This reminds me strongly of another system of distribution, which suffers from the same effect: differential gearboxes in cars.

Since the torque to all the wheels is equal, if one wheel slips it very quickly takes all of the power of the engine, since power = rotational velocity * torque. Only if the speeds are similar is the allocation of power to the wheels similar.

In cars, the solution is to make sure that the power is distributed fairly evenly even if a wheel loses traction. This used to be done with thick grease inside the differential gearbox to limit the difference in speeds - more recently complex gearboxes and traction control achieve the same thing, but through constantly monitoring the speeds of each wheel and braking wheels that are spinning out of control.

It's interesting how such disparate distribution systems seem to have such similar failure modes. I wonder if the two sides could learn something from each other here.

I'm the NSQIP champion for my hospital system and go to monthly meetings to review our system's data. There's a lot of controversy with the data. We show individuals their data as compared to their anonymized peer data. Recently, the credentialling committee wanted access to the data, and that is being discussed, but I'm against it because the data only samples your outcomes, not every case, so it can be biased (although as you get more cases sampled, hopefully, the pattern established becomes more relevant). Anyway, it can be humbling.

Moreover, all deaths / OR take backs / readmissions get reviewed by a hospital committee and in the 15 years I've been in practice, there have been 4 surgeons in town that have lost their privileges to operate at the hospital.
Armstrong was not the fall guy. Armstrong and Bruyneel orchestrated the first scientifically organized, methodical, rigorous doping program run as if it was set up by a mafia. They used legal threats and lawsuits to protect themselves for years. They set out to destroy their opponents (The Andreus, French journalists, Greg LeMond, etc).

Other senior members of the US postal team and its continuations were highly complicit, Hincapie in particular.

Well, being attracted only to the opposite sex while having fun researching various possible ways of having pleasurable sex doesn't seem that strange to me. If you're open to experiments in bed and don't feel any stigma attached to same-sex intercourse that seems like a natural thing to try, regardless of whether you feel that you are hetero-, bi- or homosexual.
That's a bug.

They do? I admin primarily RH and CentOS hosts and I've not noticed this happening with any packages.

As a quick test, I installed httpd on my workstation, and it did not get automatically started or even enabled at boot.

I don't think there's anything wrong with using packages to control which software is running if you do it right, but I do think it shouldn't be default behaviour.

The best bash (or any other shell) "trick" is to learn how to use GNU Readline. Once you understand that most shells and other commandline REPLs use it, you can leverage the same, consistent keyboard commands across all of them.

Probably one of the best and most transferable skills if you use the commandline a lot.

”We don't need to "bring down" those who drink alcohol.”

For a small set of sports, alcohol was on the banned substance list until last year (https://www.wada-ama.org/sites/default/files/resources/files...)

I think the fact that it makes you more relaxed is (thought to be) performance-enhancing in sports such as archery and shooting.

It also was on the list in airplane, motorboat, and car racing. I think that was because of safety concerns.

It still may be forbidden in archery in some competitions (https://worldarchery.org/news/153442/statement-wadas-withdra...)

Statistics I'd say is one of the useful cases of scraping.

Back in 2013, a guy scraped the results of about 150,000 students giving their 10th grade finals of a particular examination board in India. He showed that not only was there no privacy of student's marks because the roll numbers were all linearly incremented, but there was also mass-scale manipulation of marks going on.

The concept is simple but it's a very interesting read.

I thought we got past the idea that a unit is a method or class.

The original interpretation means a unit of behaviour. When you start thinking like that, intergration tests become less important. But still important.

No, a hibernated machine is powered off, you're thinking of standby. Hibernation dumps a memory image to disk which is then loaded on next boot. As laptop standby power modes has gotten much better, and memory sizes bigger, hibernation seems to have fallen out of fashion.

Parent seems to confuse two different kinds of boot. The one discussed in the article concerns itself with getting the OS loaded and beginning to execute that. Traditionally, this is where booting ends. But you OS still needs to do a lot of work, starting services, loading widgets and helpers and Bonzi Buddy etc. It's perhaps debatable if this can still be considered part of the boot process, since the OS is loaded and executing user space code, but it's certainly part of the startup process. I believe this is the process parent is referring to.
Exactly my point: they annoy us over a slight bug, and yet avoid upgrade to a stable version that fixes around 2000 bugs, over 2 years. So, for a small bug, they let thousands get unfixed.

And go on the appstores: how many scams, fake VLC and so on, do you see?
They claim to do reviews to get quality, and yet so many apps are fake, scams, and got approved nevertheless. It's the same on Apple, Windows, Android and Amazon.
If they want to learn, yes it's great.

Some turn up in the morning, however, work on their task for the day and go home. If they reimplement a chunk of the codebase somewhere else, because they feel they need to be writing more code to complete their task, fine, the story still passes. "I didn't know that was there" is not an excuse, it was probably covered in planning but they forgot. It's not going to get refactored, because it works! Peer review in this case goes one of two ways:

1. Bad quality peer sees criteria are satisfied and approves
2. Good quality peer sees all the duplication, some other bad practice thrown in for good measure and disapproves

In 2. say the story has already carried, pushing more work back, and hard deadlines are looming. They will be forced to begrudgingly approve the work, knowing they've just allowed a good chunk of cruft to enter the codebase. They will try and educate (assuming they've not lost the will to live - this might be the 100th time for eg), to prevent it happening again. But it will still happen, because bad developer is bad.

Forgetting the looming hard deadline: If the story carries over so what? We'll retro and add some bloat to the process to try and avoid it happening again.

What isn't explicitly said is "this dev is committing crap and the competent people are getting demoralised", it's the process that gets "refined" not the people. Agile is papering over the cracks and nurturing the codemonkey's behaviour.

But none of this matters, as the deliverable has been delivered. Now on to the next story!

Cloud REST APIs for Microsoft Outlook Email Programming “WITHOUT” Using Outlook
This is a nice addition I seemed to have missed before, but that might be due to the "project-prefix" thing, I tend to avoid those because they often pull in the entire project as a dependency (but not in this case as you noted).

I currently use sakura (a lighter fork of gnome-terminal less the gnome stuff). I'm mostly just after something that's minimal, the first thing I do when trying out a new terminal emulator is turn off all of the GUI fluff (I use a tiling window manager), then it's all down to font rendering, speed and small binary footprint. I can at least get qterminal down to the actual text console so far which is a good start :) (many terminals you can't)
I'm a huge fan of Netlify, everything you guys do is great.

We (Graphia) took a similar approach for our document management system. Essentially it looks and acts like a regular CMS but it sits on top of a git repo instead of a database; and publishes via Hugo.

It's not intended to be a fully-fledged CMS but the API would support it without much work; the UI is definitely the time consuming portion.

> Armstrong and Bruyneel orchestrated the first scientifically organized, methodical, rigorous doping program

Maybe in cycling, it was the first, maybe. State actors have been running these types of doping programs at the Olympic level for a long time.
Are you saying those top 10 cyclists in 2005 weren't doping? Because they all put in times that have never been matched.
Easy, lots of things you can do to prevent that. On the hardware side, tighten your trucks a bit (not too much as it will damage the bushings over time), use harder bushings (cheap), use a lower-angle baseplate for the rear truck (a bit more investment).

As hug mentioned, shifting weight helps. Also as you begin to catch wobbles, you can relax your stance a little bit to counteract them - but that takes practice. Finally, you simply control your speed - usually by sliding, but I can imagine on an e-board slides will be very cumbersome.

Of course if you know all of this, you probably already have realized that e-boards are barely good for anything but cruising from point A to B, and there's infinitely more breadth and depth to this sport than just that.

I really didn’t see anything there that would make me give up xterm. Sure it’s kind of big but nearly all the others are bigger and the actual application is very light weight.
I'm curious how that actually works in practice.

Do you package all software by yourself? I mean, if the vendor-provided httpd package for example started and enabled itself upon installation, how would you structure your configuration packages so that httpd does not start until it's actually configured? Or (theoretically) if you needed to deploy a configuration change and an upgrade simultaneously and can't restart the software before the new configuration is in place.

I see this being rather easy if the vendor package simply puts the binaries in place so you can have your own packages run whatever scripts it is you need and depend on the vendor package, but I don't see how it wouldn't be a headache if the vendor package contained scripts to manage the service as well, which is what primarily annoys me on Debian-likes.
If your company isn’t tiny your engineers generally shouldn’t be deciding priority. Unless your company is small enough that the engineers have a clear view of all the priorities of the business all we are capable of is saying “This seems really important to us.” And then that has to be weighed by people who have the bigger picture.

But outside of a very small company to me it’s a bigger crime to waste engineer time with all the meetings necessary to give them that full perspective. When I started at my current company I was the only developer and I worked directly with the CEO and our single marketing person. Back then I helped decide priority. Now the company is too big for that. I don’t have time for all the manager and marketing and business planning meetings to be able to decide priority.

As far as defining features, we can propose them like anybody else but I think I already explained why usually it makes sense for them to come from whoever owns that piece of what you’re doing. But this of course again depends on the structure of your company.

The main difference is that the Olympics is a short event. The European continental cycling season is long and has a great number of events, from the early spring classics into the fall. The UCI protour teams were organized very differently than a country's national olympic committee's team.

I'm not saying that a great deal of doping didn't exist before the US Postal system made a systematical scientific practice out of it. The 1990s was rife with doping but on a more individual level. What Armstrong and Bruyneel did was organize it, protect it, engage their own scientific analysis resources to find ways to get around in-event and outside-of-competition doping controls, etc. And then bully, lie to, threaten both their own teammates and everyone outside of their inner circle.

That the article is about load-balancers and how a single "rogue actor" can have outsized effect on the entire thing. The failing webserver is besides the point.
There is a picture from Psychology Today. I think it explained the difference between sympathy and empathy clearly.

> "Sympathy: I care about your suffering."
> "Empathy: I feel your suffering."

The difference is empathy means knowing the other side's feeling but doesn't mean concerning the other side's feeling.

The articles premise is that Durant was prescient enough to turn his horse carriage company into a car company because he knew it was the future.... Then the author tries to make a parallel with cars propelled by gas vs electricity. It's not really a perfect parallel.

Don't get me wrong, I'm massively rooting for Elon and Tesla. But it seems to be that the original success of GM was because they were in an industry building things that were 1000x better than the old way of doing things. Tesla doesn't seem to be 1000x... Maybe 10x... Until they have fully self driving cars.

So my conclusion is that the electrical car aspect of Tesla is not really the game changer... It's the AI which we have yet to prove out...
