The biggest problem with Flakes right now is that they will copy your entire Git repository into the (world-readable) Nix store, rather than just the files that are referenced. Even if you're in a subdirectory - which makes is unusable for monorepos.

Flake-less Nix handles this just fine.
> willing to sacrifice a little of your personal convenience

It's not convenience, it's that the ONLY reasonably priced flights are non-refundable ones, and not everyone can afford another flight ticket just to prove a point. Another idiotic thing that we need to change.

Although I really do wish there were an "Airbus only" option when booking flight tickets. And as much as I don't normally like to stereotype things, when it comes to safety I feel I've consistently seen much better safety standards in EU than the USA. Safety seems more drilled into the European culture. I just somehow have this gut feeling that some random dude at Airbus crimping some wire probably actually did everything correctly and to specifications.

Not to mention they have stricter work hour limits in Europe, so I don't have to worry about someone doing a shoddy job due to lack of sleep.

No but that's a silly standard. I can't go back in time and blood test my infant self. We have microplastics everywhere because of their widespread use. That's been occurring for a few generations now. There is no rational reason to think that we only accumulated them when we first noticed them. No the rational explanation is its been that way as long as we've been mass exposing ourselves to plastics which is right around the end of the second world war. And if car tires are as big of a contributor as some studies indicate then its been even longer because vulcanized rubber is a prewar invention.

> Sure the moon is barren and useless but then so is Antarctica or large chunks of the ocean floor or really most of the earth's surface. That isn't a green light to ignore the consequences and let people treat it as their backyard.

This is the part we probably disagree on the most. Wherever we look on Earth, in ice, in deserts, under the crushing depths of water in trenches, even in fumeroles and volcanic ecosystems... we find life or evidence of life. All of Earth that we can access is teeming with life, the history of life, our history. It's also a dynamic system on long time-scales, a glacier today is the water in our lakes and oceans "tomorrow" so to speak.

We don't know what we might contaminate or disturb with our whims, on Earth, but on the Moon we know it is literally lifeless. Not devoid of life most people care about, or are aware of, which is an important distinction compared to lifelessness.
Look I don't have any reason to praise Twitter, but ...

This "Twitter-scale mastadon implementation" is when my red flags went up. It's meant to demonstrate a simpler and more performant architecture, but it actually demonstrates "things you should never do" #1: rewrite the code from scratch.

https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/things-you-should-...

"The idea that new code is better than old is patently absurd. Old code has been used. It has been tested. Lots of bugs have been found, and they’ve been fixed."

The "1M lines of code" and "~200 person-years" of Twitter being trashed on in this article is the outcome of Twitter doing the most important thing that software should do: deliver value to people. Millions of people (real people, not 100M bots) suffered thru YEARS of the fail-whale because Twitter's software gave them value.

This software has only delivered some artificial numbers in a completely made-up false comparison. Okay it's built on "fundamentally better abstractions", but until it's running for people in the real world, that's all it is: abstract.

Please don't tout this as a demonstration of how to re-create all of Twitter with simpler and more performant back-end architecture.

Stuff like this shows that licensing for certain software development activities is long overdue.

Could you imagine if software engineering was like real engineering, with you having to sign off on work done and accepting personal liability, including fines and jail time for negligence? So much of software development as it is practiced today simply wouldn't be tolerated in such a world.

I don't want to be mean, but...

- the keynote video isn't scrollable behind the giant "share" button
- the text on the keynote page is incredibly difficult to read (small text + very low contrast)
- the homepage is full of dizzying animations that don't tell me anything about what the "phone" is actually supposed to do
- "How it works" is just a set of animated cards. Once you figure out they're clickable (hoverable?), they spin around to reveal... half-formed ad copy? I wanted to know how it worked.

I'm willing to believe this is a real product only because of the "research" page, but it feels more like an aspiring web designer's portfolio piece. The flashiness of it all makes it really difficult to figure out what anything actually is.
This isn't an argument about control, it's about safety. Control is completely irrelevant to the absolute probability of dying when taking one form of transportation vs another.

You may be 100% in control of a scenario where you are highly likely to die, and 0% in control of a situation where you could essentially live until you die of natural causes.

In this case, even if you exercise 100% of the control afforded to you by driving a car, you are more likely to die in a car than you are in an airplane.

I touched on the topic of housing. I think most families would be happier in a ~2000 sq ft house rather than a <1000 sq ft apartment[0]. Certainly you can accept that truth without needing a peer-reviewed study of people's housing preferences. You can't buy a 2000 sq ft house on $75K/year unless you're in the middle of nowhere.

[0] Note that I mean MOST, not ALL. There are some people that despise single-family homes and prefer the higher-density aparments/condos, but I think they're a minority.

Industrial software dev has resulted in gross difficult minified bundles & absurdities like vdom that are hard to view-source hack. But there's pretty ok un-minifying & it's surprisingly possible to get really far, if a user wants to seize the power & do some userscripting.

And many in the webdev world have steadily been trying to push back against this rampant industrialization. HTTP2 and ESM were hopefully going to make unbundling more viable, but that's still long suffering (ex: import-maps don't work for workers, https://github.com/WICG/import-maps/issues/2), and now that the http cache doesn't work cross-site many of the possible re-use upsides are dead. Still a goal for many though. WebComponents is still a vast un-frameworking potential; in many implementations it unravels the descent into abstraction that React framework begat. Classic web devs have a lot of heart to make the web pro-user, to un-framework things, but the industrial demands are hard to re-satisfy on these better paths & so much momentum is elsewhere.

Now compare to the wasm world. We have basically pure machine code running our web in wasm. It's utterly unintelligible. There's dozens of hundred of kb libraries that languages bring in to userland just to do the language thing. I think people will have an incredibly poor time learning the web, think the worst risk wasm has is in scaring people off from view-source, from casually observing & learning anything. Wasm is god smiting the tower of Babel, is a one language breaking & being cast down & a hundred different tribes speaking their own language. So much good will come from this diversity, we'll see so many different styles & tries from so many camps, and that will be a benefit, but it will in my view be drastically harder for those "who aren't enamored with computer science can appreciate, understand, and repeat." Intelligibility is the loser, when Babel falls.
Fossil (https://www.fossil-scm.org) is superior for this use case in almost every way I can think of. It was in many ways designed for this use case.

A fossil repository is a single-file SQLite database. You can copy that single file to another computer and treat it like a remote, sync with it, etc. with a simple "fossil sync" command. The single file includes all the ticketing (issues), wiki, discussion forum and all branches, and those are all synced as well. There's no need to do any special packaging or bundling. Plus you get a built in web UI.

So what you're saying is that this article is irrelevant for 99.999% of developers. The instinctive jump to defend databases is completely understandable given that context.

> You use your individual databases as indexes, not as primary storage, and the primary storage is probably S3.

Which is a perfectly valid use for a database. Our company's document management system uses a big database for metadata and then, of course, stores the actual files on disk.

I'm a big fan of this genre of game, I have a small but growing steam collection of different ones. ( And some non-steam such as nandgame ).

Turing complete is one of the better ones, the simulation seems reliable and the missions, after a fair bit of early access re-jigging are reasonably well structured.

However, the UI isn't always super smooth, and the lack of hand-holding means it's better for someone like me who's gone through a similar journey before in other simulators.

If you're looking for something similar that does a better job at explaining the concepts then I'd recommend "Silicon Zeroes". The game as a whole feels even slightly less polished, but has a cute storyline and in my opinion does a better job at explaining each level and what it's trying to introduce, and does a much better job with problem solving issues related to "The Clock".

If you don't actually enjoy the the electronics part so much and just enjoy the psuedo-assembly aspect, then I'd recommend TIS100 or Shenzhen I/O.

If you prefer well-crafted puzzles then something like "Human Resource Machine" may be more your style.

It's also worth noting this Turing Complete news post: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1444480/eventcomments/3806156...

After no updates for a year, there was a news post in August 2023 to say, "Sorry, there's a big new update coming soon!".

And radio silence since then too.

It seems the developer has got stuck with such a monumental "big rewrite" that it's ended up taking vastly longer than anticipated.

I've been waiting for it to leave early access before going back into it, but I fear I might be waiting forever.
Good thing too. Absolute gutter exploitation, like most of the 'true crime' genre.

Planes get changed, especially if the flight is far out.

If not enough people buy a ticket for a 737-8 sized plane, SWA will sometimes swap it out with a 737-700 with a smaller capacity. This also allows SWA to fly with one less flight attendant than they would on the larger plane.

If there is a maintenance issue with your 737-Max8, and there is a 737-800 sitting in the next gate not set to go out until a few hours after your plane, they'll swap it out to reduce the chance of having a late departure.

If the site is not scraping data every minute, there could be mismatches. It's unlikely this site is scraping data more than once a day to save costs.
> They also have wet/dry seasons, so for part of the year everything gets flooded, overruns the dams and wipes out whole villages.

This implies a degree of incompetence or corruption on the part of the dam designer and/or dam builder.

> clashing shades of horrible colors (for camo)

They tried something similar for ships and a few planes. I think it wasn't very effective as camouflage though, and was more intended to confuse the distance & direction of travel.

> This is more an advertisement for a type of database than a statement that they are unnecessary.

That was my reaction as well. The article's claimed argument against databases is that they are global mutable state, which is supposed to be bad. But none of what the article advocates for gets rid of global mutable state (which of course you can't do in any real world application, because the real world itself is global mutable state and anything that deals with the real world has to deal with that). It's just hawking a particular way of storing global mutable state.
I can barely comprehend it. They conspired to maliciously prosecute hundreds of people to cover up their own incompetence and the consequences of that are "give that trophy back to the king". The rich and powerful truly live in a different world than the rest of us.
I don't see it. Base model Pixel 7 can be found in multiple places for $250 right now, so you're not coming in much cheaper than that, but more importantly, I don't really see a whole lot of demand for a second phone even as a cool toy. This feels like the type of thing people would buy, play with for a week or two, and then it would end up in a drawer never to be used again.
I agree with you that schema has tremendous value. Let's store JSON everywhere and infer it on read, backfires in a big way. Even MongoDB added tooling to enforce a schema.

I just wish there was a better tooling to evolve schema. Blue/green deployments, schema as code (no manual up and down procedures), good backward compatibility story, shadow testing in production, etc.

The database still feels like a monolith and did not get the benefits of the microservice revolution.

"Doomed to fail," probably. I certainly never expected to see a product so unabashedly quixotic this side of a zero-interest-rate era. But man, what a crazy swing for the fences this is.

By my reckoning, this approach is probably ten years ahead of its time. I simply cannot imagine that the tech is there right now to make this nearly as seamless as it will need to be to actually supplant the UI paradigms we have today, and it's going to take billions invested by the duopoly to get to that point.

But I really do think this is at least a fuzzy picture of where we're headed. Your iPhone in 2034 won't look like this, but you'll likely be able to trace some things back to it. There are a lot of pieces missing that we barely even know are missing yet, but it's incredibly exciting to see a startup try to jumpstart a step change like this.

Is his interest rate example correct?

> In 2020, the 10-year US treasury note yielded 0.5-0.7% per year. In 2023, it was between 4-5% – and 4%. These bonds pay interest every 6 months and return the principal amount invested in 10 years. Here’s how much money every $1,000 invested would yield:

And then he goes on to show that $1000 invested at a 4-5% interest rate would yield either $400 or $500 after 10 years.

But I thought that US treasuries, bonds and similar investments yield compound interest? Or was I mistaken all this time and it's been simple interest all along.
