>I will just be pickier about who i sell it to.

Honestly this kind of mindset is a huge problem in the US. You built the oven, you enjoyed the oven, and you decided to sell the house. Why do you feel the need to dictate what the owner does with the house after? If you wanted to keep the pizza oven as some kind of monument to yourself you could have kept the home.

This kind of mindset leads to stale neighborhoods, where some locals feel the need to dictate neighborhood look and feel. You end up with regulations that don't allow new construction and can even dictate dumb things like paint color. All to preserve a memory of something that is only important to the people that got to enjoy it when it was new.

This is not say nothing should ever be preserved if there is actually something of historical importance that happened there, but it seems like there's a mindset to preserve things that are trivial to the many and important to the few. Then there are places with actual historical significance [1] people are willing to just rot.

What are you trying to do? Is self hosting keycloak an option?
Except it can't, at least not reasonably quickly, because human lifespan takes 8x as long to verify as a large dog's does.
Agreed. Even if one cannot achieve an ideal, there is no reason why one should not try their hardest to live up to it, instead of abandoning it as "all or nothing".
"Secreted" doesn't mean "kept secret", it means discharged like a liquid.

You said it isn't due to high salaries, which is a relatively discrete variable, instead it's due to supply, which is an abstract variable related to many other things including the possible rate of supply change compared to who the existing supply is available to, and how much people making the supply are getting paid to make it compared to what it costs to be that person, each of which influences each other. Supply is simultaneously a very useful thing to measure, and a comparatively meaningless discrete part of a system.

Not who you replied to, but for the first 15 years of my life, if I was killed in a war by any nation, it was considered a war crime, a human rights violation. The day I turned 15*, in the estimate of the United States, the leader of the free world, if I was killed by a drone, I was an enemy solider and a legitimate target, regardless of what I did with my life (ignoring my citizenship for a moment). This level of value will continue until I turn 50 or so, at which point it will once again be considered a war crime to kill me. As somebody who has never fired a weapon or built a bomb, the reality that virtually every government in the world, even those from the Western world that are seen as human rights advocates, would look at my corpse and say "enemy combatant" to avoid taking responsibility for killing civilians - it's just one of many strange realities of the modern world.

Would love to see the infrastructure bill. Anything is possible if you throw enough $$$ at it.

I’m not a ruby hater, but the average joe can’t accomplish this. If you consider each store an individual instance with an isolated/shard of a db it makes sense. But the underlying foundation is immense.

Partitions are usually the key to scale.

I’d imagine parts of their infrastructure would be better served by different runtimes. They’d save a lot of money.

But if your entire team is hyper focused on ruby there is something to be said for a huge monolith.
Related: a couple studies have shown that spoilers actually increase people’s enjoyment of the book or movie, even for mysteries or stories with twist endings. If a story’s enjoyment relies entirely on one secret that isn’t supported by the build up to the reveal, that’s a flimsy story.

Another vote for LineageOS from me, i'm running it on my Galaxy Tab S6. Smooth as butter, better battery life than Touchwiz and no bloatware.

Some restaurants have started applying mandatory tips. I think the right way out is to reward such places with your business. It makes sense for everyone. The servers get paid proportional to the volume of business, which they can impact positively through excellent service and upselling/cross selling, without having to grovel for the money. The patrons aren’t put in the position of deciding the tip amount, and if they are unhappy about service they can take it up with management and/or not return.
blasphemy, this should immediately be moved to microservices and AWS and cost optimized and each component should be scaled separately (maybe some components only need 0.5 CPU, think of the cost saving t3.micro could bring and you have a highly available 3AZ potato to make sure it never goes down!!)

Then to handle any load we need to build autoscaling and spin up the toaster to medium potato and 20 instances (this costs 60k a month, but no worries we only pay for what we use so we will only run this for 27 minutes during our big sale).

Oh what wonderful world we live in and the pain we inflict on ourselves.

GJ Shopify for running a sane (tm) tech stack :)

(btw of course Rails scales it's shared nothing setup, spin up infinite app servers as long as the db can handle it. It's pretty expensive for compute though)
I'm curious how you reconcile the explicit rejection of morality in Nihilism with your personal morality. I feel these are in conflict.

---

Longer take:

Defining what is morally right requires value judgement, and Nihilism rejects morality. What Is (facts) can't tell us what we ought to do. [1]

To build a moral framework on what one ought to do, you must necessarily ascribe meaning and value judgement otherwise it can't claim to be moral and it would merely be actions you perform devoid of meaning.

I find that a reasonable take, and also get your sentiment Re: AGI discussion; though I think we managed a good exchange. Cheers!
I'd guess it's mostly because it was 2003 and decent BLDCs were not super common-place yet. There were some older forms (steppers, PMSMs, etc) but they generally didn't have very good torque/weight performance. Brushed motors would probably have been the answer at the time.
I think it is still a but deceptive to say this considering a well know and high usage alternative definition exists. Plus that's on commercial grade hardware.
In 1949, Charlie Munger was 25 years old. He was hired at the law firm of Wright & Garrett for $3,300 per year, or $42,000 in inflation-adjusted dollars.

This shows how much white collar salaries have really exploded over the past few decades, especially since 2010 after financial crisis bottom. White collar work is more lucrative than ever even accounting for inflation and student loan debt. The media and ppl on Twitter complain about young people going into debt to get degrees; well, those same ppl getting those fat six-figure jobs too. If lawyers and doctors earned what they earned in the 40s, i am sure student loan debt crisis would miraculously go away.
I think most people who use Okta probably do so because it's required by their employer.

Right - as long as you never return or go to a restaurant where you’re known by one of the staff as “that person.” Customers reputations often precede them more than they realize.
You're comparing apples and oranges. In America, parking at the airport is absolutely normal, because it's a car-based culture and there's generally no public transit to the airport. There's enormous parking lots for cars at all airports there. The alternative is usually a very expensive cab ride, or trying to get a friend to drive you.

In Japan, parking at the train station isn't normal in the least; I don't think they even have a place to park there. The normal way is to take public transit there. Same goes for the airports (at least in Tokyo); it's not normal to drive, it's normal to take the train, though some people take taxis because they have a lot of luggage and carrying heavy suitcases on the train is a pain.
> Closer to tens of thousands, if you use other “keyring bonsai” metrics

I'm talking about users that have the understanding and desire/need to disconnect their Signal identity from their phone number. That's hundreds of thousands, minimum, if not millions.

> Signal’s intended userbase is O(humanity).

This doesn't obviously interfere with Signal's ability to create Good privacy mechanisms, e.g. disassociation between identity and phone number.

> The complexity here is in crossing domains: Signal will need to decide how to communicate which “kind” of identity a user has, what that means, etc. They’ll need to decide whether to use random-but-intelligible identifiers (easy to make errors with) or allow people to configure identifies (which means storing more personal data, plus impersonation risks)

None of these obviously "substantially complicates Signal’s design" as you claimed earlier.

> communicate which “kind” of identity a user has

Tell the user that other users either have a "phone number" identity or a "certificate" identity. Done. They're already responsible for verifying that the phone number matches the person they think it does.

> what that means

Tell users that a "certificate identity" just means that that person isn't using a phone number. And they need to be extremely careful when interacting with people using these, and absolutely should verify them using a secure channel. Or just disable these entirely until the user taps the "about signal" button in the settings menu 7 times or something.

I don't see any problems here that can't be overcome with a very modest amount of engineering. And, because it's the right thing, they should invest that effort.
Ultimately the interesting thing to know is why they decided to stay on Rails instead of rewriting everything in a more performant language.
Avoiding political solution by a stronger party in the conflict led to the attack. I suggest to not avoid political solution in the first place.

Political solution would have costs to Israel. So does war/oppression/occupation.

Political solution did not just fell through, it was actively rejected by Israel time and time again. Israel basically invited the attack. In no world can you expect violently oppressed people to never eventually violently fight back. Israel's government just thought that it would always be able to control this with force, with just a victim here or there. It was mistaken.

I still prefer Israel to go back to political solution, and away from "annihilation" solution.

> Some people can more or only feel sorry for small children or animals, because they are obviously innocent, while a grown up could have done something to deserve it.

Now that I've had a kid, I understand what it means when people say kinds are innocent. Children are innocent in the way animals are innocent; they don't possess the mental faculties to understand morality. That doesn't means kids are good. They can be cruel, mean, and annoying, and to a very high degree. But, just like we don't consider it a moral failure of a dog when it jumps up and steals a piece of bacon from the table, so too do we not consider the things children do moral failures.

This differs from an adult. Adults understand morality, and thus can never be innocent in the same way, even if they act with the upmost character.

Honestly, the singularly wonderful thing about purchasing a home is that you can do whatever you want with it. The sky is the limit, you can make the yard into a garden, build a pizza oven into your wall, turn the basement into a gaming pad. You did all of those cool things with it!

Now, don't begrudge the people coming after you for doing the same. It's their house, not yours, and they have the chance to make it how they like it. If you want control over a thing, don't sell it. Similarly, if you want to dictate what your employees do during non work hours, you have to pay them for it. You treat something as a commodity, and it becomes a commodity.
Man, I was thinking about the gay Dumbledore thing, and the trans thing of course (JKR has very different conceptions of her characters than some of her readers do). Those are like national newspaper debates.

Yes, it is before git was created; that doesn't matter for a patent. In ClearCase, the repository is mounted on the filesystem very much like this; in Linux, it required special kernel drivers to work back when I used it (2000s).
Thanks for sharing this. You’ve articulated a nuanced balance very well.

The average joe does not need this.

If you have decent margins on the pages you're serving, Rails is fine. Where you might want to investigate other things is if you're, say, an ad driven business with really thin margins and you want to minimize costs. Or if you've got things dialed and you're just not changing things much any more and you want to eke out some savings.

And in any event, Rails is a good choice to figure out the problem space you're working in. Even Twitter started with it, and objectively, Twitter is very much not the sweet spot for Rails.
If it runs pyTorch and Tensorflow they'll be in the industrial running.
Especially for big projects, I often get the sense that failing a couple times is seen as unthinkable in the US: so a lot of ambitious initiatives lose funding or become laughingstocks because of publicized early failures. As a result, there’s a tendency to over-engineer in some areas and reduce ambitions in others.

Similar to vector databases this could be really useful for hosting cloud optimized geotiffs for mapping purposes. At a previous job we were able to do on the fly tiling in about 100ms but with this new storage class you could probably make something that could tile just as fast or even faster than arcgis with all of its proprietary optimizations and goop.

I think the artists get to say whatever they want about this bullshit considering it's entirely dependent on their work to even function.

They should have some respect for the people that do.
The US for sure knows how to build things. SpaceX alone delivered over 80% of mass to orbit while China’s entire space program can’t keep pace with a single American company. We are also killing it at EVs, again, all the great might of the Chinese economy is playing catch up to Tesla.

The thing is, we know how to build things.

Those things aren’t crappy block apartments or faster trains. They are: space ships, artificial intelligence, robotics, cutting edge medicine, etc. The name of the game is individuality, entrepreneurship, and freedom (The ingredients that built the most powerful economy in the world). These are antithetical to both their political system and their culture.

The best advice for me was: get a label maker. Centralized documentation is great, smart home stuff is usually not a big deal to factory reset in the worst case.

> Yes, this is a major point in the gospels and one of the things that was subversive at the time that's a bit lost on modern audiences. At the time, the prevailing belief was that good things happens to good people, and bad things happen to bad people.

And yet, here we are again. The prosperity gospel which a large chunk of not only American but also global evangelicals (specifically the pentecostal subset) subscribe to suggests that the rich are rich because God has blessed them. This is one explanation for why the previous president had so much support among evangelicals: He's rich and so it must mean God likes him. This is also (as the article suggests) why there has been a long and concerted effort to suggest that Jesus wasn't suggesting something entirely impossible (like the debunked city gate explanation)
It's a beautiful story. As a space fan, especially of the interplanetary type, this story was riveting to me as it unveiled details of the spacecraft testing I've never imagined. I do far less important testing in my day to day but I was able to draw some similarities with the author.

Many have posted of their failures here so I suppose I could share a couple of mine.

- Pushing gigabytes of records into a Prod table only to realize the primary key was off by a digit, rendering the data useless for a go-live. It had to be deleted by the database admins and reloaded, which took precious hours. I forget why, but an update wasn't feasible.

- A perfect storm of systems issues that lead to all servers in the pool becoming unavailable, causing an entire critical system to go dark. We got it back up within minutes, but harrowing nonetheless.

- Realizing hours before a go-live that a key data element was missing, prompting a client who was now in a code freeze to make a change (they were quite upset). Pretty sure I got an unfavorable review from that, but haven't made the same mistake since.

I haven't seen any reporting about their costs. I'm sure they're making bonkers numbers in revenue, but that doesn't mean they're profitable if they're losing money on every gpt call. You're saying my claim that they're unprofitable is unfalsifiable. The same is true for claims that they're wildly profitable. We just don't know the financial state of the company because they're not public.
