we definitely want to survive, even with 0 offsprings. That was not the point. The point was the natural selection does not optimize for the longest surviving humans.

you're working with the assumption that it's a commodity. It's more like a currency than a commodity. also, is the price of gold for example really tracking the cost of producing it?
873.
by rantwasp 6y ago
you should consider what the price to mine is vs the reward. as long as the reward > price to mine, the miners will keep mining. once it drops, you will either have miners dropping off the networks or the difficulty decreasing until anot

it depends. in the next 10 years, no. next 100 years, probably no. but if you have thousands or millions of years ahead I think artificial intelligence is going to become a thing. also we'll drop the artificial and call it what it is

yes, the longevity "movement" actually talks about this. nobody want to live to be 130 if it sucks. but if you have the same quality of life like a 40yo all of a sudden people are waaay more open to living longer (I have also obs

yes. you need to reproduce and to ensure your offsprings reach sexual maturity. but humans are in no way special. we believe we have escaped our biology because of the cultural stratum we posses (ie exchanged memes for genes) but we are sti

there is a huge difference between enjoying food and being a slave to food. the best example I have in this bucket is sugar. If you depend on sugar you're basically a drug addict (i know, i know, but just because it's socially acc

reducing caloric intake may work, but it's also as important when you eat (ie fasting / intermittent fasting). also, you can reduce caloric intake all you want, if you eat crap and don't sleep properly you're still going

it is not easier. you cannot engineer what you don't understand. for all the progress that has been made there is still a lot we don't know about how life works in general. not to mention the ethical can of worms this opens.

Improving longevity is what the people at https://www.lifespan.io/ have been trying to do for ages. The research is being done, there are tons of new promising things - with the catch that they are experimental / not t

by rantwasp 6y ago
this is the right answer. once you reach reproduction age and you are able to reproduce, from an evolutionary point of view you're done.

hahahah. terraform has bugs that were opened 8 years ago and were swept under the rug countless times. the fundamental problem is that terraform is not even a half baked tool (what version was it again? 0.12?) and people are betting the far

by rantwasp 6y ago
this is not about terraform “resources”. it’s about having a reliable way to work with your infrastructure. terraform is not that way (have you ever tried seeing what happens if the terraform process crashes/is killed or you lose netwo

it’s not cool to use it. why use a service that’s written, ran and maintained by a dedicated team that also builds all the other services you use? (if in AWS). they don’t know what they’re doing, right? better use some randotool and talk bi

it’s not just the provisoner. it’s. it like different clouds have the same abstraction. for all intents and purposes you need to understand the underlying cloud and how to use api/tooling around it when terraform fucks up
888.
by rantwasp 6y ago
use CloudFormation (or Deployment Manager if on gcp). Terraform is a disaster and you’ll learn the hard way you cannot trust it and you’ll have to understand the underlying cloud no matter what you do.
889.
by rantwasp 6y ago
yeah no. cloudformation is awesome and it works as advertised. I have literally not seen it fail catastrophically ever since it came out. it just works. terraform? or terrafail as it’s known. it’s a disaster. it cannot keep track of the res

what engine are you using? is it in an multi-AZ setup?

by rantwasp 6y ago
i don’t disagree with your points. ux is more than ui. and it’s definitely harder nowadays to learn about the cloud than it was 5 years ago.
893.
by rantwasp 6y ago
sure. the AWS console has been very hard to use since forever. Some may even go as far as saying that it improved. The UX is not the selling point of a cloud provider.

1. use RDS 2. if you want to run your own you’d better know how HA setups work and you can lose at least a machine at ANY point in time (not just when AWS warns you the hardware is failing)

yeah no. a lot of people can do this. i don’t know why you think google is special but it’s not. maybe you can share so that i can understand your angle

by rantwasp 6y ago
yeah no. aws excels at giving you the building blocks and making sure those building blocks work. unless you’re working at a small scale that’s what you want. for all the crap aws gets, the documentation is there, the tutorials are there, t

by rantwasp 6y ago
it does not. if you need live migration your software is poorly engineered. the only use case for this is a legacy app that you cannot move away from - but in that case i doubt you’re in the cloud

yeah. to be fair those are websockets which are sort of the same thing but not really (and performance optimization can be made more easily since the server [mostly] decides when to push stuff)

went back and looked at it. a webserver written in asm for the lols is okay but my point was that you probably want a proven, battle ready web server (along the lines of nginx or apache) if running something in production. So, 50k rps on a
