I see this above-it-all take all the time: but do you prefer to live in a community inundated with homeless people? I currently live in a great downtown in a second-tier city, but the homeless pose one of the greatest risks to both property and peace of mind (getting yelled at). I don't mind too much, and since getting to know many of them things are fine, but I still mind when I'm accosted by a crazy person on my way to the car in the morning.

Am I weird? I want these people to get help, and don't blame them for their situation. But I would prefer they got that help and I didn't get yelled at or panhandled or worry about leaving my backpack in the car.
Absolutely. Nobody would be paying the current prices if they didn't expect the value to increase. Prices are a reflection of the financial value and not the utility.

This is the reason that interest rates are fundamental. If we really have turned the corner on the steady decline of interest rates that we've seen over the last 20-30 years then property markets are not going to 'plateau'. They will fall to a point where new buyers can afford to service the loans. Of course, as noted above (prices being as high as they are due to expected future increases), if prices are falling then not only do new buyers wait for prices fall to a point where they can service the loans again, but they will also focus more on utility value as public sentiment moves away from 'property prices always go up'. This will compound the falls.

That said, there will undoubtedly be a lot of policy engineering employed to avoid losses and kick the can further down the road. In the long run I don't think it will be successful. The only thing that will save the property market is a return to low rates.

Every time the issue of housing affordability comes up on this site, the debate quickly moves to zoning and nimbys and such. In my view this is important to an extent (more so in some areas than others), and building more homes is always helpful, but it is not as significant as interest rates and the 'artificial' demand that is induced by speculation.

Oh, sorry, I guess I was brainwashed by the "anti heat pump mafia". I had this conversation with three HVAC installers but according to this thread any HVAC installer that speaks ill of heatpumps is old and stupid. Recently, I stayed at an AirBNB recently that had a heatpump and the temps dropped during the deep freeze and it was running 100% of the time and failing. The AirBNB owner said it was brand new and I would be responsible for excessive electricity use. They didn't charge me. Based on this, I am sooo glad I replaced my dead furnace with gas three years ago and steered clear of heat pumps.

But do go on about how I don't know enough.
That Github they linked in the article with 1,600 (!!!) dependencies. Out of all of the programs ever written, this is certainly one of them. I am sorry to the programmer and this is not meant to be a slight on them, but holy moly.

A new generation has come up since Al Gore's fictional movie from 2006, presumably starting production in 2005. I have seen zero evidence of the predicted calamitous events that would distiguish this day from those in 2005. however I have seen the evidence of widespread problems in children who are having nighmares of a future "planetary emergency" which never seems to arrive. If children with emotional problems are the preferred social outcome of this political science, then the science is a success

Counting crates and comparing that with number of C++ libraries is making an obtological error. In Rust, a single team usually splits their project in multiple crates. Something like QT would be hundreds of crates on its own if it were written in Rust, but the amount of code and level of risk taken would be exactly the same.
This kind of thing is unfortunately not useful at any scale.

Real computer systems have performance that varies due to memory locality and size.

Locality because of things such as cache hierarchy and even the size of cache lines and memory pages.

Size because of physical implementation: larger memories are physically bigger and hence further away. The speed of light makes access to larger memories inescapably slower.

The best current hashtable implementations are all quite far from the purely theoretical computer science optimums, but are faster despite this because they take these factors into account.

Back when CPUs were simple and had no virtual memory or caches, there was a good correspondence between theoretical CS algorithms and their real implementations.

Now? Everything I see published in this space is basically pure maths with little or no practical utility. It’s still interesting, sure, but it’s a bit sad that the theorists have retreated into a virtual world to escape the messy details of our reality.

A spider spinning web is an emergent behavior built up from a bunch of simpler ones like excretion, simple movement, and electrostatic hopping from point to point. A bird flying requires the coordination of a much larger number of muscles at the same time, which is much more complex from a nervous system perspective.

Spiders reproduce much faster and have a much smaller survival rate so they're well selected for that kind of instinct. Birds less so.

>I'll tell you that I'm getting overseas talent for roles where 10 years ago I would have hired entry level talent in the US

the US is going to once again cripple one of their critical industries for short term gains, what happens when your senior engineers retire and there are no replacements prepared because it's more efficient to hire foreign senior engineers rather than onboarding and training a college grad? Even before AI improvements and Covid increasing remote work, the bar for hiring entry engineers was absurd and most startups only wanted seniors

I can't blame companies for doing this on the micro level because it makes sense, but macro level the US government needs to take action and treat hiring remote similarly to bringing in a visa worker or add a form of tariff like you would for manufactured products. Government's job is to reign in market forces that are net bad for the country due to unaccounted externalities
Tested on ubuntu 22.04 with an amd 5800x and amd 6800 gpu. It seems to work flawlessly, the gui seems to respond as quickly as the desktop its run on, it even has the same timeout errors clicking through the "welcome to ubuntu" setup. This is my first time running virtualbox on my desktop/linux, so I am not sure what I should expect, but I certainly have nothing to criticize here.
“Have you looked at a modern airplane? Have you followed from year to year the evolution of its lines? Have you ever thought, not only about the airplane but about whatever man builds, that all of man's industrial efforts, all his computations and calculations, all the nights spent over working draughts and blueprints, invariably culminate in the production of a thing whose sole and guiding principle is the ultimate principle of simplicity?

“It is as if there were a natural law which ordained that to achieve this end, to refine the curve of a piece of furniture, or a ship's keel, or the fuselage of an airplane, until gradually it partakes of the elementary purity of the curve of a human breast or shoulder, there must be the experimentation of several generations of craftsmen. It seems that perfection is attained not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to remove.”

I’ve found it hard to apply this pattern in Go since, if Username is embedded in a struct, and you forget to set it, you’ll get Username’s zero value, which may violate your constraints.
Yes... this is what I meant. People don't read the classics. Classics aren't good because they're old. They're good because they're the original 'good reads 5 star review' except it's even better because you're taking votes from dead people too. It's not just the Greek greats either. The same basic approach to human behavior has been discovered by all great cultures. The Indians, the Persians, the Chinese, etc... all of them knew how humans acted and wrote endless treatises on it.

At the end of the day... people act the same. When you read 1000-year-old stories and realize people then behaved the same way now, you start to understand the things that make people tick. It's not going to be any different tomorrow than it is today. People do not change. Yes their circumstances do, and if you look only at the response you might conclude they actually changed, but the way in which people respond rarely change substantially.

> people try to understand the relationship between Apple and Google by looking at the relationship between the dutch and the british east india company. Absurd.

Of course, we shouldn't look at apple and google and think the dutch and british east india company would be the same. They're different. But what doesn't change is people and yes, you can look at the people behind the companies and they will probably all act the same. Corporations are not people; people are people.

I've tended to create a Config struct for each package and then a configs.Config struct that's just made up of each package's Config. It might not be a Go best practice but I like that I can setup the entire system's configuration on startup as one entity but then I only pass in the minimally required dependencies for each package.
It also makes testing a little easier because I don't have to fake out the entire configuration for testing one package.

Amazing. The first thing I use Edge for is to download Firefox. It pleads and begs me not to which makes me want to kill it harder. I hope the EU beats them with a stick until users can make an informed choice of not being upsold crapware by default.

Edge has become like a sexually transmitted disease that just won't clear up however much cream you stick on it.
no, it's bloated because that's the path of least resistance. it's easier to write code that builds on frameworks which build on libraries which build on virtual machines etc, and that is arguably even a better use of the programmer's time than doing everything from scratch, but the tooling hasn't kept pace to let us produce a final artefact that strips out all the bloat and collapses the layers into a small binary. (this is theoretically possible with a "sufficiently smart compiler", tree shaking, and a host of related techniques, but is impossibly hard in practice, given the current state of the art)

A Western Canon would be better than the modern canon we have, but really any classical Canon would be more sufficient, whether it be Greco-Roman, Persian, Indian, Chinese, etc. All these cultures had great thinkers whose philosophies elucidate basic universal realities on human nature.
California has a bad habit of not adjusting for CoL, which makes zero sense in the context of a state with such wide CoL disparities (they do the same thing with govt employee salaries, which are constant across the state). Someone making $100k in LA/SF is in a very different boat than someone making $100k in Sacramento, Fresno, or Ukiah. Pretending that these people are all equally well-off is imbecilic.

I'm not sure how pestilence is relevant here, but I would agree that it would be a bad alternative. I don't think even CA's legislators are stupid enough to vote in favor of pestilence, however.
Before Musk took over, I ranked it above Facebook.

Or just let/require them to immigrate here, and get the best of both worlds.
That's right. We shouldn't think of the ancient classical Canons of Afro-Eurasia as separate. They all knew of each other and drew on each other, even if they have their distinct expressions.
Id recommend just giving it a shot and not reading books about it. You'll learn way more, way faster. And it'll be hard, there will be constant rejection, and there will be mistakes, but it's the only way. Speak to people, message people, put yourself out there online and in person. Follow up when people may be interested, and don't follow up if people arent. All you need is a contract / statement of work / agreement if your havent already, and get a business to sign it. That's all there is, everything else is a distraction. Forget every other theory about sales, it's certainly not a science but there's a world of snake oil sales people - selling to sales people - it's nearly all bullshit. Just know what your offer is and see who wants it. Youre no doubt a smart and capable person if you're a lead DevOps I'm sure, you will get hired and paid, confidence and applied effort is all you need. Good luck. I say all this confidenently as I sell software services for a living, I'm good at it (with all humility).
That’s not high
AKA 'Value Object' from DDD or a similar 'Quantity' accounting pattern. Another angle is that this fixes 'Primitive Obsession' code smell.
In my experience, it's not that simple as you make it sound.

In some cases, especially due to some compliance (ISO27001/SOC2-3, Fedramp, etc.) companies implement a proper management of CVEs. It has become a standard practice (typically, this is part of the Enterprise subscription of the SAAS/product of choice).

Having a service/lib/whatever that uses a crappy lib that doesn't get a CVE fixed in a specific timeframe can lead you to miss the SLA you define with your customers (e.g., "we fix high risk CVEs in 90 days and critical in 30 days", that kind of stuff).

For such companies having a service like that which is probably not even core business can become really a cost, especially because Enterprise companies will push very hard on you to make those CVEs fixed. I have seen colleagues working over weekends just to have 1 single CVE because of 1 single company pushing us really hard to fix that stuff. It was a big contract, you don't want to lose it.

So, yes: paying X$ to someone that promises you "we take care of CVEs", etc. can be a win. You're not just buying software: you are in a sense buying some accountability, although at the end of the day YOU are what the customer sees, not your SaaS behind the scenes.
Yes it's risky but I feel it might work better with the world of states we have today.

I'd still argue that the problem is not defining "winning" beforehand. That could mean any number of thing, but without defining that first we can't weigh the likelihood of success or cost of tactics that will be required.

I agree I'm not sure when a goal of eliminating the enemy completely is one that I could support, though interestingly enough that is precisely what Israel's claimed goal currently is with regards to Hamas. I believe its also the stated goal of Russia, though I'm not familiar with what faction of neo-nazis they claim to be targeting or whether they even exist in any meaningful numbers in Ukraine.
I would have liked to see some statistics cited instead of anecdotes about individual security incidents. Is industry software really less secure than it used to be because of larger attack surfaces, proportional to the size of the software industry?
DRY is just "Do not repeat yourself". And a LOT of devs take that literally. It's not "Do not repeat concepts" (which is what it SHOULD be but DRC isn't a fun acronym).

Unfortunately "This is the same character string" is all a DRY purist needs to start messing up the code base.

I honestly believe that "DRY" is an anti-pattern because of how often I see this exact behavior trotted out or espoused. It's a cargo cult thing to some devs.

Capitals as Bad Equilibria
Honestly, I can't remember that darling phase because I have only been following Tesla since 2019. When was it? I remember reading about Tesla fires (which are in fact rarer than ICE fires), I remember my coworkers telling me Tesla's going bankrupt because Elon Musk smoked weed, etc.

By the way, by portraying Tesla as worse than the others, I didn't mean it explicitly in the article. More like the fact that Porsche, Hyundai, etc. didn't get the same treatment from the media for facing the exact same problem which then they couldn't even fix. (And also not mentioning this tiny detail that the icon-problem is not unique to Tesla.)

I know this is only one piece of news. However, I see this as an overarching pattern. I saw so many low-quality articles about Tesla that I even stopped reading the news completely for a while! I can show you many. If you are interested, here's a recent one: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-07/tesla-sol.... This, again, while technically true, is awfully misleading. Tesla had one car sale in South Korea in January 2022, 2023 and now 2024. This is because there are no incentives for EVs in January, which is why people wait until February to buy in the country. It is paywalled, but I am sure the truth, which invalidates the article's very reason for existence, is buried deep somewhere at the end. Or is it?
Backwards compatibility and changing the security dynamic of existing scripts. I'm sure it is probably possible to achieve using runas, but my guess is that it would greatly delay adding this functionality, as they would have to cover all concerns for which runas is used.
No. I'm implying that they had some stuff figured out and we waste a lot of time rediscovering the same basic impulses that underlie all human behavior. It's like... Newton didn't understand gravity better than we did today, but imagine if you throw out all knowledge from physics developed prior to 1950 and then tried to reconstruct it. Would you agree it's a waste of time? And yet, we've basically done that with humanities education. The great classics are seen as wastes and we've substituted them for vapid books without any important insight into human nature. Or worse, a very contemporary surface-level observation of human nature.
