I’m deployment global (multi-homes) serverless stacks, mainly. IAM, DynamoDB, S3, Lambda, Step Functions and the like. It’s a bit tougher to make this type of system work since there are a mix of models for the services (DDB Global Tables vs S3 Bucket Replication) so there are at least two templates per service: one for the “global” stuff like IAM roles and DDB, and a “regional” one for Lambda, SNS/SQS, EventBridge and the like which gets imprinted in each supported region.

I'll say this much: People problems are behind the majority of failures I've seen in my career. A project isn't delivered on time, and no one knew it was going poorly? People problem. A team spends three months building the wrong system, because they didn't work out the details with the right stakeholders? People problem. A critical person is fired, and the processes they manage predictably catch on fire a month later? People problem.

There is a category of problems that, I think, are mainly engineering problems (a few examples below.) You could argue that these, too, are people problems, because the team lacked experience and someone should have hired better engineers. However, given how difficult and unpredictable hiring is, I think it's better to treat questions of engineering design as primarily engineering problems, since that's a much easier problem to address. Some examples:

* An analytics system without tests that generated incorrect results silently.

* A project management system that ran out of memory when usage increased and couldn't be fixed without completely re-architecting it.

* An accounting system that wrote the same value in two places which frequently got out of sync.

I really like this article's suggestion to leverage plugins instead of custom code, and to look carefully at what _modern versions_ of your software (editor, shell, etc) have feature parity with.

This mirrors something I noticed recently when snooping on a friend's dotfiles repo. I have this unholy collection of things that make sure bash saves my history, my prompt Doesn't Suck, with helps git/etc/etc -- and it's a nightmare because I have yet to untangle it enough to post on github. In contrast, my coworker uses zshell, and uses a plugin for it that basically adds _nearly everything I might want_ out of the box, and as sensible defaults, so their config is much simpler and easier to get started.
Wow! What if Apple decided to stop operating in EU altogether ?
I second this, although i use `elpaca with use-package` instead:
https://github.com/progfolio/elpaca

It helps me keep the config consistent regardless of if something comes from MELPA, or bitbucket/github/gitlab etc.

- I also keep my config in README.org an github which shows the preview by default

- Org mode also helps me keep the commentary alongside. I can even just mark stuff as TODO, COMMENT with keyboard shortcuts. Infact if you read the source instead you'll find parts with COMMENT that don't render in the default preview on browser on Github.

- The git + github bits ofcourse help me use branches/PRs where i can test out stuff. Eg. most recently i was trying out lsp-bridge over eglot.

Here's my literate config: https://github.com/sidmitra/emacs.d

PS: Over time some bits have moved back to init.el to take precedence rather than everything in the org file.

You can't put aluminum in the microwave...

If you scan the item as you add them to the cart I don’t think it could be adjusted at checkout.

For an old fashioned scan-at-checkout it obviously can’t know what the price was when you added it to your cart, so presumably you risk finding it has a different price at the checkout than you saw at the shelf. Only way to avoid that (and probably the most common practice) is to change prices e.g only nightly.

Yes. There's a patchwork of state laws, and there are federal Coast Guard requirements that cover states without their own laws. Generally, children have to wear life jackets, and there needs to be one for every adult on board. Depending on the state, adults may be required to wear them on certain types of boats or when transiting over certain underwater features.

You originally asked about a program that you use (or would use?) written in Haskell. Someone brought up Pandoc, the swiss army knife of Markdown and similar formats, and every programmer uses Markdown in some capacity. Then you chose to fixate on the phrase “mass market” software, as if that was relevant to your original claim: a program that a programmer would use.

Which demonstrates my point. Someone with this attitude has already dug their heels in and made up their mind.
Pretty much that, remembering that you probably didn't have a microwave. Nobody bought a microwave just to get away from aluminum foil.

I hear you on the convection oven, but the real game changer for me was moving into a house with a double oven. The top oven heats very quickly but can fit a half sheet.

Rosetta 2 operates on the process level -- on an Apple Silicon system, a process can run an ARM executable and run all ARM code, or can run an x86_64 executable and run all x86_64 code. ARM64EC allows processes to run a mixture of native and emulated code. Whether this is actually useful is debatable, but the option exists.

Yes, in theory, any filesystem could trivially add a feature of "ref-counted immutable extents" — where a special syscall equivalent to `cat a b c > d` could be implemented that creates an inode d that consists of references to the existing extents of a+b+c.

(The shared extents have to be immutable, because on non-CoW filesystems, filesystem locks apply to "byte ranges of inodes", not to extents or slices thereof; so extents could only be safely shared between inodes if they forced the inodes referencing them to act as if they were always reader-locked.)

You could even implement this on e.g. Linux ext4 today — you could consider extents immutable if they're part of an immutable (chattr +i) file that has no additional hard links; and you could prevent any files that are "sharing" immutable extents from being made non-immutable (where in the above, the syscall would create a file that is immediately immutable.)

This would basically result in the same semantics + efficiencies that you get with "composite uploads" in an object store.

---

Given a CoW filesystem, you could probably extend this concept to allow arbitrary CoW blocks to be explicitly referenced from file A into file B without any need for immutability — it'd just be an explicit "partial" reflink. (This is already possible for the simple A->B case, by starting with a CoW clone, and then overwriting the blocks that shouldn't be shared. But more complex cases like A+B+C->D above, aren't possible; nor is having those shared blocks be in a different position in the clone than they are in the original; and so forth.)

It wouldn't quite work like you're imagining with sendfile(2), though, because the CoW sharing could only occur at filesystem-block boundaries. You still wouldn't be able to use partial reflinking to optimize the operation of e.g. adding three bytes of header to a file (unless you also added BLKSZ-3 bytes of padding.)
Any good apps for allotments management?
I hope you’re all doing well and enjoying your time in your allotments! I’ve been managing my allotment for a while now, and I’m looking to take things to the next level with some technology.

Does anyone know of a good app to manage allotments? Ideally, I’m looking for something that can integrate with sensors so I can remotely monitor conditions like soil moisture, temperature, and humidity. It would be great to get real-time updates on what’s going on with my plants, even when I’m not physically there.

I’ve heard there are some advanced solutions out there that can help with everything from planning and planting to tracking growth and managing irrigation systems. If anyone has experience with such a service or can recommend an app that fits the bill, I would really appreciate it!
> Boeing can't be seized because we have rule of law.

That only follows to the extent that there isn't currently a law saying that a corporation can be seized due to massive malfeasance. If we passed a law providing for that as a punishment (or if there's already one on the books that fits, that you and I just aren't aware of) in clearly defined circumstances (or as clearly defined as such things ever are), then there would be no problem; it's not like there's a Constitutional right to never lose your corporation.

No floatation devices are required for swimming.

The robots were a donation from a family that lost their daughter going out swimming two years ago.

https://www.wndu.com/2024/06/11/water-rescue-drones-donated-...

ST. JOSEPH, Mich. (WNDU) - Emily MacDonald and Kory Ernster were just 19 and 22 and on a family vacation when their lives were cut short at South Haven’s South Beach on Aug. 8, 2022.

Since then, their families have worked tirelessly for education and legislation related to water safety.

As a part of these efforts, the MacDonalds and the Ernsters donated two E.M.I.L.Y. rescue drones on Monday afternoon to lifeguard crews at St. Joseph and New Buffalo beaches.

“It’s just a coincidence that it’s named E.M.I.L.Y., and Emily was the beautiful girl that fell victim to drowning on that day, but it just works out to be a perfect tribute,” said Stephen Ernster, father of Kory.
I believe that cloudflare should at least have some kind of form where users can make their ip trustworthy. They can still be suspected for a period of time and in case there is another sign of malicious behaviour then they can get banned for even longer. Just ignoring them and throwing infinite amounts of redirects and captchas seems like a terrible experience for normal users.

btw, you writing has such a dismissing, arrogant and undermining tone that I would downvote you if I could.
If H Mart can open a larger store with bigger selection and better prices than a small independent store, then that's great. I don't know whether you mean there's shame in shopping at a chain or shame in not realizing it's a chain, but I promise that both are unnecessary.

That's a problem of uncontrolled mutability and lack of type signatures. It's a common problem in python, ryby, javascript, emacs lisp and many others.

Emacs can run Rust, and it could be solved in the future, but i don't know what's going on with the GPL license. Can one make a dynamic module and use for example the tokio library in emacs when tokio is not GPL?

I don't know how long you use another keyboard layout, but I would urge you to try qwerty for a week or two and you may be surprised how quick you can switch. I don't mean at full speed.

The odd pair swap (z/y) is not really big, but all the special characters were a bigger thing for me.

I agree with your statement, but as a broader statement about "fixing the problem", I think that we also shouldn't discount the importance of political capital as a resource that is necessary for solving the problem.

At a local level, where carbon emissions actually happen, there's a wide variety of support for varying technologies depending on where you're at. Sometimes this is an existing technology and sometimes it might be a new technology. Solar wouldn't be where it is today if it weren't for moonshot projects just a few decades ago.
The main problem I find is that the people who want you to build a technical system are unable to explain how the existing business system works.

The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) has a large amount of battery storage providing electricity during the evening peak. See https://www.gridstatus.io/live/caiso?date=2024-06-23

"Developers plan to add 6,813 MW of battery power storage capacity in CAISO's domain this year, dominated by four-hour lithium-ion resources, roughly double their additions in 2023"

IMHO, you have more of an obligation to pay for a license than they have an obligation to enforce payment through technical means.

>> It's crazy how much cheaper H Mart is for fish than something like Safeway in the bay area.

I go to Patel Brothers for stuff like cilantro. The costs are so low they seem free, the herbs are fresher, and the bunches are huge. Same story for other key items like Mangos.

However, it isnt the best for everything. I have just developed a mental hash-table of what to get from which store {HMart/etc vs ShopRite vs Trader Joes vs Costco}.
Is it okay for the flea market host to charge you a higher vendor fee on sunny days? What about if the day started cloudy, and then at noon it got sunny - would you be okay with paying a higher fee for the 2nd part of your day?
I really really don't see prices changing more than before the store opens. Anything beyond that just opens up a lot of trouble with the price changing between when you pickup the item and when you checkout.

It just feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen for minor at best gains.

Outside of that, I am surprised we have not seen this more places yet. It feels like this has been showing up at random stores for years and make a lot of sense.

Could you just not buy their products then?

While there are more consumer friendly ways to do it sure, I don’t see anything illegal or wrong here. You’re buying their hardware, with the software licensing understanding that comes with it - if you don’t like the terms you don’t buy the hardware.

There isn’t a moral calculus that is or needs to be involved here, it’s a simple flat “don’t buy their product if you don’t like it”. If enough people cared and did so, they’d change very quickly.

This is already a thing, at least in the US -- do you sign up for the "savers program" at your local grocery store? Generally this looks like filling out a form including your phone number to join it, and then inputting your phone number at the payment terminal in order to get various discounts advertised on the shelves. The "default price" is the one that people who are wealthy enough not to care about such savings will pay.
