Or, more likely, the reality that the US military industrial complex is built off the dream of upwards social mobility for impoverished Americans.

The US has very little social programs, on purpose. Those social programs ARE the military. If you need help to pull you out of poverty, you go into the military. Then you get education, healthcare, affordable housing, and guaranteed work - the typical social benefits you'd see in a modern democratic socialist nation. They're simply "rebranded" to fit the American dream, and, in turn, provide the military with a steady supply of warm bodies.

The military, at it's core, is nothing more than a work program and tiny little socialist nation within the US.

The rich don't join the military because they don't have to. These social benefits are for average to poor Americans.

Functionally; like skid row? Certainly, that hasn't worked out well for LA; because it literally just doesn't work. Even many homeless don't want to live in places like this, because they inevitably become extremely unsafe, because the idea that a 24/7 police presence has a significant positive impact or is even possible is a fantasy. Police become jaded overnight, like trying to mop up the ocean. No one in the public (read: voters, taxpayers) would support a place like this in their backyard, for good reason. A person pitches a tent ten blocks away; what does the city do? Forcibly move them? They're back ten blocks away the next day. Repeat.

Prison being too expensive is, to be fair, true, but a problem local to only some states, and a different problem that we should be motived to solve independent of whether its a tool in the solution of this problem.

But, beyond that, maybe my point is more generally (and contentiously) stated as: I believe homelessness should be a crime whose punishment involves the forfeiture of the person's freedom of movement and work. That's a general way of saying "prison" and that's fine, but I'm comfortable stating that governments need to think about building a (undesirable, forced) path toward finding a home for these people, and making them work to earn it.

If a homeless person walks this path, gets to their freedom, and reverts back to being homeless again; well, its a revolving door, but at least its one which rotates over a span of years instead of days, and its one that makes a good faith attempt toward rehabilitation.
fine. Examples, what can I use this for?
In Sunni Islam, the Hadith is essentially a companion source to the Quran - in particular, Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.

You're missing something important.

You know your code is going to work in production before you got there not because you wrote tests but because you thought about what it means for your code to work in production and then came up with a plan to generate the required confidence that it actually will work in production. And, for any nontrivial system, tests can only satisfy part of that plan.

The goal isn't to have well-tested code. The goal is to have code that you can easily be confident will work as intended. And testing is only good at establishing some kinds of that confidence. For the other kinds, such as confidence you're not going to launch a bunch of security disasters or concurrency landmines, you need to do something else: types, proofs, correctness by construction, model checking, and so on.

I wrote about this idea almost twenty years ago: https://blog.moertel.com/posts/2006-10-10-unit-testing-is-a-...

I elaborated in a later post:
https://blog.moertel.com/posts/2012-04-15-test-like-youre-be...

That you seem to believe otherwise is probably why a lot of people are having trouble with your claim that that world doesn't need better concurrency abstractions, just more tests because "if you write comprehensive unit tests, it is not easy to have bugs in golang."
I’ve seen a team try and be truly “multi-cloud” but then ended up with this Frankenstein architecture where instead of being able to weather one cloud going down, their app would die if _any_ cloud had an issue.

Bad code rarely causes outages at this scale. The culprit is always configuration changes.

Not a single person has spoken up to say that they write a lot of tests AND they have a lot of bugs.

All the negativity (downvotes) has come from people who are trying to argue that writing tests doesn't solve the problem of bugs. The same people who don't write a lot of tests AND have a lot of bugs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I write a lot of tests and I don't have bugs. I have decades of experience and millions of lines of code, with this simple fact. I know it is true, at least for me.

I don't know what else to bike shed here other than the constant downvoting by people who somehow don't believe my claim. The loss in karma doesn't bother me, I know I'm right on this and it appears as though the only people who disagree with me are the same people who don't write tests (and have a lot of bugs).

golang is a relatively simple language. It is why I like it so much. Occasionally there are somewhat difficult things to reason about, but if you write golang code that is easily testable (and this requires thought and planning), then my experience is that even the "harder" channel/goroutine code can always be tested in one way or another.

The news likes to allude to China's "genocide" in Xinjiang, but no one is dying.

At most they can stretch it to a "cultural genocide" but even that's not true as the native culture is not being repressed, only religious extremism.

However it is true that thousands of Palestinian civilians are being killed and those same media are afraid to call it out.

This is the second time in as many days that I see someone implying that Next.js is somehow difficult to deploy outside of Vercel. Vercel has an excellent offering for Next.js apps but you can easily deploy in Netlify, AWS Amplify, Cloudflare Pages, Digital Ocean, Render, Railway, etc, etc. in fact, I prefer deploying outside of Vercel since I’d rather not deal with the cold-starts for server code. My take is that most large corps aren’t hosting next.js on Vercel and are instead setting up and managing their own pipelines/environments. .

There's no risk in non-smokers if you stick to a sane dose. Megadosing it can harm sleep and severely increase blood pressure and heart rate, although these gradually reverse upon cessation. This can take time to manifest. It is why I limit the dose to 500 mcg per day. Older people, such as those over 70, can need more and tolerate more, even 5 mg per day, due to deteriorated absorption.

Also, don't forget the other B vitamins. In truth I take them all.

My experience with very large scale B2B SaaS and PaaS has been that customers like to get money, if allowed by contract, by complaining about outages, but that overall, B2B SaaS is actually very forgiving.

Most B2B SaaS solutions have very long sales cycles and a high total cost to implement, so there is a lot of inertia to switching that “a few annoying hours of downtime a year” isn’t going to cover. Also, the metric that will drive churn isn’t actually zero downtime, it’s “nearest competitor’s downtime,” which is usually a very different number.

In our world today it seems impossible to complain about stress. Everyone around me from boss to family to even therapist keep telling me to remind myself of how great of a life I have and that I should know better than to complain. But it feels to me like I'm drowning in an ocean stress everyday with no way to escape it. I keep being compared to others who can seemingly take the stress well and am questioned why I can't take similar level of high-stakes, indeterministic responsibilities with severe dangers that are beyond my control, and little to no positive pay-off for me. Some people around me are extremely health conscious, they avoid all kinds of chemicals, eat religiously well, work-out regularly, sleep well etc yet when they show obvious signs of stress because they're working 12 hours a day in their torturous FAANG job, I'm treated like an antivaxxer for pointing it out. In this world of hustle culture, it seems like a taboo to talk about how unhealthy stress is. Stress today is like 70s cigarettes, everybody is doing it, so no need to worry about its health effects.

And yes I have graying hair at mid-late 20s. Sometimes I'm astonished how people don't complain about their stress levels. I feel weak, child-like, immature, and feeble being unable to tolerate maybe 10% of what my wife can.

Back when Bluesky was in invite-only mode and I was giving out invite codes on Twitter, it used to be possible to just copy-paste the invite code into a DM with a rando and have them join.

At some point, that stopped working. Your account would get blocked and you'd need to solve one of those annoying CAPTCHAs. Following this change, I started to just take screenshots of the invite codes as they were visible on the Bluesky website, so black text on a white background.

Then that stopped working too and resulted in the CAPTCHA block, so whenever I wanted to share a code, I'd take the screenshot and overlay a random game screenshot on top of it to make it no longer just black text on a white background. Thankfully they didn't manage to stop that before the invite system went away.

Just because you are uninformed about certain things doesn't mean everyone else is too. For example, driving on the highway could look dangerous to a person from the jungle, but it isn't to someone who knows what he's doing. Your comment is the same way. If I try or take something, it's because I have studied it reasonably. The things I named are not untested high-risk substances.
