> As far as I've heard, Haskell's type system doesn't normally prove functions to be total; they can diverge.

This is true. You can write a function which is the natural numbers, and I wouldn't want the type system to preclude it.

nats :: [Integer]
nats = [1..]

However, I would love to be able to opt in to declaring functions total on a case-by-case basis, like Idris can.

> This fine, though, because for ordinary programming, a proof of totality isn't a useful guarantee. You care how long programs actually take to run, not whether they would theoretically finish eventually.

This wouldn't be the point of the guarantee for me. Haskell functions already give you assurances that you've not made any mistakes:

* You haven't accidentally introduced null, or missed any null checks.
* You haven't written code which will do a different thing tomorrow than it did today.
* Your function won't race, nor will it cause other functions to race.

If you have a function Foo->Bar, and you give it a Foo, you've all-but-proved that you'll get a valid Bar back. How can you screw that up? By diverging. I'm not trying to put a bound on a long-running function, I just want the type system to make sure the function isn't sucking on its own tailpipe.

You get an aligned infra layer. You get a great opensource ecosystem (k8s, argocd, git / gitops, helm, helm charts, grafana, prometheus etc.)

You get basic loadbalancing, health checks, centralized and nearly out of the box logging and monitoring and tracing.

You get a streamlined build process (create a container image, have an image build, create your helm chart, done)

Your RAID commment is quite far away of what k8s makes k8s

Does the tech lead have the CTO or CEO's graces for that decision?

Why did the tech lead decide to move everything to lambda when you only have 1k DAU? Can they be reasoned with or is it lambda or the highway?

You can pull put the stats and do comparison, note the wasted time, how it's not beneficial but rather detrimental. Note how long it now takes to debug for such a small codebase, then extrapolate that out.

Having tons of lambdas is a massive pain in terms of debugging. Cloud watch is not that great to debug, and the debug tooling tends to be rather expensive, like data dog so not too much is invested. Or it's too resource intensive to setup open telemetry.

TLDR: I'm not too good with the infrastucture (and this couple of teams also), so you should also go on steam engines.

Of cource it highly depends on the skills of the team. In a startup there could be no time to learn how to do infrastructure well. But having an infrastructure expert in the team can significantly improve the time to market and reduce the developer burnout and the tech debt growth rate.
Better in niche areas doesn't mean its going to get more use.

Everyone was super hyped about all the "cool" stuff that GPT4 could solve, but in the end, you still can't do things like give it a bunch of requirements for a website, let it run, and get a full codebase back, even though that is well within its capabilities. You have to spend time with prompting in to get it to give you what you want, and in a lot of cases, you are better off just typing the code yourself (because you can visualize the entire project in your head and make the right decisions about how to structure stuff), and using it for small code generations.

This model is not going to radically change that. It will be able to give you some answers that you had to specifically manually prompt before automatically, but there is no advanced reasoning going on.

> When I last looked into Lean, I was highly unimpressed, even for doing math proofs.

I remember exploring different proof assistants for the first time in the 2000s. Back then, only people with a background in logic were involved, and most of the proofs that were formalized as showcases were of textbook results from the 19th century at most, or some combinatorial stuff like the four-color theorem.

I believe Voevodsky was one of the first prominent non-logicians to become interested in proof assistants, using Coq around 2010. Nowadays, several mathematicians coming from algebraic geometry, number theory, etc. are promoting formal proofs, and it seems like most of them have chosen Lean. I don't know whether this is because Lean is somehow better suited for working mathematicians, or if it was simply a random personal preference among people who got enthusiastic about this stuff and started advertising it to their colleagues?

I am not familiar with every proof assistant out there, but many of them are a very hard sell for mathematicians and lack a comprehensive math library. Lean seems to be one of the few exceptions.
That’s not weird at all, it’s how LLMs work. They statistically arrive at an answer. You can ask it the same question twice in a row in different windows and get opposite answers. That’s completely normal and expected, and also why you can never be sure if you can trust an answer.

> Zig is, right now, being used for high-assurance systems

I'm not convinced this is telling us very much. I was talking about software that, e.g., causes deaths when it fails. But regardless of what level of assurance one looks at, most "high assurance" systems continue to be built using C. The very few that use Zig surely chose it primarily due to compatibility with C, with the hope that it's safer than C (a low bar). Maybe in some cases also a wish to play around with new toys played a role in the decision, though in "important applicatios" I'd like to hope that's rare.

In the end, we'd have to look at harm done due to bugs. For C, I'd say the record is abysmal. For Zig, it's way to early to look at this.

My judgement above is mostly based on Zig not making it at all hard to violate memory safety and the analogy with C. Needless to say, Zig is better than C in this respect and that's a good thing. If your argument is something like "memory safety doesn't really matter, even for critical applications", we'll just not agree on this.
>Yeah I’m sure that was the union’s fault, and not pressure from management to work quickly, cut corners, and akip on quality.

It's definitely an interesting solution to a very similar problem I was looking at a few years ago - how to take on external investment in a co-operative company.

I'm not in the US, so I can't comment on the options for Nebula, but where I live coops are a specific type of legal company which would encompass what Nebula want - a company where profit is divided between members in proportion to their contribution. As part of that the only owners allowed are contributors, and the only people who can receive a profit share are the owners. If you want to stop contributing you have to stop owning, and there's no value to the shares.

So you can't take on equity funding, only debt.

This structure seems to be made to work around that, structuring it like a regular stock company but with a sale trap to make it unappealing to sell for a quick return.
I found that brass wool works better at keeping tips tinned. A sponge removes all the solder and you have to quickly tin the tip immediately after wiping, otherwise it oxidizes. Wiping with brass wool leaves a thin layer of solder on the tip.

Also keeping the tip at moderate temperature range helps avoid oxidation - most manufacturers recommend to never exceed 400 C. JBC recommends to not exceed 370 C.

Hope this helps.

That, and a bit of embarrassment isn't really all that bad. The problem is that the leaked stuff keeps on circulating :-(

I have a pet theory that seeing more "real" people in the nude is good for your body image. There's a lot less nudity than there was 30 years ago (from movies to locker rooms and everything in between), there's a lot more shame, and everyone is wistfully staring at Instagram garbage.

> Universal subsidies of healthcare or electricity come at a net cost for the country, and so doesn't create a competitive advantage. (It will lead to higher taxes that offset the benefit of specific reduced costs).

But it doesn't lead to higher taxes, because the whole point is to use the minimum tax rate and then achieve a de facto below-minimum rate by somehow refunding the excess money.

They're not trying to attract only Apple, they're trying to attract businesses in general. Subsidies for things employers would otherwise have to provide apply to all employers and lower the de facto tax rate across the whole country, which is exactly the idea.

> Target subsidies are different. While countries can still get away with it if done on a small scale, large scale cases come with a risk of this kind of response.

"Targeted" is essentially undefinable. All allocation of tax money is targeted at something -- the untargeted thing would be to use the money to uniformly lower the tax rate.
If the editorial board and these ultra-wealthy people want to stay on the good side of the news guild that all of their journalists are members of, then they have to be pro-union. They have to accept the very premise on which the laws that advantage unions were passed, which forces the employer to engage in collective bargaining with the union to the exclusion of all other parties.

The pressure for the management at news media companies to pander to unions on these issues is enormous and inescapable.

That's not a joke. Go is a fast compiled language, and Go programs are self-contained executables. So you don't need containers. FCGI is an orchestration system, like Kubernetes. It's single-machine, but will start up and shut down processes as the load changes. A crashed process will be restarted. Host the web pages on a static page server, and use client-side Javascript for any dynamic stuff. Good for maybe 20-100 transactions per second. The database will be the bottleneck.

Boring, but useful.

Interpreting "healthy" as "healthy ecosystem" doesn't really make sense in the context of an initiative focused on people being able to swim.
