I am astonished that, in the two years, you had not already handled 100+ scheduled failovers. If your HA is good, customers don't notice, and if not, you find out when there are fewer of them (and in daytime!), and fix it.

Probably by now Pacemaker would have been abandoned. A
hundred drills would have been enough to flush out these behaviors. If you are afraid to run drills on production equipment, you should be running them on a full-scale production testbed, ideally with mirrored production traffic. With a production-scale testbed, two years is enough to run thousands of risk-free failovers.

Not doing frequent production failure drills is just irresponsible.
Indigenous people eating their traditional diet don’t really have crooked teeth. Their jaws are big enough to fit all their teeth, including wisdom teeth. They also don’t really have cavities but that’s another point.

For myopia, there is weak evidence that it is caused by lack of sun exposure at an early age.

So, you can blame your parents for giving you a bad diet low in fat soluble vitamins in your childhood, and not making you go outside. Other than that, you can try to prevent it in your own children.

Hi reddit!
I know some about it. Enough to where I don't eat red meat or pork (maybe 1-2 times a month) and I eat a lot of leafy vegetables. I don't use butter or mayonnaise. I don't consume caffeine and I make my own cashew milk.
>>> In the US for science the most common path is 4 year BS, 4-5 yrs PhD with no masters in between.

That was the path I followed in physics, though I took a bit longer to finish. I had friends in fields (e.g., psychology) where they had to do an interim masters. In my view, the result was that the masters became a hoop to jump through, and one that saddled the literature with studies that weren't really very meaty.

Personally, I'm leery of anything that makes the degree take longer. The reason is that grad students face the constant risk of things that can force them to quit without anything to show for it. For instance your advisor can spontaneously quit, or for that matter, drop dead. Your research can get "scooped." You can run into health or family issues.

>>> Most professors are not trained teachers.

Most college teachers are not professors. A few years ago, I taught a couple of college courses for a semester. If you want things like teacher training, then you have to make college teaching remotely career-worthy.

Depends I guess? I identify more as an expat right now because I don't actually have permanent residency?

It really depends on what your definition is I guess.
I also don't really feel like I've integrated with the culture. I've really only been here a year. I don't know a lick of the language (I mean I can do basic things like order food, have basic conversation etc) but ultimately I don't think I'll consider myself an "immigrant" till after that happens. Hope that helps. I'm sure other folks would define it as well.

I'll just comment on IRC since I know nothing about the others.

As much as I'd love to say otherwise, IRC is not a viable Discord alternative.
The onboarding on Discord is as smooth as IRC would be if the standard web clients had actually decent UX.
Unlike Discord, however, people can't seem to figure out banning on IRC.

There's no realistic way to CAPTCHA on IRC connection.
You could work around that on very modern IRCds with something like requiring SASL for authentication and having a web-based registration that does CAPTCHA, but mandatory registration breaks the onboarding process again.

People these days have a hard expectation that they can just drag and drop files and have it work, rather than navigating to imgur/some other site.
They want server-side logs to catch up on conversations they weren't online for -- rather than setting up a bouncer (which I'd argue is a privacy nightmare rather than a feature, but YMMV if you've got nothing to hype).
Some even want voice chat and avatars.

In some rare cases, people even have to call their ISP about unblocking 6667/6697 because of old cases with botnets.
Web applications would be much more popular, but then other IRC people want ways to ban the web clients reliably.

And let's not get into the historical cruft of the ident field that's not entirely historical cruft because it's actually used by shared providers to enable banning in the first place.
But that requires, again, knowledge of how to ban properly.
Which is a lost skill.

tl;dr: Discord UX is so much better than IRC UX to the a lot of people in a lot of ways.
I can respect that view but I don't personally view that as the bigger problem. I think that the amount of liberals who think that genuine right wing political views are alt-right is also a very small group. Also I'm not sure they are always just trolling, to use r/the_Donald as an example again it's one of the larger subreddits and it frequently has Islamophobic comments upvoted (and somewhat less often there will be racist or misogynistic comments, too) that aren't jokes and there is no one there to troll. I know it's a backlash against recent spcietal changes and hopefully it will eventually die down but the fact that there are some reasonably sized communities online which have normalized hate speech is really worrying to me. Even the highest tiers of the US political system have shown themselves receptive to those hateful messages so it's hard to see it as just a minor problem.

I'm ready for this kind of obscene horizontal integration to stop. It's of course logical for tech companies to explore new areas to make money in, but if the end result is only a few corporations controlling most of our economy, it's not worth it.

I don't even really see limiting horizontal integration as unethical/anti-business at all, if implemented well. Sure Bob Shareholder won't be able to directly invest the $X in profit from his Amazon/Google stock back into the company, but that profit would instead be given as dividends that he could then invest in companies that would be doing what Amazon/Google wanted to do anyway.

I just migrated my two Patreon pledges to Liberapay, and it worked surprisingly well. You decide how often you want them to charge you—and then they re-distribute the money on a per-week or per-month basis to creators.

So you can choose to be charged every month (and have ~2% of banking fees), or to provide money for the next 3 months (and the banking fee will be less). Money will be redistributed to creators once a week (or once a month) anyway.

Plus they only charge banking fees, nothing for themselves (tip is voluntary).
My point wasn't to say that these were free.

Merely that they idea that everybody can't have it, and there it must be rationed by economic means is a little crazy.

We can't all have private jets; but efficiency gains in food production suggests we can easily produce enough food. We are choosing not to distribute it.

I see this phenomenon prominently around addiction, as well.

I wonder if the opioid addiction & overdose epidemic is finally kicking people in the ass a bit and waking them up to the fact that their lack of empathy for addicts (not to mention people with chronic pain) is a major factor in the tens of thousands of deaths each year. When your attitude is “the only good addict is a dead addict” and you feel like addiction can never happen to you, it’s not as if you’re going to vote for spending on harm-reduction strategies—rehab, naloxone, keeping kratom legal, decriminalisation, whatever—even if they would actually work.

Have you read "The Hacker's Diet"? It was written by the guy who founded Autodesk, and I found it very useful. My own weight control system now is a simplified and informal version of the one in the book, I used it to go from over 105kg down to my target weight of 90kg and then sustain that loss (staying between 88kg and 90kg) for most of a decade now. A couple of times I've let it creep up and the same methods got me relatively quickly and painlessly back into range.

The most important thing is to see your calorie intake, not as a goal in itself, but as the control variable in a feedback loop, with your weight as the process variable that you're trying to control. (If you really wanted to get hardcore about it, you could use a PID controller to set your daily calorie intake. :)

When you reach your target weight, keep doing whatever you were doing and just gradually increase your portion size until you stop losing weight. If you're gaining weight again, gradually reduce portion size until you get back to your target weight. If you're losing weight, gradually increase portion size until you get back to your target weight. That's literally all there is to maintaining a target weight.

That's not just Japan. UK is another example of such behaviour. They killed HSMP (Highly Skilled Migrants Program

I like the question, no one’s ever worded it like that before, but I would say it’s a bit of both. That is, I never wanted children and I also didn’t want any accidents down the road. And I know if I did have children I’d feel less free. That said, I must say I feel extremely blessed in life in terms of aptitude and finances, however.
I guess what I'm really trying to say is that the performance of the "distributed" part has more to do with the design of the algorithm and less to do with the implementation (i.e Elixir). It's like saying Teslas have really impressive electric motors and entirely ignoring the rest.

Their blog (the part GP was referring to anyways), which I'll admit I've only read a portion of, seems to mostly talk about the message-shuffling portion of it though, and a lot of it is just discusses working around their architecture being utterly ridiculous. Once you've figured out where the messages actually need to go though, chucking them out (or the fanout, if you want to call it that) is pretty clearly a trivial operation. And, at least in theory, the routing would only change when a user/node joins/leaves, so the volumes involved there aren't quite as heroic as the message volumes. Handling a few thousand join/leaves per second doesn't sound quite as... scaling, though. I don't think they even bother trying to keep them in perfect order.

Again though, I'm not trying to say that it's not impressive that they got it to work, I just wanted to point out how we seem to have gone backwards / forgotten in terms of handling large volumes of traffic.

E: You're definitely right that HTTP connections are a pretty poor choice of comparison for messaging though.

Thanks for reading! If you decide to do a project with IR communication, be sure to research things like signal interrupts and hardware support for generating waveforms. On the Pi I'm basically using a busy loop to decode the signal in Python. It's not too elegant or efficient but it can usually get you what you need.

A more accurate (and more efficient) approach would be to either use a microcontroller that can record timestamps during pin interrupts from the IR receiver, or use a chip that has hardware support for receiving signals. The ESP32 has a nice peripheral for sending and receiving IR signals without tying up the main processor(s):

https://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/v1.0/api/rmt.html

But if you just need to decode and send a few different signals and only have a Pi, my approach works well. Been using it for close 1.5 years now without any trouble.

If only! In fact it's a struggle to utilize a GPU to its full potential because the communication bottleneck makes it infeasible. Compute is fast but data can't get there fast enough.

The authors of this paper were saying the same thing in the promo video, in fact, they were working on making GPU's more efficient. Why would they do that if GPU's are using their "full potential" already?
