When it comes to Postgres extensions for columnar storage, I like how Citus [1] handles the more general problem of columnar tables instead of focusing just on "hypertables" which necessarily must have a time column as primary key.

I think implicit coercions are a semantics issue, not an issue of implementation details.

An example of intransitive implicit coercions: perhaps you have designed a language such that there is an implicit coercion from Booleans to integers (perhaps producing either 0 or 1), and also an implicit coercion from nullable references to Booleans. Arguably you have already sinned, but the situation becomes far worse if you apply transitive closure to the implicit coercions, because now a nullable reference to the integer 53 can be implicitly coerced to an integer—but the integer is 1, not 53!
They did mention it outright by saying something along the lines of “remote into”. I don’t see this being a show stopper for the use case.

> “Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”

Clearly disingenuous reporting. He's saying they didn't kill them directly (true), not that they are not responsible. Another way to read it, is that the people who carried out the killings are also to be blamed, not just the guy who gave the order.

Also, why, out of that quote, did you only single out the holocaust? Stalin and Mao both have killed considerably more than the holocaust, so why did you only focus on "claiming Hitler wasn’t responsible for the Holocaust"?

It looks like an absolutely brutal way to edit video[1], even with an incredible internet connection. This is a compromise courtesy of the reality of the Apple hardware ecosystem and not some sort of ideal way of working.

Which is a large reason why I don’t think dev teams should be managing DBs. It’s rare that anyone actually understands them, much less proper administration, configuration, tuning, etc.

If you have no other choice because you’re a tiny startup, then fine, but at least show the DB the respect it deserves, and read its documentation. You wouldn’t (I hope) write and run code when you had no idea how it worked, or what the potential ramifications were, so don’t do it for the rest of your tools.
Do you plan on making source code available? (Or: how can users verify that this is not malware?)
Yea, I hate that. Words are pronounced differently in foreign languages. Do we say Moscow or Moskwa? Do we say ka-tana or ka-ta-na? If Freud is not spoken with the typical Gemran diphthong, then suddenly someone comes along and corrects you. I do speak German, I know how Freud is pronounced and I will pronounce it as it should be pronounced when speaking German, but when speaking English, it is Frood for me.

So, I am with you. We shouldn't learn the pronunciation of 200 different languages. If Kirchhoff's laws sound like Captain Kirk, who the fuck cares. Different languages pronounce stuff differently.
Not sure that will swing it, have a look at https://github.com/JohnEarnest/Mako/tree/master
Which is basically a Forth for games, that runs on the JVM, and in the browser.

The issue as I see it, is that you have to have a model of the datastack in your head at all times. That's fine for your own code, but for other people's code, stack diagrams will only take you so far.

The ability to scan code, rather than reading it, allow you to mentally drill down when you are ready. Forth requires immersion.

Something like https://xorvoid.com/forsp.html I'm guessing is really the bridge. Something that allows variables without being too complex.

I appreciate this effort and am surprised by the negative sentiment. I evaluated the big 3 frameworks (Laravel, Django, and Rails) last year and Django felt like the worst of the lot.

I really wanted to like Django more since I use python at $dayjob, but it seemed so far behind Laravel and Rails terms of DX and features. Also the ecosystem seemed fragmented and a lot of packages looked stale.

For example, I remember having to piece together a static files pipeline for Django with whitenoise, how is that not included by default?

Additionally the issues around the user model are bizarre, near the very end of the docs they tell you to override the user model to fix it. Wat.

Lastly Django templates felt super limiting, Livewire/Laravel and Hotwire/Rails gives you so much out of the box.

I ended up choosing Rails to start building side web apps, their move to SQLite-first and the whole “Solid” suite of tools is rad. Specifically Solid Queue is awesome! I noped out of Django when I saw how intense the docs for setting up celery were.

Hoping this spurs some activity in the Django-sphere, I would love if Django felt more complete like Rails!

the point they make is that if you're using a remote desktop program to remotely edit videos you don't need a mac on the client side.

what would have been a far better PR is if Final Cut offered enterprise solution with "server" part that holds videos and does the heavy lifting and "client" part that works with miniatures doesn't let you export anything to disk and all that
Interesting results, and I’m glad these folks were able to find relief. I just feel there’s also something deeply important about the emotional and non-verbal connection you have between patient and clinician that I just can’t see AI being able to replicate.

The politicians are purchased, they may even have shares.
Definitely what I'm saying. But the point about libraries which don't own data is also valid and those can be useful as services in some cases. Particularly when we are talking about something like a set of business rules to follow.

At a bare minimum, if there's some sort of mutable data involved then I think there should be a single service that owns it. But I could also see reasons to create services which don't involve mutable data.

It does somewhat come down to complexity though. Like, for example, I think a "matrix multiplier" service would be silly. Or even just a general "do-math" service. But a service that, for example, takes in raw video and spits out compressed video? Now we are talking about something that probably is better as a service and not a library as you likely want to do things like control encoding values and standards system wide.

Just a little about my background. The systems I worked on, for example, shared user information using the `user-lib` library which contained all the details of how to fetch (and insert, and update) a user from the users table. Many services used that library to pull user information which has been a mess to untangle.
For context, I've been a leader in various (American) Evangelical churches over the last decade.

The fundamental thing that I think many people need to understand is that many of these "changes" are merely an outward reflection of an inward problem. Meaning a large majority of these individuals were often pursuing Christianity due to some external factor. Take, for example, cultural Christianity. I've sat in rooms with people who have literally been in crisis because they don't understand why people don't stay for the potlucks anymore. The entire foundation of their faith was on the culture surrounding Christianity in America. With that now (as the article points out) fading quite rapidly, they are joining their peers in leaving (or, worse in my opinion, becoming Christian Nationalists).

Many of us have seen this coming for a long time. Heck, if you go back and read Francis Schaeffer's writings, especially his later ones, it's almost uncomfortable how accurate his predictions were.
As long as they release all the source and build tools, I'm okay with that.
Folks, if you still have grandparents and you love them please give them a call. Let them hear your voice and know where you are. Scammers are targeting the elderly because they are lonely. With social media all they need are a few public posts to feed them plausible details. And absence of seeing or talking to you means anyone can call and say they are you. I’ve read transcripts and listened to the call recordings as evidence. It’s quite clear most elderly have no idea what their adult grandchildren sound like. But one day they are going to get a call from a Cabo jail and naturally want to help.
The March 8, 2025 and March 15, 2025 issues focus on how the rest of the world is responding to the repositioning of the US government and increased supply chain disruption. Those two issues are worth reading if supply chains, imports, or exports impact anything you're involved with.

The ASML article is hinting that Europe should fab more of its own ICs. Most of ASML's equipment is exported, not used within Europe. It's not that ASML wants to leave Europe. It's that they need more European customers.

Other articles in those two issues cover how Europe is starting to respond to American isolationism and Russian aggression. US threats to pull out of NATO are taken seriously, and contingency plans for a post-US NATO are underway. It looks like France will provide the nuclear deterrent. France's nuclear weapons program is not dependent on the US, but the UK's is. Further acquisition of US fighter aircraft is now much less likely. There's a concern that the F-35 is too "cloud enabled" and dependent on US data sources. The Swedish Gripen is looking like a better option. Efforts to replace US satellite dependency are underway, with recent launches on Ariane boosters from French Guiana. Reduction of EU dependence on the US internet is progressing. All the countries with borders facing Russia or Ukraine have upped military spending considerably. There's debate from the countries further from the front line on how much they have to.

Decades-old alliances and trade patterns are shifting. Europe has less of a problem with China than the US does. Russia is much closer, has caused trouble for a century, and there's a lot of bad history there. The US has a long history with Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, but Europe does not. Nor does Europe have any obligations to Israel, which helps when getting along with the Arab world.

Read more non-US sources on what's happening. Huge, slow changes are underway.

> I think implicit coercions are a semantics issue, not an issue of implementation details.

Why not both?

> An example of intransitive implicit coercions...

Ok? Arbitrary nullable references are obviously not a subtype of booleans no matter what you do. If anything may break by substituting one type for another, those types do not have that subtype relationship, by definition.
This is fairly unrealted, but it irks me when one-line fixes like this sit for ages in backlog hell. I want a company where developers go "might as well fix that now, it's faster than writing a ticket for it".

I see people where I work not do this, and it drives me crazy. Our director of engineering will literally add tickets for himself to do things that would take less time to just do. At least I hear "I took a page from your book and messaged the person instead of adding a ticket for myself to message them" often, which is a good sign.
If you want to draw a line you could say anything that’s not full AGI isn’t machine learning because of philosophical reasons.

But, other than that there’s the only clear line is when the programmer isn’t hard coding results which puts Linear regression over the ML line. I guess you could argue about supervised vs unsupervised algorithms, but that’s going to exclude a lot of what is generally described as ML.
> A service with its own data store

This is the only valid definition. If you don't have separate data stores, you don't have a microservice. You have a mess that will break.

> Problem Three: Microservices Without Organizational Change Is Pointless

Also 100% correct. Microservices only work if the only necessary coordination between teams is an API. If you have to coordinate deployments or other work with another team, you've broken the model.

Now, that's not to say that you can't help another team add an API call to their service to make your own service easier to run. Or that you can't coordinate feature development across teams.

But at the end of the day, each team needs to be able to deploy or roll back independently of what any other team is doing. It needs to work as if every team is another company who they can only loosely coordinate with (hence the term loosely coupled).

OP is certainly right here, microservices are a means to an end, not an end.
We've had this setup in the investment bank where I work for a couple of years now, Citrix though.
It has optional types
> I don’t understand why…

Because dynamic typing has its own advantages, which are worthy of experimentation even if you perceive absence of static typing as a weakness.

Gradual typing can offer us the benefits of both worlds.

> inferred typing is nearly as easy to use while being more robust.

Implementing type inference can be fairly trivial if your types are all disjoint. Hindley-Milner type inference is well studied and there's plenty of literature.

But as soon as you introduce subtyping, the traditional methods are not sufficient. It's only in the past decade that good solutions have been discovered, notably Dolan & Mycroft's MLsub[1], based on Dolan's Algebriac Subtyping thesis[2], and Parreaux & Chau's MLstruct[3], which uses a boolean algebra approach[4]. Type inference with subtyping is not a solved problem - these developments are big steps forward, but there are still open problems under research.

Subtyping doesn't imply object-oriented. Structural typing (ie "static duck typing") is a form of subtyping.

This. It’s also more expensive. If one DB is multi-AZ, then all of them need to be, otherwise you’re giving up all reliability improvements. So now instead of a single beefy instance in multi-AZ with a few read replicas, every service has that.

And as you correctly point out, the odds are low that there’s any semblance of a centralized configuration (nor that anyone knows what all the options for). So you wind up with 30 different DBs, all with different performance characteristics, and a ton of data duplication. Not to mention the observability nightmare. You want to trace something E2E? Have fun following all the traces and queries.

Bingo. So many decisions made perfect sense once I realized Apple is basically a lifestyle brand that makes electronics, and Microsoft is a massive bureaucratic B2B conglomerate. Totally explained Microsoft’s ineptitude with consumer facing products (remember Windows Phone? Zune?), yet they have a stranglehold on the business world. This is the opposite: Apple is designed for locking individuals into its lifestyle (or ecosystem, if you prefer), and has mostly given up on enterprise facing products.
This seems to propose that IT systems deal with the sheer amount of variability a living organism has to contend with on a daily basis. I don't think it's a fair comparison.

At Google (as an SRE), a large portion of my work was trying to understand problems that people have never even comprehended due to the sheer scale we operated at. Reading through code, I would often scratch my head at some decisions, only to later find out it had a really good reason often associated with some high-level incident. I feel the same can be said for biology. Just because it doesn't immediately fit into our theoretical understanding doesn't mean it was designed poorly.

Note the article refuses to say it explicitly, you have to dig deeper into the footnotes, but the group that is gaining the most “switchers” (after athiesm/agnosticism) is Islam.

> The U.S. and Kenya have the highest levels of “accession,” or entrance, into Islam, with 20% of U.S. Muslims and 11% of Kenyan Muslims saying they were raised in another religion or with no religion.
