Even though it is going to be extremely painful, one thing that excites me most about AI is the distinct possibility that it obliterates the concept of artificial scarcity that so much of the world relies on to create money these days. IMO,

So my Kubernetes cluster is actually a collection of a collection of someone else's computers?

What I get from this is that a major method of rent seeking used by disk manufacturers, to differentiate expensive enterprise disk from cheap consumer disk, was colluding to keep the simple and effective write queue reporting from being shi

Agreed, at this point I don't believe the "privacy" aspect of Signal's sales sheet means anything. Most that I know use it primarily because they can have clients on all platforms, including desktop.

I guess maybe I'm missing the purported point of signal, attaching your phone number to use it notwithstanding, but attaching payment identity to it as well? Like, what's the point of going through the pain required to use it?

It feels like the value in political virtue signaling is quite past its peak, in fact I think there's something of a negative value to it in a lot of important circles.

I have to ask: were you using your dad's Usenet account?

Heartily agree. I don't visit much anymore as I have a tendency to overuse, but some of the most interesting, real, and oddly respectful, conversations I've had in a long time were on said board.

IMO, the complexity is an important aspect of the Sisyphean drive that life seems to have to reverse the action we call the second law of thermodynamics. I highly recommend reading The Animate and the Inanimate[0] by William Sidis. However,

It may not play well with them ootb considering the lack of an fhs filesystem, but I think nix has shown itself to be adept at handling these cases well. Steam in particular is a great example, and I've even packaged user-hostile blobs

Great clarification, and just to relate flakes: a flake input is like a package-local channel instead of being system-wide.

Great point which mirrors my experience as well, even during my foray into gentoo (ostensibly with the hope of fixing these inconsistencies) I ran into system-killing issues with similar root causes. The only thing I regret about nix is tha

Yeah, agreed that declarative is probably the wrong word, nix is Turing complete after all. Also, thanks for the interesting article! It coalesces some concepts that have been tenuously anchored in my mind for awhile. The lack of a story ar

An important thing to keep in mind is that a derivation can be easily rendered into a container image with dockerTools.

Flakes help a lot with granular version pinning. It feels weird to have multiple nixpkgs at different commits as inputs, but it's not too bad if you imagine them each as a distinct flake repo for the version of package you need (and na

One capacitor on a tank array would definitely reduce its total capacitance, but they are nearly always in parallel and would not cause a failure of the whole tank, and the device would be inoperative if the output of the array was shorted.

If the correct amount of pad is not exposed at the edge of the part, the solder will have nowhere to form a fillet which is critical to its physical attachment. Solder is not glue, and even with more pad contact beneath this is a physically

Most restaurants will have a cheaper menu for lunch than for dinner. Nice places will usually have different menus, but many just serve the same for simplicity and cost.

This goes against everything we've learned about effectively deploying and managing software at runtime. Using the golang binary as a packaging format for your app has the same energy as crafting it exclusively from impenetrable one-li

I find putting http proxies in containers to be a very effective method of building interesting dynamic L7 dataplanes on orchestrators like k8s. Packaging applications (particularly modern static SPAs), with a webserver embedded, is also a

Or, I don't know, consume content that people don't put behind a paywall? I view this all as a manifestation of the network's core feature of routing around damage. Monetization and centralization is a scourge on the system&#

The internet before huge conglomerates started stealing and monetizing people's content through forced network effects would have absolutely blown your mind then.

Yeah, that's fair. I guess I don't really use prototypes anymore either. I find modules and closures are intuitive and powerful, though very different conceptually from classes/prototypes, tools for handling things like priva

I've found that the eventual consistency provided by orchestrators like k8s solve this problem rather well. If the services are written using the right paradigms to handle such a situation, they will also be much more resilient to plat

The units in a multi-unit building can also be sold; they're called condos. But of course selling a condo wouldn't allow a landlord to rent seek in perpetuity.

I think a pivotal part of your statement is "close". Close in time and close in distance are not necessarily mutually inclusive. There are many things we could do to to break this coupling if we had the will to spend the time and

I think it made using classes more popular before hooks, and drove--along with functional components--the more general popularity of functional style of js afterwards. I feel like the latter are the idioms you will find most common in moder
