business and traffic. Life was back to normal the next day.

I wonder how slightly different wording of that question, or prompting with examples would alter the numbers. 23% is higher than I'd expect for the question as it was worded, and yet I wouldn't be surprised to see a 50% number if a pollster linked it to a specific hot-button issue.

My personal belief is that we're on a downward trend for political violence. Mainstream media acceptance of violence was very high when it was associated with BLM protests, with violence being "the voice of the unheard" and a valid reaction to an unjust judicial system. Perhaps peaking with California's Maxine Waters pretty clearly calling for violence if the Chauvin trial didn't have her desired outcome.

Fortunately, after Jan 6th, the mainstream media did a hard 180 on their treatment of political violence. Obviously there will always be fringe elements agitating and exaggerating, but it looks like the mainstream narratives now are more about fixing the system and/or working within it, rather than burning the system down or using violence to intimidate the people in the system to appease protestors.
If it were truly about tracking bad people down, you wouldn't need a planetary wide dataset.

Heard an anecdote from an architect in south Texas: if you have land there, and it rains enough, your land can become a protected wetland. Now you can't build on it.
Neither are human names.

The point is it's a different name which can lead to a name collisions where before there was none wore a collision which only happens on some systems.

The result can be not so funny things from less harmful things like problems with reservations for idk. concert tickets or worse hotel rooms to very harmful things like you getting wrongly negative credit scores, being wrongfully investigated for a crime, getting your business bank account locked because of wrongful detection of likely supporting terrorists etc.

And while some people might argue that given that human names are not unique non of this should happen that sadly isn't how the world works.And while I can't find links to it anymore because it was a few years ago there had been cases of the first two cases. And at least cases of the last wrt. other kinds of spelling errors so it definitely can happen.

Let's not forget the massive CO2 generated by mining, processing, and transporting crushed rock.

I used to work on SAG (semiautonomous grind) mills for fine grind on copper-bearing ore. Grinding rock is incredibly energy inefficient. I would suspect this entire process is carbon-positive despite the atmospheric capture.

It seems we will do anything to avoid the obvious - we need to reduce energy use and transition to green generation.

First, that is not because of writing system specifically, but because of the rhythmic structure of Japanese language, see, for example, this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_HLY0Rss-g

Second, in Japanese dubs these words are not usually actual English words, but Japanese words originated as borrowings from English language, so voice actors don't actually mangle them, the same way as English speaking people don't mangle the word "coffee" as they usually pronounce it, despite it being different from how Italians pronounce "caffè".
Could you critique my sort of closing argument just below where I mention the Gish-Galloping thing? I wonder if that is a bit more explicit and clarifying with respect to what I've been discussing here.

Genuinely would appreciate
You seem to be implying that C now has a formal spec.
It depends on the feedstock, and how far you truck it (last mile) but in general this is one of the most bang-for-the-buck CDR approaches, with yields of 5-10x CO2 removed vs CO2 required.
what about using rock that's already being crushed for processes like that? Still have the transport but may as well use the ground stuff for something.

Considering I just moved from 25Mb VDSL to 1Gb GPON in the last few months I find it very useful: certainly my software updates come down much more quickly (though my SSH CLI sessions for work as a sysadmin aren't really that different).

Serious follow-up question: So the difference between 'managed' and 'serverless' databases is that for the former I know some level of infrastructure (CPU, RAM, size, etc.) whereas for the latter it's completely hidden and priced in?

I don't know where this "softening EV demand" narrative that's all over the news is coming from, but I don't have the numbers at my fingertips so I guess it could be true.

As a Tesla owner living in flyover country, I would say aside from politics there's a few things influencing the market.

- People still assume Tesla = $100K+ car. Nobody knows what Model 3 or Model Y or Model S is, and I can't blame them since the cars all look the same

- People still see my car and ask me what the gas mileage is, even when they know it's a Tesla, they just assume Teslas are hybrid cars like a Prius

- People still have no idea where the Supercharging stations are or that they even exist, because there aren't nearly enough of them around here

- People still haven't processed the idea that you can plug in your car and charge it at home
I found VSCode's remote plugins to be a really good option when the code lives on a shared remote machine over a slow connection. vim+scp is an extra step on each change, vim over ssh is just awkward, and sshfs isn't the most reliable piece of software.
"Grow for years" only really works if your SaaS also exists in years. I can't imagine deciding to run a production DB with a custom RLS thing going on without being able to directly port that off-provider in a worst case scenario. Supabase sort of gets around this by being open source, but even then depending on their custom setup gives me a little anxiety. Not sure about other managed/"serverless" Postgres.
