USC: Chemicals Found in Cookware/Food Packaging/Cosmetics Could Be Ruining Sleep
I mean effectively you could. Do something like the following:

Take a subscription product that costs $10/mo right now as an example.

Let's say you want a license that lasts your whole life.

Estimate the time you have remaining in your life. Let's call it 50 years.

Now you can use an interest calculator to see how much it would cost to effectively buy a license until the end of your life.

Plug in $10/mo contribution, plus 4% annual interest to cover inflation and price increases, for an investment length of 50 years.

So you can effectively buy an "eternal" license for $18,714.61

>The only reason for this port placement is a marketing and anti-consumer one - to prevent people using mouse permanently plugged in.

I think you are reading way too much into this. That is likely not the reason.

The previous iteration of the Magic Mouse, which is actually quite old and created in the Steve Jobs era, was basically identical to the current one, but took AA batteries and had a door in the same spot underneath the mouse. When they decided to make the thing rechargeable, that was likely the easiest/least costly/most obvious spot to put the new battery and charging apparatus without changing any other parts of the mouse. You can bet accessories division is not the most resourced/staffed part of hardware engineering at Apple, so they would have to make do with whatever they are given. The calculus must have been "is this going to cause an issue for the user?" and as the charging is not frequent they decided to go with it. I am fairly confident their product has decent/good customer satisfaction rating, as is, and they have not received many complaints from the real user in this long time, just loud people in the news/social media. If not, it likely would have been fixed by now.

I think the reasoning for DRY was kind of lost in translation.

“any time you have to copy paste, look for an opportunity to abstract” assumes that having an abstraction is always better, but I don't think that is the case.

In my opinion the reasoning as to why "code duplication is a code smell" is that if you have to copy and paste code around you are probably missing an useful abstraction for your code. And I think "useful" is the most important thing to keep in mind.

Sure, every time I copy and paste code I know that exist an abstraction I could create to eliminate this duplication. Generally this is pretty easy. The hard part is to understand when this new abstraction will help you to deliver the features the business need.
There have been people who wanted much more protectionism from Japanese autos since the 1970s, esp. since they demonstrated they make great cars for less money and detroit wasn't really interested in trying too hard.

History looked like it was going to repeat with EVs from the US except for Tesla. Now GM has some decent cars across a variety of models, Ford has 2. But neither company has put out any really low priced cars yet (you know, like under 30). Tesla (lead by darth vader) is the only hope for the near future of low priced cars. I think ford and gm will get there eventually. But it could be too late if imports can just come in.

No one thinks about "eventually." That's a long time and may never happen to them. "Now" is more important.
That's a great point.

In the end, other engineering areas also have lots of "it depends" situations, where often there are multiple correct answers, depending on availability, legislation, safety, physical constraints, etc.

Perhaps in software engineering people are just too quick or immature to judge.

I just watched Patlabor 2 last night, about a civil war in post-Cold War Japan. The main theme is the following: The thing about one-in-a-million events is that they are eventually going to happen once the other 999,999 occur. Thus a government which does not plan for one-in-a-million scenarios is truly derelict and incapable of survival.
>The type parameter should be one of two common socket types: stream or datagram.[10] A third socket type is available for experimental design: raw.

I don't claim to be an expert, I just have a certain confidence that I'm able to comprehend words I read. It seems you can have 3 types of sockets, raw, udp, or tcp.

This matches my experience, though sometimes they indeed will be helpful, at least after some consideration.

> If someone quotes a best practice to you and can't cite a convincing "why", you should immediately reject it.

In certain environments this will get you labeled someone who doesn't want to create quality software, because obviously best practices will lead to good code and not wanting to follow those practices or questioning them means that you don't have enough experience or something. Ergo, you should just apply SOLID and DRY everywhere, even if it becomes more or less a cargo cult. Not that I agree with the idea, but that way of thinking is prevalent.

Wow, thanks for the nice note! No questions are silly, and I'll also note that we now have a docs site (https://docs.regattastorage.com) and feel free to email me (hleath [at] regattastorage.com) if I don't fully address your questions.

> If I had a local disk which was 10 GB, what happens when I try to contend with data in the 50 GB range (as in, more that could be cached locally?) Would I immediately see degradation, or thrashing, at the 10 GB mark?

We don't actually do caching on your instance's disk. Instead, data is cached in the Linux page cache (in memory) like a regular hard drive, and Regatta provides a durable, shared cache that automatically expands with the working set size of your application. For example, if you were trying to work with data in the 50 GiB range, Regatta would automatically cache all 50 GiB -- allowing you to access it with sub-millisecond latency.

> Does this only work in practice on AWS instances? As in, I could run it on a different cloud, but in practice we only really get fast speeds due to running everything within AWS?

For now, yes -- the speed is highly dependent on latency -- which is highly dependent on distance between your instance and Regatta. Today, we are only in AWS, but we are looking to launch in other clouds by the end of the year. Shoot me an email if there's somewhere specifically that you're interested in.

> I've always had trouble with FUSE in different kinds of docker environments. And it looks like you're using both FUSE and NFS mounts. How does all of that work?

There are a couple of different questions bundled together in this. Today, Regatta exposes an NFSv3 file system that you can mount. We are working on a new protocol which will be mounted via FUSE. However, in Docker environments, we also provide a CSI driver (for use with K8s) and a Docker volume plugin (for use with just Docker) that handles the mounting for you. We haven't released these publicly yet, so shoot me an email if you want early access.

> Is the idea that I could literally run Clickhouse or Postgres with a regatta volume as the backing store?

Yes, you should be able to run a database on Regatta.

> I have to ask - how do you think about open source here?

We are in the process of open sourcing all of the client code (CSI driver, mount helper, FUSE), but we don't have plans currently to open source the server code. We see the value of Regatta in managing the infrastructure so you don't have to, and if we release it via open-source, it would be difficult to run on your own.

> Can I mount on multiple servers? What are the limits there? (ie, a lambda function.)

Yes, you can mount on multiple servers simultaneously! We haven't specifically stress-tested the number of clients we support, but we should be good for O(100s) of mounts. Unfortunately, AWS locks down Lambda so we can't mount arbitrary file systems in that environment specifically.

> efs performance

Yes, the challenge here is specifically around the semantics of NFS itself and the latency of the EFS service. We think we have a path to solving both of these in the next month or two.

Taking one single family home solar does not provide a measurable environmental impact in aggregate.

OP doesn't have to pay the electric bill anymore, but the average residential solar install exceeds $30k before credits. Someone has to pay off that loan...

Not to mention the Chinese factory that manufactured the solar panels is probably dumping toxic waste chemicals into the local drinking water unabated. We're all too busy patting ourselves on the back for saving the world to consider the impact of the whole lifecycle.
The thing is, we paid $50,000 to drive a brand new, mid trim line kia 99kwh ev9 off the lot. It supposedly will also support V2H with an upcoming update.

GNU radio is an awesome signal processing toolkit. You can use it to take signals from a cheap RTLsdr, or even a microphone, and make new virtual instruments, radios, etc. Long ago I was interested in aircraft navigation aids, and was able to throw together a receiver for the local VOR transmitter, which showed me on screen where I was relative to the transmitter.

> he system can't recover from an error in an individual flight plan, bringing the whole system down with it

From the system's POV maybe this is the right way to resolve the problem. Could masking the failure by obscuring this flight's waypoint problem have resulted in a potentially conflicting flight not being tracked among other flights? If so, maybe it's truly urgent enough to bring down the system and force the humans to resolve the discrepancy.

The systems outside of the scope of this one failed to preserve a uniqueness guarantee that was depended on by this system. Was that dependency correctly identified as one that was the job of System X and not System Y?
Congrats on the launch!

Could a Regatta filesystem offer any advantage over ClickHouse's built-in S3 and local disk caching features in terms of cost or performance?
> Since the local power company here is only paying 10 cents per kw for solar power (which they resell at greater profit)

I think this is a common reason for disappointment in solar incentives. At least half of your power bill pays for transmission, and the half that pays for generation needs to be constructed such that the overall supply must meet the demand at all times, rather than simply supplying a number of kWh per day regardless of instantaneous demand. You can’t consider the “price” per kWh that you pay commercially to be the value of supplying a kWh to the grid, it’s much more likely that the utility is making a (subsidized) loss paying you 10c per solar kWh.

Hello I am the author and that was indeed a mistake. Whoops!
This feels, intuitively, like it would be very hard to make crash consistent (given the durable caching layer in between the client and S3). How are you approaching that?
