It's amazing what a mirror Facebook is. Your Facebook description resembles very few other people's Facebook. Its nothing like mine.

I briefly worked on an app that had Facebook integration and got to see different people's feeds. Even straight white male programmer dudes like myself, each one had unrecognizably different content in their feeds. Mine is mostly baby pictures, art posts & science posts. Someone elses was entirely niche events and parties. Another was the most banal tabloid celebrity gossip. Another just seemed a random mix of every sort of media. Another was predominantly toxic right wing graphical text posts urging you to be afraid and lots of flags.

What I'm getting at here, is that I don't think Facebook itself is the problem. It's never the problem with a feed that you curate yourself.
It works opposite way. Bitcoin mining is centralized in China, so firewall would cutoff rest of the world. (it ads latency and makes it harder to announce newly mined blocks)

Both the far left and the far right advocate a stronger control of the government over citizens, and in doing so they distance themselves from anarchism.
At least for the EPR they are building in Finland, AFAIU a lot of the delays and subsequent cost overruns have been due to stuff like poor welds or poorly done concrete that has to be redone. Really basic stuff that one would assume that a company that is building a nuclear power plant could handle, but, alas, apparently not. Of course, Areva is claiming that it's just the Finnish nuclear safety inspectors who are being overly nitpicky.

that's Facebook's toxic behaviour right there. it's disgusting! purposefully (yes) driving a wedge and animosity between me and my friends because I dared to do something that you / your platform doesn't like?? fuck that. I've broken (irl) contact with people who (consistently) tried that.

I don't know, it's pretty unlikely at this point that anything will replace Linux as The Kernel. It's like replacing Google as the search engine.

On top of that users are currenlty moved away one additional abstraction layer from the kernel, to work with apps inside of containers (see Android, Kubernetes). The OS underneath becomes a static one-version-one-set-of-packages layer. That reduces the amount of people who can even decide to exchange a kernel for another, and these are mostly people who are rewarded for stability instead of experiments. Who would still like to write Android apps, if Android would start to crash more often or change its API drastically?

This is a battle that can't be won. Let's move on to one that is still undecided, e.g. which container engine will finally win. Although Docker seems to be the most likely favorite already at this point, I'd still like to see if nspawn will do a systemd move and just replace the alternatives.

The people who just want a relational database that does what they need it to in 99% of the cases use MariaDB.

I am going to write this from the perspective of a potential employer.

Personally, I don't look at the years of experience someone has, but at the projects that the person worked on and how good that person is at answering some technical questions (to weed out people that lie about their experience and knowledge).

If you are good at what you do, then have some projects to show your expertise. And there are a few options to get them:

1. help a non-profit for a lower pay or even for free
2. contribute to open source projects
3. create a project of your own where you can show what you can do

When applying don't talk about years of experience, but about what projects you completed and how you managed to get them done.

Agree, I might have misread the discussion. However, strict mode is on my default since MySQL 5.7 (released in 2015) and MariaDB 10.2 (which is also the version he was using). So he changed that, but didn't explicitly state it. Even when multiple people mentioned sql_mode.

I suggest you read at least the start of "An Anarchist FAQ". It is specifically dedicated to explaining why "anarcho-capitalism" is not anarchism.

From Introduction [1]:
"We should also indicate the history of this FAQ. It was started in 1995 when a group of anarchists got together in order to write an FAQ refuting the claims of certain "libertarian" capitalists to being anarchists. Those who were involved in this project had spent many an hour on-line refuting claims by these people that capitalism and anarchism could go together."

It is pretty obvious that so-called "libertarians" (Rothbard et al., who argue for absolute private property) are not anarchist, but now that David Friedman's ideas and "Machinery of Freedom" book becomes popular and he calls himself "anarcho-capitalist" it became necessary to explain why "anarcho-capitalism" is an oxymoron again.

There is a long tradition of market anarchism, and even Agorsim (see Samuel Edward Konkin III) can be considered to be anarchism in my opinion, but "anarcho-capitalism" is not.

I'm an American labor lawyer and often find myself thankful when an employer actually keeps accurate time cards. "Time shaving" and wage theft are so rampant today and are a significant part of the billions of dollars that workers lose each year in this country [1]. It's a lot easier to do that when you fudge the time records, or don't keep any at all.

As a counterpoint, one could argue that the normal price we'd expect doesn't factor in externalities like infrastructure and maintenance.
So the inflated price could, from an exterior observation, be in fact better aligned with true, long term settlement costs.

The sad part is the inflated rents don't seem to go towards these externalities either, but to landlords' pockets and land managers' margins. Even though the price is theoretically correct, the market reflects it for the wrong reasons giving the sell side an undeserved moral argument.

> I believe this is actually why erlang never really took off widely -- a PHP script hitting the database is a better version of the same concept: the PHP code can crash, and that will cause a lost connection and a ROLLBACK in the database, getting you back to a known-good state and the other requests just continue working (security and other PHP jokes aside).

Comparing Erlang to PHP + transactional DB is regrettable.

Firstly, Erlang's "let it crash" philosophy, together with its sophisticated supervisor/worker framework, aims for resilience in the face of failure due to bugs or bad data. A PHP script hitting a database may be a better design for a simple web application, but it is in no way superior to the Erlang/OTP ecosystem for Erlang's primary use case: soft real-time, highly concurrent, resilient and robust systems. It cannot reasonably be compared to a scripting language + DB, nor does it make any sense to.

Secondly, Erlang is also able to work with transactional databases, from its built-in Mnesia DBMS to Postgres and more. A more appropriate comparison would be between Erlang + DB vs PHP + DB, and then I think you will agree that Erlang would generally fare better than PHP in that case.

WhatsApp was built almost entirely in Erlang + Mnesia. I honestly don't think they could have done it in PHP + Postgres.

Finally, claiming that Erlang didn't take off because it lacked the transactional semantics of PHP + DB does not compute, because I never saw any claim that Erlang offers transactional DB semantics (unless it happens to be using a transactional DB).

If I was going to add any communications stuff to a CERT bag, it would be a $25 baofeng ham radio. (Even if I wasn't licensed, since I have the feeling the FCC wouldn't be enforcing the rules with a heavy hand after a disaster. Part 97.403 says "No provision of these rules prevents the use by an amateur station of any means of radiocommunication at its disposal to provide essential communication needs in connection with the immediate safety of human life and immediate protection of property when normal communication systems are not available." ... but that's specifically about "an amateur station" defined earlier as a FCC-licensed ham operator.)

MySQL has been a toy compared to PostgreSQL for many years. This isn't remotely about being pure or niche, but about practical database concerns. Why have Oracle DB, MS SQL, and DB2 been profitable? It's because serious database features are genuinely important. MySQL doesn't cut it.
Throughout history a lot of highly educated people feared the worst and argued why it might happen. It's not like they are prophets of doom, they don't assure people it will happen, they just express fears that it might happen, usually with reasons to back it up - and that's OK, people tend to not think about problems proactively. If society is introduced to a new problem it's usually a good thing.

In his case in particular, I feel there's a big disconnect between what he's saying and what the titles end up being. For example, he says there's a possibility we could live in a simulation and explains why, only to end up with a title like "Elon Musk thinks we live in the Matrix".

You could always say he knows more then most of us (classified research, etc.), but I think he's just talking about things that he fears _could_ happen and the media, and society, instead of engaging in some discussion about this, just treats it as tabloid - "look what Musk says, shock!".
ZFS can't be added to the kernel. You need to install the kernel module yourself.

I worked at a comedy club during university and this is totally normal.

We would usually have a set of comedians booked for the whole weekend, and in the main their performances over the three nights would be identical. There was the very occasional one who would do some ad-lib back and forth with the crowd for a few minutes, but even those you would start to notice a pattern of repeated jokes, or types of jokes if they were booked for more than a few nights.

What was interesting was seeing the same acts return months later and find their set was still 80% the same. They evolved material slowly over time.

Ah yes. Common table expressions, my most loved feature from the 1999 SQL specification. Has MariaDB added support for them yet?

Again: I'm not an expert. But I feel I've been around the block on this topic.

Some people think it's a naughty word, but: Moderation. Or -- to put it in different terms -- a community manager. That's one way to try to enforce norms. But I'd say that the most powerful way is via intelligent growth. For example, don't just open the floodgates. Grow a community at a rate where newcomers never overwhelm the existing users. Communities that "break" can be hard to "fix" once toxic norms have been established.

The debates would probably seem fairly simplistic to today's ears, but remember that the community design of Twitter (140 chars, public, "following") was a novel idea a dozen-or-so years ago. There was a ton of experimentation with how different communities could be built. Big business at the time!

One place I've found interesting as far as learning about community design is online games. Game designers are trying to design very specific experiences for users, and you can learn a lot by looking at how Overwatch (for example) tunes both gameplay and community to craft that experience. Even when playing with a dozen strangers.

Anyway, maybe those are some leads for you.
Patents are a pretty big threat to have hanging over your company -- Google might not sue other companies for using it now, but they could in the future. At least, until the patent expires.

I realize Google has created more than PageRank, but PageRank is pretty fundamental technology. If you can't use it for legal reasons, that's a big impediment. I don't know how Bing gets around it.

I've never tried using Baidu, but if my main concern is that I don't want a search engine censoring the Internet, then using Baidu is at least as problematic as using Google.

I don't know much about the other Runtimes that you mention, but correct me where I'm wrong:

In the case of the JVM, green threads were dropped a long time ago, and under the current paradigm, native threads are used (on all platforms?). So doesn't this need to be written into the JVM? Not impossible of course (or provided by the unikernel wrapper as it is in OSv).

Similarly with Databases, Oracle and Postgres both use a process per connection client/server model. So a unikernel for these would be impractical without rearchitecting those to run in that kind of environment.

I was initially very excited for Unikernels, but because of this question (and others), I've really started becoming less enamored by them. I'm sure there are many places where they can be put to use, but for most of the software that I'm familiar with, there are still a bunch of kernel services that are quite handy.

At what point of building these services into your unikernel/userspace application do you cross-over to basically building a new kernel. It really feels like the micro-kernel architecture would be a better fit in many of these cases. And yes, I understand that we can think of unikernels as VMs based micro-kernel services, but they have more isolation than traditional variations specifically allowing them to be used in AWS, etc. But still...

Information is about patterns in sequences of things.

If you are displaying patterns in a sequence of 16 things (2 bytes), you are no longer in the realm of binary information. The information has a structure on top of it that makes patterns of 16 things meaningful, so that you can plot them on a 256-256-256 cube and retain or explore some of that structure.

If I'm dealing with "binary data" (in a simple case, whether a light is on or off under certain other _binary_ conditions), I am not interested in patterns of 16 bits together since that constitutes some higher level of structure in the data that may or may not be important to me. At this time the indivisible atomic information bit becomes a pattern of 16 bits, not just 1, and we have left the realm of "binary."
Last I checked MariaDB doesn't support common table expressions which are part of the SQL standard published in 1999, nearly 20 years ago. Has this changed?

If SQL is SQL is SQL as you say, then I would say MariaDB doesn't support SQL.
