Not to mention you need monadic and nonmonadic versions of every higher order function (or so it feels like) - map / mapM, fold / foldM, etc.

This is even worse in Rust, which requires you to have a separate implementation for every effect as well (since it doesn't have higher kinded types)
I’d be careful with Hetzner. I was doing nothing malicious and signed up. I had to submit a passport which was valid US. It got my account cancelled. I asked why and they said they couldn’t say for security reasons. They seem like an awesome service, I don’t want knock them I just simply asked if I could resubmit or something the mediate and they said no. I don’t blame them just be careful. I’m guessing my passport and face might have trigged some validation issues? I dunno.
But you are not at all required to follow some prior linear order in the linear order of your own time. If I want to smelt steel, I don't need to learn to smelt bronze first. What rings true is the eternal best advice: think for yourself.
I would like to add a book called "Think Like a CTO" [0] by Alan Williamson. The author has experiences as a CTO in different companies. He also give a lot of advice. The book is not only applicable for CTOs, but also other leadership roles. It discusses various topics from team management to technology decisions.

edit: the book was already mentioned by mattferderer [1].

Second on this. Not being able to run a solution entirely local introduces massive friction in terms of being able to reason with said solution.

When you need to have 200+ parts running to do anything, it can be hard to work in a single piece that touches a couple others.

With servers that have upwards of 128+ cores and 256+ threads, my opinion is swinging back in favor of monoliths for most software.

Please name a mass produced passenger car sold in North America in the last 30 years that doesn’t have power brakes. There aren’t “many” cars that fit that constraint and I’d be shocked if there are any at all. There might be a handful that don’t have power steering but even that’s going to be extremely uncommon.

Does your Subaru have a steering lock? A quick search suggests it does. So you better hope you don’t hit a bump with the ignition off.

crazy how influential that little book is. funny enough, I grew up on Ready Player One, and by the time i got old enough to start seriously getting into tech, reading Snow Crash was like re-reading RP1 but if RP1 was actually a good story and not written by an incel copying Neal Stephenson.

This article is FUD by the CEO of a big tech lobbying firm[0], which lobbied against opening up the walled app store gardens in the US.

The long and short of it is that this talks about expanding product liability laws in the EU. Currently, software doesn't fall within the PLD, and software developers can shrug and say their software was provided as is if damages occur (e.g., loss of data, data leak, etc.), whereas manufacturers of merchandise are on the hook if their product causes damage (e.g., fire)

The EU says this isn't good enough and wants to include software in the PLD. This would only pertain to commercially exploited software (e.g., sold, provided with maintenance contracts, etc.), excluding tiny software developers.

The only relation this has to FOSS is that software developers that use FOSS in their product would need to, you know, make sure they know what they are including in their software (something they should do anyway).

This has zero effect on Joe Schmoe and their GitHub repo, but this lobbyist likes you to think otherwise to help him stop this change in EU regulation.

That's it.

> Most state in React isn't exposed because it's managed by the OOP DOM. Scroll positions, focus, press state of buttons, cached bitmaps, autofill state, lists of event handlers etc.

For someone writing stuff in React all that is effectively the "runtime", and whether it's being managed in OOP, FP, or some other fashion is an implementation detail. (You don't e.g. subclass DOM classes when writing React).

> The combination of the React concept with static typing doesn't mix well at all.

Hasn't been my experience at all, shrug, my main job does a lot of stuff with React in Scala.js and it works very well.

It is obviously a valid research, as it proves a possible security flaws in the process.

Yeah typically I just dump things in the “reading list” on phone, which I eventually exfiltrate and clear every year or so on my phone, or add it to a list via the onetab extension on desktop.

Most of this is just “emotional support bookmarks” because I’m a pathological data hoarder that apparently needs to catalog and sort the entirety of human knowledge. Saving a list of links tricks my brain into releasing this intrusive anxiety and keeps me from engaging in this odd sort of compulsion.

But out of a thousand or two links a year, there are in fact a few dozen times I reach back to reference or use something I found.

Haven’t learned physic though. So far unit conversion, geometry and algebra have been all I’ve needed in my line of work in regards to equation solving, as I did agricultural plot trials for a bit.

As to your other question, unless it is directed you need to look at each element. The real question is how to iterate over a 2d array. There are several methods and really that is all this question is looking for.
Docker is slowly improving tooling for reproducible builds. I'm working in a blog post presently about how to do it. Reproducible images allow others to audit the build. If you're worried about third party build systems getting infected and injecting malware (unknown to the otherwise trustworthy publisher), this can help.

At the moment I'm rat-holing on apt package pinning, which doesn't work at all like I expected. Looking like I'm stuck between the Debian snapshot archive and vendoring .deb files (I don't like either).

>”But as long as I legally obtained the information in the book (by buying the book), I don't need to pay the author for the book review itself because a book review likely is fair use.”

Agreed. A review is generally a personal reaction to a piece of art, and therefore inherently new work.

However, if you’re selling summarized versions of the book as a service, it’s a bit trickier.

When AI exists that is capable of a personal reaction to a work of art, along with the capability of earning money and therefore being able to purchase the book, these questions will be more pertinent. Until that time, we are dealing with people/companies who have included whole cloth existing work into the technology they’re selling to others as a service — a situation well within the realm of licensing laws, which appear to have been utterly ignored in an attempt to force convenient legislation (similarly to the various scooter companies who littered cities with their product and demanded legislation be enacted to their wishes, rather than those of the existing, law-abiding society).

NB: the AI producing books is not the main concern I’m addressing. Most books sold to humans are simply read, not used as fodder for further work — but they still require compensation for merely ingesting the material in the first place. AI is not a human, it is a product. The fact that it can produce further data in no way negates the need to license the data upon which its foundations are built.

There are more sports than football and baseball and soccer.

The point everyone is making is that you could have modernized the VB6/Lazarus approach to meet modern needs and it would have been much more productive than what we have currently with html+css.

Indirectly related question, I’m thinking about starting into PCBs, have downloaded KiCAD and started playing around.

You want to compare "the collected works of Milton", the Bible, and TAoCP to the Chronicles of Narnia? We're not talking about arbitrary collections of books, we're talking about fictional works with strong continuity between them in setting and events, among other criteria.

But if it's not that good, yeah, go ahead and skip some parts. I did account for that case, but whatever. This is entertainment, not deep moral truth.
“ Let me let you in on a little secret: if you think that generative AI can do serious journalism better than a massive organization with a huge number of reporters, then, um, you deserve to go out of business.”

It should be quite simple that if NYT is not that good anyway don’t use it in your training. But if you use it you should pay, isn’t that obvious?

The charcoal is only carbon negative if we also bury it. Those “other options” all fall under “sequestration“.
Possibly, but just because there is a lot of scattered evidence for salt being used in religious/ritualistic ways over the ages, doesn't mean it was important everywhere for that reason and at every time.

I like the article for sticking to the textual evidence we have and concluding "we don't know" instead of speculating.

However if you have anything concrete on the religious meaning of salt in Ancient Rome that would be interesting.
If dev machine speed is important, why would you develop on a laptop?

I really like my laptop. Spend a lot of time typing into it. It's limited to a 30W or similar power budget on thermal and battery constraints. Some of that is spent on a network chip which grants access to machines with much higher power and thermal budgets.

Current employer has really scary hardware behind a VPN to run code on. Previous one ran a machine room with lots of servers. Both expected engineer laptops to be mostly thin clients. That seems obviously the right answer to me.

Thus marginally faster dev laptops don't seem very exciting.
Author here: this probably took a 2.5 days to put together, all in.

The first day was spent hacking together a new hot reloaded but this also fixed a lot of issues we’d had with the previous loader such as restarting into stale code, which was really harming people’s productivity. That was well worth even several days of effort really!

The second day I was just messing around with OpenAI to figure out how I’d do this analysis. We’re right now building an AI assistant for our actual product so you can ask it “how many times did I get paged last year? How many were out-of-hours? Is my incident workload increasing?” Etc and I wanted an excuse to learn the tech so I could better understand that feature. So for me, well worth investing a day to learn.

Then the article itself took about 4hrs to write up. That’s worth it for us given exposure for our brand and the way it benefits us for hiring/etc.

We trust the team to make good use of their team and allowing people to do this type of work if they think it’s valuable is just an example of that. Assuming I have a £1k/day rate (I do not) we’re still only in for £2.5k, so less than a single MacBook to turn this around.
There are also pneumatic computers. Here is the recent article: https://cacm.acm.org/news/275366-pneumatic-computing-gains-a..., but I remember (around 30 years ago) mentions of them in the field of nuclear reactors…

> there is definitely something in the culture where it's common for docs and how-tos and Q/A to tell you what to do, the steps/commands/etc, but to do little to help you build any kind of relevant domain model.

So very true and this is actually my biggest complaint with MSDN nowadays. It's so difficult to built a mental model of what's actually going on, which makes the documentatino difficult if your needs aren't exactly what the documentation is describing.

Try the debates over the order for The Prisoner.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Prisoner_episodes

I watched it in KTEH order on Saturday (or Sunday?) Science Fiction night.
I can't imagine how jarring the transition between _The Magician's Nephew_ and _The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe_ must be if you read them in that order for the first time. They're tonally very different -- Nephew feels more like Lewis' earlier science fiction novels, while Wardrobe has a fairy-tale quality. Nephew feels more "adult" (not necessarily in a good way).

Similarly, the transition between _The Silver Chair_ (a great book) and _The Last Battle_ (an awful book) might seem shocking without the two intervening books (one which is both good and awful, and the other of which is decent but uneven).
I used to use a GL.iNet device as a travel router in the past but I would never do so today given they are made under CCP control. You'd want to flash stock openwrt but then you'd lose the simple/quick UI.
Of course, and as I recall, it had Perl code in it. Classic SciFi in the sense that you take reality, break one and only one rule, and see what happens as you move through time.
If this detects things that Docker misses, then it's a good product. Consider adding support for GitHub Actions so a PR can automatically kick off a scan. You'll see lots of repeat images, so cache appropriately. With an integration, I think you could charge a subscription for this tool.
Late in responding to this but take for example using Home Assistant to integrate all the things - environmentals, presence, energy monitoring, switching, access, audio, video, etc. I don’t even think my house is all that sophisticated compared to some, but there’s no way an off the shelf plug-n-play solution delivers this today. I know way more about zigbee, Insteon, Zwave, tasmota, protocol border routers, gateways, dual band repeaters, bad and good vendors, leading vs trailing edge dimming and component value than I want to, and that’s just to get things talking effectively and reliably. Then there’s the automation build out - rules, data storage, state, events, triggers, oh my! And that’s atop an existing knowledge for managing vlans, WiFi, and the rest of the network stack. There’s also an assumption of comfort with residential wiring, of course. It requires hobby-level commitment from someone in house who becomes the SME. I enjoy it to an extent, though I wish it was easier, and it’s just not when I step back and take stock of all the obscure knowledge it takes. It’s kind of hilarious.
Ironic...

Anyway, I'm comforted to know that the magic hand of the market will solve this problem in the most efficient way and with a proper focus on the climate, as it always has.
it's a pretty interesting paper, it probably answers your questions.
paragraph preceding my last quote:

In the US between 1956 and 1976, while the dollar depreciated by 17.8%, the real domestic cost of
producing steel grew by 37%. Although steel had historically been a materials-intensive sector, by
1956 in the US, labor and materials each accounted for about the same share of unit input costs. Each
also grew in real terms by roughly the same rate from 1956 to 1976: unit labor costs by 35% and unit
material costs by 38%. Each therefore made like contributions to a loss in US comparative advantage
in steelmaking. The main reason for the rise in unit material costs was a 48% increase of the real price of
iron ore and (with our 1976 end date falling in the aftermath of the 1973 oil price shock) a near dou-
bling of the real price of coke.
