One thing you mention, floop houses, aka single room occupancy (SRO) units don't really exist anymore though. They were shut down over higher building code standards (because fires) and public health concerns. Although those issues were often overstated and it was supposedly "morality" concerns that played a bigger part. Now since covid, rent has increased dramatically and there's been a corresponding increase in working, non-addict, homeless where I live and that type of housing could help.
Depends on how fast you need them to be. I've had success using docker postgres , set up the same as production, where each test creates a connection to it's own test specific database, or is written to run inside a transaction that can clean up after itself using a shared database. In my experience, slower tests that use a real db almost always save net positive dev time.

I don't see why a TPM couldn't be open? Nobody makes open-source TPMs (because they're put inside CPUs or attached to motherboards with specific pins and protocols) but in theory you could just do it. All you need to do is make sure any secrets stored get wiped permanently whenever you flash new firmware.

It'd be similar to secure boot: usable by default, but reconfigurable so that you can bring your own keys and signatures, putting you in complete control of your hardware, to the point where even the manufacturer no longer has a say in what's running and what isn't.

MongoDB ships with horizontal sharding out-of-the-box, has idiomatic and well-maintained drivers for pretty much every language you could want (no C library re-use), is reasonably vendor-neutral and can be run locally, and the data modeling it encourages is both preferential for some people as well as pushes users to avoid patterns that don't scale very well with other models. Whether these things are important to you is a different question, but there is a lot to like that alternatives may not have answers for. If you currently or plan on spending > 10K per month on your database, I think MongoDB is one of the strongest choices out there.

Also want to add that you can definitely use MongoDB (or any other database) in a way that doesn't scale well. I have personally run MongoDB at petabyte scale and had a relatively great experience.
I'm not saying the result is completely useless, I am comparing it to the age-old technique of using a dictionary. Does this new LLM-powered technique improve upon the old dictionary technique?

Dictionaries also don't require a GPU or this amount of RAM.

Where I assume LLMs would shine is lossy compression.
Nice.

How much does a bunch of self-taught coders or students cost, who can proof to you that they can self-host for you?

How would a salesman convince you that's a bad idea?

Why do agencies immediately put you on all platforms? Who anchored this and why?

You want exposure. Where to find that exposure? Why would users/customers get on your self-hosted platform? How would they find it?

What priorities do these platforms have? Short-, mid-, long-term?
But I am not the Microsoft support guy, or maintainer of VSCode. It happened in the past, that even though I don't use VSCode, I knew how to help someone, but I would never go as far as endorsing it, especially not to a new grad. If anything in the direction, it would be VSCodium, which the no-carers don't even know exists. Other than that, I would tell them they have to make their own choice and if they happen to choose a tool I know, I can help them out, perhaps. If they want to learn Emacs and ask me questions about how I do something, I would be glad to help them learn this freedom respecting tool, over something like VSCode.
Really cool thanks for pointing me in the right direction

Setup tooling to start postgres in a local docker container and point at that. Works very well and there are some libraries that abstract it for you.

I think it was Testcontainers.
Just use Testcontainers (https://testcontainers.com/). We use it for quickly spinning up a temporary postgres instance to run our db tests against.

They were just designed for a world where there is actual customer service. This apprehension on hardware keys seems to be rooted mostly in this fact.

You missed the point with an overly simplistic take. They shouldn’t be (more) profitable by essentially having the government subsidize the wages of their employees. That means we, the taxpayers, are subsidizing their profits. I’m pro-capitalism, but not the type that requires tax dollars to maintain profitability and margins. If their only means of profitability is to pay non-living wages, I generally don’t want them in business because it creates an underclass as a means to profit.

(To add some nuance, I think it’s ok in some cases for short duration, like subsidizing new industries or those related to national emergencies, if it doesn’t become a long-term strategy. In general, those that pay extremely low wages are not part of those categories)

I guess a more pointed question is: do you think companies with a model that pays sub-standard wages should have their profits propped up by tax dollars? That's not my personal ideal of well-functioning capitalism.
> expanding supply of healthcare you are taking resources away from somewhere else

This is totally wrong.
It takes 5 years to get planning approval in UK, it takes 1 year in France. Tunnelling costs are 3x higher in Uk than in europe. Building a tram takes 3 times less. Lower Thames crossing has been in planning for 15 years and we have spent 300 million on lawyers, more than Norway has spent on building an actual tonnel of comparable size.

If UK has economy of France but infrastructure worse than Poland, maybe we are doing something dumb.

If USA has expensive insulin and poor Bulgaria has cheap insulin and it works just as well, maybe you are doing something dumb.

You can expand supply of housing in UK without damaging other sectors of economy: introduce statutory right to add an extra story on your op if your house. Remove green belt protections, introduce 1 month limit on review of any planning application, after which it is automatically granted if valid objection is not found.

Introduce a single planning portal and standardise software for planning applications across the whole country instead of every Shropshire and Wolverhampton having their own practices. Purchase perpetual license for such software as a country and make it freely available to every citizen.

Introduce favourable mortgages for self-building.

Produce detailed, pre-approved designs for standardised homes and bulk purchase materials or modular components for them.

Organise mass production of
high-speed trams and make them available to local government with favourable, pre approved finance terms, so that larger areas of housing are accessible by high speed transport.

All of the above is implemented in different countries around the world, whether it’s France, China or someone else.

The whole point of the mocking the database is to not test the database! If you need to test the database then test the database! Just like mocking an API can hide hidden issues with the API… which is again the exact point of mocking the API. This article should really be named “mocking your database isn’t testing your database” which seems like it should be obvious.

> It's my understanding† that making payments with a credit card is no longer permitted,

Ive never used them myself either but it would surprise me if they allowed credit cards for payment ever.

In my head they were trying to make their money back on the loan via the merchant rate 'padding' (i.e. usually 1-2% of the item price).

Which of course, in this non NZIRP/ZIRP climate means they have to find other ways of making/saving money... (didn't klarna just do a layoff?)
> It's not. For some reason, Microsoft don't use TPM parameter encryption, even though every year or two some security researcher or another comes up with another stunt TPM-sniffing device to parade around.

AFAIK it is useless, there is no way the TPM could authenticate the CPU. You could always desolder the TPM chip, send the correct data for updating PCRs and get the sealed key.
Not sure how familiar you are with the rules of D&D, but "lesser wizard" in this context means suboptimal stat bonuses, not limitations on magic.
Just mock the repository which calls the db, and to test the queries themselves, use the real db as a docker container, or integration test with an existing db
I will not be renewing my X Premium+ subscription
Tests are usually embarrassingly parallel. Instead of creating one test db (app_test) create many (app_test_0, app_test_1, ...). Run tests in many threads/processes, db per thread.

This works in a lot of cases. In some cases this might not address your bottleneck.

Also someone should write a real, performant, in-memory postgres storage driver. Then we can all be happy (with pg at least).
too bad, I guess, :P

I'm going to have to do more research. I can just say, I haven't seen glass welcome in recycle bins in a long time. It makes me wonder what changed, which types of recycling are subsidized, etc.

Many bottles in the US still say they are subject to a deposit of like 5 cents, but only in certain states. I've never lived anywhere that had an active bottle return program for glass.
I want test with the same API as my database, which means using the same database. Setting up an instance of Postgres/MySQL/whatever isn't hard. Maybe harder if you're using an online database that doesn't fit into a container, but that's a different problem.

We use Testcontainers (https://testcontainers.com/) in our node.js / vitest / kysely stack. Really fast to spin up a temporary postgres instance, and we use kysely migrations to init and seed the db.
I suppose I did not explain that I know all that, but be reassured - I too am an old person.

However assuming an intelligent youngster familiar with English I don't think such a hypothetical person would assume it works like English because some things might remind them of English - given that there is quite a bit that is obviously different than English.

It would take a very strange intelligence to look at their first programming language and say, huh this thing that makes a computer draw a line has some words like English uses but it is obviously not English, I will try to modify it like English.
After all - Python is not Cobol.

I suppose someone with a desire to learn might do so quicker with BASIC, but I am only supposing that seeing the Python code might make them think I CAN LEARN - and sometimes the idea I can learn is the parent of the desire to learn.
Water rights law is very well established, with several different viewpoints. The one I'm most familiar with is the prior appropriation doctrine used in the western US, specifically, New Mexico.

Available water belongs to the public, not landowner. However, water use rights are assignable.

The right to use water goes first to the person with the oldest claim (the "senior appropriator"). You might have no claim to water running through your land, or as a junior appropriator only get access during wet years.

You may not block a senior appropriator from being able to make their appropriated beneficial use of that water.

As regarding pristine or pollution, quoting the NM constitution, 'The protection of the state's beautiful and healthful environment is hereby declared to be of fundamental importance to the public interest, health, safety and the general welfare. The legislature shall provide for control of pollution and control of despoilment of the air, water and other natural resources of this state, consistent with the use and development of these resources for the maximum benefit of the people.'

I'm not a water rights lawyer. Florida water law is very different from New Mexico. I do not know if the NM legislature has passed laws allowing cities to pass stricter pollution laws.
I think that's constant. Look back far enough and there are a lot of questions. A lot of conspiracy theories are based on not understanding how to do things without modern technology. The pyramids are famous for that; people will happily believe aliens helped with them because they can't fathom how level and even they are without a modern laser level and cranes and saws etc.

I'm on the younger end of millenials and I find use in my phone, but could live without. The camera is the biggest one; I still remember how absolutely dreadful dumb phone cameras were and I would strongly prefer not to carry a "real" camera these days. The calendar is also pretty integral. I know I could get by with a paper calendar and thinking ahead, but I'd really prefer not to. A lot of the rest I could get by without. I like Snapchat for the streak feature nudging me to talk to people important to me once a day (though it's always weird to me when 30-somethings are rabid about maintaining them).
In case your genius mind wasn't able to comprehend this amazing concept: the technical implementation of most podcasts in 2000s does not define the concept of a podcast.

Yes, once upon a time, that was the most common way podcasts were distributed. It however wasn't the definition of the word "podcast".

Did you get that, or was that once again too complicated for you?

Which is why any testing involving mocking should have low purity.

You get 90% of benefit from two kinds of tests:
- verifying components work (unit tests)
- verifying the system works from its interface (automation)
If mobile phone conversations over the last 2 decades have taught me anything it's that people talk about anything but battery life and ultimately the crowd ends up doing "whatever means I don't have to put it on the charger twice a day". Especially when the base iPhone SE already has enough storage to fit more text than one could read in their life anyways.
Seems like most of the big drive makers had pretty poor quality on the whole self encrypting part of it, at least last I saw a few years ago.

Mocking the database can be done, but only if you use the database as a generic storage layer. It's not trivial to keep the mocks updated in most applications.

Some ORMs and frameworks provide magic to do this, but as soon as you deviate from the framework it gets complex. You can build geospatial applications, time series, document, and full text search - iow leverage advanced features of Postgres extensions that most ORMs can't touch. Their behaviors can be complex and are part of the application, not simply a storage layer.

USA is a two-party system so come Presidential election time one gets to choose between two options. There are effectively two ways you can choose between two options:

A. you are voting FOR one of the options.

B. you are voting AGAINST the other option - hence by default you must choose the other

there is a significant number of people that are in the B. bucket (in my personal circle 9 out of 20 people fall in B. bucket, 8 of which NEVER voted for a Republican in any election prior to this one) and democratic party needs to think looooong and hard about that before midterms and especially next Presidential election
For sure.

I've also learned that some people just... didn't read the books all that closely, either. Or at least not character descriptions. Two Rivers people are described as being dark eyed and dark haired with fairly dark complexions - probably mediterranean - but people seemed to think they were supposed to look like they were from England, forgetting that Elaida explicitly mentions Rand is too fair skinned in EoTW. Or everyone outraged about Moraine/Siuan, apparently not understanding what RJ meant when he said they were "pillowfriends," despite lots of other fairly explicit hints at what the phrase meant.
Have the details been published anywhere? I looked briefly and only see stuff describing it in general and saying it is yet to be released.
You can just simply run postgres, why bother with pglite?

postgres installs easily on WSL2 or whatever Linux distribution you're using.
What I've done is make a clone of the real database, with a sample of data that has enough variety/size to test whatever it is you need to test, but no bigger. It definitely takes some thinking, planning, and writing of code, but it's worth doing.

Unfortunately I maintain an app where the database (read-only) is Snowflake, and being more of a "warehouse" than "database" there's always a lot of overhead in running any query at all. Even just `select 1` can take a few seconds. So there's only so much you can do with that, but setting up your data so that tests can be parallelized helps as well.

However your tests against a proper OLTP database should be plenty fast, unless your app itself is slow or your test fixtures require some really complicated setup.

Has anyone figured out how to download your data from Bench? In the original email they sent out that announced they were shutting down, they said data would be available to download from http://data.bench.co. But right now, this domain appears to be inactive. When I logged back in, they gave me the option to: give employer.com permission to access my data, or download my data. I selected the former option so that I could access the dashboard, but I'd still like to download my data in case it turns out I would like to migrate to a competing service.
Kepler coined "perihelium" as latin for "point of an orbit closest to the sun" and published it his 1609 book "Astronomia nova aitiologetos", so insisting on 1680 because that's when the spelling with "on" at the end arose is some real pedantic quibbling.

Surely it's more tempting to go for "it should be 415" is more tempting?
Surely Windows keeps the FVEK in RAM regardless of whether the TPM requires a PIN to initially obtain it. Otherwise, wouldn't you need to enter your PIN every time a block from the disk needs decrypting? Not to mention the performance impact of calling the TPM on every disk operation.

This attack reads the key from RAM, so I don't see how a TPM PIN would mitigate it.

That's a very stupid mitigation as you can mess with RAM during the overwrite. Heck, see how Team Tweezers originally exploited the Wii.

The real mitigation is the memory encryption feature of modern CPUs. Being on-die means tweezers won't reach, and being just a key means the wipe is instant and very difficult to mess with even if it survived a power cycle.
It's something like 4 post-tax paychecks for people at minimum wage, even better if they weren't full-time (more common than you might imagine even amongst people trying to move up, since low-wage employers tend to shove hours down so that you don't accumulate overtime if they have to call you in suddenly, and they all want you to work the same busy hours, making truly non-overlapping jobs challenging to come by).

I've been that poor before (never _truly_ struggling like some countries experience, but unable to comfortably afford both food and a roof), and some other units might make that check make more sense:

- 4.5 yrs worth of rice, flour, or beans (the bulk of my diet by weight and by cost)

- 5 months of rent

- 5.5 yrs of electricity (almost all of which went to cooking or refrigeration -- heat was unnecessary unless it was under 0F outside)

- a new-to-me car, enough money for the parts that I'll inevitably have to buy to fix any used car shortly after I buy it, and enough gas to drive to work for a year

When you're struggling paycheck to paycheck, that's a life-changing amount of money. I'd already escaped that life by the time covid hit, but if I hadn't then that might've been my ticket out.

As to how somebody in better circumstances might be "COVID rich"? I can only speculate, but even in the middle class people tend to have a number of "essential" payments: health insurance, mortgage/rent, newish clothes for their kids, you should probably eat a vegetable once in awhile, .... People are living "paycheck to paycheck" in those more comfortable lifestyles, and going from $0 to $2000 in discretionary income is huge. That's a year of weekly date nights at someplace better than McDonald's, a year of monthly date nights at a pretty good steakhouse or other gourmet opportunity, kayaks and road-trip money for the whole family, a very nice clavinova and a few months of lessons, ....

In either case, I suspect the key to understanding is to compare that $2k (really $2.2k-$3.3k in equivalent income depending on relevant tax details) to $0 rather than to total expenses.
This is not a fair comparison though, since you are relying on having some probable non-free software running on the server, while Emacs is able to give you remote editing and keeps your server clean.

You would have to compare what VSCode does to running Emacs server side and connecting with Emacs client to the server. Then it would be a fair comparison.
