Writing is a great technique to better understand subject. When you try to explain it, you start to find all the gaps that need reinforcing. You go read, and come back to continue writing.

Okay, but again, it's a far cry from "the price doubles" to "make these in your backyard or you will not have them".

To make a good, efficient solar panel requires materials and equipment incompatible with backyard manufacture, especially in a collapse scenario.

It's a neat hobby, but if your goal is just "have solar panels", you are strictly better off buying them than making them.

Hello! I'm the creator of Gleam.

> It seems to be a direct riff on Haskell's "do notation" syntax sugar

It's not this at all! It may seem this way at first as Gleam's `use` is used in many of the same places as Haskell's `do`, but `use` is a much more general syntax which is used for a much wider array of things. They also work very differently, `do` being constrained by types and laws, while `use` being purely a syntactic feature with no type restrictions or laws.

That's a pretty weak ass argument friend.
This is, by the way, one of those problems the Cloud solved, because management couldn’t use friction with the procurement and operations departments to try to pin you into oversubscribing machines. Cloud computing usually leaves the barn door open so that you can requisition another server and ask forgiveness later. And I think at some level developers all know this, so we went along with the dope deal. Because fuck Operations and Accounting for making us the scapegoats to problems they cause.
I remember loving Skype before Microsoft bought it. I started using it very early on. It was amazing. I remember they had something like public groups (I forget the name). Think of it like a Twitter Space. I was in there every day.

And it isn’t just your _appearance_ or _pay_ you should be worrying about. If you fix a nitpicky bug that affected 5% of the users — congrats that’s a pretty big bug! But could you have built a new feature that would roll out to 50% of users in that same time? In many situations, building the new feature will have a bigger impact on the world than the bug fix. Obviously will depend on the exact circumstance. But you should consider the opportunity cost.
It's not like you have a choice. Thread safety doesn't compose. A function that only uses thread-safe constructs may not itself be thread safe. This means that using concurrent data structures isn't any sort of guarantee, and doesn't save you from having to think about concurrency. It will prevent you from running into certain kinds of bugs, and that may be valuable, but you'll still have to do your own work on top.

If you're doing that anyway, it tends to be easier and more reliable to forget about thread safety at the bottom, and instead design your program so that thread safety happens in larger blocks, and you have big chunks of code that are effectively single-threaded and don't have to worry about it.

Yes, but…I suppose you have to pick your battles. There was recently a problem vexing me about a Rails project I maintain where the logs were filled with complaints about “unsupported parameters”, even though we painstakingly went through all the controllers and allowed them. It’s /probably/ benign, but it adds a lot of noise to the logs. Several of us took a stab at resolving it, but in the end we always had much higher priorities to address. Also it’s hard to justify spending so many hours on something that has little “business value”, especially when
there is currently no functional impact.

It’s a nuisance issue sorta like hemorrhoids. Do you get the surgery and suffer weeks of extreme pain, or do you just deal with it? Hemorrhoids are mostly benign, but certainly have the potential to become more severe and very problematic. Maybe this phenomenon should be called digital hemorroids?

Reuter's timeline: https://www.reuters.com/world/ukraine-russia-war/trump-zelen...

To state the obvious, the Trump administration is more interested in profiting from a minerals deal than supplying any actual security guarantees. The Russian Federation has proved time and time again that they will breach any peace agreements (as occurred with the current invasion which breached agreements bartered after the annexation of Crimea) made with Ukraine for piecewise annexation of their neighbors, at any price to their own soldiers and people.

True lasting peace, is avoiding further steps to another world war. It takes hardly a high school education in history to recognize those preliminary warning signs in Russia's behavior. A common talking point that the Trump administration seems to use, is that they are doing precisely that- preventing a world war- by refusing to further arm and protect Ukraine with weapons and security guarantees- however this refusal does just the opposite, and this minerals deal really has nothing to do with Ukraine's security or interests. The devil is in the details, and the Trump admin refuses to detail how the minerals deal would protect Ukraine or how they would respond to further territorial incursions if the deal were to be signed.

Aside from all this, of course there's a lot of topical nonsense in how Trump and Vance conducted themselves, with shouting and lecturing at Zelensky, but these are all distractions, and they have almost no substance or details to back their broad claims about how or why this conflict started and what would end it. Scapegoating and bullshitting seems to be their game, but luckily Zelensky both asserted himself where possible and kept a relatively calm, but brutally honest, demeanor.

Because the security threats to America would come a bit later, likely in the form of Russia marching into a NATO country, Americans will believe what they want about the conflict. Trump makes this especially easy with his false and misleading oversimplifications. It is sad to think that a proportionally small sacrifice by the American taxpayer to help a country like Ukraine has been sized up as unworthy collateral for saving lives and fighting fascism.

We used this approach to great effect when we migrated a huge legacy project from Javascript to Typescript. It gives you enough flexibility in the in between stages so you're not forced to change weird code you don't know right away, while enforcing enough of a structure to eventually make it out alive in the end.

Unfortunately I think it plays well for their audience, makes Trump and Vance look strong, and makes Zelenksy look week.
I'm not sure that would go very well for Putin just now. The Russians are already supplying their troops with donkeys as they've run low on vehicles just fighting Ukraine. (https://metro.co.uk/2025/02/07/putin-resorts-using-donkeys-f...)

Even if the US did nothing, rolling into NATO lands would put them up against the UK, Germany, France. Poland et al as well as Ukraine.

The worry is more that a ceasefire is called. Russia rearms and succeeds in taking over Ukraine and then a combined Ukraine and Russia attacks Europe with President Vance supporting Putin.
> OTP in Gleam is what took me the most effort to figure out. The hexdocs cover the basics but that wasn’t enough for me to get the concepts right, especially where they differed from their Erlang counterparts.

This was the biggest thing I noticed as well- core OTP concepts like gen_servers and supervision trees aren't covered in the language tour, the docs, or even the "Gleam for Erlang Users" page... it makes sense that it's missing if it's pre-1.0, but I was very confused when I didn't find anything about it at all.
Most countries definitely do not have nukes. There are a handful that could have them in secret, or that maintain the materials to make them immediately if needed. But all of those combined would amount to no more than a few dozen, small, nuclear weapons. There are not a thousand Tsar Bomba size nukes secreted away.

If the US and Russia stood down and the rest of the world let loose all of their nukes, it would be insufficient to cause sufficient damage to the technological integrity of our species such that backyard solar manufacture becomes viable.
These things all seemed like possibilities, but not certainties. And some of them did at least partly come to be: there was an attempted Muslim travel ban, and abortion was banned in vast swaths of the US. The internment camps are definitely being talked about seriously.

Further, the 2016 list wouldn't have possibly guessed "will badly mishandle a pandemic, turning the US into one of its worst victims", but that is indeed what happened. He didn't outlaw gay marriage, but he did ban trans people from the military.

We did benefit from one important thing: his incompetence prevented him from accomplishing much of anything in his term. He has now had time to prepare -- or rather, the right-wing think tanks have had time to prepare. He's implementing their priorities as fast as he can.
With the Alt key, that adjusts the width of all columns.
If you watch the video of the exchange, it was a complete setup. Zelensky was being very diplomatic when they started attacking him. Vance literally said he didn't need to visit Ukraine to see for himself because he "had seen videos".

Zelensky was brought here specifically to be publicly humiliated on live TV.

In 80 years, if we still have history books, this moment will be in them.

JS being the monolithic tyrant that other tyrants see with envy doesn't help.

In the server and elsewhere you have several major langs with big enough sub-cultures and a stablished ethos of sharing, even if that mean the second biggest tyrant of C.

JS developers overshadow any other tribe, so that mean that population could have much less exposure to polyglot alternatives.

And then all that libraries, that are made to make sad any FFI you can trow at it.
Interesting, thanks for highlighting. It does seem like a good set of patterns for the language to cater to. Agree the syntax feels a bit unintuitive at first glance (as opposed to something like `with` context managers in Python, though lack of async probably makes things simpler there).

Article title: Trump administration retreats in fight against Russian cyber threats
This seems like a very narrow niche, shoppers who order en route to a store already. If you order a little while ahead and wait for it to be ready, then you're fine. If you don't order ahead and just shop when you get there, no issue.

Most other stores do the same thing BTW. They need time to get your order, process it, have an employee go grab it, confirm the order and set it aside for pickup. In busy stores, this can take some time. If I'm ordering things from REI or Best Buy, for example, it can often take either a few minutes or a few hours for my order to be ready.
One idea I had for open source games like this is AI experiments or training. Many people have been using Starcraft. If not it, they often use games that are nowhere near mainstream quality.

My idea was to have games in various genres with different skills required, like planning or physical abilities. Then, set each one up to work with just the engine in a way where game state is easy to interact with. For instance, no graphics or pop-up menus. Then, iterative experiments, like genetic programming or neural networks, could run much faster. Later, a common interface to many of them, like human senses, might let them be used to build general knowledge for AGI experiments.

Curious what people think of this. Especially a few exemplars in each category modified to just run really fast. For each, maybe training data on top of it that shows how to play the game. Seems like a cheaper option for testing architectures vs games not designed to do this.

I think you may be leaning too far in the other direction.

I'm a troubleshooter. I fix problems. I keep my head straight in a crisis. Every job I've had across 3 decades, regardless of my actual title or formal responsibilities, I'm the firefighter. People call me when they can't figure something out. People call me when something big breaks and needs to be fixed urgently. Even if I'm not an expert in the broken thing, they call me in. They call me because the experts are often floundering and not making any progress because they can't troubleshoot their way out of a wet paper bag.

I do not feel this has held me back professionally. I have been loved by management and peers in all of these jobs. When I nearly left a prior employer because much of the work wasn't aligned with what I wanted to do, management created a new role with better aligned work and higher pay to convince me to stay. In my current role, I'm very happy with my salary, working environment, management, and team.

I wish troubleshooting skills were as common as typing and document formatting skills. I wouldn't need to help out nearly as many people because they could handle their own crises.
The author has discovered a flavor of the Poison Pill. More common in event sourcing systems, it’s a message that kills anything it touches, and then is “eaten” again by the next creature that encounters it which also dies a horrible death. Only in this case it’s live-locked.

Once the data structure gets into the illegal state, every subsequent thread gets trapped in the same logic bomb, instead of erroring on an NPE which is the more likely illegal state.

DNA methylation means adding one or more methyl groups to the DNA, so technically it is an alteration. But most people would assume that altering a gene specifically means changing the "letters" of the gene sequence that encode the protein, and that's not what DNA methylation does.

Maybe I'd not realised how much the browser space has shrunk and that
the experience of "browsing", the abstract task, now breaks down
into more specialised tasks.

I'm thinking lately the myth of the "browser" and "web" as coherent
data spaces is something even Sir Tim gave up on, right? If the
centre cannot hold constellations of specialised clients (which are
already "apps" in a sense) look like enduring in the near future at
the expense of interoperability and standards. The "best browser" will
be the one that strikes the most deals with the parts of the network
people want to connect to. It's just like the best "game console".

That seems really bleak for the Internet qua people's network.

No doubt http/s and the worlds of port 80/443 will endure eternal, but
the "Universal" search and information space the pioneers and then
proto-Google aspired to now seems so remote that the idea of a
"browser" is itself a little ridiculous to beards like me. I think
today the "browser" has become a clique of PKI suites and CAs, at the
behest of banking and retail, backed by broken but well meaning
regulation, and unwittingly creating this monster we still call "The
Browser". anyway, peace.

I am disagreeing with that, yes. If you look at BEV sales, there are no Chinese vendors in the top ten; looks like the Tesla sales went to BMW, VW AG, and Toyota. Maybe Nissan to some extent. Tesla sales would generally shift to other BEVs, not hybrids.

MG is basically just noise in the broader market. Like, a whole 2.3%!

One piece of context that you may be missing is that hybrids are the single biggest chunk of the European market, about 40% (I gather they’re way smaller in the US), so MG’s 2.3% isn’t hugely impressive.
I distinctly remember IE 5.x and 6.x on Windows and Mac OS with no tab support while Mozilla then Firefox (which had a much smaller users base) had them, at a period where HTML frames were still big.

Assumedly, a paid version would exclude some features that Mozilla is otherwise monetizing through (like selling your data). This doesn't seem like sales "on top of" what they're already earning, but rather an alternative that replaces (at least some of) existing monetization routes.

This is an extremely pedantic distinction, especially since the article as a whole is pretty clear.
