In fantasy magic dream land loads are distributed evenly across different cloud providers.
A single point of failure doesn't exist.
It worked out with my first girlfriend. The twins are fluent in English and Korean. They know when deploying a large scale service to not only depends on AWS.
Healthcare in the US is affordable.
All types of magical stuff exist here.
But no. It's another day. AWS US-East 1 can take town most of the internet.
yes, they have. It just costs a shit ton of money and is extremely difficult to get the suits to sign off on TWO full 'cloud services' bills. It generally doubles your cost and workload and increases your uptime by a couple hours/year, assuming you don't have bugs that affect one or the other cloud in your deployment stack.
It's basically a wash for almost all organizations for twice the cost and effort.
also these things don't go down THAT often... well aws, not some others. More uptime that you probably had before. even the stock market takes a few days off every decade. Just ask W.
Not really. Your clients can random robin to connection points across providers and move write heads upon connection. If you worry about hard coding you can reduce the surface to a per-context first minimum contact point.
Yes, you're right, but in my experience the boundary between the data plane and the control plane is not always clear, and especially unclear on these foundational and basic services.
There were enough "surprisingly control-plane" IAM operations in the AWS services that I dealt with, so we had to exercise extreme caution during outages.
Even if I were the stupidest and least curious engineer around (and I was far from it), that's basically irrelevant to what you're scolding me for here…
As part of a team with both software development and operational responsibilities, like most teams at AWS, I had to deal not only with the consequences of my own imperfect knowledge, but also with the imperfect knowledge of my coworkers past and present.
This rules out a lot of government jobs. I personally finished my bachelors after I was already making 6 figures, but it’s a complex issue.
I seriously dislike degrees as a signaling mechanism. Maybe you just didn’t have parents who could afford to front $100,000 for you to attend college. Maybe you didn’t want to take on student loan debt.
It shouldn’t matter at all if you can get the job done.
If you want to explore immigrating later it’s probably worth having.
it's chill, works well. way better than streamlit but out of box i'm not a huge fan of material ui in nicegui. but good lord it actually behaves like an app. events and state management via event queue between the browser are great. it just looks kinda ugly, but you can at least rapidly prototype a working web app really quickly with it. solid for office tooling.
i've moved on from python apps though, i for whatever reason just woke up one day and decided im tired of runtime dependencies and i wanted compiled binaries serving up whatever.
I love cheap secondhand Dells and have been running them for decades. But it's absolutely the case that their build quality has been going steadily downhill for a long time, even for their business line laptops.
This laptop looks to be more in line with a MacBook in terms of build quality, with a price to match. It's being sold as a Linux laptop, what makes you think there will be driver issues?
Lenovo sells ThinkPad T-series laptops as “Linux-supported.” However, if you happen to buy an AMD version of one of these laptops, you may be surprised by how poorly the Wi‑Fi works. It’s been several years since the T14 Gen4 was released, and yet the Wi‑Fi is still not stable.
I think there is a very specific niche that this notebook is target for, and this definitely doesn't seem for you, the kind of person that having a cheaper laptop is more important than some of the unique features than this one or a Framework 13 Pro have.
For the unique part of this laptop that AFAIK a Dell XPS won't have is the Coreboot BIOS, that also probably means better support in the long term for BIOS updates.
To be clear, this is also not a laptop for me (but I did pre-order a Framework 13 Pro), but saying "nerd tax" or "anyone who buys one is either giving a donation or an idiot" like the other comment is just focusing in one part (the price) and not looking at the other.
It’s not like System 76 is developing special Nvidia drivers or anything.
Keep in mind most of these niche laptop brands, aside from Framework, just resell hardware. You definitely can get a better deal if you put in the work.
system76 does not develop special Nvidia drivers, but they do work on integrating GPU switching etc. in the Linux desktop: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/
I don't think this is necessarily about Linux nerds. For any kind of work laptop, time saved tinkering easily worth the extra $$$.
I thought that sounded good, so I looked it up. I can find Dells with 1920x1080 screens for ~$560, but the 4K ones, even refurbished, are closer to $2,000. But maybe I just wasn't looking in the right place?
Allegedly my great grandfather was building a deck at the age of 90.
This might also be survivorship bias.
I’d like to say people need purpose and challenges. This is probably why rates of depression tend to be much lower in “poor” countries where people have to depend on each other more.
In the west everything is an abstraction. If you would imagine a baker in a small town, if she doesn’t feel like baking that day, the town doesn’t get bread.
Therefore, everyone in the town has an incentive to actually check on her, and get her back on her feet.
In the modern west who cares, surely another bakery will provide.
I believe automation will reduce the need for human labor very very soon.
We can all find meaning in arts, dance and play. If not just the gift of this experience.
Or we can point fingers as no one has work or money
To your point about automation, I'm increasingly wondering whether the "post-labor economy" would be anywhere near as idealistic as it's typically presented. If people aren't working, they're presumably not paying taxes, and without taxes, there's much less incentive for a government to make choices in the people's best interest.
Or put another way, perhaps there's no representation without taxation.
You can argue we're already there. Politicians don't do anything for their constituents if big money disagrees.
I still remember when Obama was first elected and we thought we'd get something close to European style health care. Nobody was like oh gosh, golly I'm getting a subsidy to afford for profit health care insurance.
From technological point of view robo communism is very possible. I just don't know if it's what we're going to get.
The alternative is an endless spiral downward. You have fast food restaurants in NYC where outsourced customer service takes orders. Having a robot flip patties isn't hard. You could end up turning 6 jobs into 1.
Which on its surface is a good thing. Food service is ultimately a very dangerous job, and wouldn't it be great if those other five people could be working on art or something else.
We need to rethink what makes a person valued. I'm not religious, but from that angle, as a child of God you have inherit value.
This value exceeds any network you can seek to obtain.
Trains have been proven to be able to go at least 375mph [0]. That would make NYC->SF take 6.9 hours to travel the 4162 km. The current average flight time from NYC to SF is 6.7 hours.
So, it's at least technically possible.
China is doing R&D on a partial-vacuum train (basically Musk's hyperloop thing) with a target of 1,243 mph[1]. That's probably a pipe dream, but worth mentioning nonetheless.
> The government should of [sic] bailed out Spirit instead.
I'd be okay with this if all the taxpayers were granted equal shares that their collective money could have purchased at an imputed no-bailout price.
> The current average flight time from NYC to SF is 6.7 hours.
What's your source for this? I take this flight a lot and I find it hard to believe it's more than 5.5-5.75 on average. Looking at the last few weeks for one of them[0] supports my experience.
> "China is doing R&D on a partial-vacuum train (basically Musk's hyperloop thing) with a target of 1,243 mph"
When the vacuum fails - mechanical failure, human error, natural disaster, attack - air is going to rush into the tube. The speed of sound is how fast air molecules move, so train doing 1243mph might hit into a wall of air coming the other way at 767mph for a 2000mph collision. Don't think "wind isn't that fast", think vacuum implosion[1][2]. The weight of 60+ miles of atmosphere pushing down trying to force air into the tunnel. The principle that moves atmospheric steam engines. The train will then be blown backwards into the train coming behind it for another 1000mph+ collision.
18 hours with seats comfortable enough to sleep in, easy to get up and move around to lounge cars, wifi, and plenty of pretty views? Add some showers onboard and you're totally set. I think there are plenty of people who would take that over flying. A direct flight from NYC to San Francisco is almost 7 hours, not counting the wildly variable time needed to get to the airport and make it to your gate, and then you're still facing delays and prolonged discomfort.
Yes, or trains with comfortable sleeper coaches. This is how a lot of intercity rail works in India. I took the Delhi-Bombay Rajdhani express all the time when I was younger; would catch the train in the evening, tasty dinner and breakfast provided on train. The views were breathtaking; its the first time the vastness of India became so clear to me (and how many people were still engaged in farming). It would be so nice to have that in the US.
> It would also cost hundreds of billions of dollars and a decade to build.
Doesn't do much for seeing Uncle John next Tuesday.
You just described the building of the interstate highway system, but I doubt there’s a person alive who would say it wasn’t worthwhile.
I fear Americans are simple to selfish to have any desire to do time consuming expensive things that will improve their country long term. They just want benefits for themselves , now.
I don't think it is neither education nor awareness, our core problem and what is an eventual doom of this country lies in the fact that with the two political parties that we have and extremely non-functional government we are no longer capable of doing long-term things. whatever party X tries to do, they get a few years and then when party Y takes over their first order of business is to dismantle everything that party X did (tried to do) in the previous two years. while china can create "10-year plan" the america is no longer capable of creating any such thing and this is destroying the country, little by little...
Give it 2 years, the ‘Blame the AI ‘ incidents will increase. Like an unfaithful partner you’ll always return to it
