Nice write up, but wondering now what nix proposes in that space. I've never used nix or nixos but a quick search led me to nixops, and then realized v4 is entirely being rewritten in rust. I'm surprised they chose rust…
Sharding of data and compute is precisely what makes Rama [0] able to handle Internet scale topologies to create materialized views (PStates). Only one topology can write to a PState, and each PState has its own…
I would not dismiss this as crank science so quickly, first and foremost because it's not claiming to be science, not theoretically at least. It's observation of likely correlation. Also I would not say tides are "quite…
Jeanne Rousseau, who passed away in 2012, asked in an interview [1]: Why are the syzygy tidal coefficients equal when the quadrature tidal coefficients are at opposite extremes? Why are the syzygy coefficients at…
OOP certainly has some early roots in trying to be more efficient with code reuse, organization, and clarity of intent. Later on Java tried to alleviate serious productivity and security issues with garbage collection…
Here is an example of a 2006 rant that qualifies: https://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2006/03/execution-in-kingdo... OO conflates many different aspects that are often orthogonal but have been conflated together…
OO fatigue is a healthy symptom of readiness to move to clojure, where data and functions are free to live without encapsulation. No king of nouns, no king of execution!
The article reads like a story of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, discussing pros and cons of cutting the square corners vs using a bigger hole. At some point one needs to realize we're using the wrong kind…
So many comments are based on different understanding of local-first. For some it means no data on the server, allowing some claim it's better for data privacy (but what about tracking?). For others it means it works…
I get your point and would reformulate as: over time a beginner's environment is mostly the top layer of the tech stack and leaving that state of beginner is a lot more challenging. In the 80s I was dabbling in Basic on…
A good alternative to jira and other tools used in application lifecycle management is tuleap [1]. The PM/agile part is very configurable and it is also offering integrated wiki, gitolite, and hooks to integrate with…
Unless it's my tiny phone screen I'm surprised this video did not surface yet https://youtu.be/ShEez0JkOFw (Tim Ewald - Clojure: Programming with Hand Tools)
The topic of star forts is very very interesting, though it raises more questions than satisfying answers. For example, central Asia has many such forts in the middle of nowhere ([1] [2] [3] [4] [5]), some barely…
Would you be able to share your recipe? I've seen many variants on the net. Using ripe/full yellow fruits I did many soaks in water, boiled the fruits and even the boiling juice had to be discarded due to bitterness.…
The tree does own itself in the sense it is a free living being just like birds singing on its branches who could care less about human affairs until it affects their own space and freedom. The fact is the human species…
Reminds me of what clojure spec is trying to do: create data specifications that can be named and reused via a registry. The metadata is just data on the shape of the data so it can serve as doc, validation, data…
Not necessarily, it's most likely a reference to the popular article from 2013: https://engineering.linkedin.com/distributed-systems/log-wha...
Nope, I have nothing to do with that guy. I'm just intrigued by all the questions being raised in these videos. Perhaps you would have preferred a link to single video instead of all of them. Hard to single one out, but…
Thanks for that reference to Fomenko, I wonder how that relates to the questions being asked by JonLevi on youtube [0]. Not sure what to believe, but I have to admit the questions the guy is asking while showing…

A bogus test would explain a lot of oddities such as a high number of asymptomatic cases and testing positive again after recovery. It would help to know what is being tested exactly: are we sure we isolated that virus,…
Again people not on the front line criticise those who are. If you get infected, would you take it, or would you wait and see the result of the full study? Now imagine having to take that decision not just for your…
There are reasons to be skeptical of everyone!
Reminds me of the recent interview of Pr Raoult who's been using chloroquine to treat covid-19 in France. Here's a google translated extract: To those who say that we need thirty multicenter studies and a thousand…
