The parent's quip was that you can't rise to the top of the field. My point is that it's irrelevant.

Textbooks used in college coursework are usually written by academics, for obvious reasons. Plenty of independent learning / pop textbooks are written by "normal people" who aren't tenured professors.
Some ISPs can provide you a static IP either for free or by paying a premium.
I'm not really interested in these setups that combine postfix, dovecot, opendkim etc. Those aren't what I consider modern all-in-one email servers.
> I prefer my economic takes from economists, or people who actually study these things.

Keynesian economists and now mmt advocates are the reason that most of the productivity gains of the last hundred years have ended up in the hands of a few hundred people while most struggle.

I'd say it's high time to stop listening to these people who are nothing more than useful idiots of the elites.
How is that useful for this analysis? I agree it might be interesting in the abstract, and probably interesting for an investor choosing how to deploy capital. But I don't think it has any impact on the argument. Clearly there is a high cost to deploying existing charging stalls. Lowering that cost would clearly increase infrastructure rollout.
What you have is really great. Hoeever, if I had a small rack server in a data center, I wouldn't be able to call it self-hosted with a straight face, unless I had an uncle who owns a 60% share of the data center or something.

> If you took 1,000 people like my wife and put them on an island, you'd recreate America--including the parts of America I find perplexing and frustrating. I'm not persuaded that if you took 1,000 people like me and put them on an island you'd recreate America.

That depends on the constituents of your sample. I doubt a city girl from New York and a farm boy from East Tennessee would have the same approach to life in this hypothetical thousand-person colony. They'll likely work and trade together as needed, but they would otherwise form and primarily associate with their own sociopolitical milieu, thus forming cultural enclaves.

In short, I don't think you could really create another USA without the historical happenstances, upheavals, and transformations that changed country from a collection of colonies primarily divided on religious grounds to a unified secular republic.
“Americans have had democracy for so long they now take it for granted.” - an EU friend of mine.

The peaceful transfer of power is not common in human history. It’s a miracle it’s gone on as long as it has in the US.

I don't agree with the proposed solutions, but the problem is 100% on point.
I'm hoping to make this easier in the future, more often automatically taking care of updates. In the past, you've had to run a command/script here or there to fix up date, but that should all be done automatically.

My talk at FOSDEM was about this for a good part, https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5364-mox-....

If you have suggestions on how to make it less choreful to maintain, I'm interested in hearing it! Also if you had specific issues about maintenance/updates.
If you removed the word “bitcoin” and just created a hypothetical word like “currency X” and focused on its pros and cons, then you could abstractly identify why it would be good or bad.

Transfer speed - X would need to be fast.

Difficulty to counterfeit - X would need to be fraud proof.

How easy it is to custody - X would need to be easy to store with minimal cost.

Inflation - X would need a predictable inflation rate and immune to politics.

If you judge dollars, gold, and bitcoin by such a measure, I would argue Bitcoin holds up well
> then you don’t want to pay to ship gold to Mars

yeah it would cost more to ship it to Mars then it would cost to get a team of the most expensive contractors you can find to dig it out of the surface of Mars with their bare hands.

Not to mention the absurdity of thinking crypto would be more usable over interplanetary internet than VISA/ACH, or that such a society on Mars, when more than a research outpost, would benefit at all from being economically bound and gagged to a distant terrestrial currency.

> Crypto solves that issue.

Asteroid mining solves the issue. Gold will be functionally unlimited. Cryptocurrency will be long forgotten in history books after the first self sustaining space colony exists.
Bro, I owned a /23 at a colo for over 10 years. Registered my ip space with ARIN, had abuse contacts, setup a mail server on a /27 on a /24 that remained mostly unused outside of dev and test servers (strictly controlled). The mail server was also strictly configured to never emit a single email that wasn’t sent by me. So no forwards, no bounces etc.

Mail server still gets blocked by random domains. Nope. Done with hosting email. Everyone assumes you are spam and won’t accept your mail unless you pay them (to be your mail provider).
I'd suggest switching from a blacklist to a whitelist mindset. In this case, allow the printer only access to the local network.

So why is this only happening now
It's about combinations of skills.

0.01%ers in one field tend towards monomaniacal obsession.

Sometimes that's useful. But having mostly depth, and enough breadth to balance it out, is better in most cases than depth only.

People who are all breadth, no depth are worse. Those traits give you MBAs and politicians. That doesn't mean breadth is inherently bad, it's about balance.

The sweet-spot is typically to get inside the top 1% and get 75th or 90th percentile people skills or communication skills. Those can take a lot of different forms, good writers / managers / youtubers / teachers are all in that class but there's not necessarily that much overlap.
Thank you - would be happy about your feedback once you had the time to test it.

Regarding long term plans: I think there are some interesting opportunities in adding integrations for other apps like Obsidian for example. But also open for suggestions / thoughts you might have.
Thanks for the detailed follow-up. I now understand very well what you meant.

> it feels at times like entire community wants to pretend that there aren’t any flaws or downsides with the language.

Yeah, the delusion of version 2.0 perfection is strong from Golang thought leaders. It is nauseating to read about. Like the whole resistance to generics, then finally giving in, then finally saying "Yeah, we definitely need these." So... the last 8(?) years of blogging against generics... what about that? Another comment below used the phrase "gas-lighting the users" which seems appropriate here.

Deeper: This will be controversial to some readers here. I wonder if the reason why the "entire community" resists criticism so fiercely is that Rob Pike has a very public profile and "infinite Internet (reputation) points", so no one can beat that final boss. I'm not saying that Rob Pike would use his Internet boss powers to kill off any critics, but I do think it does repress some critics. Also, his style and opinions are very strong.

All said, as a non-Golang writer, but avid reader, I am still very impressed by how carefully that Golang was developed. It could have gone so much worse (C++?
JavaScript?), or the community been much more toxic/unwelcoming, e.g., Rust. Overall: It is a huge win for current and future programmers.
This is not very hard to fix. Automatically downloading and applying public IP reputation blocklists cuts down on this by like 95%. The rest you can catch pretty trivially either with server-side filtering or just filter in the client. I do bad-IP filtering, but not spamassassin/rspamd. The client-side filtering in Mail.app kills nearly 100% of the few spam messages that get through.
Economics isn’t a science though. There’s no scientific rigour to any central banks actions.

Google literally tried to have parents locked up for using an Android device to seek medical assistance for their child during lockdown.

Google was spying on the photos they took to send to their doctor, and Google's AI, based on a single false positive, decided they were guilty of kiddie porn.

Even after the police cleared them, Google refused to restore access to their account.

I believe it is very comparable to PGSync in the way it works (schema-based CDC), the main differences are:

- PGSync is a full-stack solution and PG-Sync is "just" a library. PGSync will work out of the box while PG-Capture will require more setup but you'll get more flexibility

- PGSync does not let you choose where you get your data from, it handles everything for you. PG-Capture lets you source events from Debezium, WAL-Listener, PG directely...

- PGSync is only meant to move data from PG to Elastic or Open-Search. While this use-case is perfectly feasible with PG-Capture, you can use it for many more things: populating cache, indexing into Algolia, sending events to an event bus...

All in all, the main difference is that PG-Capture is agnostic of the stack you want as input and output, allowing you to do pretty much anything while PGSync is focused on indexing data from PG to Elastic. I hope that clears things up!
Can you give an example of countries listening to MMT economists?
I don't think your argument here is so much logical as it is emotional. I'm not judging or criticizing for that, it's an emotional issue at its core.

I think you could have a very, very high threshold for administering euthanasia though, which would be a long cry from having public suicide booths ala Futurama.
I remember when Java was exciting. There were several attempts at open source Java OSes like JOS (https://jos.sourceforge.net/). A Java applet runtime for the PalmPilot. My thesis on dynamic aliasing protection was based on a dynamic Java-esque runtime. But... Java got a reputation for being heavyweight.

And yes, as others have said, instead we got the modern web, with (for example) web based word processors requiring orders of magnitude more compute power than a desktop of the early Java era.
I never let my printer near the Internet. It goes on the "fucking trash" subnet which has no route out. Mine's an HP but it complains occasionally that it can't get new firmware which makes me feel warm inside.

it's interesting that you use the word "adult" here. my father was also a violent narcissist, and appearance was the most important thing. he too would invent causes to be offended about when reason wasn't sufficient to crush somebody. I'm very familiar with the kind of adult you're referring to.
Have people not noticed that Trump seems to habitually make hyperbolic and ridiculous sounding statements?

Like it’s not doing him any favors, I tend to feel it’s some kind of personality defect.

Though it did get him a lot of attention in the past, which substantially led to him becoming president.

Either he can’t turn it off, or the decade plus of increasingly internet centric media exposure among the general population just selected for a guy who had obvious populist but not too radical views and also makes ridiculous statements to get attention.

Greenland will not be taken by force. The reminder of a possibility of force may be used as leverage in the negotiation. The messaging is kind of whacky, but it would make sense to broadcast the threat widely to achieve credibility. Like “he’s so crazy he might just pull the trigger”.
I do security. It does not make me an expert in economics. In fact I know, even with no real economics education past high school, why going back to the gold standard is generally unworkable.

Have you lived in Denmark, Japan, China, Netherlands and some other countries in the past 10-15 years? I really don’t think you weigh in people’s personal preferences and general quality of life into your equations.

There is a very big reason why there’s no more large swaths of immigrants from European and some Asian countries flocking into the US. Yes there is some, but the times when it was objectively much better to live and grow in the states is in the past. Money is really not the only thing people care about, but it’s hard to understand for people for whom money is the only thing they care about.

15+ years hosting email on the same ip space with strict security process. Numerous numerous numerous blocks, black holes, and spam routing. This was personal.

Worked for a company self hosting famous brand emails. They would get blocked too. Imagine telling the band manager of a famous classic rock band that their email to their label was being rejected due to being black listed for spam.. (cc’ing the managers team)

Stop fooling yourself, it does not work fine. If it did you would not rely on that google outlook or yahoo account
Seems reasonable. I have been thinking about schemes for backup mx'es. When the primary is online, the backup would just forward the smtp connections to the primary directly. The backup mx only has to do their own work when the primary is down. I was/am concerned about the backup mx accepting spam that you don't really want to bounce later on. But that should be an exception.

I am also thinking about synchronizing all the data to another machine. It would allow a manual failover procedure. And it's nice to have another machine (IP) for outgoing email in case the primary IP gets on a block list. But this is all future work.

What about effortless manipulation? I have CapsLock as Control and shell manipulation has become easier with readline keybinds. I can touchtype but, the extra keys are always at a different place so I don't bother learning their emplacement.

I tried to give a detailed comparison with PGSync in another comment. But in a nutshell, PG to Elastic is just one use-case for PG-Capture. The goal for PG-Capture is to be a schema-based Change-Data-Capture utility for Postgres that lets you integrate into your existing stack.

It has no opinion on what you should use to capture low-level events (Debezium, WAL-Listener...) and what you should do with the resulting high-level events (indexation, caching, event bus..).

I am pitching it as a PG to Elastic tool simply because it is a widespread use-case that everyone understands.
You should investigate Gmail do not fully implement IMAP standard so any attempts to migrate from it will need some concessions to be made.

You seem to believe I was talking specifically about the military. Taiwan isn't Ukraine. China has infiltrated the every day lives etc over the years. It's not unified.

The chaos just from the everyday citizens, protests, etc might cause enough trouble for the military / government. Those aren't "air-gapped".

I swear, “Chinese collapse” has been on the news headlines since 2000s. At some point people need to give up on the idea that their system doesn’t work. Yes, it sucks from our perspective, because we would have less rights and freedom. But quality of life of an average Chinese has been increasing YoY, despite some hiccups. They obviously screw up big time (pandemic lockdowns, current above average youth unemployment), but they don’t mind pivoting hard. Baseless hate when a country fails to compete is just sad to watch as an outsider who has no skin in the game.

With the cuts Doge has made the baby kill count is bound to become non-zero.
Part of the article is claiming that the rollout of EV charging is slowed by the large capital cost, and about how to reduce that capital cost.

But without comparing to existing ICE refuelling, which is what EV charging replaces/stands alongside, there's no real identification as to whether the capital costs actually are slowing the rollout.

What is driving the rollout is demand not supply. Of course, they're related, but EV fast charging will tend to be for distance travel, not commuting.

Commuters will plug in at home (or at work) and standard L1 charging is going to be "enough".

So EV charging will be for distance, on major highways etc.

How much is a highway "services" installation, where refuelling/recharging is combined with food or other services, an actual limitation of capital cost of the recharging compared to other capital costs?
Unrestricted immigration for basically anyone who can prove their mettle (whether by educational attainment, rigorous aptitude testing or just by earning money) is ballsy but could work.

Two things:

- It's dangerous for the manager's career to lose the ability to code. After five years they will have regressed nearly to a Jr engineer's ability and would need significant effort to get back into interviewing shape. I've interviewed so many managers who didn't like management or aren't quite good enough to stay in the management track who can't even remember how an if statement works.

- Small companies and early startups are much more likely to need engineers over politicians, so the manager working on engineering is much more helpful in smaller teams.

In my experience in all pretty small companies, keeping hands on the keyboard was essential for me and the team. This was great because I got tired of being a manager and wanted to go back to pure engineer again.
