About (3): This will inoculate the economy against external supply chain shocks, e.g. war.

The lead time required to set up realistic domestic production will mostly exceed this government's term. Setting up brand new supply chains doesn't happen overnight, does it?


Correct; it doesn't. However,

(1) Tariffs will not affect all commodities in the same class equally, creating a natural price advantage, even at the level of consumers. While not absolute autarky, demand will continue to shift to less externally-dependent goods, which has and will continue to reduce our liability.

(2) Ideally congress would codify the tariffs to prevent that. That said, it seems the first Trump term tariffs did induce production onshoring, despite that uncertainty.

What would it take to change your mind on these tariffs?

If there was a positive outcome? US citizens financially better off in 4 years than they are today?

I don't think most MAGA voters would see it as a win if US was slightly less dependent on imports, but they personally are considerably worse off financially, which seems the likely outcome.


> demand will continue to shift to less externally-dependent goods, which has and will continue to reduce our liability.

The cure for this type of wishful thinking is nothing else but reality itself. Still, it’s not the premise that’s wrong here, but the argument that the US society is capable to make this type of shift. It just isn’t gonna happen.


That does seem like quite a large state file. Would you be able to shed some light on the sorts of of resources that you're provisioning? I've found it to be useful to split dependencies between cloud resources, and to add links via data lookups. At any reasonable scale, I've found splitting Terraform state to be crucial.

For example: network resources and Kubernetes clusters are created separately, and networking is a required dependency for Kubernetes clusters. Resources are associated with environments and regions, and modules take in environments and regions as parameters.

In my setup, we have 200+ state files, and the largest is around 80KB.


How do you manage the meta DAG between all of that stuff in the event of, e.g. complete disaster recovery?

There are studies that uncovered users of Ashwagandha with: - Liver injury - Itching - No major benefit


As others have said already, that's nowhere near enough. In general, I advise my teams to stay away from any Open Source projects that don't have a robust testing approach.

Toby Clemson's infodeck on Martin Fowler's site has a lot of information about testing microservices: https://martinfowler.com/articles/microservice-testing/

"Testing in production" doesn't necessarily mean "Test only in production". Cindy Sridharan has a nice article about the nuances involved: https://copyconstruct.medium.com/testing-in-production-the-s...


Kinesis | Senior Developer | Sydney | ONSITE

At Kinesis, we build software that enables sustainable and liveable cities. We're looking for someone to join our team of 6 developers and help build software that makes a difference to the environment and to the lives of city dwellers.

We have several single page app products (EmberJS, Rails, Django and PostgreSQL), and we’re exploring more advanced mathematical modelling and algorithms in our new products. This role will be focussed on contributing to our products across all layers of the stack.

You'll be able to work all the way from product design to architecture and code, and as the team is relatively small, you will be making a significant contribution. Our development team is agile and co-located, with daily stand-ups, a kanban wall, retrospectives and pairing as appropriate.

If you're interested, please email me directly at vivek.prahlad@kinesis.org


That's what I had to say, pretty much to a T! (My kids are 11 and 8 1/2, and go to bed around 9 as well). I watched a video on bash scripting on the way to work today. My daughter is into robotics and programming, so we do get to have a lot of fun together. It was very hard to find the time to learn something new when they were younger.


Here's a quote from the first paragraph of this page: http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html

"Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software." (Emphasis mine)

Continuous delivery has been an integral part of agile methods since the very beginning.

I haven't used ember.js, but have been getting my teeth into angular.js over the past couple of months. Overall, I've been very happy with it.

What I liked:

- Relative simplicity and very little code for most common tasks (showing/hiding content, AJAX and JSON support, breaking down the UI into components / areas).

- Great testability, thanks to relatively clean separation of concerns.

- The two way databinding support is awesome and works well. This does away with lots of the usual boilerplate.

- Templating is very straightforward.

- No performance issues to report. But from what I can gather, Angular a bit like the Swing framework - it's possible to shoot yourself in the foot and write poorly peforming applications. (Haven't managed to do that yet ;))

What I'm struggling with:

- Working with directives is complicated. They are the only way you can integrate with other javascript components sanely. Specifically, I ran into some issues with how to make the databinding work between directives. Still wrapping my head around how that bit works.

- It took a while before I was able to get my unit tests up and running (most example test suites were out of date with the current way of doing things)

- I have some (minor) issues with how things are named. There are two kinds of 'Controllers', for example, which are used in very different contexts (in the DOM, and in directives). Angular's 'controllers' are actually closer to models IMHO (they are where you manipulate state) than controllers.


Did you read the terms of the course? Did you notice that they ask that solutions to assignments not be shared publicly? I think it's an even poorer move to blatantly violate Coursera's terms, and then claim that "that's what you do with code". You should seriously consider taking down your github repository.
