Man their tutorials are so good and make me want to use this.

I've got an app that uses that to upload to S3. It's pretty straightforward.

We use Vapor3 and the language is ok, but the deployment story (docker/k8s, for us) is a nightmare and has caused us unending drama. Things seem a little better with newer versions of vapor and swift 5.5, but our experiments don’t seem to have gotten very far, and the upgrade story is quite a lot of work.

Curious about your experience with k8s, what has caused issues? (Genuinely curious, I've played with the idea of writing my own.)

I was reading this and thought it sounded familiar. A few months ago I needed a human readable bytes format, ended up on that stack overflow article and, plot twist, copied the while loop one.

I agree. I also think commit messages get more detailed the further along the process is, and the less code you change.

“Added unit tests and stub out api” (50 files) vs “fix bug when files are added too quickly” (1 file, 3 lines)

I've seen plenty of chargers at malls and Walgreens and other areas. Usually it's a ChargePoint or blink app, which connects through your phone. One of the local malls subsidizes the electricity and charging is free.

And also because externalities aren't priced in, like carbon amounts.

For industrial-scale methane/coal burning, sequestering 90% or maybe even more of the CO2 is still a lot cheaper than using electricity. Don't get me wrong: it costs around 10% of the thermal load in electricity (technically, driveshaft power for turbomachinery).

There isn’t much eco-friendly about cement.

I was referring to the relative comparison being made with clay brick, the same comparison the article was making.

Of course, there are even better alternatives, like building your home out of solar sequestered carbon solids, i.e. wood.

Wood is not cheap outside Europe/North America and few other countries. Concrete is still the cheapest option along with steel if i am not mistaken. One thing is observe is that downsizing or reducing the size of the house is not considered a popular option.

How many dirt bikes do you think someone is buying? Is your concern that after being on UBI for a year someone will have 12 dirt bikes and a starving child?

If 99 people don’t buy drugs, and 1 person does, is the system a failure?

I'm just giving legitimate examples of wasteful things that people spend money on, because the person I was responding to seemed to have trouble coming up with good ones.

Just like the examples you're giving me- 12 dirt bikes? That's obviously a ridiculous proposition. So is only 1 out of 99 using that money to buy drugs- a much larger percentage of our population than that partakes. Using stupid examples like that doesn't persuade anybody that Americans are mostly financially responsible.

The IEA forecast has been so wrong it suggests malice.
