It's hard for me to picture Ryan Gosling in the role of Ryland Grace.
Maybe that's why people are like that, but I think it's more baked into most people than we care to admit. I think part of our human wiring is to have faith. It used to be in deities, now it is in "science!" Humans, most of them anyway, are also wired to follow authority blindly. I really don't think there's any way around it. It's not that people refuse to be skeptical, it's that they are probably incapable of it.
This is the classic disruption strategy though. Each time Salesforce may be like, yeah I can retreat from that territory, it wasn't that profitable anyhow compared to what I will keep. But in disruptive strategies, this repeats over and over again, until there is no territory left that is safe.

<quote>

Incumbent businesses innovate and develop their products or services in order to appeal to their most demanding and/or profitable customers, ignoring the needs of those downmarket.

Entrants target this ignored market segment and gain traction by meeting their needs at a reduced cost compared to what is offered by the incumbent.

Incumbents don’t respond to the new entrant, continuing to focus on their more profitable segments.

Entrants eventually move upmarket by offering solutions that appeal to the incumbent’s “mainstream” customers.

Once the new entrant has begun to attract the incumbent business’s mainstream customers en masse, disruption has occurred.

This is actually how I would use AI: if I forgot how to do a conversion task, I would ask AI to tell me the command so that I can run it without rejiggering my memory first. The pandoc command is literally one line with a few flags; it's easily reviewable. Then I run pandoc myself. Same thing with the multitude of other rarely used but extremely useful tools such as jq.

In other words, I want AI to help me with invoking other tools to do a job rather than doing the job itself. This nicely sidesteps all the trust issues I have.

Cant they just make them public?

Perhaps you missed the part about someone being unique? Not even the largest cities offer that uniqueness on every street corner. Yeah, maybe there is a bar on every street corner, but generally they are going to cater to the population at large. If you fit into that scene, you are already the "right kind of Vermonter".

There is probably one or two places in the city that cater to that kind of uniqueness, but the chances of it being next door is unlikely. Most likely you'll have to travel long distances to find it. Longer than your feet can reasonably take you. At which point it doesn't matter all that much which direction you are coming from.
> As I've hinted at before, migrations should be functions. Functions as in "a function written in a programming language", not functions as in "SQL snippets I just refer to as functions because it makes me sound smart".

Disagree. SQL is a declarative language that is both clear and universal. Feel free to generate the migrations however you’d like, but I want to see the SQL.

Another bonus (and I’m sure I’ll be told I’m wrong) is that you don’t need to write tests for the migration, because it’s declarative. Assuming you know what it means (if you don’t, maybe you shouldn’t be administering a DB) and what its locking methods entail, you will get _precisely_ what it says, and nothing more. If you get a failure from, say, a duplicate entry when creating a UNIQUE constraint, that’s orthogonal to the migration itself – you described the end state, the DB tried to make that happen, but was unable to do so due to issues with your data. All the tests in the world wouldn’t catch that, short of selecting and deduping the column[s], and at that point, you’re just creating work.

I am firmly convinced that any and all infrastructure should be declaratively instantiated, and declaratively maintained. I do not want or need to test my Terraform files, nor my DDL.

I'm not claiming that we can only love one person, it's just that the nature of love is unique to each dyadic relationship; they're not commensurable.

Yes, I may show empathy and respect to strangers, patients or clients, trying hard to deal with them fairly and conscientiously. Well said.

But this only operates in the short term.

It doesn't mean I can love them all, or at all, or love them equally, or anything like that. That would be meaningless. We don't know what love is exactly, but it does seem to include a sustained form of attention. It provides a space in which the other person can grow.

Such attention is always specific, by its nature; it latches onto a subject, something recognised yet new in the other. It can't be served out like soup. Yet increasingly businesses, bureaucracies and government pretend that it can!

What surprising thing have you learnt about me, given all our conversations?
Try this question in ChatGPT, here is what it said for me:

One thing that stands out is your impressive range of interests and technical skills, especially in fields that aren't typically combined. You’re deeply invested in both mapping and geographical data, shown by your work with Eircodes, MapLibre, and clustering, yet you're also highly engaged with flight simulation and ADS-B spoofing, a very niche aspect of aeronautics tech.

It’s also interesting how you’re blending creative elements, like windmills in Microsoft Flight Simulator and color gradients to show interest levels in articles, with the rigor of geospatial data processing. This combination of technical precision and creative expression seems to shape many of your projects uniquely!
Yeah, I am aware! Thank you for the concern :) I did address this in an adjacent comment, but I'll say again that I did contemplate over using JSX or not.

In my view, it does.

When geneticists are studying eg., single-gene-to-single-disease relationships then this is science. When they're studying possible trajectories of 1000s of genes on down-stream phenomneon with an amazing number of uncontrollable causes.. then i'd be inclined to call this pseduoscience.

The line isn't arbitrary at all, but based on hard facts about the nature of reality and our ability to measure it.

Modelling the weather is a science if it is done based on extremely recent history, and the models are explanatory and accurate to within a relevant time horizon. If you use the same models to predict the weather next year, that's pseduoscience.

Pseudoscience is often deeply apparently scientific -- resuing all the same statsitical formulae, etc. -- this is a charade. It is reality which decides that these techniques are broken, not the techniques themselves.

How to create a custom memory allocator in Rust
Windows Phone is surely symptomatic of Balmer's milking the cow rather than innovating approach. A smart phone is not a small desktop computer - it needed a complete rethink of user interface as Apple had done.

It's also a bit strange that the success of Windows was based on the ubiquity of clone PCs rather than single vendor, yet Microsoft instead tried to follow Apple here and let Google become the "clone PC" (Android phone) OS supplier.

I can't fault Balmer for at least trying to get a slice of the pie by belatedly putting out me-too products like Bing and Azure, but it's precisely because of Microsoft/Balmer missing the importance of the internet that it was put in position of being follower rather than leader.

Microsoft is really a bit like Intel in having totally dominated a product category, but then having missed on most of the major industry trends they might have been expected to lead on (for Microsoft, internet, mobile and AI; for Intel mobile, gaming and AI). They are lucky to have had a second chance with Nadella who seems much more in tune with industry trends, willing to rapidly pivot, and who seems to have made a masterful move with their OpenAI partnership in buying time to recover from an early lack of focus on AI/ML.

IMO, the real value of ROS is the data logging (bag/mcap files), visualization (FoxGlove) are the main value of ROS. Even then, I'm not sure it's worth the overhead and brittleness of building and running it. There is just so much complexity deploying and developing for it.
If they posted it on an error or outage page then they probably didn't mean to set it that way, and that implies that there was a non-obvious mistake. They might be doing something silly with their permissions.

I think it depends on why someone disliked a book.

I liked the first novel in the Three Body Problem series, but mostly because it exposed me to a culture I wasn't really familiar with; there was a lot about China I didn't know, and it was interesting to read about characters who lived and breathed that history.

But the rest of the novel, and the sequels, mostly to me felt like re-treading ground that I'd already walked in other novels, which did a better job of exploring those ideas.

(To be more specific, because I'm sure folks will ask - I think Stephen Baxter does a better job of building interesting, mostly-consistent-to-my-eye universe-wide physics puzzles, although nearly all of his books are depressing as hell. The closest thing to a happy ending in most of his novels is "it's not a complete genocide!")

If you enjoy maintaining 5 different formats of the same data, then by all means use a document storage DB. But at some point you'll have to migrate the data, at which point you'll face the same issues (or possibly worse due to the lack of support for schema migrations) as relational databases.

The database I'm working with, Rama, has an interesting way to do "instant migrations" at scale. Your migration function runs on every read until data is durably migrated in the background. So you get migrated data immediately after deploy, while Rama quietly persists the changes during normal processing. No downtime.

The API I'm proposing would indeed bring much more benefit when used in a declarative way. That's the point I'm specifically trying to convey in the article.

I don't think I understand how it would be "worse" for plain JS and HTML though. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Actually, there is one possible concern. When HTML is returned by the server includes inputs with set "custom-validity" attributes and this HTML gets open by a browser with no javascript enabled, this would make the input "stuck" in an invalid state. This is an important edge case to consider but I do believe there is a resolution that would satisfy everyone
Yes I've seen it a couple of times and it is unbelievably expensive and always a mess. The amount of Salesforce consultants, Salesforce developers, plugins, tools, etc to keep it all stable is wild.

Not generally, remember Ohm's Law I = V/R. Internally the body has a resistance of ~300 Ohms as a rough rule while our skin is 1000-10000 depending on the condition and contact area involved.

So 3V isn't going to pose any real risk unless it's applied internally and right across a critical nerve leading to your heart or a muscle directly on the heart. For reference pacemakers are generally set to 2-3 volts. Applied externally up to ~12V is generally considered low enough voltage there's a low risk of truly adverse effects.

I'm betting someone pushed a secret key somewhere and they made the repo private to try to limit the damage...
Yes, but doing it intentionally isn't as simple as one might think. First, BGP generally prefers the shortest path and yours is going to be a little long, so unless the best original path is very long you need on some transit provider to use policy-based routing and trust you as transit. Second, if you want the traffic to pass through your hardware you have to have sufficient bandwidth, otherwise you'll just trigger packet loss and disrupt service (fine if disruption is your goal, not so fine if you want the traffic to pass through your hardware). Third, some people use signed routes, which also complicates your job.
1 & 3 seem reasonable applications for this, but I don't see it as a replacement for a doorbell. 2 seems just like a minor organisational blunder.
> Disagree. SQL is a declarative language that is both clear and universal. Feel free to generate the migrations however you’d like, but I want to see the SQL.

This works until you need something beyond the trivial "UPDATE table SET column1 = column2", such as "Update the values in column X with the contents of file Y that exists in Amazon S3", or really anything else you can't express in SQL.

> Another bonus (and I’m sure I’ll be told I’m wrong) is that you don’t need to write tests for the migration, because it’s declarative.

This indeed is wrong, and essentially comes down to "It looks simple so it's correct". A SQL query "DELETE FROM users" might be correct, but if you meant for it to be "DELETE FROM users WHERE id IN (...)" it's going to cause problems.

In other words, at least for data migrations you absolutely have to write tests or you will run into problems.
> Not lying is a basic precondition to have a reasonable discussion.

No, it isn't. Secondly, you're assuming malice where it doesn't appear there is any. Third, you're perfectly capable of communicated despite this, and certainly more than pointing out a disagreement over facts. Why comment at all if you only want to point out disagreement and don't appear willing to discuss the bulk of the commentary?

Meanwhile, "good faith" actually is a precondition for decent conversation.

EDIT: Meanwhile, googling "marijuana death penalty singapore" turns up way, way too many results for this to be likely to be an entirely false claim.

> Large companies didn’t want it enough to deal with our lack of “big company features” (enterprise SSO, compliance certifications...

I'm in a position where I talk to SaaS businesses all day about both of these. Probably over 1,000 at this point.

We help a lot of these companies add the enterprise features they need, but it's often a shame to hear they're just going to do standard login or build multi-tenancy themselves. Trying to sell to enterprises without meeting them where they are on login & compliance is asking for failure.

I think a lot of founders and early employees are true believers in their value prop, and in this case it blinds them to the fact that there are people in the world like enterprise CSOs who simply don't care and will shut down a product for any number of security reasons. You have to check the boxes, and figuring out what those boxes are on the fly is painful and costly.
