I have my own grinding war for survival to worry about so I can’t write blank checks.

But I know broadly what you’re talking about, I hate it too, and if you have an ask and I agree that it’s ethically good, I will do what I can to be a resource at your disposal.

I’m a big fan of anyone around here doing anything that represents a personal risk or sacrifice for an idea more interesting than self-advantage.

Google Maps once sent me on a highway across Northern Vietnam that is completely submerged for a considerable part of any given year. It also once tried to have me drive through an underground cave system that’s inaccessible without rappelling. Then there was the time a lovely woman in Pleiku spent an incredible amount of patient effort on using hand gestures and drawings to explain to the idiot American that, no, the tire repair her husband had expertly done was not, in fact, the high explosive bomb that Google Translate insisted it was.

NEVER trust AI-driven systems run by overworked engineers who haven’t been there, recently.
Even for those that want extended access, what's suppose to be a simple review process is absolutely broken. Their dev forum is full of people who have applied and been left waiting for months with no communication.
So did Spotify. It's the usual VC funded startup scam.

At least a new player means artists and users are slightly more screwed over than before, until this batch of VC money runs dry.

Fortunately, unlike with e.g. Uber or Grubhub & similar, the music streaming startups aren't screwing society over by destroying more sustainable local competition, so I think in this case, the best course of action is to make full use of all the freebies and best deals in this space, because the more VC money we burn, the better off we (users) and artists are.

It'll eventually collapse, too, but there won't be a fallout, since all those companies do right now is compete with each other over distribution rights. The songs won't go away.
You're leaving out a crucial detail: did they just assume your real information was incorrect because the name is unusual or something, or did you actually provide incorrect information?
Correct. As per the paper the population of organisms suggests contamination occurred during sample preparation at the Natural History Museum.
That part of the article felt quite wrong to me as well. I've built accounting systems that worked well for a decade, where internally the values were a single amount column in the journal table. If it was a debit, it'd be positive, if a credit, it'd be negative.

In fact, we could call these values yin and yang, for all it mattered.

Also, I'm not able to really follow what he means by "money = assets in the future".

Money is money, but if you wanted to track the intermediate state until the customer gets receipt, you would use an In Transit account (Good In Transit / Service In Transit etc.)

Yet, it doesn't change the fundamental definition of the value in the accounting system. I think the author confuses an engineering concept (sagas, or thunks, or delayed but introspectable/cancellable actions in general) with accounting.
Ada is used all over the place in high integrity computing, that is much more than aerospace.

Well, COBOL just got ISO COBOL 2023 out of the door, and both Visual COBOL and NetCOBOL, still offer a much better development experience than many FOSS toolchains.
That sounds like a proper adventure
I have, and everywhere people use public transit, it’s far more expensive or tedious to use a nice, big car. The houses, driveway, garage, and parking situation are inferior to those of 90% of the US, where you can easily take a Ford F150 or full size SUV almost anywhere you want.

Cars need space. Walking and bicycling (and public transit) need density. The environment for optimizing for each of those is completely opposite.

And once a person has invested in a car (the car itself and a home with enough space to store the car), and they use that car on a daily basis to commute to work or drop the kids off at school, they will be very unlikely to support taxes to pay for public transit, something they will almost never use, since they are already leaving the house in a car, they are going to do all their errands while out in a car.

No, because kids don't care about news channels. It's not a darn kids on tiktoks thing, before tiktok or twitter or facebook they were outside, or playing video games, or reading books, or any number of things because underage kids don't give a hoot about talking heads newsstations.

The US VP elect has threaten withdrawal from NATO if Twitter is regulated in the EU.

There appears to be no such threat regarding TikTok.

This is a test of the EU. If TikTok is not banned quickly, it's not a good sign.
And to add to this, if the seller is unable to make the thing work as it's supposed to, either through repairs or replacements, they are of course obliged to give the customer their money back. But yeah, that's not the first resort.
Spawning a periodically waking up Task in .NET (say every 250ms) that performs work like sending out a network request would retain comparable memory usage (in terms of async overhead itself).

Even at 100k tasks the bottleneck is going to be the network stack (sending outgoing 400k RPS takes a lot of CPU and syscall overhead, even with SocketAsyncEngine!).

Doing so in Go would require either spawning Goroutines, or performing scheduling by hand or through some form of aggregation over channel readers. Something that Tasks make immediately available.

The concurrency primitive overhead becomes more important if you want to quickly interleave multiple operations at once. In .NET you simply do not await them at callsite until you need their result later - this post showcases how low the overhead of doing so is.
I feel the title is a bit misleading here.

Not really news to me: at least one certain well-known telecom company was scouting specialists from all over the world (from US to EU and Russia) and bombarding them with astronomical salaries. I'm not saying no one used this tactic before China. It's centuries old. But in this case those engineers or scientists are super-rare (unique), extremely valuable and desired. So, in multi-billion strategic industry it's worth paying triple for them.

But, I guess, it takes unbelievable amount of loyalty/patriotism to stay when you're offered so much..
We're third, between Poland and Hungary, and other countries are making serious investments.

"Third, between Poland and Hungary" would be fine if we were talking about production of goulash, or words with too many consonants, but we are talking about batteries, which are now a critical part of energy infrastructure and daily life.

Also, the US battery production is almost exclusively Tesla, which is actually Panasonic, using a process that has still not been Americanized, using Japanese equipment, the most critical of which "in an area not accessible to non-Panasonic employees." It is also behind China on cost. Oh, and did I mention it is government-subsidized to a hilarious degree? In other words, it's a joke.

Does Hetzner provide a way to limit how much traffic a cloud server can use?

I'm always afraid to use paid services to host my hobby projects, because what happens when some malicious or stupid actor with huge bandwith hotlinks an image from my site or downloads it in a loop?

What would be perfect would be a way to set an upper limit of say 100 TB per month after which the cloud server does not accept outbound traffic anymore and I get an email.

Or is the network speed already enough of a protection? Their site says it is a 1GB connection. That should limit the traffic to 300TB per month? If so, that would also be fine with me.

Thank you for posting this.

I’m trying to get my head around how to build a fairly complex ledger system (for managing the cost schedules in large apartment buildings where everyone might pay a different proportion and groups of apartments contribute towards differing collections of costs) and you’ve just massively accelerated my thinking. And possibly given me an immediate solution.

I started using the internet unsupervised heavily in my tweens in the early 2000's and came across some horrendous stuff pretty early. Despite that, for me I think it's been a net positive and I would like my children to grow up in a similar environment.

The lasting qualities I think it's given me are:

- An open mindedness and the ability to examine issues from multiple angles

- A thick skin against shocking material/online forms of bullying

- A stronger understanding of how technology interacts with society/power structures

I think the country needs to be building digitally strong youth, not trying to put the genie back into the bottle.

I wish these companies were forced to get the nationality of the person or the companies owners and be forced to assign them to IP address blocks which identifies these nationalities.

My home DNS server blocks all requests to .ru and .cn, but I can't do IP-address-block blocking because shady Chinese companies or individuals just need to rent some computing on AWS or DigitalOcean in order to become indistinguishable from American companies. And specially DigitalOcean seems to be the favorite platform for doing scams.

We're OK with having license plates attached to our cars, but not to be forced to expose our nationality to infrastructure providers? There's really no privacy-sensitive stuff which needs to be protected in that case.

If this were written in 2018 i might agree. Rust is currently exploding, however.
C++ is footgun central, which is the opposite of typesafe.
Go doesn't care about typesafety, and had it's heydey already.
Rust is eating everything in 2024.
People have begun to appreciate an approach to maintaining comprehensive typesafety from the db to user input.
Rust is capable of holding much info about what it specifies, and is basically lossless as a specification.
Rust is already eating the world, it just took a couple of decades of committee bikeshedding to achieve it.
People are starting to understand why typesafety matters, as they flail around in bug soup.
CSS Today: Powerful Features You Might Not Know About
CSS keeps evolving, and the past year has brought some awesome updates that might have slipped under the radar. I’ll admit, I hadn’t been paying much attention to CSS lately, so I decided to catch up and write about some of the most exciting new features.

As per the article, however, a nitrogen atmosphere does not preclude growth of Bacillus, many species of which can tolerate a pure nitrogen atmosphere quite readily.

That said, bacillus can survive hard vacuum too through sporulation, so short of analysing these samples in-situ, it’s going to be really hard to prove an ET origin for any microorganisms.

Australia has always been a nanny state though. Not even letting some games or movies in to the country because they think it's inappropriate for adults to consume for example. Ridiculous.

Not being a US citizen or living in the US I can still understand how the upcoming president was elected - regardless of how one feels politically about if they should or should not have been.

Reddit has become an extreme echo chamber of a particular ideology to the point I find myself even with agreement on many points leaning the other way out of the exhaustion of the echo chamber. It feels like some amount embrace, get off on the echo chamber and then there are others (myself?) who get so sick of the constant echo chamber end up being just opposed to engaging even in things we normally would support.

It's not a perfect analogy, but it reminds me of kids who left to their own free will, will eat boat loads of candy to the point of being sick of candy and don't want it anymore even though they did/do enjoy candy they're simply maxed out on having it.
No-one actually wants to do this but the answer is to tax fuel. UK road tax for example already taxes bigger/heavier cars more (albeit not particularly granularly), so there’s your weight component. Fuel consumption is a decent proxy for distance.

Obviously there’s some maths needed on how to apply the tax to both ICE and EVs, and to think about edge cases (super efficient but hard on tyres), although my gut says that likely the harder you are on tyres, the harder you’ll be on fuel.
Any prompt or system setup examples which work well?

wha— what? why?? they must be solving some kind of scaling problem that I have never seen
I seem to recall when selling cars the V5 transfer also has a mileage (so easy to attribute)

It isn't precisely easy (MOT and tax timings won't line up etc) and arrears rather than advance etc. We definitely have enough data to do a fair approximation - just high operational overheads to collect
The argument then, is what if we DO load 2K worth [0] of randomized data into each of those 1m goroutines (and equivalents in the other languages), and do some actual processing. Would we still see the equivalent 10x (whatever math works it out to be) memory "bloat"? And what about performance?

We, as devs, have "4" such resources available to us, memory, network, I/O and compute. And it behooves us to not prematurely optimize on just one.

[0] I can see more arguments/discussions now, "2K is too low, it should be 2MB" etc...!

> Instead of using negative numbers, Accounts have normal balance: normal credit balance literally means that they are normal when its associated entries with type credit have a total amount that outweighs its associated entries with type debit. The reverse is true for normal debit balance.

But that is an interpretation made by the viewer. A customer typically is an asset account, whose balances are in the debit column. But if we somehow owe them money because let's say they paid us an advance, then their balance should be in the credit column. The accounting system need not bother with what the "right" place for each account is.

It is quite practical to have only a simple amount column rather than separate debit/credit columns in a database for journal entries. As long as we follow a consistent pattern in mapping user input (debit = positive, credit = negative) into the underlying tables, and the same when rendering accounting statements back, it would remain consistent and correct.

I cannot believe that people are calling for the ban of TikTok or X or any other social platform. It's just a gut feeling but it feels to me as though the more the economic situation in Europe deteriorates the more the continent descends into totalitarianism.

This is a very pessimistic description of the US. You can't mold plastic at scale? How in the hell is Tesla one of the most profitable made-in-the-US car manufacturers around? Are you basing this on anything concrete?

Our leaders do their job by trying to uphold our values like freedom of expression and equality and that other stuff.

This makes us vulnerable and we have to adapt. But hopefully not by banning these things, but by educating ourselves about the risks and gains of using addictive technology. At least that's the theory, I guess.

TikTok should be handled like an addictive substance. It and things just like it should be heavily regulated and watched over (e.g. by protecting and educating our youth).
I suspect this is a "small company" problem which don't sell too many different things. A larger enterprise might have a platform for connecting businesses with businesses and businesses with customers. They might sell services (subscriptions) but also one-time purchases which require different forms of revenue recognition. Those might even be split up across different revenue streams. You end up building sub-ledgers for each one of them because the ERP can't handle the scale. Oh, and you're a public company so make sure everything is SOX compliant and easy to audit. Ah, and you operate on a global scale so do all those things in different currencies for different legal entities.

You won't win any arguments with Australians on forced voting. The major parties would love to kill it, but it is something the (forced) voters will refuse to give up. It may not be 'free', but it helps keep things free.

If you are going to cite sources about 1960's Australian culture, back in the oppressive dark ages of 'White Australia', make sure you compare it with other 1960's cultures. Or try some sources from this millennium that have come to terms with not being part of the British Empire.
Who defines what a child is? Who defines what a elderly person is? Are these questions also jokes to you? You seem pretty flippant about deciding which groups shouldn't have political power.

Many countries already tried using objective criteria to decide who gets to vote, and this always results in policy that screws nonvoters at the benefit of voters. Do you think the housing crisis all around the western world is an accident? It's not. The electorate chose this because it benefits them. Is it an accident that the last 2 US presidents are pedophiles? Probably, but that would be much less likely with a younger electorate.

A decision was made about how children's lives should function without their input. Right now do you believe that the class of parent voters votes as representatives of the interests of their children and their future? Or do you believe that all persons under 16 have no concept of time or political interests and couldn't even understand if a politician was making them a good deal through a political ad?

Children understand brand new toys better than anyone; by high school, pretty much all of them understand that they get better teachers if you pay more. Are students not interested in getting better grades for "free"?

The government is not anyone's parent, it doesn't give a lick if your kid dies tomorrow, cause kids don't vote.

This is a bit misleading about Billingsgate fish market. They shut the real Billingsgate fish market next to London bridge a long time ago and moved it to canary wharf.
