It's also just something that all engineers do. EEs don't concern themselves about the power-draw of an LED on a space heater. MEs don't work hard to make a piston last 100 years in an engine that will last 10. It boils down to 'focus on important things, not unimportant things'.
A hard "left" turn for that matter, because "left" today is what corporations could sell to the most naive people that wanted to feel better about themselves while being "on the right side of history".

my biggest issue with Power BI after building washboarding for hospitals was that they are dangerous.

There are impossible to drill down and understand - "where did this data come from" - how was this calculated.

Similar to other comments, you can version, it's beyond hard to error check. A python or sql script you can at least verify and recreate. I view Power BI as just the new excel - big files full of hidden errors.

zfs rent = 4+TB drive + $10/mo (base 1TB) + $5*3 (extra 3TB) = drive + $25/mo

assuming you replace drives every 5yrs: $3,254 or $54.23/mo.

assuming the drives last 10yr which are common now: $5,708 or $47.56/mo.

I wonder what the tests are that run slower on the M3 Max than on a PC?
That really depends on the stick. In Germany, there is a brand called Intenso that is unfortunately rather popular here, you'll find their low-priced USB sticks everywhere and I've had nothing but problems with the few I had to use. They often were much slower than advertised, sometimes they would just break down completely in the middle of copying files. It always felt like they try to source the cheapest flash chips that barely pass quality assurance.
Not to mention all the "fake" USB sticks that report a larger size than what their actual capcity is, which you may only find out after it's too late.

In contrast, I have had a single hard disk with a fatal failure in the last twenty years or so.

OK ...
For some reason, I see people in this thread whom I believe don't really understand why hooks were invented. Put simply, just like closures hold state in a function, hooks compartmentalize the component's lifecycle, they are basically `function(state, lifecycle)`. I linked to a Flutter thread elsewhere (on the topic of adding hook-like constructs to Flutter as well) that I've seen as one of the best examples of why class components simply cannot replicate the effects of hooks, due to the inherent limitations of classes [0].

The author uses an example of needing to initialize and dispose of a variable, and you must do this manually each time, for each variable. With a hook, you can abstract this behavior and say, given this lifecycle, I need this variable to be automatically initialized and disposed at the correct time. I write it once, and don't have to think about doing it manually anymore. Hooks are an abstraction over lifecycles, just as functions and loops are an abstraction over repeated procedures.

It seems almost inevitable that the way we'll end up dealing with that is by having our own AIs - that know what we like and how selective we are - read books and watch films for us, as a basic screening tool on the same lines as glancing at reviews before embarking on a read of an unknown book. Could go very strange places. The future will be weird.

Describing systems in the article's terms ("5UP3R 51MPL3, BR0S") is disingenous.

Backing up to multiple manually managed locations requires also maintaining those locations, which means spending time on system administration, which is not negligible (it's sysadmin work).

At best, the sysadmin time is amortized, but in real world, it never really is.

It's difficult to compare this strategy to actual backup programs, because it's not really a backup (it misses some functionalities of backup systems).

If the independence requirement is removed (which can make the comparison improper), then for 10/20$ a month there are backup programs that require no maintenance at all, adding other functionalities at the same time (which can include user-owned external storage locations).

I used AI work tools to do my job, here's how it went
The article gives some examples about Go, and lists interfaces as something you should use, because the performance cost is tiny.

As someone who was formerly involved with the canonical Go style, I wanna clear up the reason why we said you shouldn't overuse interfaces. It has nothing to do with performance. (The difference between a "virtual" and "static" dispatch is not worth thinking about in Go.) It has everything to do with readability.

If you return an interface, I can't figure out what happens when I call it. That's fine with something like io.Writer, because it's a good abstraction and, anyway, I can guess. But hiding business logic behind an interface is bad, because I usually should understand what happens when I do something like foo.IssueReceipt(), and if foo is an interface, then I can't really know.

The rule in Go has for a long time been "return concrete values, accept interfaces" for precisely this reason.

Another relevant soundbite is that Go interfaces are an "accept-side" construct, unlike Java's, which are a "declare-side" construct. This is a way of saying you shouldn't define an interface near its implementation, you should define it near where it's accepted.

You might notice that this makes it really hard to do dependency injection in Go, and this, too, is intentional.

That would be true if additional GDP was distributed equally. But the rich capture majority of it in their investment vessels. So for a person with capital I think double of GDP is still conservative as long as inequality grows.

I also hate Tableau for this reason. However, it's a bad pattern to be storing custom SQL in a BI tool IMO. Better to create tables or views which hold your report logic and are stored in git. That way you're decoupling defining metrics and business logic from your BI tool, making that information queryable in your warehouse by users or other tools (and easily viewable!).

Spoken like someone who hasn’t put a match to gasoline.

Having recently used gas to help start a wood slashings pile on fire, gasoline is very explosive and dangerous.

Diesel will burn in place when lit. Gasoline vaporizes when let out if its container in ‘room temperature’ conditions and creates a vapor fireball when it finds a nearby ignition source.

Never use gasoline as an ‘accelerant’ to start something else on fire —- it’s way too dangerous.

> Is this an argument against centralization? Isn't that deeply inefficient?

Or for centralization, if we hark back to the "You can get a loooong way on a single server" argument above. Depends on how you define "centralization", I suppose. (Seems to me everything always depends on your definitions, in the end.)

But wait, does this still have anything to do with IDEs? As opposed to Vim (or, say, Notepad)? If so, I'd say IDEs also belong to the category good centralization. At least older ones, before they became desktoppified Web apps with baked-in AS (Artificial Stupidity)...

They are not.

Most of this misconception is when people evaluated flash memory quality, when flash memory was expensive.

Today flash memory is the most cheap stuff you can get your hands on. And quality nose dived, and nobody re-did the comparisons.

Meanwhile HDD are not used anywhere but datacenters, and quality went up. For the same reasons flash storage was good quality before: low inventory only bought by quality conscious clients.

I have a lot of respect for Erik and his work with Modal, which I've heard a lot of good feedback about.

Ask HN: Why is math often taught without explanation?
I'm brushing up my high school math skills and am following a course from a Dutch university (derivatives and integration). I have some knowledge gaps in my basic math skills (especially integration), and I am plugging them all.

It often explains things like as follows.

This is the product rule: f(x)=g(x)h(x)⟹f′(x)=g′(x)h(x)+g(x)h′(x)

And then an example follows. And that's it!

Why is it on the students to go to websites such as [1] to get an intuitive sense of how it works? That geometric explanation saves so much time. It's much easier and by understanding it, I don't need to commit anything to memory (at least not to rote memory by drilling it).

I saw the system as this external thing that if I could get it just right maybe my life would be solved (exaggerating obviously).

Eventually my focus shifted from the system itself, to my interaction with it. I realized that it wasn't about having a system, it was about removing as much friction as possible.

Only slightly related but at my house in rural France, at some point the way houses are numbered changed : each house now has a number which is the distance, in meters, from the beginning of the street (and probably with even/odd depending on which side of the street you're on: didn't check).

But, without asking, the authorities did install the new numbers plate on every single house. So it's all consistent, everywhere.

The official reason is if an ambulance or police car has to find a house: because previously none made sense it was hard to find (it's very sparsely populated). Now the idea is that the driver can just engage in the street and drive x meters and he'll be in front of the correct house.

I take it in Berlin there's t least something a bit related in that they have to be visible in case of an emergency (but I'm just guessing).

> Wow, you really love PoweBI huh.

Wouldn’t say love but prefer over the alternatives. I still find the user interfaces could have been designed better if they were not so focused on matching like other office products. I wish it was as nice as it is to wireframe in Figma. The ribbon and other office elements are dated and not as conducive to todays standard where good collaboration tools is helpful to bringing developers and designers together while being efficient.

> The versioning is quite bad.

Agreed, but it’s got better over the years. Especially in the most recent release of Power BI projects. I feel that Microsoft’s strategy is to provide this new format and let independent developers create versioning tools while they take on higher priorities. They have often taken things those developers have created and incorporated them into their products.
As with all the product requests, you got to pick your battles - I don’t defend which ones they choose. I’m just happy to finally have GIT versioning.

> DAX is pretty; but when it’s big, it’s spaghetti. Worse than SQL.

I agree 100%. I liked how Tableau had a more SQL feeling syntax. I luckily come from an Excel heavy background so adopting was easier than some. I find that most of the verbose code is due to dealing with row and filter contexts which in DAX can be frustrating. Debugging is difficult… I can go on.
With that said, others have offering differing opinions (see: https://www.sqlbi.com/blog/alberto/2020/06/20/7-reasons-dax-...).
All I can say is that I feel there is probably could have been a better syntax / functional language then the one created to produce the same functionality and maintain independence.

There is no such thing “truly serverless”. Your code will be executed by a server.
