Honestly?
I believe that the new hype of Server Side Rendering (SSR) frameworks is only a matter of vendor lock-in: when you have SSR, you *NEED* edge rendering, which only a few vendors can provide today.

Single Page Applications (SPA) are totally fine. My blog is an SPA (https://kerkour.com) and has no problem being indexed by the major search engines.

It's actually way faster than most webapps using new shiny new SSR frameworks as I can cache with precision the different chunks/assets.

Finally, everything is served from a server than barely uses more than 50 MB of RAM even under high load. Last time I looked, Next apps needed around 500MB-1GB of RAM to serve only a few visitors.
After a while there will be a time when you will have to be lending others API, for that yes crucial I guess.

Ubuntu Core Linux Developer Preview is ready for testing
yes! what we did was use a task runner to encapsulate the work in a “ci” task. you can run it locally, and then the GHA runner does little more than clone, install a couple depa and run the task.
In a pretty significant way, you also can't "earn" money in a physical casino, negative EVs and everything.

There is a very limited set of circumstances in which playing a game with negative EV can be rational (e.g. if your utility function for money isn't linear); everything else seems like a more or less thinly disguised attempt to exploit certain properties of the human mind's/brain's reward system. (It's a philosophical question on whether consent can even theoretically be given to that exploitation.)

I'd argue that the magnitude of the expected loss per game (i.e. everything or only a fraction of it – but in iterated games it's always everything as well) is much less relevant than that.
I searched for "github actions random exit codes" and didn't find anything.
> NixOS differs from something like Ansible in that it’s inherently declarative, through and through...

The following explanation in the blogpost suggests that it's not the 'declarative' nature, so much as the application.. I liked the terms "convergent" and "congruent" that I first saw in https://flyingcircus.io/blog/thoughts-on-systems-management-...

"convergent" is "attempts to reach a target state" (like a Terraform apply), whereas "congruent" is "forced to target state" (like destroying/launching a VM).

You don’t even have to go to a casino. I personally wouldn’t look at a poker night with friends as being much different than getting together to play a board game.
Yes, but it is a bit of work. I wouldn't mind using a realtor for their experience in the field, but 6% is absolutely bonkers for most normal house purchasing processes. Their work simply isn't that valuable and is being kept at that level due to non-competitive practices. If the realtor just shows me the home and does a little negotiating and some paperwork for me....maybe $2k at most for that service, but $12k for a $200k house? Ridiculous.
If their goal is to be anonymous as possible, why did they give you the data in the first place? If they're aware of your practices and still in the loop, then presumably their relationship with you is such that some degree of trade-off is acceptable.

I think the better focus for the article would be on transparency. I didn't write the script because I was conforming to some well defined policy about what's in bounds and what's out. I wrote it because somewhere in my heart I felt a vague duty to improve the situation. I'm getting a little pushback on my defense of the script--which is fair--but better would be to scrutinize the policies under which I had to ask my gut about it in the first place.
The 4-day workweek: How one Ohio manufacturer is making it work
Presumably because you set certain conditions and regulations on the certified operators, with the threat of revoking certification if they fail to comply with these regulations.

I would suggest, for instance, that someone about to bet more than 99% of people must have a chat with an official who verifies that they know they're addicted and present options for rehab.
It honestly probably would help a lot of people to hear how it's supposed to sound first. It's easy to tell how striking the difference is, but it's probably a lot more obvious how much better it is when you're comparing to a "ground truth".

Mostly because its pathetic and in a way, its poetic justice. Smart enough to save six figures, most definitely didn't cry victimhood when they "won big", but dumb enough to think that setting up multiple devices could improve their odds. Seems like they're sore losers, not victims.
The problem is that GitHub Action offers a large ecosystem of reusable actions that you can't easily call from a script.
This is a really good point. Most of my deploys go via GitHub Actions these days and it's not easy for me to deploy manually should I need to when Actions is unavailable - I should fix that!

What? You hopefully do run your tests locally. The premise that you have to run them via the GHA configuration is only an annoyance. Same as I've never seen people running the Jenkins pipelines locally.
In the end it's up to you to develop your tests "local first".

> A South Dakotan trust changes all that: it protects assets from claims from ex-spouses, disgruntled business partners, creditors, litigious clients and pretty much anyone else. It won’t protect you from criminal prosecution, but it does prevent information on your assets from leaking out in a way that might spark interest from the police. And it shields your wealth from the government, since South Dakota has no income tax, no inheritance tax and no capital gains tax.

I agree that its like microservices, but the problem is turned up to 11 with serverless. 1 microservice now becomes 10 lambdas. The issue is fundamentally one of discovery, and as teams churn out more and more functions, that arent all in the same repo, youre bound to lose traxk of whats happening.
These sweetheart taxation deals should stop in Ireland and other tax havens. It benefits none; although on paper it looks that Ireland is doing too well, the reality is not that rosy for its residents.
I've wondered for a while: is there a space for a (new?) language which invisibly maximises performance, whatever hardware it is run on?

As in, every instruction, from a simple loop of calculations onward, is designed behind the scenes so that it intelligently maximises usage of every available CPU core in parallel, and also farms everything possible out to the GPU?

Has this been done? Is it possible?

Not really a great analogy because someone else’s gambling problem is not going to get you killed on the way home from work.

I would support some kind of rule where you can’t generate more than $1,000 / yr or something off the same user. Does that change the entire economics of the social game industry? Yes, that’s the point.

I bought a high speed sheet-fed scanner to be used with paperless-ngx
based on a recent thread on HN. Before that my filing system for
financial statements and other important documents was verging on
meltdown and causing me considerable anxiety, but now that burden has
been lifted. The scanner is configured to send documents directly to a
home network file server that's always on and will store them until
the next time I boot my desktop rig, so it's nearly frictionless to
drop every piece of mail that comes through the door immediately into
the scanner, which has a box under it, instead of piling it up on my
desk where it used to stay for months. I wish I started this years ago
and I thank everyone who contributed to that thread. Honorable
mention: a printer with liquid ink tanks for £100 with thousands of
pages worth of ink has just replaced a £30 inkjet printer I got ten
years ago that made me cough up another £30 or £40 pounds every time
the cartridges ran out. It's expensive to be poor.
You're also generalizing though. The point is that either outcome could happen and you should be mindful of that. If you specifically never have an issue like that, good for you! But other people have been burned, and it's not any more valid for you to dismiss their experience.
Yeah its weird. I watched the Expanse, and while I appreciated the more realistic space physics, I thought everything else sucked. The acting was bad, the CGI backgrounds were incredibly distracting. It was very obvious that everyone was emoting in front of green screens.

When I watch BSG, I believe that the actors are characters in the universe, its the opposite with the Expanse, everyone just feels like actors saying lines.

I was flabbergasted that people loved this show outside of the physics.
The way we approach making changes and embracing them can really make or break the organization. Doing it the right way will ensure that the organization thrives, on the opposite side, doing it the wrong way can cause a lot more problems than benefits.

What are your thoughts?

I use it almost exclusively to help me approach novel problems, or at least problem spaces that I am severely lacking expertise in. It’s pretty incredible for helping me leverage my extant programming knowledge to accomplish things that I couldn’t before due to being blocked by research.

I’ve also used it quite a lot for advice as I was learning project management and moving away from individual contributions.

So I think as a consultant it has value, though I think “world class” might be a bit hyperbolic, since I still need to validate its output.
> Business might have a policy for cashiers to never have more than, say, $200 in the drawer.

It’s easy for a cart of groceries to come out to $200 these days; how do these businesses accept cash in the first place?
> But for some reasons professional programmers are judged under a much higher moral standard

Not in the real world. Most programmers who are trying to get a job done won’t avoid CUDA or AWS or other tools just to avoid “contributing to a monopoly”. When responsible programmers have a job to do and tools are available to help with the job, they get used.

A programmer who avoids mainstream tools on principle is liable to get surpassed by their peers very quickly. I’ve only met a few people like this in industry and they didn’t last very long trying to do everything the hard way just to avoid tools from corporations or monopolies or open source that wasn’t pure enough for their standards.

It’s only really in internet comment sections that people push ideological purity like this.
I like the description "monstrous nuclear chaos beyond angled space" as it implies that Azathoth isn't a reasoning, thinking being, but something that is totally beyond human comprehension. As an atheist, one thing that annoys me about the depictions of various deities is when they have petty human reasoning and desires. I like to think the relationship is more akin to ants thinking about humans - the ants have no way to even grasp the nature of humans and humans have no interest (or at least most people don't) in what an ant believes or worships.
Testing locally, I agree with.

Deployments, I think it'd be fair to consider the requirements. At work, our softare can be tested locally but deployments are all registered against a central authority, and after a point of composing enough access requirements, only then does a role (cicd in this case) have enough policy allowance to perform a deployment.

The entire transaction is auditable. And I think that with a deployment, that's how it should be; allowing that trust down to a local environment strikes me that too much permission is accured with a single entity.

I guess that we could better define what a deployment is; to some nonprod environments I'd agree, but I'd still probably insist on the heavy machinery up at the test, perf, qa, areas, and then getting into staging and prod, there'd be no wiggle room.
Yep! I saw YouTube videos of that workflow before posting the comment. I will say that I generally don't need Blender levels of control (or maybe I do and just don't know it yet) so a simplified set of primitives in a stripped down UI would be great.
My only issue with it is that you need a lot of tweaking to get a compact layout. Other than that, it's a key part of what makes Python such an incredibly useful language.

> People are literally celebrating a net positive carbon activity like they’ve accomplished something

In the same way we celebrate EV and PV production, even though those may still be carbon-positive at the outset. Especially when they were still in prototyping.
How do you solve the discoverability issue when theres 1000 serverless functions written by 10 different teams then? Serverless worsens the issue of having knowledge of the entire system i think, and i dont think this is even solvable.
It's no different then any other online game like clash of clans or pokemon go or even FIFA. You spend money to be allowed to spin the wheel more, the more you spin the better your chance at winning some in game shiny trophy to show off to others competing for the same shiny trophy. The addiction comes purely from the fact that thousands or millions of other people can see your progress and are competing against you to earn better.
I’m sorry for how this impacted your life, but congratulations for doing what you needed to do.
The domain apex has always been a problem for hosting companies. Since the apex domain is usually overloaded (TXT SPF MX records etc) it’s very easy for the A record to be modified or lost unintentionally.

It’s more because Nix doesn’t follow the standard file system.

Except that the mobile browser does all that reflowing and resizing at the direction of CSS (its own fallback CSS in the absence of supplied applicable CSS).

Restricting CSS to any degree is in no way a solution here. What you really want is for people producing websites to bother understanding CSS and how to properly direct the design in a device-independent manner. Because CSS is fully capable of doing so at this point.
It's different though. Poker with friends, you can only ever win as much as your friends put in, which usually isn't going to be that much. You're right -- it feels closer to a board game.

But at a casino, there's no similar limit to how much you can win. It feels like your dreams could literally come true in Las Vegas, that you could come back home and buy a new house. Poker with buddies doesn't include that possibility.

Worse: this type of greenwashing gives businesses (and politics) an excuse to do even less about the actual problem.

> Sure, but if you've never used CUDA or any other GPU framework, how many lines of documentation do you need to read, and how many lines of code are you likely to write and rewrite and delete before you end up with those <100 lines of working code?

If you're already familiar with one of the languages that the nvidia compiler supports? Not that many. For people familiar with C or C++, it's a couple extra attributes, and a slightly different syntax for launching kernels vs a regular function call. I'm admittedly not experienced with Fortran, which is the other language they support, so I can't speak to that. There's c-style memory allocation functions, which might be annoying to C++ devs, but it's nothing that would confuse them.

Edit: There's also a couple weird magic globals you have access to in a kernel (blockIdx, blockDim, threadIdx), but those are generally covered in the intros.
There are four acts to the clause. It says first that you can't sell it, however, if you do want to sell it, Tesla has right of first refusal, but then the right of first refusal turns into a prohibition on sale again at the end.

Fair critique, totally depends on what kind of software we're talking about and where the deployment is happening. In general though, how screwed are you if your CI environment goes down? Can you not deploy anything? That would be scary.

My point, however, was mostly that the logic necessary to deploy should live as part of your codebase, not written out in YAML. The privs necessary to deploy are a separate discussion.
I’m not sure if that’s a good idea at the moment, but we should start with making development with vector instructions more approachable. The code should look more or less the same as working with u64s.
They control aspects that can adversely affect others in the community --- with disclosure and mutual consent.

Restricting repairs to your iPhone only affects you and Apple's profits --- and there was no disclosure or consent --- i.e. buyer's weren't told in advance.
Regarding the iPhone, Apple's behaviour wasn't that nice:

- The throttling slowed down some devices so much that it made the phone laggy. There was no way to disable the feature.

- If you asked for help in their stores they wouldn't tell you that you needed a new battery and why don't you just buy a new phone btw?

- Apple only added a setting disable the behaviour and started offering cheaper battery replacements after being sued.

It's a useful feature, but without a way to disable it, they essentially forced those most affected to pay them for a new phone. That's when I stopped buying iPhones.
Yes, famously, gambling has caused zero suicides.
I need a buyers guide: what's the minimum to spend, and best at a few budget tiers? Unfortunately that info changes occasionally and I'm not sure if there's any resource that keeps on top of things.
For what it's worth, the upper limit for subitization varies quite a bit.

The neurotypical limit is usually four, but can be raised with practice. Children with Down's Syndrome may not be able to subitize at all. Autistic savants can subitize up to thirty or more, with unconfirmed cases up to several hundred.
I find a focus on uniqueness tricky. A lot times, firms within the same business line have a lot of commonalities between each other and products and services are quite fungible. The particular uniquenesses might not be worth much.

Agree. In Lovecraft’s hands, I regard it as maybe the most-honest and -accurate depiction of cosmic reality—of that horror-adjacent feeling one may experience trying to actually imagine the universe—in fiction, but the effect falls apart if you start filling in the gaps. Most of the broader “mythos” stuff since Lovecraft can still be fun in about the same way that Catholic mythology’s fertile ground for horror, but it’s not the same thing and it’s not as interesting.
Most of the world runs on that classical education. It underpins all human interaction and politics.

It's incredible to me that so many people still don't realize that GPT-4 is a completely different level from other LLMs.

It's like if an alien visited and the first place they went was to a convention for Special Needs people and then they decided that humans were too stupid to talk to. Or rather, there was a Mensa convention next door with a $20 entrance fee and they figured it wasn't worth it.

Or rather, for $20 everyone at the Mensa convention agreed to log in to a special app and wait 24/7 for any time you have a question. Then they would instantly select the most knowledgeable among them in that subject and immediately enter a reply incredibly quickly.
We’ve burned all the easily available fossil fuels though. So there won’t be another Industrial Revolution on the same blueprint as the one we experienced. The next one will be much more difficult.

I read somewhere that the Earth now has so much more fungi that substantial new fossil fuel deposits won’t develop even over hundreds of millions of years. If that’s true, we were lucky bastards to have chanced on the only easily accessible massive fuel resources in this planet’s entire history.
Doing this also means that your build scripts are version controlled. You can iterate on the build scripts in different branches, for example.
That's the draw of having a borrow checker, which is arguably the contributor to the biggest pain points of Rust. Everything is a tradeoff. Rust's "unsafe" blocks are also a tradeoff. To my understanding, Rice's theorem ensures that, for checking borrows, either all invalid programs and some valid programs are rejected, or all valid programs and some invalid programs are accepted. Given Rust's goal of overall safety, the conservative route (which rejects some valid programs) is favored.
Why would you need to rebuild the Backend? A SPA usually consumes data from services, being it HTTP/JSON, gRPC or whatnot. You server-side components can consume the very same services with no changes in the backend.
