> If your language’s compiler toolchain can manage to produce useful Wasm in a file that is less than a handful of over-the-wire kilobytes, you can win.

Zig is perfect for this.

Personally, I don't think this is an important factor if Wasm file size is less than 100K. It does matter if the file size is over MB.

Builtin GC is only important for some apps, not all. It is best to make your web app GC-free.

The most important factor for apps using Wasm to succeed is still performance benefit.
hypopg is now supported in RDS so the steps would be:

1. Enable hypopg

create extension if not exists hypopg;

2. Copy/paste the plpgsql file:

We are also developing the Trusted Language Extension with the RDS team, so at some point it should be easier to do this through database.dev:

Yep, installing Ubuntu is exactly what I do.

I'd imagine it's a bit harder for the Gentoo users, since it's easy to accidentally add a dependency on some DBus daemon or something, and never notice if you don't ever use any lighter distros.
> People hate Office? I don't think I've seen any significant hate for Microsoft Office

They absolutely do. Many people hate the office suite in its entirety, lots of people hate some program in particular (I particularly despise Word). Most people are indifferent and have accepted that $Program is what they are using in $Job
I can't buy into this essay really because it does not show me which code was ported, probably because it was such a shame to even show it to the public. It seems to me that react application was made terrible from the beginning, and I saw many such terrible applications. 255 dependencies for a simple website? The people who used them certainly did not knew what they are doing. By the way to build react ui you need only two. The rest is your choice to use or not depending on how much you know. I could port this monster to 5000 lines of code using the same react with 99% less js dependencies, 80% less memory usage bla bla bla, because I know how to use this tool. And you're right, htmx is really better for these people because it is a familiar pattern. But for me hypermedia is a step back, I would still prefer my lightsaber instead of a pizza-knife because I'm a master jedi and I won't cut off my own hand with it. Yes, it is a library a bit harder to adopt, learn and use consciously – but you can cut through thick metal doors.
The comparison doesn't work on manufactured products. You can really only compare commodities.

Anything that is manufactured has a multitude of factors that will reduce cost of a product significantly over time. If the circuitry in an Xbox were constructed in 1960 no government on the planet would have been able to afford it. It would also be difficult to find enough power to run it or a place big enough to build it with the technology of the time.

What viable European alternatives to Microsoft Office are there? Google Docs is also a US-based cloud service. LibreOffice is ugly, its UX is sometimes worse than Office 2003 (especially Calc, where pivot tables have to be blindly configured in a modal dialog, and there is no equivalent to the Table feature from Excel), and they still haven't implemented automatically downloading updates.

> Medical training isn't as simple as just adding a lecture theatre and a few classrooms, or even a whole university building faculty of lecturers and admin. You also need a hospital (and GP surgeries etc) to be attached as well as enough senior staff to train them when they are there. That training is very intensive on trainer:trainee ratios and the senior staff are also in critically short supply as the ones who were trained up when there was training capacity (which, to be fair, was a time when it was far cheaper to train a medical student), are retiring by the thousands and many newer junior doctors quit or emigrate as a result of their experiences up to that point.

All easily solvable:

1. * You also need a hospital (and GP surgeries etc) to be attached as well as enough senior staff to train them when they are there. *

Only for the final 2 years of a total of 7 years of study, which means if we ramp up entrants for 2025, the extra new facilities need to be ready only in 2032.

2. * That training is very intensive on trainer:trainee ratios and the senior staff are also in critically short supply *

Not a problem for a career which is regulated with a national body - simply enforce a minimum number of hours of teaching/mentorship per year to renew mambership of that body. Since the full capacity will only be needed by 2032, this can be done progressively over 7 years.

3. * are retiring by the thousands and many newer junior doctors quit or emigrate as a result of their experiences up to that point.*

Simple: you currently don't get to qualify as a practicing doctor simply by passing exams, so withhold certification until a minimum time has been spent in mentorship/public health services.
I trained as a doctor, then family practice for a few years, but since the middle of my studies, I realised my main passion was the more technical aspects. I did a bachelor's in electronics engineering while working 50% as a doctor the first two years, and with the last year dedicated only to studying. I realised a bachelor's would not be enough to get the engineering jobs I desired, so I went back to medicine and started training as a radiologist. There they agreed to fund me doing PhD research 50% of my time, and I am now doing a PhD using AI diagnosing dementia from MRI scans--basically my dream job, while working 50% as a radiologist which also is fun and intellectually very rewarding.
I didn't want to put too many caveats in my original statement, but yes - there's a difference between judging someone on physical attributes they can change vs. on attributes they can't. How you dress is a valid signal of something, how much effort you put into your appearance is a valid signal of something too.

But even past a baseline of putting some effort into looks, there is still some difference between how good different people look. Judging based on that is stupid (because it's not actually correlative with anything) and immoral (same reason).
> "yeah I have a User, but I don't know if it's a valid User".

This, imo, is one of the big reasons people so easily dismiss OOP. They put whatever data _they think they probably need_ in an object using setters/builders/what have you. This leads to abstractions of data that don't accurately reflect state. They will then let an external entity (service or whatever pattern) manipulate this data. At this point people might as well use something analogous to a C struct where anything can be done to the values. Objects are not managing their own invariants. When you rip this responsibility from an object, then nothing becomes responsible for the validity of an object. Due to this, people wonder why they get bugs and have trouble growing their software.

This also leads to things like "isValid". People don't understand that an object should be constructed with only valid data. The best example I've found of protecting variants and construction of valid objects to be this strategy in F#:

>Isn’t this a sign that you are following too closely?

If you open enough space ahead of you for a car, someone will cut in. Driving too closely isn't something only you can do something about.

In fact, because of the aforementioned behaviour, it's safer to drive too close because it's far more dangerous for a car to cut in in front of you because he perceives "enough" space to do so.

You gotta consider increases in material possessions as well if you want to calculate inflation properly.

While "Stress at Work" is inevitable; its frequency, duration and intensity have increased exponentially in the Software Development Industry. They have forgotten that we are "Biological Organisms" first (with all its natural limitations) and "Software Developers" last. Instead of devising systems/methodologies/processes for "Emotional Humans" everything is being tailored towards a "Rational Automaton" which is plainly wrong. In my own career starting from early 90's i have seen/studied how this change in environment has affected me personally for the worse (notwithstanding the effects of ageing) and am willing to bet that it is the case in general.
It should be noted that the previous formula was from before 1983 when it was changed and it was changed because it overstated inflation.
So a better headline should be, academic sour about being wrong all the time uses outdated formula to calculate higher inflation number.
People are angry about inflation now because they compare prices to before the pandemic, so cumulative inflation over a longer period than one year.
Also given most mortgages are 30year fixed, the change in 1983 was the correct thing to do, though it could be updated to use internet data on rents more.
Fair points.

Also; there might exist a phenomenon such that MS products allow "consolidation" of influence/power in big/old organisations. For example, Slack would need to be a bottom-up initiative in most organisations, whereas MS Teams is a top-down initiative.

MS Teams is lower risk from the perspective of management as it creates less of an alternative "center-of-gravity" for power.

Maybe it's more common in Europe for prestigious positions/roles (as opposed to compensation) to be used as reward/incentive (as opposed to a tool for change). Not sure.
Amazingly enough, this Andrew Moulden is a completely unrelated person to Andrew Wakefield, with his own much more sincere but correspondingly more crackpot theory for why vaccines cause autism. I think it can be well summarized as “germ theory is wrong; germs (viruses and bacteria) don’t cause diseases, foreign particles entering the body causes them”. This claim is clearly and fundamentally wrong, just like the claim about neuroplasticity that you quote. There is no value in his work.

This is very naive thinking that all the ads came with Mikhail Parakhin. He only lead Windows for 6 months.

Windows have ads since Windows 10, 9 years ago. There was several leadership changes on Windows in those 9 years. And the ads continued every single leadership.

The reason these ads exists, it's because Microsoft can't profit anymore on Windows itself (they don't sell updates), they don't have a store with enough users/dev to monetize on it, and they don't sell enough hardware like apple to profit from it as well.

So there's only two things left for them: ads or subscription

Btw, this "ad" actually already existed on Windows 10.

Far worse with Android users? In general, sure. Google Pixel phones however nowadays comparable to Apple in terms of security. Some argue more secure. And as others have noted Google has notified people about similar before.

If I am going somewhere unfamiliar, I do use a map ... but only to make directions that I internalize beforehand. I believe that this mental exercise improves your sense of direction and general orientation.

I don't merely do a "turn here onto Route X," rather I note if I will be passing a particular road on the left, if I will be going through a town, and so on. My turns are always in the "left/east onto," including both my personal orientation and world orientation. It is a little time-consuming but there is an eventual payoff.

That part caught my attention as well. There's a danger in the seductive whisper of "you need more". Whether it's material goods, power, fame, or whatever else, pursuing external things like these is a hole which can never be filled. It seems to me that true happiness is to be found inward. If you can learn to find happiness where you are right now, then you can have a good life regardless of your external circumstances.

I had two really powerful insights when I was a teenager. The first was when I got a Christmas gift I really wanted (a walkman iirc), and it struck me that actually having it didn't fulfill me nearly as much as I had thought it would. The other was when my grandpa died, and I would have given anything to have him back (and I still would). These two experiences made me realize that stuff is hollow and unimportant, and what truly matters in this world are people. Being with the people you love is the greatest thing we can have, and unlike material possessions can never be replaced once it's gone.

I think that a simple life is far underrated. If all I ever do is spend time with my family and friends, and make the world around me just a bit better in some small way, I feel like that's enough.
I would agree, assuming the patient workload is appropriate, I think it all depends on how busy the place is. I've chosen to do 24 hour ER shifts instead of 2 12-hour shifts in a place that would see about 1-1.25 patients per hour, mostly during the day so I would usually get 2-6 hours sleep overnight. But in a busier place, I would much rather work a 12, 10 or 8 hour shift as the intensity increases, say to 2-3 patients per hour. And the case mix also matters a lot, if you have a bunch of patients with coughs and colds, or minor injuries, you can see 4 an hour easily, if everyone is a demented nursing home patient or requires a translator, seeing 2 / hour might be crazy hard.
Practical Use of LDPC Erasure Codes for Distributed Storage Applications (2003)
It's a variation on "if you build it, they will come." This is a massive myth which is basically taught at school level (hard work leads to rewards).

It is -really- hard to fight this myth because it "seems right" and because it is pervasive amongst the educator sector.

Unfortunately, as a reply to the original question, I'd say "you cannot build a business based on the goodwill of another unrelated party. Consider this a cheap life lesson, and modify your strategy appropriately."

It's not __caused__ by FPTP, but yeah that certainly doesn't help. But I am glad that my excessive campaigning on this site for Approval/Star/cardinal systems has had some effect :) (Very happy to see ordinal systems not being suggested)

There's much more complexity to it all, but yeah, voting systems are important. The cardinal systems are just about better embedding preference while minimizing the capacity to hack. But they still assume rational voters. These cardinal systems may make strategic voting less effective, but they don't prevent them. A major benefit to be though is transparency, since it is easier to understand the tallying. Especially when it is (parallel) column sum and argmax. Much easier to understand than multi-round elections. (Could you imagine the Arizona recount with RCV...)

But again, you can build more representation and transparency into the system but it doesn't remove the human component. Where name recognition is a major predictor in winner. Where people are not investing time to vote. This takes a much larger cultural shift to have things like giving people time to research their candidates. But a single extra day off is probably just going to be used to catch up on all the more immediate issues we have. We're all constantly playing catch-up and truth of the matter is that politics is much more abstract than these things and so it gets de-prioritized. Voting systems won't fix that (obviously I still actively advocate for cardinal systems though. I'm a firm believer in addressing problems from the bottom up)
