This looks great, is there a converter to convert an OpenAPI yml file to TypeSpec?
Sorry, you are correct.

But the situation is shocking either way.
I'm not sure why you're surprised. This site is populated by people who view people and society as nothing more than a complicated Excel spreadsheet and jump at the chance to call things "negative externalities" if it aligns with their belief system despite it having a potentially large negative effect on those that they claim to care about.
Credit to whoever named the NeXT emulator “Previous”. That’s brilliant.
Yeah, same here. I don't think I was mature enough to have a kid at 22, apart from the fact that I was still studying, and when I started working I had low salary and needed to work long hours to fight for job stability in a competitive sector. However, it would likely have worked at 30, and reading through all this makes me think that it would have been better than waiting until 36 as I did.

Easier said (especially in retrospective) than done, though.
It is a snapshot in time, and so wrong if viewed in a longer context.

People from Europe, came to have the Industrial Revolution at just the correct moment.

Some small changes in history and it would have happened in India.

It is making a theory to fit the facts.

I do not think the author is a "white supremacist" but the book reads like that. Taking all the accidents of history and making them seem like destiny that Europeans rule the world (they do not, they never did, and they are fading from world domination fast)
You started very well listing two theories. Where you went wrong is being immediately sure one is wrong and one is right (maybe both are wrong or both are right), being sure which is right, and excluding the possibility for more explanations, by delving into the study and how it controls for variables you hinted at.

All in all, good start, but be less certain, more open-minded and pay more attention to details.

I have no opinion about eugenics, other than obviously it's extremely likely it'll go wrong in the current political and cultural climate. But genes are genes, and they define us and they're constantly in flux. To reject that is basically cult-like thinking that wants to reject basic scientific knowledge in favor of some theory of morality that sets taboo on topics that are beyond discussion.

I'm not a big fan of cults. They make us stupid and strive to keep us stupid. Smart is better.
Except I'm not american. I'm brazilian. Puritan influence? Can't get any further than that. Do you actually think it's just americans who'd refuse to eat bugs?

I'm not gonna eat insects dude. I'm just not gonna do it. They could be the literal embodiment of protein and I still wouldn't eat them. There's just no way you can convince me to do that.

I don't care how much space, energy, water, whatever else is required for meat production either. That's what I want to eat. That's what I'm gonna eat.

I don't eat chicken nuggets either. I eat meat and assorted vegetables. Properly cooked.
Do you think the 1 km wide DMZ isn’t meaningfully changing the situation?

(I obviously don’t like the idea… but from my view there have been multiple attempts to have Gaza develop, and they generally fail out of apparent spite. If the adjacent country is a failed state run by a terrorist group… I’m not sure what better ‘meaningful change’ can be reached.)
All of this is true, I'd argue, even outside of the SW engineering and product development space.

I appreciate your introspection and honesty. I will be sharing this post with my team. I particularly plan on honing-in on your note regarding validation. I had a very senior SW engineer recently stand up in a specification whiteboarding session and proclaim "this is a fucking waste of time" (while the junior dev's looked at each other with wide eyes that I read as "I was just happy we were finally all getting on the same page with respect to building what the customer is truly asking for").

So... thanks.
It will definitely affect a lot of people around the margins. Right now, if you commute from North Jersey, you might pay $250 a month in bridge tolls, $600 a month for parking and another $100 for gas (I’m assuming you commute 20 days a month). This will add another 300 bringing your total from $750 a month to $1050. Many people will commute by car anyway, but that is not an insubstantial increase.
> How is discouraging monopolistic practices going to line the pockets

Three easy ways come to mind:

1) Play the stock market using the insider info on decisions and regulations politicians know well in advance.

2) Regulations and laws once enacted have to be implemented. So many compliance chief or consultant positions suddenly opening up at multinational corporations.

3) Cheap populism moves work wonders on economically-ignorant voters. "I smacked Apple/Microsoft/Google" guarantees years of sucking from the public teat

The bitter irony is that the only effective way to deal with monopolies is though free market competition. And regulation is the polar opposite of that: regulation discourages startups and favors the incumbents.

So, yes, heavily regulated markets guarantee less competition which is worse for "us".

> Debian is not easier or more stable(for desktop), that is just the marketing niche they fell under.

What? Debian is absolutely easier than Arch - it defaults to shipping a GUI and installation has been handled by a wizard for ~forever, while Arch long preferred "here's a live CD and a wiki page about how to manually construct a system" - and anything with actual releases is more stable than Arch's rolling approach ("stable" being in the sense of "if it worked yesterday it'll work tomorrow").

> Bought a nvidia GPU laptop with trackpad in 2023? On Debian, the GPU, Trackpad, and reddit videos are all going to require grandmas to breakout the terminal just to use them. (FYI the GPU thing is finally updated as they moved to Kernel 6)

Yes, new hardware is likely to need new drivers. Of course, once you hack in the bleeding edge packages it's hardly a stable/LTS OS anymore regardless.
Good I want it to spin faster! Wheee!!
There is an open-source DisplayPort transmitter [1] that apparently supports multiple 2.7 Gbps lanes (albeit using family-specific SERDES/differential transceiver blocks, but I doubt that's avoidable at these speeds). This isn't PCIe, but it's also surprisingly close to PCIe 1.0 (2.5 Gbps/lane, and IIRC they use the same 8b/10b code and scrambling algorithm).

I think this is the story people tell themselves, but as far as I can tell it's mostly just a story. Kids are resilient and don't need the material wealth college educated people tend to assume they will to have a good childhood. And as for parents, there's really a lot to be said for raising kids while you're young and energetic, it's just easier.

The problem is that it's nearly impossible to convey to a childless person how meaningful parenthood will be to their life. It's something you have to experience firsthand to understand. That's why social norms and defaults are so important here.
I think that is what Nasa's X-59 plane that is doing to eliminate/minimize the sonic boom too. Pushing the boom upwards.

I hate the phrase "hard work". It's so misleading.

When most successful people say that "hard work" is an ingredient in success, they really a combination of traits such as diligence, conscientiousness, and perseverance. "Hard work" is often, but not always, an outcome of being diligent and persevering, but it isn't, by itself, causal of success.

One of the most important things a mentor ever said to me was when my doctoral advisor told me, "no one cares how hard you worked." At the time this was advice about how to compose scientific papers and talks: they should be structured about results and why they're important, and not as a report on your effort. But as advice, it goes way beyond just communications. Really, nobody cares how hard you worked. Now the fact is that sometimes you do have to work really hard to get the things that you want. Other times you don't. But hard work isn't an end in itself.

On recent flights, I was surprised how many people who somehow chose a window seat, closed the window, during broad daylight. This is a big change from when I was younger, where so many more people had the window open and were interested in seeing what was outside. I wonder what changed? Is it phones? Is it sleep debt? Is it that they have flown 100 times now and the novelty is gone?

I always love listening to music and looking out the window.

true, I am just pushing back on the idea that "abusing a chip is mostly a myth" and "if a CPU is working on the day you buy it, it's fine for desktop use-cases". For server parts that can't be OC'd - true, I guess. For regular CPUs? Absolutely not true, enthusiasts abuse the shit out of them and even if you do no further damage yourself, the degradation can continue over time etc as parts of the circuit just become critically unstable from small routine usage etc.

(people treat their CPUs like gamer piss-jugs, big deferred cost tomorrow for a small benefit today.)

But yes - ironically this means surplus server CPUs are actually way more reliable than used enthusiast CPUs. In some cases they are drop-in compatible in the consumer platform (although not so much in newer stuff), and the server stuff got the better bins in the first place, and it's cheaper (because they sold a lot more units), and also hasn't been abused by an enthusiast for 5 years etc. If you are on a platform like Z97 or X99 that supports the Xeon chips, the server chips are a complete no-brainer.

And some xeons are even multiplier unlocked etc - used to be a thing, back in the day.

("server bins are binned for leakage and don't compete with gaming cpus" is another myth that is not really true except for XOC binning - server CPUs are better binned than enthusiast ones for ambient use-cases.)
That would be really nice!
Of course you can compile the server from source if you have Go and the OpenAPI generator JAR (https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator?tab=readme...)

Follow these steps : https://github.com/c100k/rebootx-on-prem/blob/master/.github...

And then :

(cd ./impl/http-server-go && GOARCH=amd64 GOOS=openbsd go build -o rebootx-on-prem-http-server-go-openbsd-amd64 -v)

By adapting the arch if needed. Not tested, but it should work.

In particular, people used to plain FSK RC protocols like Spektrum DSM, FrSky D8, Futaba FASST, and similar which tend to failsafe around <1km even with 100mW of power believed that a 2.4GHz link could never do 100km regardless of interference or noise issues.

Also notably, LoRa does tremendously well with real-world noise and interference. Of course any receiver is susceptible to frontend overload, but in "normal" situations I never worry about flying 2.4GHz even in crowded cities, and have never had a failsafe even in some ridiculous situations. As someone above mentions, LTE on the 800MHz band with 900MHz control links are much more of a problem - I've had a failsafe for that exact reason at <200m total distance from takeoff.
Nice use case. I'd be curious to see how it behaves by using the SSH feature.

Personally, I would like to see more dedicated bus lanes. I traveled to Vancouver a few years ago where dedicated bus lanes are ubiquitous, and the decision to take public transit instead of a taxi was easy because the buses got me where I needed to go much faster. Make dedicated bus lanes in and out of the city and you’ll start to even wealthy people ditching their cars for commutes because the buses will be much faster.

If you think about it, there are about a couple of hundred super-centenarians (110 or older) alive[1]. Surely at least one of them met a very old relative when they were young - for example, when I was 9, I met a great uncle who was 100 years old. Taking into account life expectancy, if you assume at least one of them has met someone 85 years older than them, that means this oldest "directly known person" would have been born at least 195 years ago (1829). Which means there’s a good chance someone alive has met someone born in the 1820’s.

> Who would drive into Manhattan to buy anything?

Because the selection and quality are unlike almost any place in the world.
> The answer is always the same: start a company. I'm not sure why so many developers are terrified by the prospect.

Perhaps because starting a company is an extremely high-risk endeavor that requires a different skillset than development does, and demands a great deal more energy, time, sacrifice, commitment, and tolerance for loss than any software development position.

It's worth doing (and I recommend it for those who are up for it), but it's absolutely not for everybody.
Your experience is very relatable. My first Proxmox adventure began with installing Proxmox 8 on 2 hetzner boxes: one with CPU, one with GPU. Spent two straight weekends on the CPU box and just when I was about to give up on proxmox completely I had a good night’s sleep and things finally ‘clicked’. Now I’m drinking the proxmox koolaid 100% and making it my go-to OS.

For the GPU box I completely abandoned the install after attempting to do the gymnastics around GPU passthrough. I like Proxmox but I’m not a masochist - Looking forward to the day when that just works.
As someone who prefers schema-first design this looks awesome. Having to hand cut OpenAPI specs is gross and quickly becomes unwieldy.
Reading this reminded me of the feeling I had when I first understood what it means for spacetime to be four-dimensional and how an object that appears stationary is actually moving at the speed of light, but in the direction of time.

So, in reality, nothing’s ever just sitting still, everything’s always moving at speed c. You can't just "stop". We just have to choose how we’re moving that speed around—through the x, y, z, or t direction.
