You're being misleading. You're including money that the government pays out in social security which is a retirement program and really nothing to do with government except that it's mandated. Ditto for health programs. In the absence of these programs insurance and investment companies would be doing the same.

The real difference is how governments involve themselves in the day to day of the economy and that has to do with regulation and other government interventions.

Small government is mostly ideological dogma since it makes no reference to what government is doing for you. Who wants a "small government" that provides no services to taxpayers?

It's amazing, and quite stupid, that the discussion seems to be so much about the size of government rather than what people are getting for their money and if it is worth the cost.

What is old is new again :) Back when I started development, we did this via git remotes, and some projects even did what you created and created environments mapped from git remotes to apps running with subdomains (like Dokku is probably the first/most memorable FOSS service for this back in the day).

And before that, I'm sure people were doing the same thing with Java WARs or similar, and before that, something else but similar.

True, but we'll probably have a bit of a mess and then he leaves in elections in four years in the normal manner.
The problem is that self hosted apps are rarely designed to be run serverless (why would they be?) and giving each app it’a own VPS or hosted container is going to price out the self-hosted crowd, to the point where you might as well be paying for some cloud software.

In particular, self hosted apps usually are using relational databases or SQLite which need persistent disk so can’t run serverless. They also sometimes require writing to physical disk instead of object storage like S3. Writing or rewriting apps to support serverless when they have no technical need to when self hosting would make things more complicated. Most CRUD frameworks used to write self-hosted apps do not work with NoSQL out of the box.

Thing is, almost every self hosted app supports docker now and so if you like, install portainer on a VPS or NUC or raspberry pi and you’ll be able to set up most self hosted apps easily without touching the command line.
Is this work or non-work?

If its work then have an honest conversation with your manager and get better at saying no (or, at least, not saying yes). If necessary, leave and find a better working environment.

If these projects are filling your non-work life - otherwise known as Your One and Only Life - then recognise that this isn't sustainable. Just stop, give it a few weeks, go for walks, peoplewatch, breathe. Then choose the project that engages you the most, and which you can fit into a healthy part of your free time, and focus on that. Park the rest.
It seems to be rare that we get to choose whose dignity we should prioritize. The common answer to questions like this: we should choose both. Both are important.

Also, it looks like Holmes is being already punished for what she's done. So, no point of adding more on top. The frustrating aspect is that, at least according to the article, is that she still doesn't acknowledge her guilt. But, I don't think we have it in the criminal law to punish people second time if they disagree with the first punishment. It's upsetting that someone does that, but it's not a crime.
When people discuss things like “Do LLMs know about this?” On a public website I always think that it’s the equivalent of somebody whose phone is wiretapped calling their friend and asking if the FBI knows about something.
Traditionally, tests have been metered that way because of costs (expensive reagents, preparation, processing) or side effects (radiation from scans).

But the actual relevant equation is {cost of testing} vs {cost of delayed treatment}

If the cost of testing, in economic and health senses, decreases while the cost of delayed treatment holds constant, a different mass deployment optimal point is created.

Thankfully broader proactive testing is also in insurance companies' financial interests, given the high costs of late stage cancer treatment.

Why does it seem as though some people believe there is an infinite supply of rich people?

Income disparity is so great that the cost of parking is irrelevant to the mythical army of rich people waiting off to the side for parking prices to come down.

I'm not even in the 99%, I'm in the 97% and I don't give a fuck about parking. I'm driving downtown to buy a $600 Barbour jacket from Orvis. I don't care about $20 for parking and I'm not coming downtown more often if parking is $0.

I've worked in construction for years and we never used impact drivers for wood screws.

I could see some use cases for them with really large wood screws, but the Makita drill I used was beefy as shit and never had any trouble. Maybe it's better for big screws but I can't really see why you'd use them for small screws.

Since pancreatic cancer would have to be detected before any symptoms occur for this to be useful, the test would have to be applied to everyone. The incidence of PC is 1 per 10,000 per year. If the test is applied once per year, then for every true positive result there would be 200 false positives (actually worse, since it only detects PC 3/4 of the time.)

Lots of similarities.

"Europe is diverse enough that you need to split it into quadrants to decide what countries are relatively similar"

The same is true for South Asia, but if you look at it from a western perspective you see the similarities.

There are plenty of similarities across Europe. Shared attitudes to sex, politics, religion..... things like freedom of worship and separation of church and state (laws restricting freedom of worship even in secular democracies like India, let alone the Middle East or China), attitudes to sex and sexuality (and ideas and definitions and identities linked to them - although this is changing because of Western influence, historically the idea of people having a fixed sexual orientation is a modern western one, for example)....

That the American Bar Association, a voluntary, for-profit organization which mostly involves itself with issues concerning the American legal education and otherwise lobbys on behalf of its dues paying members, doesn't administer any bar exams—only the state governments do within their respective jurisdictions—aside... If you mean to refer to this statement made by its president:

"The American Bar Association supports the rule of law. That means holding governments, including our own, accountable under law. We stand for a legal process that is orderly and fair. We have consistently urged the administrations of both parties to adhere to the rule of law. We stand in that familiar place again today. And we do not stand alone. Our courts stand for the rule of law as well."

I agree 100% that adherence to the rule of law is what separates the United States, Canada, most of Europe, and Oceania from pretty much the rest of the world.

They appear to be interested in monetary flow, for which such questions are irrelevant.

Even if the top level suggestion of 2 trillion eliminated fell entirely on people providing zero economic output (i.e. the cuts consisted of completely eliminating social security and all military/veteran pensions), and thus the private sector has no desire to absorb them at step 1, and consequently 2 and 3 didn't apply at all, the private sector still looses that much in revenue.

People aren't doing most of their browsing in incognito, so it's not going to be something Google cares much about tracking you in.

> You can make the same argument for any compiled language if you call QEMU your runtime.

Only if you ship a QEMU-compatible image, and I don't think anyone does. The usability and integration with the host system is too poor.

> Games written in compiled languages know to bundle all their dependencies. Games written in Java often expect you to have a JRE.

You can't get away from having to have some interface between the host system and the program, but so far the JVM is the least bad one. When laptops started shipping with ARM processors, both docker images and games that had compiled in their dependencies broke, while programs that were shipped as JARs worked fine.
> Are the bits and bytes that make up our book reviews, photos, and short-form shouts into the void really so important? I say yes. These digital ephemera are part of our legacy.

Death and grief are challenging experiences and I certainly don't want to diminish anyone's suffering. That said, I prefer to take the opposite approach and acknowledge that digital ephemera are truly not very important, with the small exception of a relatively short period (<10 years) after your death. I don't exactly have a "solution" in mind, but I reject the notion that we should preserve online artifacts forever as part of an individual's legacy.

I don't think the author was necessarily suggesting that online artifacts should be preserved forever, but this line stuck out to me and I felt that I didn't agree with the sentiment.

The dominant "principle" at work in American politics domestically and in foreign relations and trade today is only this: "might makes right."

As their neighbours to the north we recognize this as always having been there in the form of "manifest destiny" and talk of "God's Favoured Nation" and "greatest nation on earth" and so on, and were on the receiving end of this mindset in 1812 and prior and other times... but there's also always been (small-l) liberal counter-veiling forces that led to a more just balance and the encouragement of trade and legality and constitutionality and cultural interchange over dominance and control (for some).

What we've seen from the American people is that at least 50% of them now want those guard rails completely removed. I see it all over comments sections on social media now. A bully mentality. Appeals to justice or sanity are met with a Nelson Muntz "ha-ha" and "what are you going to do about it?"

It's very hard to feel hopeful right now.
In the US, asymptomatic people 50+ are routinely screened for colon cancer with a much more expensive and invasive process. A cheap blood test for another major killer seems pretty reasonable to add in.

yes. my experience is that an LLM will sometimes suggest an interesting approach that breaks my pattern of thought enough to get me to a better solution. but the ones i primarily use (claude sonnet and chatgpt 4o) also seem to love suggesting CTEs which help readability but it depends on the RDBMS (and other things) as to whether or not they offer any real performance benefit.

that’s a long way of saying that LLMs are a tool in this space but not yet a full solution, in my opinion and experience

Right. All this breathless speculation over authoritarianism is bullcrap when what's actually going on is rooting out deeply entrenched bureaucracy, cleaning up corruption and waste, and securing the borders. The fact that the Trump administration is complying with judicial orders (many of which are unconstitutional on their face) that will be overturned on appeal is evidence that these are not authoritarian moves.

President Trump was voted in to do what he's doing. The fact that the Democrats are screaming bloody murder about him doing things they don't like doesn't suddenly transform the actions into authoritarianism.

> Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in democracy, separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law. -- Wikipedia

Strong-arm tactics to preserve the power of the state and entrench one-party control were what was happening under the previous two Democrat administrations. What's happening now is a dismantling of those control structures in government. The funneling of billions of dollars out through NGOs and back in to DNC coffers and news organizations is stopping and the people on the gravy train are flipping out. Good.
Yes, this distributed radio idea is a feature of both 5G and 6G. You stick the dumbest, dullest parts of the radio electronics up on the tower and trunk them all back over fiber to an aggregation/control point a few kms away, and then trunk the agg points back to the packet core a few hundreds of km away. That needs a lot of fiber to carry the backhaul. I dont know if operators are thinking of using this fiber to also incidentally deliver broadband service, but today that doesnt happen: for one, oftentimes the mobile operator doesnt own the fiber, they just lease it.

Both can be true. I have been integrating a lot of different sides of myself and the long work of therapy is finally starting to coalesce into a real results.

But, also, a part of me died during our attempts to have another kid. At some point it just broke me in that dimension. I have doubts that it can be fully healed. It is grief, and it demands space and an outlet sometimes. And it hurts from time to time. It's no longer debilitating, but it is still there.
If you can cheaply test everyone, and narrow down the number of people requiring more expensive testing, you can potentially, at scale, detect and limit negative health outcomes. There is both an economic and societal benefit to testing and treating people.
