Good question. Some hypotheses:

- Fewer users => smaller impact

- Fewer ads => smaller abuse potential

- Users spend less time on LinkedIn

- Users share less personal information

- LinkedIn has other revenue sources than ads, making them less risk-taking in the ads business

- More savvy users

- People don't feel as sorry for professionals as they do for other people

- Fewer/less impactful breaches

- More likeable founders

That article goes a bit overboard. Yes, we call a different thing biscuits. (I like our way, honestly, but then, I grew up with that.) What the article declares as "this is gravy, America" is what Americans call gravy. The white stuff, served atop biscuits is also gravy, usually disambiguated by calling it "country gravy". It's mostly a southern thing; my SO from New England gave it a good "WTF is that." the first time I ordered it and she saw it. (I may have ordered it specifically to see it get that reaction, but also b/c it's good.)

But even in the south, we put normal, brown gravy on, e.g., turkey. Country gravy is different and goes well with different things, like chicken-fried steak. (And now I leave you to Google what that is. ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_fried_steak )

And don't get me started on the places that serve abnormally shaped, completely unseasoned, deep-fried tater-tots as "hash browns". Ugh.
This is a low quality piece which is only serving to clutter more of hackernews with more opinion pieces on Facebook / Mr Zuckerberg.

This is not deeply interesting.
Yeah, that’s the kernel caching that (as I described) not some hardware specific thing the CPU is doing. Not disagreeing with you that L1 and L2 cache does exist on the CPU (and L3 in some instances) but it is much too small to hold the kind of data you’re suggesting. It’s really the kernel freeable memory (or file system driver - eg in the case if ZFS) where file system data - inc file contents too - will be cached. The CPU cache is much more valuable for application data to fill with file system meta data (in my personal opinion, you might override that behaviour in nnn but I’d hope not)

However regardless of where that cache is, it’s volatile, it’s freeable. And thus you cannot guarantee it will be there when you need it. Particularly on systems with less system memory (remember that’s one of your target demographics).

If you wanted though, you could easily check if a particular file is cached and if not, perform the rescan. I can’t recall the APIs to do that off hand but it would be platform specific and not all encompassing (eg ZFS cache is separate to the kernels cache on Linux and FreeBSD) so it wouldn’t be particularly reliable nor portable. Plus depending on the syscall used, you might find it’s more overhead than an actual refresh on all but a rare subset of edge cases. As an aside, this is why I would build my own cache. Sure it cost more RAM but it was cheaper in the long run - fewer syscalls, less kernel/user space memory swapping, easier to track what is in cache and what is not, etc. But obviously the cost is I lose precision with regards to when a cache goes stale.

While on the topic of stale caches, I’ve actually ran into issues on SunOS (or was it Linux? I used a lot of platforms back then) where contents on an NFS volume could be updated on one host but various other connected machines wouldn’t see the updated file without doing a ‘touch’ on that file from those machines. So stale caches is something that can affect the host as well.
Looks cool but I am not sure how I feel about silent updates and possibility of running arbitrary code on my computer. (probably with admin priviledges) [0]

Terrific read, can't wait for the sequel.

Having read the book once, and having seen the Lynch movie, and the miniseries (as well as Children of Dune) various times, I don't hold my breath to see a remake of Dune. At some point there's this thing where there's a certain fatigue of familiarity which is hard to impress.

I believe I'd gain more from reading the sequels. For my child however (who never read/seen Dune, and is too young for it now), I'd wish a remake for her, yes. However, the same is true for Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash" and "The Diamond Age" the latter of which reminds me somewhat about Dune.

Also - there needs to be an 'obvious scandal' with legs - like the the Cambridge Scandal literally had that pink-haired guy with many photo ops making a name for himself, it gives a 'face' to the issue.

You do get paid for books, however. So you’re just so slightly missing the point.
Every UX specialist and software engineer I know would be up in arms if they saw such a story in the backlog. I wonder about the internal dynamics of these work places as well.
I'm honestly not that sure that checklists are useful for writing software. It's a creative process where you are making the rules, not enforcing them. It's more like designing the plane, rather than flying it.

Now understanding how to write good software, especially good UI for human operators to work, is a hugely underrated skill. Many accidents (air crashes, nuclear accidents, etc) are caused by poor or confusing UI.

For operations, or devops, I think checklists are essential, and should be automated as scripts and dashboards. But always have the ability to do everything by hand if required, to cut out some step or modify something in a critical scenario (trust me, it always comes up, and when it does, you don't want to be shooting from the hip in a crisis).

I've specifically built jenkins operations boards with a bunch of buttons to run scripts and do operations, and it works great. You also get a built in log of who's doing what when, and what happened with it.

Also, just because I think it's interesting, and related to checklists, look at the Spanair 5022 flight disaster - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EruTu5O9LX8 . Basically they missed a step in their checklist to make sure their flaps were at the proper setting for take off, but being distracted and in an unusual situation, they didn't run through the checklist correctly. Anything with manual steps can fail, including checklists.

Preparing for these scenarios is actually I think the key here. Having the knowledge written down after you've designed a system to handle adverse conditions is just a no-brainer (although it seems like no one likes writing things down, I do!).
Is it possible that it is Google Cloud (console) IP?.
Transparency will also make it very easy to abide by some, though. Like imagine if Google's ranking algorithm was public. SEO spammers would greatly profit from that but overall the system would suffer due to their over-optimization for some things.

It does ignore fault tolerance yes I agree, because right now I don't need it. When you're bootstrapping this stuff you want to be as lean as you can. The plan is to move to Kafka, which I do use a lot btw, when there's a case to move to that level of throughput. If I had my way now I'd use Kafka, my wallet on the other hand disagrees.

I know the reason for needing three machines for a Kafka cluster. And I'm certainly not pitching Durable Queue as a Kafka alternative unless, as in my case, the throughput will be so low in the initial stages as not to warrant a full Kafka cluster.

I could have run Kafka on a single node.....

The "a bit like Kafka", weak yeah it is but the solution posted presented a fairly quick way to establish a queue and decouple messaging from the running application, that was the whole point.

Are these your opinions or facts? I'm talking about facts here.
Some shared connection (a family member, maybe?) probably let LinkedIn scan their mailbox without fully understanding the repercussions.

If that person had a persistent inbox like gmail, and ever been in email contact with the both of you, it probably inferred a connection that way. Or maybe it saw an incoming email where both of you were in the recipient or CC list.

It’s really creepy what they do, and it enables them to learn all kinds of information about somebody. That person doesn’t even need to have ever visited LinkedIn; it can be provided entirely by other people.
There are people today who hear voices, but they are a minority and we label them as mentally ill. The Jaynes hypothesis, as I understand it, is that in early civilisations the majority of the population heard voices and it was considered normal.

If you see a reference in literature to a god speaking to someone, you can't easily tell whether that's fiction, metaphor, an exaggeration, a lie, a narrative style, or a literal description of a real experience.

For me one of the biggest problems with the theory is how people's perception (whether they hear voices or not) could change en masse, presumably because of a change in culture or education, because I don't believe there can have been a biological change over that period. Therefore, if people educated in the right way could hear voices I'd expect there still to be groups of people (members of some religious sect perhaps) who hear voices. So I'd like to see a detailed description of one of those groups. Then I could perhaps believe that the phenomenon was mainstream in ancient Greece.

> or assume the southerner was just... evil (the average white southern man fought so that there would at least be something below him.)

This gets down to Arendt's idea of the banality of evil: people who do bad things (usually) aren't mustache-twirling masterminds, they're otherwise "normal" people for whom the morally wrong course of action is either easier or more compelling (including for reasons of racial superiority). My opinion: we shouldn't privilege the word "evil" by associating it with some kind of deep instrospection leading to immoral action -- lots, if not most, of the evil in the world stems from mundane small-mindedness.

When you consider that the average white sharecropper in the antebellum South inherited both social and political structures that granted him legitimacy in contrast to black slaves, it makes sense that such a status suffices for supporting war -- it's a matter of identity.
If a provider is offering free and paid plans, free plan is usually used to attract customers to try your service. The free plan is "paid off" with money that would otherwise go to marketing.

> but it is much too small to hold the kind of data you’re suggesting

My toy has a 3 MB L1 cache, 8 MB L2. You'll notice from the same figures that the resident memory usage of `nnn` was 3616 KB. And in the default start (not du) right now the figure is:

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
23034 vaio 20 0 14692 3256 2472 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 nnn -c 1 -i

So it required around 350 KB for `du`. Oh yes, it can be cached at will.

> check if a particular file is cached and if not

I am a userland utility. I don't add deps on fs drivers (and maintain redundant code... I discourage code bloat as much as feature bloat) when standard APIs are available to read, write, stat.

> However regardless of where that cache is, it’s volatile, it’s freeable.

Yes!!! The worst case! And the worst case for you is where all dirs have changed. There you issue rescan, `nnn` issues rescan. `nnn` is accurate because it doesn't omit independent files for _personal_ optimization preferences. You do. You show _stale_, _wrong_ info in the worst case.
I sometimes ask myself, what's the sensation I least want to experience right now? And inevitably I will find something in the body I have been avoiding. (And inevitably, facing it changes my relationship with the experience and gives some relief.)

I do not wish to counter with a list of Americanisms that British people find infuriating, as life is short and we might all expire before I was done.

I will note that — unlike in Europe where metrication and SI units have been legal requirements since 1973 and are in wide use outside of the scientific community — America has no agreed upon “system of weights and measures” as you put it, instead considering the adoption of any standard “voluntary”, which makes a farce of the very idea of standardi[s|z]ation[1].

Try writing a small project and sharing it. Show your passion rather than memorising leetcode. It’s very hard to know how good a coder you are with leetcode despite what Google thinks.

Incredible results, congratulations to Microsoft. What’s the combined annual run rate for the Top 5 providers now and is there a sensible breakdown in IaaS, PaaS and SaaS or is it predominantly combined reporting?
I don't recall precisely when but I do recall Netscape taking FOREVER to load, like you'd click on it and it'd take 10 seconds or more (that's what it felt like) to load. It'd sit on a splash screen telling you all the crap it was loading. IE at the time just loaded like a flash in comparison.

That was ultimately why I recall switching to IE at the time, nowadays there's no browser with that level of annoyance I don't think.

It is just that there is a difference between deliberate or avoidable bad behavior and situations where one cannot help themselves and need the transport system for emergency rescue.

It is crazy the latter could land you on a blacklist. A rating system is not necessary. A reporting system for the rotten apples would suffice, and the rest of the customers would be unrated.

The guy brought to hospital may end up in coma. Not able to clean up.

With reporting you cannot have a pissed-off driver land a pregnant women on a blacklist because she delivered her child in the car, and there is now blood on the seats.

There is some occupational hazard for taxi drivers and others in public transport. The provider company or insurance should cover cleanup costs.
