If you're there for a while, you'll need to adapt anyway since your biorhythms will too. But there are plenty of other cases like a reminder to check something after dinner, or my standard wake-up alarm in the morning. Or if I plan to travel, book lunch at a nice place for 1pm, and put it in my calendar I just want it to be 1pm wherever I go, without caring about TZ changes.

Calendars, alarms, and reminders have some overlap here and floating time can be good for some cases.

No, you forgot about `buildctl` which compiles any language into systemd bytecode, that runs on the systemd VM. At long last, write once, run anywhere!
I guess I just dont understand where that assumption comes from. How is this or any tech layoff different? Builders and surgeons do suffer layoffs when they dont bring in more revenue than they cost.

There are tons of industries where jobs, projects, and labor demands are cyclic that dont resort to cynical employee sabotage.

I guess this is part of a greater pet-peeve where every time a layoff comes up the predominant sentiment is either: 1) that the workers are productive revenue generators and the company is stupid and less informed than random outsiders or 2) employment should not be contingent on the employer ROI.

In my opinion at least, jobs aren't guaranteed lifelong appointments. They are open ended contracts that either party can terminate any time. Termination from either side isn't a moral transgression in general, but I understand there can be some issues on the margin.

Im genuinely perplexed by others reactions and I think my post was an attempt to get at why so many people see it different
I was a huge fan before these came out. Bought a hardcover copy of the first book as soon as it was available. It was tedious. Every page smelled of self-indulgence.

Lesson learned: Always wait for the reviews. It stays in a prominent position on my bookshelf to remind me of that.

I remember seeing a picture of him, I think it was attached to an interview or maybe on a later books dust jacket, not long after. He was wearing a red velvet smoking jacket surrounded by ornate walnut furniture.

That picture stuck with me. It seemed so pompous and pretentious, exactly the vibe I got from that book. If any of his new books give me the same vibe, I simply don't bother.

> But it is not an ethical dilemma; it is a resource-allocation problem.

Sure, it's a resource-allocation problem, but _right now_ it is an ethical dilemma. None of what you're suggesting will suddenly make the problem gone in a year, hence why I called it hand-waving.

> Why are there a limited number of people who can maintain them and perform care on a long-term basis?

You're just asking the question "why aren't there more people working in the ICU?". Somehow I don't think this is a problem that would be solved in a year if someone just 'finally sat down and worked on it'.

As the the article points out, people are _already_ working on the issues you came up with, it just turns out they're actually hard problems to solve.
Hmm. 50-100W in Europe where electricity is often between 4 to 10 times of what is it is in the US this is a is BS comment.

That 50W-100W value in the UK for example will cost up to 220 GBP per year extra for a screensaver if it happens to keep a device on for 5 hours a day where the devices could have been switched off by the AppleTV power management, but can't because the this BS Screensaver prevents the AppleTV turning off.

There is a reason why Screensavers in Apps are against AppStore ToS.. Especially when they override the OS one and have ZERO user control.

You know there are a lot more people in the world outside the US, that have significantly higher living costs than in the US, that so called extra couple of bucks for you in the US, in the UK for example that is an extra 22 USD per month of waste by a feature you can't control and overrides settings you may have configured on your devices to save you money.
It’s very telling that you didn’t give an actual concrete example of how someone could get confused/misled, what that would look like, and what it’d result in. This is nothing more than a baseless whinge.
>> You mean aside from the anecdotal evidence from 35 years of being the son of a professional dance costumer (ballet, jazz, modern, and classical), and brother of another professional ballet costumer (ballet, jazz, modern, and classical)? And both have worked with a variety of very large and notable dance companies across the western US? Or about 17 years now observing the gender imbalance in dance schools that my sisters (and now daughters) attend. Or the entire fucking genre of media that clearly shows that gender imbalance (seriously, Billy Elliot's central conflict only makes sense in light of this very real and very sustained phenomenon)?

You don't have to be so stand-offish, I don't know who you are and who are your relatives, and I just asked if you had a reference. Like, has someone done a study on this? Is there data or just hear-say? Was my initial comment really so obnoxious, or do you think it impossible I really didn't know what I asked about?

Not everyone here is from the US, or from Anglophone cultures- I'm Greek and a lot of the gender-based nuances that are obvious to the Anglosphere are completely alien to me. To give you an example, you know the riddle about the man and his son who are in an accident and the son who survives is wheeled into the ER where the surgeon says "I can't operate on him, it's my son". Well, I had to have that one explained to me because I didn't get it. I didn't get why it was a riddle. Half of the doctors I've met in my life were women. On the other hand, every time I see Rishi Sunak visiting a car factory or something like that and he's standing next to a girl in a hard hat and overalls, well, that does strike me as weird; but not the locals (I live in the UK). These kinds of things are really not as identically distributed throughout the world as people tend to think.

So please try not to instantly presume bad faith, alright?
We work with customers with various workloads and some ways we help them scale:

1. Have a baseline amount of resources and use keda to scale up using spot instances.
2. For video call bots scale up during the calls and then scale down once the call is completed. Some of our customers can scale up to hundreds of machines during the day then scale down to a couple during the end of the business day.
3. Scale up for cronjobs that require a lot of resources but where the web traffic can use significantly less resources.

The way this actually works is that militarization occurs most heavily in geographically favorable parts of the border, so that the least surveilled parts are the most physically dangerous to cross. In this way, increased technological sophistication at the border increases the number of deaths in border crossings.

I looked it up. US Carriers were forced by the US government to start blacklisting them in the final months of 2012. They didn't do it voluntarily.

Australia had been doing it since 2003. IMEIs have been around for 30 years? Everyone having a cellphone is still a relatively recent phenomenon, but according to Pew 80% of American adults had cellphones for several years already before carriers were forced to deal with stolen ones.

1) I think a simple new kind of query hint could go a long way: Declare a table as being "infinitely large" from the perspective of the query planner.

So, if a query caused a full table scan or similar against the table, it's an error, regardless of the actual content.

A lot of "typical" backend code would then simply require you to make the right indices you need to support your queries, and the query planner would be forced to use those indices in all situations.

2) You can already sort of do what you say; that "higher level imperative language" is available simply by breaking your query up into smaller chunks.

At least in MS-SQL (which is what I know), simply do

declare @tmp1 as table (...)
insert into @tmp1 ...
declare @tmp2 as table (...)
insert into @tmp2 ... from @tmp1 join ...

and so on; if you make each of those steps small enough you pretty much have the imperative language.

3) That said, I think SQL is a wonderful idea, I am also super-productive in implementing business logic in it; but it is a horrible language; the learning curve is so much higher than it needs to be and so many silly pitfalls. So fully support pushes for better languages.

Except they’re legal drugs
The worst part is that the states are quite happy to help the feds enforce this. E.g. Hawaii has both mandatory gun registration and requires a state-issued license for medical marijuana. And if you happen to have both, well:

It should also be noted that while DEA is instructed by the executive to not go after cannabis users in states where it's legal for recreational use, there's no equivalent directive issued to ATF.
> There is no reason to continue the use of R-12 in inhalers when R-134a is a drop-in replacement, though you're welcome to do your own research if you still disagree with the legislation.

I disagree with that statement. As mentioned above if it causes the drug companies to be able to re-patent the same drug again at 20x the price, then it’s not a drop-in replacement.

If this is a propellant used in life-saving medicine and this regulation increased the price then it’s a bad regulation, period. If there’s already an exception to be used as a fire retardant then medical applications can be included in there as well. The immeasurable output from an inhaler isn’t going to damage the ozone layer.

Over time you can migrate the production to the newer chemical and still achieve the same effect without hiking the price, since the drug companies won’t charge 20x the price if the cheaper generic still exists.

Politicians unfortunately do this all the time where they create a regulation without going through an analysis of tangentially related cause and effect.
European here. I agree with lack of ambition, at least if were talking about averages and comparing to America.

But this, I'd like to know what you're talking about. I've lived in the US, the US gov is worse than the average EU government at least from the pov of a citizen having to interact with it. When people complain about EU institutions I wonder if they're just regurgitating talking points they've heard somewhere. And don't tell me about gov efficiency either - how many hundreds of billions does the Pentagon "misplace" every year?

I expect this to rise dramatically in Canada, Canadian tech salaries are a race to the bottom due to companies exploiting students for PR where they can advertise barely livable wages for something in the states that would get $150-250k.

> I wonder in actual business scenarios isn't the SQL fully known before an app goes into production? So couldn't it make sense to compile it all the way down?

You would hope, but no that's not reality. In reality most of the people "writing SQL" in a business scenario don't even know SQL, they're using an ORM like Hibernate, SQLAlchemy, or similar which is dynamically generating queries that likely subtly change every time the application on top changes.

Hey, I’m one of the founders of Clerky :) The most common approach is to put the state where you’re located. That said, the more certain you are that you’ll be moving, and the sooner that move will occur, the greater chance that you might want to put down either the state you’ll be moving to or else Delaware. For example, if you’re 100% sure you’re moving from State A soon, but have no idea where you’ll be long-term, Delaware could make sense. Delaware is sort of a default fallback that some startup attorneys use if no other state would be an obvious choice.

I was thinking of the only time in 3 decades of driving where speeding up made sense: I was on the 405 in LA and I was behind some guy who had a stack of mattresses poorly tied onto the back of a pickup truck. The top one flew surprisingly high up and I realized that the way it had caught the wind meant that if I braked it would land pretty close to me, so I went under instead and it landed a few car lengths behind me. At 45mph, in my early 20s, driving a sporty car that worked out but at 90mph I don’t think I’d have had time to process it quickly enough. I also note that this was once a long time ago where as I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been endangered by someone going much too fast or seen the aftermath (cars in buildings, upside down on the wrong side, etc.) so I would in a heartbeat take a world where the extreme speed outliers are gone.
Same has been true for me in the US over 35+ years. This has always been a stupid and false boogeyman narrative.

No.

I really don't believe it MUST be this way, and those requirements aren't at least partially arbitral.

Not just in watchmaking but in general I agree with this idea that the cheapness is in and of itself, a feature. Like, not only because you can afford it, but the fact that something is so inexpensive actually enhances my enjoyment of it, or rather, something being very expensive detracts from it. It's the same with, say, bicycles. Yeah, people can fork over $5k for a carbon fiber state of the art road bike, but then it weighs on you when you take it out. Don't want to lean it against anything, worried taking it downtown in case someone mugs you for it, can't leave it out to pop into the shop. You end up just not even having a good time, compared to a beater.

The kind of SoC that you would put into something like this often only has official support for Android, too. If you're making any kind of mobile thing then Android is almost certainly the path of least resistance nowadays.

Different people have different preferences. This is something I never see brought up in these debates. There is no definitive better option. This comment section demonstrates that.

Some people are motivated by a sure thing for less reward while others are motivated by risk and greater reward. In my view America caters to the risk takers while much of the EU caters to the play-it-safe crowd.

There’s nothing wrong with either approach. We need both types of people to keep a healthy and balanced world.

To /really/ extrapolate I’ve wondered the same about economic systems. Is this solution A vs. B or are some individuals motivated differently? If so, can we create a world where different motivation systems can peacefully interact?
The use of IPv6 in cellular devices is specified by RFC 7066. When a device first registers for a data connection, the network provides an interface identifier to use for the lifetime of the registration, which is guaranteed not to conflict with the one used by the router. The network also allocates a /64 prefix exclusively for use by the device. These two things allows the device to perform SLAAC for link-local and routable addresses without needing to do duplicate address detection.

It’s also worth mentioning SLAAC does not strictly require a hardware address to function. For example, Apple devices implement newer standards from IETF to generate random but stable addresses that don’t reveal information about the hardware addresses (https://support.apple.com/guide/security/ipv6-security-seccb...)
