All services use TLS and or SSL or HTTPS nowadays which means certificates need to be stored and managed. These instructions imply that a password manager should be sufficient, but that doesn't seem right. Make sure those don't get into source version control or a common whole team file store.
It's not difficult to measure though - we've been tracking total factor productivity of our economy for decades. Steam power, electrification, computers - all of these things had huge, measurable impacts on the amount of economic output vs input. No self-reporting (of what?) necessary. If AI means that companies are getting the same or more output from less input of labor and capital, productivity should be soaring right now.
I am a big rust fan, but I'll say I don't think a language should need to justify its existence and whether it's redundant or not. Zig exists because its developers and users want it to. People like coding in it, that's all the justification it needs.

I'm glad people make new programming languages without asking permission from the world whether it provides enough value to exist.

(TBC, I realize this page is more about answering questions about differences between zig and other languages, emphasizing its strengths, I just think the framing of the question is unfortunate)

I think it is acceptable if that is what you promise.

But if I were to mandate some sort of "IoT Facts" label I would keep it simple. How long can some consumer with little to no technical knowledge keep using this device? If after 5 years they need to hack it to use a third-party server which may or may not be run by some third-party, they may have to pay extra for or run their own then I don't think they get to write ∞ on the "IoT Facts" label.

They can say 5 years + open source server code afterwards. But that is a different promise than running the server for 10, 20 or 100 years.
My employer has the same business model (we audit Fedex and UPS invoices for late deliveries, bogus surcharges, etc)
I occasionally see Facebook posts about "My car/bike/tractor has been stolen. Make it too hot to handle!" etc. I don't blame them for trying but I would guess in 80% of the cases it's already in a container and on its way to the docks to be shipped to a less law-abiding country by the time they realise.

Here's a related story (an interview with an Ubisoft person about this (broadly) topic),

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/the-new-ubisoft-and-getting-ga... ("The new Ubisoft+ and getting gamers comfortable with not owning their games")

- "We looked at the consumer behaviour and how people were interacting with our offer and we saw an opportunity for us to evolve," explains Philippe Tremblay, director of subscriptions at Ubisoft."

- "[...] One of the things we saw is that gamers are used to, a little bit like DVD, having and owning their games. That's the consumer shift that needs to happen. They got comfortable not owning their CD collection or DVD collection. That's a transformation that's been a bit slower to happen [in games]. As gamers grow comfortable in that aspect… you don't lose your progress. If you resume your game at another time, your progress file is still there. That's not been deleted. You don't lose what you've built in the game or your engagement with the game. So it's about feeling comfortable with not owning your game."

One small issue I have as a developer who can spin up just about anything on AWS is this:

I have zero insight into the costs.

Yes, my company could turn that on for me but it's rare that they do so it's nearly impossible to know if I did something that costs a lot of money (relatively or in general) without access to the cost explorer/billing dashboard.

And before "well can look up what a t2.2xlarge costs and calculate it", sure. In a very contrived example I might be able to see what it costs but so many things are hidden/hard to see in AWS. For example, I recently spun up an RDS customer on my own AWS account. After testing for a while I decided it wasn't what I wanted and I deleted the cluster. Fast forward a month and my bill is well over what I expected (Like $30, no it's not a ton of money but it's my personal account and I wasn't expecting that charge). Come to find out it created a VPC as part of the RDS cluster (I think maybe it was for the RDS proxy? Still not sure) that didn't get deleted. I had to go chase that down and even that process wasn't easy. I had to make sure that it wasn't be used by anything else and then delete other things that were created when I made the RDS cluster before I could remove the VPC.

I was only able to do the above because I had access to the billing info. I would have left that VPC indefinitely on my work's AWS account by accident and been none the wiser.

I'm more than happy to take costs into account but without access to what things are actually costing us I can't help that much. Mostly because I need to know the costs to know what's worth optimizing. Sure I know I could improve X feature but if that costs us pennies a day (or month sometimes) then it's not worth it. Similarly if I know feature/infra Y is costing $XX,000/mo then I know I should rethink or investigate if that's correct/worth it.

While I agree with your general point, I don’t think anyone would reasonably expect their used vehicle to be sold for terrorist uses in another country.
If you can't buy a working product, then the counterfactual to piracy is that you are not a customer and do something else. You yourself suggested they do something else, not that they do something like go buy a windows computer to run it. Given that in your suggested reality, they still wouldn't pay for the thing, why does it matter if they then pirate it? How does that choice affect developers, actors, writers, artists, and so forth? None of them are getting paid in either situation.

Why do people get so bent out of shape if you decide to download something from a willing third-party instead of going on a bike ride or playing with your cat? And why aren't you "entitled" to have someone willingly share something with you, given that it has no moral consequences to any other party? In my moral framework, you have a right by default to do anything that has no effect on others. I don't see how you could justify otherwise.
I feel like with the level of surveillance we point at ad targeting, if we just steered it in the right direction it would provide at least some clue in sussing out who is power gaming versus people who are earnestly trying to do good for the team

On a personal level I've developed a sense for when someone tends toward these behaviors, like when they downplay the contribution of someone who actually did work while promoting their "direction" which happened outside of recorded history
> the author explains that while we broadly know what happens, there is no precise-written record about it

The author implies that, but doesn’t say it outright. I for one can’t believe NASA doesn’t have reports and communications and debriefs saved in triplicate. Did they even try to FOIA for infomation, or just phoned around failed to get callbacks and shrugged?
It is definitely fair to apply that to other planes. e.g the DC10
billing transparency is very important.

in the past, i had a case like this: dev accidentally enable backup policy for test database with no retention. finops think that db backup is important and ignore it. dev has no access to billing and have no idea what's creeping up the bill
Cost savings can be incredible if you use the FaaS product in the most aggressive way possible. For us, this means using functions as a simple translation layer between SSR web forms served directly as text/html and whatever SQL provider (ideally also on a consumption-based tier).

90% sounds just about right. We are seeing figures going from $120/m for a VM-based QA environment to $10/m for a consumption-based / serverless stack.

Somehow, the restored audio is less understandable to me.
Absolutely.

You need to find a broker who's willing to eat most of the costs. That's easier in the Bay Area where mortgages are high dollar so that they still make enough money to make it worthwhile.

I don't have closing statement with me, but the total cost is way lower than 1%.

And, yes, I obviously had a spreadsheet to evaluate the different scenarios.
Or the classic "This sentence is false!"
Yes. You can't just hire a bunch of smart people and be surprised when a product doesn't get made. That's not how building stuff works.
I think you have a different interpretation of “hidden” than Andy.

He is talking about control flow that is not visible to the programmer at all. In Zig, you can understand the control flow of a particular code snippet just by learning Zig. In some other languages, operator overloading means that when you are reading unfamiliar code, you can never be sure what functions might be called.
Air Travel in 1956 – Shell Historical Film Archive
Whenever I have to make a big decision I think about what’s important to me. I give 3-8 things like money, learning, commute time, etc. a score from 1-5. Then I score different alternatives 1-5 based on how well I think they do on those things. Then I multiply and add the numbers together and I have a sense of what I should do. Usually it’s the highest score but sometimes I change a number because I realize something is more/less important than I thought.

Only you know what is important to you, and I bet lots of folks here can help inform how different options might score.
Psilocybin is a partial 5-HT2B receptor agonist. 5-HT2B receptor agonism causes deposits of collagen in heart valves (which will lead to valve disease). This is true for LSD, MDMA, and psilocybin.

A note is that psilocybin is only a partial agonist, and the dosages taken for micro-dosing may not be comparable to something like fenfluramine (a drug which does cause heart valve dysfunction for certain). There was a drug nerds thread lying around on Reddit where the theoretical receptor activations were compared. IIRC, psilocybin is not a major risk, as long as you're not tripping every day for months on end.
depends on what your utilization looks like, serverless is usually +/- an order of magnitude more expensive. Ideally your workloads are stateless and containerized so you can shuffle them between serverless, container orchestration that you own and dedicated VMs.
The current (largest) end-user Java ecosystem is in practice Android and it ahead-of-time compiling ART.

The alerts is nice, though most of the rest (visitor centers, lesson plans) is static data and doesn't need to be an API, it can just be a static json file.

Campgrounds is also only providing static data. An "API" should show campsite availability and provide endpoints to book campsites to be useful as an API.

I was hoping to have API access to live bear collar tracking or some such. I'd love to create a system that auto-alerts me if a bear's motion path is intersecting my hike.
You need a lot more information on your site to give this idea credibility.
Lots of that is just bad design by going the easiest route.

It's easy not to grant engineers access to the billing dashboard.

It's easy to put everything in the same aws account.

Inside Amazon, we're supposed to set up new aws accounts for every service and realm, so we know how much X service's beta environment is costing

How do you propose to see all of this without downloading that info?
“engineers stick to doing things that are well understood and predictable”

I’m calling BS on this. If this were true, we’d still be a ground species. Engineering has been and will always be about creating something electrical, mechanical, computerized, or all, that solves a problem. Understood or not. Engineers are not oracles. They can not predict whether a tower built in Italy will eventually begin to lean due to erosion. They can not predict that a steel beam rated for 300T of force would break at 180T. They can not predict a rogue developer removing a package from underneath their dependency tree.

You can give estimates all you want but you are still guessing.

If engineers were as you say they are, we would never have delays, we would never have traffic jams, we would never have crap software, we would never have flight.
> Raise seed round? - Cashflow more than your full-time income? - Huge traction tho no money yet? or anything else?

These sound like the real question is "when should I bail on my FAANG job to try my hand at my startup?", usually antithetical to making the finances more stable (should only do if you are not dependent on a job, which aligns with your advice.)
Great, concise summary.

Note: the original article title could perhaps be updated to include Golang as it is mentioned a few times.
What a lot of Americans are taught in grade schools is that the US entering WW2 is what ended the Great Depression.

Here is one source: https://www.jstor.org/stable/24563084

Here is another: "World War II had a profound and multifaceted impact on the American economy. Most obviously, it lifted the nation out of the Great Depression of the 1930s. As late as 1940, unemployment stood at 14.6 percent; by 1944 it was down to a remarkable 1.2 percent, and the gross national product (GNP) had more than doubled. But the wartime economic mobilization did more than end the Depression." https://www.encyclopedia.com/economics/encyclopedias-almanac....

And a third: "The U.S. entry into the war helped to get the nation's economy back on its feet following the depression. Although just ten years earlier, jobs were very difficult to come by, there were now jobs for nearly everyone who wanted one. With the creation of 17 million new jobs during the war, workers were afforded the opportunity to pay off old debts, as well as to begin saving some of their earnings." https://www.loc.gov/classroom-materials/united-states-histor...
I guess thalidomide is the archetypal example in the back of every regulatory authority's mind. Nobody wants to risk a repeat of that.

In the case of Adderall, amphetamine was sold over the counter between the mid-1930s and 1964 (in the UK. Other countries, other dates) so there must have been a fair amount of additional research to take into account.

Interestingly, the first report of amphetamine being a treatment for what we would now call ADHD was 1937. We should have had this sorted out three generations ago; instead I coasted straight on through the school system in the 1980s without attracting a second glance.
I agree, great article.

Its not that you're a luddite - its simply that the internet went from an exuberant, wild representation of reality, to a constrained, extractive. corporate 'shop front'. All facilitated by government, which likes the data corporations provide it. And on luddites, apparently they liked tech (as do I) if it were to help them but objected to knowledge extraction and exploitative labour policies that became known the industrial revolution. There are distinct similarities to AI.

I'm sure we'll keep using the internet, but its gone from a place where real value can be found, to some corporate crap. Its equivalent to me, to walking through (pre-Amazon) busy shopping centers as a youth - something you have to do rather than because of the joy you will find there. Its a simulation of the human experience.

And this is fine. IMO the real deal has always been one's own lived experience. This is where the value is. The question has always been how to maximise that, even if we were distracted and entertained for a while.
Bold is binary. Meaning and importance are not. So, I agree with you.
When I was in high school (late 90s) I remember getting cavities filled without any numbing at all. I just had to deal with it. Maybe it was a bad dentist, because I know that stuff existed then, but I wasn't assertive enough at that age to call out the dentist. These days they numb me up and I don't feel anything, but I still tense up a lot out of habit from when I was younger.

They also used to take impressions at the dentist where they'd fill your mouth with some kind of goop in trays. Now they have cameras they can just move around your mouth and it stitches a model together.

As a "boomer", I agree, the good old days weren't all that great. People of my age group are afraid to get out of their comfort zone, it's my belief that's why our political situation is so full of turmoil. Yes, there are some problems with some of today's tech, I'm not crazy about my cars spying on me, but I do love the infotainment system and GPS.

So it sounds to me as you are trying to create a replacement for BitBucket\GitHub and their ilk, not Git. This may be a worthwhile task. Maybe it makes sense to concentrate on this in your pitch.

For BitBucket\GitHub\GitLab and for workflows enabled by them Git is just an underlying technology. Some of the functionality of these services is implemented using Git commands very clumsily. Some Git commands don't make sense or are dangerous in such environment\workflow. Yet Git interface is fully exposed to the users of these systems.

(Despite your statements and example, Git commands are not dangerous in the sense that they can destroy information already pushed to the repo. However, as your example demonstrated, they are dangerous in the sense that to recover from them requires expert knowledge and capabilities.)

Git was designed to for truly distributed development, and it is great for that. A lot of projects use it though for a centralized development. Git the software is fully capable to support such development with proper configuration, but has arguably bad defaults for it, and the existing solutions seem to be half-assed (to tell the truth, I hate GitHub, but won't go into this right now).

For me in my work and personal use the fully distributed character of Git is not important, but being able to work offline is, crucially. I know it is important issue for many developers. With working from home being more and more widespread I'd think this issue becomes more important, not less. Not being tethered to your good internet connection, or being able to work during an outage is really cool :-)

(Before Git I would have 2 VCS applications installed on my work laptop, one working against central database that required internet connection, one fully local, with separate local database. Synchronizing them was a constant chore, a significant part of it I was not able to automate and had to do manually. Sill, it was worthwhile price for being able to work offline.)
No, but I think they have some moral obligation to allow people to develop software for their platform. They license their compilers and software so that it isn't legal to run them on other hardware.

If they just changed the license to not make it illegal. I'm sure someone would figure out how to make it work. Then you can run CI on real servers, build and test iOS apps on your Windows desktop.
Depends on who you ask. In a literal sense, no. But lots of people use "FAANG" as a shorthand for a wide range of established tech companies with relatively high compensation (and RSUs with actual value). In that sense, yes.
In 2015 and 2016 there were 0 deliveries of 737 Max's. They were also grounded for a good part of 2019 and you are only counting one country, so your statistics should be revised.
Was doing some research this weekend on cloud exit. Hetzner is attractive, but our company is pretty much limited to the US (no international companies due to our current business model). How practical would it be?

Also, I've seen a lot of concern over blocked IPs, especially for lower-cost hosts. Is that an issue with Hetzner?
As your neighbor from the North (Romania) I highly recommend visiting the general Central and Eastern European area.

In the last few years we’ve been to Prague, short stay in Vienna, Bratislava, Ohrid (spent a night in Pernik on the way there, which I count as part of the experience) and I’d also put Athens and Southern Greece/the Peloponnese on the list (even though it’s not Eastern nor Central European). All very interesting and beautiful places in their own way (yes, even Athens), I highly recommend them.
You might want to edit your post. It seems like you're asking when to go full time on your startup, but you haven't made that context sufficiently clear, and people will have to read between the lines to get that. A lot of people quit FAANG jobs for reasons that have nothing to do with going full time on a startup.
City population isn't the right metric to use; you want to use metro population, i.e., MSAs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_statistical_area).

Most of the cities in the US don't have a functional mass transit system, but there is no population density reason they couldn't.
