I've always wondered about this mindset.

For me, due to life circumstances of severe chronic pain, until relatively recently my life and projects were mostly on hold.

To cope with my projects "dying" 10+ years ago from no longer being able to work on them, aside from the grief of going through my entrepreneurial baby "dying" - the main project I was working on and putting all of my effort on, and was going well - I began to tell myself that things were simply on hold, on the backburner, and I will revisit them again in the future.

My ideas and understanding and strategy since evolved, and so even though I wasn't actively working on projects - they and myself were still evolving.

My old washing machine had nobs (dials) you turn. You put the clothes and soap in, close the door and press the button. My preference of type of wash and water temperature were all "saved" by the nob position.

My current washing machine, nob is type of wash, capacitive touch buttons for everything else. Keeping the nob "on" keeps the digital display on and consuming power. And the wash options like temperature, extra rinse etc are all controlled digitally with no memory. Want 60 degrees water? Press the water temperature button 8 times, each with a delay of about 3/4 of a second for it to register before a press works again. It's utterly terrible.

My goodness, you are right. Your comment is like a cold shower, I never thought of it in this way. *We are hippies.* I'll keep being a naive optimist as I am, but this way of thinking offers an important perspective to add some realism to my judgment. Thank you, I mean it.

And that works because it is a VM that is executing the instructions. The higher level of the VM can switch threads at will. The measure used is the number of reductions, once a set limit is used or something more urgent crops up a context switch will occur. This functionally indistinguishable from a hardware interrupt for the task that was executing but because it is all done in software you don't actually have that interrupt. It's more as though every reduction has the potential to interrupt a task just like you can expect an interrupt everywhere in a regular stream of machine code for some processor.

The nice benefit of the Erlang method is that you can graft this onto a user process without a need for special privilege or exception handling, nothing ever really has to deal with interrupts or the messy aftermath of it, it's much cleaner than an interrupt driven system.

We definitely make much smaller grocery trips.

What I don't remember (as someone who left North America) is how we managed to have so much food without wasting all of it.
We do have a thing in the US called a micro fridge. College students will often get one for their dorm rooms.

For the biggest fridge you describe, the extra space is usually a freezer. If you are going to have a freezer anyway, it seems like an overall savings to include it in the fridge. If you don’t have a freezer, you won’t have any icecream, and then is life really worth living?
There's already significant amounts of debris that transits through Starlink's orbit.

And I'm telling you, your "image" of what this looks like is just incorrect. The kessler syndrome is likely already occurring. Yes creating more debris will make it happen more, but it's not like lighting a match to a pile of tinder.

And it's not in fact exponential in the sense that people commonly imagine when they hear that. It's an exponential that's very close to flat, i.e. an exponential with an exponent barely above one. Given enough time, yes it can destroy all satellites in Starlink's orbit, but it's not on time scales that's relevant to a war.
He seems to note that the fridge is french-door a hell of a lot, does this actually impact the cooling mechanics, making them more complicated and prone to break? Or is it just a coincidence all of the overly complicated fridges happen to be french door because they look "fancier"? Fridge experts please weigh in.
>you could have GPT vision interpret it and offer you recipes or what is missing

What is missing and what I should buy are different things. If my fridge has yogurt, bacon and some hamburgers, you might say "well, you are missing eggs". Except maybe I don't want eggs. I may be even allergic. Or maybe I like eggs but I'm in some low-protein diet for whatever reason.

The goal of a fridge is not to have literally everything, is to store everything you think you need for some days.

As for recipes, yes, that's more creative, but I guess I would just actively Google that (or even use an old fashioned recipe book!) if I were looking for original recipes. Of course, you can also ChatGPT it, but the direct fridge -> ChatGPT interaction is a bit weird because maybe I don't want original recipes or maybe I'm going to eat out.

So a hypothetical (?) app that sends me notifications about what recipes ChatGPT suggests by looking at my fridge wouldn't be very appealing unless you're always looking for new recipes. If you're mostly cooking ordinary things, continuous "You could cook X" would count as spam, much like a lot of people skip (or try to skip) ads on Youtube and ignore random "buy this at 70% discount" emails. And if you're that passionate about new recipes I guess you're probably interested in cooking and don't need the fridge to tell you what's missing.
You don't do that online, you just post it on a local newspaper and that's it.
It's not just the cost, but the hassle of booking someone else to fix your stuff. The same is true with all self-repairs.
To be honest, git is really close to perfect, except for the interface, which is horrendous. I don't think, personally, there's a pressing need for something substantially different.

I'd imagine a binary that replaces git commands with other, saner ones, will do 95% of the work, while retaining compatibility with both past repos and the whole world wanting to use git.
It's been almost fifteen years and the principle use is crime and ponzi. Not only has it not been immediately beneficial, it's been without benefit for a long time.
I'm not saying it is not useful, nor am I making a point about "survival" (also because people have survived long before fridges were even a thing).

I'm saying it can be useful, but only very rarely.

AFAICT he was a pretty honest reviewer giving his own opinions. People have different tastes. Like some people like stinky tofu and others find it disgusting. Some people like The Village and some don't.

My sister likes everything, for example all episodes of Star Wars, 1 though 9. Whereas I only like 4,5,6 and find the rest to be horrible. She liked the latest "Haunted Mansion" so I watched and found it atrocious.
Lower population density and bad zoning means the trip to the grocery store is farther, so you only want to go once every week or two. So, you get a bigger car, to fit more groceries and a bigger fridge for the same reason.

Then, some stupid person fills their car completely with groceries, can’t see out the back window, and backs into you. So, you get a still bigger car, so they can’t possibly help but see you, and then you crash into them, and it goes back and forth until we are driving around in these land-ships.

I interpret "no (you can change the decision later)" as respecting user decision. I interpret "not now" as "you can say no, but we may keep harassing you until you say yes" as very often is actually the case.
Ironically, it says that the problem with git is you have to internalise it's model to use it effectively. But then describes JJ in terms of how it relates to what git does.

Talks about how it uses revisions not commits or something, but never really explains why it's good, just more that it's different to git.

So I think this is probably a very good article for someone who actually knows git, but isn't very good for the users he says would most benefit from it!
Might I suggest a complementary future feature set of load testing?
I've never owned a refrigerator with odor removing, ice makers, or double doors. Is all this fancy stuff typical American?

Because over here, northern Europe, only the high end refrigerators have ice makers, for example.

Why would one ever want that?

I certainly deal with a lot more errors day to day. My tasks are constantly interrupted by software bugs.

It could be that there's just a lot more software now. I do a lot more on my phone without human interaction.

The biggest issue is the lack of alternative when software fails. When the computer says no, you'll have a really hard time talking to a human. You just get a really hard-to-find contact page that forces you to talk to a chatbot.

Software is also slow now. It's crazy how many delays modern UIs have. It also has more and more dark patterns that make you feel like you are used by the software and not the other way around.

American food is fun, we took everybody else’s food and then deep fried it. How could someone not enjoy it, right?
Is that hyperbole regarding fridges, or is it really that bad in the USA? Here in Germany, the vast majority of fridges are still just fridges.
Zuckerberg: Apple's DMA rules 'so onerous' he doubts any developer will opt in
I've kept my AT&T landline mostly to reduce the amount of spam calls on my cell phone but also to see just how long it would last. It fails every year or two from squirrels sharpening their teeth on the wires. The last time I had it fixed, the service guy told me I was the only active line on the street.

I've had the number so long, it used to be (415) instead of (650).
"The youth, who have it easy "

Is this still currently a thing? I would think, with Covid lockdowns, social networks designed to manipulate them from early age and a future prognosed of climate change and war, not many people could think the new generation has it easy.

... which is not saying much.
Not if the power goes out. Unlike landlines (which are required to have generators at the central office), cell towers are only required to have a battery backup that lasts a couple hours.

When we had the rolling blackouts in the bay area a few years ago, Comcast's cable network was the first to go, but the cell network didn't last much longer.

1. Most significant satellites already have propulsion, only the smallest do not (which is a side problem). The problem is that when satellites fail, the guidance will often fail too.

2. Engines and fuel are heavy. Including one on the smallest satellites may take up the entire mass availability that would go to the instruments, leaving the satellite with nothing to do. There are people working on this, one idea is including a small air canister and a balloon. At end of mission the balloon can be inflated which greatly increases the drag of the satellite causing it to de-orbit relatively soon.

3. As a side note, you don't want to fire "out to the expanse" as that won't de-orbit your satellite. It'll just "twist" the orbit, lowering the perigee and raising the apogee. Primarily it'd just waste fuel. To de-orbit you want to slow down, so you need aim "backwards" along your orbit's path.

4. With a big mass you need an equally large amount of fuel as what determines your ability to de-orbit is the satellite mass, your engine's propulsion efficiency, and the amount of fuel you have.

5. The problem isn't existing satellites. The problem is very old defunct satellites and rocket bodies and existing small debris. Many rockets used to (and still do to some extent) leave large pieces of themselves in orbit.

After our fancy fridge died, we purchased a “dumb” Mitsubishi Electric WX Series fridge. No LCD panels, no wifi, no time.

It’s tiny at only 470L, however it’s designed for maximum storage in small Japanese apartments, so we can fit heaps of groceries and frozens. It also has a chilled compartment specifically for sushi meat!

Also, 10 year warranty on all parts.

Shipping Blended Diffs: A new diff style
For many small objects a generic filesystem can be less efficient than a more specialised store. Things are being managed that aren't needed for your blob store, block alignment can waste a lot of space, there are often inefficiencies in directories with many files leading to a hierarchical splitting that adds more inefficiency through indirection, etc. The space waste is mitigated somewhat by some filesystems by supporting partial blocks, or including small files directly in the directory entry or other structure (the MFT in NTFS) but this adds an extra complexity.

The significance of these inefficiencies will vary depending on your base filesystem. The advantage of using your own storage format rather than naively using a filesystem is you can design around these issues taking different choices around the trade-offs than a general filesystem might, to produce something that is both more space efficient and more efficient to query and update for typical blob access patterns.

The middle ground is using a database rather than a filesystem is usually a compromise: still less efficient than a specially designed storage structure, but perhaps more so than a filesystem. They tend to have issues (it just inefficiencies) with large objects though, so your blob storage mechanism needs to work around those or just put up with them. A file-per-object store may have a database also anyway, for indexing purposes.

A huge advantage of one file per object is simplicity of implementation. Also for some end users the result (a bunch of files rather than one large object) might better fit into their existing backup strategies¹. For many data and load patterns, the disadvantages listed above may hardly matter so the file-per-object approach can be an appropriate choice.

--

[1] Assuming they are not relying on the distributed nature of the blob store² which is naive³ age doesn't protect you against some thinks a backup does unless the blob store implements features to help out there (minimum distributed duplication guarantee any given peice of data, keeping past versions etc).

[2] Also note that not all blob stores are distributed, and many are but support single node operation.

[3] Perhaps we need a new variant if the "RAID is not a backup" mantra. "Distributed storage properties are not, by themselves, a backup" or some such.
I remember when NextJs could not properly watch files and rebuild when files are changed, because it has a problem with emacs backup files. It would crash and the I would have to restart the watch, defeating the whole purpose. An issue exists/ed on Github, but no real interest was there to fix it. Just to name one example of dev XP that was worse.

The need to deal with whole NPM ecosystem is another point, that significantly negatively impacten my dev XP compared to rendering plain old school templates in other ecosystems.

Maybe they can see what is happening in the UK? They are planning to switch off the analogue part of copper phone lines next year, and people who still want a "phone line" (most people just use mobile phones) will be switched to VOIP service.

Almost everyone has internet and phone provided by the same company. For the last few years it's been a standard feature in all "modems" to have a analogue POTS interface. It just needs to be switched on in software.

I'm frankly embarrassed at my lack of Git mastery. I'm sure I could master it. And considering it's a tool that's integral to my daily work, it's kind of ridiculous that I'm not more comfortable with it.

I've written parsers and compilers, worked on image processing software for the NASA Mars rovers, managed global Kubernetes deployments for Fortune 500 companies, wrote trading desk software used on the NYSE trading floor, etc. Point being, I've worked on some seriously complex software. I'm 100% sure I could write Git itself without any trouble whatsoever (assuming I learned how it worked first).

I find Git to be unintuitive and overly-complex, and to use terminology that isn't obvious. You're probably right about it being an internal objection, but I assure you it's not due to laziness or an inability to deal with complexity. I'm not planning to use jj, because it's just Git with more complexity layered on top, despite their claims to the contrary.

Despite my dislike of Git, I'm still the go-to person for Git issues on the teams I manage. I can fix problems that arise and help others do things right. I still don't like it, and for whatever reason, the edge case scenarios don't stick in my memory.
