Yep. Nothing here seems to contradict that, unless you have found some magical cryptocurrency that has stable value, is easy enough for my mum to use, doesn't have the security properties of stuffing cash in a mattress (and posting a sign outside your house saying "cash here!"), is properly regulated, allows chargebacks, has fraud protections, etc. etc.

No? Didn't think so.

That's not to say there aren't better caching strategies, but a really basic ephemeral setup is right there.

I'm gen Z too (and a designer) and I agree with everything you've said in this thread. This invokes a retro indieweb DIY type of vibe, not the sharp and clear intention that is behind brutalism.

I have tons of side-projects and sometimes fall into the trap of spending the nights working. I you've probably had such projects too…

TL;DR: I think that working less and setting time boundaries forces you to make better decisions and fulfill the higher purpose of achieving more.

Would you agree that constraining yourself is actually productive?
CPUs with length-agnostic vector ISAs -- so vector register size is an implementation detail and code for 128 bit vector registers runs unchanged (but efficiently) on 2048 bit registers -- will very soon be competitive with GPUs on GPGPU tasks and better on things needing close coupling between vector and scalar.

They might even be quite good as actual GPUs, with instructions for things such as texture interpolation added.
"compute" is used by the same people who call a collection of things a "stack".
As someone mentioned - the "Arena Starter Kits" worked for us as an intro to the game.

The basic rules around commander aren't particularly additionally taxing beyond that. (This is your special card that you can play every time. When it dies it goes back to its special spot and it gets more expensive each time you cast it). What I like about the commander format (in the few pre-constructed decks I've bought over the last few years) - they can really lean into a theme/strategy more - and the commander really guides you in how to play this deck.

Start with those arena kits - they are cheap and handle the rules. But if your son sees a commander deck that resonates with him (in theme or mechanics) -- I'd recommend giving it a shot.
That's not insurance then. The whole point of insurance is shared risk in circumstances where perfect information is not available but a reasonable calculation of risk for the cohort is.

I was curious where this was from, so I looked at https://gitlab.com/esr/autodafe/-/blob/master/de-autoconfisc...

As someone who targets clang/gcc/msvc/icc, I don't see much value in these defines. Let's pick on HAVE_STRDUP: what's the point?

If it's always defined on your target platforms, just use the stdlib unconditionally - the define is pointless.

If it's never defined on your target platforms, you'll have to roll an alternative of your own no matter what - the define is pointless.

So the presumed theoretical use case for this is if you sometimes want to define your own, and sometimes want to use the standard library. But do I actually want that? Rarely. Very rarely. If I care to target old systems, I'd generally rather unconditionally define my own version that doesn't conflict with the standard library, that gets tested and used in all builds on all platforms - it'll be less code than adding a bunch of #ifdef soup, and it'll be less brittle - no "works on my machine but fails on the build server" nonsense because of a typo in sometimes-dead code.

That leaves one even narrower use case which isn't entirely theoretical: wanting to backport a modern codebase to an "ancient" toolchain/stdlib via polyfills without touching the modern codebase or the toolchain/stdlib. That approach has it's niches, but... it is worth emphasizing, niches.
Reliability steps were made when we updated the “sparcstation 1s in a university lab” hosting architecture to what marketing called a “hot-swappable blade server with integral UPS” i.e. a bunch of second-hand thinkpads on a rack shelf above the Livingston Portmaster
Frankly, the court ruled wrongly. The ruling throws all kinds of things in a contract in doubt, and that's no good for either party.

Why should anyone think the fine print is irrelevant? Everything in a contract is relevant, or it wouldn't be in the contract.

Reducing the cost of newly built housing does also reduce the resale price of existing old-stock housing, because they're competing for the same buyers.
This is what I do with my homelab too. My gateway is called sol, everything else orbits around it. Furthest out is an Intel NUC at a relatives place with Wireguard access called Pluto.

There is no need for a practical answer, because it has been answered 1000 times.

The reason why people are stuck in the bog is pretty much fear. The fear of being rejected, accepted, sharing publicly (aka being judged).

Telling people to "unfear" themselves is impossible, because its not the same as learning a skill. It takes years of unbundling your behavior, therapy and doing pretty much the opposite of what you are doing now.
Google Flights is great. Google using its search dominance to ensure it's the only flight booking tool anyone will encounter is anti-competitive. Now in this case it is the case that their tool is the best available, but in general leveraging dominance in one field to nearly guarantee dominance in another is not acceptable.
Non-remote work cannot be closer to everyone, if every employee of the company lives in a different suburb, on opposite ends of town.

As for stores, suburbanites will still go to the a cheaper, larger store with more selection. That's usually in the same suburb, but still a good drive.

The core of San Francisco’s housing problem is bureaucracy. In San Francisco, the fees paid to the government for building a single-family house range from $300K to $500K (compared to $30K average across the country), excluding land, materials, and labor costs. This means that for every existing house valued at $1 million, 30% to 50% of its value represents the fees (tax) imposed by the government.
In the framework of GDPR (which I know is not applicable in the US) you have the legal mandate to ask them to correct information about you.

I think that is very reasonable law: If n organisation makes decision about your relations, you should be able to force them to process correct information.

Another aspect is the vast infrastructure which underpins communities. The majority of which is beyond ones own property boundary.

There's a consensus in some countries saying that infrastructure has been suffering a many decades-long decline. For example, New Zealand speaks of a theoretical US$120B deficit, which is in the ballpark of that entire country's yearly GDP.

And as New Zealand itself is somewhat a testament to - it's possible to build somewhere new and distant instead, if you please, away from all these pesky existing infrastructure woes; and then, enjoy paying for everything to be transported there, and building your own all-new infrastructure. Not just the obvious - remember to include things like schools and hospitals and libraries and parks and commercial districts. The costs are numerous.

I believe the author is correct in the sense that the biggest cost of housing may be the externalities, in the same broadly philosophical way that the biggest influence upon a person's life is the world. But it's a lot more than merely the zoning, I think.
Why not SQLite? :) Of course the answer is always "it depends," but lately, I've seen the general "SQLite isn't a real database" ethos challenged more and more. Outside of standard relational persistence patterns, there can be significant feature differences that could very well mean Postgres is the better option. However, for some architectural patterns, SQLite could come out ahead! For a content-heavy application like BusinessInsider, the Baked Data pattern with SQLite might very well offer better cost and latency performance!

I've accepted that about me, but there are two dishes my grandmothers used to make that I'm desperately trying to hang on to a memory of their taste profile,but I only remember it as an abstract description of the taste or as my reaction to eating it. I know I'll recognize it if eaten again but I can't bring that taste back otherwise.
Availability is overblown these days IMO.

Ten or twenty years ago I would have agreed with you: the internet was new, and when the site went down, people blamed the site, and things got nasty fast. Nowadays, though?

People are much more likely to blame their internet provider first, or just plain try again later. They're used to the unreliable nature of the internet now.

Unless you're Google, but how many businesses are Google?

As someone else on this thread said, simpler systems are less likely to fail anyway. Keep backups, replicate your DB to a cold DR site if you're truly worried. That will handle the majority of non-FAANG businesses in the majority of non-FAANG cases.

And if that failure occurs? So long as you don't lose data, it will be a short-lived blip for most businesses. Even being down for a few days can be weathered if you have good PR, provided that it's a once in a blue moon sort of event. For that matter, data losses can be weathered in many cases.

What was that saying? Each nine of reliability doubles the cost or some such?

That needs to be accounted for when determining the ROI. How reliable does your business actually need to be?

That depends on your target market. The default answer from IT, however, is an automatic "100%!". This is wrong, IMO.

Self host
To me, it has always seemed completely bonkers that for most people, the roof over their head should be their #1 expense throughout their adult lives.

It boggles my mind that walls made of bricks that someone laid some 50 years back along with a bunch of pipes are more expensive today than my Tesla Model X… and by a factor of 5 to 10.

Of course, a house is more in terms of pure weight of material. But the again, that material is only dirt. It’s unreasonable that this should be something you’d be paying offf month after month, over decades.

I understand that for people in urban areas, thei main part of their housing cost is actually competing with other people who’d like to live in the same place. I’m talking about construction cost only.
Stopping manmade biosphere destruction is easy, it only requires fundamental political, economic and cultural changes in every single country all at once.

Our political, economic and cultural systems are all rooted in growth. We define wealth as owning and using more than before. Our economies and pensions etc. are built on the expectation of continuous growth. Our cultures revolve in large parts around wealth.

I think the question is no longer what can we do to prevent billions from dying, rather our decisions today will decide how many billions.

Side-note: The perspective above is human centric or supremacist depending on who you ask. We share this world with so many other lifeforms, as of now they don't have a seat at the table. What if we manage to save humans and smartphones from extinction but only us? Is that a world worth living in?

To quote Tom Murphy:

> Energy transition aspirations are similar. The goal is powering modernity, not addressing the sixth mass extinction. Sure, it could mitigate the CO2 threat (to modernity), but why does the fox care when its decline ultimately traces primarily to things like deforestation, habitat fragmentation, agricultural runoff, pollution, pesticides, mining, manufacturing, or in short: modernity. Pursuit of a giant energy infrastructure replacement requires tremendous material extraction—directly driving many of these ills—only to then provide the energetic means to keep doing all these same things that abundant evidence warns is a prescription for termination of the community of life.

It’s worth noting that even in Haskell, overuse of the so called point-free style is disliked for much the same reasons:

https://wiki.haskell.org/Pointfree

There is a sliding scale and even at the Haskellers have a limit of how much point-free they can take.

In JavaScript use of the style is problematic in another way: unlike Haskell in JS the length of the argument list is variable, which means that if someone adds another argument to either the caller or callee it can break the code in subtle and unexpected ways.

For this reason it’s good practice to always wrap functions being passed as arguments to another function in a lambda expression.

i.e instead of writing: g(f), you should usually write: g(x => f(x)) unless you have good reason to believe that g(f) is safe. This makes it difficult to use point-free style at all in JS.

For example arr.map(f) is generally unsafe in JS because if `f` adds an extra default argument of type number then your code will break and even TypeScript won’t let you know.
> After like ten or fifteen hours of trying to understand what currying is

I have doubts on whether this is a sincere attempt at understanding the concept. The linked wiki page is like a five minute read and that's enough to understand the concept at a user's level.

What I suspect is that something else is tripping you up and causing code readability issues; but since you didn't know what currying is you incorrectly ascribed currying as the problem.
Greed makes them expensive.

Besides, modern American homes are constructed very poorly, unable to justify the cost..
Why I'm Not Writing a Productivity Series
No, that's not what I said. I said others things would accommodate the new status quo, hence it's not fair to compare it to "exactly as today, but without cars". Like, you pose that it would be much more miserable. I don't think it would be.
I've heard it's grueling being an SDR (Sales Development Rep). What makes it so difficult?

1. Finding leads?
2. Preparing all the research for calls?
3. Other?

I've heard anecdotally that people say SDRs are usually 'new grads' who are starting off and want to 'put in their time' before moving into more senior sales roles.

Essentially, it comes off as a role that you just have do, but no one really likes it. Trying to understand why.
Yes. I have. It’s called USDT. There’s also USDC.

And we built blockchain apps that let anyone release their own at https://intercoin.org

All those other properties you mentioned are not essential to being used as a medium of exchange. People can make their own conflict resolution procedures without involving the daddy government. Your idea of “security properties” is that a bank holds your money, well around the world people get their assets frozen by these banks.
No, that's not it.

At its core, it's about whether you're trying to pressure them into sex with you.

I should have specifically said everyone gets the offer, to keep it simple. If the expectation is that basically everyone refuses, then it's not very different from walking around town and telling random people you'll hire them if they have sex with you. Which is just prostitution, not coercion.

Whether someone feels pressured is a difficult communication problem. It's hard to reduce to a simple thought experiment.

If G Flights is the most popular flight booking site/tool, will it not continue to appear at the top of search results? It would just require a click-through to get to.

Heck, if Google wanted they could publish some standard for exposing your site as a trip-booking tool that can appear right on a search results page like Flights does now, and if a page exposing that sort of embeddable widget ranks first in a search then it could display the widget above the results.
The cochlea actually supports the point the article makes, as while it does transform to the frequency domain it doesn't do (or even approximate) a Fourier transform. The time->frequency domain transform it "implements" is more like a wavelet transform.

Edit: To expand on this, to interpret the cochlea as a fourier transform is to make the same mistake as thinking eyes have cone cells that respond only to red, green or blue light. The reality is that each cell has a varying reponse to a range of frequencies. Cone cells have a range that peaks in the low, medium or high frequency area and tails off at the sides. Cochlear hair cells have a more wavelet-like response curve with secondary peaks at harmonics of their peak response frequency.

Caveat: I'm not an expert in this, only an enthusiastic amateur, so I eagerly await someone well-akshuallying my well-akshually.
Running on bare metal nets you serious latency reductions and I/O bandwidth increases compared to the products you linked to, and you have significantly less complexity in a single server or dual server model, that is why operations like LetsEncrypt choose to use this dual physical server architecture to power their global services at web scale: https://letsencrypt.org/2021/01/21/next-gen-database-servers...

Very low internal latency from an on server database or directly adjacent database allows your software to run database queries orders of magnitudes faster and spend less resources per client served, resulting in a speedier, snappy experience for your end users compared to what any of these managed database services can provide in practice.
> Performance is a feature

contradicts with brutalism IMO. like someone already said, brutalism is when form follows function and without much frivolity, and one of the functions of a website is being usable by loading smooth and fast (the wingdings are not it).

this is not necessarily a dunk on you, this is more of a dunk on David Bryant Copeland; I'm really sick of developers and programmers who co-opt design movements or other design-adjacent terms, make up a definition or principles that seem like they could fit but then fail when inspected closely. Someone here already mentioned Gumroad as an example of (neo) brutalist web design; Figma is another great example. The sites here https://brutalistwebsites.com/ are great typography-driven examples. This could even count as brutalist https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/ especially because their goal, as a site running on solar power, is to be as well performing (and low bloat) as possible while still satisfying expectations of functionality.

I think my advice to you would be, look outside of the developer/programmer sphere when building out design. Brutalism is not only "the least lines of code", it's also a lot about intention when it comes to function, and then, form.
California is one of the capitalistic states out there. But they have politicians, government, regulation, like any other state. Insurers are also rapidly leaving Florida, so it might not just be about regulation, or those two states do lots of regulation, or something in between.
