Yeah, Reddit is the most astroturfed place on the internet. There's a thriving market in "high karma" accounts that are bought and sold by PR firms, SEO companies, and guerilla marketers -- and a huge fraction, if not an outright majority, of product-related posts are engineered from such sources with undisclosed interests. These days, it's one of the cheapest, and one of the "best," ways to advertise.

I don't think that Reddit was ever good. (The upvote/downvote system stifles real discussion, and even normal people treat it like a game -- exaggerating and making up stories for upvotes.) But today it's unambiguously terrible.

It sounds plausible, but also extremely naive. Is there any substance to this, or is it just a rumor?
As usual, my favourite quote,

"A consequence of this principle is that every occurrence of every subscript of every subscripted variable was on every occasion checked at run time against both the upper and the lower declared bounds of the array. Many years later we asked our customers whether they wished us to provide an option to switch off these checks in the interests of efficiency on production runs. Unanimously, they urged us not to--they already knew how frequently subscript errors occur on production runs where failure to detect them could be disastrous. I note with fear and horror that even in 1980 language designers and users have not learned this lesson. In any respectable branch of engineering, failure to observe such elementary precautions would have long been against the law."

-- C.A.R Hoare's "The 1980 ACM Turing Award Lecture"

Thankfully the powers of the law are finally taking attention to it, after a couple of decades since that speech took place.

Western countries, at least the ones I've lived in, don't often out-right ban software. It's unpopular and likely to garner scrutiny from both the press and constituents, but largely, it's a political grenade — you have to constantly fight the software suppliers each release; it's a signal to businesses that the government is not going to protect your commercial interests; and philosophically it's just over-reach.

Banning TikTok is akin to "banning all apps from a country" and the obvious response will be that country will ban your apps in return... and businesses operating in those countries may be quite unhappy to find their market evaporate.
Intuitively, the popularisation of FaaS feels inevitable as lower level technical challenges get solved and give way to abstractions like this. Who knows though what our stack will look like in 20 years.
Yes - you can't make offline card transactions, you don't get a chequebook, but there are no overdraft fees because there's no overdraft facility. The nine largest banks are legally required to offer Basic Bank Accounts to practically anyone.

This, combined with the fact that welfare must be paid by bank transfer in nearly all circumstances, means that a) essentially everyone in the UK has a bank account and b) cheque cashing isn't really a thing. Some banks have an account-opening service specifically for people with no fixed address and/or no identity documents.

From a UK perspective, the situation in the US just looks like a completely avoidable policy failure.

function is<T extends string>(value: string, prefix: T): value is `${typeof prefix}_${string}` {
return value.startsWith(`${prefix}_`)
}

You can now do `is(id, 'user')`.

If you do that often you probably want to create separate functions, e.g.:

function isFactory<T extends string>(prefix: T) {
return (value: string) => is(value, prefix)
}

const isUser = isFactory('user')
const isOrder = isFactory('order')

Not too bad.

That’s a misquote. The author says to assume that it is magic and the reason for that is that it’s not the topic of the blog post. This makes complete sense to me since the article is long enough already.
History wise the SKA concept was put forward and pressed forward from Australia in the (contrary to wikipedia) 1980s.

Then it got internationally political with grant money coming in and backing from China, Britain, etc.

The story today is:

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is an intergovernmental international radio telescope project being built in Australia (low-frequency) and South Africa (mid-frequency).

The combining infrastructure, the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO), and headquarters, are located at the Jodrell Bank Observatory in the United Kingdom.

The SKA cores are being built in the southern hemisphere, where the view of the Milky Way galaxy is the best and radio interference at its least.

Conceived in the 1990s, and further developed and designed by the late-2010s, when completed sometime in the 2020s it will have a total collecting area of approximately one square kilometre.

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

https://www.skao.int/en

https://pawsey.org.au/projects/australian-square-kilometre-a...

Pawsey has been up and running for some time now, well in advance of the actual physical SKA element build - modelling and computing for other Murchison radio quiet zone projects (cosmic microwave background, etc.)

It's now getting up and running and more and more fully international - but over the past two decades the bulk of SKA material online has come from Australia, the CSIRO and Pawsey.

It won't be the only local supercomputing centre anymore, with others in S.Africa and elsewhere, but it was the leader for PoC and illustrates the kinds of compute systems that will lie behind the project.
As per the article, the first thing they did was not the elimination of the tax, but paying off debts.

Okay, let's think this a little further:

I now have the possibility to open PRs and comment on them for a repo that is hosted on another instance. I still have to deal with user permission. Just because others can interact with my GitLab instance and repos I don't necessary want them to see everything. So user permissions is still a thing.

It would just have the time of creating an external user on my instance (or paying premium for them). Buth this could also be archived via OIDC logins of specific allowed accounts.

Am I missing the advantages here?

Like any technology, if you use relational databases incorrectly then you will have problems. Unfortunately, over the decades I have seen so many abuses when using relational databases that one has to wonder if those building these systems actually understand the basics.

The complaint in the article was about transactions - rollback purposes. I would agree that this facility is highly undesirable for payment systems.

But it is not the particular facilities that is the problem, it is the application of inappropriate use by those building the systems in question.

There are far too many database developers who just do not understand the basic theory behind relational databases and so, we will continue to see inappropriate applications built.

Sure, but that's not why banks were originally invented.
The software stack co-evolves with the hardware, if the hardware can't do something fast then the software guys can't necessarily even try it out.

People have been trying to break NVIDIA's moat by creating non-GPU accelerators. The core maths operations aren't that varied so it's an obvious thing to try. Nothing worked, not even NVIDIA's own attempts. AI researchers have a software stack oriented around devices with separate memory and it's abstracted, so unifying CPU and GPU ram doesn't seem to make a big difference for them.

Don't be fooled by the name GPU. It's purely historical. "GPUs" used for AI don't have any video output capability. I think you can't even render with them. They are just specialised computers come with their own OS ("driver"), compilers, APIs and dev stack, which happen to need a CPU to bring them online and which communicate via PCIe instead of ethernet.

I've found it also needs to work both ways. My manager can only do so much, and if I don't communicate with them, they can't do anything about it. Some of my colleagues have been horrible at remote working, not telling anyone what they're doing, even after being asked multiple times, at appropriate times.

Some people are just really bad at remote working, on both sides of the manager/report relationship. It's not only bad managers at fault here.

For me as a person who learned programming in the times of Github/lab/whatever, the idea of sending patches via email is fucking ridiculous.

The typical interface for handling merge/pull requests adds so many useful things over just sending a patch - if the project has CI I can immediately see if it even successfully builds before even going into the details of the PR.

Same for reviewing, each comment can be replied to separately or resolved, which serves as a nice TODO list for the original author.

I know there are some things people don't like (I think Linus was pretty vocal about it), but it seems to be they could be easily fixed by modifying the available open-source forges. This proposal here for example fixes the concern about centralisation, so I guess it's a good step forward.

Or maybe I'm just young and like shiny things and will eventually have a spiritual awakening and learn about the virtues of sending in patches via email.
>Both checkmarks appear quite promplty but the receivers actually see the message much later.
