Ah, seems you missed out on the funnest shenanigans inside AWS :D

These are called Fight Club issues, and are restricted access issues that don't show up for most team members. Gotta cordon off the real hairy bugs!
The technique you describe requires us to predict what data should be partially applied (before actually using it), and what data should be applied and used immediately. In contrast, currying/partial application doesn't require this decision from us -- for this reason I consider the functional approach more flexible than the object-oriented one.

In addition to that, I don't always find the constructor/method approach more readable. It _can_ be readable, if you design your API with care; however, it is common to group related data into records in the FP world as well, which mimicks OOP constructors, in a sense.
> AWS, and yet so many people talk about how the cloud is so cheap

Is AWS not widely known as one of the most expensive cloud providers all round?

And the cloud is not cheap in general, it's just convenient. If you do the math, most cloud providers only need a few months to make back the cost of the hardware, after that it's all money printing.

If you need something running 24/7 for a year+ it's always cheaper to buy... unless you're a large firm who doesn't trust their high turnover employees with their own infrastructure, which is where AWS makes their money.
You were closer to the fire than I was, and I do not envy this position that you had.

I'm over here remembering that /etc/passwd was world-readable (and shadowless) on a given system's [singular] shell box, but you were more like the man behind the curtain.
That's already an issue with cars. Most EVs beep or sing or hiss quite loudly when you put them in reverse gear and at low speeds where tyre noise is low they have to augment with ICE and/or whining sounds to not be so silent and deadly. Especially the last few decades from the walkman to ipods to modern bluetooth headphones it's already been really important that vehicles make noise to warn pedestrians of their presence. Suddenly getting reversed on in a parking garage makes nobody happy.
On one project that was a bit more involved, I pulled the latest image I've built from the registry before starting the build. That worked well enough for caching in my case.
Then it's evidently not for you, if the use case benefit isn't apparent? Same reason you personally wouldn't use Chargebee but others might.
Stories inferred from pictures or videos are not implicitly using language. Language comes into the picture only when a human viewer interprets what is happening and describes it in words.

E.g. if we watch an unnarrated nature video of a squirrel gathering nuts into its burrow, we can describe it with words and sentences. But those sentences don't actually occur in the video, implicitly or otherwise, and can say misleading things, like that the squirrel is thinking forward to next winter, and planning for having enough to eat when foraging becomes difficult.

The pictures in Xu Bing's book would have to be logograms rather than pictograms in order for the book to contain language.

A sequence of pictograms could be used to record a story (say of events shared by a group of people). Those pictograms could be used to stir their accurate recollection of the events, which they could talk about in language. But that's not the same thing as actually recording that language.

It is in most places. At least in Europe where I live there's a limit of 12 years old for cycling on sidewalks and pedways marked with only a pedestrian sign, whereas sidewalks which are wide enough and marked with both a bicycle and pedestrian sign as well as paths marked with both a bicycle and pedestrian signs are for pedestrians and bicyclists equally. And of course this has its logical conclusion in bicycle-exclusive bike lanes and bike paths with no pedestrians at all on them. It's especially no issue if everyone gets the rules, generally on wide sidewalks where bikes are allowed the outer side with buildings is for pedestrians and the inner side near the road is for cars. Where no bicycle-OK sidewalk exists you just use the road or walk with the bike.
This is such a weird complaint, Google searches hasn't taken you to the websites of various hotels for a decade or more, maybe a few pages in they did, but the first page of search results have been booking sites and ads for booking sites for a long time.

If the booking sites are such a huge issue for the hotels, which I can honestly believe, then don't use them, or do collective negotiations with them and demand better rates.

The complaint about the maps button not being on the search page is rather funny, because I haven't used that in ages. I've been using search engines which has a ! operator, so !gm or !maps for 10+ years every time I needed a map, so I just didn't notice. While I haven't read the DMA rules, it does seem strange that they can't just link to Google maps.

It's worth mentioning that Nix is pretty old at this point, it feels a little younger due to its recent surge in popularity. But 20 years ago (that is 8 years before v8!), the programming languages market looked quite different from today.

Guix shows that it's possible to use a different frontend language technically, but switching the nixpkgs repo itself over to anything else at this point would be an enormous community effort where it's hard to say whether it's worth it.

Assuming a state-actor is a cope though. It's looking at the problem and saying "well we were fighting god himself, so really what could we have done?"

> why is there a huge preference for SFH in the US

Single family homes are typically more spacious than apartments, come with a yard and driveway, have less noise polution from the neighbors, and are often located in lower-crime areas than dense apartments. Most importantly, owning your home in full means that you're not paying a landlord each month and it can also be passed down to your children.

> most people prefer Apartments because of how many amenities you can get

Some single family neighborhoods have a homeowner's association (HOA) that maintains a community clubhouse with stuff like a swimming pool and tennis courts. A bad HOA can be obnoxious, but in many cities you can choose whether to buy a home in a HOA or non-HOA neighborhood.

> apartments can house a lot more people compared to a row of SFH houses

Correct; Dense apartments and condos are far more space-efficient than single family housing, and suburban sprawl creates a lot of problems like car dependency.

Understandably though, for the reasons mentioned above, most people would prefer to live in a SFH if they're able to.

I'm not really sure what the ideal apartment:SFH ratio would look like, but practically speaking to bring housing costs down we probably need to focus on rapidly building large amounts of dense apartments in high-demand cities like San Fransisco that have failed to permit anywhere near enough new housing to meet demand.
Partial application just means fixing some arguments. My point was you can do that easily using lambda functions.

I guess you were talking about `functools.partial`, which is basically the same as currying and also only works on the last arguments. It's better to use lambda functions.

Also Python is far from the only language to have a function like that, e.g. see C++'s `std::bind` which nobody* uses since lambdas were supported.

Maybe it is also the slow but steady shift from rural to urban, because rural life is becoming less and less attractive? Otherwise there would not be such an influx and need for urban housing. Why is making life outside cities better not considered as alternative or additional measure?
Extism can be really useful for packaging up and running cross-language libraries!

The most clear information about it is at: https://extism.org, but its a bit focused on the primary use case for Extism, being a universal plugin system.

There is a C PDK (https://github.com/extism/c-pdk) which you'd probably want to use in a new wrapper around your library in C++, and compile it to wasm32 freestanding or WASI, but without emscripten. Extism doesn't currently have an interop layer to emscripten.
There are plenty of people - technical and non-technical - who seem to be acting like AGI is right around the corner thanks to LLMs, and who are, more broadly, vastly overstating the current capabilities of LLMs. I’m observing this in real life as much as on the internet. There are two very distinct groups of people that stand out to me: (1) High level execs with vested interests around AI and (2) Managers who haven’t even bothered to create an OpenAI account and are asking their subordinates to use ChatGPT for them, in what is an unforeseen usage of LLMs: by human proxy.
Governments allows banks to create new money in the money supply when they make a loan. Banks live to make these type of loans. It's basically no work for them and a lot of free interest money once they have them secured.

One socially accepted area of taking a massive loan is in housing. People seem strangely ok to work as a slave for the banks so that they can live in a box. This pushes up the prices of housing and at the same time inflates the money supply.

If we removed their ability to create new money, house prices would come down and people instead of banks could make an income from their own capital in peer to peer lending.

From a bricks and concrete and steel perspective, wooden-framed houses with drywall interiors certainly have many advantages, for example far easier infrastructure maintenance - a lot of the piping and wiring remains openly accessible or is just in drywall. If you need to replace a leaky pipe in an european house, you're going to absolutely wreck the room. If you need to replace the wiring or want to pull new wires (e.g. network or CATV), well there is no pulling new wires. Only wrecking the rooms with a wall chaser. Remodeling seems way easier. Also central ventilation being quite common, while essentially impossible to retrofit into a brick and mortar house.
and TikTok?
I grew up in one of those construction oriented families that sunk everything they had into buying, building, and renovating new properties. Indeed it made them very wealthy, but it left me impoverished in more ways than one. Did you know how much you have to pay for college isn't just calculated on your parents' income, but their assets, too? My parents didn't.

I decided early on I don't want anything to do with that pyramid scheme. Give me a nondescript apartment on the 57th floor of a highrise any day of the week and let me do work which matters.
Discussions of zoning, building codes etc. are valuable, but I think everyone's missing the main factor: If you somehow made housing 50% cheaper people would just demand 50% larger housing.

If you look at housing size over time people today are living in palaces by the standards of someone a century ago.

In the US, the average household size has expanded by 1000 sq ft since the 70s [1]. That's an addition of an average household from the 1910s, which on average had two more people living in it compared to today.

And where people don't demand extra space they demand more luxury.

One example is AC. It's unthinkable to construct a house without it in some parts of the US, but people living there a 100 years ago somehow made do without.

Over here in western Europe we've had less size inflation than the Americans, but we've had the same luxury inflation.

People here want insulation and sound proofing that's extravagant by American standards so they won't hear the neighbours, huge windows, electric sockets everywhere etc.

> "they pretend to pay us, we pretend to work" setup that benefits nobody

It benefits the existing social structures, so they don't actually have to change with the times but can remain in a half-assed patched state that barely holds on because nobody wants to deal with the full rewrite.
I considered guix, but they seem a bit more religious about non-free. It might be cool to create a lisp->nix transpiler, but nixpkgs is in nix, and you spend a lot of time reading that when doing anything nix.

It's not a dictator that you need, it's to get the government to stop prohibiting things that ought not to be prohibited. Which you can go vote for.

One of the better ways to do this is to go vote at the state or federal level to remove local zoning restrictions. Because the locals want their housing prices to go up and you don't get a vote in the local election unless you can already afford a house there, but you do get to vote in state and federal elections, so use it.
With the mortgage route, owning a house isn't beneficial until you pay it off, which for most people isn't until they are well into their 60's. The main benefit of owning a home is immediate improvement in quality of life, which is worth it only if you have a children to raise in my subjective opinion.

Often, it's the people in the area that make or break the housing market, which blog posts like this always overlook. There are maybe a handful of metropolitan areas/megapolis in the US where the majority of americans could live and feel welcome. Land and building costs are probably cheaper in Idaho or rural Ohio but it may not be safe for anyone who can't assimilate to the goings ons if those areas. That can be said much of rural US. That's why not many remote workers relocate to cheaper and prettier places in the US.

I am however a huge proponent of high speed rail connecting remote suburbs with city centers. Building new housing on unincorporated land and connecting it via high speed rail that is. Imagine suburbs in NE california or south of Reno,NV (or much of south central NV) to LA and SF. Or Denver with western colorado. Point is, much of the US is not developed. People would want to live in rural areas if it meant easy and fast access to cities. Even considering remote suburbs part of the big city in terms of tax, laws and infrastructure support.

Hey GW King,

Interesting, I never had this issue but I also run it through Peewee (on Python) so that might manage that. Or maybe because I put

PRAGMA journal_mode = 'wal';

this helps by putting things in write ahead logs to avoid having to lock so excessive. Maybe this iwll help you scale?

About the Litestream to S3, how is that? I considered that but it seems very new so I am unsure how stable it is?
I'm not sure what the best solution is, but I agree on the pain dealing with autotools when they fail. Shotgun debugging where you start poking at things randomly can work for some stuff, but never works here.

After working on many different software libraries and frameworks, my firm belief is that you really need to understand the lower layers to use and troubleshoot them effectively.

Best case scenario there are excellent error messages and you can easily review logfiles to understand the root cause of the problem.

But that is rarely the case. Instead you have to have a detailed mental model of the library/framework you're using, and you must be able to quickly picture what it will do internally for the inputs that you give it.

Once you get to that point, many bugs don't appear in the first place because you immediately see that the input/usage doesn't make sense. And the bugs that do happen become much easier to figure out from the output and cryptic error messages you get.

All this to say that it is really unappealing to work on things like bugs in someone else's autotool scripts. I just want to compile the program to run it. I don't want to spend months of my life to understand the inner workings of autotools.
The problem is people keep focusing on the libsystemd element because systemd has it's big hate-on crew and the vector was for what's deemed "simple".

The better question though is...okay, what if the code involved was not simple? xz is a full compression algorithm, compressors have been exploit vectors for a while, so rolling your own is a terrifically bad idea in almost all cases. There's plenty of other more sophisticated libraries as well where you could've tried to pull the exact same trick - there's nothing about it being a "simple" inclusion in this case which implies vendoring or rolling your own is a good mitigation.

The saying goes that everyone is always preparing to fight the last war, not the next (particularly relevant because adversaries are likely scouring OSS looking for other projects that might be amenable to this sort of attack - how many applications have network access these days? An RCE doesn't need to be in sshd).

If you search the r/localllama community on reddit, there have been attempts at fine tuning base models with all references to AI and assistants and that sort of thing removed, in trying to convince the model that it's actually human.

What really results from that is a fundamental disconnect of what it thinks it can do and what it can physically do, it's like a cognitive dissonance simulator that quickly derails itself. The best models know exactly what they are, and it's what seemingly keeps them self consistent and coherent.
> Which makes sense to me. If an LLM is giving you a mixture of "hallucinations" and correct answers, the correct answers will similar and the hallucinations will hopefully be chaotic

I expect that to give you something close to the confidence of the underlying model to some specific claim, which is good, but I still expect legends (urban and cultural) to be high-ranked.

They'd be very human mistakes, but still mistakes.

I think the only way past that is to build a world model, look for contradictions, and then look for new evidence to resolve those contradictions.
