Not OP but I see two points:

First there are some societal standards just settled. Universal healthcare as an example which is mentioned in the article, but also the broader spectrum of social democratic policies as mentioned in other comments. While that gives you some stability in society, it could be seen as “groupthink”

Second, there is a tendency to (informally) label right-leaning policies, libertarian ideas and patriotism as Nazism. That’s not a problem of the “far right” but also the “far left” as criticism on Israel’s current policies could be labeled antisemitic. The slippery slope here is that outlawing one thing (nazism) is socially accepted but assigning the label of what actually constitutes “nazism” is the actual problem.
I consider Kubernetes to be an excellent framework to build these kinds of applications. The difference here is Gitpod being stateful, which is notoriously hard on Kubernetes, though easier now than ever before!

To clarify on one of your points, Kubernetes itself has nothing to do with actually setting the security boundaries. It only providers a schema to describe resources and policies, and then an underlying system (perhaps Cilium for networking, or Kata Containers for micro VMs) can ensure that the resources created actually follow those schemas and policies.

For example, Neon have built https://github.com/neondatabase/autoscaling which manages Neon Instances with Kubernetes by running them with QEMU instead. This allows them to do live migrations and resource (de)allocation while the service is running, without having to replace Kubernetes. These workloads are, as far as I understand it, stateless.

> No serious historian of which i'm aware questions the existence of Jesus

I am not sure what makes Carrier a non-serious historian. He is trained in ancient history and applies conventional historical methodology to his studies (perhaps the only non-conventional addition is that he tries to add Bayesian statistics to it). He studies and cites the available primary sources. He researches and cites the available scholarly literature. He lays out his arguments both in his book (published under peer review, which he will be the first to inform his audience :-) and now in its second edition) and in various talks. He has participated in a number of debates, in which supposedly serious historians had a chance to demonstrate, with evidence, the error of his ways; yet, to my knowledge, none ever did. Bart Ehrman refuses to engage with him directly; so they resort to sniping at each other in their blogs or youtube appearances.

> But he's hardly the only radical eschatological/messianic jew to emerge from the period, and believing he was fabricated involves making even larger assumptions that there also isn't contemporaneous evidence for.

As Carrier would point out, Jesus wouldn't be the first figure thought to be historical, who, upon further scrutiny, would turn out to be fictional. Moses is one example of such a figure who was believed to have existed; yet, it seems that the consensus among modern historians is that he was an invention. Another example much closer to us is Ned Ludd, the supposed originator of the Luddite movement, whom many treated as historical (see e.g. Encyclopædia Britannica from 1911), yet who now, historians agree, was fictional.

Also, Carrier doesn't claim to have disproven the historicity of Jesus. What he is saying is that he thinks there is a pretty strong case to be made against it, and that he would give about a 60% chance to him being a myth.

"Nvidia claims it cannot control the final delivery location of its GPUs"

Unless Nvidia would be restricted from selling to anyone that is not under the same restrictions than they are, I'd say that is not just a claim but a thruth.

Btw. Don't these trade restrictions not just strengthen BRICS and accelerate their internal market development?
Many of these do not match my experience or knowledge

Crime: Berliner's tell me "don't put your backpack between your legs while sitting at a restaurant, someone will sneak up behind and steal it". I don't know where in the USA that kind of theft is common.

Washing: While I do have a dryer, my American apartment has a Whirlpool HG washer. It's quiet and spins the water out to the point I often feel I don't need the drier

Service: My experience has been if there's a problem that clearly the fault of the company the person you talk to will immediately not take responsibility "Not my fault". It might not be their personal fault but as a representative of the company they should take responsibility on behalf of the company IMO.

Dating: I've been told my many Germans that dating in Germany is more serious than is at least depicted in US movies/tv-shows. I don't have specifics except being told that it's not as casual.

Alcohol: Claims it's better in Europe but is making a generalization. Sweden you can only buy Alcohol from government stores. It's super expensive and they close early (3pm IIRC). So if you wanted some beers for party or a bottle of wine for dinner you're S.O.L. if you didn't buy on your lunch break.

Bread: Claims the choices are limited where as Germany claims to be the bread capital of the world with over 3000 kinds. I'm not saying I agree or disagree that Germany is the bread capital. Only that apparently the author is in a bread desert if their bread choices are limited.

I do _feel_ european, and I think that's the closest I actually self-identify in some way; but I would also never answer a question like "where are you from?" with "Europe" or something like this?

Feels pretentious, and not what the person is probably asking!
> I think one weird aspect of living in Europe, or at least Germany, is that all the stuff that US politicians told me were “too expensive” apparently aren’t!

If you look at the spending of the countries' governments, you partly can explain why these social services, health and public transport are considered better by the author.

One outlier worth mentioning is the big spend on "Defence" by the US. Of course, Europe benefits from that to in terms of protection in NATO.

One advantage of ereaders is that the fonts an be set to any size convenient for device and the person reading it.

A fixed pixel size image of something you want to read does not go well together with rendered text at all. It's okay for photos, but very definitely not for formulas, which are basically mostly text.

I'm not even talking about the aesthetics, different fonts because they too can be set by the user, and layout, since what's inside the image is fixed and untouchable by the renderer that handles all the rest of the text.
The funniest (?) thing to me about all this: we're still hoping, if we do things right, to replicate the technology (terminals) from 50 years ago.

I honestly don't understand why nobody has simply invented some software to solve this problem, after 50 years.
> I think money is not the main driver for those people.

I think you're forgetting the risk involved. To me, of course, it's the money because there are plenty of ways to get the satisfaction you're describing. It may not even be a crass need for money but people who live in poorer areas of the world taking a job and earning a cut as possibly the only worthwhile means of using their talent.

> amount of talent, knowledge and passion is wasted for a hack like this.

It's not as if worthwhile outlets for talent are easy to come by. It could be easier. The world we live in does not prioritize this outcome.

My father is from yorkshire and my mom is from texas. I've lived up and down the UK for 20 years, been all over europe and asia. One thing I've learned is that basically, america is not unique for this. The paradigm you are describing is between rural and metropolitan.

Metropolitan londoners move with culture at ease, and so do parisians, berliners, etc. But ask the opinion of a brit in benidorm and you will get similar confusion on local customs, a similar feeling that "the UK is the only place that exists, the rest of the world is a holiday spot". The provincial sort, people who live in small town or city, people who are not well travelled; their entire world view can be defined within a country.

And also, for the record, the school uniforms do still baffle me a bit. I tend to play UK apologist in the US and US apologist in the UK. So for full balance, the lack of electric kettles in the US also baffles me. Trust me, Brits who visit me in the US are just as vocal about their bafflement with the local customs as the inverse...

Right. An angel appeared. You going to need a whole lot better evidence to convince me of that, than a few ancient text that may or may not agree with each other.

>They also seemed to have difficulty in accepting new knowledge about the world unless it was said with an American accent. The most innocuous and well-known features of British (and Commonwealth) schools (uniforms, houses, pastoral care, terms, public examinations) not only surprised but also baffled them.

it has been my experience observing people from other cultures trying to understand anything about American culture is that the same phenomenon seems to pertain in that case - so perhaps it is just a common feature of humanity.

Albert Speer in his autobiography said that Hitler's inner circle were extremely uninformed about anything non-German, and that if you had been to some country for a vacation for a week one time you were considered an expert, this is something I've noticed with many people regarding places and assignment of expertise. I bring it up just to back up my theory that this is a common human thing, and not just an aspect of American culture.

I quite like PlantUML, even for add a simple diagram to an email discussion which has become to long.

My colleagues however like the idea but don't want to learn the syntax.

So I build a simple add-on to our internal mail system that, when invoked, scrapes the email and runs it against a fine tuned Llama 3.1 8b model which then generates a PlantUML diagram from natural language.

If the input isn't of an appropriate nature to be converted to a diagram or vague it will not do this.

What I have found is that now at least 50% of the team have used this feature once since go-live.

In many cases not all though, the immediately returned image is not 100% correct but there is a nice integrated way to edit and render which is now causing many to get familiar with the syntax whereas before they couldn't be bothered.

Overall it's been a nice, relatively cheap way to get GenAI to actually help us at work.

Berlin is weirdly very bad at bread, and I don’t know why. Even the fancy hip places are terrible.

Source: went from Paris to Amsterdam to Berlin to Warsaw this summer, and thought Paris (obviously) had the best bread, followed by Warsaw and Amsterdam, with Berlin way, way behind.
Another frustrating thing with ebooks is that you can't get them in PDF format any more. So much time is spent making a nicely fomatted hardcopy edition, then the ebook is only available as a terribly auto-converted epub that throws away all the layout and style. Particularly cookbooks, as well as anything technical, I just can't stand how lazy, ugly, and difficult to read the epubs are. All the tooling already exists to produce PDFs identical to the print version, but no, we can't have those.

I'm also an American working as a developer, but in The Netherlands. One thing that really surprised me (but maybe it's because it's right around the election) is how much time we spend during user groups talking about US politics. I even had a native Dutch person tell me "I heard in the US it is legal to do post birth abortions".

I think that ADHD people can be a perfect fit for one-man shows. But as there are less limiting factors than at a steady 9-to-5 job, things like burnout or procrastination could arise. It all depends on management and focus... and as the other comments say, if it is about products: Sales!

> Sweden you can only buy Alcohol from government stores. It's super expensive and they close early (3pm IIRC). So if you wanted some beers for party or a bottle of wine for dinner you're S.O.L. if you didn't buy on your lunch break.

I think the article makes the mistake of generalizing things that doesn't generalize across Europe, or even the EU. It's a common mistake among Americans to think of Europe as a very similar area and not wildly different countries. Germany and Sweden I'd say are much less similar than say Canada or the US in most respects. Not least when it comes to bureaucracy, the use of paper, formal titles etc. Completely different. Alcohol can be bought in store until 7pm or 8pm in Sweden (but closes earlier on Saturdays and is closed on Sundays). Weird rules are everywhere though. Americans don't tend to find it strange they can't drink in bars at 18, for example.

> Berliner's tell me "don't put your backpack between your legs while sitting at a restaurant, someone will sneak up behind and steal it".

I think this is more a representation of how cautious people are of a particular crime, than how common a particular crime is.
Hong Kong was set as an example how Taiwan can be integrated as a separate economy, separate government and separate everything as long as it is part of China. The reason why it happened in Hong Kong was that the political movement was out of control, you have some members of the parliament saying "fuck China" when they swear to service during the ceremony. It is more about how Hong Kong sees China, not how China sees Hong Kong. China would be very happy to see Hong Kong works in the two system model. How China is thinking now is that, giving Hong Kong the freedom to operate does not work, the same apply to Taiwan. Most Chinese people have negative views on politicians, the multiparty democracy system in Taiwan is not seen as a positive thing to be honest.
Everything else about flying sucks though. You have to waste hours before and after because the airport is far away, security, waiting for your luggage (which gets lost more often now it seems), go through the dehumanizing security checks, put all your things in a transparent little bag, no your toothpaste is too big and might blow the plane up leave it behind, there are regular delays, shit food, ridiculous luggage allowance (size, count, weight), you get nickeled and dîmes on anything possible…

I’ll take the train over the plane any day. Just show up, board the train, put your luggage in the rack, done. Leave from the city center and arrive in the city center. There is legroom. You can walk around. Bring your own whatever you want however big you want it. It just doesn’t compare for me.

Edit to add: taking the train in Europe that is. Idk about NA.
I am pretty sure we all know the web app you're talking about. It's gaining traction, but because of the direct nature of it, I don't see it becoming as big as Grindr. With regards to Scruff, I agree, and I'm not sure why it hasn't gotten the same attention as the former. Maybe the type of people it tries to attract?

I still think, if there was an app that was completely free, and optimized for cost reduction with very unobtrusive ads, it could get somewhere. Right now the pricing levels are atrocious, and there's a scratch for the people to stop using it because of it, in addition to hostile UX.
I understand that, I guess you can't make everyone happy at the same time :)

For me the issue is that those same shops are usually open 10:00 to 17:30 or so. Which is also the time I work, which means I was forced to go on Saturdays (like most other people). If I had other plans for Saturday, tough luck.

Hey, if you feel more American, that's fine! My point was just that staying outside of Europe makes you realize that all these EU countries have much more in common than people think and that divisions between countries in the EU are largely artificial (and hyped/inflated by politicians, who want to preserve their seats and power).
> there exists a certain class of well-off, well-traveled people that indeed thinks of themselves as being more European than [nationality], and they tend to be centered in the Netherlands, Belgium

Sure, but they want to rely on TSMC now so they don't fall behind in high tech in 2024/2025. Getting their own EUV tech is still many years away.

Your idea of decent might be a bit off...

That's not to say that buying in Germany is absurdly difficult and expensive. It absolutely is. But if you think 4k net doesn't make you well off in average Germany you're really extremely bubbled.

You won't be buying in downtown Munich, but that's very far from average Germany, and you could definitely be buying within half an hour of decent public transport to downtown munich.

Another one I had when starting was to underestimate the power of the GPU. I really needed to increase the size of my toy problems to actually see the benefits of using a GPU.

For data transfers, my experience is that you rather quickly hit that bottleneck, and it's a tough one. And it's not proportional to the number of transferred bits: transferring one byte naively can be extremely costly (like half the performance, I'm not joking)
I'm a little consfused what point you are trying to make with those numbers. I don't get how comparing the nation budget of the USFS against homes in California on fire zones is an argument for anything.

California spends a roughly an order of magnitude more per acre they are responsible for, when compared with the USFS so I don't think underspending by California is the issue here. The problem seems to be the lack of authority for CalFire to manage fire risk on federal land.

It’s actually that large organizations operate on people with average skill, and there is a significant inefficiencies as organizations grow.

So yes, 10 skilled people could run a site that large (and do). But you can’t run a company to recruit and manage that team over decades. “Well just find 10 smart and motivated people who work well together and can be given autonomy to do the right thing and hope they give us what we want” is not an actionable management plan.
