Did you try running the forecast with a log ceiling to control for the trajectory a bit? Or would that only be a concern of yours if you had to forecast past a couple of years? I find that when I use Prophet to forecast down to the day I end up creating initial forecasts with heavy log ceilings to prevent unreasonable estimates of the future and then end up removing the ceiling once enough history is established to provide a resaonable baseline.
I thought this article might bring it full circle and touch on the "time denier" theory, essentially claiming that a globally universal time does not exist. Carlo Rovelli's book The Order of Time goes into greater detail.
I tried openshift 3 when it was new and received apologies from RH employees on IRC because it was so buggy.

It felt like one guy saw kubernetes and decided to make a GUI for it, hence openshift. Felt like it was a true open source project, not bad, but not production ready for end users yet. This was early 2018.
>Many Android users also lament the lack of a visible filesystem but that's a huge plus in my eyes

That's awful in my eyes. What's more is my inability to browse that file system without a third party application when i want to simply move files to my computer.

The only reason I'm even contemplating the move to iOS, is b/c I have a android based, digital audio player that has 2 SDcard slots that I keep disconnected from Wifi (and it does n't have a 4G connection at all).

If my music was still on my phone, I simply would not move to iOS over this singular issue. You're talking 250-400GB of files, not including my downloads, my pictures, my Keepass databases, my SSH keys, my certs file for my VPN, and files that I don't want the OS to index and put in some general library.

It stills seem ridiculously daunting to let go of. Because I use it extensively. Daily - even without my music on there.

>ou guessed it, scan your internal storage and SD card and upload them feck knows where (and this has been proven by many advanced Android users)

Except only the apps I trust are allowed storage access.
If being irrationally angry and unpredictable was such a bad strategy, it wouldn't be so widely deployed. Being an unpredictable tyrant can be extremely effective, most especially against people who are unfailingly polite and civilized. The Kim family (of North Korea) has made excellent use of this strategy, for instance.
FWIW docker apps are just regular processes with some additional data structures on the kernel side. If the process(es) in the container aren't scheduled on a CPU (e.g., blocked or sleeping), the app isn't taking any more resources than any other process(es).

Frankly, a container-based app model sounds kinda nice!
Per many comments left on HN, the people that this does benefit are the PMs. It seems that a well-worn path to promotion at google is to launch products. Hence, the reason we have umpteen chat apps. Once the promotion occurs, it seems, the product is all but forgotten, having served it's purpose: a raise.

The divocring of incentives at google are at fault. The PMs aren't incentivied to do what is best for google, as it conflict with what is best for the PMs' families, college funds, mortgages, and health care. Hence, they do what is best for them at the expense of google.
To me this just seems like more duct tape over the fact that everything on the web is doing things it wasn't really designed to do. We never could have imagined what we would be able to do with HTML/CSS/JS in a browser environment. We also never could have imagined how the pressure of business demands would essentially drive more and more duct tape solutions until the whole web was built on rickety scaffolding all sort of lashed together and swaying.

There are backend bandaids and frontend bandaids but with the sheer amount of stack knowledge and framework knowledge required to do anything as a webdev these days, there's no way to stay on top of it all and we are just kinda winging some combination of best practices and getting shit done.

I don't know if things like PWAs and WASM is going to allow us to move towards a change yet, and would love input form someone with an opinion.
If you're in the US[1] you can trademark your project name, and then Google will pay attention. Of course getting a trademark isn't that easy either so the solution may be worse than the problem.

Discovery. From a technical point of view search doesn’t have to be centralized. Economics and the nature of markets may say different though
That is spot on. The only solution is to build houses with better materials that release less VOCs and/or use an air filter with a good activated carbon stage.

Carpets have become very popular. But cheap ones release tons of VOCs due to fire retardants and anti-stain treatments.

I've switched to a house built in the Scandinavian style, with oiled wooden floors and simple soap-treated furniture. Not only beautiful, but also lacks the typical brand new smell. Theoretically much better in terms of nasty VOCs.
> What to do about it?

Design with RCU, if you can.

> Time out writer acquisitions.

> If potentially starving writers is acceptable, adding a timeout to write-side acquisitions will bound how long readers can be forced to pause. GoCardless’ library for online Rails migrations implements this option for Postgres, and also discusses the challenges and implications a bit.

This is nearly the same as simply not having writer priority. If "potentially starving writers is acceptable", that implies we can consider reader-priority locks, which do exactly that: potentially starve writers.

Under writer priority, we hold back new readers so that the old readers can leave and let the waiting writer in. If we balk when the new readers are blocked for too long, and bump the writer, then it's simply not writer priority any more.
The fact that hundreds of thousands of Muslims are put into concentration camps and the world does nothing is amazing. I think that is how bad the world wants cheap stuff.
I don't think scenic is written in Rust. A big chunk of the source code in the topaz layer (the view layer) is still written in dart. With that said, many were actually surprised when it was revealed that ermine (the new fuchsia shell) was written in dart/Flutter [1] since earlier code for it was in Rust [2]. Guess that didn't pan out.

Okay, I'll play: what is the "emissions deficit" of a small electric scooter? Even combined with mass transit, surely the power consumed is miniscule compared with driving alone in a car, and the car is many times the initial manufacturing cost in metal parts, motors, even batteries.

I commute in the summer on a Boosted Board, which uses most of the 99Wh battery to go one way (8km). My electricity in Ontario is largely nuclear and hydro, but say it's the worst case scenario and all the power comes from gas— the emissions from consuming 0.1kWh is ~35g CO2:

https://canadianenergyissues.com/ontario-power-stats/

https://www.google.com/search?q=240+tons+%2F+602+MWh+in+g+pe...

This is a far cry from what it would be driving that same distance in my Mazda 5, which would be a little under a litre of fuel (21MPG -> 11.2 L/100km), or 2.3kg of CO2, a 65x difference.

It's possible you're coming from a place of legitimate care, but honestly your comment sounds a lot like concern trolling to me. If there's anything out there which needs an "emissions deficit" sticker to help dissuade conscientious purchasers, lets start with private automobiles.
I like to mix orm/non-orm.. for anything involving multiple joins and more complex stuff I'll just write raw sql...

Using laravel as an example I'll usually make a $sql var to hold, then just run DB::select(DB::raw($sql))); It still keeps things nice and succinct, I let DB handle some of the setup/connection boilerplate, and I just figure out the sql myself, but for 80% of the time I rely on Eloquent..

The benefit of relying on Eloquent is I tend to like to 'tie' into the event system, so for example you have to explicitly be aware when adding/deleting a user that might have other related tables created at the same time as 'setup', you can tap into the 'creating/created/saving/saved/etc' events and when a new user is 'created' you could create a profile for example.

For me I think the killer feature is keeping an event cycle when it matters, sure you can explicitly remember to update/map everything when you code your sql, but is everyone on the team going to do that? If you for example update profile>fullname whenever user->firstname or user->lastname is updated, it's easy using an orm. not so much when 15 different devs are updating things in different places in different ways using sql only. Everytime ->save or ->create( is called it handles the events you put in play. (This is just an example, I'd probably just do a setter or getter to grab the first/lastname and combine them instead of having duplicate data, but again this would only work if you're using eloquent to grab the data in the first place, because it's model related)

You say it as if it's a revelation or discovery, when Google is very upfront about surfacing relevant information and reminders based on your inbox.

On more than one occasion, this feature has helped me take actions on pending work items like payments, renewals and so on.

You don't want Google to show you ads, fair enough.
You don't want Google to surface for you (and only you) useful information that helps you organize your life.

It almost sounds like you just want Google to give you hundreds of dollars of compute, storage and service out of the goodness of their hearts.

I think both you and Google would be better off without each other.

Core damage frequency of modern plants is in the 1e-6 to 1e-8 range/year. That's 4-6 orders of magnitude lower than 1%.

I highly recommend you read some recent info regarding Chernobyl [1]. I'm not downplaying it at all. I'm using quantitative numbers produced by teams of UN and WHO scientists.

RE cost: climate change will cost trillions. Nuclear power plants can prevent that cost.

"Centuries" is a persistent anti-nuclear myth. Again, see [1]. I don't think you're well justified in saying I'm downplaying Chernobyl when you're going on and saying stuff like this!

Work with OpenShift a lot and I really like it. Very similar to Kubernetes but solves a lot of business problems including providing:

* security
* source to image builds
* a well designed ui for monitoring and configuration
* advanced routing techniques such as a/b deployments ect
* liveness probes, readiness probes and other needs
* metrics via a prometheus plugin
Maybe I'm just dumb, but I'm not following. How could they solve discovery once and for all, instead of managing it?

I don't see how decentralization would permanently solve discovery. I can see how it could be useful in other ways, but you'd still be managing an ongoing problem.
More likely is that they simply extend the term.

If you've never done embedded development before I highly recommend the two parts MOOC "Embedded Systems - Shape The World"[1].

The course is well structured, teaching the basics you'll need for those boards that doesn't usually have an OS and requires a ~40$ components kit that include a Texas Instruments board.
Quite fun if you follow along and do all the exercises.

Google's approach here seems totally wrong. The destination URL should be, exactly, the link as shown. If someone wants to track clicks using a third-party tracker, Google should offer an API for that which does not give the third-party tracker any ability to control the destination -- they have plenty of market power to impose this and, heck, they could even charge a small premium.

Most browsers support a lovely feature where the a tag has a ping attribute, which is intended for more or less this use case.

I'm a bit disappointed by all big companies focusing on the states. Fact is, over 95% of people don't live in the US. Every time I see some fancy new technology, chances are I'll never get to use it in my country.

A VPS is far more valuable than an email account. Compared to an email account, there are a lot more things you can do with a box in the internet you have root access to. That value difference is more than $10/year.

There are reasons to pay an email provider $50/year, but I don't think being $10 cheaper than a VPS is one of them. You have to provide something beyond what one can get with a VPS.

I understand how someone can appreciate ClearType on a normal DPI screen, but the techniques that ClearType uses to maintain sharpness are completely useless on hiDPI. On hiDPI you can have your cake and eat it too: accurately rendered glyphs with no sharpness compromises.

Windows may change to accomodate hiDPI displays, but it make take a decade or more given how Microsoft prioritizes backward compatibility, and most computers in the wild have low resolution screens.

MacOS had always optimized for typeface fidelity, and the results were blurry on low resolution screens, although you got used to it pretty quickly. But now with Retina screens that problem has been solved. Whereas Windows used a hack (ClearType) to make type more readable at the expense of fidelity, and now it can't use high resolution screens to the fullest because now applications assume certain things about font rendering. There's a lesson to be learned here about sticking to your values and software design, but I don't know what it is exactly.
I'm not saying the old Pinebook wasn't bad, I've never owned it but some of your points are a bit hollow for me.

> I had been looking at the phone a few days before and was astonished at how outdated the hardware was, even for an open source device that is possibly upgradeable.

Open source hardware projects don't have the luxuries that multi-billion dollar behemoths like Samsung do. They don't have access to pre-production SoCs so they're handicapped from the start and they need to handle everything from design to parts sourcing to manufacture to distribution themselves, with a small team.

That means you're going to get "outdated" hardware. You don't buy open source for the latest shiny things, you buy it for other reasons.

Cool! This sounds similar to koans: "a paradoxical anecdote or riddle, used in Zen Buddhism to demonstrate the inadequacy of logical reasoning and to provoke enlightenment."

If you explore the meaning of language enough you'll realize it doesn't really make sense.

Everything is based on context and assumptions that we take for granted when communicating. But if you dig deep enough (and it's really not that deep anyway), you'll notice that pretty much anything you say or write can be interpreted in multiple different ways, which means there's no one absolute meaning to any expression of language.

Meaning comes from interpretation, which is subjective and unique to the person doing it.

Interesting exercise: for a day or a week, make an effort to think how anything that someone else says to you is actually true - asume they are always right and think about how to justify it. It's really amazing, at first it's really hard, but then you discover you can always just interpret what they say in a way that fits your views.

I'd assume that as well, though there is mentioned that Sucralose and fat doesn't have that effect:

"To probe whether taste deficits were due to high dietary sweetness, we examined the taste responses of animals fed a sweet, non-caloric sucralose diet. However, taste responses to sucrose remained unchanged in these flies (Figure 1C, dark green) and there was no fat accumulation (Figure S1F). Similarly, flies fed a calorically dense (1.4 calories/gram as the 30% high sugar diet), but not sweet, lard-supplemented diet accumulated fat (Figure S1G, lime green), but had normal taste responses (Figure 1C), indicating that sweetness or excessive calories alone are insufficient to lower sweet taste sensation. In contrast, only sweet and nutritious diets such as those supplemented with D-fructose, D-glucose, and sucrose promoted a decrease in sweet taste responses (Figure 1D)."
