I think we'll see an explosion in AI created works, and then a countermovement to only consume things crafted by humans. Sort of like what we've been seeing with "organic" foods but for music, art, and news.
My admittedly very superficial understanding of this issue is that the most common way to run into the xid wraparound problem is tuning the autovacuum in the wrong direction. So you notice that vacuum is taking up a lot of your servers resources, and decrease the frequency. Or you notice that it can't really keep up, but don't tune it to be more aggressive or provide enough resources for it to do its job. Or you don't monitor this at all, which is a pretty bad idea if you do billions of transactions (with less you can't really hit this issue).

This is also a problem that gets far harder to fix once you've run into it. If you have sufficient transaction volume to potentially hit this, you need to monitor autovacuum and make adjustments early before you get close to the wraparound. If you don't, you suddenly have to perform all the vacuum work at once, blocking that table until it's done.

There are certainly US apartments/condos with high quality sound insulation. The lack of it is cost saving measure. Every cent that goes into the building comes out of the pocket of the developer.
I have been remodeling a house for the past 7 months. It is a pain. However, I feel like I could start a construction company with my knowledge. I had to purchase several books describing different concepts and work is done up to code.

Now, when I visit newly renovated homes, I see so much corner cutting, work that does not meet codes and sometimes is unsafe.

Plus, the stuff does not change as quickly as software. If you learn framing, you should be able to construct a house for many years to come. Also, much of the building codes is just common sense and most of the time makes sense. Software is just so abstract compared to physically building a house.
Completely agree with the orderly redistribution.
>Are there any resources to better understand _why_ this can't be resolved?

The issue is TCP's design assumption around a single stream. You don't get any out of order packets but that also means you don't get any out of order packets, even if you want them. When you have multiple conceptual streams within a single TCP connections you actually just want the order maintained within those conceptual streams and not the whole TCP connection, but routers don't know that. If you can ignore this issue, http/2 is really nice because you're saving a lot of the overhead of spinning up and tearing down connections.

>If HTTP 1.1 performs better under poor network conditions, why can't we start using more concurrent TCP connections with HTTP 2 when it makes sense?

Because it performs worse under good conditions. TCP has no support for handing off what is effectively part of the connection into a new TCP connection.

And QUIC essentially _is_ your suggestion.
At least they added an explanation with regard to "best efforts":

Further, they added "future developments" to the state of the art of existing means.

Which volume of Programming on Purpose are you reading?
True. The nice thing about 16' lumber is that you can still just barely haul it in a full-size pickup by weighing it down, strapping it in, and putting a flag on the ends sticking out. Once you're talking about 20' plus you probably need to pay them to deliver it -- which realistically is the better option anyway if you're talking about doing a whole garage, as that would be a lot of trips in a pickup truck. A shed is small enough it's easily manageable with just a pickup truck.

The one thing the big box store had, that I wish I had gone to a lumber yard for, is PT 4x8' 3/4" plywood for the floor. I ended up using non-PT and painting it to seal it, but it still probably won't last as long. At least it's a couple feet off a bed of gravel, which should help.

I’ll venture to say that “standards of living” are largely subjective, beyond some basics like access to food and shelter from the elements. Nothing wrong with wanting a big house with a big yard. Nothing wrong with wanting a tiny house or living in a van.
> The program can dissect a financial report the moment it appears and spit out an immediate news story that includes the most pertinent facts and figures.

As an accountant in a prior life, I can tell you that this approach won't provide anything near "the most pertinent facts". That's because public earnings reports are written specifically to circumvent automated analysis. Wall Street firms have tools in place to scrape the data tables from those PDFs, and even then the technology isn't perfect, because layouts aren't standardized (merged cells, table built in InDesign, etc).

At best, it will get the headline numbers right, which are meaningless without context. What does a quarterly profit of $3.3m for MSTR mean without benchmarking against its competitors, or taking the macroeconomic environment (interest rates, etc) into account?

The headline numbers on the balance sheet, P&L and cash flow statement don't say nearly as much as the notes to those statements, which often contain minute details that are extremely relevant for investors and analysts. Trained accountants and analysts can miss details when reading through those, so how is AI going to parse it any better?

Unfortunately, this smacks of "quantity of articles" over quality of analysis, the latter of which represents why journalism is valuable and necessary.

What I think you're pointing to is the rhetorical patterns employed by someone who believes they are preaching to the choir. There's no need to explain or justify why something is wrong. It just plainly is and your assertion will be taken on faith because it is aligned with what your audience already believes.

The final paragraph spells out, I think, what the subheading hinted at with "dangerously influential". This is ultimately a political polemic.
Conspicuous consumption is not new by any means. You sell a $10 lamp by putting it on a $100 table. Here's a quote from a 1992 research paper:

"The spending patterns of the pretentious members of the baby boom generation, or yuppies as the media called them, contributed much to the materialistic image of the eighties. According to a Newsweek cover story, yuppies are defined as those people born between the years 1945-1960 earning over $40,000 in a professional or managerial position (Andler, 1984). Conspicuously consuming a variety of status symbols, yuppies sought not only to impress others, but also to express themselves as members of an elite professional class.

Although yuppies comprised only 4.6 million, over half of the 76 million baby boomers were found to act like this unique group (Marketing News 1985; Rice 1989). Yuppies' well publicized consumption patterns provided a distinct template for other generations to emulate as well. Common status expenditures as defined by this group included BMW automobiles, cellular phones, Rolex watches, ]aft apartments (Andler, 1984), CD players, and designer clothing (Belk, 1986)."

The right not to bothered is a civil right, something Marriott doesn't get (Victims have a lot of options to send signals):

Marriott employees all over the world are being trained to help spot sex trafficking at our hotels."
They give a fuck about your vote, though. It your vote is informed (as well as the vote of a significant chunk of the informed population), you can bet your ass they'll wonder pretty hard what happened when your vote goes elsewhere.
This is weird to me, because I work at a UPTO company and most of my co-workers take at least 3-4 weeks off a year of vacation time and they don't have to worry about it cutting into their sick leave. Whereas, I've worked at other companies and you may start at 15 days PTO and it's one bucket for sick time and vacation.
I hope this doesn't end up opening a horrid can of worms. What are the implications if the worlds and concepts overlap ?

The issue with most of the studies that say this is how they measure mobility. If the focus is on the ability to move up in income percentiles, then it's an unfair comparison.

Why? Because while it sounds nice to say "avg german child moves from top 50% to top 65% while avg american only moves from top 50% to top 55%", American salaries are much higher, and cost of housing is on par or lower than Europe, so top 55% is a much higher financial increase for the American.

Reading your post made me realize that I've unwittingly used your technique, without clearly understanding why it works.

When hiring for an intern/junior position, I will often ask for a sample of a candidate's school projects. My rationale for this request is to see an example of their code. In practice, some candidates never follow up on my request; some send me a big hairy zip file with no context; and some obviously take the time to clean up their code and add comments before sending it to me. I've even had one or two create a GitHub account and push their code to a public repo to share with me, after we've gotten to talk about their knowledge of git.

Thank you for the insight that while trying to gauge technical skill I ended up evaluating thoroughness and care ;)
You do realise that this is the epitome of first world problems though ?

According to what I can find they were using a dosage of 0.5 mg per kg in this study, but dosages can be as high as 1 to 4.5 mg/kg when used as an anesthetic.

He didn't come up with it on his own - it was based on previous fallacies which also caused millennia of suffering. Bad economics taken seriously does that in general - many wars were fought under the gold standard to boost the effective economic cap imposed by deflation.

Like it or not, Instagram is the strongest platform for photo sharing at this point since 500px never really took off and Flickr is a raging dumpster fire that refuses to go out. I have 2 Instagram accounts that are basically the last vestiges of my social media presence: one for street photography which is a longstanding hobby of mine, and one for more social-media-y stuff and portraits of friends. Instagram, for better or worse (most definitely worse), is the best way to share these photos with a wider audience whether they're selfies or meticulously-edited photos which would otherwise just sit on a harddrive.
If you care about scalability and availability simultaneously, I'm not sure in these modern times why you would use a relational database. When they fail, they fail catastrophically and are difficult to recover, as this failure event (and the never-ending stream of failure events posted to HN) demonstrates.

Don't get me wrong--I love relational databases and they are amazing pieces of technology. But they are incredibly hard to "do right" at scale while maintaining availability SLAs.

edit:

I would appreciate if downvoters would explain their decision to downvote, so that if I'm incorrect then I could at least update my beliefs. My position is based on years of experience watching relational databases maintained by professional DBAs catastrophically fail in strange ways, and subsequently taking a long time to recover, causing complete blackouts. And having yet to see such failures in managed NoSQL DBs like DynamoDB.
Same in Swedish and probably also Norwegian, which both have a pretty substantial online gameing presence
If the trial takes PayPal you can also reject authorization for automatic payments in PayPal.

Just be aware that blocking the payment doesn't necessarily cancel the service so you can end up in collections if you don't cancel in rare cases (like if you signed a term contract)
> One thing I don't understand is, if it's encrypted, we'll never see hardware accelerated QUIC ?

I think parts of it can still be hardware-accelerated. For example, OpenSSL et al will take advantage of available AES encryption CPU instructions, if it knows about them. So, if the TLS library supports such offloading, then the HTTP/3 library would get that benefit.

> I've read it's 2 to 3 times more CPU intensive, aren't we implicitly giving an artificial competitive advantage to the "Cloud" ? By the "Cloud" I mean big provider with like (obviously) Google, Cloudflare, Akamaï ...

Happily, a number of those vendors are kernel developers, and contribute changes back upstream. So, if the bottleneck is in the kernel (for example, by a lack of UDP fast processing paths), then I expect those cloud providers would be working on contributions to make kernel UDP as performant as kernel TCP.

The next thing that would be missing is support for UDP offloading in the NIC space. But TBH I don't know much about the current state of hardware offloading, so I can't speak to it.

> Isn't TCP already versioned ?

I was curious about this, so I looked it up, and I don't think it is. IP is certainly versioned (IPv4 vs. IPv6), but looking at the list of protocol numbers[0], I only see one entry for TCP. And I don't see anything that looks obviously like 'TCPv2'.

No one wants willow bark, they want aspirin. You can't grow aspirin in your back yard, you need to do chemistry to turn the bark into the medicine. Plus willow is a tree and you can't grow it everywhere.

Cannabis approaches that point where if it were any easier to grow, everyone would. But it's not quite there yet.

Water requires organization but is plentiful enough to be mostly free for typical amounts. Companies that do the organization are heavily regulated and the people running it aren't getting rich.

Personal stories are fine, bit they should limit their conclusions to themselves and not project or over generalize upon others, at least not without pointing to data or a well tested model that backs up their assertions. Statements like "socialism makes people dead inside" are as vaccuous as the same assertion would be if applied to capitalism.

From what I've seen in demos, it addresses low-level plumbing elegantly but I don't see how a relatively unobtrusive framework (I mean it as a major compliment) can help against making plain old design mistakes with wrong events, commands etc. that don't fit together and are unable to satisfy requirements.
TCP fix requires a lot of coordination. First you need microsecond time stamps. Then you need an RFC to reduce RTOmin below 200ms. Then you need ATO discovery and negotiation. A lot of moving parts and you end up with a protocol that’s still worse than QUIC. Also note that Linux maintainers have refused to accept patches for all of these things and QUIC is to some extent a social workaround for their intransigence.
So you're saying (correctly I think) that it doesn't have anything to do with the CD itself but everything to do with how the album was engineered. CD's don't magically introduce compression, it's about the production trends in mainstream music (which suck).

I'm confident that a good producer and engineer could make an album on CD sound extremely close to an LP, likely by mastering the album similar to the way you would for an LP.

I am an Economist subscriber and just download the audio edition each week. I listen to it when doing other tasks that don't require 100% mental focus such as housework and am usually able to complete each week's issue before the next one releases. I am not absorbing the content as well as if I were to sit down and read each issue, but this is a reasonable tradeoff for me.

They also have an android/iphone app for subscribers, but I've had a lot of issues with playing audio through it and find it much easier to simply download each week's .zip file of .mp3's and play them with my audio player of choice.
Your racist comments notwithstanding, the idea of founders moving to a place where they can access funding networks is one of the reasons why there is a strong productive ecosystem in SV for starting firms. If they could have tapped the same funding networks and skillsets in other places, they would go there, too. I'm not saying it's something in the water, it's the whole ecosystem of investors, employees, infrastructure, social networks, etc.

Seriously. I bought several books too, checked out more from the library, and also watched a ton of YouTube tutorials.

Incidentally, cripple studs need a better name ...
