Dang, I think you just solved alcohol and nicotine addiction.

Can you also do something against gambling? Would be cool.
The title made me believe it was just another AI assistant (thinking Janet from "The Good Place" - but for us non-dead people instead. Was pleasantly surprised to see it is a programming language and that the title was just a clever joke on that:

The Janet language is named after an immortal being in The Good Place who helps mortals navigate the afterlife, hence the title.

It kinda surprised me that they ship the language with a PEG (parsing expression grammer) instead of a basic Regex engine.
This has been my wish for any programming language that ships a Regex library by default to also include a capable PEG.
On the other side, we had intern at our (very small) company and he used his own mac. One time he had to debug a mains-powered device. He decided that he will try connecting it to both mains AND programming dongle without separating transformer. He fried the dongle (it literally exploded, plastic lid banging on desk in sudddenly silent office is the most memorable thing), the company provided monitor and device, but somehow his private mac mini survived all this while being in the middle.

Have you considered a less paranoid explanation, like... focused on protecting Europeans from the abuses of big corporations?

NCF: for accents, I'll have to listen at 1x (I normally listen at 2x or close to, which tends to turn all accents into Mickey Mouse)

But a priori I'd generally say: show me someone who doesn't code switch, and I'll show you someone who's always been unmistakably a member of the dominant subculture.

(rummaging through NCF's biography* it's no wonder we come to different treatments for the same diagnosis; he wants to convert the losers [back?] to clueless by infusing them with national spirit; I'd wish the losers could become psychopaths by having [per Aristotle... or Jefferson] some business of their own which they could mind. Regardless of which one of us is correct in general, if one believes in late soviet America, then I'd think one might think that attempting to Tinkerbell [in whom the panto audience must believe] one's way out of it is likely to be as effective as it had been for the soviets, or at least among those among them who hadn't been athletes, scholars, and Komsomol members)

Absolutely love the writing style, which was the reason I got sucked into functional programming and the Janet language deeper than I'd had previously wanted to.

Thank you!
I'm 100% sure your code integrates with the linux ecosystem as an american tourist in europe :D
Maybe it's more of a Mediterranean thing. When I ran my own business i have not one single time been paid with anything else than cash from Arabians.

You need a separate cluster for production because there are operations you'd do your staging/QA environments that might accidentally knock out your cluster, I did that once and it was not fun.

I completely agree with keeping everything as simple as possible though. No extra clusters if not absolutely necessary, and also no extra namespaces if not absolutely necessary.

The thing with Kubernetes is that it was designed to support every complex situation imaginable. All these features make you feel as though you should make use of them, but you shouldn't. This complexity leaked into systems like Helm, which why in my opinion it's better to roll your own deployment scripts rather than to use Helm.
if you actually read the paper you linked, you can clearly see the structured light pattern emitted by the laser. (https://media.springernature.com/lw685/springer-static/image... or figure two.)

Also the patent I linked was filed in 2020, after faceID was rolled out.
Lol at the people who got angry for some lapalissian truth drop :D
I try to get stuff in glass/aluminium bottles that I clean and reuse myself. It's not easy. Supermarkets is an immediate no-go (when I was young, our village supermarket sold Coke and Milk and other stuff from taps , so you just brought your own); now it's something impossible. But for local farmers, local springs etc it works well. Same for veg, fruit, meat, eggs etc; no plastic needed. Allows us to throw almost all our garbage in the compost heap, give to the chickens etc.
I haven't seen any of those apps (or built-in OS features like screen time on iOS) not become useless in a matter of days.

People that will use their phone for distraction (which I don't think there's actually anything wrong with) will take only a few days to get "notification fatigue" from those screens and automatically bypass them without even thinking about it.

I get that you can prevent bypassing the screen as you mentioned as an extra feature but people will just click the other button then.

There's not a single person (myself included) I have seen use screen time not automatically bypass the limitation instantly as it pops up.
Nonsense. There are no alternatives consumers can buy. Try it and you'll find it's virtually impossible. A globalized economy has effectively destroyed the idea of voting with your wallet to reduce waste and production of trash.
> they can't sell you recycled stolen parts at bottom of market prices for a sky high mark up

What represents a more efficient economy. The one where broken phones get reused for parts or the one where you have to throw them away?
> If you have 200 services, I could easily see 200 YAML files.

Out of curiosity, in what case would you _not_ see 200 files for 200 services? Even with Helm, you'd write a chart per app wouldn't you?
Congratulations on finding a way to feel superior to the "supposedly more intelligent computer users" I guess?
It is easy to forget that plastic is made from oil. Most people just do not have that association in their mind.

The oil industry may be looking down the barrel of renewables eating at a good chunk of their profit and subsidy money. I expect them to do all they can to keep plastic attractive in the eyes of the public.

endian dependent until you tell gcc which endianness you want :) Which you can't do in go.
> A huge company is using unpaid artist's labour to create tools that will reduce the potential for these and all future artists to get any paid work at all in the future.

"Will" is a strong claim. If the Jevons Paradox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox) applies in this case - and it may well do so - the new technology will lower costs, and the increased productivity will increase demand. If so, it will require artists to work in a different way but they'll earn more.

The Baumol Effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol_effect) may also lead to increased wages.

I want a struct, not to having to write the code manually to do a struct every single time.

I know you can do that in go but as I already said: "more error prone than C".
You are generalizing extremly without any substinance...

1. its Googles decision to not allow this demo globally. Its a Chess Demo, what EU legal issue do you think makes this a problem? Probably NON...

And yes we are not America. Our privacy is getting better protected then that of americans. Move if you don't like it or at least take the time and effort to state clearly what you don't like about certain EU regulations.

I wouldn't throw "cloud shit" in the same bucket as Kubernetes. Professional cloud services are mostly great, but super expensive.

Kubernetes is interesting, because it basically takes everything you know and sort of pushes it down the stack (or up, depending on your viewpoint). To some extend I get the impression that the idea was: Wouldn't it be great if we took all the infrastructure stuff, and just merged the whole thing into one tool, which you can configure using a completely unsuitable markup language. The answer is that "No, that would in fact not be great".

For me the issue is that Kubernetes is overused. You can not really argue that it's not useful or has its place, but that place is much much small than the Internet wants us to believe. It's one of the few services where I feel like "Call us" would be an appropriate sales method.

The article is correct, you probably don't need Kubernetes. It's a amazing piece of technology, but it's not for the majority of us. It is and should be viewed as a niche product.

I think it's pretty clear to everyone that teaching basic literacy - reading, writing, practical maths etc - is a huge societal benefit. Nobody is advocating for not doing that.

What is maybe less clear is the benefit of extending formal academic education to 18 and beyond for everyone. If someone is not academically gifted, why make them waste years of their life struggling through an academic education. What's the point?

The relationship between education and achievement for a given person probably follows an S curve. More education has an impact in the steep part of the slope, but eventually the limiting factor is natural ability, and achievement flatlines. The problem with education today is that people looked at that curve when it was in the steep part, thought "more education means better outcomes" and just kept blindly throwing education at people.

Most people would be far better served by vocational learning after a certain point. Effectively every career is a form of vocational learning, we've just delayed it further and further in the name of academic education which has limited benefit.
Companies like google are quite well equiped to launch anything globally.

And in this specific case, its a Chess demo, its probably something different
I don't get much joy from long distance travel in any form tbh ;) I keep posting in this thread because people keep making untrue claims about transport economics, and it's important to be realistic here.

So we go unto the breach once more: in the USA the government run parts of the air system are funded by taxes on fliers, not direct subsidies. ATS is a part of the FAA which is funded by such taxes:

https://usafacts.org/articles/who-funds-the-faa-you-whenever...

Airports usually fund themselves via fees charged to airlines, which are then ultimately charged to the flier. You can see them in the fare breakdowns sometimes. I'm sure there are tiny airports in the US that are subsidized because governments love subsidizing uneconomic things for prestige reasons, but it isn't structurally needed.
Is the purpose of the Cork office taxation related?
Like most tech stories this had pretty much nothing to do the tool itself but with the people/organization. The entire article can be summarized with this one quote

> In short, organizational decisions and an overly cautious approach to resource isolation led to an unsustainable number of clusters.

And while I emphasize with how they could end up in this situation, it feels like a lot of words were spent blaming the tool choice vs being a cautionary tail about for example planning and communication.
Why are you writing a JavaScript toolchain in Zig?

Nice job! That's a neat use case. Impressive too. You got texts, image generation using AI and storage and retrieval and display. All with a low cost. This would make a nice solution for a kiosk or displays you see in stores.

On the contrary, it's time to move to JS for the UI of desktop applications as well. We've seen this approach become more and more popular with Electron over the last 10 years.

30 years ago?

> Signals and Backgrounding seem to be just developers that have little experience with that stuff.

Yes, go developers have little experience. I see we agree.

> What more are you expecting?

Them to tell systemd they started.

> I don't even know what you are referring to by the `old fork way`

As I said, most go developers have little experience. I see you agree once again.

The old fork way is the portable way to do it with whatever init system (systemd included).
Plants feed on oxidized compounds, i.e. water, carbon dioxide and dinitrogen, plus solar energy. Because carbon dioxide and dinitrogen are very volatile they must be taken from atmosphere.

Reduced organic compounds, like hydrocarbons, are not food for plants, but for fungi or similar organisms, which, like humans, need only dioxygen from the atmosphere.

There already are genetically-modified fungi that can produce the complete proteins required by humans (i.e. whey proteins or egg-white proteins) when fed with cheap carbohydrates and ammonia or a simple amino-acid. There are also fungi that can feed on hydrocarbons.

Creating genetically-modified fungi able to feed on hydrocarbons and produce glucose and proteins for human consumption is not far from the already existing technology. With a serious effort in this direction, this could be solved in a decade or so. The glucose and proteins produced by fungi would be used not only for direct consumption, but also for feeding other microbial cultures that are needed for producing vitamins and essential fatty acids, using the techniques that are already in use today for this purpose.
>expert blindness at work.

>It's not that complicated if you limit yourself to the core stuff.

Isn't this the core problem with a lot of technologies. There's a right way to use it, but most ways are wrong. An expert will not look left and right anymore, but to anyone entering the technology with fresh eyes it's a field with abundance of landmines to navigate around.

It's simply bad UX and documentation. It could probably be better. But now it's too late to change everything because you'd annoy all the experts.

>There's way too much vendor garbage surrounding the ecosystem

Azure has been especially bad in this regard. Poorly documented in all respects, too many confusing UI menus that have similar or same names and do different things. If you use Azure Kubernetes the wrapper makes it much harder to learn the "core essentials". It's better to run minkube and get to know k8s first. Even then a lot of the Azure stuff remains confusing.
I have met people who like to drink from glass, and people who buy things in plastic bottles because that’s literally the only option if you want to enjoy a drink or even just clean water. These are the two (non mutually exclusive) categories of people that I normally meet. Do you often meet people who specifically like plastic, as opposed to tolerating it?
Doubly so since warmongerers will defend your persona and corparations will use the persona as a politically palatable scapegoat.
"NoSQL" was always a terribly-named movement indicating a heinously-shallow view of data stores.
Are you telling me the tensor backslash was all internet drama ?

Google themselves acknowledged their phone have issue in leaked document.

https://www.androidauthority.com/google-tensor-g6-downgrades...

Beside this recent issue with tensor, everyone know that pixel phone don't hold up. They always break one way or another, which was barely acceptable when they were cheap.

Your collection of pixel either say you got many defect or you switched so frequently you didn't have time to see them appear.
If the price tag isn't an issue, you should go for managed k8s.

If you want to do it yourself, I can recommend Talos Linux & this guide[1] to get an understanding of which parts you will need to configure & why.

What are the tradeoffs?

Pros managed:

- easy, you basically click a few buttons (or do some terraform configuration)
- well tested

Cons managed:

- costly
- less flexibility (although thats rarely an issue if you don't have any special requirements)

Pros self managed:

- costs less (you just need some VMs)
- you have full control
- more fun & you learn something

Cons self managed:

- takes more time (provision VMs, install basic stuff via helm etc)
- takes more experience (i wouldn't recommend doing this if you have no experience with it before, e.g. with a mirror instance)

Overall, I would recommend going with managed k8s, if your goal is to just get up and running. If you have some extra time, experience and are willing to learn, go with self managed.

I was going to say the same. There is a chance that they sailed to the location.

However a 6 hour flight from the closest major city would have given off 1500 kg of CO2 (per passenger). And presumably another 1500kg to get back again.
How did your managers ever _ever_ sign off on something that cost an extra $0.5M?

Either your pre profit or some other bogus entity, or your company streamlined moving to k8s and then further streamlined by cutting away things you don't need.

I'm frankly just alarmed at the thought of wasting that much revenue, I could bring up a fleet of in house racks for that money!
I agree with your abstraction of the problem, but I think you stopped half-way.

Regulators, producers and consumers are all following the same interconnected incentive structures, many of which have been designed with efficient production and an exponential increase of consumption in mind, not environmental concern.

It makes sense for these companies to operate, following their obligation to shareholders. They are, by definition, successful and so the idea that they should be diminished in any way by taxation/regulation creates a dissonance that can easily be loopholed or simply undone by the next gov't. Tax is a political lever, but the incentives are emergent economic atttributes. This means that, as soon as there is enough economic influence within politics, the lever doesn't do much anyway.

The fact that Altria (ex Philip Morris), a tobacco brand, made it to this list is telling IMO. There is no way that the cigarette packaging produces that much identifiable plastic trash.

My guess would be that in some countries, the stores provide disposable plastic bags with any purchase and that these bags include ads for tobacco brands. This study would associate the brand with the generation of trash while the trash should rather be associated with the store.

I'll personally classify this study as unreliable.

That's because gas taxes are an unusually live wire in US politics, not because roads are fundamentally uneconomic. Until 2008 gas taxes did cover highway spending, and they now require general transfers because gas taxes weren't indexed to inflation. According to this website the taxes weren't increased since 1993, so in practice the US system has been deliberately starved of sustainable revenue.

https://taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/what-highway-trust...

"Congress could pay for projected highway and mass transit spending by simply raising the federal tax rate on gasoline and diesel fuel. Increasing those rates by 15 cents per gallon along with indexing the rates for inflation would increase federal revenues by $240 billion over ten years (CBO 2022)."

Balancing the highway books in the USA would be easy, and it's done already in most other parts of the world.

Not really since you are unlikely to end up with unpaired surrogates outside of UTF-16 unless you explicitly implement a WTF-16 decoder - most other things are going to error out or remove/replace the garbage data when converting to another encoding.

And if you convert valid UTF-16 by interpreting them as UCS-2 and then not check for invalid code points you are going to end up with either valid UTF-8 or something that isn't even valid WTF-8 since that encoding disallows paired surrogates to be encoded individually.

WTF-16 is something that occurs naturally. WTF-8 isn't.
Nice solution. Just use vendor lock-in, so you can't use your own shit later.

What's with that idea that compulsions aren't real? They are just as real and difficult to drop as substance-based addictions, for a rather simple reason:
The physical addiction is only a compounding factor, not the core difficulty in a "classic" addiction.

What really makes people always come back, no matter what, is the psychological addiction, not the physical one. Which is also why phones can be just as difficult to stop as gambling compulsions or drug addictions.
