I actually started at FB by managing SRO prior to joining the security team, so I am quite sure that I was over-estimating my total number of people by including the teams in Dublin and probably everyone who needed to hop on to a udb directly for some reason. As you can imagine, from that starting-point in my introduction to MySQL at FB it was all about dealing with various problems and slapping down hundreds of db replication error and similar alarms every hour in the pre-FBAR/pre-db-automation world. I was also probably out of line with the 'it is about job security' bits, sorry about that. Actually, scratch 'probably' from that apology, but having passed through the ops side, infra eng, and security roles at FB I ended up seeing all of the problems and a lot of the solutions developed there seemed in my view to be rather expensive ways to fix problems that either didn't manifest in Postgres or would be easier to fix in a different db.

I still maintain that while MySQL was the right choice in 2006, if you were starting FB today it would be hard to convince someone that MySQL is a better choice than Postgres.

There's an enormous difference between eating grains directly and using them to grow animals which eventually become meat. Industrial meat production has a greater negative environmental impact than agriculture.

How is possible that a software developed for a very specific purpose is comparable in size to a general purpose OS? I see this as an indication of a bad developed/vastly overcomplicated​ software. Correct me if you think otherwise.
I recently read The Space Merchants for the first time. It's astonishingly prescient.

Just replace New York with San Francisco, and "ad agencies" with "tech companies who derive their revenue from ads"... And the book is a surprisingly accurate satirical portrait of what we're living today. (You can also see a shadow of Donald Trump in the book's portrayal of the U.S. President.)

"Some people use microdosing ... arguing it helps with their mental health problems."

> medicines are highly "unnatural", but they save lives. why is food any different?

Many medicines also cause more harm than they provide help. Just look at the history of drugs that have had to be taken off the market due to crippling or deadly side effects just to treat some mild cold symptoms or something equally minor.

"Natural" is not at all a ridiculous term. It can be made ridiculous when things like "natural flavoring" aren't any different from "artificial flavoring," but I will take natural (or at least human incrementally improved over generations and generations) over artificial (top down diet science-ing) any day.

Funnily enough I have similar sentiments about my travels in the developing world. Best of times and worst of times. But I would still probably encourage anyone with the slightest curiosity to do that kind of travelling. I'm not sure how far I'd push this metaphor but the general point is that sometimes an experience is worth it even if it has some fairly unpleasant aspects.

"Socialist" is almost a useless label these days, it's used to mean too many things that the US doesn't like.

It's true that some of the aristocracy (e.g. Tony Benn) supported Labour and some very left-wing politics. But that was a small part of the whole. What is true is the Fabian Society proposing incrementalist socialism as an antidote to revolutionary socialism - a way for the aristocracy to keep their heads.

The UK nationalised a lot of industries after the war but then failed to run them effectively. After a few decades of this the Thatcherite response was to just privatise everything and give up on trying any form of state management. This leaves us in the bizarre situation where Germany, France, the Netherlands etc have state-owned rail companies running UK railways recieving UK subsidy.
I think the move to free-range farming has helped a lot to improve the situation. The majority of shops near me stock primarily free-range eggs and chicken due to consumer demand.

It is, and always has been, sporadic and random. The post gets submitted, it stays on the "Newest" page until it gets pushed off. If the title looks interesting people might click through, if the article is interesting people might upvote it.

Something might get posted 5 or 10 times before it suddenly gets attention and makes it to the Front Page, other things never get attention, despite the submitter thinking it's obviously of interest.

It has always been thus.

It used to be that repeat submissions were simply forbidden. Now it's more nuanced, and they are allowed if (a) it's been a while, and (b) the initial submission got no discussion. I'm not sure it's made things better. Certainly some items that might have been missed are now getting attention - eventually - but there are now more and more repeats of things that I personally think are of marginal - or even zero - interest.

Sad to see gcj getting the final shot, but the project hasn't changed much since 2009 anyway.
There's flaw in reasoning here, but I'm glad we're at least focusing on the maintainability arguments.

Ultimately it comes down to how your CSS is authored, and how your teams works. If you develop in a heavily document-oriented way, and make big use of the cascade, you're most likely to benefit from semantic (rather than presentational) class names. This is because when you make full use of the cascade, markup changes tend to be more expensive (you can't just move a block of HTML from one place to another and not expect its appearance to change).

These days though, we're increasingly building things in a UI-oriented way. What you see on the page is a composition of a number of components. If I move a component from one place to another, I expect it to look the same (with a caveat for responsive layouts) assuming it's still rendered with the same input properties. So now i'm authoring CSS that is bound to the structure of this component, naming becomes a lesser issues. The other thing worth pointing out is that it's not too difficult to built a document-UI (like say a magazine) using app-UI patterns, but it's rather challenging to do it the other way around.

If the goal is maintainability, then there should be zero industry-wide dogma. Best practices are going to be coupled to the methodology of the maintaining team. Personally, I did document-oriented CSS for 15 years, now i'm doing component-oriented CSS, and the results are much better. Obviously this is just an anecdote, but i'm not alone in this.

This idea that design is a "layer" on top of structure is somewhat offensive to the designer in me. Visual design is (and should forever be) coupled to structure and behaviour. Design is not a higher abstraction, it's something that pervades everything.
9 months ago people already claimed on Reddit that Antminer H/W was using AsicBoost.

This story seems just being dug up now by GMax for one or more of several reasons:

* discredit Jihan / Bitmain / AntPool who support BU

* distract from SegWit problems, buy time

* solidify the "Chinese miners bad, Core good" narrative to support UASF, SegWit's final death throw

* maybe give BitFury and other ASIC manufacturers some more business by scaring customers away from Bitmain

In truth, there's no emergency or attack from ASIC manufacturers on Bitcoin, mining is more decentralized than before through many pools. This is about the politics of a small clique in the incumbent dev team who don't want to let go of power, at all costs, nor do they seem to be very worried about what happens to Bitcoin because of their unwillingness to compromise and even to deliver on their agreements.

They did do exactly that in many cases - the ES systems were not transistor-by-transistor copies of the IBM systems. The original article (PDF link) has a letter from Andrei Gagarin which mentions that the ES1065 had entirely original hardware design and architecture (while presumably being ISA-compatible with the IBM systems). Also, not all ES systems were IBM 360 compatible - the ES project was an overall scheme for improving and modernizing the computer industry of the Socialist block (the name ES was in fact created when Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and other countries joined the project, which grew out of a USSR-only project called "Ryad"), and although the IBM 360 architecture was central to ES, there were completely incompatible systems in the ES line.
I'm curious as to what brought you to a thread about LSD if sobriety is such an integral part of your identity.

It's probably worth being familiar with both versions, because Grails had plenty of adoption before 3.x came out and 2.x is still being maintained.

What would you consider synthetically produced 'meat' that wasn't part of an animal?

Are there any other salient variables for classification which come to mind?

In my opinion, structured growth of 'muscle tissue' disconnected from any animal is still "fake meat". Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, it is either still science fiction or too expensive (otherwise I'd have heard about it from places that aren't scifi).

I saw plenty of overengineering even with C back in the 90's.

My biggest example was a server framework that used its own concept of opaque pointers all over the code, because they abstracted data access over shared memory to all instances of the server.

So any memory access to data structures storing server state required translating between handles and pointer all the time.

> Breaking rules != serious issues

In a nutshell, this is why we're seeing all these financial scandals and stockmarket melt-downs every so many years. Because the perception has become that if you break the rules it is not a serious issue, no matter what level of society you are operating at.

If you start equating speeding with breaking banking rules something is fundamentally wrong (not that speeding is ok, but the impact of say going 10 km over the limit versus wrecking the economy seems to be of a qualitatively different level).
That's because you are using an inconsistent set of morals. It's like saying "there is a largest number" and "for every x, there exists the larger number x + 1".

So most things people consider morals cannot all be simultaneously morals. Without self-consistanty you will end up with paradoxes like you mention.

Well, there's Tool's "Disgustipated", about the carrot harvest. And some people do think that plants can suffer. Indeed, some Buddhists only eat food that would otherwise be thrown away.

But yes, the relevance of suffering seems proportional to relatedness with the sufferer. Or maybe the ability to identify with the sufferer, based on perceived intelligence and self-awareness.
> Unless one is producing their own vegetables, industrial production of them is no different than meat.

This post lacks common sense. Processing and feeding animals uses far more resources than processing crops (especially since crops are often processed in order to feed animals...).

"The efficiency with which various animals convert grain into protein varies widely. With cattle in feedlots, it takes roughly 7 kilograms of grain to produce a 1-kilogram gain in live weight. For pork, the figure is close to 4 kilograms of grain per kilogram of weight gain, for poultry it is just over 2, and for herbivorous species of farmed fish (such as carp, tilapia, and catfish), it is less than 2. As the market shifts production to the more grain-efficient products, it raises the productivity of both land and water."
