Here's the problem though: units of work aren't independent. You are in a privileged position to say no to unpaid overtime, but most people on the planet, upon doing so, would likely not just lose the overtime, but also the paid time as well.
You’re not going to run your analytical queries off your production DB once you have more than a couple users writing ad-hoc queries. And you probably don’t won’t to replicate your salesforce/ads/clicks into your prod db. So you’re going to create a replica. So why does it matter if the replica is a different type of database than prod?
I tried using the new 1558 model on the headlines of news articles and the results were surprisingly decent. Maybe 1/5 of the articles were plausible, and 1/5 were comically awful (Things got pretty zany when I plugged in an LA Times article titled "Yes, Elsa and Anna wear pants in 'Frozen 2.' And yes, it’s a big deal."). Of the remaining 60% of the articles, a lot could be made plausible with some light human editing. I also didn't fine-tune the model or tweak many parameters, which I'm assuming would lead to even better results.

I did notice that some types of articles tended to be easier to fake. A sports article asking a coach about his team's performance would end up spouting the same handful of platitudes, and some random sports statistics that sound realistic unless you look into them. Some articles that were more on the wonk side of things (lots of statistics and not a lot of context) also seemed to produce decent results, although I'm sure they're ridiculous if you're in expert in the subject matter of unemployment figures or auditing a city for overtime charges.
You do still _use_ rsyslogd if you enable it. journald is fundamental to some core systemd functionality. Of course you can't get rid of it.
Unless you want to use it on any flight, I've been flying a lot lately, with different airlines - every single one of them completely bans every 15" MacBook from 2015.
> First one sounds much easier for a beginner to me

They didn't say it wasn't easier, just that they'd learn less. A better platform to learn on doesn't result in you learning less.

This is even true among "professional" developers, they think somethings impossible just because it can't be done inside visual studio because they don't know how all the parts fit together, all they can do is hit F5.

> Linux/CLI: Learn an obtuse (beginners, remember) command line text editor, save the file, run another text command to run it, remember the error as you go back in. Fight with apt to get things to work, pray there are no dependency conflicts/errors, learn sudo, go find an IRC channel to help with a package not working with some obscure error about "but it depends on .. which is not installed, try (command that won't fix anything)"

Aside from the command line text editor you have deal with almost similar issues with VS, different but similar. You can end up in DLL hell from nuget, you can fight with click once deploys, you can find useless "answers" on MSDN, etc.
The entirety of the drive train is huge. You have to turn two propellers which have to propel a ship weighing thousands of tonnes. To produce the necessary torque you need to have some big components. The supporting infrastructure you need to heat and circulate the fuel, then to supply it to the engines is another thing too.
Gas turbines are much smaller but would be unsuitable for this particular application as they have good efficiency only at high loads. The range of loads this is used for would mean they are unsuitable.
Didn't do it for me after multiple attempts :(
Well, or the code base had no organization to begin with and he’s moving in that direction.

Sometimes individual people can be very focused on their particular assignment and greatly resent somebody forcing them to make even small changes. Even if those are to make a global API smaller and more consistent.
(and as long as there is at least one actor interested in RTT, and this actor happens to controlling both endpoints for a significant amount of traffic crossing the internet (Chrome/Google), there will be good mix of connections with and without spinbit)
I try to take a different direction. Let's suppose some ai generated content is better than human created content (IMHO we are quite there). Let's go further: maybe in the future we will trust again only some "trusted sources" (newspapers? HN?) while everything else will be not taken into account because the quality will be low (like some comments saying the source is not in the industry...).
Bikeshedding, the ultimate reality of the Linux community
FreeBSD has been attempting to port launchd since 2005 or so[1]. PC-BSD/TrueOS used to have launchd branch but I think they eventually committed to using OpenRC instead. AFAIK launchd require Mach IPC support in-kernel and require XML parser running in PID 1 so it didn't see much support because of complexity and amount of work it introduces.

I would simply say that testing APIs with pacts is a better approach than e2e testing.. Overall e2e testing is something you want to get rid off, cos development loop with it is too long and not modular.

All you should care about in an API testing is its specification correctness. Whats below should be tested by component tests or even units.

This approach more or less already has a concensus in api world. Im surprised there are still ppl doing e2es.
> Its not like they can move that cruise ship anywhere it couldn't have gone on its own.

It's absolutely like that, in scenarios where the cruise ship is broken.
You kind of mentioned this yourself already, but this boon is more of a feature of the JVM (the classpath) rather than the dependency manager.

If Python would have a similar concept rather than depending on a global module location we would be able to replicate the same developer ergonomics as we have for the JVM.
You can always learn the hard way later. Less distractions and friction is better for initial learning.

Can't say VS has ever given me problems outside very complex large projects that are out of scope here while the Linux part is based on experience.
On the one hand, there are no serious alternatives to systemd. (There are unserious ones like OpenRC, and abandonware like upstart.) And there's no point in Debian crippling itself in the hope that a serious alternative will spring up. Personally I find it intrusive and unintuitive, but I'm willing to admit defeat. Might as well take the plunge and go all out.

On the other hand... man, it's sad to see the state of things, where IBM/Red Hat employees basically run the entire Linux userland, and stuff Red Hat doesn't use gradually bit rots away. We saw it with Gtk3's poor support for non-GNOME apps, we're seeing it with various systemd components being required for GNOME (which incidentally breaks non-Linux OS's but who cares about those?), we're going to see it when Wayland replaces X and breaks every old app that hasn't stuck with the upgrade treadmill. As a Debian user since the early 2000s, it saddens me to think of all that we're going to lose because "Linux is not about choice."
Right, but SQL databases aren't the only kind of database. I gather that the guy in the original anecdote was referring to a relational database specifically, but not all databases are relational. The filesystem is a perfectly good hierarchical document-based database, and it's worth thinking about it that way in both theory and in practice.
The low to midrange Xeons with this kind of memory capacity have ECC.

If you're not buying for your particular specifications, you're doing it wrong anyway... There are plenty of workloads tolerant to ECC errors (e.g. just about any kind of simulation).
> We get a P<1.64E-14. Therefore, I think we all can agree that we can reject the null hypothesis of RenTec having no alpha.

The probability of my particular shuffled card deck is around 1E-68: vanishingly less likely. Therefore I think we can all agree we can reject the null hypothesis that my card deck was obtained at random. /s

Highly unlikely things happen all the time. Their occurrence should not be ascribed to alpha due to occurrence. The probability of occurrence due to occurrence is of course 1.
Imagine a mentor who belittles you, exaggerates your flaws, and brings up false accusations only in private, during one-on-one meetings, and only picks on you in secret. But outside they are very friendly.

I have had two such mentors.

I am extremely suspicious of any such one-on-one arrangements when there are no written records and opportunities for challenging unfair assessments formally. There has to be second opinions from disinterested parties.

Now imagine an office politician who relays to you bad things other people said about you, and relays to others bad things you said about them, and encourages retaliation between staff. I have worked with one such person. Again here, under the guise of mentorship of one-on-one feedback there is a lot of gossip being generated.

I can already predict that there will be more people who think they can mentor than people who think they can improve.
It is NOT monolithic at all. It is probably ignorance, but I never really understood why would people say this.

My main complaint is that journald is unreliable and is losing log entries (or lines, if you will).

I had an automation recipe that would start a bunch of cloud instances, configure them and start certain job via a systemd service unit, and collect logs from this job 24 hours later. Initially, we were pulling these logs via journald as logs for that service unit. But then we noticed that random lines (1-5 lines out of maybe 40 for a single job) would be missing in about half the instances.

We ended up pulling those logs from files in /var/log instead, made courtesy of rsyslog. Not a single missed line.

Again journald is unreliable and as a whole should be nuked from the orbit.
Interesting. Talking about metaphoric memes, you might have noticed that pretty much every police and action show spends a lot of their time showing people with guns, and often flashlights too, exploring gloomy places.

There must be some academy for actors to learn how to dance from corner to corner holding the gun in the most sexy way.

Edit: is there some place with explanations of the signs patrols use? Like raising the fist in an angle to mean "stop".

I'm not deep in the ecosystem and certainly no expert but I got one of those small iPads for free and tried using it as a device for browsing the web.

AFAIK there is no way to make Safari execute any cosmetic filters at all. (My uBlock Origin setup lists ~50k network filters and 150k cosmetic filters)

There are cookie notices, social media buttons, premium newspaper article headlines, comment sections, fixed elements and content "suggestions" everywhere. Unusable.

I use css filters in ublock origin to increase the font size of the HN comment titles because I often miss the collapse or vote links. ...or to block the food suggestions in Googles shoppinglist that, by appearing as an overlay, always hide the first list entry to suggest me to buy "hamburger". (I'm not joking.)

I still do have the device somewhere and I am open for suggestions on how to get control over the content (or at least remove ads) on an ipad, but I don't think there is currently any full content-blocking solution for iOS.

Which is a shame because (in my case unbearable software aside) the device does not appear bad from a hardware perspective.
> Show me an alternative to systemd that matches its functionality and consistency.

I'm using runit on void for years now. It has no functionality besides being a service manager. Having more functionality is a non feature.

> because it can both save you massive time

It also can cost you massive time whenever it doesn't work. Then you have to dig yourself through an opaque mess caused by literally millions of lines of C code. I wouldn't trust it with any mission critical. The only usecase for systemd I can think of is grandmas laptop. Maybe that is the target audience for debian, who knows. It is certainly not me.

I'd guess, like another commenter, that some people might get this type of oscillating behaviour due to feedback mechanisms: working for 48 hours straight (enabled by mania) could trigger a recession, requiring intensive recovery, which enables a new visible episode of mania.

Note that the "off time" need not be matched by a depressive episode (and in fact I find that unlikely, since depression is not very restful) -- it could simply be exhaustion hiding the symptoms of the underlying (long) manic episode.
Aircraft engines are designed to be light, and sacrifice low cost and the ability to burn cheap diesel fuel for that.

Java and Kotlin and Erlang (again, literally my "pet favorite language" since, predictably you're going "lalalalala you just dont get simple languages lalalalal") are all languages known to be used by programmers to make useful stuff, at a success rate much much higher than Clojure.
> but humans will never actually write SQL. They will instead ask questions about data in a natural language.

Someone trialed an idea with directly interpreting user text queries at my previous job. They gave up after seeing what people typed in.

People have no concept of what the computer needs to do it's job, so you get terse gibberish. At a minimum you'd need the computer to talk back and get them to clarify, but I rather suspect people would hate that. It'd feel like you spent 20 minutes arguing with a computer to run a report.
It's good abstract advice for writing, but in practice, even when you're writing the first draft of a longer work -- a novel or novella, or even a short story that has multiple scenes -- it's not uncommon to come up with an idea in the current scene you're writing that's going to require changes to an earlier scene. This is true even if you're working from an outline (even if major beats in the story are set before you're writing, you're almost certainly going to have room for improvisation, and that might just lead to better versions the scenes you thought you already had in mind.) And I've also found that when I sit down and discover myself blocked on a story -- or, for that matter, a technical blog post or even documentation -- sometimes going back and doing minor editing what I wrote the day before will kickstart the creative process.

What I always wondered is: Why is a lot of the discussion about systemd vs initd when systemd is so many things. And the follow-up question would be: Why hasn't anyone taken apart systemd and reused only the parts they found useful, like the system manager for example. "Systemd: The Good Parts", so to speak.

Luckily, I'm out of that predicament. It was actually really hard to see it for what it was when I was in it. That environment had all the trappings of a healthy engineering culture, and sometimes it truly was healthy, but only in hindsight have I realized some of the ways in which it was deeply screwed up.

What helped was talking with former coworkers, and going to work someplace that is actually healthy. It's not totally unlike finding yourself in a healthy relationship again after being in an unhealthy one.
Are WA voice and vid calls also e2e encrypted, or only the text msgs you send?
Thanks to your comment I spent a few moments figuring out how to do that. It's not perfect but it's a huge improvement. I've had camera access off but photo access on. I turned it off and then used photos to select pics and then pick share and choose the app. For FB messenger it starts a new thread which works great. If you choose a single user it will add to that thread. For the main FB app it starts a new post. I'm not sure there is a way to add photos to comments or events or albums without photo access.
I’ve only recently started working with Python, and I’ve already been bitten by TensorFlow v1 and v2 packages having different APIs, so the viability of that approach will depend heavily on which packages you use.

However in SemVer a major version number change is how breaking changes are documented, so seeing a v1 to v2 change coupled with having to do some work to fix breakage is just expected, something that may well be necessary for a project to make progress.

Sometimes between August and September, and it was on Suse Linux Enterprise Server 12.

The lines would go missing mostly if the logs were collected two or three days later instead of immediately after the job finished (it was a job running for 24 hours), which leads me to think it had to do with journald expiring entries to save on disk space. A consistent log manager would expire them chronologically, but here the lines were missing from the middle or the end of the output, so not the oldest ones logged.
Alternate init systems (upstart etc.) have been trying to fix the sysvinit mess and failed to gain traction. Then systemd came along with a 'we do a little bit more' approach and all relevant distributions (yes, really) could agree upon using it.

I'm writing this under the influence of Deming, but could you be confusing individual productivity with productivity for the whole department, company, country, world?

Any engineer is only as productive as the system she works in, and a system that eschews communication for long periods of solitary work is not, generally, a productive system.

I vaguely remember reading about an old study from one of those telephone companies in the '60s or so about engineering productivity, and they found that the single thing that set the "best" engineers apart from their peers was in how much more they communicated. I haven't been able to find this study, but if someone knows what I'm talking about, please shoot me a link or something.
Nevermind the fact that the women Somnez attacked were themselves harassing another woman in tech - even after she apologized (what her alleged offense was I'm not clear on).

These women, as can be seen from their histories, are not new to this kind of behavior, and indeed they have explicitly said that they see civility and discourse as something invented "by white men, for white men" as a means of oppression.

Somnez may have been excessive in his behavior, but he was doing it to draw fire away from an innocent individual.

If it's something technical then yes, 100%, you need exposure to multiple different systems, and sticking to your MS enclave is going to seriously limit your abilities.

Despite SystemD Linux is better than ever as a coding OS and as a desktop OS. It works great on a huge range of hardware and it provides frictionless access to tools to code in more languages than you can shake a stick at.

If Gnome is too heavy or restrictive for you (and I haven't gone near it since 3 launched) then try a different DE like Xfce. There's a selling point right there - switch DEs at the drop of a hat.
I have personally yet to be convinced of AI generated media content (read articles, videos, photos) maybe the bias that I know that they are AI-generated, but to me it’s equivalent buying a cheap knockoff iPhone from China: it’ll work if you don’t really think about it, or do not know the difference.
