They aren't asking for sponsorship on the tool they created. They expressed that they do not have interest in investing even more work to rewrite it in Rust, Go, or what have you; unless someone paid them to do it. And I think that is completely fair!

If someone has no inherent interest in doing something, is not othewise obligated to do it, it is not done as a favor to friends or something, paying that person to do the job anyway is a very accepted practice in our society. Almost all of our employers pay us to do things we might otherwise not do.
Does anyone in practical invocation specify the volumes?

Or would they wrap it in yet another shell script that calls docker with a set of options, or a compose file, etc?

This quickly turns into complexity stacked on complexity...
Yes and:

> The replacement cycle, given today’s technology, is approximately three decades.

Every ICE vehical sold today can be expected to be in use for decades to come. And there's something like 1.2 billion passenger cars worldwide.

I forget the details of the analysis, but the gist is with our current policies, worldwide personal transportation is unlikely to hit our 2050 net-zero targets.

IIRC, I gleened this observation from Horace Dediu's Asymco podcast. (Or Micromobility?) Dediu has been promoting micromobility (scooters, e-bikes, cargo bikes, etc) for quite a while now (decade?), to address this challenge.

Of course, Dediu and others also advocate public transportation, densification, etc. to further reduce miles traveled.
I worked in IT for a large telco for four years that has a monopoly on an extremely large part of Canada.

After years there, learning the insides, working closely with marketing and sales and all the rest…..I agree with you 100%.

They literally have guaranteed teed profits in the form of VERY large government subsides. Of course they chase them, so instead of FTTH or other interesting initiatives they were hell bent on installing fax lines and copper because they had enormous subsidies.
Always liked NetBeans better anyway :P
> C# doesn't have ownership/lifetimes and the kind of safety that comes with them.

That's not really true.

Like rust, C# is memory safe, although it comes at it in a very different way.

"safe" rust does inherently prevent a certain kind of race condition in multi-threaded code that C# does not, thought that's more of a nice incremental improvement, not a fundamental one -- i.e. it doesn't make your multi-threaded code thread-safe, but it does prevent a one type of thread safety violation.

Congrats. This was by far the most detailed and rational argument I've seen in the comments section. The whole premise of the article is flawed and in my opinion heavily biased against Bitcoin, employing flawed interpretations of metrics that entirely rely on hypotheticals and counterfactuals to paint Bitcoin in a negative light.

I agree with your complaint about merit badges; I think they signify nothing more than that you have allies among Wikipedia editors. Since editing Wikipedia should be non-partisan, advertising that you have allies suggests that you're a suspect editor.

But I've been editing WP since about 2004. I have no merit badges, and no admin privileges. I have no allies. I just want to improve the encyclopaedia.

That assumes cities are competent. The coop that provides power and fiber where my cabin is in Plumas County (far north eastern CA) is great. They even have redundant electrical feeds PG&E as well as from Nevada.

That said, after many years of living in Santa Cruz, CA - there is no way in heck the city here could manage any of that competently.
"This idea would be too hard / expensive to do ... and someone else already did it"

Perhaps the problem lies not in the Internet, but the imagination?

Imagine an idea could be implemented without "native apps for both iOS and Android." That said implementation wouldn't need "pay more to get the app noticed through app store paid search."

Yes, analog stuff can be built tough too. See the vacuum cleaners that still work after 50 years lol, because they were overengineered. That's not nearly as profitable, though. So bean counters (fail early, but after warranty period, fail often) are ever at war with engineers who'd rather make a good product for a fair price. I have heard good things about Bosche but yet to buy anything. I will definitely consider them. I'm not really afraid of things made in Europe or USA, unless internet research proves otherwise.
https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap allows specifying volumes for scripts too
From what I read about open dime you do a one way physical action which changes the circuitry to reveal the private key when you plug it in. I’m not sure if you can validate the amount on the key before hand but once that seal is broken you are saying you’re the one to spend it on-chain as at that point someone else could have the private key and already spent it. Additionally you really have to know how this device works to accept it as payment cause otherwise someone could trick you by giving you the unsealed portion without you realizing the implication and you have to know how to safely verify it. With cash you only need to know how to detect counterfeit notes.

The same issues with opendime apply to satscard - cash can be transferred thousands or tens of thousands of times and doesn’t carry any extra cost and can be trivially broken up into smaller transactions. This thing requires gas fees to transfer onto and off the card + the cost of the card itself + limited number of transfers if you want to change the amount.

These devices are clearly meant more for long term cold storage using physical security to avoid losing the key and not as a way to replace cash transactions. Totally different applications even though cash also can be intrinsically used as long term cold storage (just more complicated physically)
I use webstorm, works pretty good out of the box. I agree that messing with vscode plugins isn't a great experience.
duplicate port number can be checked in the type system if you’re using racket, at least
Yes, you can use Nix to get extremely small Docker images. I have personally used it to that effect, but it's not a magic bullet. In this specific case, it gives pretty bad results even. I have written the simplest possible Nix derivation for ugit and the resulting Docker image is 158MB gzipped. I haven't explored fully why that is, but that's much worse than even the first effort from the OP.
You know what? That sounds like a great idea. A single dollar doesn't buy much these days. Maybe we should add a zero to all the bills too.
The dive utility helps tremendously for exploring the filesystem contents of a container image. Combine that with the output of `docker inspect` to look at the metadata and you should be able to have a good understanding of what it will do when running as a container.
Perl's still got a special place in my heart, but honestly, I don't use it much these days. I mainly bring it out when I'm processing a lot of text or writing scripts to be used by Perl-savvy teammates.

But here's a cool thing - in coding interviews for non-SWE roles (I'm in security), when they say 'pick any language', I go straight for Perl. Why? Because it's very forgiving when prototyping a solution quickly, has great data-structures without a lot of setup (auto-vivification!), built in grep and map features, etc.
> Bummer you’d been downvoted for that.

Some people have an instinctual dislike of things they've been told it's fashionable to hate. I resent that, because all programming languages are interesting in their own ways.

> It sounds like quite the ambitious project that you’ve nearly got working. Cool!

Oh it's already working, it just needs more polish :)

Actually, I'll try to submit it!

> That is not the sort of thing I’d expect someone to write in Perl, and I’m experiencing an odd mix of “that’s amazing!” and “what on earth were you thinking, my friend?!”

I wanted to do it quickly :)

For decoding weird formats that mix little and big ending, I think perl unpack/unpack is the fastest way.

Also, for computing crc32, I didn't have to bother much :)
Interesting but the title feels a little misleading because after reading the article, I realized that it wasn’t actually running doom.
Because with a real programming language you get an actual IDE, auto complete, a debugger, sane compiler errors instead of a vague helm error "invalid thingy at line 4", you can log a bad config the same way you log stuff for the rest of your program and you can't guarantee your config is valid anyway if your config language can't see what class you're going to feed it to.

A (IMHO) good and easy to read introduction is Wadler's "EFFICIENT COMPILATION OF PATTERN-MATCHING", chapter 5 of "The Implementation of Functional Programming Languages" https://simon.peytonjones.org/assets/pdfs/slpj-book-1987-2up... - actually I can recommend the whole book as an instruction to (the interesting stuff of) writing a compiler for a functional language. It also contains an introduction to the lambda calculus.
This is an interesting point. I know the British are really into tea, but I assume they don’t let kids drink it due to the caffeine?
Please, Please, Please, be it.
Does anyone read/diff the build commands every time they get a new `latest` docker image?

There would already be implicit trust in whatever the local OS's package manager laid down, and trying to add another set of hard to audit binaries on top is not really an improvement.

I wonder about low income households and if cell phone or internet providers have the same obligation to provide baseline service as do landline? If not, this seems like an important hurdle to cross before dropping these customers…
Alternatively, free shipping (or free shipping at quite a low threshold for what's being sold) is sufficiently normalized that if shipping is not free, some percentage of users will just close the window and move on.

We're about to need to do the same thing with similarly sized codebase. Would love to hear your story. Did you find any migration tooling to help? Would be happy to DM to chat as well.

One of our issues is that we've used some component frameworks that also need to be migrated.

> but having a generation of developers unable to do anything outside their chosen layer of abstraction is a sad state of affairs.

This is the normal state of affairs, and is really the only reason we can build meaningful software systems. Software is much too complicated, to understand even one layer of abstraction can be a multi decade journey. The important thing though, is that when the abstractions are leaky (which they always are), the leakiness follows a good learning curve. This is not true for cloud though.
The director is the person who actually crafts the movie. They don't necessarily have anything to do with managing the money. Sometimes you have producer-directors, but it's like a restaurant that is owned by the chef.
You could tax mining. Sure, this won't stop private miners, but it is impossible to hide a big mining operation, if you are using the public grid. Most of them are using their own solar anyway, so I am not sure what all this fuss is about.
Evaluating the whole contents of a filesystem is significantly more complex than evaluating one shell script.

No. You’re ignoring the root cause, drivers, and the realities of government. Arbitrarily applying a “buck stops here” mentality not only stymies the generation of useful analysis but helps to maintain the opaqueness of that which you’re investigating.

Couponing is a hobby that is practiced by many people who have secure financial positions but get a thrill out of saving a few dollars on stuff they didn't need to buy in the first place. It happens that these sort of people are often pains in the ass from a retail worker perspective. They try to bend the rules by stacking coupons, using expired coupons, twisting what product the coupons are for, etc. They also waste a lot of time rifling through coupons looking for the best one to use, and just generally waste a lot of time and cause grief for everybody near them.

It may not seem like an exciting hobby to you so maybe you think this is made up, but try to remember that there are people who collect stamps or sit around train tracks to see locomotives. One man's absolute bore is another man's nailbiting thrill.
Yes, I think this is exactly it.
That dude in Kharkiv is now being actively murdered by russians. His opportunities are being destroyed by russians. You can’t disclaim responsibility if you don’t feel ashamed of it.

You also forget that at home he might speak some other language besides the empire mandated russian.

There are multiple LEGAL crypto-mining facilities in my mid-sized US South city.

I don't know the specifics, but having spoken with a few of the technicians, it seems our local publicly-owned electric utility has agreements with these facilities for Time-of-Use offsets, which significantly reduces the kWH pricing.

There is a single facility in my city which is allowed to consume about 1% of entire multi-county grid usage, but must agree to seasonal shut-down schedules where local utility can take them offline almost-immediately during emergency demand peaks.

For their predictable baseload usage (21/7) and not-too-damaging shutdownability, the 1% miner gets kWH's at around 2¢+/ea.

----

Majority of our base-load energy is hydro/nuclear -generated, so my only remaining complaint is that these AI/crypto -mining facilities ought to somehow be incorporated into a local centralized heat distribution facility, perhaps to generate steam (or possibly even pre-heat existing generating facility water pre-steam/turbine).
What i liked in things like vue, is that they get you to prototype things quickly with a thin layer of conventions that guide you softly and avoid creating a mess. Even if I stopped using vue (went to backend) I still appreciated the voyage / lesson.

Gonna sound very short through the corner, but german brands usually are pretty no bullshit. Also filter out anything that seems like it has a screen (or a more complicated screen than a simple LED panel) and doesn't need it.

Your fridge and freezer don't need any more screens than a LED panel telling you the current temperature and the laundry machine can make due just fine with a LED panel + some buttons and turning knobs.

Late reply, I know, but I would highly recommend skimming through “Embedded Software Development for Safety-Critical Systems” by Chris Hobbs. I think it does a good job at getting people thinking about how they can start adopting a safety mindset for their projects, what techniques are applicable, and what common pitfalls are.

It could be more like risk vs conservative / growth vs savings / etc.

Personal anecdotes - in college I wanted more spending money, so I ran a little eBay business related to my hobby. One of my roommates got big into MMORPG goods mining & selling. Our other roommates got into things like getting their baked goods for free by showing up to bakeries at closing time.

Later, at some point in our careers my wife & I found our industry to be stagnating and tried some side businesses. They didn't pan out after a couple years, so then we both switched industries/subindustries. We both change jobs every 4-5 years. I've had 5 jobs by 40, my wife 6.

But on the other hand we come from families where our moms didn't work and our dads worked the same jobs for 30 years.

For me, just like compounding interest makes a big difference in returns in terms of saving more earlier.. so does growth. If you settle into a stable safe job with 2-3% inflation raises, vs making sure you are always getting an average 5-10% raises, you would be shocked what it means to your compensation at the end of a 20 year period.
As far as battery chemistry, SLAB is a cost tradeoff against your "threats". Our threat is midwestern storms in the spring that cause power interruptions. These are usually momentary (10s) or 30m or less. Anything longer and we'd send people home for the day. Preventing a network reboot during those momentary outages is the goal. Extended runtime just isn't needed, but a decently sized UPS can power one our typical floor racks for about 2-4 hours. We're likely only going to ever deploy SLAB because it's so danged cheap for something thats only used a handful a times a year.

I've found that Eaton UPSs pretty much knock out a lot of the concerns listed. I've got 9 of them deployed for floor/closet racks and a raspberry pi to interrogate the UPS with Telegraf, and those are shipped to an InfluxDB instance. Back in the day we would have used SNMP, but that isn't cool anymore... I also have recently deployed a few over the higher end Cyberpower UPSs to see how they do long term (these are a little bit of a meme brand it seems like).

That all being said, the lower end Eaton UPSs do not have a way to "Remote Test" (basically they lack a relay to isolate from mains and take the load onto battery). Higher end UPSs can do these commands over USB. One of the help desk tasks is once a quarter, visit each UPS and yank the power for 2m while Telegraf measures the battery drain stats. Not a huge problem, but a mundane task.
True as of msvc 2015 which is 8.5 years old at this point. I agree it’s weird that you can disable it but libraries retaining correctness in the face of random compiler flags is hard (eg ffast-math is a common one that can break your floating point library)
> the big problem with them is how much hinges on the twist

I feel similar but different to JJ Abrams' Cloverfield universe. Cloverfield Lane and Cloverfield Paradox are just 2 movies where he attaches a random scene at the end to tie them into the Cloverfield universe. Those scenes have nothing to do with the movie, and if left off would not negatively affect the movie itself.
This is a pure guess, but one of the things a buisness would get out of a mail-in rebate scheme is a customer's contact details, for future marketing (or even to sell on to other companies). Of course, along with the information that "this is the kind of customer who takes part in mail-ins".

That kind of thing can be done far more cheaply, and far more effectively, online these days.
