Your experience is not typical. Starlink has been working flawlessly for me for the last few years. It revolutionized Internet access in my remote area. HughesNet was the only game in town with speeds under 3Mbps and 10GB monthly data cap. Now everyone has Starlink with over 100 Mbps speeds. Never heard of issues.
Imagine butthurt of US hawks if this were China or Russia based product, think about American Exceptionalism.
I highly recommend the O'Reilly SQL Pocket Guide (https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/sql-pocket-guide/978149...). Its explanation of CTEs is fantastic, and it does a great job on many other parts of SQL, and it's a short and sweet book you could read in a few hours. And it will server as a reference long after you first absorb it.

I ran small bootstrapped startup , I used GKE. Everything was templated.

each app has it's own template e.g. nodejs-worker, and you don't change the template unless you really needed.

i spent ~2% of my manger+eng leader+hiring manger+ god knows what else people do at startup on managing 100+ microservices because they were templates.

Heap allocation is what requires requesting memory from an allocator.
I hope this is the next standard for CMS-style sites. I'm eagerly waiting for the thing that's easy enough for non-coders to use that doesn't make the code-capable maintainers want to cry mercy.

I was pretty optimistic about netlify-cms the approach they took just missed the mark on some technical things that NextJS handles as part of the framework.

Best of luck! IMO there's still lots of opportunity in visual site builders, and this one looks like it has a lot of potential.
I am skeptical AST will be able to really compete. SpaceX has a massive cost advantage.

I hope that they will, but the engineers at SpaceX have made me a believer. If the gen 1 direct to cell sats don’t perform (it seems like they do), they’ll just launch another batch a couple weeks later. I don’t think AST will have this ability, so I hope they get it right.

Opinion:

I am extremely tired of this same old bs about “almost 60% developers use AI”. Yes, 60% developers use AI because the previous glorious Google/Bing has drowned in slop and now my search for documentation of a particular library or an arcane question returns 100% SEO spam, so I need to ask claude(or my local llama running on ollama) and get a decent enough(albeit outdated) valuable result from which I can pursue more from somewhere. At no time does it mean that, AI is doing a significant part of my work, and no my IDE already generates all the code I need and no I am not going to blindly use the rote replication of the example from StackOverflow that the AI just generated when I said it to generate a particular function, because these examples are often not the best implementations.

The AI hype and the desperate lobbying is doing a lot of harm to our industry as a whole. We should see it for what it is, some rich naive dudes invested a lot of money because they feel FOMO from last gold mind rush if AirBnB/Uber/Netflix/Spotify era and is freshly burned from crypto dud hype, so they want to kill the industry by scaring away new folks and make everyone as lazy so we get slow frog boiled to accept garbage from these AI crop.

Also, the market and macro economy is unstable for almost 5 years now due to ZIRP expiring, random war, uncertain geopolitical power struggle, failed regulatory keep up allowing a handful of tech predators to acquire and extinguish new ideas and competitions and so many factors. It is just an uncertain time, money now flows on hype and not so much on good ideas because previous good hype has paved way to too much greed, and of course certain giants built too big of a moat and raised the bar and now the new management is milking the cows until the cows collapse in next few years when the new competition rise once the macro settles a bit.

I am optimistic, from next year, we will see a massive improvement in prospects(despite trump happened). We just need to hold on a bit.
> Those investors will require returns, which means the primary objective must be profit

It doesn’t mean that has to be the primary objective, just that at some point it should happen.

Not to mention that the existing Starlink fleet is about to be old technology. The larger satellites launched by Starship is projected to dwarf the terminal speed available now (gigabit+ downlinks to consumer dishes).
Rust doesn't have the concept of package. (Cargo does, but Cargo is a different thing from Rust, and it's entirely possible to use Rust without Cargo).

Rust has the concept of _crate_, which is very close to the concept of compilation unit in C++. You build a crate by invoking `rustc` with a particular set of arguments, just as you build a compilation unit by invoking `g++` or `clang++` with a particular set of arguments.

One of these arguments defines the edition, for Rust, just like it could for C++.

succeeded as governor by David Paterson, a blind man... nothing says a blind governor can't embezzle funds to spend on prostitutes, but perhaps it's less common? wikip: Paterson launched a campaign for a full term as governor in the 2010 New York gubernatorial election, but he announced on February 26, 2010, that he would bow out of the race. During the final year of his administration, Paterson faced allegations of soliciting improper gifts and making false statements; he was eventually fined in excess of $62,000 for accepting free New York Yankees tickets. He was not charged with perjury.

He was succeeded as governor by

I love the idea of Reason/ReScript. I hope they can figure out a way to work together and join forces somehow, the contributions to both repos seems to have faded over the last years, but maybe that's because the projects have stabilized, I don't know.

I've had lots of fun playing with Reason a few years ago. I created an interactive real-time visualization tool, to see a Regexp transform into a NFA to DFA to minimal DFA graph: http://compiler.org/reason-re-nfa/src/index.html
It only works for basic regexes though.
> There's a type of Western mind that gets distracted by their scale, and getting to build things we built a century ago

Where in the US can one find the secret, cross-country high-speed rail built in the roaring twenties?!

There's also a type of western mind that automatically dismisses the odds of a different country succeeding, based on nothing but the fact that they are using a different approach (on the surface). It's a kind if circular reasoning: our system is the best because we're the best, because of the system we have. To subvert the Simpsons - "the best so far"

Edit: I'm far from a Sinophile, but there's a certain willful blindness, concerning an almost religious belief that the west will prevail because it's the west, regardless of all the systemic weaknesses that show up again and again. It would suck for a dictator-for-life leading the biggest economy in the world, but healthy minds would introspect to see how we can do better, like we should, right? I have no doubt out leaders will pick the wrong lessons, like social credit scores and pervasive surveillance
That was the main reason why Europeans were forced to switch to a passport with biometric data (some fingerprints and photo) on a chip more than a decade ago.
Worth noting the times where you have the choice to engage or not with a company with bad practices. Make it unprofitable for them to provide horrible service. Particularly applicable to tech, because most of it is useless rubbish we don't really need anyway!
Like the article, not fan of the title. I understand it's supposed to be catchy, but it is just not accurate. Planning for the next phase of your career would be better. Planning of the end of the career is a very valid topic, but it's a different one (planning for retirement).
It could, if there was decent signal here.

At least in part that's been delayed because of someone in the area raising a band of nutters and giving the council hell about 5G killing her grandchildren. Sigh.

Might happen before too much longer - she managed to get the project to build the new antenna on private land killed (I'm sure much to the annoyance of the landowner, who was going to pocket a nice chunk of ground-rent). But now the local authority have given the go-ahead for one to be built on their land, and they're going to get the rent. She is apoplectic, which brings me great joy.
The whole point of it all was to slow the spread of the disease, protect society's most vulnerable members (the older/sicker people), and especially, keep the healthcare system from collapsing due to too many people getting sick all at once.

If a pandemic like this happens again, we should probably take a different approach, and put the old people into protected communities, separate from others and with measures to keep infection out (outsiders have to wear biohazard suits when entering the protected area). Or perhaps put the kids into their own boarding schools separate from others.
As you point out, there are several valid reasons to subsidise farming. But then subsidise farming, not carbon emissions! And while you are at it, use those subsidies to encourage farming that is sustainable, both for the climate as well as biodiversity.
It's a "security nightmare" because clients can make holes in your firewall. If you're fine with that, then it's okay.
fun fact there is a semi standard encoding called wtf-8 which is utf-8 extended in a way so that it can represent non well formed utf-16 (bad surrogate code points)

it's used in situations like when a utf-8 based system has to interact with Windows file paths
It's not the same because there are plenty of companies that can manufacture cars at scale but only one company that can launch satellites cheaply. Arguably Waymo is ahead of Tesla FSD and they have access to the mature Hyundai and Zeekr supply chains.
And this is why we can't have nice, cheap things. Instead we usually get that "cost" pressure solved by giving it on a silver platter to worker-rights-leading China.

There has to be a better way to prevent abuses in the market without crippling it. But following from that, at what point did we assume this kind of (monopolistic) abuse would happen automatically anyways? I haven't seen it yet, so let's maybe hold off till it happens?

Maybe one day X will host all sorts of government-unapproved content on satellites that are free from US jurisdiction and control? @Elon, do this now, they'll come for you eventually.
I’d consider energy use. I use a projector for home cinema and it draws more power (over 200W) than I would want to pay for to run for a whole working day.
I wonder how many web developers actually honour Do Not Track. I do, in all the websites I've made for my employer too, but I think I'm only getting away with it because my employer doesn't know. I've even made it so that browsing with Do-Not-Track enabled also skips the cookie consent banner and just assume the user wants no cookies other than the strictly necessary ones (like their session/login cookie), and doesn't include Google Analytics, instead just upping a single view counter on the page, with no PII in there.
I'm stoked to hear they're on C++17 now.

When I contributed to LibreOffice (GSoC 2012) they were still on C++03 !
One thing to mention is that as far as I know, biological neurons are much more complex than artificial ones. They spike and have a lot more internal states (I think).

I wonder if we might see more neuromorphic AI hardware (at competitive scale) soon in order to get away from the extreme energy requirements by (hopefully) packing more capability into fewer artificial neurons and/or a more efficient implementation of the neurons.

Every time I see another headline about the plans for giant AI datacenters I expect the next one to be about memristors or some new paradigm with a huge investment coming out of a lab and into a competitive chip. I think that every dollar that goes into a giant AI datacenter should be matched with trying to make new hardware paradigms for AI competitive.
People outside America are exposed to the internet too, and aren't nearly as rude as modern Americans. Personally, I think the modern rudeness is due to something unique about American culture.
"SpaceX is really good and it's hard to compete with them" is not an economic reason for it to be winner takes all. Economic reasons would be, for example, regulations that either explicitly or implicitly prohibit others from competing, as are present in many terrestrial ISP markets. Some way for SpaceX to corner the market for some essential resource like spectrum or orbits and exclude competitors that way.
From the mentioned specification:

> TCP implementations should follow a general principle of robustness: be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.

Better to look in the sources ;)
I don't think China needs any third-party payloads. Even if they only launch Qianfan it should be enough to bring costs down.
How do they track the brain activity of a fruit fly? That seems incredible to me

FTA: Young men appointed as temporary forest workers shared the photo on local Whatsapp and Facebook groups to "shame the woman," Simlai said. "We broke and set fire to every camera trap we could find after the daughter of our village was humiliated in such a brazen way," one local told the researchers.
Then shouldn't these APIs be exposed as different libraries?
Indeed, one has still failed to backup your assertion, and continue to engage in insolent off-topic trolling. The nonsensical detractors are a waste of bandwidth.

Is this a case where monopoly actually benefits the cause? The last great uprising in the public interest, imo, was Microsoft against the open source movements at the turn of the century. It was a heady time to be involved in software. I miss it frankly.

But perhaps it really only succeeded, because that Microsoft was like the Boeing of today, a company where Pournelles second type (the institutionalists) had taken over and was just riding out the momentum, allowing the upstart unfunded open source hippies to actually have success.
From thousands of kilometers away, to make attribution/legal issues even more complex.
You don't have to actually copypaste. You can use CMake and FetchContent/CPM. You can specify custom build commands or inline declare a project for anything small that you pull in that doesn't use CMake (you can call add_library with a glob on the folder FetchContent pulled in, for example - I've done so here https://github.com/basis-robotics/basis/blob/main/cpp/CMakeL... for a header only lib). For large external dependencies that are either very slow to compile or for some reason aren't CMake, reach for the system package manager or similar. If you want to be really cross platform and are supporting Qt/wxwidgets/etc, vcpkg+CMake+clang is solid combo, if a bit slow and a bit disk space heavy with the build cache.
Probably just outspent
IMO it is time to seriously realise that most of this "ooh looks cool, surely I/we need that" tech has no place in this world. Whether or not the act itself is wasteful (although it generally is in tech...), the thought process itself indicates a bigger problem with society. Why do we need this thing? Why do we consider being without the thing to be bad?
Like seriously, at the scale of issues in society today, who cares if your UI panel is blurred or not?
No,.all the companies running the sites chose to add a cookie banner.

No, the storage is worse, because there’s no reason why they couldn’t include a standard 2230 M.2 slot on all their motherboards, for anyone who wanted to upgrade.

The fixed RAM is annoying, but is done to make the product better — the packaging allows the RAM to be significantly faster than otherwise. It’s a major reason why the M-series CPU and GPU performs so well.

It’s the same reason why you don’t see slotted RAM on GPUs. The performance penalty would be great enough that nobody would buy them.
They don't want to "go green", they want to maximize profits, as any other corporation. They just need to have a good enough reputation to make sure environmentally-conscious people don't boycott their products. Anything more than that would have a negative effect on their bottom line, so you can be sure they're not going to do it.

Small companies like Framework and Fairphone proved that you can make very repairable and reusable laptops and phones without sacrificing much in the way of form factor (since this used to be the biggest excuse). I think it's safe to say big manufacturers won't follow suit unless forced by legislation.
> The point of the WireGuard design is to be agnostic to "upper-layer" concerns like this;

And there will probably never be any standard (non-commercial) "upper-layer" because of this.

The project prides itself on being much simpler than IPSEC etc but that's easy when you leave out half of the functionality

Can anyone explain how it's possible given that Starlink satellites are at 500 km altitude while LTE tower has coverage radius of only around 5km?
Is there any good books on Wireguard that cover the principles, implementation and configurations?

We have plenty of books on IPSEC but for Wireguard it's a rarity.
The WAL journal mode does not work over Samba. See the first disadvantage from https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html:

> All processes using a database must be on the same host computer; WAL does not work over a network filesystem. This is because WAL requires all processes to share a small amount of memory and processes on separate host machines obviously cannot share memory with each other.

The presence of the `-shm` file is one of the signs that the database is currently operating in WAL mode, and must only be accessed from the machine hosting the database file.

Looking at the list of journal modes supported (https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_journal_mode), you should see if the problem happens with the default `DELETE` journal mode.

Also, see https://www.sqlite.org/atomiccommit.html#_broken_locking_imp... for warnings about the SQLite that ships with macOS.
While it's possible that the over supply of solar power in California is a case of poor incentives, my money is on it being a result of different parts of the CA solar + electricity ecosystem have progressed at different speeds. Assuming that we see increases in our facility with electricity transmission and storage, having "too much" solar power now doesn't seem as big of a deal as this article makes it out to be.

Which is more likely? That excess transmission and storage infrastructure gets built out before excess generation gets built out? Or that the demand for better transmission and storage infrastructure is preceded by an oversupply of solar power?

That very much depends on the language that you are using. In some, they are.

Bluesky is a lot more like old, early algorithm twitter.

Reddit is a cluster of independently operated communities that occasionally get signal blasted onto the main feed. The top moderator of a subreddit owns it and sets any standard they like.

With Bluesky there are no defined communities outside of collective engagement with particular topics or hashtags or networks of follows. There is also a "Show me [more/less] of this" button every post, and so far it seems like the platform is pretty solid at respecting your preferences. They also seem to be actively moderating the really open bad behaviour off the platform.

I don't think Bluesky is as good as a well-moderated subreddit for long form discussion, but if you spend a little time curating your feed I think you might enjoy it.
